Chapter 266 Going Abroad

Lin Qi's family stayed in Zhoucheng until the third day of the Lunar New Year. Early in the morning on the third day, they drove back to the capital.

Father and Mother Lin looked at the house that suddenly became quiet, feeling lost.

"My daughter's family didn't invite us to visit the capital." Mother Lin said quietly.

Father Lin glanced at his wife and said, "If she didn't invite us, then she didn't invite us. Our daughter still has us in her heart. Look, she bought us a house and bought us so many things."

Mother Lin sighed, "I know my daughter has us in her heart, but she is also on guard against us."

"She's not on guard against us. She's on guard against our eldest son and daughter's family." Father Lin looked helpless. "In front of our eldest son and daughter's family, our daughter never mentioned their business or the children's affairs in the military camp."

"We should be happy that she didn't hide it from us, right?" Mother Lin smiled bitterly.

"Don't be sad. My daughter and Ah He did not hide it from us, which means they trust us. After the children get married, they will naturally put their own families first. If we want them to support each other, that requires a deep enough relationship and everyone cares about each other. Only then can they truly support each other. But look at us children--" Dad Lin shook his head. The relationship between his eldest son and youngest daughter used to be very good, but since the eldest son got married, the eldest son, oh, forget it, let's not talk about it.

"Qiqi's family affairs should only be known to us two old people from now on. Don't mention it to our eldest son and daughter."

"That's what I mean. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Forcing them to be together will only backfire."

“.......”

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the children went to school or to the military camp, leaving only Lin Qi, Xu Hexiao and Zhao Shu at home.

On February 20th of the Gregorian calendar, Xu Boxi and three others suddenly returned home dragging their suitcases.

"Why didn't you call back in advance so I could pick you up." Lin Qi said.

"Mom..." Xu Zhonghui suddenly rushed over and hugged Lin Qi, burying his head in Lin Qi's chest, his tone filled with deep reluctance.

Several other children also gathered around and hugged Lin Qi.

Lin Qi felt bad, "What happened?"

"Mom, we are going to study in a military academy abroad." Xu Boxi said.

Lin Qi was stunned. Before she could ask more details, she heard her daughter say, "The initial plan is to go for three to five years."

"Mom, we will pass the assessment as soon as possible and strive to graduate in the shortest time possible." Xu Zhonghui solemnly promised.

"Is it fully enclosed?" Lin Qi's throat was dry.

“Well, it’s fully enclosed.”

“.......”

It only took Lin Qi ten minutes to process the fact that her children were going abroad for a few years. Upon learning that they would leave in five days, Lin Qi immediately prepared a large pile of medicinal herbs and took them to the old Chinese doctor's house that night.

Xu Jiming looked at his mother's back as she left the house and asked uncertainly, "Can those powders be taken to military camps abroad?"

"Whether we can take the baby with us or not, we should take the baby with us first, so that mom can feel at ease," said Xu Zhonghui.

Xu Shuzhe: "Mom's medicine powder is really useful."

"If you don't want to disappoint your mother, then try your best to bring the herbs to the army." Xu Boxi said coldly.

The three brothers looked at each other and nodded, "Okay."

Lin Qi rode her bicycle and arrived at the old Chinese doctor's home in ten minutes. The old Chinese doctor now lives with an apprentice. When he saw that the person coming was Lin Qi, he smiled and said, "Someone wants to buy a 50-year-old ginseng and offered a high price of 1,000 yuan. I was just about to go find you."

"I don't do business." Lin Qi refused bluntly, "I want you to make me some medicine for my injuries. I'll get the medicine in four days. The reward is a hundred-year-old ginseng."

The old Chinese doctor narrowed his eyes and said, "You really still have a hundred-year-old ginseng!"

Lin Qi nodded, "So do you want to take this business? Also, you can't take one-fifth of the medicine this time."

"catch!"

Lin Qi went to see an old Chinese doctor, while Xu Hexiao went to see his biological father Xu Zhaoyuan.

"You want to expand your business overseas?" Xu Zhaoyuan was a little surprised. "As far as I know, your products are not enough to sell in your own supermarket. And ordinary daily necessities are not advantageous when sold abroad. Have you thought about what to sell? Our country's handicrafts, embroidery and other things may have a market abroad."

"Those things can't be expanded. I plan to sell wine." Xu Hexiao said.

Xu Zhaoyuan's expression turned serious. "Qiqi's wine is very good, but foreign investors will not allow you to seize their market share."

"What if I try to snatch it by force?" At this moment, Xu Hexiao was unstoppable.

Xu Zhaoyuan was shocked by his son's aura. Even as a father, he couldn't help but temporarily avoid the edge. He stared into his son's eyes and said, "If you force the fight, you may get a bloody way out, or you may even lose your life overseas."

"Help me, and I will acknowledge you as my father." Xu Hexiao said.

Xu Zhaoyuan was deeply moved. His son's family was so outstanding and he really cherished this family.

"My ability is limited. I can only introduce you to some connections. As for how far you can go, I can't guarantee it." Xu Zhaoyuan said.

Xu Hexiao nodded. "Okay. Now, I want a batch of advanced equipment for brewing red wine. Please help me buy it. The sooner the better."

Xu Zhaoyuan laughed angrily, "You are not shy at all."

"Xu Boxi and the other three are going to a military academy abroad. They will be away for three to five years. They will leave in five days." Xu Hexiao said.

"What!"

Xu Zhaoyuan was shocked. "How did they get the quota?"

“That’s not our concern.”

"It's a closed one, right? Even if you do business there, you won't be able to see them."

"Prepare for a rainy day. If... there won't be no way out at all."

“.......”

"Okay, I'll help you contact people and buy equipment tomorrow. Send a few jars of wine tomorrow and I'll use them as gifts. In addition to wine, your strong liquor is also good and has a market overseas."

The next morning, Xu Hexiao delivered the wine to Xu Zhaoyuan's residence and drove to the military compound.

Mr. Lu retired the year before last. Now he drinks tea and plays chess at home every day. Xu Hexiao came early and saw the old man practicing boxing in the yard.

"You've come just in time. Let's have a fight." Old Master Lu hooked his finger at Xu Hexiao.

Xu Hexiao refused, "I came to see you for something serious."

"Because of Bo Xi's four children?" Mr. Lu was not surprised at all.

"Yes and no. I want to sell the wine abroad." said Xu Hexiao.

"Such good wine is not even enough for us to drink ourselves, how can we sell it abroad!" Old Master Lu was angry. The wine had so many benefits, he was reluctant to give it to foreigners.

"To earn foreign exchange. And the wine sold abroad is naturally not as good as the one we drink ourselves." Xu Hexiao said.

Mr. Lu snorted twice. Although he was still unhappy, he no longer objected. "What do you want me to do for you?"

"I want to rent a few mountains to grow grapes, and I also want to get a piece of land to build a winery." Xu Hexiao said.

Mr. Lu fell into deep thought for two or three minutes before he said, "There are no suitable mountains near the outskirts of Beijing, and it's not easy to approve land. The neighboring province is vast and rich in resources, and the climate is also suitable for growing grapes. I'll help you smooth out the relationship and make your process go more smoothly."

"Thank you." Xu Hexiao said.

"Don't thank me right away. You have to take care of things yourself. Just use your family's wine. Be prepared to spend a lot of money." Grandpa Lu said.

Xu Hexiao hummed, "I know."

They were leaving in four days, and the children were allowed to stay at home with their family. During the day, Lin Qi injected supernatural powers into the children almost every one or two hours to forge their flesh, blood, and bones.

After a few days, the child's speed and strength have been significantly improved.

"You are already very strong. Just stay in the top ten in the military academy. Don't reveal all your cards at once." Lin Qi warned.

"The instructor also told us so." Xu Zhonghui said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry, we know what to do."

Lin Qi touched the children's faces and said, "Mom has no other requests. Just come back safely. If anything happens, you must find a way to hold on until Mom comes to save you."

Several children's eyes moistened, "Okay."

On the morning of the fifth day, Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao sent the children to the military camp.

The next morning, the children arrived at the port city and stayed there for three hours. Then they went to the surrounding countries overnight.

Two days later, not only their names changed, but also their nationality.

Xu Boxi and the other three obeyed orders throughout the entire process, but their faces looked serious.

"The teachers said that you have a strong learning ability. After moving around in several laboratories, you have learned almost everything you need to learn. You have a wealth of theoretical knowledge and your hands-on ability is not weak either." The instructor had a proud look on his face. He was happy for the children he had brought up and watched them grow rapidly.

Xu Boxi understood something from the instructor's words, "So, we are not going to the military academy?"

"No. You are already good enough. The military academy can no longer satisfy you." The instructor's face darkened. "You are going to the best school in the world. We have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to get you a place. What you need to do is to enter those top laboratories, learn something, and bring what you have learned back to your country."

"The four of us are going to different schools?"

"Yes. Are you afraid of fighting alone?"

"No."

"What if I can't learn it well?"

"Then don't come back."

The instructor's tone was serious and didn't sound like a joke.

Xu Boxi and the other three looked serious and tensed, "Yes!"

"Also, you need to change the habits you developed in the army. You must not let others see any clues and doubt your identity. Now, you are just four rich kids with superb IQs."

"yes!"

"Remember your names and origins."

"yes!"

Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao lost contact with their children.

Lin Qi focused on brewing wine every day, and the wine in the cellar increased day by day. Xu Hexiao took the wine and money to the next province. Even with Commander Lu's greeting, it took Xu Hexiao three months to rent the land needed for the mountain and the factory, and rented it for a hundred years.

"We have rented 100 hectares of mountain land and 100 mu of land for the factory. Is this number enough?" Xu Hexiao asked Lin Qi for her opinion.

"That's enough for now. Now that it's summer, we can plant grapes. Let's plant them as soon as possible."

"Okay. I'll go look for my father tonight and leave tomorrow."
