Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

To Principal Chen, the food in the cafeteria was enough. There was no need to serve him like an emperor. The food in the cafeteria was more fragrant and appetizing.

”Quitting drinking and spicy food is not a problem. Just don’t arrange any care workers for me. Getting the guards of the Third Class to guard me is already too troublesome. If you arrange for anything more exquisite, I’ll feel like I’m about to become a cripple.”

Principal Chen, who was drinking porridge, said earnestly, ”We’ve already caused a lot of trouble for the military unit. We can’t be meticulous about everything.

”Girl, you must remember not to make any requests. I’m just ill. If I don’t have a broken arm or leg, why would I need someone to take care of me? Don’t treat me like a cripple. I don’t like people who go all the way out to serve me.”

Ye Jian knew Principal Chen’s temper. He was like Grandpa Gen. If the military needed them, they would immediately head over.

But when they went back to their normal lives, they would insist on solving their own problems and would never trouble the army.

Uncle Chen was a strong-willed person who was once a world-class sniper. How could he accept a life where he was being taken care of.

It might be a good life for others, but for Uncle Chen, it meant he no longer had the ability to continue serving in the army.

This was something Uncle Chen could not accept.

Hearing this, Ye Jian smiled and said, ”I’ll remember what you said. I won’t ask for anything from the military unit. But if you’re going back to the military unit… Are you referring to your second military service?”

Otherwise, Uncle Chen would not have directly said that he would return to the army. Instead, he would say that he would visit the army occasionally.

Return to the army?

Xia Jinyuan placed the steamed bun on Ye Jian’s plate. He couldn’t help but look over. ”You can stay in the military unit. You’ll be happier there too.”

According to China’s Military Service Law, retired veterans could not return to the army in principle, but they could still return to the army if they were specially hired.

However, it was just a special appointment. It was like how universities hired old specialists for lectures.

”Yes. As a special recruit, I can’t be considered an official soldier. However, when I return to the military unit, there’ll be no one at home. If you want to go home…” Principal Chen hesitated. He was worried that when Ye Jian returned to the village in the future, the house would be too empty and cold.

”Uncle Chen, I think it’s quite a good arrangement. As my training increases in the future and the workload for my studies grows heavier, I won’t be returning to the village often. It’ll be even harder for me to return once I’m in the army. I think it’s good that you’re specially hired to return to the army.”

Ye Jian interrupted him anxiously. She knew what Principal Chen was thinking about. To put it bluntly, she didn’t have many feelings for Shuikou Village.

It was probably because she had been hurt too badly by the rumors in the village in her previous life and because she had little feelings for her family, so she could bear to leave the village where she grew up even after living two lives.

It would be great if Uncle Chen was specially hired to stay in the army in the future. She could go back to the army to look for Uncle Chen during the holidays. She could even train with the soldiers during the holidays.

Just thinking about this kind of life made Ye Jian smile.

”It seems like you really want me to return to the army. Alright, as long as you don’t have any objections, I’ll make a decision! I’ll stay at the sniper base in the Southern Province from now on. Shuikou Village… Girl, I’m afraid I won’t be going back anymore.”
