Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Grandson—Xiao Zhang, looking at his grandfather’s upright posture, he could fully imagine how handsome his grandfather must have been back in the day!
Even though his body isn’t what it used to be, when he stops, it hurts a lot.
However, today, he didn’t show a trace of pain; rather, he was full of gratitude and pride!
He silently uploaded the video without tagging Lu Xiaobu because he knew that Young Master Bu would surely see it.
The video subsequently caused a huge stir on the internet.
"Wow! Grandpa is so handsome!"
"He has so many Military Merit Medals; he must be a revolutionary hero!"
"Absolutely! But why is Grandpa in such a place?! Shouldn’t he be in a special place for retirement?!"
"Yeah! What’s going on?! Can someone explain?!"
"A revolutionary hero shouldn’t live like this! Don’t we have policies for this in our country?! Is there some hidden reason?!"
"..."
Xiao Zhang quickly posted on Weibo: "I don’t know why either; it seems Grandpa hid this himself. If it weren’t for today, I wouldn’t have known!"
Hearing his explanation, people somewhat felt relieved.
Grandpa probably had his own considerations!
And soon, a call from the military district rang on Xiao Zhang’s phone.
"Hello!" Xiao Zhang was on high alert; he thought he broke some rules.
After all, Grandpa has been home for so many years, and he himself isn’t a soldier, so he’s not very familiar with military discipline!
However, the voice on the other end cautiously asked, "Are you Xiao Zhang? Is your grandfather by your side?!"
"Yes." Xiao Zhang was surprised; it didn’t seem like he broke any rules!
"Can you ask the chief if I can speak with him?" The voice asked with excitement and caution.
Xiao Zhang looked at his grandfather, who nodded.
Xiao Zhang handed the phone to his grandfather.
"Is it Hai Tao? I saw you on TV not long ago!" Grandpa Zhang said with a smile.
"Chief! Where have you been all these years?!" The voice on the other end burst into tears!
Men don’t cry easily until they’re deeply hurt!
This man was the one who personally carried him off the battlefield back in the day; without the chief, he would have died long ago!
"Hey! Don’t call me that, I’m just an old soldier, not a chief!" Grandpa Zhang said sternly.
"I’ll come to pick you up right away!" The choked-up voice said.
"No need, here I can still see her when she was young, it’s quite good."
Grandpa Zhang turned back to look at the shabby little house, his eyes full of warmth: "If it weren’t for this incident, I wouldn’t have done something so impulsive with these old bones!"
"Chief, I..."
The voice became more and more choked up.
He knew what had happened!
The chief’s wife was taken away by those brutes back then!
"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that!" Grandpa Zhang waved his hand and said.
Xiao Zhang watched his grandfather reminiscing, and his nose felt sour.
Alas! When people get old, their eyes are always prone to "getting a speck of dust"!
...
While the two were reminiscing, the military district’s official Weibo also announced Grandpa Zhang’s identity at the same time!
Looking at that string of achievements, netizens were all stunned!
"Oh my god! A true revolutionary hero, a battle hero!"
"So handsome! This is a true hero!"
"Grandpa Zhang is explosively handsome!"
"Damn! Nobody stop me, I’m going to join the army!"
"Long live the hero! Long live!"
"..."
Soon, someone raised a question: "Hey, why did Grandpa Zhang suddenly post a saluting video?!"
"Are you stupid? It’s obvious, it must be because of that incident! That person!"
"Yeah! Am I dumb?!"
"Hahaha, when you mention this, I just want to laugh out loud! It gives me inexplicable pleasure just thinking about it!"
"Indeed! I’ve heard the fire hasn’t been put out yet!"
"What the heck! Really?! The fire hasn’t been put out yet?! Their efficiency is too low!"
"Hehe, I wish their efficiency was even lower! The cleaner it burns, the better!"
"That’s true!"
"By the way, by the way, has Young Master Bu returned to the country?!"
"What’s with you?! Didn’t we say it’s not allowed to be mentioned?!"
"What are you talking about! I’m just asking if Young Master Bu has returned; I’m preparing to welcome him, what’s wrong with that!"
"Yeah! I’m too cautious! Seems like he’s about to return! If he lands at Magic City, he’ll be back in about three hours!"
"Then it’s about time! I’m hurrying to take off to welcome him at the airport!"
"Are you kidding? If you go now, you won’t even get close to the airport gate!"
"What the heck? So many people are coming back today?!"
"Bullshit! Everyone’s here to welcome Young Master Bu back! You think everyone is like you, waiting at home? We got here early!"
"Oh my god! You guys are a bunch of beasts; I underestimated you!"
"..."
Soon, photos of Magic City airport were posted online!
Someone even started a live stream, reporting the scene live.
From the footage.
Oh boy, a sea of people, a dense crowd, shoulder to shoulder!
Yet, even with this crowd, everyone’s face was filled with an excited smile, no one was angry, no one was mad, instead, they were all enthusiastically chatting with each other.
They all came for one purpose, to welcome Young Master Bu home!
An excited streamer: "Look, look, which welcoming lineup could be worthy of this except Young Master Bu?!"
But a shout came from the live stream room: "Streamer, streamer, what’s that?!"
"What!?" The streamer was startled, turning to look!
This look nearly scared him silly!
Another dense crowd was approaching.
Judging by the number, it’s definitely counted in tens of thousands!
"That’s Lu Xiaobu’s hundred thousand Iron Cavalry! They’re here!"
"Yes, yes, that’s them!"
"Oh my god! It’s so magnificent! The number of people welcoming at the airport today must be in the millions!"
"More than millions; didn’t you see there are still people coming continuously?!"
"I don’t know why, but I feel my blood boiling all over my body!"
"You’re not alone?! If time allowed, I’d want to rush over now!"
"So grand!"
"..."
As everyone marveled, a plane flew back from afar!
"Look, the plane is back! Is that Young Master Bu’s flight?!"
"A plane actually came back?!"
"It’s back! It’s back!"
"Hahahaha! Young Master Bu is finally back! Do you think he’ll be surprised?!"
"You’re kidding! Who is Young Master Bu?! How could he be scared by something so minor?!"
"Exactly! Waiting eagerly! Streamer, don’t you dare stop the live stream! Otherwise, I’ll be mad at you!"
