Chapter 1315: No Eggs Can Be Unbroken When the Nest Is Overturned

January 12, 1992, Sunday, is the Laba Festival in the lunar calendar.

After more than ten days of emergency preparation, the ministry's inspection team finally solved a series of problems including personnel and visas, and the day of departure for the north arrived.

Wen Leyu was leaving a few days later, so she brought her children over to see Li Ye off.

Xiao Dou'er crawled into Li Ye's arms, hugged his neck, and sobbed with tears in his eyes.

"Dad, how long will it take for you to come back? Can't you come back before the Spring Festival this year?"

Li Ye rubbed his daughter's cheek and comforted her gently, "That won't work! Dad has to work. If he doesn't work, he won't get paid. If he doesn't get paid, he won't be able to give Xiaodou a New Year's gift!"

Xiao Dou was stunned for a long time, as if he had made a great decision, and said something.

"Then I... I don't want any New Year's money. I don't want any New Year's money this year."

“.”

Li Ye was really moved when he saw Xiaodouer who "gave up money rather than his father" for the first time. It was not easy for this money-loving little man to choose the latter between his New Year's money and his father.

"You won't lose any New Year's money, but after mom and I are gone, you have to listen to grandma and your brother, and don't be naughty."

“Hmm.”

Xiao Douer agreed a few times, and suddenly asked, "Dad, is Mom going on a business trip too?"

Li Ye sighed and said, "Yeah! Mom has to work too."

The tears in Xiaodou'er's eyes disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Oh, okay, I'll listen to grandma, don't worry!"

“.”

Li Ye and Wen Leyu were speechless.

Because the couple could already imagine how lawless this little devil would become after they left the capital.

Grandma Wu Juying is old after all. No matter how strict she is with her children, how strict can she be?

. . . . . . . . .

After haggling with the child for a long time, the airport finally notified everyone to prepare to board the plane. Several old comrades in the inspection team smiled at Li Ye.

Comrades these days are very free and easy, without so many romantic concerns. People like Li Ye who have their family members to see them off are a minority.

Shao Jinhui, the leader of the liaison team, smiled at Li Ye and said, "Little Li! Your child is very clingy!"

Li Ye said as a matter of course: "Of course, if your own children don't cling to you, then what's the point of raising them? When you are old, you will lie in a hospital bed and wait for them to remove the oxygen tube for you?"

"Hahahaha, young people just think differently."

Lao Shao is full of curiosity about Li Ye, his "partner".

There were only a few positions in the inspection team that were easy to get results without having to bear any responsibilities, and the competition was very fierce these days. Although Li Ye had some reputation, he was from a subordinate unit and was so young. Yet, he managed to secure the position of deputy team leader. He must have some outstanding qualities.

However, after a brief contact, Lao Shao thought Li Ye was easy to get along with.

But when it was time to board the plane, Li Ye started to suck his teeth and his eyes looked a little strange.

Old Shao asked curiously, "What's wrong, Li Ye?"

Li Ye shook his head: "Nothing, I just feel that this plane is a bit old."

Lao Shao smiled and said, "This is Tu-154, which is the latest model of aircraft of Su-e. The planes I rode before are old!"

“.”

Li Ye grinned and said nothing more.

Of course he recognized the aircraft as Tu-154, after all, its three engines were very conspicuous.

But it was precisely because he recognized it as Figure 154 that he felt a little nervous.

The major accident rate of this thing is 6.5%!

Although many people say that the reason why Tu-154 is notorious is not entirely due to the design defects of the aircraft, but because of the bad weather in the operating area and human operational errors, no matter how exaggerated you say, it is still one of the large passenger aircraft with the highest accident rate in the world.

[After all, I am a time-traveling emperor, so I shouldn’t be unlucky, right? ]

As Li Ye prayed, the plane took off smoothly, but during the takeoff, Lao Shao next to him muttered something.

"Is this pilot drunk?"

“.”

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

The capital is nearly 6,000 kilometers away from Moscow. According to Li Ye's estimate, it would take seven or eight hours to arrive there, but unfortunately they encountered a snowstorm. By the time they arrived at their destination, it was already a day later.

Even so, it was because the pilot of the big Russian plane was brave enough to land crookedly in the snow and wind. I don’t know whether it was because of his good skills or the strong vodka.

When the group was leaving the airport, Li Ye saw Bian Jingjing and Jin Peng.

Bian Jingjing waved at Sun Xianjin from a distance, but Jin Peng just smiled and acted calm.

When Lao Shao saw Bian Jingjing, he immediately asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Is that girl Xiao Sun's girlfriend?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Yes, she is also our classmate from Beijing University. Did you ask her to help us find a place to stay this time?"

Lao Shao nodded, and couldn't help but say: "You two have both found a good wife!"

“Hahahaha~”

Last year, Bian Jingjing persuaded Sun Xianjin to resign and go to the north to do business. With the help of the connections built up by Sun Xianjin's father over the years and with the care of Jin Peng, he soon became very successful.

The reason why Lao Shao said that was because Bian Jingjing was already tall, and now wearing expensive fur, she looked a bit like flowers and cow dung compared to Sun Xianjin.

After the two sides met, Bian Jingjing greeted the members of the inspection team enthusiastically, with just the right amount of politeness, and let everyone tease Sun Xianjin a few times.

However, the low-key Jin Peng secretly exchanged glances with Li Ye, and "coincidentally" arranged for Li Ye to ride in a car with him alone.

After getting in the car, Jin Peng sighed and said, "I've been waiting and waiting for you to finally come."

Li Ye chuckled: "Why, are you looking forward to finishing the harvest so you can go home and reunite with your sister-in-law?"

Jin Peng wiped his scalp and said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law has urged me many times, I have to go back for a few days, but I really don't want to leave here."

"If you don't want to leave, just run back and forth! Anyway, this is your land, and I'll have to rely on you for support in the future."

Jin Peng turned his head to look at Li Ye and couldn't help laughing.

After he got married, he came to the north. After so many years of hard work and abandoning his family, it was finally time to harvest. His subordinates always grumbled that if the harvest was completed, Li Ye would send him somewhere else.

But now it seems that Li Ye is still the righteous Xiao Ye.

[The kingdom you conquer is still yours. ]

. . . . . . . .

While Jin Peng was lost in thought, Li Ye was carefully looking at the scenery outside the car window. After looking around, it seemed that he could not see the deathly vitality of a declining empire.

"Brother Peng, are people in Su'e still hoping that life will get better?"

"Well, most people think good times are ahead, but some people are very pessimistic, so they are not soft-hearted when it comes to taking advantage of the situation."

“Yes, in the end it is the ordinary people who suffer.”

Li Ye knew that for the Great Mao and other former Soviet-German republics, the disintegration of the Soviet Union was a complete national disaster.

Many regions were forced to return to a natural economic state. The intensification of social divisions undermined the integrity of society, and the state and its structures and institutions became extremely fragile, with widespread corruption.

As a result of the chain reaction, Russia suffered a serious loss of its technological know-how, complex technological production and the entire scientific school, which ultimately caused Russia to lose its ability to participate in international competition and was pushed into the ranks of "third world countries".

The fall of a behemoth means a total collapse from top to bottom. No eggs will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned. How can ordinary people have a good life?

Oligarchs all have a hard time, okay?
