Chapter 169 A Secret
But at that time they were busy fighting Dongjing and no one mentioned this. In the past two days, when everyone entered the space to check things, they found that the system was flashing from time to time, prompting them that they had met the upgrade conditions and asked them to upgrade as soon as possible.
Luo Jiu: "I saw it, but we can't go back now. The great cause is not yet finished, there are still some things we must do."
Feng Qi: "Yaoyao and I don't care. We are together, along with grandma and Fubao. It's okay for us to stay here forever.
But I’m afraid Jialing is in a hurry to go back, after all, her parents may still be waiting for her in Antarctica.”
Luo Jiu nodded and said, "I'll ask her later."
Before he finished speaking, Zhong Jialing and Cheng Yaoyao came in excitedly holding a pile of documents.
Zhong Jialing: “Guess what this is?”
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Some confidential technology?"
Zhong Jialing sighed helplessly, "Alas, I can't hide anything from you, and I wanted to give you a surprise.
I asked various factories for information, and these things can be used in China."
Luo Jiu pulled her to sit down and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I have something I want to ask for your opinion on.
You should have seen the system prompt, aren't you in a hurry to go back?"
Zhong Jialing spread her hands and said, "We still have a lot of work to do. We can't delay the pace of building the world's number one power just because I'm in a hurry to go back, right?
I've thought about this. Anyway, the flow rate in space is different from that outside, so it shouldn't have been long since our time and space passed.
If my parents were okay, they would have been waiting for me.
If something happens...it's too late to go back now.
In short, although I was not diligent when I was studying, I could still distinguish which was more important, the country or the family.
I was doing relief work some time ago and had personal contact with the families of the martyrs, which gave me a lot of feelings.
We have sacrificed so many of our comrades in the war, and they will never be reunited with their families.
I don’t want to affect the plan to strengthen the country for the sake of my family’s reunion. Wouldn’t their sacrifice be in vain?”
She held Luo Jiu's hand and said, "You are now the incoming president. You don't have to worry about my personal emotions. Just focus on national affairs.
The three of us will always be by your side, as we have always been, working hard with you, and devoting our hearts and souls to the greatness of our country, without regrets."
The four people held hands tightly together, and with red eyes, they whispered the four words: "No regrets."
Three days later, the four men returned home with a team of 8,000 people and five cargo ships full of gold, silver, timber, and various production equipment.
Mr. and Comrade Quan Sheng brought representatives from all walks of life and reporters to hold a reception ceremony at Hongdao Port to celebrate their triumphant return.
Everyone took photos and made speeches. After completing a series of procedures, the things on the ship had not yet been unloaded.
Comrade Quan Sheng looked at so much gold and was a little worried. "Our national treasury is still based on the Qing government's, which is relatively old. If so much gold and silver are brought in with great fanfare, what if foreigners come to rob them?"
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "It would be great if someone really came to rob it, so that we don't have to find reasons to start a war."
This is the advantage of a strong country. When a country is weak and is bullied, it can only swallow its anger, endure hardships and tolerate all kinds of abuses.
But when we become strong, if anyone comes to our doorstep to steal a brick, we will chase him and beat him up all the way to his house.
Luo Jiu told his comrades in the Ministry of Economy that a new treasury should be established as soon as possible because more good things would be shipped in in the future.
The whole country has been unified, the capital is set in Peking, and representatives from various provinces and people from all walks of life are already in Peking waiting to attend the inauguration ceremony.
Luo Jiu and others arrived at the Peking Hotel, where many media reporters and reception staff from all parties were waiting.
Luo Jiu was chatting with everyone when Lao Zhang, leaning on a cane, staggered over to greet him. "Sister, you're finally back. I came all the way from the hospital to welcome you."
According to Mr. Zhang, Lao Zhang was heroically wounded during the battle of Peking and was a hero in the War of Liberation. He and Comrade Quansheng visited him three times on behalf of the organization.
According to Mr. Quansheng, Lao Zhang's injuries were mostly fake. He brought a cook with him when he was hospitalized, and he could eat thirty sauerkraut and pork dumplings and half a large pork elbow in one meal.
Luo Jiu knew clearly what was going on. Although she had no blood relationship with her sworn brother, she could see through this kind of people.
Lao Zhang is the type of person who has a lot of tricks and will pretend to be smart.
He might not be injured, or only slightly injured, but he insisted on staying in the hospital, and even wrapped his legs like a mummy, rushing to such a high-profile occasion to show his face, calling his sister "sister" all the time, just to show off a few things:
I am a wounded hero, and my stepsister is the president, we have a great relationship!
Luo Jiu was very clear-headed. He smiled and didn't guess what he was thinking. He just said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother. You were a hero in the Battle of Beiping."
Lao Zhang: "I don't deserve to be called a hero, but at least I didn't bring shame to my sister and I contributed to the liberation."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Cheng Yaoyao was afraid that this old man would cause trouble and force Luo Jiu to become sworn brothers with him in front of so many people, so she quietly pulled Fubao aside and whispered to her this and that.
Fubao returned to the crowd and saw Lao Zhang holding
Luo Jiu hurriedly said, "No, no, no, this isn't a festival, and I haven't prepared any New Year's money for my children. Besides, why kowtow? It's not popular in the Republic of China."
Lao Zhang said, "Why isn't it popular anymore? When we become sworn brothers, we have to kowtow to each other. This is a ritual passed down by our ancestors. There are some rules... Hey! Hey!"
He was talking on and on when he suddenly felt his body suspended in the air as someone lifted him up.
Just as Old Zhang was about to curse, he heard Fubao say, "Uncle Zhang, you must be tired from talking so much even though your leg is injured. I'll take you to rest."
"Hey, Fubao, no need, uncle is fine..."
Fubao lifted him up and walked into the hotel without giving him any chance to refuse.
As soon as Lao Zhang left, Shen Zhi quickly dispersed the crowd so that Luo Jiu and others could enter the hotel and rest smoothly.
Liuzi picked up the crutch on the ground and hurriedly followed.
"Aunt!"
Luo Jiu stopped and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Liuzi smiled and said, "I'll tell you a secret."
He whispered in Luo Jiu's ear: "My father's leg was not injured in the battle of Peking. He was fine during the battle of Peking.
After entering the city, he was sleeping in Yuan Datou's rocking chair. When Uncle Guo told him that Yuan Datou had been caught, he was so happy that he fell off the rocking chair and sprained his ankle.
Luo Jiu laughed and patted his head. I wonder how long he can stay in the hospital. "
As she was talking, Cheng Yaoyao looked around and asked the receptionist: "Which room is reserved for General Fu?"
The other party hurriedly said, "General Fu didn't let us get a room. She put an old man on her arm and went upstairs on her own."
Zhong Jialing felt something was wrong when she heard this, and shouted toward the stairs: "Fubao!"
There was a thud from upstairs, followed by Fubao's apologetic call: "Uncle Zhang, wake up!"
Luo Jiu glanced at Liu Zi awkwardly, "Your father is familiar with the hospital, huh?"
