Chapter 433 Return to South Island
433
Tang Yue arrived at the satellite research base, where the people were working furiously. Their car was stopped by soldiers on duty before they were quite far away. Commander Huang's military vehicle quickly arrived.
After seeing the people in the car clearly, a look of shock flashed across Commander Huang's eyes, and he quickly let them go.
When they got closer, Mr. Qi got out of the car and Commander Huang immediately stepped forward. "Sir, what brought you here? And you were talking to Secretary Tian..."
Without saying anything else, he watched the little girl come down from the other side. Commander Huang swallowed his words back. Then he burst into laughter, "Ah, Comrade Xiao Tang, we meet again."
After Tang Yue saluted Commander Huang, she saw a completed research base. She walked straight over. No one was inside, so she laid out everything, just like a Russian satellite base, including the already installed satellite.
There are still several rooms with things that have not been released.
"Commander Huang, how long will it take for the rest to be built?"
Commander Huang checked the time. "At least an hour." Tang Yue nodded. Then they'd wait.
Mr. Qi, Secretary Tian, and Commander Huang entered the research base together. When they saw the well-packaged satellites on the ground, their eyes were red. Tang Yue followed behind.
"This is the satellite that Russia is preparing to launch recently. I think China should be able to build a satellite that is more complete than this one."
Mr. Qi nodded solemnly, "I will."
Commander Huang and Secretary Tian also understood Tang Yue's meaning and agreed. China needed to grow, not simply copy.
Then everyone's attention turned to the various sophisticated machines and supercomputers. They were thrilled. Russia had so many great things. Haha, let's see if they'll impose a technological blockade on China this time.
It was already 6pm when Tang Yue left. After safely escorting Mr. Qi back to his office, Mr. Qi handed Tang Yue a soft sleeper ticket to South Island. "Little girl, the country thanks you, and I'm very grateful to you too. There's no more room for advancement in your military rank and level."
But we really want to give you the best that China can give you. Do you think there is anything you want?"
Tang Yue: "I really like the courtyard houses in Kyoto. Give me six."
Without taking the ticket from Mr. Qi, she said, "Sir, I'm in a hurry, so I won't take the train. Please ask someone to refund the ticket, don't waste it. I'm leaving now, please take care of yourself."
Before Mr. Qi could come to his senses, Tang Yue had already left. She was now very anxious to go home. After leaving the compound, Tang Yue immediately turned invisible and flew away on her sword.
Secretary Tian entered Mr. Qi's office and said, "Sir, the little girl is gone."
Mr. Qi sat on the chair and said, "This child has done so much for China, and yet she wants six courtyards in Kyoto. Don't you think that's too little?"
Secretary Tian hadn't expected Comrade Xiao Tang to ask for something so plain and simple. "Maybe they've been here all this time and haven't had anywhere to stay, so they want a home of their own. Plus, they have four older brothers, so there should be another house for their parents."
Mr. Qi smiled. How could he not understand? "Hey, what a good kid. Then pick out a place nearby. Not too far away, not too small a yard. Once you find the right one, take care of it."
"The young comrade didn't ask for anything, so we can't just let her down. She deserves the best of China."
"Yes! The people of the whole country should thank her! Comrade Xiao Tang's contribution is truly beyond reproach."
Mr. Qi nodded, a smile on his face. "The most important thing is that she's patriotic. In fact, she doesn't have to take these things out at all. By the way, has someone started counting them? There must be no markings on the supplies."
"Don't worry, sir. We're already taking care of it. The most important thing is those machines. Our people can't even repair them, let alone upgrade them."
Secretary Tian was right. This problem was difficult to solve, but no matter how difficult it was, they had to solve it themselves.
"We have to find a way. Right now, we don't just have samples, we don't even know how many production lines we have. Even if we have to dismantle one or two machines for study, we have to make sure their own machinery factory understands it."
"Yes, oh, by the way, Comrade Xiao Tang also brought back a lot of books. She didn't put them with the supplies, but put them in the guesthouse. She told me that just now when I sent her out.
She said that knowledge knows no borders. If you want to catch up, or even surpass others, you should work in isolation—no way!
"Why!"
Tang Yue was very quick, as she couldn't wait to see her mother. In less than half an hour, she was standing at the gate of the South Island Corps.
The soldier on duty was new and didn't know Tang Yue.
"Little boy, who are you looking for? Please come over and register."
Tang Yue......
Tang Yue walked over, pulled her officer ID from her pocket, and handed it over. The soldier's eyes nearly popped out of his head. They'd heard about a five-year-old company commander in their unit since their first day, but they never imagined it would be the little girl before them.
The soldier quickly saluted Tang Yue, "Hello, Captain Tang!"
Tang Yue returned the greeting, "Can I come in?"
"Yes! Welcome home, Captain Xiao Tang!"
For a moment, Tang Yue felt warm in her heart.
Everyone had just finished dinner at this time, but the Chinese New Year was approaching, and even in the middle of winter, there were still quite a few people standing in the family compound.
When the aunties and ladies saw Tang Yue coming back, they greeted her one after another. Tang Yue responded while walking home.
Lin Cuicui and Old Li had just finished their meal when they heard a commotion outside the courtyard. "I wonder what's going on out there again."
Old Li had just finished packing up his things. "Don't worry about it. I wonder which two nagging women are fighting again. They have a small quarrel every two days and a big quarrel every five days. I'm used to it."
Lin Cuicui chuckled. The family compound was actually no different from the village. The qualities of these military wives were also different. Some married city girls, while others were from the countryside. Regardless of where they were from, they all had different ideas and would argue at the slightest provocation.
This was the first time that Lin Cuicui smiled during this period. Old Li sighed inwardly, "Third brother, you must fight for your life and come back alive."
Lin Cuicui stood at the door and looked outside. Why did it not sound like a quarrel to her? It seemed like there was also her daughter's voice?
Lin Cuicui suddenly lost her composure and ran out holding Xixi.
When she ran out of the door, she happened to see Tang Yue coming in. Seeing that it was really her daughter standing in front of her, Lin Cuicui immediately squatted down excitedly and hugged her daughter in her arms. "Woo woo, my daughter is back."
The group of sisters-in-law and aunties who followed her were originally chattering and wanted to say a few more words, but when they saw Lin Cuicui's sad look, they didn't know how to persuade her and left silently.
Tang Yue stretched out her little arms and gently patted Lin Cuicui's back, "Mom, I'm back. Don't worry."
How could Lin Cuicui not be worried? Everyone else had returned, only to find out her daughter had disappeared at the border. Later, she heard that things were being lost in Russia all the time, and she realized her daughter must have gone there.
But, that's Russia. Her daughter just went there by herself?
When Old Li heard his granddaughter's voice, he hurried out and stood aside with a grin on his face.
Lin Cuicui quickly adjusted her mood. She let go of Tang Yue and asked, "Daughter, have you eaten?"
Tang Yue quickly shook her head and touched her stomach exaggeratedly, "Oh, Mom, I'm starving."
Lin Cuicui quickly stuffed Xixi to Old Li and said, "Dad, take care of Xixi for a while. I'm going to go cook for Yueyue."
"Oh, okay."
"Grandpa, I'm back."
"Oh, good! I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!" Old Li choked up a little. They must be worried about this kid at home.
Tang Yue looked at Xixi. This boy was growing up very fast. He stared at Tang Yue for a long time with his big grape-like eyes and then smiled at her foolishly.
Tang Yue poked his little face in disdain, "Don't you recognize me again? You're still laughing foolishly. Do you listen to me at home?"
Tang Xi seemed very happy that his sister was talking to him. His little arms were stretched out from the bundle, his legs kept kicking, and he was giggling something.
Tang Yue felt soft in her heart. Her brother was so nice! But she still said with disdain, "It's almost seven months already, right? You're already a little adult, why don't you learn to talk quickly? Come, learn from me and call me sister, sister~"
Old Li sat on the stone bench, laughing uncontrollably. After teasing Xiao Xixi for a while, Tang Yue went to the kitchen.
