Chapter 240 Another guest arrived
Shang Ruoting processed the juice in the space according to the taste of the fruit juice she bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. Not only the children liked it, but the adults like it too.
This meal was even more lively than the Chinese New Year, and both the host and the guests were very satisfied.
Although Gao Ming had seen a lot of the world, it was the first time he had eaten such delicious food, especially the two kinds of wine, which made him understand what good wine was.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone left Tan Chen's house one after another. When they left, Shang Ruoting also brought some pork back for each of them.
Everyone thinks that the young couple Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting understand the ways of the world and are worth making friends with.
Time passed little by little, and on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Tan Chen's family welcomed another guest.
Li Jiasheng arrived at Sihe Village exhausted and was now standing with his feet up looking into the yard.
Tan Chen and Gao Ming were both very surprised. The New Year was approaching, why would he come here instead of reuniting with his family?
Gao Ming took the lead and took his luggage. He asked, "Were you also forced to retire by your family?"
Li Jiasheng knew that Gao Ming often spoke without thinking, so he didn't argue with him.
He said directly to Tan Chen: "Boss, you know me well. You are the only comrades in the army who I can talk to. Now that you and Gao Ming have retired, Xiang Yang and Su Qiaoli are newly married, I am really bored being alone."
"It's the Lunar New Year holiday, so I went home for a few days. My family keeps nagging me to introduce someone to someone, but I don't have the heart for that right now, so I thought I'd come to your place to hide."
Tan Chen knew Li Jiasheng. Although these words seemed to be an understatement on the surface, the real reason could not be that simple.
When the three good brothers get together, they naturally have endless things to talk about. After Shang Ruoting and Li Jiasheng greeted each other, they gave the room to them.
The three of them sat cross-legged on the kang and first asked about the situation of some of Li Jiasheng's comrades. Seeing that he was almost warm, Tan Chen asked:
"What on earth happened to you?"
Li Jiasheng had long known that he could not keep his story secret, so he told it out.
"It's not a big deal, actually. I just feel unhappy working in the army, especially since you two have retired. I've been planning this myself."
Gao Ming was a little anxious when he heard him say this: "Li Jiasheng, don't let your imagination run wild. You know best how I left. That wasn't my intention."
"We're where we are today thanks to our boss, who led us through missions without fear of life or death. No one knows the hardships we've endured over the years better than we do."
"Don't act impulsively. Think carefully."
Tan Chen didn't try to persuade him, but continued to ask for details.
"Can you tell me what happened to you?"
When Li Jiasheng mentioned what happened, the eyes of this tall and strong man actually turned red.
"Gao Ming had just left the army not long ago, and his position was taken by someone else. In the past, I usually went on missions with Gao Ming, and this time was no exception. I went with the new guy."
"In the end, we agreed when we left that we should follow the plan after we got out. He would be in the front and I would cover the rear."
"But when we got there, he changed his mind and said he was new and unfamiliar with many things, so he wanted to switch places with me."
"I was also thinking of taking care of the new guy, so I did what he said. But just when I was almost done, he brought his men over and took all the credit away from me. He even reported me back to the army and accused me of sabotaging the target."
"I was so angry that I dragged him to my superiors to seek justice. In the end, my superiors punished me without giving me any reason to discuss the matter."
"I, Li Jiasheng, cannot work with such a mean person. Coincidentally, my family is always urging me to go back and spend time with the elders, find a partner, get married, and have children."
"I've also been hesitating recently about whether I should return to society like you."
Tan Chen did not express any opinion on this. After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and no matter which path they choose, it is a choice.
Gao Ming was different. He was forced to retire from the army and always felt sorry about it.
"Li Jiasheng, don't be stupid. If you really retire from the army, you will definitely regret it."
Li Jiasheng was currently wavering. After hearing Gao Ming's words, he asked, "Tell me, why do I regret this?"
Gao Ming only knew this feeling, and he himself couldn't explain why he regretted it.
Since leaving the army, he no longer has to abide by any strict discipline and can do as he pleases in many things.
But it is different in the army. You have to get up on time and rest on time every day. When there is a mission, no matter how dangerous it is, you have to be at the front.
