"Why?" Gu Fuqiao was a bit surprised.
In this era, being a soldier is quite honorable! Even though the Chen Family originally belonged to the city, with decent economic conditions and all, Chen Bajin's Old Chen was doing quite well in the military. Gu Fuqiao had even heard Yan Zhen Guo mention Old Chen at home. Yan Zhen Guo was a man of his word, so if he thought Old Chen was good, he must be good indeed!
Gu Fuqiao looked at Chen Bajin, puzzled, and Chen Bajin finally sighed and said to Gu Fuqiao, "It's like this: before my brother got involved in scientific research, he could often spend time playing with me. Later, when he started doing research, though I was always with him, we had very little time to spend together on an everyday basis."
