Mr. Bai responded readily, "Yes."
The whole family gathered around the old man and got busy.
Mr. Bai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and his eyes felt a little sore. He couldn't help it, and wiped his eyes when they were not paying attention.
With such a family, his life is worth it! The old man sighed in his heart.
From that day on, Bai Yalan changed the water in Grandpa's cup with fresh spiritual spring water every day, hoping that it would be of some help to Grandpa's health.
From that day on, the old man received treatment every day.
The old man was right. Fortunately, his physical illness was discovered not too late. Moreover, as a military doctor, he had first-class psychological qualities. Therefore, the treatment process was relatively smooth.
Bai Yalan also felt that the old man's mental state seemed no different from that of a normal person in all aspects. If the examination report had not indeed proved that her grandfather had mid-stage liver cancer, she would have thought that there might be something wrong.
But the treatment had to continue. Bai Yalan was worried and kept an eye on her grandfather personally. Before she knew it, she had already received a week-long treatment.
On this day, Bai Yalan was just like usual. After finishing her work, she rushed to accompany her grandfather.
But unexpectedly, there seemed to be too many people visiting him today.
Although people have come to visit him from time to time every day since he started receiving treatment, even Captain Fu has come many times.
But this time, I suddenly saw four or five people coming to visit Grandpa, and some of them were military leaders with high ranks. They stood in front of Old Bai, and it seemed more like they were being scolded than visiting him to talk.
Mr. Bai's voice was deep, with a hint of anger in it. "Such a big deal, why didn't you tell me? Do you think I'm useless now that I'm old?"
Bai Yalan was a little surprised. It was the first time she saw her grandfather so angry. She couldn't help but step forward and stand behind everyone to see what was going on.
A middle-aged man who looked like an officer said helplessly, "Mr. Bai, you're not feeling well. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to ask you to do another mission."
"I'm just a little sick, I'm not going to die, there's nothing wrong with that."
The old man's temper flared up, and regardless of the occasion or the military officer, he continued to scowl, "The military situation is urgent. How can they just assign young people with little experience to such an important mission? Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong? This is also irresponsible of them."
The officer smiled bitterly upon hearing this. "Mr. Bai, we've thought about what you said, but there's nothing we can do. We've had a lot of urgent missions lately, and we really don't have anyone..."
"You can't do this without anyone else. It's just random talk." Old Master Bai said decisively, "It's settled. Let me accompany you on this mission."
"Mr. Bai, how can this be possible? I heard that you have only been receiving treatment for a week."
"Yes, Mr. Bai, we can't trouble you anymore. At worst, we can send a few more people to help each other."
Bai Yalan was also a little anxious. She knew her grandfather's temper very well. Once he made a decision, he would not change it easily.
Sure enough, Old Master Bai decisively said, "Don't say anything more. The military situation is urgent. This is it. I, an old man, will carry out this mission no matter what. No one can persuade me. Besides, I have an intern military doctor under my command, and I'm taking this opportunity to give him some training. Young people need to grow and train in actual combat, so that we old bones can retire to the second line with peace of mind."
Bai Yalan couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing what her grandfather said. It turned out that even at this time, the old man hadn't forgotten to cultivate her.
Seeing that they could not persuade him, the officers were helpless and exchanged glances with each other and made a decision.
"Come on, Mr. Bai. Since you insist, we won't say much. But there's one thing you must listen to. This time, you'll be accompanying us, but at most, stay in the rear to treat the wounded and try not to charge forward. We have the young people to lead the charge. As you said earlier, young people should be given opportunities to grow in actual combat!"
There was no way to refuse this, so Mr. Bai agreed immediately, "Tuo."
The officers whispered to each other and discussed for a while, "We must arrange for a few more people to protect Mr. Bai's safety. Since there is a trainee military doctor accompanying Mr. Bai, we should also make relevant arrangements. Mr. Bai must cooperate."
This time, the old man was also very straightforward, "Just make the arrangements as you see fit."
Perhaps because this mission was truly important and urgent, the officers all looked solemn. They shook hands with Mr. Bai one by one and said solemnly, "Mr. Bai, please don't think we're being too long-winded. You must take care of yourself. Your safety comes first."
Mr. Bai's expression also turned serious. He nodded calmly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After everyone had left, from a distance, Bai Yalan heard the officer who had been scolded by Grandpa for a long time curse, "Fuck him, who the hell brought this up to Old Bai! Find him and I'll send him to the training ground as a new recruit and train him until he's dead!"
Bai Yalan: "..."
