2626 All-Rounded Strategy
Commander Xia’s reminder enlightened Lieutenant Colonel Xia. He immediately understood what he should do.
“Old man, I really admire you this time. You even thought of coming to the airport. I have to say that the older you become, the wiser you are. You even thought of this. Impressive, impressive.”
Even though he was really impressed, he couldn’t help feeling guilty.
Commander-in-Chief Xia only scoffed at Lieutenant Colonel Xia’s admiration. His contempt was obvious.
!!
As for his son’s cultivation… Although he was good, he was still lacking in front of his father.
“Sit down and keep an eye on the outside. When we see Little Ye and her father coming over, we’ll follow them. Remember, it’s a coincidence. Don’t expose yourself! You can’t even let Little Ye notice anything. Do you understand?”
Commander Xia was worried about everything. If his future daughter-in-law knew that he came up with these ideas as her father-in-law, his image would be ruined!
Very soon, Lieutenant Colonel Xia understood what Commander Xia meant. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and laughed softly. Then, he said, “Don’t worry. This time, I’ll make sure that you, as a father-in-law, won’t lose face.”
“Brat, think about your own affairs!”
Commander Xia felt angry and amused when Xia Jinyuan exposed what he was most worried about. He raised his hand and slapped Xia Jinyuan’s shoulder. Fortunately, they were at the airport. If they were at home, he would have kicked him.
Commander-in-Chief Xia was wearing a thin jacket that covered the short sleeves of his summer casual military uniform. At the same time, it covered his military rank that was s.h.i.+mmering with golden light. When he spoke to Xia Jinyuan, he didn’t put on any airs. It was just like how a pair of father and son would normally interact. It looked like they were targeting each other, but other people could tell that their relations.h.i.+p was quite good.
Madam Li nudged Madam Xiao lightly and sighed. “Alright, Shuman, what’s there to see? Won’t you be sad for nothing? You’re sad, but the two of them are happy. Aren’t you making things difficult for yourself?
“Let’s go. Don’t look at them anymore. If you continue looking, you’ll cry again.”
She was already in her 50s. Why was she still crying so often?
Madam Li did not say this out loud.
Her good friend had always been like this. In the past, she was lucky and had someone to coax her. Now that she was old and had no one to rely on, what was the use of crying? Could it be that she was hoping that another man would coax her?
Well, she should wake up! She was already in her 50s. Her skin was wrinkled and old. It was time for her to accept her fate.
Hence, young people shouldn’t act recklessly just because they were young. They should bear with it when they were young and suffer more. It’d be beneficial to them.
If one didn’t train oneself when young, one would have to train when one was already old. That wouldn’t be training then. That would be torture.
Her good friend was a cla.s.sic example of it. She threw a tantrum when she was young, so she started to suffer when she was old.
Madam Xiao didn’t move. She looked at her son greedily and spoke to Madam Li softly, “I haven’t seen him for a long time. Chenglan, do you think he has gotten tanner? He seems to have gotten thinner too. It looks like he’s suffered a lot in the military unit and gotten thinner.”
“It’s useless even if you feel sorry for him. You can’t persuade him to retire, right?”
Madam Li glanced at the young man who was speaking. The relations.h.i.+p between the pair of father and son was really good. Old Du said that Old Xia was dissatisfied with his son, but she couldn’t tell what he was dissatisfied about.
