Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around!

2619 A Rare Love

Ye Jian’s hands were shaking. If something happened to her grandfather because of her, what would she fight for in her life?

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m just sad, so I’m short of breath. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.” The old man felt his granddaughter’s panic and said kindly, “Alright, I’m fine. Don’t be afraid. I still have to live to 110 years old.”

The old man was 88 years old this year. There were 21 more years before he hit 110.

“Your father loves your mother very much. In the past 20 years, he only had two things in his heart. First, he wanted to find your mother. Second, he wanted to do the things that the country entrusted to him well. These two things are the fulcrums that he has been living for the past 20 years. Both of them are indispensable.”

!! “Now that you’re back but your mother is gone… Child, don’t be afraid that your father won’t be able to handle it. Now that you’re back, he has to bear with everything. He’s already sorry about your mother. He won’t do anything to wrong you.

“I know what you’re worried about. You’re afraid that your father will be sad after being overjoyed. Before he can catch his breath, he’ll be dead. Silly granddaughter, most people don’t have a good life. Nine out of ten things won’t work out. However, as long as one thing succeeds, it’ll be the pillar of support for a person’s life. It’ll be the motivation to survive.

“And your return is the motivation for me to take good care of my body. It’s also the motivation for your father to continue living. This world is very fair.

“Your father isn’t stupid. He’s smart. You didn’t mention your mother for a long time, so he must also have an answer in his heart. I also told your father today to not be too stubborn. He still has to look at the bigger picture. If we get stuck in the past, we’ll live the rest of our days in a daze.”

The old man had faced many unhappy things in his life. If he wasn’t an open-minded person, he wouldn’t have gotten to where he was today.

Do not force, do not demand, do not be harsh, and do not make things difficult… These were the old man’s principles.

With the old man’s consolation, Ye Jian felt much more at ease. Next, she would find an opportunity… to tell her father tonight.

“Thank you, Grandpa. I’ve caused you to worry about me.”

Ye Jian glanced at the desk slightly and saw more than ten pages of rough paper under a thick book. The corners that were revealed were filled with words. She knew that the old man must have been investigating and taking notes just now.

Nowadays, computers were not completely popularized in every household. Although there was a computer at home, Grandpa rarely used it. His favorite thing was to write notes.

More than ten pages of rough paper… Grandpa probably took hours to write it.

Ye Jian massaged the old man’s shoulders to ease his fatigue.

The old man, who was enjoying his granddaughter’s massage with his eyes closed, smiled. “Are you treating me like an outsider? Don’t worry. I don’t feel worried. On the contrary, I feel very happy.

“In the past, even if I wanted to worry over people, there was no one I could worry about. I have to think about your affairs. Only when I have concerns in my heart will I not feel that my life has been in vain.”

Ye Jian felt bitter when she heard this.

Grandpa had dedicated his entire life to the country, but in the end, he lived alone in a small bungalow. He didn’t even have any relatives around him. He lived alone.

“I’m afraid you’ll have more things to worry about in the future. When the time comes, I hope you won’t say that I’m annoying.” Ye Jian smiled as she helped the old man to loosen his shoulders. She used a light voice to suppress the bitterness in her heart. “In a few years, I’m really afraid that you’ll have many things to worry about.”
