No one from the Xu family came to hold Luo Yan accountable for damaging Xu Yuan's watch. This was the outcome Luo Yan had anticipated, and they dared not make a fuss.
Xu Yuan suffered a great loss and dared not come to Xiao Xiu again. She sat in a chair and sobbed all afternoon.
Hua Li came to pick up the two little ones after get off work when suddenly a chubby little girl ran over to her and complained.
"Auntie, your daughter Yanyan broke my watch, you have to pay for it."
Hua Li recognized Xu Yuan as Old Xu's granddaughter and her gaze fell on the watch in Xu Yuan's hand.
The watch face was completely shattered, and judging from the strap, it looked like a Casio digital watch that cost three hundred yuan. Hua Li waved his hand and called Luo Yan over.
"Did you break it?" Hua Li asked Luo Yan.
Xiao Xiu tried to explain, but Luo Yan slapped her, telling her not to say anything.
Luo Yan nodded.
Hua Li said, "Okay, I can compensate you on Luo Yan's behalf, but I need to talk to your parents."
At this moment, Xu's aunt came to pick up Xu Yuan, and Hua Li immediately asked the aunt how much the watch cost.
Aunt Xu had already been instructed by the Xu family, so she quickly said no need.
Xiao Xiu was still wondering how he would repay such a large sum of money if Hua Li lost the watch, but to his surprise, the Xu family didn't want it at all, which left Xiao Xiu completely bewildered.
Hua Li put Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu into the child seats of the bicycle, got on the bike, and rode home.
When they got home, Hua Li told Sun Bailing what had happened, and Sun Bailing said...
"That watch was a gift from one of Old Master Xu's old subordinates. Old Master Xu didn't allow him to accept it, but Xu Yuan secretly accepted it."
By the time the family found out, the person who delivered the watch had already left, so there was no way to return it. Xu Yuan could keep it from Old Master Xu, but if Old Master Xu found out, things would get really bad.
Xu Yuan's father just spoke to me and told us not to mention this again. He also told you, Yan Yan, and Xiao Xiu not to take it to heart, and to just pretend it never happened.
She had thought someone in the Xu family had embezzled the money, but it turned out it was a gift from someone else. Listening from the side, Luo Yan sighed at her own narrow-mindedness.
During dinner, Luo Shicheng called to say he would be eating with Chen Yuanshan in the canteen and wouldn't be coming back. Sun Bailing ordered, "You must come back."
Not long after hanging up the phone, Luo Shicheng returned with Chen Yuanshan, and they sat down to eat together.
After dinner, Sun Bailing asked everyone to watch the news broadcast with him.
Luo Yan remembered that her grandmother had said last night that she had to come back tonight, probably because it was related to the news broadcast. She sat obediently in Hua Li's arms and watched.
"Returned overseas Chinese donated ten aircraft to support my country's aviation industry. To commemorate their reunion with their motherland and families, they were named Huayan No. 1 through No. 10..."
Is Hua Yan the same as Hua Li Jia Luo Yan?
Hua Li grabbed Shen Suyin's hand in disbelief, "Mom, did you donate it?"
Shen Suyin hummed softly, "This is a gift from your mother. I'll see who dares to bully you now."
Those people spread rumors about Hua Li because they think she's the daughter of a capitalist's rich kid and can only endure being bullied. Well, she'll use her strength to show them that capitalists can also contribute to the country, and they have no right to bully her at will.
"Thank you, Mom..." Hua Li hugged Shen Suyin, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.
This was the first time Hua Li had ever hugged her on his own initiative, and Shen Suyin hugged Hua Li back, her eyes welling up with tears.
Like a sandwich filling, Luo Yan struggled fiercely, "Please stop hugging me! I'm going to suffocate if you keep hugging me like this!"
Hua Li felt Luo Yan kicking and pawing in her arms, and in a panic, she let go of Shen Suyin and picked up Luo Yan.
Luo Yan's face was flushed, not from being sullen, but from being pressed against by her four big, round breasts.
Enraged, Luo Yan slid off Hua Li's arms and onto the ground, then angrily threw herself into Luo Shicheng's arms.
Luo Shicheng caught Luo Yan and carried her to the table by the living room door. He opened the backpack on the table and took out the item he had made according to the drawings Luo Yan had given him.
Luo Yan picked up the glued glass bottle, inserted the tube, and then secured the Sunflower 711 gas lighter.
Luo Yan took out the empty cigarette boxes she had collected when she went to the supply and marketing cooperative from her handbag and placed them on the coffee table. She picked up the hand-rubbed plasma cannon, aimed the nozzle at the stacked cigarette boxes, first pressed the lighter switch to release some gas into the tube, and then lit it.
As the flame rotates along the tube into the bottle, a high-speed airflow bursts out of the bottle and knocks over the cigarette pack.
Everyone was stunned. Those who didn't understand the significance thought it was extraordinary that Luo Yan could knock down a cigarette box with something that looked like a gun, while those who did understand naturally realized its epoch-making significance.
It took Sun Bailing a long time to control his excited emotions, and he asked Luo Yan in a tight voice.
"Yanyan, how did you figure that out? What's your underlying principle?"
Luo Shicheng handed Luo Yan paper and pen, saying, "What else do you need? Draw it for Daddy, and Daddy will get it for you as long as you draw it."
Chen Yuanshan: "Could you let Chen's father try it?"
Luo Yan handed the plasma cannon to Chen Yuanshan and began to teach him how to operate it.
Chen Yuanshan was incredulous. "Although I can't explain what significance this has for our scientific research, I just feel that if we study this in depth, it will definitely be amazing."
Luo Yan, you're right. We should share this so that top researchers can follow this path and get rid of the label of being backward as soon as possible.
“It must be submitted as soon as possible, but…” Sun Bailing hesitated.
Shen Suyin knew nothing about weapons, but seeing how excited the three men were, she knew that what Luo Yan had made was not simple.
I disagree.
Shen Suyin expressed her opinion.
"Yanyan is too young and not suitable for doing any research."
Hua Li also said, "My mother and I agree."
Sun Bailing naturally supported his wife and daughter's decision, so he placed his hopes on Luo Shicheng for the important task.
Luo Shicheng: "I can say that I developed it through my research, but if I really enjoyed doing research, I wouldn't only have one work..."
Luo Yan picked up a pen and paper and began to draw blueprints. Everyone remained quiet, waiting to see what else Luo Yan would come up with.
After Luo Yan finished drawing, she handed the blueprints to Luo Shicheng, thinking to herself that once these things were made and handed over, even without Luo Shicheng going to the border, they would hardly see him again.
Luo Shicheng took the blueprints and put them away, then put the hand-made plasma cannon into his backpack.
...
Ever since the news broadcast that Shen Suyin donated ten airplanes, the way people in the compound looked at Shen Suyin and Hua Li has changed. Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu are once again welcomed at the kindergarten, and the enthusiasm is no less than before.
Xu Yuan would avoid Xiao Xiu, and the child who had scolded Luo Yan came specifically to apologize to Luo Yan.
Knowing that the other party was probably sent by the parents, Luo Yan accepted the apology but did not forgive them.
Rumors can really kill if not handled properly. Those who spread rumors about her mother are her enemies. How could she just say sorry and let it go?
Luo Yan ignored him, so the child took out a piece of candy and gave it to her.
"My mom asked me to give this to you. Once you've eaten it, you can't hold a grudge anymore."
Luo Yan just stared at the child, not even glancing at the candy.
Xiao Xiu said, "He's not from our compound, we don't need to pay him any attention."
When Xiao Xiu exposed his identity, the child suddenly pounced on Xiao Xiu, tore open the candy in his hand, and stuffed it into Xiao Xiu's mouth.
When Luo Yan saw the child tear open the candy wrapper, she found a caterpillar inside. She snatched the caterpillar from the child and stuffed it into the child's mouth.
