Shortly after lunch, Nikolai's plane came into view, with Weiss holding Candy and Candy and Kemp waiting on the lawn for them to land. Piloted by the ace pilots of the Federation, the plane finally landed steadily. Weiss saw Professor Yang in the back seat from a distance, she was wearing a flight cap and goggles, and she kept waving her hand to this side before she landed, and she didn't seem to be afraid of flying at all.

After the plane came to a stop, Weiss took the children over and helped Professor Yang get off the plane without an escalator. She still wears a neutral shirt and jacket on the top, while she wears a long gauze skirt and women's boots underneath, and a pair of slender little white legs loom in the background.

The first thing Professor Yang did when he got off the plane was, of course, hugging Candy, and driven by an inexplicably strong desire to survive, Weiss quickly turned around, and politely stretched out his hand to Nico as if he were inviting a dance partner, helping her out of the cockpit—even though the sturdy ace didn't need such help at all.

Weiss was so attentive that Nikolai was a little surprised, but he took it for granted. When he finished serving, he said, "People, I brought it to you intact!" ”

"Today's trip went well, right?" "After two days of trying, I feel that the establishment of a commercial air route between Mason and Somsonas is technically completely credible. The key to commercial operation is whether the cost and benefit are matched. Well, the cost of this round trip is not only to calculate the fuel, but also to take into account the depreciation of the aircraft, the cost of maintenance, and the salaries of pilots and repairmen. ”

Nikolai saw that he was talking about things seriously, so he responded seriously: "The current practice is to mix people and goods, carry passengers when there are passengers, and transport mail and parcels when there are no passengers. With the distance between Mason and Somsonas, it's okay to fly two or three times a day when the weather is good, and not when the weather is bad. Judging from the existing situation, this method is still relatively marketable and can be tried. ”

After talking about this, go back and pay attention to Professor Xiao Yang. She took off her hat and goggles, revealing shoulder-length hair, which was still neat and supple despite the dust and dust all the way, as if she had specially styled her hair before she came. I haven't seen her for almost two months, her bright eyes and bright teeth, her smile and cheeks, like the wind tugging at the heartstrings. From a normal male point of view, Professor Xiao Yang's softness and charm are not a little more than Nicolai, and his temperament and connotation have their own merits, and they have their own place for home travel.

After being intimate with Little Candy for a while, Professor Xiao Yang got up and turned to Weiss, with a bright smile, and said in a voice that seemed to be mixed with honey: "Hello! Mr. Clumber-Haysen. Thank you for taking care of Little Candy for so long, she must be so happy here! ”

"Hello, Professor Yang!" Weiss greeted him with a smile, but he didn't dare to laugh too presumptuously, and his eyes quickly turned to Little Candy: "She is very obedient and sensible, and she has brought us a lot of joy here, especially to make our little brother Kemp live a busy and fulfilling life." ”

Professor Xiao Yang lowered his head and touched Xiao Candy's head, his eyes were full of tenderness: "She has never left me for so long since she was born. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to regain my dreams. ”

Although Weiss was happy to talk to Professor Xiao Yang for a while, under the alert of his desire to survive, he asked the two of them with concern if they had eaten lunch.

Despite the development of federal industry and the quality of the people, the level of electrification control in this era was limited, and the main railway artery that ran through the east and west was so long that it was not surprising that the train arrived at the terminal Mason late or an hour or two early. Therefore, Weiss arranged a certain fluctuation in terms of time and content, if they arrive early, they can go to the high-end restaurant in downtown Mason to have a good meal, if they arrive late, they can simply cope with it next to the train station.

Nikolai was silent, and Professor Yang said, "Mr. Totenbell himself came to pick us up from the station and arranged for us to dine at the Dech restaurant not far from the train station, but the food there did not seem to suit Miss Leiboyd's appetite, and I don't think she ate much." ”

At the Barston Military Academy, Nikolai was never afraid of hard training, but she was a bit picky about hygiene and diet - to be precise, when she could, she had to keep her clothes neat and tidy and eat only the dishes she liked...... With such a familiarity with her, Weiss certainly knew what to do. Anyway, Professor Xiao Yang's mother and daughter were reunited, and they could be left alone this afternoon, so he asked Kemp and a few older boys to help deliver her luggage to the room, and then walked up to Nikolai, who was pretending to check the plane: "Let's go, let Daddy Madden make you a pork bone roll that you like to eat!" ”

Nikolai did not refuse, but asked rhetorically: "You accompany me?" ”

"Otherwise, who will accompany you?" Weiss laughed.

Nikolai looked at Weiss suspiciously, realized that he was not joking, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he grabbed Weiss's arm with lightning speed: Go!

Tonkotsu rolls are one of Chef Madden's favorite dishes, and they are one of the few dishes here that Nikolai can praise with their tender pork bones and hand-pounded rolls. Back at the castle, a short time later, the hot tonkotsu rolls were served. Weiss had already eaten lunch, just a cup of tea, and sat and watched Nikolai dine.

Outside the window, you can see Professor Xiaoyang's mother and daughter enjoying their parent-child time on the grass.

Nikolai seemed to be hungry, and swept away all the food on his plate, leaving not even the side dishes left. After eating, she also noticed the mother and daughter, so she said, "What a good pair of mother and daughter, one is a red apple, and the other is a budding bud." This kind of ready-made cheapness, hey, you should grasp it! ”

Professor Xiao Yang arrived smoothly, and there seemed to be no problem with his emotions, although the big stone in Weis's heart fell to the ground, but he felt that the fog of the road ahead was still there, especially sitting in front of this heroine who was determined to dedicate himself to his ideals, he seemed to be standing at a fork in the road, on the left is a happy life, on the right is the road of pride and ambition, although the two are not either/or antagonisms, but from the perspective of long-term planning of life, there must be a focus, and then make corresponding trade-offs, That's the really sane way to do it.

After holding it for a long time, Weiss said something that does everything: "Let it be!" ”

Nikolai snorted: "At lunchtime, there was a tall and handsome male professor who was particularly attentive to Professor Yang, and with her conditions, there were naturally many peepers. If you think about it, it's better to make a positive statement as soon as possible, don't miss it and regret it! ”

Normally, this kind of words are exclusive to brothers/girlfriends, and Weiss feels that Nikolai may have regarded himself as a brother or a confidante from beginning to end, after all, he is only enough to be a little brother for her in terms of interpersonal skills and connections, rather than a chess opponent and a good match. As for the fact that someone is attentive to Professor Xiao Yang, it is normal, and no matter whether that person is a professor or a teaching assistant, they have more opportunities to be together, and their knowledge level and common hobbies are more consistent.

After another moment of silence, Weiss changed the subject: "Welcome dinner in the evening, let's go together!" There are tunes you like! ”

"Just go!" Nikolai was as cheerful as ever.

Not wanting the atmosphere of chatting to be too dull, Weiss quipped: "Men's or women's?" ”

Nikolai rolled his eyes at him as usual.

Weiss laughed.

Of course, Nikolai was not really angry, and she immediately laughed and said, "Hey, have you ever danced with Professor Yang?" ”

"Skip!" Weiss replied truthfully, "The first time was at a dinner party celebrating the discovery of the Xingyuan Quarry, where every man in the room asked Professor Yang to dance a part. Later, at the dinner party to celebrate the successful completion of the internship and research, we also danced, and danced two complete songs. ”

"And how is she dancing?" In the past, Weiss would have felt that Nikolai still had a woman's gossip spirit in his bones, but now he feels that she is fully understanding and evaluating Professor Xiao Yang's "combat effectiveness".

Weiss said: "By the standards of non-professionals, it's good. ”

"Then I'm going to see it tonight!" Nikolai straightened his collar and posed as if he was going to pick up a girl. As evidenced by Gunnevere's "wrong love", the men's appearance of this goods must be good-looking, temperamental, and extremely lethal to women who are used to seeing muscular hunk men, especially those who look forward to the happy life of the prince and princess. Professor Xiao Yang came on her plane and already knew that she was "Miss Leibald", what about the female students who came for the internship? There won't be any more love cases! Do you want to "debunk" her true identity as soon as possible?

"You...... You don't like women, do you? Weiss joked.

Nikolai glared at him angrily, and then said loudly: "If I am terminally ill and have to choose someone to be my life partner to complete the last journey, then I will choose you, Long Clumber Hasen, instead of any woman in this world, okay?" ”

In order to get rid of the suspicion of "Lily", such a ruthless thing can be said, Weiss couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and gave her thirty-two likes, but he was not relieved enough, and said tentatively: "Why don't you still wear women's clothes?" If you're wearing women's clothes, I can dance with you alone tonight! ”

Nikolai unceremoniously gave him a roll of the eyes: "I'm not really terminally ill again!" ”

Weiss breathed a sigh of relief, and in a moment of thought, he couldn't help but feel regret. Regardless of all off-the-court factors for him to choose, he feels that he still prefers Nikolai, a strange woman who combines many advantages such as handsomeness, changeable appearance, straightforwardness, resourcefulness, courage, and heritage, just like a modern Mulan. But back to reality, Nikolai's world view, outlook on life, and values seem to be going to the realm of a "pioneer". Ordinary people, no matter how dedicated they are, cannot be compared with the fearlessness, selflessness, wisdom, and pattern of pioneers.

Rolling his eyes, Nikolai was obviously in a very good mood at this time, and after drinking half a cup of tea, she said with a pleasant face: "Today's pork bone roll noodles are the best I have ever tasted in my life, and I will also give you a gift for the affection of this plate of noodles." ”

As he spoke, Nikolai pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket, unfolded it, and pushed it in front of Weiss.

Weiss looked at it, and said, "heavy" enough - it was an order for the Star Group, and the goods ordered were two A-C-2 aircraft. Although it is not clear what the specifications and performance of this aircraft are, the price of a new aircraft is certainly not cheap.

"This ......," Weiss looked at her in surprise.

"You have chosen to build your own aircraft production line, so it will not be until the end of summer at the earliest, and then you will have to carry out repeated tests and adjustments, and it is estimated that it will be in the autumn when it is actually put into operation. During this time, the pilots and maintenance engineers I helped you recruit don't sit by the production line every day and stare at each other, do they? In addition, the training of new pilots cannot be completed in a few weeks, and the survey of routes and the construction of facilities need to be carried out in advance. Why do you have to do two planes first? ”

It's not that Weiss doesn't understand such a simple truth, but there are too many aspects to consider in business, and it is impossible to cover everything. Before that, he had also asked his former comrades-in-arms to help keep an eye on the military's handling of second-hand aircraft, and was ready to buy a few old military planes under the right circumstances, but so far there has been no news. Nikolai's shot is both professional and decisive, and it is more valuable than encountering pork bone rolls when he is hungry.

For Nikolai's charcoal in the snow, Weiss's gratitude is beyond words, and he can still send a hug or something in the past, but now he feels that it is not very convenient to start, after thinking about it for a while, he still sends a smile, and praises "Well done!" ”
