"Hug your grandchildren but not your children. That's the rule of our ancestors." Commander-in-Chief Xia's smile got deeper. It was obvious that he really liked this topic. He was already 59 years old, an age where he would have a grandchild.
The atmosphere in the car was very good. Occasionally, the guard would smile and say sothing. This allowed Ye Jian to see the amiable side of Commander-in-Chief Xia in his daily life.
Xia Jinyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her relaxed and happy smile.
It was good that she was happy. He was afraid that she would keep to herself and hurt herself.
"We will send Uncle Chen back to Shuikou Village tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we will go back to Anyang City to report to school. How about that?" Xia Jinyuan asked Ye Jian while laughing. "Uncle Chen wants to go back to Shuikou Village to stay. With the military unit around, he won't be lonely."
After Uncle Gen retired from the army, he would visit the military unit deep in the mountains regularly. He lived a fulfilling life. Principal Chen hoped that he could live like this too.
Ye Jian nodded lightly. "Uncle Chen told before that he wants to retire in Shuikou Village. My house is close to the military unit. Uncle Chen can go to the military unit anyti he wants. He can also guide the soldiers and have soone to rely on."
Like Grandpa Gen, Uncle Chen had no children to accompany him. As for Ye Jian, she would stay outside for many years and only co back once every year… There was no way she could repay them for raising her. Ye Jian couldn't help but purse her lips.
Commander-in-Chief Xia sighed when he saw this. "All of you have grown up. We are happy to see all of you flying. Little Ye, don't worry about Old Chen's life. He will live well."
He could tell that Ye Jian was worried.
"Uncle Chen is not an ordinary person. He was able to groom you single-handedly. How can the military unit bear to let him go? Little Ye, study hard and improve your skills. If you can produce good results, it will be the greatest consolation to Old Chen."
Xia Jinyuan said, "A long journey is not a farewell. It's to repay the two elders for grooming you. Ye Jian, Uncle Chen and Uncle Gen want you to go further and fly higher. Do you understand?"
Although his little fox was strong, they couldn't understand the blow she suffered when her family left.
In the face of Commander-in-Chief Xia's guidance and Xia Jinyuan's concern, Ye Jian smiled faintly again. "Yes, I know. I can't accompany my elders normally. As long as I have the ti, I will definitely co back to visit Uncle Chen."
"That's right. You and Xia Jinyuan can accompany Old Chen at the reception later. I can't stay here any longer." Commander-in-Chief Xia looked at the ti. His flight was at 10.30 pm. He still had ti to chat with the young people.
The amiable smile on his face disappeared. He looked at the young lady whom the military had high hopes for and said in a deep voice, "Ye Jian, you can only move forward. You can't move backward. If you take a step back, you will need to take a hundred steps in the future. Ti will not wait for you. Those who surpass you will not wait for you either.
If you don't want to chase other people, you can only move forward continuously."
"This is my hope for you and Xia Jinyuan. It's also my hope for you. I hope that you can change your mindset as soon as possible and devote yourself to your new life so that you can start your new journey."
This was the advice from the commander-in-chief of the army. It was also the concern of an elder towards a junior.
Ye Jian would never be lonely in this lifeti!
