"That's true."
"Look, they're here too. Let's go say hello. We'll be leaving soon."
"Isn't that right? It's already this late. Let's go, hurry up and go. I just saw Old Zhao."
"I saw it too."
I really didn't expect that they would invite every old guy they could from the logistics department. Couldn't they have come in batches?
In this way, even veterans with few official positions would probably feel apprehensive and fearful when they see them.
"Zhengze, what are all these old leaders doing here? It would be fine if just a few people came, but why are there so many?"
"Mom, I heard that one reason they want to go back and see where they fought, and the other, and most importantly, is that they want to see their old subordinates in person."
Although they receive reports on events from lower levels every year, they still won't feel at ease unless they see and hear it with their own eyes.
"Alright, since they're here, there's no way to send them back."
"Mom, don't worry! Nothing will happen. Didn't you see? These old officers are just wearing old military uniforms, nothing else."
"Yes? Mom, don't worry. These old leaders must know and understand the difference, otherwise they wouldn't be dressed so plainly."
"That's right! Alright, let's get these veteran leaders on the bus quickly."
"Okay!"
"Grandpa, it's time, we need to get on the bus."
"Old Shen, what's this?"
"Old Liu, this is my granddaughter. Isn't she beautiful? Come on, Ruohua, call me Grandpa Liu!"
"Hello, Grandpa Liu!"
"Alright. Old Shen, do you have a granddaughter who is..."
"Liu Mengzi, you dare to make a move on my granddaughter-in-law? Have you lost your mind?"
"Hey, you living devil, you're still alive?"
"You're still alive, so why should I go to see the King of Hell? Don't forget, I'm the living King of Hell."
"Alright, if you want to catch up, go to the car. Did you hear me? Hurry up, guys, or we'll be late."
"Okay, okay, I'm coming. Ruohua, go keep your grandma company, and have your brother come over to take care of grandpa. These are all old men here, you don't need to bother with them."
"Okay, Grandpa."
"No, King Yama, isn't Old Shen's granddaughter your granddaughter-in-law?"
"That's because my grandson acted quickly, otherwise he probably would never have been able to get married in his life."
"Wait a minute? I know that several of Old Shen's grandsons are married, and there are still a few who aren't, but his only granddaughter isn't married yet."
Besides, the Shen family only has one granddaughter; they certainly wouldn't marry her off so early!
"No, King Yama, after all this time, isn't this old Shen family's granddaughter still part of your family? How dare you say here that she's your granddaughter-in-law?"
"That's right. Since they're not married, others have a chance."
"Liu Da Nao, what do you mean?"
"Old Yan, what do you say? My Liu family also has some good kids. In that case, shall we compete fairly?"
"That's right, and my grandson is also quite nice. I'll let them get to know each other later."
"Me too. Old Shen, what do you think?"
"Oh, this? It's fine with me, I have no objection. But it's up to the children to decide their own affairs, and I'm not going to interfere anymore."
"That won't do. You only have one granddaughter. Are you willing to marry her off so early?"
"What if I really can't bear to part with it?"
If you ask me, what I say is...
"Go downstairs."
"Hey, Lao Yan, we have to be reasonable, you know that!"
"You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible. This child has been dating my grandson for several years. What do you mean by wanting to interfere now?"
"Greetings, esteemed leaders. Shen Zhengze is here to report for duty."
"Oh, it's Xiao Shen! Come here, he's really good. Let me tell you, this kid was once a student of our third son. Look at him now."
Even though he couldn't stay in the special forces unit due to injury, he still managed to get into a military academy for graduate studies through his own efforts. Now he's not only pursuing a doctorate but also mentoring students.
"Old Wang, why are you so agitated? Don't you see that Old Shen hasn't said anything?"
"That's right. Not only do I know about this kid, but I also saw him during the all-army competition. To be honest, he's really good."
Old Shen, this child, and the other children in your family, I'm afraid they weren't raised by your father!
Putting everything else aside, just look at his skills—you, Shen Bowen, don't have them."
"That's true. All the children in this family have inherited their mother's talents. As you all know, her maternal grandparents' family is capable, not only them, but also Shen Xi and his four siblings."
To be honest, the children's current abilities are largely thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Li.
"Sigh, now that I think about it, there are probably not many of us who came out of the battlefield alive. The fact that we can come here today is just because we are still in good health. Others would not be able to get out even if they wanted to."
"Isn't that right? Back then, it was Doctor Liu who saved my life. By the way, Zhengze, how many siblings do you have?"
"Four. The girl who just went down is my youngest sister. She has two younger brothers, Junde and Hongyu, who are also in the army now."
"You mean Shen Junde and Shen Hongyu?"
"Do you know him, sir?"
"I don't know them, but I've seen reports about them in the military newspaper. And let me tell you, Lao Shen, you've not only got a good family line, but all the boys and girls in your family are working in military-related fields. You're really capable!"
"To be honest with you guys, this really has nothing to do with me; they chose the right path themselves."
"Now I understand why Xiao Li put his assets in some family trust fund. It's because he has no successor!"
If you don't put it somewhere, you'll lose everything within three generations.
"That's true. But I heard that Old Shen has great-grandchildren. Would he really be worried about that?"
"Yes? Old Shen! What are you thinking?"
"Hey, this is a decision made by the child herself, so she probably has her own reasons. We're all so old, why should we interfere so much?"
Besides, she has always been doing it for the children's good.
Another crucial point is that whatever our descendants do in the future, they will have to rely on themselves. We can't help them much. Therefore, whatever they do in the future is entirely up to them.
As long as you don't do anything illegal or disorderly, everything is negotiable.
"I thought you would object?"
"How could that be? Maybe we didn't understand at first, but after reading foreign reports and related information, we can see that there are things we can learn from them."
