Chapter 124 Chapter 124 [Extra 2]
Luo Yin opened it and saw that the first thing she saw was the year 35 of the Republic of China.
That translates to 1946, when Mr. Chen was still a teenager.
As she read on, she was surprised to discover that it was written by him when he was a teenager about each of his feng shui trips.
There was his surprise and shock at first encountering the mysteries of Feng Shui, his frustration at having no way to learn despite his eagerness to study, and his pride in joining the army to end this turbulent era.
Then came the founding of the People's Republic of China.
He witnessed the rise of a new dragon vein!
Then, he suddenly passed away and began his academic journey anew.
Loin treasured it very carefully, taking a few pictures with his camera after each page to keep as a memento.
She read very slowly, allowing herself to read only one page almost every month.
She still remembers the contents. After all these years, she has finally seen the memories of herself and Hosen.
Their paths first crossed on the grasslands.
At that time, Luo Yin had not yet met Old Chen. She thought that the first time she met him was with that little old man in the trading city.
But as she read through the diary, she discovered that it wasn't at that time.
She first met Mr. Chen when she was three years old.
On that train journey from Shanghai to Inner Mongolia, she, who was still a teenager at the time, was actually calculated by him once.
His eyesight was still good at the time, so he noticed at a glance that her luck was extraordinary, and after a simple calculation, he found that she was indeed remarkable.
As for the questions that Luo Yin couldn't understand back then, she has gradually stopped thinking about them as she's grown older.
Perhaps it's because I've reached an age where I can understand things, or perhaps it's because none of these things matter anymore.
When Loin arrived in Gaul, he discovered that, apart from the so-called alien photos, many of the remaining skeletal remains at the scene were not carbon-based organisms after testing.
However, we unexpectedly discovered several ancient fossil-like objects.
However, since she was already there, she decided to take the opportunity to find another deep-sea archaeology expert and talk to him about the most advanced deep-sea exploration instrument project.
This is a technological achievement that is currently attracting a lot of international attention.
It is said that the United States spent a huge amount of US dollars to build this device, which can accurately detect the deposits of seabed mud tens of thousands of feet below the surface.
Loin was eager to bring these devices to the country, but he could tell from the tone of her voice that there were obstacles.
Like the deep-sea expedition she participated in before, the reason she worked so hard was not only to train a new batch of promising athletes, but also, and most importantly, to exchange benefits.
We helped with the collaboration free of charge, and they paid for the replacement equipment for us to try out.
Luo Yin knew that there was still room for development, but if we could make society progress even a little bit through our individual efforts, it would be a giant leap for human civilization.
"I'm sorry, Luo, as you know, those departments have very strict controls, and there's nothing I can do about it."
“I understand, Professor James. We’ll deal with this later.”
"However, I hope we can continue to cooperate."
"Of course, it's a pleasure to do business with you!"
The plan to return home was brought forward by a week. Luo Yin and her team bid farewell to the French government and quickly boarded a flight back home.
By the time we arrived in China, autumn had already fallen in the capital.
The group disembarked, dusty and tired, and saw their familiar car parked there as soon as they reached the exit station.
"Captain Luo, your family has come to pick you up."
"You guys get in the car first, I'll be right there." Luo Yin gestured for them to go ahead, then quickly walked towards the man.
Hosen stepped forward and caught her.
"Why are you running? Aren't you afraid of falling?"
Luo Yin smiled, noticing that he didn't look too well. "What's wrong? You haven't been home lately, have you? You've been working overtime."
Hosen stiffened. "No, I just took care of some things. Can't you go home yet?"
He took the initiative to retrieve the luggage, and upon feeling its weight, he knew there was a lot of stuff inside.
She raised an eyebrow at him, having already told him not to come pick her up, "Not yet, I have to hand in the documents I have on hand. You can go home and wait."
"It's okay, I'll leave work early today and cook you something delicious to help you recover. You haven't eaten much this past month, have you?" Huo Sen felt sorry for his wife, but apart from providing her with logistical support, there didn't seem to be much else he could do.
"Okay, I trust your skills. I'll be going now. Oh, and there's a gift I bought for you inside."
"Okay, be careful on your journey!"
This time, Hosen's face and eyes showed the same smile as the siblings.
It's strange, though Huo Tiantian and Huo Kuangye's facial features don't make up a large proportion, yet people can tell at a glance that this is his child.
Luo Yin heard many people say that the siblings' eyes were exactly the same as their father's as their eyes.
At first she didn’t think so, but as they opened their eyes and saw their almost identical eye shapes and contours, Luo Yin confirmed it!
Looking back on her time with him, she still feels a sense of unease from time to time.
Because it was so sudden and unexpected; Hossen had clearly been planning this all along, subtly and gradually boiling her like a frog in slowly boiling water.
Although she was quite aware of his feelings, he didn't say anything, and she didn't want to reject him directly.
He thought this was a tacit agreement, but he simply excluded her first and instead won over and appeased the rest of the family. At this time, she was admitted to the archaeology department in the capital.
Because of his studies, his family had more contact with him.
Luo Yin would occasionally go out to eat with him, and gradually, the letters and things sent to her from home were all sent to him.
When I'm busy, I ask him to send some gifts and bonuses home.
Looking back, Luo Yin didn't know where she got the courage to trust him so much.
Perhaps it was the accumulation of time spent together and the experiences they shared that gave them the opportunity to understand each other. Luo Yin officially married him in her second year of graduate school and starting work.
She was 24 years old that year, and Hossen was 31!
She didn't know how he had managed to stay single all these years; the idea of his family pressuring him to get married had never reached her.
She remains busy, and in addition to participating in field archaeology projects every year, she will take a month off to return to the grasslands to spend time with her family.
As Ani gets older, her hair gradually turns gray.
Since the family renovated their house, Ani was the first to fall in love with it.
The original yurt was replaced with a sturdy brick house, and a warm kang (heated brick bed) was specially made for him inside.
Ani liked to lie on it and sleep, listening to storytelling on the radio.
Life after marriage was better than before. After Luo Yin started working, she and he discussed buying a house near their workplaces.
Besides the share of real estate and gold that Ani had given her years ago, Luo Yin also had a considerable amount of project bonuses and wages accumulated over the years. Since he also gave her his salary, the two quickly settled into a comfortable life.
Huo Sen, in his thirties, finally got married, and Qin Juan was overjoyed.
Not only did she not act like a mother-in-law at all, but she also deliberately avoided the young couple, hoping that they would be affectionate and live a good life together.
As expected, without interference from elders, they received good news very quickly, just six months after the wedding.
Loin had no resistance to the idea of getting pregnant.
It's a pity that I couldn't participate in the final step of the project I signed up for this year.
When Hossen heard that he was going to be a father, he was so happy that he cried tears of joy.
When he accompanied her to the hospital for a checkup and discovered that she was a twin, this steely man's eyes turned bloodshot again.
"Honey, I'm so happy!"
"You're carrying twins, won't it be tough ahead? Maybe..."
Luo Yin pricked up her ears to listen, "Or what?"
"I don't think it's a big deal, but I'm making it clear beforehand that I have no experience taking care of the baby by myself after the baby is born. I need to get back to work after that."
She is at a crucial time right now. Although she is on maternity leave, raising two little ones will definitely take a lot of effort.
Furthermore, my parents are getting old, and they can't offer much help from their side anymore.
“I understand. Don’t worry, I’ve been transferred to a different position now, so I can spend more time taking care of you and the children. As for the two girls, I will study hard and try my best to raise them well.”
"Alright, then I'll leave the rest to you."
Luo Yin patted him, "Alright, I'm starving, let's go back and eat."
Hosen, clumsy and awkward, was being pulled along by his wife. After taking only a few steps, his mind finally came to its senses.
"Mom said we need to go home!"
"Let's go then! It's been so long since I've had Mom's cooking, I'm really craving it!"
The days that followed were exactly as Luo Yin had predicted.
Huo Sen not only consulted with the elders of both families beforehand on how to take care of the baby, but also went to Xia Mingjiang's second son's 100-day celebration to learn how to hold the baby.
Luo Yin was too far along in her pregnancy to go out, so she didn't go.
Later, when Xia Ge complained that Huo Sen almost got into a fight with him when he tried his hand at fighting with his daughter, Xia Ge said that Huo Sen almost got into a fight with him.
"Haha, you should really call him, he's too audacious."
Xia Mingjiang glanced at her pregnant belly and nervously swallowed. "Luo Yin, why don't you go back to the station first? It's fine if I'm short-staffed, but if something happens to you, I'm afraid I'll be the one who gets beaten up."
Today, while they were on fieldwork, they discovered a tomb near a mountain village on the outer ring road.
Originally, there was no need for Luo Yin, but all the researchers in the institute who were specifically assigned to this field had been transferred.
The weather bureau said it would rain in the next few days, and these exposed areas needed to be rescued immediately. The director personally found her and talked to her about it.
Luo Yin immediately agreed, and the director even transferred two newly hired young people to work next to her.
"Remember, Comrade Luo's safety is the top priority."
"Evacuate immediately in case of any emergency!"
"We understand, Director."
Luo Yin skillfully and gracefully placed the artifacts away, leaving Xiao Xu starry-eyed.
What amazing technique! Not a single movement wasted!
Xia Mingjiang couldn't help but praise, "Your skills are getting better and better."
"Haha, practice makes perfect~" Luo Yin had just finished speaking when she suddenly felt something was wrong in her lower abdomen.
She slowly put down her tools and turned to Xiao Xu, "Comrade Xiao Xu, please take me to the nearest hospital, I'm about to give birth!"
Ah~
"ah!"
"ah--"
......
"Mom and Dad, so where did my brother's and my names come from?"
The girl with her hair in a small ponytail hugged Huo Sen's fingers, while a boy who looked about 70-80% like her lay on the other side.
"Yes, yes, me too!"
“Your mother said that you were conceived during her field research, so let’s take the name from the field. Since your older sister was born first, she will be called Huo Tiantian. And since you are a boy, you will be called Ye. Since single characters don’t sound good, let’s just call you Kuangye.”
