Uncle Gen gently patted the back of her hand and smiled kindly. "Your Uncle Chen brought me here. How can I be tired? You haven't come back to the village for two years. I was worried about you. "
"Now that I see you, I'm relieved. You've grown up. You're a big girl now. The army thinks highly of you."
No matter how far Ye Chien had gone, she was just a little girl growing up in Uncle Gen's heart.
"I've grown up. You're old too." Ye Chien's voice was a little choked. She helped the old man sit down on the wooden sofa and said softly, "I haven't come back to see you for two years. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Uncle Gen smiled and said, "In order to not let you come back, I've talked so much. Don't you think it's good now? You're valued by the army, and I'm also valued by the army in the village. What does it matter if you don't come back? "
"Little girl, we don't have much time in our lives. The longer we live, the fewer days we have to live. When it's time for you to learn new skills, you need to live every day seriously. If you come back to see me, it'll take you three days to go back and forth. I don't want you to waste three days just to see me. "
"You haven't come back to see me for two years, but now you've achieved something that makes me happy. My child, you've been using your own methods to prove to me that you've been working hard. You've lived up to my expectations. That's good. That's good. "
When people get old, they understand how precious time is. The eighty-year-old old man used his life's experience to educate the child he had watched grow up. He only hoped that she would grow up and live up to her time.
Ye Chien secretly wiped away the tears that she couldn't hold back. She tightly held the old man's withered hand that didn't have much vitality left. She pursed her lips and showed a stubborn expression. She smiled faintly and said, "I haven't come back to see you. I can only tell you with my own actions that I won't let you down. I won't let you down."
"Grandpa knows. Grandpa knows. You're a good child. You're grandpa's pride." Uncle Gen had lost a lot of weight in the past four years, but he was still in good spirits. Although he spoke slowly, his words were clear and firm. Judging from his condition, the old man's body was still in good condition.
When he saw Ye Chien wiping his tears, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Look at you, child. I didn't see you shed a single tear after fifteen days of intensive training. Why are you crying now?"
The old man had lived to this age, and had experienced the flames of war, so he was able to see through everything better than others. His witty yet insightful conversation soon made Ye Chien laugh heartily.
She should be the one making the old man happy. Why was the old man making her happy instead?
Knowing what the elderly liked to hear, Ye Chien picked the ones that he liked to hear. "Snakes should be hibernating, but I met two pythons that were coiled around a tree. Those Drought Magnolia locusts were as thick as a pinky finger, and they stuck to their bodies. When they felt the pain, heh! Good fellow, I'm full! "
"There are these in the mountains. It's much better than before. Back then, there were many tigers and wolves. When we crossed the mountains, we had to be tense. We didn't want to be eaten by the tigers before the battle even started."
When they talked about Ye Chien's training, the smile on Uncle Gen's face deepened. This child looked cold, but he was kind-hearted. He even knew to pick the ones that he liked to hear.
