Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

After turning a corner, Ye Jian saw two old men walking slowly with their arms around each other.

At the feet of the two elders, a pair of puppies were happily wagging their tails. They took small steps and sometimes chased after the two elders. Sometimes, they ran in front happily before returning to the two elders’ feet with a whimper. They shook their heads and wagged their tails as if they were teasing the two elders.

Xia Jinyuan didn’t know the two elders. Li Jinnian introduced, ”That’s Elder Tang and his wife, Professor Su. Elder Tang is among the first generation of core scientists in computer research in our country, and Professor Su is a senior engineer who completed the magnetic heart memory. The two elders were focused on the development of our country’s computers and don’t have any children.

”It’s not just Elder Tang and Professor Su. Almost none of the scientists and senior engineers who stay here have children. They silently dedicated their lives to the development of our country’s science.”

Ye Jian, who had never heard of it before, forgot where she was going. She was so shocked that she didn’t know what to say.

The car passed by the two elders. Ye Jian turned her head and looked at the two hunched but exceptionally tall figures with respect.

Xia Jinyuan, who retracted his gaze, talked about the past in a deep voice. This was a past about ’poor people having no respect and poor countries having no status’.

”At that time, our country didn’t have the ability to make its own weapons. Even the weapons used by the troops came from abroad. It was under such circumstances that our older generation of scientists competed and worked hard to realize our country’s dream of establishing a strong and powerful army. When our scientists went abroad to learn, they were always the most serious and humble.

”In the 50s, the great powers that were supposed to help our country suddenly left, leaving behind a pile of burning blueprints. In order to save the blueprints from the fire, our old scientists didn’t dare use water to extinguish the flames. Instead, they reached into the fire to snatch the blueprints back and pieced them together bit by bit.

They knelt on the ground and carefully pieced them together.

”They weren’t kneeling for the blueprint but to pick up the country’s dignity. From passive to autonomous, from reliance to confidence, the reason why great countries can rise is that there are many scientists like Old Master Fu.

”They silently contribute to the rise of a great country. They sacrifice their lives for the rise of a great country. They’re willing to give up everything for the rise of a great country. They only want to see a great country rise.

”Ye Jian, do you still think that you have the courage to take the next step?”

Ignoring the tears in her eyes, Ye Jian shook her head. She was no longer fearful or nervous. Compared to what the old scientist had suffered, what hurdle could she not overcome?

”Demon King, I really can’t be sure if your uncle is my father right now. I won’t be able to call the old man ’Grandpa’ later, but I’ll cooperate and see if I’m the old man’s granddaughter.”

The car had just slowly entered a flat asphalt road that extended from the main road when Ye Jian’s sudden words made Li Jinnian, who was caught off guard, step on the brakes.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly braked. The two people in the back shot forward in unison. If not for the fact that the two of them were agile enough to hold on, their faces would have hit the back of the driver’s seat.

”Demon King, drive properly.” Xia Jinyuan held Ye Jian’s hand tightly and sat down. He teased, ”I’m injured. You can’t deliberately play dirty just because I’m Ye Jian’s boyfriend now.”
