"Brother Lan, where are we going?"
Stepping onto familiar land once again, unlike the last time when they were blindfolded, this time they witnessed firsthand how the strait was crossed.
"Take Rou Rou to Kyoto. Someone there will meet you. I have things to take care of here to prevent your whereabouts from being discovered. The tickets have already been bought. We'll leave tonight."
Lan Ge handed a bag to Shen Xianjun.
After several tests, Brother Lan completely trusted Shen Xianjun, and with Rou Rou keeping him in check, he believed that Shen Xianjun would do as he was told.
This sabotage mission is extremely important. If he manages to disrupt the National Day military parade in the mainland, he will definitely be rewarded by the higher-ups, and he will no longer need to live in anonymity.
The research institute's staff quarters
"Mom, don't take Da Bao and Er Bao out recently. I may not be able to come home for a while. I've already taken care of the arrangements for Da Bao and Er Bao to go to the orphanage. We can send the children there on August 10th. It will be easier for you to stay at home then. I've set aside some money for household expenses. You can decide how to spend it."
After dinner, Qin Nian spoke very seriously to Yang Yufen.
"I'm going to be busy with work. I've just gained some weight. Don't worry, I'll take good care of the baby. I've noted it down. Please bring some extra clothes and daily necessities. Do you need me to help you pack?"
Yang Yufen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that her daughter-in-law was busy; she wouldn't run into her while she was busy.
It wasn't that she didn't want to help her son, but rather that it wasn't appropriate for her to help before she understood the situation, lest she make things worse.
"No need, I can pack my things myself. Pack some of Mom's pickles for me, I love Mom's pickles."
Qin Nian made a small request.
"good."
Early the next morning, Qin Nian left with her things, before the two children woke up.
The two children didn't think much of it when they woke up and didn't see their mother, but when it was time for bed and they still hadn't seen her, they started crying.
Yang Yufen coaxed the child for a while, and the child, exhausted from crying, fell asleep without realizing it.
It took the child three days to gradually get used to it and regain his energy.
"Hey sis, did you hear? The military parade will be broadcast on TV this year. You're so lucky to have a TV at home. These days, TV tickets are incredibly hard to come by, and even if you have one, you might not be able to get one!"
Under the big banyan tree, people gathered together to chat and take care of their children.
"That's a major event that the whole country is celebrating. Besides, we're right here in Kyoto. Others can only watch it on TV from afar. It's not as good as us being able to see it live right here!"
Yang Yufen responded with a smile.
"That's true. I heard the positions will be assigned. I wonder where I'll be able to stand and watch. It'll be a worthwhile experience in this lifetime. I heard that this parade will showcase a lot of weapons and equipment. We're no longer just being bullied by others!"
"Yes, yes, yes, being able to see it with my own eyes means I can die with a smile on my face!"
"Our older generation suffered so much. They sacrificed countless lives to get to where we are today, with millet and rifles. The good life we have now is hard-won."
Yang Yufen nodded as well.
"Hey, do you think there might be enemy agents trying to sabotage this big day? I think so. My wife Niannian told me not to take the kids out during this time. Is she afraid someone might try to find out something from us? What if things go wrong?"
