The train was scheduled to depart in about ten minutes. Gao Dan was not sleepy at all. He sat on the edge of the bed, watching the scenery flashing past outside the window.
Deep down, I was incredibly worried.
This time, the elite master really got himself into big trouble unintentionally. Who knows what will happen next?
I wasn't sure whether I should tell the old man or not.
The old man, Chief Xi, and that Chief Hu were all comrades-in-arms back then.
What would you think if you heard this news?
Everyone knows the old man's character: upright and loyal!
Once you learn that such ugly and sordid things have happened among your comrades, it will be heartbreaking. What if things get out of hand and something goes wrong?
The old man's health was already poor; the doctor had clearly stated that with proper care, he only had a few years left. If he didn't, then it was uncertain, and he could die at any time...
There's also the safety of his family. Although his wife is quite capable in combat, how could a man be willing to put his wife in danger?
One heart truly yearns to return home!
I couldn't wait to get off the train.
.........
On the other side...
The boy in the small mountain village misses his naughty dad even more!
"Great-Grandpa, Grandma said tomorrow is New Year's Eve, but why isn't Dad back yet?"
The old man held his great-grandson, gently patting the child's back to comfort him.
"It's not tomorrow yet, is it?"
The little boy nodded: "That's true. It's not tomorrow yet. Besides, Dad will have to take the train back, and the train journey takes a long time."
"Yes, yes, so we can just wait at home."
"Mmm, mmm, mmm, waiting for Daddy to come back."
How can this child be so well-behaved?
That's so incredibly painful!
Grandpa Ye, sitting on the other side, had been filled with envy and jealousy countless times.
Although they are related by blood, it is clear that the granddaughter has no intention of acknowledging him!
There's been no word from my son either.
This forced Grandpa Ye to hold back, even though he wanted to express his opinion, for fear of frightening his granddaughter and great-grandson.
And so, all we could do was watch helplessly as Old Man Gu interacted with his great-grandson.
The acid is about to burst out.
Grandpa Gu noticed his old friend's sour face and chuckled to himself. After a while, he patted the little guy on the shoulder.
"Alright, go play now. Great-Grandpa needs to talk to Great-Grandpa Ye about something."
The little boy nodded obediently, "Okay!" Then, with his hands behind his back, he went into the house to find Ye Wanying.
As for the two old men outside...
"Alright, I know you're envious. Don't worry, it will be possible soon."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Ye was very suspicious: "Old Gu, what do you mean by that?"
"Seven, seven, seven, what does that mean? Just the literal meaning. If you don't understand, forget it!"
However, with their appetites only half-fulfilled, how could they easily give up?
"No, explain yourself clearly."
The persistent old man had no choice but to say, "Fine, speak."
"you say."
"Hey old man Ye, haven't you ever noticed that Yingying gets along much better with Yutang than with you, although she's still not as close as she is with her brother?"
What does this prove?
Grandpa Gu rolled his eyes: "Are you stupid? Of course I'm against you!"
Pfft, old man, old man, why are you speaking such blunt truths?
As expected, Old Master Ye strongly disagreed: "Why are you so resistant to me? I haven't done anything wrong!"
