Chapter 210 - Unreconciled Heart (2/2)

After anxiously waiting for half a year, he finally received the promotion to become the Town Mayor. But first, he needed to report to the city and train for half a month before returning home at the same time when school resumes.

This career breakthrough temporarily distracted his anger as he packed his luggage and headed to the city.

In Shuikou Village, Grandpa Gen and Princ.i.p.al Chen returned from fis.h.i.+ng with big smiles on their faces. Not only had they heard of Ye Jian’s performance before Ye Zhifan did, but they also heard of the kidnapping incident.

Though worried about the dangers involved, the two elders were pleasantly delighted to know that Ye Jian’s contributions and merits will be recorded on her military file.

“The girl is bold and attentive. If she puts her heart on something and gives it her all, nothing will stand in her way!” Grandpa Gen laughed as he cleaned the gra.s.s carp he has caught earlier in the morning. Even the wrinkles on his face folded into smiling flowers. “My heart is at ease now.”

Since Princ.i.p.al Chen returned from the province, he had been living a leisure life with Grandpa Gen in Shuikou Village, where he only visited the army once in a week.

Princ.i.p.al Chen’s wrinkled face also smiled as he commented. “Though the four-year plan sounds like a long time, half a year has pa.s.sed in a blink of an eye. She is really just with us for one more year and the rest will only be summer and winter vacation.”

There was no high school in the town; but if there was one, she would’ve done well given her talents.

“As she grows older, she will eventually soar higher. She will see farther as she flies higher. As long as she remembers to visit us occasionally, I won’t chain her to this place.” Grandpa Gen laughed. “Although our time with her is limited, we shall teach her sternly and she will study a.s.siduously. Eventually, she will get into a good school.”

He cleaned the fish after it was scaled and its internal organs were removed. Braised fish was set for lunch.
