Grandpa Li lay quietly on the bed, not speaking for a long while. Only when he saw his granddaughter's worried gaze did he force a smile and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa is fine. At my age, I've seen it all. This is nothing."
Li Xianglu smiled and said, "Yes, Grandpa, try to be positive. I think the situation is going to get better. Look, Uncle Qin has already returned, and Grandpa An will be back soon too."
Mr. Li shook his head and said, "You don't know, your Grandpa An is different. He was injured back then. He recuperated in the countryside for over a year before he rejoined the troops. It was because of this that he was isolated for an investigation by the organization. Someone accused your Grandpa An of being a traitor, and no matter when, 'traitor' isn't a label that's easily removed."
Li Xianglu frowned and asked, "Didn't Grandpa An explain it? Didn't he find the villagers to prove his innocence?"
