After the reclamation work came to an end, the old general was ready to officially unload the burden on his shoulders and hand it over to Xiangdong.

Xiangdong was naturally unwilling to take over.

The old general's eyes were as loud as copper bells: "I spent so much effort to cultivate you, just to let you take over. How come, after going out for a trip, you don't like my position anymore?"

Xiangdong shook his head: "General, what are you thinking?"

"So you just don't like the Hope Base? Do you think our base is too small and can't accommodate a big Buddha like you?" The old general squinted his eyes and glanced at Xiangdong.

"No, General..." Xiang Dong frowned and said, "General, you are still in good health, there is no need for me to take over now."

"It will be handed over to you sooner or later. It is better to take over now when the base is still small than to take over when the base is bigger. I am old and my physical strength and energy can't keep up. The affairs of the base should be handed over to you young people. I want to spare some time to find a wife for my useless son and try to have a grandson as soon as possible. It will also help Jianhua to get out of trouble as soon as possible..." The old general thought of his family affairs and sighed.

The old general's son also had a happy family before the end of the world. Although Yuan Jianhua has not been able to follow the old general's idea of ​​joining the army, he is also very successful in the business world. After all, with the identity of the old general, Yuan Jianhua can be said to have a big tree to lean on for shade. Many people find it difficult to handle things, but for Yuan Jianhua, it is a piece of cake. Although the old general never uses his identity to plan anything for Yuan Jianhua, there are many people in this world who want to make connections, so Yuan Jianhua's business road is smooth sailing. With

a successful career, the family is naturally happy. Yuan Jianhua originally had a beautiful wife and a pair of smart children, but unfortunately when the end of the world came, the three of them were all infected. When Yuan Jianhua saw his wife and children turned into zombies and pounced on him with their mouths wide open, he was stunned on the spot. Fortunately, when the end of the world came, the family of four returned to the military compound to visit the old general. The old general was used to life and death. Although he was reluctant, he still ordered the soldiers to kill his daughter-in-law and grandchildren who had turned into zombies. Otherwise, Yuan Jianhua would not be able to escape death.

Then, Yuan Jianhua collapsed. The relationship between the father and son also dropped to the freezing point.

The old general once thought that maybe he had killed too much in the first half of his life, so God punished him in this way. But he didn't have so much time to feel sad. The country notified him immediately to establish the H base in the shortest time, so he pulled his troops and worked day and night.

Fortunately, Yuan Jianhua managed to survive. After understanding everything about the end of the world, he also knew that the decision his father made at that time was the wisest. The relationship between the father and son gradually thawed. After the subsequent escape, the relationship between the father and son warmed up a little. However, Yuan Jianhua still couldn't get out of the shadow of losing his wife and children, which has always been the most painful thing for the old general.

Xiangdong naturally knew these things. He looked at the old general's gray hair and nodded heavily: "Okay, General, I promise you."

"That's right." The old general smiled, "By the way, when are you going to get married with Li Yatou?"

"This..." Xiangdong felt a little embarrassed.

"Why are you so shy, old man! Tell me what you think, so I can help you." The old general glared at Xiangdong unhappily. A man in his thirties was embarrassed when talking about his marriage. "Of

course I want to marry Xiaoxue as soon as possible, but her current status... I want to wait a little longer. It won't be too late to marry her when I have achieved something." Xiangdong actually wanted to get married earlier. Originally, he planned to wait until he returned to H Base from ZY Base, resumed his military service, and then married Li Xue in a grand manner. But who knew that plans could not keep up with changes. Li Xue became the base commander of Hope Base, and he had nothing now. How could he have the nerve to marry Li Xue now?

"That's true, but now is different from the time before the apocalypse. If you keep waiting, be careful that Miss Li will be kidnapped by someone else again. I tell you, when the first batch of grain seeds comes out, the name of our Hope Base will be known, and then bigger bases will surely extend olive branches to the Hope Base. Think about it, will those young talents in other bases ignore the talented and beautiful Miss Li? Not to mention that Miss Li has the Hope Base as her dowry." The old general leaned back in his chair and spoke slowly.

Xiangdong's face darkened, and he said stubbornly: "I have confidence in Xiaoxue. She is not the kind of woman who changes her mind. Besides, Xiaoxue can't regard Hope Base as her dowry. She has always kept public and private affairs separate."

"Li's character is of course beyond reproach, but there is a saying that goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. By the way, there is another saying, as long as you use the hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. You will slowly experience it yourself." After the old general finished speaking, he touched his beard, pretended not to see Xiangdong's dark face, and got up to go to the office building. He had to discuss with Li Xue about resigning.

The old general waved his sleeves and left without taking a cloud of light, leaving Xiangdong alone, sitting there with a dark face and not saying a word. He originally wanted to wait for some time before asking Li Xue about marriage, but now that the old general said so, he inexplicably felt a little flustered. He was not afraid that if he married Li Xue now, people would say he was a gigolo or something, but he thought that marrying Li Xue when he had nothing would be too unfair to Li Xue.

But if they didn't get married, what if someone was really blind and wanted to take advantage of her? Although he believed that Li Xue was not the kind of person who could be easily abducted, but what if... No, he couldn't think like that anymore. Xiangdong wiped his face. He thought he should find something to do first to distract himself from his thoughts that were being led astray by the old general.

The old general didn't care about Xiangdong's current entanglement. He rushed to the office building and found Li Xue who was reading a document. Without waiting for Li Xue to greet him, he poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, sighed with satisfaction, and said, "Girl, I have something to tell you."

Li Xue put down the documents in her hand, stood up and walked to the sofa next to the old general and sat down, and asked, "What is it?"

"It's about my intention to resign." The old general said straight to the point.

"Resign? How could the general have such an idea?" Li Xue was a little surprised.
