Anping calendar year 350.
Daxia Mansion, Nanyuan City.
Su family.
Su Yu smelled the aroma of vegetables as soon as he entered the house. He dropped his schoolbag, walked to the dining table, picked up a piece of braised pork and threw it into his mouth.
While chewing, Su Yu looked towards the kitchen and said vaguely: "Dad, change the soup tomorrow. I won't get tired of eating meat every day."
“It’s good to eat some of them, but you have to be picky!”
Su Long's complaint came from the kitchen, "Tell me, you are eighteen this year, when will you learn to take care of yourself? I have been taking care of you as father and mother for so many years, and I am finally free."
Su Yu chewed the braised pork and said with a smile: "Dad, you are so good at cooking. You are almost a chef. I really want to cook by myself. The key is that I can't eat it if I cook it!"
"Ah!"
Su Long chuckled, "You talk but don't practice, you should go into the kitchen."
Soon, Su Long, wearing an apron, came out carrying dishes.
He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, has a burly and powerful body, and is wearing an out-of-place apron, which makes him look particularly funny.
Su Yu kept saying it every time, and this time was no exception. He shook his head and said, "Dad, can't you change to a bigger apron? Our family doesn't lack money for a pair of aprons!"
"What do you know!"
Su Long didn't bother to pay attention and put the dishes on the table without taking off his apron. He sat down and said, "Eat! You can save some money. Besides, this apron is new..."
"I've been saying this for three years!"
Su Yu rolled his eyes, forget it if you said something new three years ago, you are still saying the same thing three years later, how dare you say it even as a father.
Su Long didn't care and ate as soon as he sat down, gobbling it up very quickly.
Su Yu had long been used to it and didn't care about it. He sat down and ate while sighing: "Dad, is there another war on the front line? I just came back and saw the recruiting truck downstairs. Come to us." Is the community recruiting soldiers? I don’t know which one it is... "
Su Long's eating movements paused slightly, and he quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks, and said seriously: "Everyone has the responsibility to protect our country and our country! Listening to your tone, do you think it's not good to be a soldier?"
"without!"
Su Yu hurriedly clarified that his father was a veteran, so he couldn't say anything nonsense, otherwise his father's bear paws were not a joke.
Su Long snorted softly, then picked up the bowls and chopsticks and continued eating.
As he ate, Su Long's tone changed slightly, and he said in a slightly lower voice: "Ayu, the front line is in turmoil. The major war corps are issuing recruitment orders again and again! Recruiting new soldiers to join the army, and recruiting veterans to return..."
Su Yu's chopsticks for picking vegetables were slightly stagnant. He raised his head and looked at his father. He lost his previous willfulness and frowned at his father. "Dad, this has nothing to do with us, does it? You have been retired from the army for 18 years, and I have just grown up." , and if you want to be admitted to a higher education institution, our family won’t be able to be recruited by the military..."
"18 years..."
Su Long let out a breath, yes, 18 years.
"After 18 years of service, the demon-suppressing army's veterans' return order has been issued five times plus this one! After the age of 50, they will no longer be within the scope of the recall."
"The first four times, because you were still young, dad was worried about you and worried that you couldn't take care of yourself, so dad didn't answer the call."
Su Yu's expression changed, "Dad, we don't have to go to our house. This is allowed by the policy!"
"Yes, the policy allows it!"
Su Long grinned and looked up at his son, "That's why I didn't go. In 2018, I was drafted 4 times, but I didn't go! But today, my son has become an adult! He is 18 years old!"
"dad!"
Su Yu's expression changed completely, "What do you want to say?"
"You know what Dad is going to say."
Su Long looked at his son, a little pleased and a little happy, and said with a smile: "Eighteen years ago, although your father was useless, he still became a squad leader in the Demon Suppression Army, in charge of person No. 30."
"At that time, your mother was about to give birth to you. I asked for leave and came back. Who would have known... your mother left just like that, when you were just born. There was no one at home to take care of you. I really couldn't leave..."
"I can't help it, I'm retired!"
Su Long bared his teeth and smiled bitterly, "When I left from the Demon Suppressing Army, no one from the first team came to see me off! It wasn't that they were eager for me to leave, but they were afraid that I couldn't help but run back again!"
"It's been 18 years and no one has contacted me for fear that I might want to go back. I dream that they are yelling at me and telling me to go home and make a baby... "
"Person No. 30, in the first year I left, 9 people died in battle..."
"None of them have been discharged and returned. The remaining 21 people... do you know how many are left?"
"Still on the battlefield!"
Su Long's eyes were red, "I'm selfish, so I didn't dare to ask or inquire! I didn't answer the call for the previous four times, but this time... Ayu, Dad thought that even if he died, he would still die in battle. On the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather, your father... doesn't want to die at the rear!"
Su Yu was silent.
He had known for a long time that his father had always been thinking about the front line and those old brothers. If his mother had not passed away during childbirth, his father would not have returned from the Demon Suppression Army.
But he felt that after 18 years, it was time for his father to forget and let go.
Today, his father told him, no!
He can't let go!
"dad… "
Su Yu's face was ugly and a little pale, "The front line is in turmoil, and more and more soldiers are dying in battle. In 2018 alone, veterans were recruited five times, and once every three or four years. If you have been a soldier, you know what it is. mean… "
"I... I haven't gotten married yet, I haven't been admitted to a higher education institution, I haven't given you a grandchild yet..."
Su Long bared his teeth and said with a smile: "It's okay, dad is waiting! Do you think dad will die if he goes back? I'm here to win the war!"
"dad!"
"Boy, stop talking nonsense and eat!"
Su Long interrupted his son and said vaguely while eating: "After this meal, you can cook for yourself from now on! If you don't have anything to eat, go out to eat by yourself. There is money in the card, and you know the password."
"I'm still waiting for you downstairs, so I can't wait too long."
"If you are admitted to a higher education institution, remember to write to me. I will receive it when I have time."
"Just take the exam at the Daxia Civilization Academy. You are so proud of your father. You are 90% sure. Your teachers have all communicated with me. As long as there are no mistakes, you will definitely pass. My old Su family finally has a talent!"
"You said how your brain grew. You are so smart that I even doubted that you are not my biological child... But fortunately, you look just like me when I was young... "
Su Yu's face turned a little pale. After hearing this, he couldn't help but complain: "Dad, are you sure you looked like me when you were young?"
"Nonsense, that can still be false!"
Su Long raised his head, showed his rough face, and said with a grin: "Ask your next door neighbor if they look alike?"
Su Yu was helpless. He knew that his father was changing the subject, so he changed the subject again and said: "Dad, do you really want to go? It's not that I look down on you. You have been on the battlefield for 18 years and no longer practice. You are only now at the critical moment." Jiuchong, is it useful to go?"
"Who are you looking down on?"
Su Long said angrily: "What happened to the ninth level of Qianjun? On the battlefield, we don't just look at force. If you really want to only focus on force, then don't fight! Everything is possible on the battlefield. I killed ten thousand stones at the seventh level of Qianjun back then." A strong person in this realm!"
Su Yu was troubled, not knowing whether this was true or not, but his father had been saying it for many years, so there was a high possibility that it was true.
The key is that he doesn't want his father to go to the front line.
The front line was in turmoil, and a large number of soldiers died in battle every year. The situation became more and more critical. His father, who was almost 50 years old, was returning to the battlefield... Su Yu didn't dare to think about it.
"dad… "
"Shut up!"
Su Long interrupted him, stood up, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said sternly: "I have already registered. If you don't go, you will be a deserter! It's okay if you don't register. If you don't register, you know the consequences! If you don't go, you will die!"
"Dad, can't you wait until I come back to discuss it?"
Su Yu is angry!
At this moment, he already knew that nothing could be changed. As his father said, it didn't matter if he didn't register. For these veterans, the recruitment order was not a forced call. These veterans were able to retire alive because they had made contributions on the battlefield.
But once you register, it means re-enlisting in the army, and you will be a sergeant. If you don't go now, you will be a deserter.
"What to discuss?"
Su Long said disapprovingly: "Don't worry, you can't die. Even if you really die in battle, the pension will be quite large. Remember to get it! It will be enough for you to marry a wife and have children. I have already considered it for you!"
After saying that, Su Long picked up the salute that he had packed long ago, took off his apron, picked up his backpack, as if he was just going on a far journey, and casually said: "Take good exams, support the human race in the rear, and give good care when you arrive at the civilized school." Old Su has a great face!"
"Civilized Academy... I'll brag when I go back. My son was admitted to the Civilized Academy and is much better than those guys!"
"It's a pity. Your dad can't see the notice. You can take a photo later and send it to me along with the letter, otherwise those guys will think I'm bragging..."
"dad!"
Su Yu stood up in a hurry and caught up with his father, a little panicked.
Dad is really leaving!
Over the past 18 years, he had become accustomed to living with his father. Today, his father suddenly wanted to leave, and he was completely unprepared.
"You are an adult, not a child, so don't pee like a dog!"
Su Long grinned and said: "If you were underage, dad wouldn't leave! But now, I have to go back. There were a few boys the same age as you in my team 18 years ago, Ayu, do you know? I was dreaming, dreaming about them... In the dream, I cried and shouted that it hurt, and that I had to kill all those beasts. Your father, I regret it a little. Back then... I should have sent you to a military hospital. There were people to support you anyway. "
Su Long's eyes were red, "I have been called up 5 times, and I have packed my luggage for the previous 4 times, but every time I see you, I am selfish and I can't bear to leave! This is the fifth time, will there be a next time? Again Next time, when I am 50 years old, the Demon Suppressing Army will not accept me!"
"Let's go, the battlefield of the heavens... I'm back!"
"This time, I will kill a few of the Ten Thousand Stone Realm for you to see. I will definitely leave evidence and leave you speechless!"
Su Long waved his hand and stepped forward.
For the first time in 18 years, Su Yu saw his father so free and easy, so powerful.
But this... is not what he wants to see.
"dad… "
"They all told me not to talk nonsense..."
Su Yu stood in front of the door, gritted his teeth, and suddenly shouted: "If you don't come back, I will become my husband-in-law and marry you in! Changing your surname will cut off the incense of your Su family. If you don't care, then I will You can do it!”
"I… "
Su Long stumbled in his steps and almost turned around to curse.
He suddenly didn't want to leave. He would go home and beat this kid to death!
This kid is really capable!
My old Su family finally produced a talented person. If he were to marry into his wife, he would not be willing to die!
