~6 min read 1,135 words

Tomorrow is your three siblings' birthday, and also the day the rocket 'Zihan' launches; it's the day we, in this special way, commemorate your mother's birthday, so I thought to bring you three siblings to the site, to give you a special birthday and leave a special memory.

"Dad, you've put in so much effort, it's really moving." Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yuchun were directly moved to tears.

"Goodness, Dad, your move is too touching, I almost want to cry; if you used this thought to flirt with a girl, you'd surely succeed every time." Upon hearing Xiao Ming's words, the usually carefree Xiao Yunzhe was also moved.

Xiao Yunzhe was completely won over by Dad's move.

After about ten minutes, several people got off the car, boarded the boat, and arrived by boat at Fujiali Ta Island.

This place, is

e-ce【the Aviation Bureau of Mi Guo】is the place used to send manned or unmanned spacecraft, rockets, etc., into orbit—the Kelinta Aviation Center.

AT and

AT and e-ce have had many collaborations; the two sides have deep affection, and the launch site for tomorrow's "Zihan" rocket is right here.

Ordinary people are not qualified to come here.

But how could Xiao Ming be an ordinary person?

When Xiao Ming's family of four arrived at the Kelinta Aviation Center, AT Company's boss Louis had already been waiting here, with a crowd behind him, very enthusiastic.

At the moment Xiao Ming's family of four stepped out of the car, the venue erupted with thunderous applause.

"Hello, Xiao."

Louis saw Xiao Ming, rushed over, and gave him an enthusiastic hug: "Xiao, long time no see, how are you? When I knew you were coming, I was so happy."

"Really? Thank you, you look like you're doing well, even more well-off." Xiao Ming replied with a smile, glancing at Louis's belly full of lateral meat.

Both laughed.

"Let me introduce: my son Xiao Yunzhe, and my two daughters Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yuchun."

"Oh my gosh." Louis had heard he had a few kids but never confirmed; seeing Xiao Ming bring the children straight to him, he was genuinely surprised.

"They have your flair."

"Overpraised."

Louis greeted Xiao Yunzhe, Xiao Yuchun, and Xiao Jingrou separately.

Xiao Yunzhe showed his excitement; Louis is someone he greatly admires, so upon seeing Louis, he hurriedly took out his phone to take a selfie with him.

"I didn't expect you to like me this much." Louis happily took a photo with Xiao Yunzhe.

"Yes, yes, I admire you so much; many wealthy people put their ambitions into luxury cars and mansions, personal enjoyment, but you have poured your passion into the space industry."

Xiao Yunzhe said earnestly and excitedly.

Louis heard this, chuckled happily: "That sounds good, but I want to say you might be admiring the wrong person; you should actually admire your father."

Louis looked at his good friend Xiao Ming and said teasingly: "Once, Xiao suddenly came to me and said life was too boring, he wanted some excitement, he wanted to spend his retirement on the moon, saying that felt like a pursuit, and he even urged me to join; thus we have everything you see today."

"Child, your father is the one you should admire."

Upon hearing Louis say that, the three siblings looked at Xiao Ming in surprise.

Xiao Yuchun looked at her father with a strange expression, wondering how she remembered; Dad said it wasn't this version—he said Louis wanted to spend his retirement on the moon, and that's why he urged him?

But upon arriving at Louis's place, it became Louis who was urged by Dad.

"Um..." Xiao Ming chuckled, looking at his eldest daughter, never expecting his nervousness to be exposed by Louis.

Is this considered choosing friends unwisely?

"Alright, tired from the journey, where is the accommodation you arranged for us?"

"Okay." Louis couldn't help but nod, leading Xiao Ming's family of four toward the aviation center, taking them to the VIP lounge.

"Xiao, you just rest well here; don't worry about anything else, I'll arrange everything."

As he spoke, Louis chuckled awkwardly and said: "Also, I'm sorry; when I participated in an interview program, I inadvertently revealed your existence; it wasn't intentional."

"No matter, this won't stay hidden for long anyway." Xiao Ming waved his hand indifferently: "Also, Louis, thank you."

They've been good friends for years; no need for many words, they understand each other.

This time, bringing a few kids over will definitely cause Louis a lot of trouble; he also knows Louis can solve all problems, which is why he brought the kids over.

Even if Louis can't make things clear, he can still settle them; it just takes a bit more effort.

"When will we visit Wuxingguo as guests? Let's have a good drink."

"I'll go." Louis's heart moved as he nodded: "I will promptly put this on the schedule."

"It's settled." The two shook hands and then parted.

Tomorrow is the day the rocket ascends; Louis has many things to attend to.

"Dad, this place is too spectacular." From the seventeenth floor, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one can see a rocket launch rack in the distance, especially spectacular, making the three siblings Xiao Yunzhe, Xiao Jingrou, and Xiao Yuchun extremely excited.

"Too domineering."

Xiao Yunzhe quickly pulled out his phone to take a photo.

"Hmm, it's quite impressive." Xiao Ming was also quite shocked; although he is the biggest investor, he has never actually been here before, and must admit that the scientific level of these Americans is truly high.

The development of our country's aviation industry is indeed arduous.

At this time, our country has made such great progress in aviation law development, and Xiao Ming is still quite proud.

He believes that one day, the footprints of Wuxingguo citizens will be printed anywhere in the world.

But for now, what's more important to him is that tomorrow, the children's birthday, he should make the children happy.

Thinking of the children's excited, happy faces, Xiao Ming's mouth corners unconsciously curved upward.

The inner demon silently hoped tomorrow would arrive sooner.

For this special birthday gift, he put in a lot of effort.

The next day, as dawn just broke, Xiao Ming and the children woke up early.

The family of four all looked forward to today's launch of the "Zihan" rocket, especially the three siblings, who were so excited all night that they had no mind to sleep in.

"Dad, look, I posted a WeChat moment yesterday; when I woke up today and checked, it blew up."

Right now, Xiao Yunzhe was sitting on the sofa, happily looking at the WeChat moments he had posted yesterday; the reactions from his classmates, friends, and colleagues in the WeChat were all very intense.
