Chapter 123 Chapter 123 [Extra 1]
At Beijing Capital International Airport, an ocean liner bound for Gaul departs, carrying one of the country's most elite groups.
Seven or eight simply dressed comrades on the plane were writing furiously on documents, occasionally exchanging quiet conversations with those around them.
Looking around them, there were well-dressed elites as well as arrogant people going abroad.
Many people who looked at them looked puzzled.
At this moment, a flight attendant wearing a bodycon skirt, with a graceful figure and striking features, carefully walked up to a woman.
"Mr. Luo, would you like something to drink?"
He spoke fluent Chinese, leaving the surrounding passengers puzzled. If not, then what was the point of all that English and French he had just spoken?
The woman was interrupted, and her eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised.
He said in a calm and gentle tone, "A glass of warm water, thank you!"
Upon seeing this, the flight attendant, who was of Caucasian descent, smiled with delight. "Okay, right away!"
Sure enough, within two minutes, the perfect amount of warm water was served.
Accompanying him was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie.
The man spoke a few polite words to the woman and then quickly left.
Seeing others sitting in economy class like them, some of them started whispering among themselves, asking each other why.
"Wow, you guys didn't know that? You obviously haven't been following international news."
"Oh, no, we're preparing to immigrate to France. Has anything changed recently?" A mother from a family of three asked the person in front of her with a curious look.
"Hey, do you know who that flight attendant was who called out 'Mr. De Luo' just now?"
The people around them, including the family of three, all shook their heads. Some even craned their necks to see what it looked like.
"Shh, that's Professor Luo, the most famous professor in our country right now, Ms. Luo Yin! She specializes in field archaeology projects, such as the snowfield glacier tomb, the ancient pyramid excavation and research, the shipwreck at 30,000 feet underwater in Canada, etc., all of which were initiated and led by her."
"When the news was published, it not only brought honor to our country, but also saved cultural relics worth at least several billion yuan because of this excavation."
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"He looks like he's only in his thirties, that's amazing, he's so young."
"Exactly! She looks about my age, how come she's so amazing? But is she going abroad?"
"Yeah, I think I saw a lot of people calling her 'teacher' just now, and those people behind her are students. What are they doing here?"
Seeing that some people were harboring ulterior motives, the person who knew they had misunderstood quickly explained, "Hey, hey, don't misunderstand! Mr. Luo was invited by the Kingdom of Gaul to participate in a national archaeological project. It's officially approved by the government; it's a business trip!"
"That's amazing! Look at how they're invited to go abroad."
"No wonder the flight attendants were so polite to them."
The mother patted her child's head and said, "Little Bao, do you see? From now on, you must study hard and learn from others."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely study hard!"
Now approaching forty, Luo Yin is at the perfect time to make a name for herself.
This is her fourth trip abroad this year, and she needs to take a good rest, including this exchange trip.
I closed the documents in my hand and took advantage of the remaining time to close my eyes and rest.
Not long after she fell asleep, someone signaled to the flight attendant to bring a blanket to cover her.
The long flight of more than ten hours did not diminish their fighting spirit in the slightest. After meeting up with the person they were handing over at the airport exit, they went straight to their destination.
Luo Yin, as the team leader, took on most of the tasks. External communication and liaison were handled by another engineer, Chen.
"Be careful when you're out and about, and remember that we're representing our country in this fight!"
"Understood, Engineer Luo!"
"We guarantee the mission will be completed."
"Let's get started!" With Luo Yin's last words, the group, which had been working together for a long time, immediately began to get busy.
While the exams were in full swing here, a middle school in the capital had just finished its final exams.
Outside the campus, a tall figure stood beside a military vehicle.
Parents who came to pick up their children looked at his four-wheeled vehicle and then at their own high-end private cars, and felt inexplicably inferior.
The woman next to me, who seemed somewhat familiar, was clutching a vegetable basket in her hand, her hair as dry as straw piled on top of her head.
Her eyes darted around, and knowing what she saw, she suddenly glanced at it.
Hatred and despair flashed deep in his eyes.
Hossen's features have shown signs of age, but his ruggedness only adds to his composure.
The man looked around until he saw two figures rushing towards him, one in front of the other.
"Dad~"
"Daddy~"
His stern face immediately broke into a smile.
"Xiaotian, Xiaoye, get in the car and go home!"
"Alright!" The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy rushed towards the back seat.
The girl next to me grabbed a seat first, "Hahaha, little brother, step back!"
The two children, who are about the same age, are twins, a brother and a sister.
Huo Tiantian was born two minutes earlier than Huo Kuangye!
"Dad, should we leave right now?"
Huo Kuangye sat in the passenger seat, looking at his father with an excited expression.
"Okay, go back and have a meal, then pack your bags and head straight to Inner Mongolia. Your grandpa and grandma have been talking about you for ages. Your second uncle has already trained the two ponies you wanted to ride."
When their father was mentioned, the siblings screamed with excitement.
"That's great! That's great!"
Huo Tiantian has long, elegant hair, but she loves exciting things. "Dad, when is our flight? Can we get it earlier? I can't wait any longer."
"Quiet down, be careful." Hosen knew that mentioning this news would cause an uproar between the two of them.
But thinking of what his wife had told him before she left, he silently repeated to himself that she was his child, his child.
However, compared to the two children's good mood, he was depressed.
"It's a pity that Mom went abroad on a business trip, otherwise our whole family could have gone to the grasslands."
"Yes, but Mom said she should be able to come back in time to spend the summer vacation with us."
"Hahaha~ Here I come to the grassland."
Hearing the siblings' conversation, Huo Sen felt even worse. When did his wife tell them this? He had clearly been clinging to her for quite a while, leaving her with hardly any free time.
Unable to figure it out for the time being, Hossen made a note of it.
He only turned and left after successfully escorting the two to the boarding gate.
After returning to work, I called home beforehand.
The person on the other end of the line was my second brother. "Second brother, the kids have already set off and will arrive around 4:50!"
Mu Ren nodded, "Don't worry, my sister-in-law will take care of things for me. You can go ahead and do your work!"
After hanging up the phone, Huo Sen silently took out a calendar from the table. Several circles were clearly marked on it, all indicating the time she left.
"28 days left!"
The siblings were like little dogs running wild when they arrived in Inner Mongolia.
They were picked up by their second uncle in his car, and the uncle and nephews drove off-road vehicles across the grassland.
Under blue skies, amidst white clouds and green grass, the excited siblings sang all the way.
"Ooh ooh ooh~"
"Aaaaaaah~"
Mu Ren happily cooperated, shouting and yelling along with the two of them, having a great time.
Until her throat tightened from shouting, she said, "Hey, you can't shout anymore. Your auntie gave you milk tea before you left, so drink a few sips."
"Hahaha, I've been thirsty for ages."
"Oh, little brother, let me drink first, I'm the older sister!"
Huo Kuangye didn't even try to snatch it, saying, "Shouldn't the younger brother drink first, older sister?"
She accepted her younger brother's gift with satisfaction and handed over the rest, saying, "In our family, Mom and Dad say that everything is decided by force!"
"Don't rush, don't rush, there's more over there. Sweetie's second uncle has another bottle."
Mu Ren casually pulled out a delicate little thermos from the side.
Huo Kuangye immediately understood that there was definitely something wrong with this.
"Second Uncle, are you favoring the one that's obviously for my sister?"
"Hehehe, thank you, Second Uncle. You're the best, Second Uncle." Huo Tiantian was very sweet-talking, which made the tall Mu Ren smile憨憨地. Then he opened the bottle and took a sip, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Yes, it has ice in it."
Huo Kuangye: "I knew it!"
......
Deng Mingzhu took her youngest son home and immediately started working in the kitchen.
Today is Friday, and the whole family will be coming back, so she needs to prepare meals for more than a dozen people in advance.
My parents-in-law are getting old, so their food needs to be cooked a little softer.
My sister-in-law likes spicy and strong-flavored food, so she specially bought a fish.
She was busy from the time she got out of school until 7:30 p.m., and only when she heard the lively chatter outside did she finally rub her limbs and sore back, feeling exhausted.
"Mom, I'm not saying this to be mean, but my sister-in-law really needs to practice her cooking skills. Jia Bao usually eats two bowls of rice at home, but this time she only ate a few bites and then stopped."
"Hey, your sister-in-law's cooking skills are really just so-so."
Deng Mingzhu, already fuming before even eating, clenched the rag in her hand.
Recalling the scenes she had witnessed during the day, tears welled up in her eyes.
Why is her life so miserable? Why should someone who was abandoned live the life she imagined, with such a good adoptive family, a good husband, and even twins?
Loin, Loin!
She muttered those two words with hatred and resentment.
Those two twin sisters who appeared deep in my memory.
What makes her, an orphan abandoned by her biological parents, better off than Deng Mingzhu?
It wasn't like this before. Before she was a teenager, she had everything going for her and was the only one who was loved. So how did she end up like this today?
Luo Yin was unaware that her older sister had already discovered her whereabouts through inquiries.
As for why they didn't recognize each other, perhaps she can guess the answer.
Aside from the food she still doesn't like, she's focusing all her energy on this archaeological work.
The purpose of this visit is to undertake a groundbreaking initiative.
It is said that archaeologists in Gaul discovered cultural relics in the wild that appear to have been left by extraterrestrial beings.
By then, the news had spread far and wide, and Loin became interested.
Regardless of whether they are genuine or not, the photos that were faxed over showed no signs of forgery after verification.
Having once followed Elder Chen in suppressing certain beings, the more she traveled across mountains and seas to various lost civilizations, the more she wanted to explore them.
When Mr. Chen passed away a few years ago, they handled all the funeral arrangements.
Many of the mourners were familiar faces from back then, and he was buried in a corner of Badaling according to his wishes.
Later, while packing his bags, he found a book that he had left for him.
It's a diary about him!
