Chapter 480: My Eldest Brother Is an Undercover Agent?
Deng Shirong did have a lot of questions about his elder brother.
His father told him very clearly that when his elder brother went out to serve in the army, he joined our army, but now his elder brother has transformed himself into a general of the party and the country. What happened?
Hearing his younger brother's question, Deng Shize was silent for a while, then said: "I will talk about this question when the children are here. I have kept this matter secret for so many years, and it is time to let them know."
Deng Shirong knew that his question was abrupt, so he changed the subject and said: "Brother, if the third sister knew that I found you, she would definitely be very happy."
Knowing that the third sister was still there, Deng Shize was even happier and asked quickly: "Where did the third sister marry? How is her life? How many children do you have? Oh, I almost forgot to ask, how many children do you have, Laojiu?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "The third sister married to Baoshan Village. The third brother-in-law is an honest man and treats the third sister very well. They have five children, just like you, the eldest brother, with three sons and two daughters. They live a very good life. Happy.
As for me, I have seven children, five sons and two daughters. Except for the youngest son who is still studying, the other six children have already started their own families.
Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi are the children of my eldest son. "
"Great!"
Deng Shize applauded and asked, "Old Nine, when your five sons were born, your parents were still alive, right?"
Deng Shirong naturally understood what his eldest brother wanted to hear, and nodded, "They were still alive. They were very happy to see their five grandchildren. When they left, they were also full of children and grandchildren."
"That's good! That's good!"
Deng Shize felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart. The people he felt most sorry for in his life were his parents. It was his biggest regret that he could not provide for his parents until they died. Fortunately, Old Nine provided for his parents until they died, otherwise he would not have the face to see his parents after he passed away.
Seeing that the topic was getting serious, Mrs. Hu asked, "Old Nine, are you here to travel with your grandchildren?"
Deng Shirong nodded and smiled, "Yes, sister-in-law, I have set a rule long ago. If my grandchildren do well in the exams, I will take them out for a trip during the summer and winter vacations. I will take them wherever they want to go. As a result, Xiao Dong'er wanted to come to Taiwan to play, so I brought them here.
Thanks to Xiao Dong'er, if she hadn't wanted to come to Taiwan to play, we brothers would probably never have the chance to meet again in this life."
"Indeed, if we brothers hadn't met today, we would probably have had no chance to meet again in this life."
Deng Shize said with emotion, "I have always wanted to bring my children and grandchildren back to my hometown to recognize my ancestors, but you know the situation in the two places in the early years. It was impossible. The situation has changed in the past few years. Many people around me have returned to their hometowns to visit their relatives. When they came back, they said that the mainland is now open and they are very enthusiastic about them, the Taiwanese compatriots.
No However, they were all ordinary people and businessmen, and my identity was different after all, so I wanted to observe and make a decision.
As a result, when the situation gradually became clear and the time was ripe, my body was not doing well again. ”
Deng Shirong asked with some concern: "Brother, how is your health now?"
Deng Shize smiled and said: "They are all old illnesses left over from the Anti-Japanese War. The doctor said that if I take good care of myself, I should have hope to live another three or two years."
Although Deng Shirong had experienced life and death in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard that his elder brother had little time left. He asked: "Brother, is there no cure for this old illness?"
Deng Shize shook his head and said: "This can no longer be called a disease. I suffered too many injuries during the war and overdrawn my vitality. You don't have to be sad. I was able to survive on that cruel battlefield back then. It was already a blessing from my ancestors. These decades were earned. "
This is absolutely true. Too many people died in the Anti-Japanese War, and those who survived were all earned.
While Deng Shirong and his brother were chatting by the fire, Deng Yunfu, who had received a call from his son, hurried over with his second son and youngest daughter.
Entering the hall, Deng Yunfu's eyes locked on Deng Shirong and greeted him, "Uncle Man, I'm Yunfu."
Deng Shirong looked at his nephew, who was dressed in a suit and had the style of a successful person, and nodded and praised, "Not bad, you can tell at a glance that you have a successful career."
Deng Yunfu smiled and said, "Uncle Man, you are too kind."
Deng Shize continued, "Yunfu opened a food company and his business is really good."
"Mr. Man, I'm Changyou."
"Mr. Man, I'm Changxiu."
Deng Changyou and Deng Changxiu, the two siblings, also greeted him.
Deng Shirong looked at his energetic nephew and niece, and asked with a smile: "You two should still be studying, right?"
Deng Changyou replied: "Yes, Mangong, I am a junior this year, and my sister is a freshman."
Little Dong'er greeted her grandfather without any reminder: "Uncle, Brother Changyou, Sister Changxiu, I am Little Dong'er."
Dongzi followed suit and said: "Uncle, Brother Changyou, Sister Changxiu, I am Dongzi."
Deng Yunfu praised: "What a good child."
Deng Changxiu looked at this cousin with spiritual eyes and asked with a smile: "Little Dong'er, how old are you this year?"
Little Dong'er said: "I am already 15 years old."
Deng Changxiu said: "Then I am 4 years older than you!"
……
Of Deng Shize's five children, only the eldest son Deng Yunfu and the youngest son Deng Yunshou stayed in Taoyuan County to develop, while the second son Deng Yunlu and two daughters all developed in other places.
After Deng Yunfu's family arrived, Deng Yunshou's family also arrived within two minutes.
Deng Yunshou has a son and a daughter. The daughter is named Deng Changqiong, who is 12 years old this year, and the son is named Deng Changshang, who is 10 years old this year.
After talking, Deng Shirong also learned that this nephew and niece-in-law are both junior high school teachers. This profession is still very good, especially since teachers in Taiwan generally have a relatively high income, which is currently unmatched in the mainland.
Although Deng Shize's second son and two daughters are developing in other places, they are not far away. Before four o'clock in the afternoon, they were all here.
The eldest son's family of five, the second son's family of four, the youngest son's family of four, the eldest daughter's family of four, and the youngest daughter's family of three, which adds up to more than 20 people, is still very lively.
Deng Shize looked at his eldest grandson and said, "Grandson, you wait here with your brothers and sisters. I have something to tell your elders."
Deng Changzuo nodded and said, "Got it, Grandpa."
Deng Shirong also said, "Little Dong'er, Dongzi, you stay here and play with your brothers and sisters. Grandpa will talk to Uncle."
Little Dong'er replied obediently, "Okay, Grandpa."
So, Deng Shize walked to the second floor with the help of his children.
The others followed him upstairs.
When they arrived at the living room on the second floor, after everyone was seated, Deng Shize said, "There is something I have buried in my heart for decades and have not told any of you. I originally planned to take this secret to the grave, but today I unexpectedly met your uncle Man, so it's time to take out this secret that has been buried for many years and tell you about it."
When these words came out, Mrs. Hu and her children, daughters-in-law and sons-in-law were all excited.
Deng Shirong was also very curious. His elder brother had joined our party, but he turned into a general of the party and state, which made him mistakenly believe that his elder brother had long been dead. What was going on? He wanted to know more than anyone else.
Deng Shize began to narrate: "My original name was not Deng Shidong, but Deng Shize. When I was a teenager, I was spotted by the secret front of the Communist Party. He taught me a lot of knowledge, so my real identity is actually a Communist Party member. To use the words in the current movies, I am an undercover."
Hearing this, Mrs. Hu, her son, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law were all stunned.
It was really unbelievable for them that their husband (father), as one of the generals of the party and state, was actually an undercover.
Deng Shirong had the advantage of first impression. He knew that his elder brother had joined our party, so when he heard the word "undercover", he easily accepted it.
However, although Deng Shirong easily accepted the identity of Big Brother as an undercover agent, he still had many questions in his heart. He couldn't help but ask: "Big Brother, your undercover career should have ended in 1949, why has it continued until now?"
Others also showed strange expressions when they heard this. Even if it didn't end in 1949, and he still needed to continue to hide, he shouldn't have hidden until retirement, right?
Deng Shize sighed and said, "If everything was normal, this situation would not have happened. Perhaps I could have returned home to honor my family and even had the opportunity to take care of my parents in their old age. Unfortunately, I encountered an accident while undercover and encountered a major crisis.
That time, I was seriously injured and almost died. Later, after I recovered from my injuries, I learned that the intelligence team I was in had been wiped out.
I don't know which link went wrong, but from that time on, I lost contact with the organization.
Although I have always wanted to find an opportunity to return to the organization, I couldn't find a suitable opportunity until the defeat of the Kuomintang, so I was forced to follow and came to Taiwan.
As for what happened later, you all know it."
Deng Shirong and others looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that the story turned out to be like this.
Deng Shirong had also watched many spy movies in later life, so he naturally knew how dangerous it was to engage in spy work. In order to protect his comrades as much as possible, the identity of the undercover agent should be known by as few people as possible.
If the entire intelligence team was destroyed, it would be normal for those who survived to lose contact with the organization.
If the organization sends someone to "wake up" the latent personnel, then the latent personnel will have a chance to return to the organization. If something unexpected happens and the organization does not send someone to "wake up", the latent personnel can only continue to lurk.
Obviously, his eldest brother belongs to this situation.
Seeing that his wife and children were shocked by the news, Deng Shize said seriously: "I originally planned to keep this secret. After all, it is not good for you to tell it. If the news leaks out, it will be harmful to you.
So, you have to keep this matter to yourself and don't tell the children. Just pretend that it didn't happen, understand?"
"Got it, Dad!"
Deng Yunfu and others responded one after another. They still understood the seriousness of this matter. If it was leaked, the consequences would be disastrous.
Deng Shirong said with emotion: "It's such a pity. If you had not lost contact with the organization back then, but had developed smoothly, you would have been the first general of our Deng family. Although you are also a general now, the general of the party and the country is still a little lacking."
Deng Shize felt very sorry that he could not return home in glory, but after so many years, he had let it go and said with a smile: "When I joined the army, I never thought I could become a general. At that time, I was full of passion and just wanted to kill the devils.
In the years of the war of resistance, I killed dozens of devils with my own hands, if not a hundred, and led the team to kill even more devils. This life is worth it."
Deng Shirong thought for a while and asked: "Brother, do you still want to return to the organization?"
Deng Shize said: "Of course I do. I have waited for decades to return to the organization, but unfortunately I have no chance."
Deng Shirong said: "Brother, if you have a way to prove your identity, I can help contact the leader."
Deng Shize shook his head and said: "It's useless. After so many years, if the organization knew me, they would have found a way to contact me long ago, but no one has contacted me. Obviously, something unexpected happened. Even if I want to return to the organization, I can't People can prove it to me. "
Deng Shirong sighed: "In this case, then you can only be an unknown hero, anyway, there were too many unknown heroes who fought for the country. "
Deng Shize smiled and said: "Compared with those unknown heroes, I am very lucky to be able to survive until now."
Old Mrs. Hu reminded: "Old man, it's almost time, it's time to go to the restaurant to welcome Lao Jiu. "
"Okay, let's go downstairs!"
Deng Shize nodded, then looked at his children and said: "You are not young anymore, you should understand the severity of the matter. I emphasize again here that you must keep this matter to yourself and don't tell anyone, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, understand? "
"Got it, Dad!"
Deng Yunfu and others responded in unison. Of course, they knew the seriousness of the matter. Although their father had retired, if this kind of thing was leaked, it would definitely not end well.
So, the group went downstairs.
Downstairs, Deng Changzuo and his siblings were waiting.
Seeing that grandpa and other elders had come downstairs, Deng Changzuo asked, "Grandpa, it's almost time now. Should we go to the restaurant?"
"Well, let's go!"
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Deng Shirong and his party arrived at the most upscale restaurant in the county.
While waiting for the restaurant to serve the dishes, Deng Shize said, "Old Nine, tell me about the situation in your hometown. I have heard many people who have returned to the mainland to visit their relatives say that the mainland is now in the process of reform and opening up, and life is better than before, but I heard that it is still very poor. I wonder if it is true?"
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Compared with Taiwan, the mainland is still very poor now, but after the reform and opening up of the mainland, the changes can be said to be changing with each passing day, and it will definitely get better and better in the future.
As for Bangjie Village where our Naye Deng family is located, it can be said to be famous in our Bobai County. The six or seven hundred households of the Naye Deng family not only live in big villas, but also have at least hundreds of thousands of deposits. Even if you look at the whole country, it is the richest village."
When these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Among Deng Shize's five children, the best-off is the eldest son Deng Yunfu, who opened a food company. Not to mention more than a year, it is not a problem to earn 10 million Taiwan dollars. If converted into RMB, it is about 2 million a year.
The second in terms of economy is the youngest daughter Deng Yunhua. Her husband is also a businessman who does clothing business. The net profit of the year is about one million RMB, which is also very good.
The third is the second son Deng Yunlu. The couple is a fruit wholesaler and has an annual income of hundreds of thousands.
The fourth is the eldest daughter Deng Yunlian. The couple are both public servants.
The last is the youngest son Deng Yunshou. The couple are both junior high school teachers.
Although Deng Yunfu, Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunlu are all worth more than hundreds of thousands, they were still shocked by Uncle Man's words.
After all, Uncle Man has said that among the hundreds of households in the Deng family, the least wealthy have hundreds of thousands of savings. They dare not imagine how much savings the most have.
They are living in prosperous Taiwan, and have a father who is a general. They have such a great advantage that they have such wealth now, but the people in their hometown don’t have such conditions. Why are they so powerful?
Deng Shize was originally from Naye Village, so he naturally knew the situation in Naye Village. He was shocked and said: "Old Nine, is what you said true? Every household in our Naye Deng family lives in a big villa and has at least hundreds of thousands of savings?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Of course it is true. Now that the mainland has reformed and opened up, there are opportunities to make a fortune everywhere. Yunfu, Yunlu, Yunlian, Yunhua and Yunshou, if you are interested, go back to your hometown to develop. It will definitely be better than staying in Taiwan."
Deng Yunfu and his five brothers and sisters looked at each other when they heard this. They grew up in Taiwan since they were young. For them, Taiwan is their hometown. They don’t know anything about their hometown in the mainland. Even if this was said by Uncle Man, they would not easily give up everything in Taiwan and shift the focus of economic development to the mainland.
Deng Shize didn't care what his children thought. He couldn't wait to say, "Old Nine, tell me about the development of the Deng family in Naye over the years."
"Okay, it all started with the distribution of land to each household..."
Deng Shirong briefly told his elder brother, elder sister-in-law and other younger generations about the process of his leading the development of the entire clan. At the end, he said: "At present, the Deng Group established by our Naye Deng family is already the number one private enterprise in the country. If you ask anyone who knows the situation in the mainland, they should know about our Deng Group."
After listening to the history of the Naye Deng family's rise, Deng Shize was really amazed and praised: "Old Nine, you are really great. You can actually lead the entire clan to this point. You are much better than me as the eldest brother!"
As for the younger generations such as Deng Yunfu, they admire Uncle Man very much.
With his own efforts, he led the entire clan to become rich and developed the group established by the clan into the number one private enterprise in the country. This ability can be said to be far ahead of them. It is difficult for them not to admire him.
At this time, the waiter also started to serve the dishes, and everyone stopped the topic.
"Laojiu, these are the specialties from Taiwan, you try them."
"Xiao Dong'er, Dongzi, these dishes taste good, try them and see if you like them?"
"Uncle Man, you are so awesome, I toast you a glass."
"Mr. Man, you are my role model for hard work, I toast you a glass."
"Mr. Man..."
As the meal started, the younger generations were so enthusiastic!
Before, they respected Deng Shirong, the elder, purely because of seniority, but now this respect is not just about seniority!
After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors.
Deng Shirong put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother, you have lived in Taiwan for decades. When people get old, they should return to their roots. Do you have any idea of returning to your hometown to retire?"
Deng Shize also put down his chopsticks and sighed, "Returning to my hometown to retire is my long-cherished wish, but my current physical condition makes me afraid that I can't even take a plane. It may not be easy to go back."
Deng Shirong thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to the hospital for a detailed check to see if we can take a plane. If it is really not suitable for taking a plane, then we can take a ship. As long as we pay attention, I believe it will be possible."
Deng Shize was moved. He could barely hold back his longing for his hometown before. Now that he saw his brother and heard his brother talk about the changes in his hometown, his longing for his hometown has reached its peak. He wanted to fly back to his hometown immediately and see the land where he grew up with his own eyes.
"Okay, Yunfu, you make arrangements tomorrow. I'm going to the hospital for a checkup."
"Okay, Dad, I'll make arrangements in a minute. I can do the checkup tomorrow morning."
Deng Shirong looked at his sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, you've been married to my brother for decades. It's time for you to go back and pay respects to our Deng family's ancestors."
Old Mrs. Hu was also a little excited and said, "This is what I should do. If your brother can take a plane, I will accompany him back to his hometown to retire."
Deng Shirong nodded secretly after hearing this. His sister-in-law is different from his brother. His brother grew up in Naye Village since he was a child. He is naturally full of affection for his hometown. No matter where he is, he can't forget his hometown. Although his sister-in-law's ancestors are from Fujian, she grew up in Taiwan since she was a child. For her, Taiwan is her hometown.
Nowadays, it is rare to be willing to accompany her brother back to his hometown to retire.
After all, her sister-in-law's circle of friends are all Taiwanese. After arriving in the mainland, she has to give up her existing circle of friends and start over. Being able to do this proves that the relationship between her brother and sister-in-law is still very good.
"Yunfu, Yunlu, Yunlian, Yunhua, Yunshou, if you five brothers and sisters want to return to your hometown to develop, you can also make preparations in advance."
"Okay, Uncle Man!"
