"Brother Gao, is your waiter really going with me? Then we can be companions, right?" Cen Zixiang asked Gao Yuan.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Brother Gao has a good relationship with his eldest brother. In fact, Brother Gao is several years younger than his eldest brother. The second brother of the Gao family is the same age as himself. Although the two of them don’t get along on the surface, they are good friends in secret.
There is no way. The relationship between the two families cannot be too close, otherwise I don’t know how many people will be worried.
Gao Yuan nodded: "Xiao Er is not suitable to come here. When you go over, you two can help each other. If there is anything, we can discuss it. An old friend of my grandfather lives there. You can go visit him when the time comes."
"With local people taking care of you, you'll feel safer there."
Our waiter should have joined the army directly if it weren’t for this mission.
But it’s okay. It’s not suitable for Xiao Er to join the army directly now. He should go down and gain some experience first. If he completes the task well, it will be a good stepping stone for him to join the army in the future.
Cen Zixiang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Brother Gao, I will take good care of Xiaoer."
Gao Yuan wanted to laugh. This kid was too lively and not as steady as his own waiter. Who knows who will take care of whom in the time. However, he would not interfere in the affairs of these brothers.
The two of them didn't sit for long. They were almost done talking about things and were about to go back. They didn't know how many eyes were staring at their two families now.
Gao Yuan went straight back home. His grandfather lived not far from the Cen family, and he hadn't been back to see his grandfather for some time.
Grandpa Gao was very happy to see his eldest grandson coming in. This kid seemed to have been lost since he joined the army. He only came back a few times a year.
"Why do you want to come back to see me, an old man?"
Old Gao was so happy in his heart, but he pretended not to care on his face and said something sarcastic.
"Grandpa, did Xiao Er tell you about that?" Gao Yuan was used to his grandfather talking like this, but he knew that his grandfather was also happy.
"I told you, I just wrote a letter to Old Chen and asked Xiao Er to take it over. With your Grandpa Chen over there, I don't worry about Xiao Er."
"Oh, right, I need to prepare some more things and have the waiter take them to Old Chen. Your Grandpa Chen mailed me a ginseng that's quite old, and the old man is afraid he'll owe me something."
As he said this, the smile in his eyes was about to overflow. It was obvious how happy Mr. Gao was to be able to get in touch with his few old friends.
"Didn't you say that Old Chen adopted one of his eldest brother's granddaughters? Then ask your mother to buy some more things for the little girl and bring them over. How about that child?"
"By the way, there is another kid. I heard he is also the child of a martyr. Now this old guy has grandchildren," he said more when talking about his old friend Old Man Gao.
My old friend has never had a wife or children in his life. If the adopted child doesn’t work out, what will he do when he gets old?
He was worried. He and Lao Chen were close friends, and although he said so, he was actually worried about his old friend in his heart.
This old guy hasn't contacted him for so many years, isn't it because he's afraid of causing him trouble? They still need to care about these things. This time they can get in touch, and they can write letters and talk often in the future. Old man Gao is happy from the bottom of his heart.
Thinking of Chen Ye, Gao Yuan smiled: "She is a very interesting girl. She is very mature despite her young age, but..."
Gao Yuan told his grandfather his guess. He had never told these words to anyone else. Even when Shanmao asked him several times, he just evaded the question. The fewer people who knew about this, the better.
At that time, they will have to tell their waiter that they should not tell this matter to others. If that kid Cen Zixiang can see it himself, it will have nothing to do with them.
Mr. Gao's eyes widened as he listened: "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's pretty close. They look so similar. It's also because the girl lives in a small mountain village. Otherwise, one would be suspicious at first glance."
"Does Lao Cen know about this?"
Gao Yuan shook his head: "He probably doesn't know. Otherwise, with Grandpa Cen's personality, how could he not take any action at all?"
"You did the right thing. Now is not the time to say this. You brats can do whatever you want, but the little girl needs to be well protected. You have to take better care of the little girl in the future."
"Don't worry, the little girl loves reading. I've been looking for books for her a lot. Besides, Grandpa Chen is here. Are you still worried?"
"That old guy probably knows about this, but he just hid it from me." Old Gao muttered a little unhappy. Who is this person who can't be trusted?
Gao Yuan looked at his grandfather: "Grandpa, don't think too much. I feel like Grandpa Chen doesn't know anything either."
"Really? Then tell me...does Mr. Cen know about this?"
Gao Yuan paused. He really didn't know this, but if Uncle Cen knew about this, he shouldn't have taken any action.
"Grandpa, do you want to talk to Uncle Cen about this?"
Old Gao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait until Xiao Er and the others have passed by before we discuss this. I don't know if there are other issues here, so it's not appropriate to make a big fuss about it now."
As the topic changed, Gao Yuan's expression became more serious: "Grandpa, I plan to be transferred to Heilongjiang Province. What do you think?"
The smile on Old Gao's face faded, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura, which was the unique aura of a veteran who had gone through mountains of swords and seas of fire, like a sword drawn from its sheath that could hurt anyone who touched it.
After a long time or perhaps just a moment, Old Gao sighed tiredly, and his whole body was instantly filled with the helplessness of a hero in his twilight years.
The current situation is tense, and letting the child go is the best decision. There is nothing he can do to stop him.
He just didn't understand. After going through such a difficult time and finally having the good days that came, why didn't those people know how to cherish them?
It seems that he also needs to learn from Lao Cen. Taking a step back at the right time may not be a retreat, but waiting for dawn and looking forward to a better future.
"That's good, it's a good opportunity for your parents to get some exercise. How can they gain experience if they always stay in the capital?"
"Make arrangements with Xiao Er, and try to contact Xiao Er as little as possible in the future."
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I know what to do. My brother is going to the countryside, and if I, as his elder brother, don't care about him at all, it will arouse suspicion."
"You're right, I'm obsessed. Tell me more about that girl."
Gao Yuan had been in contact with Chen Ye for a few days and had a very good impression of her: "How should I put it? I should say that she is a girl who looks honest on the surface, but she is very thoughtful on the inside."
"Oh! Tell me in detail."
The old man and the young man talked like this, and the old man laughed from time to time, looking like he was living a peaceful life.
