"snort!"

Lu Wu held Tuan Tuan in his arms, looking completely content with his grandson.

What's the child's name?

"The one in your arms is your older sister, Tuantuan, and the one in my arms is my younger brother, Yuanyuan."

"Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan, what a wonderful name."

Lu Wu nodded in satisfaction.

"Uncle Wu."

When Xia Lan arrived, Qin Yu was already at Lu Wu's house with the child; she had searched all the way here.

"Lan, you're here too? You brat, how could you just leave Lan behind like that?"

Lu Wu was so angry that he hit Qin Yu twice.

"Don't be angry, Dad. I know the way."

Xia Lan smiled at Lu Wu.

“We’ve already prepared a house for you at home. You don’t need to live with us. Qin Yu specially bought a house for you across from ours and decorated it in your preferred style.”

"We're just waiting for you, the master, to move in."

Xia Lan's words startled Lu Wu.

"I'm just an old man..."

Lu Wu pursed his lips, suppressing his reddened eyes.

“Even if you’re an old man, you’re still Qin Yu’s father.”

Xia Lan said what Qin Yu wanted to say but couldn't bring himself to say, and Lu Wu was shocked.

She looked up at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu looked at Lu Wu with a smug smile in his eyes.

See? My wife knows exactly what I'm thinking.

"..."

I was initially touched, but seeing his smug look made me want to hit him.

"Clean up all those bookshelves."

Lu Wu rolled his eyes at Qin Yu and ordered him to do the work without any politeness.

"Alright!"

Qin Yu smiled and stuffed Yuanyuan into Lu Wu's arms. Then, as Lu Wu had asked, he packed up all the things they were going to take from the house.

Because they had so much stuff, the military simply sent a vehicle to take them to the train station.

"What did you do to make them look like they're seeing the King of Hell? Begging you to back down?"

On the way back, Qin Yu looked at Lu Wu and said with a smile.

"...Who knows?"

Lu Wu snorted lightly, who knew those greenhorns would be so untrained.

"The soldiers we recruit these days are getting worse every year! They can't even stick to this little bit of training! They don't even have the perseverance you had back then..."

Lu Wu looked disgusted, but Qin Yu gave him a speechless glance.

No wonder they wanted to kick him out.

"Whose new recruits start with a 20-kilometer run?"

"You're training like your life depends on it!"

Qin Yu relied entirely on his willpower back then; he wanted to make a name for himself and didn't want to be looked down upon.

So he trained like crazy, and at that time, very few people in the army could keep up with his training.

"Hmph! They're just not good enough."

Lu Wu snorted. Apart from Qin Yu, he hadn't seen many other promising talents.

Xia Lan watched them bicker and sat down beside them, chuckling softly.

As Lu Wu boarded the train back home, he still felt like he was dreaming, and was somewhat lightheaded.

He hasn't left the army for many years.

"What? Still think you're dreaming?"

Qin Yu patted Lu Wu on the shoulder, then took out a small flask of wine.

"The whole one?"

"all."

Lu Wu desperately needs alcohol to calm himself down.

The two started drinking on the train. Xia Lan didn't disturb them, but instead put the two mischievous children down to sleep.

"Sleep time, close your eyes."

At Xia Lan's command, the two little ones immediately closed their eyes in cooperation.

Lu Wu didn't know if he was sleeping or not, but he found his obedience extremely endearing.

"He's really good material for a soldier."

Lu Wu laughed.

"Tuantuan wants to join the army."

Qin Yu pursed his lips.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Why send a perfectly good child to the army instead of keeping him by your side?"

Lu Wu immediately launched into a tirade of insults.

"..."

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Qin Yu was utterly speechless.

"That's not what you said back then?"

Qin Yu looked at Lu Wu, who snorted softly.

"How can that be the same? Being a soldier is so tough! Why make our two little darlings join the army! There are so many other things they could do..."

Lu Wu completely reversed his initial statements.

"Besides, things are different now than before. The country is developing, everything will be fine, and there's no need for war anymore!"

Lu Wu snorted and said smugly.

He also reads the newspaper every day and keeps up with national affairs!

"..."

Qin Yu glanced at him with amusement and poured him a drink.

"They can do whatever they want. Lanlan and I have agreed not to restrict their development!"

Lu Wu looked at Xia Lan, who smiled and nodded.

"Alright!"

Seeing that Xia Lan had already said that, Lu Wu stopped talking.

They clinked glasses with Qin Yu and shared a small drink.

Feeling great.

When they arrived at the train station, Qin Jun and Xiao Yuqin had already been waiting for them for a long time.

"Lu Wu".

"Qin Jun".

When Lu Wu saw Qin Jun, he immediately stepped forward and saluted. Qin Jun took his hand down and shook it with him.

"Thank you for taking care of my son all these years and raising him to be a successful person!"

Qin Jun was very grateful to Lu Wu, especially after Qin Yu recounted everything about his time in the army. Qin Jun knew very well that Lu Wu had been secretly protecting Qin Yu all along.

Otherwise, given all the trouble he's caused, he would have been discharged from the military long ago.

"That kid is as stubborn as a mule, I can't do anything with him!"

Lu Wu replied with a smile.

"Let's go! Everything's ready at home, let's have a good drink today!"
