Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

The three of them walked quickly into a study room used for office work.

The style of the room is grand and simple, which is completely opposite to the modern minimalist style.

There are not only various cultural relics and ornaments, but also some calligraphy and paintings that look very old.

Jiang Cheng looked around and then shifted their attention to the table.

There was a pen, a few books, and several simple photo frames made of rosewood neatly placed on the table.

Jiang Cheng looked at the photos displayed on it curiously.

He found that there were two people in the photo above that he recognized, one was himself and the other was his second grandfather.

As for the other few people, he didn't know them at all.

Just as he was thinking, his great grandfather said, "When Mingsheng Group was founded, it was still a turbulent period. By the way, I also experienced the turbulent Huangputan era. I was the same as you. I was studying in the Magic City at that time. Thinking back, it was really a good time."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "You actually also went to college in Shanghai?"

Jiang Cheng's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

Seeing this, the second grandfather Jiang Chenghong quickly added: "Yes, my eldest brother has loved reading since he was young. The university he attended at that time was much more famous than your current school."

When talking about this past event, my grandfather couldn't help but reveal a deep affection and nostalgia on his face.

It was as if I had traveled through the tunnel of time and space and returned to the youthful days full of vigor and vitality.

He said with emotion: "At that time, I was not yet 18 years old, just your age now, full of vigor and vitality, determined to serve the country, and participated in the movement despite your grandfather's opposition. Therefore, for a long time, I kept my identity secret and did not dare to let others know the true situation of my family, for fear of implicating my family."

Second Grandfather continued, "Yes, at that time your grandfather always told me not to be like my eldest brother, but to stay at home and do business honestly and live a peaceful life."

"Although he blamed her, he was still thinking about his elder brother. Every time he earned some money, he would do everything he could to ask someone to send it to his elder brother in Shanghai, fearing that he was suffering and lacking food and clothing over there."

After hearing this, the great grandfather's eyes became moist again and he sighed.

"Alas, I have been busy all my life and have had very little time to spend with my family. I feel so guilty about them. When I finally had some free time, my father passed away..."

"And you, Mingming Sheng Group has grown so big now, but we still have to hide our identities outside and dare not easily reveal our identities."

Second Grandpa quickly comforted him, "Brother, no one will blame you. The reason why Mingsheng Group has been able to rise rapidly and expand in size is all because of your behind-the-scenes management and your connections."

Besides, I have benefited a lot from your help over the years! Even if others don't know that you are my elder brother, so what? With your help, I have seen a lot of the world and learned a lot, which is enough. "

"You are a hero of history. After the society was pacified, you have been working on the economy. We who are engaged in foreign trade are grateful to you."

Thinking back to the time when I started my business with my father, the environment was so bad. It was because of your efforts that we have a stable era, most people have enough food to eat, and everyone respects and loves you. "

The great grandfather just shook his head and said, "I have done my duty to the times, but I have failed to fulfill my duties to these families. It is absolutely true. It is said that those who plant trees will enjoy the shade. I was too stubborn before. If I were a little more selfish, I would probably be spared by my grandson now, right? Why did I let Jiang Cheng be alone without a brother?"

Looking at the eldest and second uncles hugging each other's shoulders and expressing their feelings, Jiang Cheng felt a little strange in his heart again.

Although most people in the 1960s and 1970s did not have a good life.

But compared to young people of our generation, people of that era were more sentimental and had a broader perspective.

Otherwise, how could there be so many heroes of the era?

The grandfather sighed and then picked up a photo frame: "Nuo, this is your dad. Isn't he cute?"

Jiang Cheng took the photo frame from his great-grandfather and saw his old man holding a very realistic toy gun and smiling mischievously at the camera.

"I never thought that my dad looked like this when he was a child!" Jiang Cheng said with emotion.

"That's right. I used to say that he was very cute when he was a child, but unfortunately I didn't have much time to accompany him then. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, when he reached my age, I also grew old, and there is a generation gap between us."

There was a hint of helplessness and regret in the grandfather's tone.

After listening for a while, Jiang Cheng had roughly figured out the reason why his great-grandfather and his father had a bad relationship.

Before coming here, he had thought that the reason his father ran away from home and was unwilling to return home was because of love between a man and a woman.

However, from the time they met until now, the two elders have not mentioned a word about the relationship between them. Instead, they have been discussing their father, his brothers, and the entire family.

This phenomenon indicates that things may not be as simple as Jiang Cheng had previously thought.

"Grandpa, why didn't my dad come back?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng asking so directly, the great grandfather did not choose to hide anything.

He picked up a photo from the side and said to Jiang Cheng, "You will know these things sooner or later. Look, these children in the photo are actually your father's brothers and sisters."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

He looked at the photo carefully and found that the children in the photo were of different ages, but upon closer inspection, there were indeed some similarities between everyone's appearance.

"I never thought that my father had so many brothers and sisters. I have never heard him mention them..." Jiang Cheng said in surprise.

As soon as he finished speaking, the great grandfather sighed deeply and said with a choked voice: "Yes... Alas, more than ten years ago, they passed away one after another and went to the other side to accompany your grandparents."

When Jiang Cheng heard this, his brows frowned involuntarily.

It seems to be similar to what I had guessed before.

No wonder everyone has always said that he has become the only grandson of the Jiang family.
