The new barracks had been built next to the Tianhuo Army's encampment with overtime work.
Yang Jiye and Yue Fei were greatly satisfied with the spacious training grounds, bright dormitories, well-equipped infirmary, and clean and tidy mess hall.
After settling them in, Fang Er explained the matter of the insignia to the two.
As expected, they readily accepted such a minor procedure.
Once these soldiers had their insignia affixed, they could proceed to the main world for further training.
Upon returning home, Fang Er was surprised to see Chai Shao.
"Hahahaha, you little rogue, look how much Fang Xin resembles me!"
Seeing him return, Chai Shao's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and then he subconsciously calmed himself, lifting Fang Xin in his arms and forcing a smile at Fang Er.
Fang Er understood that this fellow had been tormented by Cheng Yaojin for so long that he was developing psychological trauma.
However, holding his own son, could this guy be planning revenge?
He smiled cooperatively and pointed at Fang Xin.
"This is your own grandson, it's normal for him to look like you."
Just then, Chai Yue came out of the kitchen with dishes.
"Father, wash your hands and eat. Come and try the grilled fish my daughter made. You always loved this the most before!"
As she spoke, she saw Fang Er standing beside Chai Shao, and her face immediately lit up with a smile. "Young Master is also back, just in time for dinner."
Fang Er saw the grilled fish in her hand and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
Back in Wa, a meal of grilled fish prepared by this woman had almost sent both him and Chai Shao to their graves!
And now again?
What was wrong with her?
The thick layer of chili powder on the grilled fish dish made his mouth water uncontrollably just by looking at it. He coughed dryly to cover his slight fear.
"Well, I have something else to do, I can't eat at home."
After speaking, he turned to Chai Shao and said earnestly.
"Father-in-law loves this the most. I'll trouble you to take my share."
"Farewell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Damn it, other people charge for cooking, but my wife cooks to kill me!
Why was his mother doing something else and letting Chai Yue cook herself!
Chai Shao watched his retreating figure, feeling that something was not quite right.
When the grilled fish was placed in front of him, he picked up a piece and tasted it, and his expression changed instantly.
The originally tender fish meat exploded like a flame in his mouth.
He instinctively wanted to spit it out, but when he met Chai Yue's bright eyes, he immediately thought of Cheng Yaojin's small whip...
What else could he do?
He had no choice but to swallow it down!
One bite, two bites...
As the grilled fish in the plate grew less and less, sweat beaded on Chai Shao's forehead uncontrollably, his face turned as red as a monkey's backside, and his lips were about to curl up.
But Chai Yue, sitting opposite him, kept looking at him with expectant eyes, occasionally handing him a cup of strong liquor and asking with a smile.
"Father, how is it? Has my daughter's cooking deteriorated?"
Chai Shao wanted to curse. When had he ever eaten something so spicy!
But he could only think this in his heart, for fear of saying the wrong thing and being discovered by his daughter that he was a fake.
He forced a smile with difficulty: "Hahahaha, not bad, not bad, it tastes excellent!"
"Your father likes your grilled fish, I can never get tired of it!"
Saying that, he picked up another large piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't dare to chew carefully, and swallowed it down in a few gulps.
His only thought now was to finish the grilled fish quickly and then find an excuse to slip away.
Damn it, what was he doing? Had his head been kicked by a donkey? Why did he have to come over for a visit!
"If it's delicious, eat more. If it's not enough, there's more in the kitchen."
Chai Yue's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. What could be happier than her cooking being recognized by her own father?
Five minutes later, Chai Shao's lips were swollen like sausages, but fortunately, the entire grilled fish on the plate had been stuffed into his stomach.
Seeing Chai Yue about to go to the kitchen to get more, he quickly stood up and handed Fang Xin over.
"Father suddenly remembered some things to do. The rest will be left for Anzhi as a late-night snack. I'm going to be busy. You watch Xin'er."
Chai Yue showed a displeased expression, but she did not try to keep him any longer. She just took Fang Xin and nodded at Chai Shao.
"Alright then, Father, go slowly. If you need any help, just send someone to tell me."
"Yes, yes, yes! Father knows. I'm leaving now!"
Chai Shao quickly agreed and then fled the Fang family as if he were escaping.
Watching his retreating figure, Fang Xin, who had been silent all along, suddenly looked at Chai Yue.
"Did Mother notice anything amiss?"
Upon hearing this, Chai Yue's expression instantly turned gloomy. "Do not speak of today's events to anyone!"
"I know, Mother." Fang Xin's little head nodded twice, and then he seriously stretched out his little hand.
"Mother, where is the candy you promised me?"
Chai Yue took a lollipop out of her pocket and placed it in his palm. "Here you go! By the way, how did you find out this grandfather was not right?"
Fang Xin skillfully peeled off the wrapper, put the candy in his mouth, and sucked it happily before replying.
"Grandpa used to like to touch my little bird, but he hasn't touched it at all since he came back this time!"
Chai Yue put him on the ground and gently patted his head twice.
"Go play."
After Fang Xin walked away, her body began to tremble violently, and large teardrops dripped from her eyes uncontrollably.
Although Fang Er had been extremely careful, he could not achieve a perfect replica after all!
No matter how similar they were, the fake was still the fake!
He never would have thought that Chai Shao, whom he and Cheng Yaojin had trained for so long, would be seen through by Fang Xin!
