"You..." Just as Mother Lin started to speak, she was interrupted by Father Lin.
"She knows everything about the child's affairs. Why do you care so much?" Father Lin only sees his daughter once every six months, but he didn't expect that she would be angry and run away before even finishing a meal.
What's more, the child was in a bad mood when he came back, as if something had happened to him.
As parents, not only can we not help solve problems, but we also hinder our children...
Dad Lin got a little angry when he thought about it.
We finally had a warm and happy atmosphere, but the old woman insisted on causing trouble.
Looking back, I really lost my popularity and I regretted it.
Why bother?
"No..." Lin's mother subconsciously refuted, "I want to..."
"Don't think about anything else, just eat well, drink well and have fun!" Dad Lin continued to intercept while holding back his anger.
Don't quarrel, the atmosphere will be ruined if you quarrel.
Whether it's the daughter arguing with her mother or myself arguing with the old woman, the result is almost the same.
"No! Your daughter..." Mother Lin was stopped by Father Lin twice, and the gun that was originally aimed at Lin Fan was shifted to Father Lin.
Father Lin kicked Mother Lin under the table. "My daughter is great! She's talented, beautiful, has a respectable job, and makes a million dollars a year. She finally comes home for a meal, so why can't she just be at peace?"
Mother Lin felt a pain in her calf and was startled by Father Lin's sudden shout. Then she heard the four emphasis on "annual salary of one million"... She pursed her lips and finally stopped.
Forget it.
Xiaofan is now capable and has a bigger temper.
What if I really lose my popularity and it becomes like the New Year again... I'll be in a difficult position!
Mother Lin comforted herself and decided not to say anything for now and wait for another opportunity to ask.
Father Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had successfully nipped the war in the bud.
He winked proudly at Lin Fan who secretly gave him a thumbs up.
It’s not easy to get Lin Ma to shut up.
Although she had temporarily stopped fighting, she felt uncomfortable because she couldn't say what she wanted to say.
Feeling a pang in her heart, she glanced around, then went to the coffee table to get the remote control and turned on the TV. When the news started playing, she felt much more at ease.
"Hey, don't change it!" Seeing that Mom wanted to change the channel, Dad Lin stood up, grabbed the remote control, turned up the volume, and finally put it next to him. "News, watch the news!"
As a retired veteran and a former advanced member of the Party, Father Lin's political awareness is extremely high.
A few years ago, when Lin Fan was at home, her father would watch the news while discussing the international situation with her.
With that posture, people who didn’t know him would think he was a senior leader of some department.
Now that they have a new smart TV, Dad Lin doesn’t know how to turn it on, so he watches TV less.
If I want to read the news, I have to wear reading glasses and use my phone. It's much more difficult than before.
Mommy Lin finally turned on the TV, which was broadcasting live news on the big screen, and Daddy Lin certainly couldn't miss it.
Mother Lin also knew his habit and did not fight with him for it.
Originally, she didn't care what she was watching; she just wanted some sound to cover up her embarrassment of not being able to talk nonsense.
The 60-inch TV has clear picture quality and loud sound, which makes Dad Lin feel very comfortable watching it.
Lin Fan happened to be there too, and he couldn't help but start reading the news and commenting on it again.
"This drought and water shortage have had a significant impact on agriculture. If this continues, grain production in the second half of the year will decrease. We should intervene..."
"GDB growth hasn't really materialized. Wages aren't rising, prices are skyrocketing. What's the point..."
"The Dragon Boat Festival holiday is going to be adjusted again. Everyone is confused by all the picking and choosing. What's the point of adjusting it? Doesn't it make them feel like their year's salary wasn't wasted? When can they have a good holiday?"
…
Lin Fan's seat wasn't facing the TV, so if he wanted to watch it, he had to turn around.
She was not in the mood to watch the news. She just focused on eating and only nodded in agreement after Lin's father finished his comments.
"Yes, that's right."
"That's right, those experts don't see it as clearly as you do."
"Everyone is unhappy, and those people are happy." ...
Until the international news came on TV.
P country xxx is preparing to launch an unprecedented giant carrier rocket.
Lin Fan then put down his bowl and turned to look at the TV.
In the news reports, the picture of the giant carrier rocket on the fixed stand was prominently seen.
The announcer continued, "If the giant carrier rocket launches successfully, Country P's aerospace technology will have a new powerful addition."
In recent years, the science and technology of Country P has developed rapidly, and aerospace technology should not be underestimated.
Not to mention the International Space Station that has been built for many years, there are also thousands of satellites of various types distributed in space, almost all of which were launched by Country P.
As for Country H, although the aerospace situation has been very good in the past two years and the space station has been built steadily, it is undeniable that objective gaps still exist.
The news was not long and was broadcast quickly.
Lin Fan didn't come back to his senses immediately.
"Oh! I wonder when our aerospace industry will surpass Country P." Dad Lin sighed and took a cigarette out of the cigarette box.
Seeing Lin Fan turning around and looking at him intently, he awkwardly put the cigarette back. "Dad doesn't smoke. I just took it out to look at it..."
Lin Fan didn't even notice what her father was doing; she was completely absorbed in his lament. "Do you also hope that our aerospace industry can surpass Country P?"
"I hope so! Of course I hope so!" Lin's mother interrupted, "Who wouldn't want the sky to be filled with our satellites? Then when we fight an information war, we won't have to worry about the devils from Country P."
Lin Fan turned around in surprise. He didn't expect that an old lady like Lin's mother actually knew about information warfare?
I guess the information war in her mind is quite different from the actual situation... But it doesn't matter...
Lin Fan smiled as he listened to his father. "I do want to, but we're not unaware of the gap."
He took a sip of his baijiu, tsked his lips, and slowly shook his head. "Back when I was in the army, working on infrastructure, what kind of hard labor was there that no one was willing to do?"
Lin's father was a soldier back then, and happened to be assigned to a satellite launch base. He had boasted to Lin Fan about his glory days more than once.
"But what we lack now is not people..." Father Lin sighed deeply and placed the wine glass on the table with a crisp sound.
"We ordinary people don't understand technology. If I could get on board, I'd risk my life to contribute!" Father Lin said, shaking his head. "When we successfully developed the first satellite..."
Dad Lin started talking about the same old things again.
If it were the old Lin Fan, she would have lost her patience long ago. But this time, she said nothing and just listened quietly.
How difficult was the aerospace technology back then? It took people a lot of effort to survive in the cracks, and finally laid the foundation for what we have today. It took the efforts of many generations, the youth and dreams of so many people.
"Fortunately, it's pretty good now! Pretty good!" Father Lin said, his face brightening again. "Hasn't the space station been built? It's countless times better than others. Sooner or later, we'll surpass them!"
"Come, let's toast to the unsung heroes who have contributed to the aerospace industry!"
Lin Fan raised his glass, and the bitterness in his eyes was unclear whether it was for his predecessors or for himself.
Seeing that the smiling faces of Lin's father and mother had become blurred, she narrowed her eyes and spoke loudly.
"Cheers to space exploration!"
Sometimes, making up one's mind requires an opportunity. This opportunity is what Lin Fan relies on most in his heart.
