Song Jingzhou didn't even look up. "Oh, and then?"

"You don't mind?"

“What’s there to care about? According to everyone, my family background is also problematic. Many people in our brigade and several surrounding villages call me a bastard.”

"The uncle and aunt did nothing wrong. One is a doctor who saves lives and the other is a teacher who educates people. They are both indispensable talents in society and are both respected professions."

Song Jingzhou looked up at Su Qingci with a smile and reached out to rub her head twice.

"I'm overjoyed! I used to wonder what kind of family raised you to be so clever, quirky, and adorable."

"With such excellent genes, our children will definitely be smart and beautiful in the future."

Su Qingci punched him on the shoulder. "What are you saying? Be serious."

"What? You're blushing now? Didn't you say you were going to give me eight children, and every single one of them would be a boy?"

"Shut up, or I'll punch you!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."

The heavy atmosphere instantly lightened up after Song Jingzhou's interruption.

Su Qingci then began to talk about her grandmother's background, her love-hate relationship with Qin Xiangxiang, and the recent events.

"So, to bring honor to my ancestors, I must go back to Kyoto."

“In fact, it’s quite possible that I’ll find a way to stay in Kyoto.”

"Oh~"

"oh?"

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"What are you talking about? I'll be wherever you are."

Su Qingci was startled, "You?"

Song Jingzhou smiled and said, "I'll go to Kyoto with you. Didn't you want to be closer to home so you could take care of Grandma? Then let's stay in Kyoto together."

"You know, apart from my aunt, I basically have no relatives here."

"That was the reason I went abroad for three years before, but I came back later because of some other things."

"Even if it weren't for you, I would still go to Kyoto."

"I was worried about you before, and I didn't feel comfortable leaving you here alone, so I kept putting it off. Now that you want to go back, isn't it perfect for us to agree?"

Su Qingci was a little surprised, "You were originally going to Kyoto too?"

Song Jingzhou looked up at the north. "Yes, they started urging me to go there at the end of last year."

"I won't hide it from you, it's because of my background."

"You've found your biological parents?"

Song Jingzhou mumbled, "There's a clue."

Su Qingci asked curiously, "The clues are in Kyoto?"

"Hmm~"

"If you've made up your mind, we'll take care of it here. Don't worry about the household registration issue; just come with me to the military base to register your household."

Su Qingci quickly pulled her hand away, "I don't want to. You know it's too tiring, I won't do it."

“I have plenty of food and drink. Ideally, I wouldn’t have to do anything and could just stay home with my grandma.”

Song Jingzhou playfully grabbed Su Qingci's arm and leaned his head against it.

"What about me? Are you willing to let me go? If I go in, and we happen to be on a mission or something, we might not see each other for half a year."

Su Qingci asked in confusion, "How can you go back after you've retired?"

"Going back is easy. At the very least, you can re-enlist, or you can be recalled as a special talent."

"and you?"

"I am the second type."

"You're quite a talent?"

"I have some research experience in mechanical engineering."

Su Qingci looked surprised. "Mechanical?? Cars? Tanks and cannons?"

"Stop guessing, it's a firearm!"

"You may not know that our country is currently suffering from blockades and sanctions by Western countries in many aspects, including the economy."

"Although there have been some signs of easing in recent years, strategic materials and various high-end products such as electronic chips are all still restricted."

"Under such high-pressure blockade, the country can only try its best to cultivate talents in all fields and reduce its dependence on the capitalist market."

"Before the Lunar New Year, I submitted several blueprints for upgrading gun parts to my superiors. After the Lunar New Year, they replied that, after review by relevant departments, the materials I submitted were used in several important light weapons."

"It not only increases the damage of the firearm, but also improves all aspects of the firearm's attributes."

"Actually, I received the recall notice more than a month ago."

"As for the reason why we haven't gone back yet."

"Firstly, I thought I'd be a little dramatic and try to get them to send someone to invite me, then I could take the opportunity to make some requests."

Secondly, it's because of you.

Seeing that Su Qingci was listening intently, Song Jingzhou reached out and gently pinched her nose. "So, will you come with me?"

"I know your personality. When I go back this time, I should be given an important position. I'll try to get you an easy job."

Su Qingci quickly refused, "You're kidding me. Being a soldier is more tiring than farming. Basic soldiers have to endure all kinds of physical training, and even an arts soldier has to practice all kinds of talents every day. They're either doing the splits or jumping."

"Are you suggesting I go and tend the fire to raise pigs?"

"Even the vegetable washing in the mess hall is so much work that it would probably make my hands bald from being soaked in water. Raising pigs? Raising pigs is no easy job either. I heard that you have to help with breeding, deliver babies, and take care of the mothers during their postpartum period."

"Don't try to fool me, I'm not going!"

“I just spend some money to buy any job outside, and I go home to be with my grandma every day from nine to five.”
