PFC Chapter 673 Opportunity
Chapter 673 Opportunity
After dinner, Lin Ping chatted with everyone for a few minutes, then took out a small booklet and muttered to himself on the balcony.
Lin Yuyao was a little surprised, "Lin Ping, why are you so diligent? You don't even forget to memorize vocabulary while taking leave."
"It will be very useful. I'll tell you when it becomes useful."
At this moment, Lin Dawei also came out onto the balcony. "Lin Ping, what are you muttering to yourself? It sounds like a spell. Your sister is pregnant, so stop talking nonsense here."
Lin Ping looked speechless. "What incantation? Dad, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. I'm reciting English. I'm memorizing vocabulary."
"English? Why are you reading this? Is it to ward off evil spirits?"
"Tsk tsk, no one will look down on you for being uncultured, but it's wrong of you to insist on being annoying."
Lin Dawei: "..."
Ye Lian also came out, "Alright, your father only said that because he doesn't understand. If you do understand, then explain it to him properly. Why are you insulting him?"
"Oh dear, this was arranged by higher-ups. I'm attending a military academy, would the country harm me? Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, and even if you do, I can't tell you."
Hearing him say that, they wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
Lin Yuyao frowned.
Is he frantically studying English because he's planning to go abroad?
But given their status, they probably won't have much of a chance to go abroad in their lifetime.
Unless there is a special mission.
Lin Yuyao looked at Fu Huaiyi.
Fu Huaiyi whispered in her ear, "It might be related to studying abroad."
Lin Ping only had a few hours off, and Fu Huaiyi had to take him back in the afternoon.
On the way, Lin Ping asked, "Brother-in-law, when is my sister going to give birth?"
"Around the 10th of next month, I guess."
"Sigh!" Lin Ping sighed. "I don't know if I can get leave again."
"Why are you taking leave? There are so many of us, we won't let you be there for the birth."
Lin Ping: "..." That's true.
"Brother-in-law, do you think I have a chance of being selected?"
Do you want to be chosen?
"Of course! Didn't you say that foreign technology is much better than ours? If I have the chance, I really want to go and see for myself how much better they are than us."
"Hmm." Fu Huaiyi sighed and said, "The mission we shoulder is related to the next two generations. If we lay a solid foundation, the next generation may be able to catch up with the most advanced technologies abroad."
"Can this really work? People across the ocean have been developing for over a hundred years. The Qing Dynasty people were so conservative—let's not even talk about that far back—just look at the last few decades. That little island next door has developed; while they're vigorously developing science, we're doing the Great Leap Forward, focusing on intellectuals..."
"Alright, Lin Ping, remember your place. There are some things you shouldn't say. What's past is past. No matter what, the fact that we have a quiet desk to study now is thanks to the blood and sweat of our ancestors. Remember, no one can change the past, only the future."
Lin Ping nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll definitely try my best to get this opportunity."
After saying that, he took out his notebook and started memorizing words again.
Fu Huaiyi glanced at the tiny characters...
He silently slowed down, trying to drive as smoothly as possible to avoid Lin Ping throwing up all over his car later.
……
Fu Huaiyi returned home very late after dropping Lin Ping off. Without even having time to rest, he quickly boiled water for his wife to soak her feet. He would also massage them later to prevent them from swelling up again.
The two chatted while getting massages.
"Is Lin Ping preparing to go abroad?"
Fu Huaiyi nodded. "Yes, we don't know yet if it will work out. He's trying to get it done."
"This...is a mission?"
"Yes, we'll send them out as exchange students, but as students at other schools."
Lin Yuyao was startled. "How could I possibly know this?"
Fu Huaiyi smiled and said, "It doesn't reach that level of secrecy. Don't worry, I won't tell you anything that's top secret."
That's what she said, but Lin Yuyao still felt that it was better not to bring it up.
"A total of three people will go: two from the school and one from our office."
"Huh? You guys are going too? As students?"
"Ah."
Lin Yuyao looked Fu Huaiyi up and down, wondering if he really wasn't too old.
Fu Huaiyi: "Why are you looking at me? I'm not going."
Actually, if it weren't for his marriage, he would have applied to go.
However, there's no need to tell her about this.
"Who's going?" she asked curiously.
"It's not decided yet. We'll definitely choose someone young, or at least someone who looks young and has a youthful spirit."
After massaging her for a while, Fu Huaiyi helped her onto the bed and then lay on her stomach to listen to the baby's movements.
The children got used to his voice, and they would interact with him whenever they heard him talking to his stomach.
He stretches his arms and legs for a while.
Pregnancy is inherently difficult, especially twins.
However, Fu Huaiyi was involved throughout the entire process, which made her feel that the pregnancy was not just her own affair, but a matter for both of them.
This made her feel that pregnancy wasn't so difficult after all.
Sometimes women aren't afraid of childbirth, nor are they afraid of hardship or fatigue; they're afraid that no matter how much they give, people will take it all for granted.
They never see your efforts, and they always feel that you haven't done enough.
Every minute will suffocate you, every word will break you down, and you'll live like a joke.
She originally planned to remain unmarried for life, but Fu Huaiyi was worth it.
……
Fu Huaiyi has been having trouble sleeping lately, his mind constantly replaying Lu Jiangting's crazy ramblings.
His mother-in-law said his words were crazy, but Fu Huaiyi remembered that when he was pursuing Yao Yao, Yao Yao said that she had a terrible nightmare in which she failed to break off her engagement with Lu Jiangting and was entangled with Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing for the rest of her life.
Could it be that Lu Jiangting, this madman, had the same dream as Lu Jiangting, who is now saying those things?
Lin Yuyao was half asleep and felt the urge to go to the toilet. When she opened her eyes, she found that Fu Huaiyi was still awake.
What's wrong with you lately?
Fu Huaiyi snapped out of his daze. "Did I wake you up?"
"No, I need to go to the restroom."
"Let me help you." Fu Huaiyi quickly put his arm around her and gave her support.
He helped her walk towards the bathroom. As Lin Yuyao moved slowly, she asked, "Do you think you have prenatal anxiety?"
Fu Huaiyi nodded: "Maybe so, I... am indeed a little scared."
Lin Yuyao chuckled, "I'm not afraid, so why are you? I haven't even developed prenatal anxiety, but you have."
Fu Huaiyi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'm not as good as you."
Fu Huaiyi ultimately chose to say nothing. Yao Yao was about to give birth, and if he said anything now, what if he scared her into having an accident?
So never mind, we'll talk about it later.
