"This treatment is really great!" Jin Yuan looked around curiously and marveled at it.
When he was away from home, he had stayed in nice hotels before, but this place was different from ordinary hotels. Even the most luxurious hotels could be enjoyed by paying money, but this place was not something you could enter by just paying money.
He never thought that a simple commoner like him could enjoy such high-class treatment. It was all thanks to Tongtong from their family. Their daughter was really the best!
"That's great, uncle. I will keep working hard and ensure that you can live here every year. You can also move to another place in the future. It's up to you to arrange it!" Wu Tong promised with a smile. She would work harder and produce more useful results for the country. This little wish should be fulfilled by the higher-ups.
Cai Yi and others who had not yet returned to their rooms had their eyes flashed. Perhaps, Ms. Wu had not yet realized that she could already make this arrangement?
Given Ms. Wu's contributions, as long as they weren't breaking the law, all preferential treatment would be available to her and her family. Not to mention, regular annual recuperation was a basic arrangement; even if they wanted to live here year-round, there would be no objection from above!
Of course, none of them are talkative people, and those with a talkative personality would not be able to pass the training and come here to carry out the mission.
Grandma Jin glared at her unruly little son. He was so old but still didn't have a good heart. He was just trying to put pressure on Tongtong. "Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense!"
"Hehe... I don't dare to think about that. Tongtong, you're doing well now. You don't need to work any harder. I was just saying that!" Jin Yuan couldn't help but say it when he saw his mother's gloomy face. He didn't mean to put pressure on Tongtong; he just thought this place was nice and just sighed.
"Grandpa, grandma, it's okay. That's my goal. It's the right thing to do to make you feel comfortable! Let's have lunch, take a break, and take a walk around the neighborhood!" Wu Tong smiled and changed the subject. Don't bother looking for your uncle for this, because that was her goal.
"Okay, okay, listen to Tongtong, all of you!"
"Tongtong, you're amazing! It will take you at least ten to twenty years to reach this level!" What Jin Xin observed along the way made him more keenly aware that Tongtong's current status is extraordinary.
His sister is at least twenty years ahead of him, and this gap is likely to widen again. Jin Xin can't help but feel that his future path is indeed long and arduous.
I enjoyed playing with air defense here for three days, and it was July 29th of this year.
July 29th.
To the outside world, this day was not particularly important. However, to the Wu family and the Jin family, this day was particularly important.
Early in the morning, the whole family got ready.
They reported in advance and sent over many fresh and delicious things. In addition, they also ordered a birthday cake from the master chef here in advance, which will be ready and delivered in the morning.
Places near the sea are particularly rich in seafood, and they are all fresh goods just caught from the sea today. Swimming crabs, octopus, prawns, flounder, sole, and mackerel are all rare delicacies.
Although July and August are closed to fishing, the base has a special breeding area for supply, where fish are raised naturally, but are limited to a certain large area, which makes supply convenient during the closed fishing period.
The whole family is good at cooking. At the base, they specially asked a skilled chef to come to their home to help. Soon, not long after the cake was delivered, a sumptuous celebratory banquet was prepared, as well as a bowl of handmade ramen, which was seafood longevity noodles that could be prepared at any time.
The master prepared the banquet and said goodbye. Knowing that they all had discipline and rules, Wu Jingzhong personally saw them out and specially wrapped a red envelope and handed it to them with both hands, "Please share in the good luck!" There was no talk of thanks or anything else, just to share in the good luck, because today was the auspicious day for their daughter's coming-of-age ceremony.
"Thank you, you are so polite. It's my honor!" The master took it with both hands without any hesitation, thanked them and left quickly. Although he didn't know why the superiors paid special attention to this family, the rule here is that you must never ask what you shouldn't ask and you must never say what you shouldn't say. Their best effort in providing service is the best way to fulfill their duties.
This is not the first time they have received such thanks. They should just report it after returning. It would be bad to push it around.
After Wu Jingzhong came back, the family sat around the round table. Today, Wu Tong was arranged to sit in the middle, with his grandparents, Wu Jingzhong and his wife on both sides, and Jin Yuan and his wife below. Jin Xin was just facing Wu Tong, and next to him were Cai Yi and the other four. They did not treat these people as outsiders.
They have been with Wu Tong for almost a year, and they will spend more time with Dan Shuang in the future. Tong Tong's safety is their responsibility. The family wants to exchange hearts for hearts, so that when others do their duties conscientiously, they can also feel their gratitude and respect.
Jin Yongqing and Grandma Jin put a birthday hat on Wu Tong. The family looked at Wu Tong, with joy and pride on their faces and emotion in their hearts.
Eighteen years ago today, they welcomed a lovely little girl into the world. They accompanied her from birth to babbling, from toddling to entering school, from childhood to youth, and now to her prime, as bright as the moon and pearls, and as dazzling as the sun.
It seemed that Tongtong was still very young.
However, year after year, time passes so quickly, the years are like songs, and time flies.
The little girl who could be held up gently in her hands back then has now grown into a dazzling, internationally renowned girl, who has become the pillar of the entire family. They have begun to enjoy the blessings of their child and are surrounded by the glory of this child.
When the family recalled their girl's growth, they couldn't help but feel moved to tears, filled with surging emotions. Their Tongtong has really grown up and officially become an adult today!
"Tongtong, happy eighteenth birthday!" Thousands of words were condensed into this simple sentence: Happy birth, and may you be happy forever. Jin Yongqing took the lead, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, using juice instead of wine.
"I only hope that my Tongtong will spread his wings and fly in the future. When he is tired, his family will always be behind him!" They will always be with him until the end of their lives.
"May everything be auspicious for our daughter Tongtong!" Jin Yongqing and Grandma Jin blessed together, and they put an exquisite gold bracelet on Wu Tong's wrist.
The entire bracelet is made up of nine small bats engraved with the word "blessing" and "swastika" prayer patterns. The exquisite workmanship and material are only one of the reasons. Bats have represented blessing since ancient times, and with the engraved "blessing", the double blessing is intertwined. They also recited the prayer scriptures for a full hundred days, which represents their most sincere prayers.
