If his team members said that to him, Wu Minghui would definitely kick them.
But he dared not act rashly when his old superior was cricketing in front of him.
However, the awkwardness mixed with the frustration of wanting to defend himself on his face looked quite peculiar.
You think I'm insulting you? I'm praising you!
"If it weren't for your training methods, where would the entire army find so many outstanding special forces members?"
Cheng Xinghan glanced at him and laughed, scolding, "Look at you, you pathetic sight!"
"Hehehe..."
It's clear that Wu Minghui felt better being scolded.
"Xiao Lin, don't just stand there, sit down quickly."
Cheng Xinghan said with a smile, "Try my cooking later."
"Grandpa Cheng, you can cook?"
Lin Fan said in surprise.
"Of course... I'm from the countryside too, how could I not know how to cook?"
"In our time, besides cooking, we also had to gather pig feed, herd cattle, and farm."
Cheng Xinghan suddenly lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, one of the reasons I joined the army was because I found the farm work at home too tiring."
Once I'm in the army, at least I won't go hungry.
"I understand."
Lin Fan nodded.
Cheng Xinghan didn't make empty promises or say things like it was for the sake of protecting the country.
Back then, for poor children, joining the army could solve their food and clothing problems.
It was determined by the prevailing circumstances at the time!
"You talk to Xiao Wu, I still have fish cooking in the pot."
After saying that, Cheng Xinghan went back into the kitchen.
"Brother Lin, please have a seat!"
Compared to before, Wu Minghui's attitude was noticeably better.
Lin Fan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on a rather old sofa.
Upon seeing where he was sitting, a strange look flashed across Wu Minghui's eyes.
This is because this spot is usually Cheng Xinghan's exclusive spot.
"Brother Wu, what's wrong?"
Lin Fan asked, puzzled.
"Oh, it's nothing."
Wu Minghui quickly changed the subject, asking, "How did you notice a car following us?"
"Perhaps it's because I'm a rather sensitive person."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Of course, the main reason is that there are hardly any people on that road, and you weren't driving fast either."
The two cars neither overtook nor lost traffic and maintained a constant distance, so they were easy to spot.
"Your observation skills are quite sharp!"
Wu Minghui nodded, indicating his appreciation for his observation skills.
The two chatted briefly for a few more minutes, with the conversation revolving around Cheng Ruonan.
Lin Fan realized that Wu Minghui genuinely cared about her, and his tone was full of concern for her future.
"Actually, Ruonan has always been a very strong-willed person, so she is very demanding of herself."
"Back then, she couldn't get over her master's sacrifice, so she left without saying goodbye."
“Over the years, everyone has been very worried about her.”
Wu Minghui sighed and said, "Knowing that she is doing well, we are relieved."
"Dr. Cheng has excellent professional skills and will definitely be able to support himself."
“I can understand Grandpa Cheng’s concerns. After all, every elder wants the younger generation to live well.”
"But children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
"If we don't completely let go, who knows how vast the sky is for a fledgling eagle to soar in?"
Lin Fan said from the side.
"I'm a rough man, I don't understand any profound principles."
Wu Minghui nodded in agreement, "But I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
"Dinner's ready!"
Cheng Xinghan's voice came from the restaurant.
Lin Fan and his companion immediately got up and went to the restaurant.
Grandpa Cheng showed off his true skills for Lin Fan's sake.
Braised crucian carp, stewed beef, home-style tofu, cold tomato salad, and braised pig's ears.
"Old Chief, it's been so many years since I've tasted your cooking."
Wu Minghui swallowed hard when he saw the dishes.
"Speaking of which, I still remember the embarrassing things you did."
"Back when the Wolf Fang was first formed, you made a mistake that wasn't too big or too small, so I punished you by making you stand at attention at home."
“At that time, I was eating right in front of you, and I wouldn’t let you eat.”
"After dinner, I pretended to go out for a while and deliberately hid in a corner to peek."
"You're quite the prude, you finished the whole plate of braised pork knuckle!"
Cheng Xinghan laughed heartily.
"Commander, didn't you later punish me by making me work as a cook for a month?"
Wu Minghui scratched his head and said, "Back then, I would often steal braised beef and pork for you after get off work."
Why didn't you mention that?
"Hahaha……"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's eat and chat, have a seat!"
Cheng Xinghan gestured for the two to sit down.
Lin Fan and Wu Minghui sat down on either side of Cheng Xinghan.
"Shall we have something to drink tonight?"
Cheng Xinghan asked with a smile.
"Old commander, your health..."
Wu Minghui was a little worried.
"It's alright, with Dr. Kobayashi here, nothing will happen."
Cheng Xinghan waved his hand dismissively.
"Mr. Cheng, you can have a little drink, but don't overindulge."
Lin Fan quickly added.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, I'll have a little drink."
Cheng Xinghan got up and started rummaging through the cabinets in the dining room.
Soon, he came over carrying a large porcelain bottle.
