"Poof!" Chen Yixin looked at Xie Kai and couldn't help but be happy.

There was no shyness on his face, but it made Xie Kai feel good-looking.

"I didn't lie to you. Think about it, I usually don't go to school, I skip school all day, I don't read books, how can I get such a good score in the exam?" Before being reborn, Xie Kai would not consider the little girl's feelings, and would tell her coldly that she would stay where it was cool.

Now it's different.

He's changing his habits in the world.

"Even if you didn't lie to me, the next time you take the exam, show me the paper you steal. Chen Yixin is now bolder.

Xie Kai, who I heard before, is completely a demon king of the mixed world, a little gangster, and very annoying.

Now I found that what I heard was not necessarily true.

"Alright, I know what you're worried about, I won't affect you. I won't expose you if you skip school, my mother asked me to come on a blind date with you, and I don't want to come at all...... The outside world is very big, I want to go abroad, but my grades are not good, and it is difficult to go to an ordinary university ......" Chen Yixin smiled and said to Xie Kai seriously.

"Abroad isn't necessarily as good as you think. Xie Kai sighed.

She said this, Xie Kai was not lost.

The girl in front of her is another one who thinks that the moon abroad is rounder than at home.

"I've heard my mother say, have you been abroad? What is it like abroad, can you tell me? My father told me that foreign countries are far more developed than our domestic ones, and it is easier to do anything...... Chen Yixin did not have the previous embarrassment at all.

Xie Kai looked at the girl and wanted to tell her that foreign countries were not as good as she imagined.

also knew that saying it would make the girl think that he had something else in mind.

"It doesn't matter what others say, the important thing is that you go out to see it yourself, you see it with your own eyes, and you experience it yourself, so that you will know where the gap between foreign and domestic countries is. Everyone, because of their different worldviews, sees different things......" Xie Kai looked at the mountains that had darkened in the distance and said meaningfully.

Chen Yixin looked at Xie Kai in a daze, with some doubts on her face.

"Aunt Liu also said before, she hopes that you can be admitted to a good university, and then send the government to study abroad, don't you want to?" Chen Yixin didn't understand Xie Kai's thoughts.

"Studying abroad? I haven't learned anything well in China, what are you going out to study? Do you really think that when you go to someone's school, you will teach you everything without reservation?" Xie Kai smiled bitterly, "The top majors will not be open to foreign countries at all! Unless, you become their people, I have lived in this base since I was a child, my parents gave up everything for the cause of national defense, and they dedicated their lives to this desert......

Chen Yixin simply couldn't understand this.

Xie Kai said that she just listened to the story.

"Look ahead, what do you see?" Xie Kai pointed to the front and asked Chen Yixin.

"Desert?"

"Look at the back, what do you see again?"

Chen Yixin turned around and saw the continuous buildings of the base.

"Twenty-three years ago, it was the same as before. This sand date forest is the largest forest here, and we who grew up here don't know what the forest looks like in books...... When our fathers came here, it was the same as before...... Someone killed his only son with his own hands for this base, and until now, his family has not forgiven him......" Xie Kai didn't know why he was telling Chen Yixin this.

For Chen Yixin, the base is a springboard for her to go abroad.

In other words, Xie Kai would hate them.

But now, Xie Kai doesn't hate, those who can take advantage of opportunities will always live better than those who don't know how to take advantage of opportunities.

He used to be a person who didn't know how to take advantage of opportunities, otherwise he wouldn't have lived like that for the rest of his life.

"Is there such a person?" Chen Yixin didn't understand.

She doesn't know about the base, and she doesn't know about it.

Even if Xie Kai was said to be very good by her mother, he was still not a person with her.

She needs a wider world, a bigger world, and a bigger space to fly freely.

In China, it is rare for her mother to see her once, and her father has been aggrieved for many years.

"Maybe there is, maybe not. It's getting dark, let's go back......" Xie Kai didn't want to say more.

If it weren't for such a person, he would have been planning to leave this cage a long time ago.

The 404 base is a cage for those who are not dedicated to scientific research and national defense.

Throughout the year, you can't see the slightest green, you can't feel the change of time, and you can't feel the development of the country......

Chen Yixin looked at Xie Kai, she was very surprised, why from the immature face of a person like Xie Kai who was the same age as her, she could see the depth and vicissitudes on the face of her father.

"How many people are in your class?What kind of people are they?Who has a good relationship with you?" On the way back, Chen Yixin kept asking Xie Kai about the things in their class.

She has little interest in the things of the base.

The heavy weapons and equipment that made Mo Qi's eyes straighten, heavy artillery, Chen Yixin was not interested at all. She asked a lot, but she didn't ask about the firing of artillery at the base in the afternoon, let alone what the base was for.

I even asked Xie Kai how they usually play.

Hearing Xie Kai say that they had been playing in the wasteland since they were children, and they would go to the front of the sand date forest to barbecue and drink wine when they had nothing to do, she was even more contemptuous.

When the two returned to Xie Kai's house, it was already dark, Liu Xu left Zhou Rong and a few people to eat, they naturally wouldn't stay, everyone was busy.

"That girl is good, isn't it?" asked Xie Kai as Liu Xu cleaned up the room.

"Mom, I'm only 17 years old, isn't it a little early to deal with someone now?" Xie Kai didn't understand the old lady's thoughts.

The old lady was not such a person before.

"Let's do it first. I will be in my third year of high school next year, and I will go to college the year after. I'm so busy taking care of your dad all day that I don't have time to take care of you...... Zhou Rong's hometown is also in Shanghai, and her daughter is very good and knows how to take care of people...... You study with her, and you will be admitted to the same university in the future, and then you will go abroad together, and someone will take care of you. Liu Xu said as he worked.

Xie Kai frowned, why did the old lady start talking about this again?

"Mom, I don't want to study abroad, the country is so big, isn't it enough for me to toss!" Xie Kai really didn't want to go abroad. "Didn't you make it clear before? You told my dad at the beginning, and I made my own decisions. ”

"No one forces you, just prepare first. I can tell you, don't learn from Luo Feng and Sun Juan!" Liu Xu reminded Xie Kai.

Xie Kai asked Cangtian speechlessly.

The old lady did such a thing herself, and let herself not cause human life, did she believe too much in her son's self-control or did she think that her son did not have the function?

He doesn't argue with his mother, don't make a disharmony in the family during the New Year.

"My dad isn't coming back tonight?" Xie Kai asked.

"Your Uncle Cao's house is drinking, let's go too, don't I have to wait for you to come back. Liu Xu cleaned up the room and clapped his hands, "Let's go, go to your Uncle Cao's house." ”

"I'm not going...... "Cao Feng's situation, Xie Kai knows better than anyone.

If you go, you will definitely be drunk.

If that guy gets another niece or something, it's not interesting.

Xie Kai is most fortunate that Cao Feng's daughter is the same age as him, otherwise......

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, free love was advocated, but there were only a few people who were really in love?

"Your dad told you to go. Talking about the Hongqi factory......"

"Isn't this the Chinese New Year! Shouldn't we stop talking about work during the New Year?" Xie Kai really couldn't hide.

Hongqi Machinery Factory, which belongs to the largest unit of the base, was originally just an ordinary supporting unit, but now it has become the main force of the entire base.

Xie Kai followed the old lady to Cao Feng's new home.

The newly renovated cadre building is the same type as the house originally assigned to Xie Kai's family, with three bedrooms.

"Xiao Xie is here, come and drink......" When Xie Kai arrived, Cao Feng and his father were drinking in the living room.

Just now, I was still at the entrance of the building when I heard the noise above.

The sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen, and the smell of tobacco and alcohol came to the face, mixed with the aroma of food.

Zheng Yucheng is actually there.

"I just arrived, anyway, it's not interesting for a person to guard the empty house during the New Year, Xiao Cao called me, and he came. Seeing Xie Kai's doubts, Zheng Yucheng said with a smile.

He was laughing, but there was bitterness in his words.

The atmosphere in the room couldn't help but freeze a little.

"Lao Zheng, why don't you come to my house tomorrow for the New Year?" Xie Kai opened his mouth to invite Zheng Yucheng, the old man who killed his son for the base, deserves anyone's respect.

Zheng Yucheng's wife is gone, and his daughter is at the base, but she doesn't get along with her father. Occasionally, the son-in-law can only secretly look at the old man's pole, and he can't even drink with him.

Otherwise, you will have to return to the washboard.

"Yes, Director Zheng, come to my house tomorrow!" Liu Xu heard his son's words and hurriedly invited.

Zheng Yucheng shook his head with a smile and picked up the cup. "I've got an appointment tomorrow! Come, drink, for the future of our base!"

"For the future of the base!" everyone raised their glasses.

Zheng Yucheng tilted his neck and drained the wine in the glass, and Xie Kai did not shirk and did it.

He can understand Zheng Yucheng's current mood.

Just like the original, every Chinese New Year, when thousands of families are reunited, he is alone, thinking about his parents, thinking about his cabbage, and thinking about his children who left before they were born.

They are all people who don't like the New Year.

The more times like this, the more lonely they feel.

"I propose that we first have a glass to Xie Kai. If he hadn't fooled around and blew up our fine processing plant, our base would not have this fat year. Zheng Yucheng said noisily.

Everyone else raised their glasses to Xie Kai.

"This is thanks to my dad and Uncle Cao, otherwise, maybe I would still be in prison! Maybe I would have eaten peanuts!" Xie Kai complained.

"Which dog day spread rumors that they want to eat peanuts? I don't know?" Zheng Yucheng scolded with a smile.

This kid is clearly complaining about how many days he was locked up.

"But we should be grateful to the rumor-mongers, otherwise you kid wouldn't have jumped out to save his life. Where is the good life in our base now? Everyone said yes? Come, I would like to give Comrade Xie Kai another drink......" Zheng Yucheng said with a smile.
