Bai Yajing shook her head: "The newspaper said the frequency is 20.009 MHz, but our radio can't pick up that high a frequency. But..."
She smiled mysteriously. "The military radio team said they're prepared to try and receive it, and if successful, they'll record it."
Grandma was overjoyed upon hearing this. She stood up and said as she walked, "Haha, on such a happy day, I must add another dish."
Seeing his wife's busy figure, the grandfather got up to help her.
The aroma of braised pork wafted from the kitchen, along with the rich scents of soy sauce and star anise.
Grandpa came out carrying steaming hot dishes: "Dinner's ready."
Grandpa Bai carefully folded the newspaper and placed it on a chair to the side. He then cleared the table and waited for him to put the dishes on.
Bai Yajing also got up to get the bowls and chopsticks.
The family of four sat around the round table, and the food tasted especially delicious today because they were in a good mood.
"Grandma, the braised pork is so delicious today." Bai Yajing picked up a piece of pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, took a bite, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Grandma smiled and put another piece of meat in her bowl: "Eat more. Today is a big day. Our country has even sent a satellite into space. Things will definitely get better and better from now on."
Grandpa took a bite of rice and smiled, agreeing, "Awei should be coming home soon, and our family will be reunited!"
"Hahaha, good news, all good news! Things will only get better for us!" Grandpa was very happy too.
This step has been successful, and we can already foresee that everyone will be able to live a good life in the future.
That evening, many people saw the news in the newspapers and spontaneously gathered in their yards to wait and see that unusual 'star'.
Bai Yajing and her family were also in the courtyard. She held her breath and watched the unique "star" slowly streak across the night sky.
Unlike a fleeting meteor, it moves steadily and calmly, like a tiny messenger announcing to the world the arrival of China's space age.
Grandpa Bai nodded and softly hummed, "The East is Red, the sun rises..."
Grandma and Grandpa couldn't help but join in the singing, and the three of them sang together, their voices growing louder and louder, full of power.
Meanwhile, other neighbors heard it and joined in. Gradually, more and more people joined in, and the familiar melody echoed throughout the entire residential compound.
The "star" representing China's space dream gradually disappeared into the southeastern sky, but the singing continued for a long time.
Bai Yajing smiled serenely, believing that people in other places must feel the same way.
That night, many people slept well.
Bai Yajing lay alone in bed, while her two little children were taken back to the military compound by Xiao's parents.
Grandpa Xiao misses his two children, so every now and then he asks the couple to take the children back to stay for a while.
She's already thinking about preparing a new room for her godmother during her time off this week.
Many things need to be replaced.
My godmother's little courtyard has been taken back by the military. It will probably be reassigned after my godmother returns, but you can stay here with her until then.
She hasn't seen her for years, it would be a lie to say she doesn't miss her!
Thinking of the bright future, she smiled and gradually fell asleep.
