Su Dashan looked down at his injured leg and nodded slowly. “”Yes, I am. I was injured on a mission and didn’t want to drag the army down, so I retired.”
“Didn’t the army arrange any work for you?” Jin Ling asked.
“When I retired from the army, my legs were already disabled and I couldn’t do any physical work. My family was poor before I joined the army. I didn’t study for a few days, and I couldn’t do any work that required a little culture. Coincidentally, Second Brother’s family is also in trouble, so I went home to help.” After that, he had been helping until now.
“People like you are really rare nowadays.” “Actually, you could have gone to the army later on. Logically speaking, you should have a position in the army after so many years, right?” The army will definitely treat you well.”
Su Dashan smiled and waved his hand. ” The army has trained me for so many years. I’m about to leave. How can I still have the nerve to cause trouble for the army? ”
“That’s why people like you are rare…” Jin Ling had only heard from her parents that many soldiers were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the overall situation.
This kind of thing was common in that era, and it also happened in this era, but it was rarely heard of.
Su Dashan was really embarrassed by her praise. He smiled honestly and said,”Don’t use honorifics. We’re about the same age. It’s really hard for me to accept you calling me that. I feel like I’ve aged a few years.”
Jin Ling let out a bell-like laugh.”Isn’t that respecting you? If you don’t want me to call you by your name, I’ll call you directly. Is that okay?”
“Deal!”
The two of them chatted happily. Jin Chen and Su Hanyan looked at each other and smiled.
Initially, Su Hanyan was afraid that Third Uncle would not have anything in common with them and would feel awkward during the meal. It seemed that her worries were completely unnecessary.
“It’s fate that we met. Come on, let’s have a toast!” Su Hanyan proposed.
“Come, come, come. Cheers.” Jin Ling was in a good mood today and spoke more than usual. She smiled at Su Dashan and said, ” The world is really small. I didn’t expect to meet you again! ”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect it either.”
“Come on, cheers!”
The guests and the host enjoyed the lunch. In the end, it was Jin Chen who paid the bill.
Jin Ling wanted to bring Tongtong back to her own home. Before she left, she said to Su Hanyan,”Yanyan, I don’t think Tongtong is young anymore. It’s not right for her to always skip school. You see … Can you ask your eldest brother and sister-in-law to let the child go to school?”
“I know. My sister-in-law will be back soon. I’ll ask her when she gives birth.” Su Hanyan said.
“Alright.”
Su Hanyan reminded Su Tong, “”Remember to be obedient. Don’t cause trouble for Auntie Jin Ling!”
“Yes, yes, I understand.” Su Tong nodded obediently.
“Sister Jin Ling, if you have any questions, you can call me at any time. If no one picks up at home, you can call here. As long as you say so, I’ll get someone to handle it for you.” Su Hanyan said.
“Okay, thank you, Yan Yan.”
“Don’t stand on ceremony with me. You’re Jin Chen’s sister, so you’re my sister. We’re family!”
“Yes, a family.”
Jin Ling got on her bicycle and left with Su Tong. She had just taken a few steps when she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to say goodbye to Su Dashan.
Hence, she stopped the car and waved at Su Dashan. “”Third Uncle, goodbye!”
