"I..." Su Qingyun suddenly felt her throat tighten. She had a thousand words to say, but at this moment, she didn't know what to say to face the deep affection.
"No need to say anything." Ji Yue smiled and stopped her. "I know you will come back, so I will wait. Besides, I won't stay in the same place forever."
“We move forward together. Even if the roads diverge, we will eventually meet at some point. This may be the meaning of separation and waiting.”
Su Qingyun looked at his smile and suddenly recalled the first time she saw him. The young man in white shirt and black pants had a tall figure, handsome eyebrows, and clear black eyes. He walked towards her slowly.
Just like now, he is standing in front of her, still the same as before. Times and circumstances have changed, but their original intentions have not changed.
"Okay, let's work together." Su Qingyun nodded heavily.
Ji Yue smiled, looked at the gradually crowded crowd, and said softly: "The car is here, let's go."
"Um."
When the family saw the car coming, they came over and helped Su Qingyun put her luggage in the car.
"Grandma, grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, uncle, and Ayue." Su Qingyun called out to everyone one by one, "I'm leaving. Take care of yourselves and wait for me to come back."
"good."
"Go quickly."
Watching Su Qingyun get on the car, Qin Ying's eyes turned red. Wu Guixiang turned her back to wipe away her tears. Su Aimin sighed, patted their shoulders, one on each side, and comforted them, "It's okay. Yunyun is gone, but I'm still here."
"What use are you having?"
"What's the use of you?"
The two women said in unison, one with tears in her eyes and the other with a look of disgust.
Su Aimin: “…”Okay, okay, is that right?
Qin Xun couldn't help laughing, "Okay, let's go."
"Okay." Although they agreed verbally, none of them took a step forward.
They left reluctantly until the whistle sounded, the train gradually moved away, and the green hour disappeared in front of them.
Su Qingyun leaned against the window. Outside the window, the river meandered, the green mountains flew by, the train rumbled forward, and there was a noisy sound in his ears.
She smiled softly. Everyone was heading for their own distant place, including her.
The destination of this trip is Suzhou Satellite Launch Center.
The Suzhou Satellite Launch Center is not located in Suzhou, but in the Badain Jaran Desert in Saibei Inner Mongolia Province.
When the missile and satellite launch sites were built, it was during the Cold War period, and relations between countries were tense. In order to maintain confidentiality, many countries avoided their real addresses when naming their missile and satellite launch sites.
The same is true for China, therefore, the Suzhou Satellite Launch Center is not in Suzhou.
The train continued to move forward, carrying people to distant places. When Su Qingyun arrived at the Badain Jaran Desert, exhausted, he saw only yellow sand all over the sky.
And in the heart of this desert, a secret base stands.
Su Qingyun looked around with a calm gaze. She knew that this unknown place carried the expectations and gazes of generations, and also witnessed countless glory and honor.
This is also her new starting point. She took a step forward and strode towards her future.
"Name?"
"Su Qingyun."
"age?"
"Twenty."
"level?"
"Assistant Researcher."
Su Qingyun answered every question seriously.
The man who was looking through Su Qingyun's ID suddenly relaxed his serious expression. He smiled and extended his hand. "Comrade Su Qingyun, on behalf of the launch center, I welcome you."
"Thank you." Su Qingyun stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.
"I'm Zhao Li from the Institute of Space Technology. You can just call me Director Zhao. I'm also one of the main persons in charge of the satellite research and development project."
"Are you Chief Zhao?" Su Qingyun was a little surprised. "Thank you for taking a liking to me. It gave me the opportunity to come here."
Zhao Li smiled brightly, "No need to thank me, on the contrary, I should thank Chief Gu for recommending someone like you to me."
"You're too kind." Su Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled.
"Don't be modest. I know the projects you've been involved in before, and you were instrumental in the successful completion of the J-8 project. Everyone praises you highly. Even if Chief Engineer Gu doesn't recommend you, I might come knocking on your door any day."
"However, Comrade Su Qingyun, the conditions here are not comparable to those in the capital." Zhao Li warned her in advance, "The environment here is rather harsh, and life is not convenient. Scientific research is also very arduous and difficult, and you will be far away from family and friends. I hope you can be mentally prepared for a long-term battle."
"Don't worry, Chief Zhao, since I'm here, I'm mentally prepared." Su Qingyun smiled generously and confidently.
"That's good." Zhao Li nodded. "Then I'll give you a day to rest and adapt to the surrounding environment and life here, and then get back to work as soon as possible. Is that okay?"
"Yes!" Su Qingyun nodded firmly and answered decisively.
Zhao Li smiled with satisfaction. It turned out to be a good candidate.
It only took Su Qingyun one morning to get to know the surrounding situation. This place is located in the vast Gobi Desert, with a sparse population, flat and vast terrain, and few geological disasters. It is an ideal natural place for space launch activities.
She stood on the observation deck, the wind was blowing, and she looked up, with a panoramic view of the entire base. From here, dozens of satellites, Shenzhou series spacecraft, and Sky Space Laboratory were launched, sending many astronauts into space.
This is a testing ground for scientific researchers, reflecting the development trajectory of China's aerospace industry.
And now, she has become a part of this place.
——————
The day after Su Qingyun left, Su Aimin sent his mother on the train back home.
"Xiao Ji, please take care of me along the way." He asked Ji Yue who was traveling with Wu Guixiang.
Ji Yue said seriously: "Okay, uncle, don't worry, this is what I should do."
"I can run and jump, who do I need to take care of me?" Wu Guixiang waved her hand nonchalantly, "Alright, alright, go back quickly and don't delay making money."
"Okay, okay, I'll make more money so you can enjoy a good life in the future." Su Aimin had no choice but to agree.
"I am enjoying myself now. I want you to earn more dowry for Yunyun."
"I know, I know." Su Aimin looked up at the sky. His mother really wanted to remind him eight hundred times a day.
Dowry? Chen Mu, who was standing beside him, winked at Ji Yue with a wicked smile on his face.
Ji Yue gave him a warning look, telling him not to say anything more. Chen Mu immediately made a zipper-like gesture to seal his mouth.
"Go back quickly." Wu Guixiang waved to Su Aimin again.
"Okay, Mom, be careful." Su Aimin said, "Aying and I will go back when the winter vacation starts."
"knew."
Su Aimin stood on the platform, watching the train gradually go away, and sighed deeply. Life seemed to be one farewell after another.
