Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Uncle Fu turned around and walked toward the door. When he opened the door, he saw a couple standing under the warm red light of the red lantern. Uncle Fu was stunned with joy.

”Happy New Year, Uncle Fu.”

Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan smiled and spoke at the same time. Uncle Fu had taken care of the old man for more than 20 years and was already Ye Jian’s elder. He was worthy of being addressed respectfully by the two of them.

The two of them spoke in unison. Uncle Fu, who was overjoyed, came back to his senses and said excitedly, ”Happy New Year, Happy New Year. The two of you look even better.” Then, he raised his voice and turned his head to shout into the house, ”Old Chief, Yusheng, our little princess is back. Our little princess is back.”

’Our… little princess is back.’ Ye Jian, who was about to step into the house, almost twisted her ankle.

Princess?

Lieutenant Colonel Xia, who was quick to react, held his frightened girlfriend and smiled softly. ”She’s indeed a princess. She’s also the little princess in my heart.”

Uncle Fu was so excited that he couldn’t speak properly. He was so happy that his eyes were crescents. ”Isn’t she our little princess? The old chief said it himself. It can’t be wrong.”

Uncle Fu, who served the old man, felt that everything the old man said was right. He followed whatever he did.

The two of them, who were still playing chess in the chess room, suddenly heard Uncle Fu’s voice. The old man threw the chess piece between his fingers onto the chessboard, causing another chess piece to fall. ”What did he say just now? What did Little Fu say just now? Is our little princess back?”

As people got older, their reactions would always be a little slow. Mr. Fu’s reaction was much faster. He placed the chess piece he was playing in the chess box and immediately got off the tatami mat. He replied to the old man, ”Our little princess is back…”

”Ah, she’s really back. I thought I heard wrongly! Quick, let’s go out!” When the old man heard this, he stood up a little too abruptly. Mr. Fu, who had just put on his shoes, leaned over to support the old man who was swaying. ”Slow down.

She’s already back. Are you afraid that she’ll run away?”

”I’m not afraid that she’ll run away. The military school had a holiday, but I didn’t get to see her in the end. You said that our little princess is on duty but I can still call her when she’s on duty, right? But she doesn’t even have a phone! Investigate who the teacher is. I need to get her phone number!

”She’s on duty in the military unit. On New Year’s Eve, she should be allowed to call her family. Why are we not allowed to do so? Do they think that our little princess is shy and easy to bully?

”Hmph! You must find out which teacher is responsible for this. I’ll only be satisfied if I can’t reach her through a call in the future!”

The wise old man was a little unreasonable when it came to his granddaughter. Mr. Fu, who was supporting him, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

”Dad, I haven’t been home for the new year for three to four years and didn’t call home during that period. I’ve never heard you complain like this. You’re even blaming the leader for being unreasonable. Why are you acting like a child when it comes to Jian? You’re a little unreasonable.”

The old man, who had put on his shoes, snorted when he heard that. ”Of course, you’re different from our little princess. A good man should have ambitions. How can I restrain you?”

However, he once said that since Jian was wearing the military uniform, she had to bear the responsibility of a soldier. She had to follow the arrangements. She shouldn’t expect special treatment.

Even so, Mr. Fu didn’t argue further. If the old man wanted to protect Ye Jian, he would. The old man was unreasonable for a while, but when he saw Jian, he became a wise old man again.

Ye Jian already knew that the old man and Mr. Fu were playing chess in the chess room. She hurriedly changed her shoes and ran toward the chess room.
