Everyone's applause also infected Luo Qiao, who thought that she must cherish this learning opportunity and learn more.
When I arrived at the airport, I still had plenty of time. I got my boarding pass, checked in my luggage, went through security, and then entered the waiting room.
Everyone was a little excited. The twelve people introduced themselves and the universities they attended one by one. Only one boy named Zhang Jing went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which was not far away. The others were not in the same state as them.
It was soon time to board the plane. Luo Qiao glanced outside unintentionally and saw Lu Yichen and her second brother Luo Xuyuan looking at her from afar. As they were about to board the plane, she couldn't leave the team, so she used sign language to say "I love you" and then made a heart above her head.
What was unexpected was that this scene was captured by a reporter, and the next day this friendly scene appeared in the newspaper. However, the angle of the photo made it difficult for anyone who was not familiar with the photo to recognize that it was Luo Qiao, because her face was not captured clearly.
~~~~~ Watching the plane soaring into the sky, Lu Yichen's heart flew away with it. Luo Xuyuan patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go. The plane is gone. Don't you have important things to do?"
The two got in the car and returned to the city. Lu Yichen first went back to the Gu family and told his grandfather and aunt about the matter, telling them that it was only necessary for them to know about it among themselves and not to spread it outside.
In the morning, the couple had discussed it with Uncle Rong and Aunt Rong. The old couple had no objection, but they were afraid that the language barrier would hold Luo Qiao back. Later, when they found out that He Qing knew foreign languages and would go with them, they no longer had any objection.
Uncle Rong thought that he would be away for two or three years and couldn't bear to leave the garden behind him. Later, when he heard Luo Qiao say that he could come back every year, he was very happy. But before he could show his joy for a while, he thought about how expensive the air tickets were and became depressed again.
Lu Yichen thought of the scene in the morning. The expression on Uncle Rong's face changed so quickly in a short while that he couldn't help but laugh. It was really 'cute'.
He acted quite quickly and prepared all the materials that could be prepared in advance, and handed over the rest to his elder brother Lu Yixuan, because they had received a notice that their staff had gathered and would undergo a week of closed training before going abroad directly.
Everything has been arranged domestically, and someone will take them to the plane when the time comes.
I took advantage of the last bit of time to talk a lot with Yanyan and Yueyue, and taught my daughters a lot of things without exposing the mission.
For example, if they meet their father on the street and he doesn’t say hello, they cannot call him “Dad” directly. It is very likely that he is on a mission. If his identity is exposed, it will be very dangerous and they will also feel unsafe. Then his father will secretly go to find them. Of course, these are all told in the form of stories, but the two children listened very carefully.
Finally, I said, Dad won’t be able to send you on the plane in a few days because Dad has to go catch the bad guys. Remember the story Dad just told you.
~~~~~~~ Luo Qiao and her group first flew to San Francisco and then to New York. Some students who were going to the University of California and Stanford University got off the plane in San Francisco. Because they had contacted them in advance, consulate staff would come to pick them up.
Fortunately, New York is not far from Boston, so they got off the plane and were taken to the hotel to check in.
As soon as Luo Qiao arrived at the hotel, she called home: "Hello, Aunt Rong, I just got off the plane and arrived at the hotel. Yes, I won't arrive in Boston until tomorrow. How are the two little ones?"
"It's fine. Don't worry. They are all good kids. They said at dinner last night that they would be good and obedient and not let you worry. Oh, by the way, Yichen also accepted the task, but he has done everything that needs to be done here. He said he is just waiting for you to submit the application."
