Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

145. Drunk

Su Jinru felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this.

It turns out that in the children's hearts, a home without a father is incomplete, but they had never expressed this wish before.

Yuan Wenjie said excitedly, "Good lad, good son, well said, you are a man of honor and loyalty."

Seeing her son finally call her "Dad," Su Jinru felt quite gratified.

She didn't spoil her two children in vain; they are sensible and reasonable.

An Ran took a big gulp of wine, but choked and coughed violently, her face turning red.

Yuan Wenjie burst into laughter.

"It's normal to choke the first time you drink alcohol. You'll get it right and won't choke again."

It's clear that Yuan Wenjie is genuinely happy!

He said that over the years, he had escaped death countless times, all for the sake of ensuring that the people in the rear could live and work in peace and contentment.

He felt this warm family atmosphere today, and he felt that all his efforts over the years had been worthwhile.

Anran asked curiously, "Dad, have you ever been to the battlefield?"

"Of course I've been there."

What battlefields have you fought in?

"There are too many."

He counted on his fingers, one, two, three, four, five, and mentioned that he had participated in five famous battles, not counting countless smaller ones.

Have you ever killed an enemy?

"Going to the battlefield without killing a few enemies is a wasted trip."

An Ran looked at Yuan Wenjie with admiration and asked many questions about the war.

An Xin listened with great interest.

The war as commonly understood by the general public differs greatly from reality.

Although Yuan Wenjie spoke lightly, they could all tell how cruel the war was.

Su Jinru placed a piece of chicken into Yuan Wenjie's bowl.

"Stop talking and start eating."

An Xin said, "My aunt also went to the battlefield."

Yuan Wenjie asked curiously, "Your aunt was also a soldier and went to the battlefield?"

"Yes! My aunt is still in the army! But she's a medic. When she joined the army, many people in the village were very envious. That year, only one female soldier was recruited in the whole county."

Yuan Wenjie looked at Su Jinru.

"How come I've never heard you mention having such a younger sister?"

"You didn't even ask!"

"Now I'm asking you, how many siblings do you have? We're family now, I can't possibly know nothing about your family situation!"

“I have two younger sisters and one younger brother. My second sister married into Xiaoben Village and has three children. The couple has a good relationship and they are doing well.”

My third sister has been serving in the army for over seven years and has never come back.

She got married in the army. Her brother-in-law is also a soldier. They met in a battle. My sister was a medic, and she carried him back from the pile of dead bodies on the battlefield. She saved her current husband. The two met and fell in love in the army, then got married. Their son is over two years old.

She said that the three of them would be coming back soon. After so many years of marriage, my parents had never met their son-in-law or their grandson. They should have come back to visit their parents long ago.

An Xin asked excitedly, "Really? My aunt is coming back? When?"

"It will probably arrive in a few days, very soon."

"That's great, we can see Aunt and the others before we leave."

Su Jinru smiled and said, "I should be able to see him."

Anran: "Dad, you fought on the same battlefield, is it possible that you two know each other?"

"I'm in Zone A, and they're in Zone B. Logically, we shouldn't know each other. But I do know a few people there. Tell me, what's your brother-in-law's name?"

Su Jinru said, "My sister wrote to me, but she only referred to her husband as Lao Ma. I really don't know his real name."

"It's alright, they'll know when they arrive in a few days."

Su Jinru: "I don't know the exact time they'll be back. Yuan Wenjie, is your schedule flexible enough to accommodate their return?"

"No problem within a month."

"They will definitely be back within a month."

Yuan Wenjie: "Didn't you just say you have a younger brother? Is your brother at home?"

"My younger brother is the youngest child in our family. He is studying at the National University of Defense Technology. He has good grades and is engaged in scientific research."

Yuan Wenjie exclaimed, "Being able to get into the National University of Defense Technology is really impressive."

"Your children are all quite outstanding."

Su Jinru: "It's a pity that my second sister and I never went to school, otherwise we probably wouldn't have been too bad off."

"You're already so amazing even though you've never been to school. Imagine how incredible you would be if you had gone to school."

"My younger brother is graduating from university this year and I heard he plans to stay and work at a military research institute."

Su Jinru: "How about I send him a telegram and ask him to come back? It's not easy for our family of brothers and sisters to get together. After this meeting, I don't know when we'll be able to see each other again."

An Xin: "We haven't seen our uncle for almost four years. We miss him so much. Please send a telegram to him so he can come back."

"My uncle must look quite dashing in his military uniform."

"Of course I'm energetic!"

The family chatted and laughed together while eating.

It was Anxin and Anran's first time drinking alcohol, and they both got a little tipsy after only drinking a small bowl.

Su Jinru told them to go back to their rooms and go to sleep.

Yuan Wenjie, however, had a high alcohol tolerance and drank one cup after another, saying that he was happy today and had to drink to his heart's content.

He not only drank it himself, but also dragged Su Jinru to drink it with him.

Su Jinru couldn't refuse him, so she could only drink a lot with him.

After finishing her third bowl of wine, Su Jinru stopped Yuan Wenjie from pouring any more.

"Eat more vegetables and drink less alcohol, as it can damage your liver and stomach."

"I'm full, and I've had enough to drink. I'm a little dizzy. Can you help me to my room?"

Su Jinru herself was also a little dizzy, but she still quickly went to help him.

She helped him into her room.

Su Jinru asked him to sit on the chair next to her while she changed the sheets and blankets.

But Yuan Wenjie stopped him, saying, "Don't change it, it looks perfectly clean to me."

"Besides, this bed should smell like you. I like this clean and refreshing scent."

He insisted on not allowing the change.

Su Jinru had no choice but to go along with him.

She prepared water and washed his face and feet.

Su Jinru had also washed herself and was about to go to her daughter's room when he stopped her.

He pulled her into her room and closed the door.

She was a little nervous.

"I...I'll go sleep in my daughter's room."

"You're my wife, so you should sleep in the same room as me. On our wedding night, are you going to leave me alone in the room?"

"We...didn't agree on this; we were just trying to appease others..."

He pulled her into his arms.

“We have a marriage certificate, a state-issued marriage certificate. You are a military family member, and you will be for life. If I don’t agree, you can never leave me.”

He was so close to her, and he smelled pleasantly of pine and alcohol, without the usual unpleasant odor of someone who has been drinking. She could feel his body was burning hot, and his steaming breath was wafting towards her.
