Back at the hospital, they picked up Jin Aiguo.
Looking at the old man with a hint of helplessness, Ye Beiping asked, "Grandpa Jin, where do we go next?"
"Oh, you're calling me grandpa now? Hahaha, that's interesting." Jin Aiguo joked.
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping rolled his eyes.
Given the age difference, calling him "Grandpa" isn't unreasonable, is it?
What's so funny?
Upon seeing this, Zhang Lei reported to Jin Aiguo what had happened when the two of them went to Pingba Village.
"The hearts of parents are always full of love and worry," Jin Aiguo sighed, then suddenly said, "Let's go back to the barracks."
"What?" Ye Beiping screamed instantly.
Jin Aiguo frowned slightly and said, "Ye Beiping, what's wrong with you? Are you scared? If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear."
"No, Grandpa Jin, let's talk this out, okay? I treat you like my grandfather, and you're sending me to the army? Do I look like soldier material? Besides, I honored my bet and agreed to spend three days with you, but I didn't say I was going to join the army."
Ye Beiping became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, muttering, "I still have to pursue the person I like. The educated youth are about to return to the city, and these three days are so precious."
"Oh?" Jin Aiguo raised an eyebrow and said, "You're not married yet? And you've fallen for a female educated youth?"
Hearing this teasing remark, Ye Beiping sneered, "Hmph, what's wrong with liking female educated youth? Who says farmers can't like female educated youth?"
"Ha ha."
Jin Aiguo smiled, gave a thumbs up and said, "That's ambitious. Female educated youth are great; they're knowledgeable and have great temperament."
"Of course." Ye Beiping was never stingy with praise for Su Xinyi.
However, the next sentence made Ye Beiping's face turn black.
"And another thing, you're not a farmer either. What farmer doesn't work in the fields?" Jin Aiguo continued to tease.
"I..." Ye Beiping stammered for a long time before finally finding a reason: "I did the work, but I just helped her with the work."
"Hahaha."
Jin Aiguo smiled even more broadly, his eyes darting around as he said, "Ye Beiping, how about this? You take me to see that female educated youth, and I won't take you to the military camp."
"Really?" Ye Beiping's eyes lit up.
So what if I look? It's not like I'm going to lose a piece of flesh.
And... and most importantly, Su Xinyi is so beautiful, it's not like she's not presentable.
Jin Aiguo burst into another hearty laugh: "You've already made a bet and lost, so of course I'll keep my word."
"Commander," Zhang Lei suddenly called out, pursing his lips, "We were supposed to inspect the military region today, everything's already prepared there..."
Zhang Lei was truly speechless about his superior.
Even though he's retired, right?
But one minute you have one idea, the next you have another.
The military region has mentioned several times that they want the leaders to come and inspect the area, but now they've changed their minds again.
"Shut up!" Jin Aiguo snapped. "Who's the commander, you or me?"
Ye Beiping realized that the old man had official business to attend to at the military region.
"Grandpa Jin, if you want me to take you to see the female educated youth, that's fine, but we have to finish our official business first, right? We can go after we finish our business. I won't keep you waiting. I'll wait for you in the car. You can't run away anyway."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei gave Ye Beiping a grateful look.
Unexpectedly, Jin Aiguo was unhappy and pouted, saying, "What business is this? It's all just kidding stuff. I won't go then."
"Grandpa Jin, then I won't play with you anymore. I have a lot of fun ideas, but if you don't come, I won't bring them out. Go ahead and shoot me if you dare." Ye Beiping had figured out the old man's ways; he just loved to play.
These kinds of elderly people are relatively easy to handle.
Sure enough, Jin Aiguo stroked his beard, then suddenly looked up at Zhang Lei and said irritably, "It's all your fault, you brat. Go, go, go now, don't delay my game."
"Okay."
Zhang Lei was delighted to receive the order and pressed the accelerator of the jeep a little harder.
More than an hour later, the jeep finally arrived at the military region.
Jin Aiguo frowned, glanced at his feet, and snorted coldly, "You didn't want to come to the military region, so you sneaked out. Now that your feet are injured, you still can't escape to the military region."
"I've lived in this military region my whole life, and I don't know what's so interesting about it."
Looking at Jin Aiguo, who was like a playful old man, Ye Beiping couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Grandpa Jin, I'm waiting for you in the car. Don't worry, I won't run away."
The military region has its own rules, and it certainly doesn't allow people to enter without permission; Ye Beiping understood this.
Jin Aiguo, sitting in his wheelchair, was somewhat displeased: "Aren't you coming in with me?"
"I won't go in. I'm afraid you'll pin me down inside. I'm scared." Ye Beiping deliberately made a scared expression.
"snort."
Jin Aiguo snorted coldly, then smiled and said, "You brat."
As Zhang Lei pushed Jin Aiguo into the military region, a row of people quickly stood there to greet them.
As Jin Aiguo passed by, a row of men in green military uniforms raised their right hands in salute: "Welcome, Commander, to inspect our territory."
Ye Beiping could only say that he had seen this scene on television.
Jin Aiguo waited in the car for more than an hour before Zhang Lei slowly pushed him out.
However, the old man seemed a little unhappy.
After getting into the car, Ye Beiping looked at Zhang Lei and asked, "What's wrong with Grandpa Jin?"
"Shh." Zhang Lei made a shushing gesture and whispered, "The commander is not satisfied with their military region's training, so he got angry."
"waste."
