Chapter 1 Father and Son(1/2)
350 years of Anping Calendar.
Daxia Prefecture, Nanyuan City.
Su family.
As soon as Su Yu entered the house, he smelled the fragrance of the dish, threw down 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 at the kitchen and said vaguely: "Dad, change the soup tomorrow, and you won't be so tired of eating meat every day."
"Some of them are good to eat, and they are picky!"
Su Long's complaint came from the kitchen, "You said you are eighteen years old this year. When will you learn to take care of yourself? I have been taking care of you as a father and a mother for so many years, and I finally have to be free."
Su Yu chewed the braised pork and smiled: "Dad, you have good skills and are almost a chef. I want to cook by myself. The key is that I can't eat it if I cook it!"
"Oh!"
Su Long laughed, "You just talk but don't practice, you're going into the kitchen."
Soon, Su Long, wearing an apron, walked out with the dishes.
He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a burly and powerful body, and wearing an incompatible little apron, he looks particularly funny.
Su Yu always said, 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 the money for a pair of aprons!"
"What do you know!"
Su Long didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he brought the dishes to the table, and did not take off his apron. He sat down and said, "Eat! You can save some money, let alone this apron is new..."
"This has been said for three years!"
Su Yu rolled his eyes, and even if you said something new three years ago, you still said that three years later, and your father really dared to say it.
Su Long didn't care either, so he sat down and ate it very quickly.
Su Yu had been used to it for a long time and didn't care about it. He sat down on his own and sighed while eating: "Dad, is there another war on the front line? I just came back and saw a recruiting cart downstairs. Have you come to our community to recruit soldiers? I don't know which one it is..."
Su Long's movements of eating were slightly stopped, and he quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks and said seriously: "Everyone has the responsibility to defend the country! From your tone, do you think it's not good to be a soldier?"
"without!"
Su Yu hurriedly left it clear that his father was a retired soldier, so he couldn't talk nonsense, otherwise his father's bear paw was not a joke.
Su Long snorted lightly, then he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and continued to eat.
As he ate, Su Long's tone changed a little, and he said a little low: "Ayu, the front line is in turmoil, and the major war corps issued conscript orders again and again! Recruiting new recruits and calling veterans to return..."
Su Yu's chopsticks were slightly absent, and he looked up at his father, no longer as arrogant as before, and frowned and looked at his father, "Dad, this has nothing to do with us, right? You have been discharged from the army for 18 years, I have just become an adult, and I have to take the entrance exam for a higher education, so I can't recruit our family even if I recruit soldiers..."
“It’s been 18 years…”
Su Long breathed lightly, yes, it's been 18 years.
"After 18 years of retirement, the Demon Suppressing Army summoned veterans to return orders and issued them 5 times this time! After the age of 50, it will not be within the scope of the recall."
"The first 4 times, because you are still young, my dad is worried about you and you are not taking good care of yourself, so my dad is not called."
Su Yu's face changed for a moment, "Dad, we don't need to go to our family, this is allowed by the policy!"
“Yes, policy allows!”
Su Long grinned and looked up at his son, "So I didn't go. I've been recruiting 4 times in 2018, but today, my son is adult! He's 18 years old!"
"dad!"
Su Yu's face changed completely, "What do you want to say?"
"You know what dad is going to say."
Su Long looked at his son, feeling a little relieved and happy, and said with a smile: "18 years ago, although your father was useless, he was at least a small team leader in the Demon Suppression Army, taking charge of No. 30 people."
"At that time, your mother was going to give birth to you, and I came back with a leave, but I didn't know... Your mother just left like that, you were just born. There was no elderly person at home to take care of me, so I really couldn't leave..."
"There's no way, I'm discharged from the army!"
Su Long grinned his teeth and smiled bitterly, "When I left the Demon Suppression Army, no one of the brothers came to see me off! It's not that I was eager for me to leave, but that I was afraid that I couldn't help but run back!"
"It's been 18 years, no one contacted me, afraid that I would like to go back, I dreamed that they were yelling at me and asked me to go home with a baby..."
"Men No. 30, I died in battle for the first year..."
"None of them went back to the army, and the remaining 21 people... do you know how many are left?"
"It's still on the battlefield!"
Su Long's eyes turned red, "I'm selfish, so I dare not ask, nor dare to inquire! I didn't answer the previous four calls, but this time... Ayu, dad thought that even if he died, he would have to die on the battlefield. He was wrapped in a corpse, you... don't want to die in the rear!"
Su Yu was silent.
He had known for a long time that his father had been thinking about the front line and the old brothers. If his mother had not died of dysfunction, his father would not have returned from the Demon Suppression Army.
But he felt that it was 18 years since his father had forgotten and let go.
Today, my father told him that there was no!
He can't let it go!
"dad……"
Su Yu's face looked ugly and a little pale. "The front line is turbulent, and more and more soldiers are killed in battle. In 18 years, there have been five recruitment of veterans, and once in three or four years. You have been a soldier, do you know what it means..."
"I...I'm not married yet, haven't been admitted to a higher education institution, and haven't brought you a grandson..."
Su Long grinned and said, "It's okay, Dad is waiting! Do you think Dad is going to die when he goes back? I'm going to win the battle!"
"dad!"
"Boy, stop talking nonsense, eat!"
Su Long interrupted his son and vaguely said, "After this meal, you will cook by yourself in the future! If you don't have any food, go out to eat by yourself. If you have money in the card, you know the password."
"I'm still waiting for me downstairs, so I can't delay too long."
"After getting admitted to a higher education institution, remember to write to me, and I will receive it when I have time."
"Just take the exam for the Daxia Civilized Academy. You kid is so shameless to your father. You are sure to win. Your teachers have communicated with me. As long as there is no problem, you will definitely pass the exam. My old Su family has finally figured out his talent!"
"You said how your brain is so smart. I suspect that you are not my biological child... But fortunately, you look the same as when I was young..."
Su Yu's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but complain: "Dad, are you sure you looked the same as me when you were young?"
"No, that's fake!"
Su Long raised his head, showed his rough face, and grinned, "Ask the neighbor next door, do you look like it?"
Su Yu was powerless and knew that his father was changing the topic. He turned back to the topic 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 have stopped practicing. You are only at the Nineth Level of Thousand Minutes. Is it useful to go there?"
"Who do you look down on?"
Su Long said angrily: "What's wrong with the Nine Level of Qianjun? It's not just about force on the battlefield. If you really only look at force, then don't fight! Everything is possible on the battlefield. I used to kill a strong man from the Seventh Level of Qianjun and even killed ten thousand stone realm!"
Su Yu was worried. I don’t know whether this is true or not, but my father has been saying it for many years, and it is really possible.
The key is that he doesn't want his father to go to the front line.
The front line is in turmoil, and a large number of soldiers are killed in battle every year. The situation is getting more and more critical. His father is almost 50 years old. He is back to the battlefield at this moment... Su Yu dare not think about it.
"dad……"
"Shut up!"
Su Long interrupted him, got up and packed up the dishes, and said seriously: "I have registered. If I don't go, I will be a deserter! It's okay if I haven't registered. If I don't go, I know the consequences if I don't go! Being a deserter will also die!"
"Dad, can't you wait for me to come back to discuss it?"
Su Yu was annoyed!
At this moment, he already knew that he could not change anything. As his father said, it didn't matter if he didn't register. The conscript order for these veterans was not a forced call. These veterans were able to retire alive and made contributions on the battlefield back then.
But once you register, it means you re-enter the army, that is a soldier, if you don’t go at this moment, that is a deserter.
"What to discuss?"
Su Long disagreed and said, "Don't worry, I can't die. Even if I die in battle, there will be a lot of pensions. Remember to get it yourself! It's enough for you to get married and have children. I'll consider it for you!"
After saying that, Su Long picked up the greeting that had been packed long ago, took off his apron, picked up his backpack, as if he was just going out for a long trip, and casually instructed: "Take a good exam and support the human race in the rear. When you go to the Civilized Academy, give the old Su parents a good face!"
"Civilized School... I'm going back and bragging. My son was admitted to the Civilized School, which is much better than those of their guys!"
"It's just a pity. I can't see the notification letter. Go back and take a photo and send it to me with the letter, otherwise those guys would think I'm bragging..."
"dad!"
Su Yu hurriedly got up and caught up with his father, feeling a little panicked.
Dad is really leaving!
Over the past 18 years, he has been accustomed to relying on his father for life. Today, his father suddenly left, and he was completely unprepared.
"Adults are not children, so don't urinate!"
Su Long grinned and said, "If you were not a grown-up, your dad wouldn't leave! But now, I have to go back. In my team 18 years ago, there were a few kids as old as you, Ayu, do you know? I dreamed, dreamed of them... I cried and shouted in the dream and said it hurts, saying that it hurts, saying that killing all the beasts, I regret your dad. Back then... I should have sent you to the military resident court, and there are people who will support you anyway."
Su Long's eyes were rosy, "I have packed my luggage for 5 times, the first 4 times, but every time I see you, I am selfish and I can't bear to leave! The fifth time, is there another time? Another time, when I reach 50, the Demon Suppression Army will not accept me!"
