"Brother, you're amazing! I need to learn from you. Let's grab a couple of drinks later."
Su Dahai looked at the sunlight with great admiration.
He had been thinking of quitting the sea after a few years, but now he has decided he can't quit.
He might not say he'll work until he's eighty, but he'll at least work until he's seventy!
He's fifty years old now, the prime of his life. Looking at the sky, his hair is already white, yet he can still be a special forces squad leader. Su Dahai suddenly felt that he wasn't old at all and was full of energy.
“Alright, I am indeed much older than you. The little guy calls me Grandpa, so it’s not wrong for you to call me Old Brother in terms of seniority.”
Tian Guang nodded. In his eyes, Su Dahai was no different from Su Xuekuo and the other children.
Su Dahai called him "brother," but he didn't really want to accept it.
But humans are based on seniority, and he is learning to adapt.
He originally only wanted to acknowledge Su Tiantian, but now that he has acknowledged Su Dahai as his elder brother, it means that he is willing to truly join the Su family.
"I'm glad you don't mind, brother."
Su Dahai smiled shyly.
For some reason, he always had the illusion that he was still very young in front of Tian Guang, and he felt a little unsteady when he called him "older brother".
Tian Guang's gaze fell on Dai Ping'an, whose mental state was deteriorating. He smiled at Tian Guang.
The sky nodded slightly.
Su Tiantian came out after taking a shower, just in time for dinner. She went to help Dai Ping'an, who patted her hair and looked at her kindly, asking, "Little one, did you have fun today?"
Su Tiantian nodded emphatically: "I'm very happy."
Holding Dai Ping'an's hand, she felt his withered body and her mood plummeted.
The old man is about to leave.
Tian Guang walked over to Su Tiantian and said, "Don't be sad. Tomorrow, Grandpa will find something good for him to eat, and he'll be fine after he eats it."
Although rare treasures imbued with spiritual energy are hard to find, he knew of places where they existed.
His children should grow up freely and happily.
Su Tiantian's mouth trembled, and she almost burst into tears.
Dai Ping'an glanced at the sky and smiled faintly, saying, "I've lived enough. I have no regrets. If you really care about me, let me go in peace."
"Life has an end; that is my fate."
If he hadn't met the Su family, he would have died three years ago. As for life and death, Dai Ping'an didn't feel that he couldn't let go of anything. He had never suffered from illness, and he was very content.
Tian Guang frowned. He had seen countless people who didn't want to die, but this was the first time he had seen someone face life and death with such composure.
"What are we having for dinner today? It smells so good!"
Dai Ping'an showed no signs of pain and looked at Liu Xiaohua with a smile, asking her a question.
Liu Xiaohua replied with a smile, "Grandpa, we're having cod soup today."
This was made especially for Dai Ping'an, who has been eating less and less lately.
Everyone knew that his time was coming to an end, and they felt a pang of sadness.
Dai Ping'an entered the house with assistance.
Tian Guang doesn't eat much when he's eating normally, but because he had some doubts in his mind, he didn't eat much either.
After dinner, except for Su Tiantian who was allowed to go out and play, Su Xuemin and the others were all ordered to stay home to review their books and take a bath.
Tian Guang and Su Tiantian walked on the beach.
Not far away, a black dorsal fin peeked out from the sea.
Su Tiantian was chasing after the waves.
After playing for a while, she went to Tianguang's side and said, "Grandpa, why are you unhappy?"
"Grandpa was thinking about a question: why do some people try their best to live when they are about to die, while others don't?"
Tian Guang had been thinking about this question. In his mind, the human race was hypocritical, fickle, and greedy.
"I don't understand either. It's probably like how mothers love their babies. Not all mothers love their babies, and not all babies love their mothers. If I can't figure it out, I won't think about it. My goal is to eat well, sleep well, and live to be a hundred without getting any gray hair."
Su Tiantian didn't understand either, but she wouldn't think too much about it; if she didn't understand, she didn't understand.
There are many things in this world that we don't understand, and not everything needs an answer.
Tian Guang picked up Su Tiantian and smiled gently: "You're right."
That was none of his business; he didn't need to figure it out.
When Tianguang carried Su Tiantian back to the Su family home, Su Tiantian was already asleep.
Even Tian Guang sighed, "It's so good to be a child. You're innocent, carefree, and can fall asleep anytime you want."
Tian Guang went to the army the next day.
Su Tiantian's happy life returned to normal.
Every day after eating, he and Wang Jiao would meet up to play in the mud, and they were both completely absorbed in it.
With the arrival of summer vacation, Su Luo returned.
Su Tiantian didn't go out with Wang Jiao today; she changed into her new dress early and waited at home.
Su Yongli squatted on the wall and saw Su Luo walking towards him with her bag in the distance. He immediately jumped down from the wall and called out to Su Tiantian.
Master, your mother is back.
Su Yongli meowed a few times beside Su Tiantian.
Su Tiantian immediately opened the door and ran out.
Dai Ping'an then opened his eyes and gently instructed, "Slow down, little one, slow down..."
Liu Xiaohua came out when she heard the commotion.
Su Tiantian ran towards Su Luo.
"Mother."
Su Tiantian called out to Su Luo.
Su Luo stood there, her eyes suddenly stinging with tears.
The mother and daughter had only been separated for a few months, but it felt like they had been apart for a long time.
Su Luo squatted down and hugged Su Tiantian tightly.
"My sweet baby."
Su Luo picked up Su Tiantian and casually patted Su Yongli.
"Mom, put me down, I can walk by myself."
Su Tiantian felt sorry for Su Luo's hard work and didn't want her to hug her.
Su Luo smiled and shook her head: "Mom can carry me, it's not tiring at all."
Holding Su Tiantian felt like holding the whole world; she didn't feel tired at all.
Su Yongli raised her tail and followed lightly behind.
When they arrived at the door, they saw Liu Xiaohua waiting for them, and Su Luo was deeply moved: "Mom."
"Come inside and rest."
Liu Xiaohua came over and took Su Luo's backpack.
Su Luo entered the courtyard, put her things down, and then knelt down in front of Dai Ping'an: "Grandpa, I'm back."
Dai Ping'an looked at Su Luo with a kind expression, and smiled with pride and satisfaction.
"It's good that you're back. Now I'll test you again to see if you've been slacking off."
Dai Ping'an looked at Su Luo, and his eyes reddened as he looked at her.
Su Luo calmly felt Dai Ping'an's pulse, and Dai Ping'an smiled: "A'Luo, how is Grandpa's pulse now?"
Su Luo's eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion: "Weak and powerless, lacking stamina..."
It was already a sign that her time was running out; her grandfather was due to die in the next few days.
"Good job, you've made progress. Grandpa is happy for you. Changsheng will be back tomorrow. Once you're all here, I should start making some arrangements."
Dai Ping'an was very satisfied. He hadn't misjudged her. Su Luo's talent was just as high as his Xiao Yu's. He had no regrets about being able to teach Su Luo again in his lifetime.
When Dai Changsheng arrives, he will be giving his final instructions.
