Even though he wanted to follow Lu Zhou for the next 48 hours, it was obviously impossible.
Other than his own family, Lu Zhou never had the habit of inviting people to his home for the night, even though there were many empty guest rooms in the mansion.
He repeatedly vowed that he wouldn't sneak onto the plane this time. Plus, it was still early before the launch time, so he finally sent Director Li away.
Lu Zhou was busy at the launch site until four o 'clock in the afternoon. He asked Wang Peng to drive him back to his Zhongshan International mansion. He was about to take a shower and get himself something to eat when he suddenly heard the doorbell.
Lu Zhou got up and walked to the door. When he saw the screen next to the shoe cabinet, he suddenly had a surprised look on his face. He quickly opened the door.
"Dad, Mom, Xiao Tong? Why are you guys here? "
Lu Bangguo carried his suitcase into the foyer and smiled.
"If I didn't come, you would have slipped away again!"
When Lu Zhou heard his father's words, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Why didn't you guys tell me? I could have picked you up at the station."
Fang Mei, who was standing next to Old Lu, sighed and spoke softly.
"You're so busy with work, so I didn't want to disturb you. Therefore, I brought your father and Xiao Tong over from Jiangling. The whole family has to be together during the New Year. I can't just let you stay here alone. Even if the whole family can sit together and have a meal together, that's good enough. "
Lu Zhou looked at his parents' concerned eyes and went silent for a while. He then squeezed a smile on his face.
"Sorry … It's almost Chinese New Year, but I haven't even called home yet."
Old Lu didn't say anything. He just reached out and patted his son's shoulder.
"It's okay, I understand."
Between men, there was no need for too many words to communicate. Sometimes, a look was enough. Sometimes, even a look was not needed.
Lu Zhou could feel that his father understood him. He could also feel that deep in his heart, his father was proud of his mission and responsibility.
Just when the atmosphere at the entrance became a little emotional, Xiao Tong, who was carrying a travel bag, came out from behind her mother and excitedly ran to her brother's side. She asked, "What's going on?"
"Brother, brother, I heard that you took a rocket to the sky?"
Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback before he smiled and said, "Yes, but it's not a rocket. It's an aerospaceplane."
Xiaotong's eyes lit up as she asked, "Cool! Was it fun up there? "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's fun. If there's a chance, I'll bring you up … but not this time. It's a little risky this time. Even I don't dare to go up myself."
When Old Lu heard that not only was Lu Zhou going, but he was also going to bring his daughter, he stared at Lu Zhou and said, "In your dreams! Don't even think about it! If you want to go up, sure, but you have to get me a son first! "
Fang Mei rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "What do you mean get a son? Can't I get a daughter?"
Old Lu's expression didn't change. He quickly changed his words and said, "A daughter is even better! Two more is even better! "
Upon hearing his parents' words, Xiao Tong immediately stuck out his tongue and didn't say anything.
When my brother gets married …
I'll have to wait a long time.
It was getting late, almost six o 'clock.
There were still some groceries in the fridge. Fang Mei looked at them and told Old Lu to go out and buy two pounds of braised food. She then put on an apron and began to cook.
Originally, Lu Zhou didn't want his mother to cook. After all, they just took the high-speed train to Jinling, and she was a little tired. However, in the end, Lu Zhou gave up and sat on the sofa in the living room.
Both of his parents went to work, and only Lu Zhou and Xiao Tong were left in the living room.
Lu Zhou turned on the TV, which he rarely turned on. He was bored, and he began to worry about Xiao Tong's studies.
"How's studying in England?"
Xiao Tong's feet were placed on the coffee table. She was playing a game that had not been golden in years. She replied, "It's okay. I feel like the atmosphere at school isn't as lively as in China. I don't really like to go to parties, so I basically just go to the library with my roommates."
Lu Zhou: "Speaking of which, you're graduating next year, right?"
Xiao Tong: "Pretty much, I'll finish in two years."
Lu Zhou: "Have you thought about what you want to do after graduation?"
Xiao Tong put down his phone and thought for a second. He scratched his head in annoyance.
"I'm thinking about whether I should continue my PhD at Oxford or go to HSBC."
Lu Zhou said, "You got an offer from HSBC? HSBC accepts master's students? "
Lu Zhou had never borrowed money from a bank before, so he didn't know much about this. But if he remembered correctly, HSBC was probably the largest bank in the UK, and it had a lot of influence around the world.
For example, Old Li, who ran away from Xiangjiang, had HSBC behind him.
Xiao Tong scratched his nose with his index finger and smiled awkwardly.
"It's not like they don't accept master's students at all. During the summer, my supervisor helped me get an internship there. My work performance was not bad, so HR asked me if I had any plans to work there after graduation. Even though I'm only starting from the bottom, I quite like the working environment there. "
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "It depends on your choice. Do you want to go the academic route or the corporate route? If you want to go the academic route, a PhD is obviously a better choice. If you want to go the corporate route, you can also consider HSBC's offer. "
Sh * t, Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel melancholic.
Lu Zhou thought back to when he was an undergraduate student and climbed his way up one step at a time. Even with the guidance of the system, he had to put in a considerable amount of effort for every step he took. Only he could understand how difficult it was.
Of course, for Xiaotong to be able to get to this point smoothly, her personal efforts were also very important. Although he did provide some help in terms of domestic resources and recommendation letters, she still relied on her own ability to grasp these opportunities.
Just like how even if she was in the same system, she could only "blow up the research institute" …
Xiao Tong blinked and asked in a serious manner.
"Then, brother, which route do you suggest I take?"
"Me? Are you serious? "Lu Zhou laughed and said," I don't know anything about economics, it's useless to ask me … Why don't you ask Chen Yushan? "
"Chen Yushan?"
"Oh, Chen Yushan."
Xiao Tong obviously pretended not to know. When she saw the slightly embarrassed expression on her brother's face, she smiled slyly and poked Lu Zhou's arm.
"Haha, brother, be honest, how far are you and Chen Yushan?"
Lu Zhou glared at her.
"What are you talking about, you little girl, what are you thinking about all day?"
Once they started gossiping, Xiaotong immediately became interested. She chattered, "I'm not young! Think about it, Chen Yushan is 26 or 27 years old, and she's still single. Either she's not interested in love at all, or she already has someone in her heart. "
"What the f * ck do you know?"
Hearing this tone, Little Tong was instantly unhappy.
"Haha, do you know women better or do I know women better? Wait a minute, brother, maybe … "
As if she had thought of something, Xiaotong's expression, which was full of excitement a second ago, instantly became strange.
Lu Zhou sighed at the ceiling and looked at her with a headache.
"What now?"
Xiaotong looked at her brother with a strange expression and moved an inch to the side.
"Don't tell me … you like men."
"F * ck off!"
Coincidentally, the news broadcast began.
On the screen was a report about the launch mission that was about to begin.
Xiao Tong looked at the screen and stopped poking at the screen.
"Brother."
"What?"
"Can we succeed?"
After hearing this question, Lu Zhou went into deep thought, but soon, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"It's not a matter of whether we can or not.
"It's a matter of necessity."
The moon landing project had been going on since the beginning of last year, and it had carried too much hope.
She was eagerly anticipated by so many gazes.
They couldn't be disappointed.
