A few days later, Chen Nianfei returned to his hometown.

After landing, the superiors did not arrange special cars and personal guards, but sent a special action team to secretly monitor and protect.

The local security measures have also been coordinated by the relevant local departments, and for Chen Nian's family, they will not notice much abnormality.

Out of the airport, Chen Nian saw his parents who came to pick him up at a glance, his father Chen Shi still looked calm and stable, but his mother He Su couldn't hide her excitement and kept waving.

"Da'er, I'm finally home!"

He Su snatched the not much luggage in Chen Nian's hand, and then said:

"Your second uncle is cooking at home, and the whole family is waiting for you at home, you have made all the food you like, make up for it today!"

"I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and I've lost weight again!"

Chen Nian smiled helplessly and replied:

"Where have I lost weight, I'm not fat."

He is also telling the truth, the care of the Spark logistics team for him is something that most people have never experienced in several lifetimes, and there are several full-time nutritionists alone.

Not to mention losing weight, if Chen Nian didn't like to listen to the logistics team very much, didn't eat well, and had irregular work and rest, his weight would have returned to the upper range of the standard weight at this time.

He Su said that he was thin, which was nothing more than the same mentality as a mother in the world, and he always felt that his son was working hard and wronged outside.

Chen Shi said a fair word, he reached out and took the luggage in He Su's hand again, and said:

"This body shape is very good, it looks very healthy, but the muscles are not good, just strengthen the exercise."

"How's it going, have you been busy at work lately? How are you preparing for graduation? ”

In their eyes, Chen Nian is a talented college student, and in the process of studying, he has also participated in some official scientific research projects, which have also been recognized by the organization.

"Work is okay, I've been idle lately, don't you take advantage of the time to come back and have a look?"

"When I officially graduate, I am expected to be busier, and it is not certain whether I have time at that time"

Chen Nian said tentatively, he actually wanted to determine their choice through his parents' reactions.

But Chen Shi's answer was a little ambiguous.

"If you work, you must be busy, which can be understood - you are engaged in scientific research, which one can make a living in scientific research?"

"Anyway, you don't have time in the future, let's go and you'll be fine, your mother and I will retire soon, and we don't have anything to do at home, so I went to see you, so I should travel by the way."

"Yes, then I have to choose a better place to stay."

Chen Nian replied with a smile.

"Listen to the organization's arrangement, don't feel that you are proud of your achievements with a little achievement, or focus on the overall situation"

The three of them walked in the direction of the parking lot while chatting about their daily routines, it was Chen Shi who was driving, he didn't notice anything wrong, at best, he just felt that the road conditions were surprisingly good today.

——

But Chen Nian knew that in order to clear the risks on the road, the superiors didn't know how many arrangements had been made.

Is this a waste of money and labor?

Chen Nian personally thinks it's a little bit, but his superiors definitely don't think so.

They can't accept the risk, not even one in 10,000

This made Chen Nian's mentality change again.

Perhaps, on the whole, it is best to have a showdown with your parents.

However, there is no rush to make a decision yet.

Along the way, Chen Nian's eyes kept looking out the window.

Compared with when he left a few years ago, the small county town in his hometown has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The advertisements on the walls of the houses on the side of the road are no longer pig feed and gold killa, but have been changed to communication packages and housing prices for new communities.

The dilapidated elementary school has been completely renovated, and the school building has become one of the tallest buildings in the neighborhood.

On both sides of the road, a large amount of infrastructure work can be seen, including small bridges, road widening, and even wind turbines being assembled in the distant mountains.

Is this 2007?

Chen Nian couldn't help but be a little skeptical.

These scenes, in the previous life, were actually not seen until 15 or 16 years old.

And Chen Shi in the driver's seat was also a little emotional, and while driving, he opened his mouth to introduce Chen Nian:

"Look, the elementary school you used to attend has all been renovated."

"Now this primary school is no longer called Lincheng County Second Primary School, it is called Lincheng County Central Primary School."

"Almost all school-age students in the county are concentrated here, and dormitories have been built in schools for students in more remote villages and towns – all for free."

"However, most of the students still go home normally – do you know how long it will take to go to Sanjiang now?"

Sanjiang Township is the most remote township in Lincheng County, Chen Nian's hometown, hidden between the 100,000 mountains, and geographically speaking, it is even worse than Wang Jiancheng's hometown of Luojiao Village.

After all, the village was only missing a road, and it was only a few kilometers long.

The distance of more than 40 kilometers between Sanjiang Township and the county seat is full of sheep intestine trails in the mountains, which can only barely be used by motorcycles, and it even takes a whole day to go one way.

"How long? Three hours? ”

"40 minutes. The country roads over there are now all two-lane asphalt roads, and there are fewer winding mountain sections, and there are three tunnels alone. ”

"As soon as this road is built, not only will they benefit themselves, but the passage from Hunan next door to our side will also be completely opened."

"In the past, the persimmons grown in the mountains of farmers had to be transported to Hunan for a detour of more than 400 kilometers, but now it is very convenient to go on the highway from the side of Sanjiang for more than 100 kilometers."

"Awesome!"

Chen Nian sighed sincerely.

"Isn't that amazing? You didn't look at the machines that built the road, there are several different models of excavators alone, and it's a pity that you didn't go home, you loved to see excavators when you were a child."

"I love it now, too."

Chen Nian replied with some amusement.

"It's useless to love it, this road is repaired, and it is estimated that there will be no major projects in a short time."

"However, I heard that in the future, we may have to build two additional expressways here, connecting Baomao and Shanghai-Kunming expressways, and then it will be really convenient, and Lincheng may become a commodity distribution center."

"Is it just us here, or is it all around us?"

Chen Nian suddenly asked.

"It's all pretty much the same. In the past two years, Lin Cheng has developed rapidly, but it is not ridiculously fast, if you really want to say fast, it has to be the city next door, which has seized a wave of semiconductors, and now chip factories are directly located there."

Hearing this, Chen Nian nodded silently.

At the beginning, he was also worried that Lin Cheng was only getting special care because of his own reasons, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The economic situation at the grassroots level is indeed improving, and the role of a series of layouts in the early stage is becoming apparent.

The grain war has been won, and the basic situation of the vast number of townships, towns, and rural areas has been guaranteed.

Strict control of real estate, Daxing infrastructure, and Shangma Village have driven the vitality of the lower economic class, and the word "optimal allocation of resources", which originally only appeared in books, has really been implemented.

In the field of upper and cutting-edge science and technology, chips, precision machinery, new materials and other technologies ensure the exogenous power of economic development, and make up for the "consumption" of lower investment through high profits and high returns.

Although the virtuous circle cannot be said to have been fully formed, it has already begun to take shape.

Along the way, Chen Nian's heart slowly became counted.

He can no longer ask about the changes in his hometown, but chats with his parents about family life without saying a word.

Finally arrived home, several relatives who were close to him had been waiting for a long time, Chen Nian immediately opened the banquet as soon as he put down his luggage, and everyone at the dinner table talked happily until more than ten o'clock in the evening.

In the midst of the mess of cups and plates, Chen Nian sat opposite Chen Shi and suddenly asked:

"Dad, if you say that I really took the route of scientific research and entered the secret industry in the future, what do you think?"

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Shi was stunned for a moment, and then replied:

"That's a good thing!"

"Being able to do confidential work shows that the content of your research must be of great use, this is a matter of glory to the ancestors, what else can we think, of course it is support!"

Chen Nian nodded slightly and continued to ask:

"But the problem is, if I really enter the secret department, it may not be so convenient for you to see me in the future."

"Of course, your own lives will be affected a little, but it shouldn't be too big"

Chen Nian is still confident in this.

After all, with their own contributions, no matter how difficult it is for their superiors, they should also find a way to settle their own families.

Some of the inconveniences are mainly compromises made to ensure their safety.

Chen Shi's brows furrowed slightly, and then, as if he had made some important decision, he asked tentatively:

"It's already decided?"

Chen Nian was stunned for a moment and replied:

"It's possible, but it's not finalized yet."

Chen Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.

Although he was smiling, there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and if you want to be loyal to the country, it will be difficult to fulfill your filial piety for us."

"If you're going to do something big, you have to leave some personal emotions behind, and we know that."

"Actually, since the first few times you took us to Chang'an, your mother and I have been mentally prepared."

"Just last week, I went to the pet market with your mother, planning to buy a dog and come back."

"We thought, if one day, you really don't come back, and we can't go to see you, have a dog, and have a company by your side."

"-——Don't laugh, I'm not scolding you, it's a very real problem."

"If you don't believe it, ask your mother, she thinks so too."

Chen Nian waved his hand and said:

"That's not that exaggerated. Even if you enter the secrecy department, it is not completely unseemly, but the rules and regulations are stricter and the review is more troublesome. ”

"Then there's nothing to think about, just go!"

Chen Shi waved his hand decisively and made a decision on the spot.

Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief, according to this, in fact, the parents' decision was very clear.

Since they can endure the pain of separation from themselves, there is no need for them to know too deeply, lest they risk uncertainty.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian's face also had a smile.

"Then it's decided, I'm working hard to get to a secret department."

"I'll tell you when the time comes."

"There's one more problem though. Which city do you think I should go to? ”

"Is there an alternative?"

Chen Shi asked in surprise.

"You can choose, the departments are different, there are agencies all over the country."

In fact, Chen Nian's words are very watery, even if the superiors let him choose a place at will, but in fact, there are only a few suitable cities.

Of course, he can be willful to his own preferences, but in the long run, efficiency and safety must also be considered.

A first-tier city with a high concentration of scientific research institutions is different from an eighteenth-tier city that does not even have a laboratory.

The well-fortified inland and the coast, which have a complex social environment, are also different.

Chen Shi on the opposite side hesitated for a moment and said:

"If you really want to choose, either go to Chongqing and Chengdu, or go to the imperial capital."

"These places are safe and developed, and they are good for you."

"I heard that there is also an aircraft research institute in Chengdu, Chengfei, right? It's nice to be there. ”

"But the secret department you kid is talking about should be Xifei, right? If that's true, it's good to stay in Chang'an."

"Do you still know that Cheng Fei is flying west?"

Chen Nian asked teasingly.

"Then you think that I also have to keep learning, not to mention that this is what you do, you must understand it well."

"If you go to the west in the future, you won't be going to study bombers, right? Our bombers are viable, we have to study hard and do it well."

"Yes, don't worry."

Chen Nian picked up the wine glass, touched a glass with Chen Shi, and then continued:

"What is a bomber, if I really go to the west, the space carrier can be built"

"Just blow it!"

Chen Shi glared, and his tone became serious:

"Seriously, if you can enter Xifei, you are already considered a leader among your peers."

"If you say this, I don't know how many people envy you."

"However, as a parent, I don't expect that much from you."

"It's enough to work hard and shine in your own position, as for being ambitious and wanting to leave a name in history, it's not that simple."

"Don't be unconvinced by this, just say that you who build airplanes, the chief engineer in charge of J-20, Yang Wei, he is powerful enough, right?"

"But judging from the current situation, even he is not yet famous in history."

"So, it's better for you to do it steadily, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't make mistakes because of quick success"

"Understood."

Chen Nian nodded sincerely.

But after a pause, he suddenly asked in a hurry:

"But then again, how do you think you can be considered famous?"

Chen Shi was stunned for a moment and replied:

"Or Yang Weiyang, Chief Engineer, you see, he built a J-20, which is definitely not qualified."

"But if the previous J-22, J-20, and H-20 were all made by him alone, then it would basically be enough."

"He's still young, it's up to him to see if he has a bigger contribution in the future."

After a moment's pause, Chen Shi said again:

"You're still young, and you have a chance."

Chen Nian smiled slightly and replied:

"yes, there's definitely a chance."
