2712: Old Friends

Old Friends

Commander-in-chief Xia held a high position in the military. It was common for him to leave his home when he had something on. In front of the country and family matters, the men of the Xia family would choose the country.2

However, what the commander-in-chief didn't expect was that when he walked out of the courtyard house, he saw a red flag sedan with its engine turned off. The chauffeur got down first. It was an armed police officer.

He didn't see Commander Xia yet. After getting out of the car, he immediately ran to the back door. Commander Xia heard the armed police officer say in a low voice, "Be careful."

To be able to come to the Xia family at this time, it must be an old acquaintance. The commander-in-chief saw an unexpected old man getting out of the car. It was… Old Master Fu!

This was his future daughter-in-law's grandpa!

No matter how urgent the matter was, Commander-in-chief Xia stopped and walked over immediately.

"Old Master."

When the armed police officer heard the voice, they saw a general walking over. He supported the old man and immediately saluted.

Before Old Master Fu could recognize who it was, he heard someone walking toward him but he still couldn't see who it was. The sky outside was dark, so the lighting was dim.

"Old Master, I'm the third son of Old Master Xia. My name is Xia Xinhui." Commander Xia, who was a general, bowed slightly to show his respect. He instructed his guard in a low voice and the guard returned to the courtyard house. Commander Xia walked over quickly.

At the same time, he naturally held the old man's hand and walked toward his house.

Old Master Fu immediately knew who it was when he heard the introduction. He smiled brightly and said in a strong voice, "You're Ah Yuan's father, right? Good, good, good. Not bad. You took over your old master's position. Not bad! Impressive! Your Xia family is getting stronger and stronger every generation."

Father Fu didn't know that he already had a future son-in-law, but the old man already knew that he had a future son-in-law.

This time, he came to celebrate his friend's birthday and to let the two families interact.

"You're flattering me. Be careful of the steps. It's an old house with a high threshold." Commander Xia, who got praised, took care of the old man carefully and reminded him to be careful of his feet.

The Xia family had always been guarding the Xia family's ancestral home. It had hundreds of years of history. Grandpa Xia and Old Madam Xia got married here and gave birth to their children at home. It was Xia Jinyuan's childhood paradise.

The old man who crossed the threshold looked at the place he came to decades ago and sighed. "It hasn't changed… It's still the same as it was decades ago. The threshold is still the same."

His wise and peaceful gaze landed on a corner of the courtyard. He saw an old pomegranate tree. Due to the colorful lights on the tree, Old Master Fu could see that the pomegranate tree was filled with pomegranates.

"This tree… is still here. That year, when your old master knew that I was in trouble, he forcefully plucked half of the pomegranates from the tree and stuffed them into my wife's bag. This…

"Half a lifetime has passed by in a flash. Old Fu, Old Fu, you've really become Old Fu now." An old voice came from the side. Grandpa Xia, who was wearing a retro Chinese Tang suit, walked over from the steps of the main hall.

Grandpa Xia, who had just returned to the banquet, received the letter from the guard. He couldn't sit still and wait anymore. He took his walking cane and walked out immediately. When he saw the figure in the middle of the courtyard, his laughter got louder. "Back then, you were in your prime. You were in the books business and full of vigor. In the blink of an eye… Hahaha, you have one walking cane and I have another. Now that we meet again, my hair is white and I can't even walk properly."
