Until he got off the bus the next morning, Jin Gui didn't know Chang Haonan's identity.

But the latter has already secretly noted the needs of the other party, and will definitely surprise him in the future.

In the 90s, because of the lack of means of communication, in general, a holiday was really a holiday, not working from home.

The small talk with Jin Gui on the train can only be regarded as an unexpected gain, even if Chang Haonan wants to do something immediately, he can't find enough people.

So the original plan remains the same, or continue to go home for the New Year.

……

tossed until the evening of the same day, and finally returned to his hometown-

A typical small county town in the northeast that has shown a bit of dilapidation.

Before being reborn, after Chang Yuanchao and Zhou Li both retired, they moved to live in Liucheng City under the strong request of Chang Haonan and Chang Jiayao.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the second elder was reluctant to go too far, the brother and sister would have planned to arrange for them to retire in Qiong Province, which is known as the fourth province in Northeast China.

Counting before rebirth, Chang Haonan actually hasn't been back here for more than ten years.

So much so that after he got off the bus at the gate of the family courtyard of the Public Security Bureau, it even took a while to find the right position.

Because it has passed the twenty-third day of the lunar month, both on the street and in the courtyard, there is some atmosphere of the New Year.

On the way, he met several people who could call his name, but Chang Haonan really couldn't remember any of them, so he had to pretend to be enthusiastic and deal with it casually.

……

Standing at the door of the familiar and unfamiliar tube building, Chang Haonan was carrying luggage in his hand, but he couldn't take a step.

He was going to sort out his emotions first.

But before he could adjust, he heard a crisp voice overhead:

"Brother—"

Chang Haonan subconsciously raised his head and saw a head poking out from a certain window on the third floor.

He waved upstairs.

Although it's a little unfamiliar, I can still recognize it, and that's what my sister looked like when she was in high school.

Chang Jiayao shouted out, but it dispelled the feeling of homesickness.

Family, what do you want to do so much?

Chang Haonan strode in and went upstairs.

The door of the house had been opened, and Chang Yuanchao was waiting at the top of the stairs wearing a green police uniform shirt with all the signs removed.

"Xiao Nan."

The father in front of him is less than 50 years old and in the prime of life.

The father in my memory has gray hair and a much thinner body.

Chang Haonan took a deep breath and stopped the tendency of some sourness at the corners of his eyes.

"Dad."

The two figures gradually overlapped.

He stepped forward and wanted a gentle hug.

However, Chang Yuanchao on the other side obviously couldn't feel the mixed feelings in his son's heart.

He is the kind of traditional father figure who is not very good at expressing feelings for his children.

Moreover, for him, the father and son were only separated for a year.

There must be misses, but it doesn't seem to have to be so exaggerated.

"Eh, didn't you just come back for a summer vacation, what's going on?"

Chang Yuanchao stretched out his hand to block Chang Haonan, and with the other hand, he took the travel bag that the latter was carrying:

"Let's go, your mother has finished cooking, just wait for you to come back."

Chang Haonan followed his father into the small, but warm memories of the home.

"Xiao Nan, change your clothes, wash your hands and eat."

Zhou Li was dressed in casual clothes at home, and while beckoning, she put the two bowls in her hands on the table.

Inside is Chang Haonan's favorite stewed noodles.

Tsuneto Chaoya, who followed closely, entered the house, closed the door, and put the slippers that had been prepared long ago on the ground.

At this time, Chang Jiayao also rushed out of the house and took the two bags together.

"Brother, you're back."

Looking at his sister's eyes, Chang Haonan knew that she should still have half a sentence to say:

"Did you bring me a present?"

He nodded as he changed his clothes:

"Yes, I'm back, I brought you a gift, it's in your bag."

Chang Jiayao's eyes lit up.

However, she still did not open the bag in her hand.

Coquettish is coquettish, and she still has basic politeness.

In the end, Chang Haonan took out the prepared gift by himself.

"Oh~"

Chang Jiayao held the model airplane in the box, obviously very satisfied.

"You kid...... Don't spend money......"

Zhou Li, who took the gift box, was upright, criticizing the indiscriminate spending, but her face was smiling.

However, when he saw the pen in his box and the watch that Chang Yuanchao took out at the same time, his face suddenly froze:

"Xiao Nan, you ...... Where did you get so much money? ”

Although she works and lives in a small county, Zhou Li still has some vision, at least she can see that these things are not cheap.

With Chang Haonan's monthly living expenses, unless he really has to drink the northwest wind, he will definitely not be able to save so much money.

In this era, although a few hundred yuan is no longer a huge amount of money, it is definitely not a small amount.

Especially for a student.

"The scholarship issued by the school, as well as the bonus for the research group to do the project."

Chang Haonan explained calmly.

He didn't tell a lie, it was indeed a bonus for the research group to do the project.

It's just that it wasn't issued by the research group.

In order to improve credibility and make Zhou Li completely relieved, Chang Haonan also took out an award certificate from his schoolbag.

It is the scholarship of the Science and Technology Commission mentioned by Tang Lintian before, with a total of 1,000 yuan.

Of course, he could understand his mother's reaction, because he was worried that he would take some evil path to earn money.

Sure enough, after seeing the signature and seal on the certificate, Zhou Li was immediately relieved.

"My son is out of ......"

She whispered in a brisk tone as she walked into the room and replaced the pen she had been using.

On the other hand, although Chang Yuanchao had not spoken, he had already put the watch on his wrist and began to think about how to make his colleagues pay attention to the watch in a less deliberate way, and how to direct the topic to the source of the watch......

In fact, Chang Haonan originally considered buying a unit-style commercial house for his parents in the county.

Although there are many warm memories of this tube building, it does not change the objective reality of poor living conditions.

It's okay for one or two people to live, but it's not a pleasant experience for the whole family to be crammed into an area of about 20 square meters.

However, looking at the reaction of the second elder, he still decided not to tell the fact that there was a six-figure sum of money in his passbook first-

Fear scares them.

Take your time.

Fortunately, Chang Jiayao will also go out to school in the second half of the year, and the family will be a little more relaxed.

After each of them received their gifts, the whole family sat around and began to eat dinner.

"By the way, brother, I seem to have seen you on the news before.

Chang Jiayao looked at the news that was playing on the TV and said:

"Around the end of October, when I reported on the Shengjing Aircraft Factory, there was a back next to the plane, which was super like you."

It even took Chang Haonan about two seconds to remember that it should be the time of the J-8C full-state test flight, and he went to touch the skin that was still a little hot after the plane landed.

His sister was able to recognize herself by a back, which really surprised him.

However, Chang Haonan still had to maintain the consistency of his previous statement, so he still shook his head:

"It shouldn't be, our research group is in the 603 Institute, that is, Hojing, responsible for the project of domestic regional airliners."

"Okay......"

Chang Jiayao, who didn't get the answer she wanted, was a little disappointed, and seemed to be skeptical of this explanation:

"I thought you designed that beautiful fighter."

In fact, her guess was quite close to the truth.

"I'll just say, no matter how powerful your brother is, people can't let a student who hasn't graduated from a bachelor's degree touch a plane casually."

Chang Yuanchao had an expression of "I guessed it a long time ago".

Chang Jiayao opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

It was at this time that a piece of news caught the attention of the brother and sister:

An airliner crashed in an accident while landing in the Alps, and the exact cause of the crash is still under investigation.
