To alleviate the jet lag, Li He and the rest chose to return at night so that it would be more convenient for them to sleep on the plane.
As the plane ascended, Li He started to feel sleepy. But the more he wanted to sleep, the more he couldn't. His mind was too awake, and his head hurt.
After a long period of torture, he finally fell asleep.
After an eight-hour flight through the dark of Moscow, they arrived at the capital airport.
It was already 8 am. Pan Song, who was sitting with Li He, patted him awake. "Brother Li, we've arrived."
Li He rubbed his eyes and stretched. For people like him who didn't have a lot of butt fat, sitting for a long time was a big test for his butt. After he got up, his butt, balls, and tailbone were numb and stiff, and the sour feeling was overwhelming!
Through the window, he could see the warm light shining through the clouds. The ground was full of people, and there were red carpets and other celebratory items …
When the plane's door opened, the people standing on both sides of the runway formed a long queue in front of the plane.
"We'll wait for the representatives to leave before we disembark." This time, not only Li He and the rest returned, but the Big Bosses of the various departments also returned. Now that the Big Boss was back, his subordinates had to welcome him. It was a grand scene.
Li He didn't mind at first, but the reporters' cameras and microphones made him dizzy. It was better to avoid them.
Although Pan Song, Ding Shiping, and the rest were puzzled, they could only follow Li He and sit down.
Liu Baoyong squeezed over from the seat in front and asked, "Let's go."
Li He waved his hand. "There are too many people. Let's wait for a while."
Yuan Ming laughed. "Formalism. It's all formalism."
Although he was a deputy minister, he was still a minister. There were naturally many people who came to welcome them. He smiled and pulled Liu Baoyong away.
Li He, who was sitting in his seat, could hear the loud trumpets blowing outside.
Li He waited until a large number of cars had left before he called everyone to drag their belongings off the plane.
They were still taking the ordinary passageway for passengers, and it was extremely crowded. As usual, Ding Shiping and the others protected Li He in the middle.
Li He pushed them away and said, "This is our country. Don't be so nervous. Hurry up and see if Pinsong and the others have arrived."
Ding Shiping laughed heartily. "I'm used to it, I'm used to it."
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Pinsong, Lu Bo, Wei, and the others leaning against the fence.
Little Wei waved and said, "Brother, over here."
When he turned around, a thick necklace dangled from his neck.
The aviator goggles, bracelet, and ring were all shining with a golden light. The complete set of four items, coupled with the lines on his arms, gave off an aura that could destroy one's worldview. It was obvious that he wanted to tell others that he was rich. If they didn't believe him, they could look at his ornaments.
"What the hell? Why don't you get a gold tooth?" Li He gave him a kick out of habit as soon as he got out of the ticket gate.
"Brother, take care of your image." Little Wei dodged with a mischievous smile, not minding it.
"Take it." Li He felt stuffy. He took off his suit jacket and threw it to Little Wei.
Lu Bo and the others had more than twenty cars, and they had occupied the taxi passageway for a long time. The taxi drivers were already cursing and swearing.
The people who had come with Lu Bo had already started cursing at the drivers. They had even cursed their ancestors.
Li He felt helpless. "Hurry up and leave. Don't embarrass yourself."
He opened the door of a car at random and sat in the backseat. He could not wait to go home. He could not be bothered with anything else.
"Brother Ding, sit in the front passenger seat. I'm familiar with the road. I'll drive." Pinsong sat in the driver's seat in front of Ding Shiping.
Ding Shiping opened the window and kept sighing along the way. "This is really a big change."
Pinsong said, "You haven't even taken a look at Shichahai. It's been completely demolished. It's like a big pancake. They're expanding everywhere. From the airport to the east, the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway is being built. Along the airport to Tong County and Yi Zhuang, it's all construction sites. There's also some CBD business district being planned. "
Li He said to Ding Shiping, "You guys can make your own arrangements later. Go home and take a look."
Ding Shiping said, "What about you?"
Pinsong said, "Brother Ding, this is our territory. You don't have to worry about it. You and Brother Lan can go home and take a look."
He had heard about Li He getting shot.
"Alright," Ding Shiping said, "Then drop me off at the front. I'll take a taxi to the train station."
Li He said, "What's wrong with you? We have so many cars. You and Brother Lan can each drive an empty car. Why are you squeezing into the train?"
"That's not good." Ding Shiping was a little hesitant. After all, he didn't have much interaction with Pinsong and the others. It wouldn't look good if he took their things.
"Brother Ding, the cars are all under the company's name. You don't have to think too much. I'll call them to stop in front and throw a few cars." Pinsong dialed a mobile phone as he drove. "Stop. Tell everyone to stop."
All the cars stopped by the side of the road. The passersby couldn't help but look.
Lan Shifang and the others, who had been running in front to clear the way, got out of the car and asked, "What happened?"
Ding Shiping got out of the car and told them what Li He wanted.
Lan Shifang thought about it and agreed. Driving back to their hometown was a very honorable thing to do. It could also let others see that they hadn't been working for nothing all these years.
Li He got out of the car and said to Pinsong, who was arranging the cars, "Leave a few of the best cars."
Pinsong smiled and said, "Of course."
He left seven cars.
But Ding Shiping only wanted four. "There are three brothers who don't have driver's licenses. We'll take them first and ask them to take a bus or train halfway."
The people they had brought into the Soviet Union had all come back with them.
Pinsong asked, "Do they know how to drive?"
Lan Shifang said, "Of course, and they're all good drivers."
Pinsong smiled and said, "That's not a big deal. I'll arrange for a brother to accompany you to the vehicle management office and get your driver's license on the spot."
Since Pinsong could handle it, Ding Shiping and the others didn't object anymore. They brought Pinsong's men and drove away.
Li He continued to get in the car and rushed home.
"You didn't tell your sister-in-law that I'm coming back, did you?"
Pinsong shook his head. "You said you wanted to give her a surprise. We didn't dare to tell her."
At the entrance of the alley, Li He asked them to stop. "Give me the luggage. You can all go back."
He got out of the car, grabbed the luggage, and chased the group of people behind him back. He didn't even ask Little Wei to stay. He wanted to spend time with the two of them. These people following him around were, of course, a hindrance.
Pinsong and the others had no choice but to comply. They turned the car around and drove away.
When they finally arrived at the door, Li He was filled with emotions. He didn't expect to be gone for so long. His son was already three years old.
At the door was a little baldy in open-crotch pants. He was pinching Ah Wang's mouth and pulling his hair. Ah Wang was lying motionless as if he had accepted his fate.
When Ah Wang saw Li He, he immediately stood up and almost bumped into the little baldy. Li He hurriedly held the little baldy up.
The little baldy raised his head and looked at Li He with an adorable expression. Then, something that Li He couldn't have imagined happened.
The little baldy shouted, "The child stealer is here! The child stealer is here! "
"I'm your father!" Li He was exasperated.
