Principal Chen was around 50 years old now. He had experienced many battlefields and wars too so there were many conversations he could have with u=Uncle Gen. Ye Jian would feel at ease if the two elders retired at the same place.
Uncle Gen agreed with her suggestion.
The soldiers that came to visit Uncle Gen would never appear in front of the villagers. The villagers were also used to Uncle Gen spending the festival by himself as he always relied on himself. Hence, Uncle Gen, Principal Chen, and a few officers from the military unit spent a lively Lantern Festival together.
The next day, before the sun came out, Principal Chen left Shuikou Village. Uncle Gen reminded him before he left, "Don't tell Ye Jian that Grandma Ye came back to the village. I have Heiga accompanying me so normal people won't dare to barge into my house."
