Chapter 893 - : Chives Scrambled Eggs (2/2)

“Of course. Of course. You have always been my Brother Jia,” said Grandfather Ling with a nod, his eyes turning misty.

“Ling Little Six, looks like you are living well as well. Look, you still have all your limbs on you!”

Class Monitor Jia gazed at the limbs of Grandfather Ling with a wide smile on his face. If someone else was saying these words, Ling Hong was sure his grandfather would erupt in anger. But when the rickshaw grandpa said these words, his grandfather’s eyes turned red instead.

“I’m living well. Of course, that is thanks to you carrying me down the mountain back then,” said Grandfather Ling as he nodded repeatedly.

“That’s nothing. We were all away from our country. After carrying you down, I went up again. And after that, we never saw each other anymore. It has been so many years since then,” said Grandpa Jia with a sigh.

“That’s right. I was seriously injured back then. Since the war was ending, I was sent back to our country to recover. It has been 37 years since then,” said Grandfather Ling.

“That is in itself a good outcome. I was worried you were killed in the war instead,” said Grandpa Jia after nodding.

Grandfather Ling sighed and said, “That’s what I was afraid of, our brothers losing their lives.”

“I don’t know about the rest and have no way of contacting them. But it is still good that we get to see each other again,” said Grandpa Jia with a wide smile. One big reason he has been traveling everywhere on his rickshaw was to complete the request his comrade-in-arms made of him all those years ago.

Back then, of his comrades that were killed, the youngest of them had just reached adulthood. And before their death, they had requested Grandpa Jia to pass on their messages to their respective loved ones, such as “Mom, I lost three catties of weight here”, “Qian Qian, in truth, I am still deeply in love with you”, and so on. As the class monitor, Grandpa Jia promised to pass on their last words. And thus, he spent 20 years traveling everywhere doing what he promised to his dead comrades. As he lacked information about many of them, he still had two messages to pass on. Of course, he had not given up and was still trying to this day.

As a surviving war veteran, he would forever strife to fulfill his promise so long as he still lived.

“Yes! It is a good day today. Hahaha, let’s go and grab a drink!” said Grandfather Ling happily as he pulled at Grandpa Jia’s hand.

“Bullsh*t. I need to stay here to have my meal. You haven’t eaten the food here before, right? This Little Yuan is really very good in cooking. Even his Chives Scrambled Eggs would definitely be different than what you had tried before as well,” said Grandpa Jia.

“Eh, that’s an old joke from when we were young. Why are you still saying that,” said Grandfather Ling resentfully.

“Haha, I can’t help myself. That joke was how I managed to recognize you,” said Grandpa Jia without bothering to hold back.

“What joke?” Ling Hong interrupted in a timely fashion, relaxing the mood in the air.

“Why are you interrupting, kid?” said Grandfather Ling as he glared at Ling Hong.

“This is your grandson? He’s a decent young man,” praised Grandpa Jia with a smile.

“Yes, he is precisely my useless grandson that is incapable of anything. Come, greet him,” said Grandfather Ling.

Of course, when talking to Ling Hong, he would not be as gentle when speaking. He immediately dragged Ling Hong over.

“What should I call him? You haven’t told me that, grandfather,” Ling Hong said helplessly.

“Of course you are calling him grandfather. My grandson is also Class Monitor Jia’s grandson,” said Grandfather Ling seriously.

“Hello, Grandfather Jia. I am Ling Hong,” Ling Hong greeted obediently.

After all, Ling Hong was very talented in terms of reading expressions. He did as told even though Grandpa Jia had always been a rickshaw driver with many interesting stories.

From how seriously his grandfather was behaving, he knew this was something serious. And thus, Ling Hong was not messing around as well.
