Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! - Chapter 2621

2621 Happy Family

Fu Dazhu came out with the dishes and couldn’t help but smile when he heard the laughter of the three generations of the Fu family. His eyes were still wet.

He had been taking care of the old man for 15 years. He had also lived in the Fu family’s house in Dan Gui Garden for 15 years. When the Fu family was quiet, it was so cold that his heart ached.

Even during the new year, the house was so quiet that there was no smell of fireworks at all. He’d be at the house too as he never returned home. He counted with his fingers and concluded that he had accompanied the old man for many years now.

Now, the old man’s granddaughter was back. She was a soldier too. Three generations of soldiers. It was good to have a family reunion!

There were a lot of dishes, and Mr. Fu wanted to show off in front of his daughter. Knowing that there was no food his daughter disliked, he decided to cook cuisines from Jiangnan. That was his hometown.

Dongpo meat, Xihu vinegar fish, Aunt Song’s fish soup, tomato shrimp rice crust, fire-eyed immortal duck… As Mr. Fu picked up a dish for Ye Jian and said the name of the dish, Ye Jian was already deeply shocked.

She didn’t know that her father was such a good cook!

The old man loved the dishes from their hometown the most. He picked up a piece of Dongpo pork and commented, “The meat is soft and sticky, but the sauce needs to be thicker. Add half a bowl of Shaoxing wine next time and it’ll taste better.”

“There’s no more Shaoxing at home, just half a bowl left. But you were able to notice it. Dad, you’re amazing.”

Mr. Fu was extremely satisfied when he saw that Ye Jian was stunned by his culinary skills. He continued, “If your grandfather hadn’t made other arrangements for me, I might have really become a chef.”

The old man continued, “If I hadn’t gone to the aviation institute later, I might have become a gourmet too.”

Butler Fu Dazhu was amused. “If I hadn’t come to the Fu family to take care of Old Master, I might have become a pig farmer.”

Ye Jian, whose bowl was filled with dishes, was smiling. Her eyes were as bright as the stars. Then, she heard Mr. Fu say, “In the future, when Jian looks for a husband, she should find someone like me who knows how to cook.”

Ye Jian thought about how Xia Jinyuan looked when he was cooking with an apron on. She couldn’t stand it.

It was difficult for Captain Xia to learn culinary skills.

The entire dinner was very pleasant. Ye Jian wanted to help clean up the dishes but was stopped by the butler.

“Just leave it to your Uncle Fu. If not, he’ll be worried that you’ll snatch his job and cause him to be unemployed,” the old man teased.

“You’re right. I would think that. So, let me do it.” Butler Fu Dazhu chuckled. These two figures thought too highly of him.

Ye Jian replied smoothly, “Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Fu.”

Fu Dazhu was laughing so hard that he couldn’t close his mouth. The Fu family was all kind. Hence, he didn’t want to go back to his son’s house and suffer the disdain of his daughter-in-law for no reason.

“It’s getting late. Let’s talk about serious matters after this. You can also talk about it in the car.” After the butler entered the kitchen, the old man retracted the smile on his face and reminded Ye Jian. When he saw his granddaughter’s expression change slightly because of his words, the old man sighed. “It’s better to deal with painful things quickly. Your father has to know. It’s good for him to know earlier. I can’t bear to see you suffer alone.

“Adults need to face their own problems. You’re just a child. Listen to me. We’ll talk about it later.” The old man’s attitude was a little tough this time. He clearly asked Ye Jian to be honest. “If you can’t bear to do it, Grandpa will do it. How about that?”
