Chapter Twenty-Three: It's More Money

The research center of the Hillwood Base is the most mysterious and low-key and the most defended place in the Hillwood Base. It is located to the north of the base, adjacent to the Second Army. All the buildings of the research center are composed of two colors, brown and green, which are the same as the architectural style of the entire mound, and the overall color blends in with the surrounding environment and is easy to hide. At the same time, the exterior walls of the research center are coated with stealth coatings, so that in case of accidents, they can immediately hide themselves and become invisible.

The research here includes three major sections: the second institute for the research of new weapons and communication technology, the third institute for the research of various crops and the improvement of planting technology, and the first institute for the research of main drugs and antibodies to α virus.

Among them α virus antibody research belongs to the top priority of the research center, which belongs to the inner courtyard, outside the base fortifications, and set up a warning belt between the research center and other areas again, and no one can approach it at will, otherwise the guard personnel have the right to shoot people to death immediately for the crime of espionage without assuming any responsibility.

Yan's mother, Liu Xiyan, was a doctor in the field of human immune system diseases before the end of the world, and is now a chief doctor in the first hospital. When Yan Ruihan came to look for her, she happened to get off work. Some time ago, the latest virus antibodies were successfully developed, and they were also a little relieved. Seeing Yan Ruihan standing next to the car, he happily greeted him, "Ruihan, you are here." ”

The entry and exit review of the first courtyard was very strict, and although Yu Yan Ruihan was fine, he did not enter to avoid trouble. Yan's mother was wearing a wisteria-colored dress, and her whole person looked dusty, Yan Ruihan opened the car door for her, "Mom, get in the car, the restaurant you liked before has a new dish, I'll take you to try it." ”

"Well, I haven't been there for a while. It was rare for his son to take such initiative, and Liu Xiyan naturally accepted it gladly. The two of them are relatively busy, and they don't live together, and she hasn't seen Yan Ruihan since the last time they separated. Although there are also telephone contacts, there are some missing.

"How are you doing lately, I heard that the person who attacked you last time was caught, whose person is it?" Liu Xiyan has someone specially sent by Yan Ruihan to protect her by her side, and some things that are not too secret can also be told to her.

Yan Ruihan replied, "It's caught, but the people behind the scenes are still investigating." ”

Liu Xiyan usually doesn't ask about the base, but it is about her son, she can't help but ask a few more words, the accident last time really frightened her, "No matter what, pay attention to safety, and don't be too tired, and pay attention to rest." ”

"Hmm. Yan Ruihan responded. The car was quiet, and only the sound of the motor turning could be heard.

After a while, Yan Ruihan took the initiative to speak, "Mom and Uncle Kang have been in good health lately, I'm busy this time, I'll take the demon to see you after a while." ”

"We're all good, you don't have to hang on to it. Hearing him mention Kang Huaiqing, a smile appeared on Liu Xiyan's face, obviously he was carefully cared for, and the relationship between the two must be very good. After finishing and said, "But your Uncle Kang misses you a lot, you can come over at any time, and I will prepare food for you and the demons." By the way, how is that little greedy cat of the demon lately? I miss him too. ”

"He, some time ago, he was shouting to go out by himself, and he wandered alone for several days, and it took two days to settle down a little. When it came to the steady self-control that the demon Yan Ruihan had maintained all year round, he unconsciously relaxed, and the air around him was much more relaxed and happy.

Seeing his helpless and happy appearance, Liu Xiyan also smiled, she knew that the Pu Demon was a pistachio, and there was no shortage of joy with him by his side.

At this time, it is the time to get off work, but the people of the base rarely go far away, occasionally travel far away, and use the car is also to gather good people to rent from the base, although the deposit is not low, but the rent is not expensive, and the daily maintenance is exempted. For people who travel short distances on a daily basis, they choose more convenient and environmentally friendly means of transportation such as bicycles. So in addition to the bicycle flow on both sides of the road, there are only buses and some rental cars, as well as a small number of private cars, and there is no congestion.

When I arrived at the restaurant, it didn't take long for the food to come up, and Yan Ruihan poured a glass of red wine for Yan's mother and himself. Liu Xiyan picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently, but instead of moving his chopsticks, he said, "Tell me, what happened?"

Her son knew that although she was glad that Yan Ruihan came to see her, she also knew that if it weren't for something, her son would not invite her out to dinner like this.

Yan Ruihan put down the wine decanter and sat back in his seat. He put his right hand on the table, his fingers tapped lightly on the table to make a brisk rhythm, his eyes drooped slightly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook. He looked up at Liu Xiyan, with unconcealed joy in his eyes, "Mom, I have someone I like." ”

"Really?!" Hearing his words, Liu Xiyan was pleasantly surprised, Yan Ruihan is twenty-seven years old this year. She had been urging him to find a partner in the early years, but Yan Ruihan kept shirking and saying that it was too early. In the past few years, she has been hiding as soon as she says it, and she doesn't bother to ask again after many times, but she didn't expect him to find a partner quietly.

"Yes, where is the girl? inside or outside the base, and how are the other party's parents?" She is really happy, Ruihan has been alone for too long these years. But she was deeply afraid that the other party would not be good, and had other plans.

"Mom, don't worry," Yan Ruihan stabilized Liu Xiyan's emotions, and continued, "It's not a girl, it's a boy." ”

"Man?" Liu Xiyan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, no wonder he has introduced so many to his son over the years, and it turns out that the gender is not right.

Men are naturally not as good as girls, just think about the son who has been alone for so many years, this is twenty-seven, and he is a strong temper, if he misses this one, I don't know when to wait. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Where are you from, what's your name?"

As soon as he said it, Yan Ruihan kept staring at Liu Xiyan's reaction, and when he saw that she only hesitated for a moment before admitting it, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It is true that even if Yan's mother opposes him, he will insist on his decision, but Yan's mother is his important relative, and it is naturally the best result to get her support and approval.

Knowing his mother's attitude, Yan Ruihan let go and said, "You also know, it's a lively and cheerful little guy." ”

"I've seen it too?" Liu Xiyan glanced at Yan Ruihan, asked him to look at himself with a light smile, and suddenly reacted, "It's a demon!"

Recalling all the things that the two of them had been together before, Liu Xiyan instantly realized, no wonder his son was as cold as a block of ice on weekdays, and the cold air on his body melted in front of the demon, it turned out that he liked others.

"Then you said it was your new brother?"

Speaking of this, Yan Ruihan was also a little embarrassed, "I didn't understand it at first. ”

At that time, he felt that the Pu Demon was well-behaved, cute and lively, and looked pleasing to the eye, and saved him, so he coaxed people home very keenly. Who would have thought that he not only wanted to take people home, but also wanted to hide people in the bed.

Fortunately, it is not announced to the public, otherwise it will be troublesome. Yan Ruihan and Liu Xiyan glanced at each other, and they both understood the happiness in each other's eyes.

"Look at the last day you brought the demon to play, let me take a good look. Liu Xi said, I used to think that I wanted to be a cute godson, but now I have the feeling of a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law.

Yan Ruihan hurriedly stopped, "Mom, he hasn't figured out what's going on yet, don't say too much." You also know his situation, although he has learned a lot of things, but he is still ignorant about emotional matters. ”

"Oh," Liu Xiyan understood when he heard this, "You haven't got the relationship done yet, and you're in unrequited love!"

Suddenly receiving a blow from the heart, the corners of Yan Ruihan's raised mouth deflated. He wanted to say no, and the demon also liked him, but he remembered the stupid look when the Pu demon said he liked it, so he still shut up.

Seeing that his son was rarely deflated, Liu Xiyan couldn't help but laugh twice. She also knew that this was a bit bad, but Yan Ruihan was too good on weekdays, and he also pushed himself very hard, everything was done with the best result, and he was always calm and easy. It's rare to look a little embarrassed like this, but it's even more popular to look at.

"Also, Mom," remembering another thing, Yan Ruihan suddenly said with a straight face, "Regarding Li Na, since I like demons, I will protect him well, you know that he is ignorant about love, I don't want anyone to say anything in front of him anymore I will marry someone else and then drive him away or something." ”

"So I ask you to make it clear to her what I mean, or I won't save face for her next time. ”

"This," it turned out that such a thing had happened during this period, she knew what Li Na was thinking, and she had helped her intentionally or unintentionally over the years, but this kind of thing barely came. Liu Xiyan sighed, "Okay, I'll tell her." ”

When Yan Ruihan returned home, Pu Demon was watching cartoons in the living room, listening to the movement at the door, he immediately looked at him, obviously waiting for him.

Seeing people, the Pu Demon jumped and rushed over, Yan Ruihan lowered his body slightly, and hugged the demon who was holding his neck on the first floor, and the person on his body also muttered and complained, "Why did you come back so late today?"

During this time, the two of them went in and out together, but the Pu Demon Demon found something interesting yesterday and decided to go shopping today, so he didn't follow him all the way, but he didn't expect to come back until it was dark.

Yan Ruihan sat down on the sofa with the demon hanging on his body, and smoothed a strand of playful hair on his forehead, "I'm busy today, I called you in advance to say, have you eaten?"

"Well, I ate it. The demon nodded. Then he suddenly remembered something and jumped down from Yan Ruihan, "You wait, I'll show you something good." ”

After saying that, the person ran upstairs "bouncing", and after a while he ran down with this thing in his hand.

Yan Ruihan watched him run with a jump, and walked down the stairs in a few steps to wait for him, "Be careful." ”

"Got it, got it. The energetic Pu Demon pulled Yan Ruihan back to sit on the sofa and put the things in his hand on the mahogany table in front of him.

Pu Demon opened the box, took out the green, white, red, ink and other colors of the stone, and carefully placed it on the table.

"This is, Jade. Yan Ruihan saw it at a glance.

"Uh-huh. These stones are useful, "Pu Demon Demon has seen Yan's mother wear this kind of stone before, but because Yan's mother is close to her, she is small and small, so Pu Demon Demon didn't ask." Yesterday while wandering around the base office, he spotted a cubit-high rockery carved out of this stone. After asking, he found out that this was jade, and it was sold on the street, so he picked up the card that Yan Ruihan gave him and went to the street, but, "Yan Yan, I spent a lot of money today." ”

He didn't expect this thing to be so expensive, it is said that human money is difficult to earn, and the Pu Demon lowered his head with some guilt. If you really can't do it, you should return it first, and then buy it when you earn money? After coming to the outside world for so long, Pu Demon had the idea of making money for the first time.

Yan Ruihan was amused by his appearance, and wanted to tease him, but he was afraid to overdo it when he looked at his drooping eyebrows. simply fished the person over and put it on his lap, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, Yan Yan doesn't have anything else, it's just that there is a lot of money, and what worries me the most is that I can't spend enough money." ”

"Really?!" Pu Demon Demon's lowered head instantly raised, infected by his arrogance, and his eyes flashed with light.

"Well," Yan Ruihan nodded, "as long as you don't spend it indiscriminately, you can buy whatever you want." ”

"Mmmm, I'm not going to spend it. Yan Yan rest assured, I will spend the most money. The Pu Demon nodded and assured that the idea of making money that had just risen had already been thrown out of the clouds.
