Chapter 757: Digging Together
Time passed quickly; before we knew it, it was December 25th.
Friday; tomorrow is the weekend.
So Moli Island had many more people.
Guo Yanru and her daughter Lin Qingyue.
Chen Yingqiu and her son Lin Donghu.
Bei Yiren and the twin daughters Lin Shuying and Lin Qingqian.
Wu Qian and her daughter Lin Qiuxia.
The children without Enhancement rode Moli No. 2 and landed on Moli Island under the cover of night.
The five children after Enhancement and the five children without Enhancement showed a clear difference.
The older twins, Bei Shuying and Bei Qingqian, were a bit better and could play together with Lin Chang'e and the others.
Lin Donghu, Lin Qingyue, and Lin Qiuxia stared with wide curious eyes, looking bewildered.
Moli Island suddenly became very lively.
All the mothers of the children, except Han Xiang who was busy filming, were present.
Everyone gathered together, making a lively scene.
For the Lin Family, this was also a grand event.
On the night of the 25th, the children without Enhancement would undergo Enhancement transformation.
Lin Chang'e looked excited.
Song Jiaren didn't come; she is the oldest among the ten children.
But Lin Shiyi seemed a bit nervous.
Moli No. 2 made a second trip and hasn't returned yet.
After Moli No. 2 arrives, his daughter-in-law Ji Youwei will come together with her grandparents.
Although he knows he has a daughter-in-law, Lin Shiyi hasn't met her yet.
He hasn't even seen a photo.
He only knows the daughter-in-law is five years older, smarter, and well‑read.
The second run of Moli took much longer.
Because it was daytime over Mi Guo.
Since the mother ship was bombed twice and the little days inexplicably suffered several bombings, the Americans upgraded the air‑defense system.
They also added related agencies and personnel; Moli running in broad daylight to pick people greatly increased the exposure risk.
Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun must first fly to Xiangjiang, then board Moli No. 2.
The plane is still flying in the sky!
The house was lively, but Lin Shiyi felt out of place.
During this time he quarreled with Lin Chang'e again, more precisely he was angry at Lin Chang'e and the others.
Because the news of the daughter-in-law spread, Lin Chang'e and the others kept teasing Lin Shiyi.
As for the adults, they couldn't agree either.
Late at night, he alone ran to the wide seawall, staring blankly at the distant sea surface.
A spacious room, originally a warehouse, had been arranged into a banquet hall.
A long table over twenty meters long was filled with seafood.
In the banquet hall, besides Lin Feng's family, there were Huang Ziping, Zhao Xiaoyang, Liu Erwa, He Dazhuang, Cai Hao, Duan Fei and others.
Of course the bustle wasn't for celebrating any Christmas.
It was to celebrate the successful test flights of Jasmine No. 3 and Moli No. 4.
After the test flights, there were minor optimizations and improvements that would take only a few days.
By the end of the month, they could go to the Moon to play.
After chatting with Zhao Xiaoyang and the others for a while, Lin Feng sat on the sofa,
holding a glass of red wine, watching Liang Shishi and the others joke.
We had a meeting last time; can we have another small meeting this time?
But after seeing Qi Yao, Lin Feng thought better not to.
Qi Yao has a murderous aura these past two days!
The Scalpel in his hand was almost worn out from being fiddled with.
Lin Feng feared that during the meeting, she might accidentally take out the Scalpel and press it to her own head.
The most discussed topic was what would happen after the children's Enhancement.
For example, Lin Baobao, Lin Qingxia, and Lin Jingru were the clearest examples.
As they talked, the subject turned to Lin Shiyi finding a daughter-in-law.
"Where is Lin Shiyi?"
Everyone scanned around but didn't find Lin Shiyi.
Lin Jingru pointed to the seawall outside and said, "Lin Shiyi ran up to the dam to look at the Moon."
Lin Baobao said, "Lin Shiyi knows his daughter-in-law is coming, and he's a bit nervous."
Lin Qingxia said, "Lin Shiyi usually says he doesn't care, but actually he does."
The chubby Lin Donghu, in a babyish voice, said to Chen Yingqiu, "Mom, I also want a daughter-in-law."
The moment the words fell, everyone burst into laughter.
At this moment, Qi Yao walked over and sat beside Lin Feng.
Qi Yao doesn't like noisy gatherings; even though the topics all concern her, she doesn't take part.
Liang Shishi, Guo Yanru and the others have already gotten used to Qi Yao's attitude, and don't think Qi Yao is putting on an act.
"What are you thinking about?"
Qi Yao asked lightly.
"You guess?"
Lin Feng swirled the red wine in his glass and said with a smile.
Qi Yao looked up and glanced at the mothers of the children who were gathered together, laughing and chatting.
There is now another trend: those who have children have gradually become much closer.
Because they share common topics, a circle has gradually formed.
Speaking of it, this was still created by Lin Chang'e.
If it weren't for the Enhancement potion, such a change, like a chemical reaction, would never have occurred.
Qi Yao, who knows Lin Feng very well, said lightly, "You're currently thinking about the meeting!"
Lin Feng felt a little embarrassed.
It was obvious that Qi Yao had just seen his lecherous look.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Yeah! It's the end of the year, we need to hold a summary conference, see how much money we made this year."
"And what expenses there will be next year, the company we hold also needs to set development direction, calculate budgets, and so on..."
Lin Feng, his face solemn, said a whole lot.
Qi Yao, however, listened attentively.
After Lin Feng finished, Qi Yao said, "Tomorrow I need to go back; the two students I'm handling have some issues, I'll take care of them when I get back."
"What matter?"
Lin Feng asked curiously.
"A matter concerning their profession," Qi Yao said lightly.
Lin Feng nodded, then caught on.
Yao Yao is giving him time and space!
How considerate!
At this moment, Zhao Xiaoyang came over carrying a cup; Qi Yao stood up and went to look at Lin Shiyi, who had run outside.
"Brother, let's go have Alcohol!"
Zhao Xiaoyang pulled Lin Feng up.
At that moment, seeing that Qi Yao had left, Liang Shishi and the others simultaneously glanced toward the door.
"Hey! Did we just say something wrong just now?"
Liang Shishi said.
"What did we say wrong?"
Guo Yanru asked.
Liang Shishi said, "Lin Shiyi is the eldest's son; we just made a joke about Shiyi."
"Now that I think about it, if you joked about Lin Jingru, I would also be displeased."
Bei Yiren said, "She wouldn't be so petty."
Liang Shishi slightly furrowed her brows, smiled and said, "Sister, you mean I'm petty?"
Bei Yiren laughed and said, "You're not petty at all; you have a great capacity."
As soon as the words finished, Guo Yanqiu burst out laughing with a "pfft" sound.
Chen Yingqiu also started laughing.
"Great! Sister, you actually dared to joke about me!"
Liang Shishi lifted her hand hammer and tapped Bei Yiren.
Guo Yanqiu said, "Do you think the boss might be a petty person?"
Everyone shook their heads.
These words reached Lin Feng's ears.
Lin Feng turned his head and glanced at Liang Shishi and the others.
Qi Yao is not a petty person, but in certain aspects, she is extremely petty.
Lin Feng guessed that Liang Shishi and the others were bound to have bad luck.
It was a gut feeling.
Back then!
Everyone kept their distance from Qi Yao out of respect.
Now that they have gradually become familiar, their boldness before Qi Yao has increased.
Based on Lin Feng's understanding of Qi Yao, Qi Yao does not like this distance.
So she will definitely give them a lesson—a small, harmless lesson.
The boss must have authority.
……
"Lin Shiyi, what are you doing?"
Qi Yao walked onto the embankment, saw Lin Shiyi standing there looking into the distance, and asked.
Lin Shiyi wouldn't lie in front of his mother; he turned around, scratched his head and said, "Mom, I'm thinking about Ji Youwei.
Don't misunderstand, I'm just a kid; it's not a matter of feelings, I'm just very curious about her."
Qi Yao said lightly, "Seeing it after a while will be fine."
Lin Shiyi said, "Mom, you have killing aura… no, more precisely, you're a bit angry."
"Hmm!"
Qi Yao nodded, "I'm not a deity, so of course I get angry. But as a rational person, I can't just show my emotions."
"Is it because of dad's matter?"
Lin Shiyi asked.
"No."
Qi Yao shook her head and said, "Your concubines are talking about you; I'm your mother, they're teasing you. They say you have low emotional intelligence, and your grandfather and grandmother worry you'll never find a wife, so they've already found one for you in advance."
"If it were you, would you be angry?"
Lin Shiyi nodded, "I would get angry too; right now because of this, I'm angry at Lin Chang'e and the others!"
Qi Yao patted Lin Shiyi's head, "Anger is anger, but once the feeling passes, we're still family; we can't become enemies over a trivial matter."
"I understand."
Lin Shiyi nodded, "Lin Chang'e often gets angry at me, and I often get angry at her. But after the anger passes, if she encounters danger I'll help her immediately, and we'll face issues together."
"Conversely, she feels the same, so I can fully understand your feelings now, Mother."
Qi Yao smiled.
Lin Shiyi is so sensible.
At that moment, Moli No. 2 suddenly appeared in the sky, descending slowly.
Qi Yao glanced, "Your little daughter‑in‑law is here; after you meet, you must not be rude."
"Got it!"
Lin Shiyi scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.
Then Qi Yao took Lin Shiyi's hand, and the two walked down the embankment.
Back in the banquet hall, Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun, the couple, had already led Ji Youwei to the reception room.
Under Lin Xiangdong and Lin Shiyun's introduction, Ji Youwei was meeting people!
Ji Youwei appeared very polite; after introductions, she smiled broadly and called out people, not at all restrained.
Polite and proper, neither servile nor arrogant.
"This girl is nice!"
Qi Yao glanced and whispered to her son.
Lin Shiyi observed for a while, then whispered, "Mom, I notice she looks like you!"
"Like me?"
Qi Yao was surprised.
Lin Shiyi nodded.
At this time Lin Xiangdong saw Lin Shiyi and Qi Yao; with introductions finished, he waved at Lin Shiyi.
Lin Shiyi walked over.
Lin Xiangdong first introduced Lin Shiyi's mother, Qi Yao, to Ji Youwei.
"Aunt Qi, hello!"
Ji Youwei called out with a smiling face.
Qi Yao nodded, "Hello!"
Then Lin Xiangdong pointed at Lin Shiyi and said, "This is Lin Shiyi."
Ji Youwei stared wide‑eyed at Lin Shiyi, "Aren't you five years younger than me? How do you look only two years younger?"
Lin Shiyi said, "I was only going to turn one at the end of the year, but I grow faster than ordinary kids. Our family's children are different; you'll understand later."
Ji Youwei nodded and didn't press the issue.
Lin Shiyi thought, even if I'm not five years younger but only two, that's even better.
"Let's go talk outside!"
Lin Shiyi glanced at Lin Chang'e, Lin Baobao and the others who were staring at him and Ji Youwei with wide eyes, and said.
"Hmm!"
Ji Youwei actually didn't like such a bustle, so Lin Shiyi's suggestion was just right.
"Shall we hold hands and go out together?"
Lin Shiyi asked softly.
Ji Youwei said, "Only you, a boy, may hold my hand."
"Of course!"
Saying that, Lin Shiyi took Ji Youwei's hand and left the banquet hall.
Behind them, a burst of laughter rang out.
At this moment Lin Chang'e's eyes flicked, "Let's follow them and see what they're saying!"
Lin Baobao, Lin Qingxia, and Lin Jingru nodded.
At that moment, Lin Donghu shouted, "I want to eavesdrop too!"
"Hahaha…"
Even louder laughter sounded.
Lin Chang'e, Lin Baobao, Lin Jingru, and Lin Qingxia went out, and a few minutes later returned.
"Lin Chang'e, what are they saying?"
Tang Mi walked over and asked curiously.
As soon as the words fell, the hall fell silent at once.
Lin Chang'e, imitating Lin Shi Yi's voice, said, "Ji Youwei, you sound like my mother!"
"Hahaha……"
Laughter rang out in the hall again.
Liang Shiyun chuckled wryly, "This kid, just after meeting a girl, says you look like my mother."
Saying that, everyone looked at Qi Yao.
It was true; Ji Youwei really did resemble Qi Yao.
For example, that cold, proud temperament in their bones.
"What else?"
Tang Mi asked again.
Lin Chang'e said helplessly, "Lin Shi Yi is too cunning; he went to the windy side of the sea with his wife to talk, and we couldn't hear them."
……
In fact, half of this banquet was to celebrate Jasmine No. 3 and No. 4.
The other half was for Lin Shi Yi's matter.
After it dispersed, Qi Yao, taking advantage of the night, was about to go home.
Before leaving, Qi Yao pulled Lin Feng to her Laboratory on the island to talk.
"This is for you."
Qi Yao handed a tube of Enhancement Agent to Lin Feng.
"What is this?"
Lin Feng asked curiously.
Qi Yao said calmly, "It's a temporary Enhancement Agent; the one previously developed was a permanent Enhancement. But I think short‑term Enhancement has greater future use."
Lin Feng nodded, "Human hearts are the hardest to gauge; insiders can receive permanent Enhancement, but for those who can be used, short‑term Enhancement is still best."
Qi Yao added, "Because we were developing this short‑term Enhancement Agent, we unintentionally created this. It happens you're about to hold a meeting; it'll come in handy."
Surprise flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.
Qi Yao said nothing else, then asked, "Are you hungry?"
"I'm hungry; I only drank Alcohol all night and didn't eat anything."
An hour later, Qi Yao left Jasmine Island carrying Moli No. 2.
After Qi Yao left, Lin Feng picked up his phone and dialed Qi Yao's number.
Because Qi Yao hadn't yet told him the parameters of this Enhancement Agent!
Qi Yao's phone rang a few times, then went dead.
Then Lin Feng received a text from Qi Yao containing only one number: 20.
Lin Feng looked at the 20 ML capacity on the Enhancement Agent and understood immediately.
……
At this moment, Lin Shi Yi was still chatting with Ji Youwei.
"So it's you; your family gets along well? When I saw you with so many concubines, I thought…"
"I thought it was just like the plot of a palace intrigue drama, right?"
"Mm!"
"Is your mother the eldest?"
My mother never intended to be the eldest; the concubines behind the scenes collectively assigned her that position.
"Your father is really impressive! Your mother and father have a good relationship, right?"
"Of course! But Mom is a bit angry tonight; I guess she's going to set a trap."
"Trap whom? Your concubines, or your father?"
"Probably trap them both together!"
Lin Shi Yi said helplessly, "Usually, only through the father can one trap the concubines, so it has to be a joint trap."
"Isn't your father very clever?"
"Sometimes! Cleverness can be outwitted by cleverness; being in the situation yet unaware of it!"
