Mibao set up a spatial passage for Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue returned to her front door through the spatial passage. It was quite late when she got back; the sunset was almost completely gone.
The earth was dimly lit, and people's shadows were indistinct.
Li Xiyue patted the large iron gate of the courtyard.
Upon hearing Li Xiyue's voice, Cheng Xiaohui hurriedly went out to open the door.
She smiled and said to her daughter, "You're finally back! I've cooked dinner and am just waiting for you to eat!"
Li Xiyue lowered her voice and asked her mother, "Mom, has my eldest cousin come back?!"
Cheng Xiaohui nodded and said, "You're back! You're chatting with your dad in the living room. He's asking her about things abroad."
Life abroad is so nice! I heard they live in villas. Every household has a telephone and a car!
Li Xiyue said, "Don't we also live in a small Western-style house?"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "How can that be the same? Our little house is dilapidated and small, while theirs is called... a villa!"
She even showed us photos; her villa is truly beautiful!
Her eyes revealed a look of envy.
No wonder she heard others say that foreign countries are paradise. Now it seems that life abroad is indeed much better than in China!
Li Xiyue put her arm around her mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, don't envy them. No one can compare to our family's life in the future!"
I'm going to make you the richest person in the world. From now on, all the servants in our house will have their own servants!
Cheng Xiaohui chuckled. She knew her daughter was joking. A maid could have a maid? What a wonderful life!
She smiled and said, "Okay, Mom will wait. Mom will try to live to be a hundred and live a good life."
Li Xiyue said, "Alright! Just you wait and see!"
She and her mother walked hand in hand into the living room, where a large table had already been set up, waiting for her return. Cheng Xiaohui brought the dishes to the table, and everyone could start eating.
Li Wenbo gestured for Li Xiyue to sit down and said to her, "Listen to your cousin tell you about things abroad! She says it's easy to find a job overseas."
"It's even easier for someone like you, a medical school graduate, to find a job abroad. You can get an international medical license, and then you can settle and work overseas!"
Seeing that his relatives were all living good lives, he also hoped that his daughter would have a good life too!
Li Xiyue said, "Why would I go abroad? I studied for so many years just so that one day I could serve my country."
I've learned a lot of skills, and now I'm working abroad. Didn't the country waste its time training me?!
Li Wenbo opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
Li Jiuqing chuckled and said, "Cousin, you're overthinking it! Knowledge knows no borders, and neither does serving the people! It's all about contributing to society, so it doesn't matter where you go!"
Li Xiyue smiled at Li Jiuqing and said, "Oh, it's all the same wherever you go? Then why don't people abroad come back to China to contribute to the country's development?"
"Aren't you the only one coming back from your family? Where are the rest of your family? Isn't it said that serving the people has no borders? Doesn't knowledge have no borders?!"
Li Jiuqing was speechless after being rebuked by Li Xiyue. It seems she really underestimated her cousin. That mouth of hers is too sharp, like a knife!
Mi Bao said in her space, "Hmph, no borders? If there are no borders, why don't we bring all the good things from abroad back to China!"
"Pah! Screw the 'no borders' nonsense! That's pure rubbish!"
Li Xiyue said, "Don't rush. Tonight, let's show them that art knows no borders!"
Honey was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the paintings in the museum!
It laughed and said, "Haha, finally it's time to make a move! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"
Li Xiyue said, "I've been waiting for a long time too. Tonight, the oil paintings that their museum has hidden in the underground vault should all be taken out and put back in their original display positions."
It's time to get started! I'll make all my oil paintings borderless!
Have you prepared all those fakes? Check them again to make sure they're indistinguishable from the real thing!
Mi Bao said, "Don't worry, I checked it many times. As long as they don't do a carbon-14 test, our fakes will be indistinguishable from the real thing to the naked eye!"
Li Xiyue said, "That's good! I'll have them hang our fakes on the booth themselves!"
She smiled sweetly, knowing that she could easily sell these oil paintings and upgrade her space to a higher level than Du Jingshan's space!
Thinking about this made her secretly excited!
Moreover, the money she earns can be used to purchase more weapons for their soldiers and support the country on the border battlefield!
Li Wenbo tried to smooth things over, saying, "Well... it's good to have the opportunity to travel abroad. 'Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles,' right? We can make a decision later!"
"Jiuqing, quickly try your aunt's sweet and sour pork ribs! Her sweet and sour pork ribs and braised fish are absolutely amazing!"
He served food to Li Jiuqing.
Li Jiuqing smiled and said, "Uncle, thank you for taking such good care of me. I will be going to work at the research institute in a few days."
Working at the research institute means living on-site, and I heard you won't get leave to go home for the Chinese New Year. I'll come see you then!
Li Wenbo said, "Okay, we're all family. This is your home. You can come back whenever you want!"
Li Xiyue picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and started eating them herself, then picked up a piece for her mother!
She completely ignored Li Jiuqing; she found the woman repulsive!
It was a disgust that emanated from the very core of her being. Although she had never met this woman in her past life, she felt a sense of familiarity with her, as if she had seen her in a past life!
Li Wenbo chatted with Li Jiuqing the whole time. After finishing her meal, Li Xiyue told her mother that she was tired and went back to her room to sleep.
Cheng Xiaohui thoughtfully boiled hot water for her daughter so she could wash up.
After washing up, Li Xiyue locked her bedroom door and immediately returned to her space. She asked Mi Bao to set up a spatial passage so they could go to the museum to harvest chives!
The exit of the passageway set up by Mibao is at a corner of the corridor on the second floor of the museum.
Li Xiyue came out of the corridor and stood on the second floor looking down. The ceiling here is so high that it goes all the way up to the third floor. Standing on the second floor, you can see not only the first floor but also the third floor.
What is night in their country is morning here.
The museum staff have already started work. The museum's renovation work has been completed, and today their job is to take out all the cultural relics that were stored in the underground vault and put them in their proper display positions.
Li Xiyue's X-ray vision penetrated the ground, allowing her to see the staff entering the underground vault.
She and Mi Bao sat on small stools, drinking soda and eating sunflower seeds, waiting for the staff to bring out the world-famous paintings.
All the world-famous paintings were placed in safes with levers, and staff members pulled the safes to each artifact's display area...
