After the fashion design competition ended, Yao Tongjia slept soundly for a whole day to recover. Since she was going to be a translator anyway, there was probably no need for her to use her skills, so she decided not to attend the meeting.
That day, Yao Tongjia was supposed to go to a fighter jet exhibition. She was woken up by Xiao Gengwu at six o'clock. When she came out after washing up, she found that Yao Yanxin was also there.
Yao Tongjia asked curiously, "Mom, aren't you supposed to be resting here today? Why are you up so early?"
"You're going out on a mission, and we don't know when you'll be back. Plus, the food outside isn't very good, so I got up early to make you breakfast!"
Yao Tongjia turned around and looked at the table full of food, and not far away, the embassy staff, whose mouths were all stuffed full.
Looking like a starving ghost, Yao Tongjia almost wondered if she was in a refugee camp rather than an embassy. A lot of food had already been packed for the staff.
There are still so many dishes here. Yao Tongjia couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her: "Mom, you have to get up at four o'clock, right?"
Yao Yanxin smiled and said, "It's almost done. Luckily, I ordered the vegetables yesterday. Some of them were even marinated. I just need to put them on to cook when I get up at four o'clock. You guys go out, I'm going to take a nap."
Yao Yanxin also felt a bit tired. She had been too excited about winning an award a couple of days ago and hadn't been sleeping well. She finally managed to get some sleep this morning, but now she had to get up early again.
Yao Tongjia looked at a large pot of braised pork and said, "I heard that the meat here is all frozen, not fresh. Can it really taste the same?"
"The taste is a bit different, but it's alright. Look how much they're enjoying their food, so I guess it's not too different!"
Yao Tongjia looked at the group of people wolfing down their food and almost laughed: "They probably haven't eaten in a long time!"
"It's been too long since I've had it. When I came here to participate in the competition, they didn't feel comfortable asking me to cook. Yesterday, I kept hearing the curator and others say that they were going crazy for braised pork and rice."
"But when they're at home, they're all tough guys who can't cook at all. The braised pork they make is supposedly black. They can only make noodles to eat!"
Braised pork turned into blackened braised pork? Yao Tongjia laughed unkindly, and He Jiayin's voice came from behind her: "Tongtong, what are you laughing at?"
When Yao Tongjia turned around, she saw that everyone had come out, all dressed in formal attire. They weren't exactly in suits and ties, but rather in white shirts, black trousers, and leather shoes.
Among these people, Xiao Gengwu was undoubtedly the most eye-catching. Yao Tongjia couldn't help but take a few more glances at her husband. He was so handsome! Yao Tongjia couldn't help but starry-eyed.
Xiao Gengwu almost laughed when Yao Tongjia looked at him, but then realized it was inappropriate for the occasion, so he went over and ruffled her hair. Yao Tongjia quickly backed away, saying, "I don't have time to comb my hair!"
Yao Yanxin quickly called out to everyone, "Come and eat! I made rice and braised pork!"
He Jiayin looked at the braised pork with some surprise: "I've never had braised pork before in a foreign country. Thank you, Aunt Yao!"
He Jiayin took the first bite of the braised pork, closed her eyes to savor it, and said, "This foreign braised pork tastes pretty good too. Everyone, eat up! After eating this braised pork, let's fight for whether we can eat meat freely in the future!"
Everyone was inspired: "After eating braised pork, let's give it our all!"
Everyone was happily eating braised pork. Yao Yanxin took a pair of chopsticks and served food to He Jiayin, Xiao Gengwu, and Yao Tongjia: "Eat quickly, we'll be leaving soon!"
After a hearty breakfast and getting ready, everyone headed to the venue full of energy. There were so many people there, with all sorts of languages mixed in, it was like a melting pot.
Yao Tongjia followed closely behind Professor Chen. Professor Chen not only didn't understand the language, but he also had no sense of direction. He Jiayin had just told her to stay close to Professor Chen and not to lose him!
There were a lot of people, but their venue was indeed quite large. After these people entered the venue, they all seemed to shrink!
In the vast expanse, there were rows and rows of fighter jets parked. To Yao Tongjia, these fighter jets looked exactly the same.
But judging from Professor Chen's trembling hands, these fighter jets must be quite different.
Just then, Xiao Gengwu came up with another professor, Zhu. The two professors started exchanging notes, with Professor Zhu taking notes in a notebook: "These fuselages are much thinner than previous fighter jets!"
Professor Chen was quite envious: "Not only is the fuselage thinner, but the key thing is that the wing is actually a delta wing. I really want to touch it!"
The young couple behind them were also discussing it. Yao Tongjia tugged at Xiao Gengwu's hand and asked, "I look the same, what's different?"
Xiao Gengwu explained to her: "The main parts of a fighter jet are nothing more than the fuselage, wings, tail, engine, weapon system, and cockpit."
"Based on the books I've recently read and my observation of our fighter jets, I think their fuselages are thinner, and the wings have become triangular. As for the engines and weapon systems, you can't tell from the outside!"
"If I could go in and sit for a bit, or watch them do it once, I think I'd understand what's going on!"
Yao Tongjia said regretfully, "There are so many people here, how could they possibly let us in to see?"
They say they're inviting everyone to see the exhibition, but in reality, they're only showing the exterior; they'd never let anyone see what's inside.
Yao Tongjia sighed, it seemed that He Jiayin's idea of learning from others had failed. In any case, the four of them still walked around the entire venue and looked at all the dozen or so fighter jets!
Professors Chen and Zhu were constantly taking notes, while Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu seemed to be there only to translate.
The two strolled hand in hand without any restraint. Back home, they would have to look around nervously if they wanted to hold hands, afraid of being seen, but here they had no such concerns.
Let this married couple also experience the sweetness of being in love!
During this time, the four of them ran into He Jiayin, who was frowning and presumably troubled about how to find an opportunity to go up and take a look. However, in Yao Tongjia's opinion, the chances of this happening were very slim!
Unexpectedly, the opportunity soon arrived, and someone started arguing with the people from the US: "You invited us to participate in the fighter jet exhibition, but all you did was show us the outside world. What's the point?"
Someone immediately chimed in: "Is it really that interesting to just walk around the outside of the fighter jet and keep staring at it? You have to show us that you're just putting old stuff in new bottles."
"Maybe you've only changed the exterior, but the engine and systems inside are all old? What kind of exhibition is this? It's all a lie!"
"It's a scam! We flew all this way just to see this little bit of stuff. I wish we hadn't come!"
When He Jiayin saw people causing trouble, her eyes lit up instantly. It was time to fish in troubled waters!
