Chapter 418 Encountering the Ke Family
418
When Mr. Qi heard Tang Yue say, "I have the Russian satellite," his calm face suddenly shifted to one of extreme shock. His eyes widened, and he leaned forward involuntarily, staring intently at Tang Yue, as if trying to confirm whether he had heard correctly.
"Comrade Xiao Tang, are you... telling the truth? Do you have the Russian satellite?" Mr. Qi's voice trembled. He could never have imagined that the little girl in front of him could actually bring back such an important satellite.
Tang Yue nodded seriously and said, "Mr. Qi, it's absolutely true. I came to you this time to hand over the satellite and contribute to the country."
Tang Yue seemed to have heard someone say that China had not yet launched a satellite.
Mr. Qi finally came to his senses. He stood up and paced back and forth in his office, his brow furrowed and his expression solemn. The importance of satellites to China is self-evident. Now that this satellite has suddenly appeared, and comes from a powerful country like the Soviet Union, it must be treated with caution and the most appropriate solution for its placement and utilization must be found.
"This... this is so important!" Mr. Qi muttered to himself as he paced back and forth, "We have to act immediately, without any delay." As he said that, he quickly walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and dialed a series of numbers.
"There is an important matter and we must hold a meeting immediately. Everyone must come as quickly as possible!" Mr. Qi didn't know who he was talking to, but his tone was very firm.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Qi turned to look at Tang Yue, his eyes filled with satisfaction. "Comrade Tang, you've made a great contribution this time! However, the placement and subsequent use of this satellite require careful planning."
Tang Yue nodded in understanding and said, "Mr. Qi, I understand. I will fully cooperate."
Tang Yue was a little confused. "Mr. Qi, don't you want to confirm with me? What if what I said is false?"
Mr. Qi's brain nearly froze as he worked, then he snapped out of it and laughed. "Comrade Xiao Tang, I believe you. Furthermore, according to reliable intelligence, the Russian satellite has indeed disappeared. I also heard that the satellite research base was razed to the ground. What?"
Tang Yue shrugged, "That wasn't me. It was one of their generals who thought the thieves might have used something to cover their bodies so they couldn't see them.
So they planted a ring of bombs around the base, ready to be detonated if the satellite disappeared. Many of their own people must have died."
Tang Yue still thought General Igorevich was quite stupid. Mr. Qi asked worriedly, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" The Russian bombs were quite powerful. Mr. Qi looked Tang Yue up and down.
"I'm fine. I'm doing fine. Oh, and by the way, seven of the people I brought back this time were brought back from the satellite base."
Mr. Qi smiled. He understood what Tang Yue meant. Of course, it would be best to have a familiar expert. Speaking of this, Mr. Qi remembered something.
"Comrade Xiao Tang, logically speaking, China should award you honors and merits for such an important matter. However, considering your current situation, China would rather protect you well."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just take the supercomputer and the warship as examples. Your merits have already raised you to the rank of General." Mr. Qi smiled at this. "Now, we really can't think of anything else to give you."
Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. So her secret military achievements had already reached the rank of general? Haha, then she was even more powerful than those division commanders.
Seeing the little girl's obvious happiness, Mr. Qi chuckled. After all, she was still a child, and her happiness was reflected on her face. But this also seemed more real.
Tang Yue thought this was pretty good. Just think of that old man, Division Commander Kang, who was so old when he finally became a division commander. How old was she? Haha, and now he's become a general. She thought it was pretty good.
"Mr. Qi, I don't have anything I want. Oh, by the way, you know there are two old men, one named Ke and the other named He. They used to be in the military, but now they've been sent down to farms in the Northeast."
Mr. Qi had heard about this matter before. "How do you know? Have you seen them?"
Tang Yue nodded, "After Nie Youyu's incident, his brother-in-law Lai Jiaxing and his family were also sent down. Lai Xiang and I are good friends, and I ran into her while I was there."
She wrinkled her nose. "Those two old people weren't having a good time. If I hadn't gone there that day, they would have frozen to death that night. Old Ke's leg was broken, and Old He couldn't move his waist. They both sat in a drafty cowshed, slowly waiting to die."
Mr. Qi's face looked unhappy, but Tang Yue didn't care what he thought. This movement had killed so many good people. She didn't want the things she had worked so hard to bring back to be taken advantage of by a group of ungrateful people.
Mr. Qi sighed, "Alas, the people below have misunderstood the meaning of the above, and now..."
Tang Yue didn't respond. She heard a sound coming from the gate outside and stood up. "Mr. Qi, you two should discuss this first. The Russian satellite base is built in a very open area. There's no obstruction on all sides, so any emergency can be discovered in time."
After saying that, he left. Mr. Qi was a little amused. Forget it, these people, who knows what they are thinking. It is better not to let the little girl show up.
After leaving Mr. Qi, Tang Yue wandered around the streets of Kyoto. Although Kyoto wasn't as well-developed as Japan or Russia, Tang Yue actually liked this style.
Well, she knew what she wanted. She had to get Mr. Qi to give her a few yards. Five, maybe. They couldn't be too far away. She'd live with her parents, and her brothers and Xiao Xixi would need houses when they got married.
While South Island was nice, she preferred the weather in Kyoto. It was settled.
Tang Yue strolled over to see the yard.
As she walked, she accidentally walked into an alley. At this time, many families had already gone to bed, but there was one family that was quite lively. She couldn't help but listen a few times.
"What? You still want us to worship you like a god? I tell you, that time is over. Do you know what you are now? A stray dog! Do you understand what a stray dog is?"
"You, who is the old Buddha?"
"Tsk! When Dad was home, who wouldn't have to serve you every day? How much housework have you ever done? You wait on others to serve you every day. And you still say you're not the Buddha."
"You, you speak so harshly."
"Am I speaking harshly? Haha, why don't you tell me what your old man did? Ah? Now if we go out, who can hold their heads up high? Ah? Ke Qiangguo was demoted because of that old man, did you know that? Why don't you just die?"
A woman's soft sobbing could be heard from inside the room, but the other woman's voice had not stopped.
"Cry, cry, cry! Are you crying for mourning? Who are you crying for? I'm telling you, no one will pity you. Besides, you don't deserve pity. You should have been sent down to the countryside with Ke Dazhi and died out there. What are you doing here? Huh?"
You're wasting our food. We don't even have enough to eat, and you're taking our food. Are you a human being? You're even taking your grandson's food."
It seemed like she was getting the hang of it when she said this. Tang Yue heard the hissing sound coming from the old woman.
Ke Dazhi? Ke Qiangguo? Tang Yue didn't know who these people were. But she had a bold guess: Could Ke Dazhi be Mr. Ke? What a coincidence? They'd run into each other right then?
Then? Isn't the woman being bullied inside her grandmother?
The woman endured the pain as she was twisted. "Ke Qiangguo, are you still my son? You, you...can't you just ask about your father's situation?"
"Go to hell with you? Inquiring? What are you inquiring about? Are you waiting for your son to be sent down with Ke Dazhi? Huh? How can you be so cruel?"
Tang Yue's consciousness had already entered this home. The woman who was cursing at the moment looked to be in her 30s and well-maintained, but her face was very mean. When she cursed, her eyes almost bulged out.
Looking at the scolded woman, she was pale and thin, with a hunched back. But no matter how the woman scolded her, she always looked stubbornly at the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa with his head down.
The middle-aged man said nothing and let his wife curse his mother all over, and pinch her from time to time.
