Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 368 Accompanying Fang Lan Home

"Like." Lin Chen had the same feeling and nodded slightly.

"If humans can land on the moon on a large scale in the future, we will carry out construction there, unleash the power of China's infrastructure maniacs, and work hard for decades. I think the moon can completely become another Earth! When the time comes, when we look at the moon from the ground, it will be like looking at the Earth from space, with bright lights at night and people coming and going during the day!" Fang Lan said excitedly.

"Honey, when will you be able to see people coming and going on Earth in satellite photos?" Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Yes! You can see it on Baidu Maps! It's also on Google Earth!" Fang Lan argued with a smile.

"Oh, that's true." Lin Chen nodded and smiled, "But the distance between the earth and the moon is hundreds of thousands of kilometers. If you want to see people coming and going on the moon with your naked eyes, your eyes must be super powerful! But if you use a space telescope, it is possible."

Fang Lan nodded and smiled, "Then I will work hard to make money and buy a space telescope! Aren't there probes and national flags on the moon now? I'll take a look first. If the United States and my country go to the moon on a large scale in the future, we won't have to buy any more."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You are really thinking ahead. Do you know how much the Harper Space Telescope costs now? It's hundreds of billions of RMB! With your salary, when can you afford it?"

At the same time, he thought to himself, maybe I could buy you one someday and give you a surprise.

"Ah? So expensive?" Fang Lan blinked cutely and said, "I saw on Pinduoduo a few days ago that a telescope for stargazing only costs a few hundred yuan!"

"That's called an 'astronomical telescope', and the price ranges from a few hundred yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan." Lin Chen smiled and shook his head helplessly, "We are a couple living together, how can there be such a big difference in our character?"

"Go to hell, you'll be brilliant if you give you some sunshine!" Fang Lan hit him and laughed, "We are all top students who graduated from the same school, so how can one of us be worse than the other? I just lowered my standards on purpose to give you a chance to show your talent!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "But the entertainment industry may help you make your first fortune. I heard that a TV series can earn hundreds of millions, and a big movie can earn billions. If your book is successful, you may be able to afford a space telescope."

Fang Lan nodded, her eyes twinkling like stars, full of hope.

At this time, the traffic jam finally ended, and the Tesla drove forward again at a high speed and soon reached its destination.

It was a small village with elegant pastoral Hui-style buildings built along the water.

The houses are clustered together to form a comma shape, while the pond is like a reversed comma. The two together form the shape of a Tai Chi symbol.

The houses are some one-story and some two-story, with ups and downs like mountains.

The walls are all painted white, and the roof tiles are gray-black.

Some of the walls are painted with oriental paintings, as if they were drawn with a huge brush.

Among them are paintings of ladies, landscapes, animals, etc., simple sketches, which have the feeling of cartoons from the 20s.

The characteristics of Hui style architecture are simplicity and agility.

The eaves flew up like a giant bird spreading its wings.

Occasionally, there would be some useless decorative walls standing there, like the jagged skeletons of giant birds.

Fang Lan pointed and introduced to Lin Chen along the way: "This is the second uncle's house... this is the third aunt's house... this is the forest where I picked fruit when I was a child... this is my favorite fruit shop... this is where I buy bubble gum..." Lin Chen smiled and nodded, greeting people from time to time.

Fang Lan took him to a courtyard with an open door and pictures of Zhong Kui and Guan Gong on it. Big red lanterns were hung high up, like two big peaches.

"Mom, I'm back!" Fang Lan shouted towards the house as she walked.

Lin Chen couldn't help laughing. He knew that in some places "Momma" meant "nanny". But he still understood the dialect here, and "Momma" meant mother.

A middle-aged woman in her forties came out. She was thin and had a smiling face.

She was still wearing a cooking apron, and as she wiped her hands she smiled and said, "Oh my, my little baby, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

"Lanlan is back? My woman Lan." A middle-aged man wearing glasses walked over from the study room on the side, talking and laughing.

Lin Chen understood it immediately. "Lan woman" does not mean "lazy woman" or "bad woman", but is a joke using the homonym of Fang Lan's name.

"Hello, uncle! Hello, aunt!" Lin Chen bowed and smiled to the two of them in standard Mandarin.

"Well, this is Lin Chen! So handsome! Definitely a young talent!" Fang Lan's father looked Lin Chen up and down and nodded with satisfaction.

Fang Lan's mother called out, "Go to the study and chat with your father. I still have a few dishes to cook."

"Mom, I don't want to chat with Dad. I want to cook with you." Fang Lan said with a smile, then carried the gift and went into the kitchen with Fang Lan's mother.

"Hi, you're still the same, you like being with your mom. My woman Lan." Fang Lan's father shook his head, looked at the two's backs, then turned around and called Lin Chen to go to the study.

Lin Chen and Fang Lan's father walked into the study together.

He found that the room was decorated very exquisitely. Although it was only a few dozen square meters in size, it seemed full and not crowded.

The walls are covered with wallpaper that resembles sandalwood, giving it an authentic feel.

Several large bookcases stand against the wall, some are painted red, some are green, all of them are made of pure wood, and various books are neatly placed inside.

Near the window, there is an octagonal table. The sunlight shines through the window onto the table, creating alternating light and dark shadows with a cinematic beauty.

On one side of the Eight Immortals Table, there is an armchair covered with pure silk cushions embroidered with dragon patterns, making the armchair look quite royal, as if it were the throne of Emperor Qianlong.

The four treasures of the study are placed on the desk, exuding the atmosphere of ancient literati.

The pen holder is made in the shape of mountains, with more than a dozen large and small mountains on it, and is dotted with tiny figures and pavilions.

One of the figures is a peasant woman carrying a hoe, wearing a bamboo hat, and walking across the bridge with a smile; the other is a woman playing the zither in a pavilion, dressed in green, with long flowing hair, looking like an immortal. The inkstone is designed in the shape of a lake, with a small hill next to it and a temple on it, which is emitting white smoke, as if someone is really burning incense inside. Next to the inkstone is a thread-bound book with traditional Chinese characters on the pages.

"These items are so exquisite!" Lin Chen smiled politely, his eyes moving over the four treasures of the study that looked like miniature landscapes.

"That's right," Fang Lan's father said with a smile, waving his hand to signal Lin Chen to sit down, "Have you heard of the ship in Su Dongpo's Red Cliff? Legend has it that it was carved intact on a walnut, which shows that there are many talented craftsmen. These things have that meaning, but I spent a lot of effort to find them on Taobao."

"Your study is full of traditional Chinese charm. I didn't expect you to shop on Taobao." Lin Chen said with a smile, putting down the things in his hand.

"That's called keeping up with the times!" Fang Lan's father said with a smile, "By the way, you can just call me by my name. My name is Fang Hai. I like the feeling of being on an equal footing with young people. It's like I've returned to my youth."

"Haha, you are young anyway! Time, this butcher knife, doesn't exist for you at all." Lin Chen laughed, "Just like when Fang Lan and I went home, we got in the car and arrived without even realizing it. It was as if this was our little home, and a few hours passed in the blink of an eye."

"What you said is very profound. It is not something that ordinary women and girls can understand." Fang Hai said with a smile.

"I see my uncle is reading an ancient thread-bound book. I wonder what the content is?" Lin Chen asked casually.

"Oh, that's 'Walan Guanzhi'." Fang Hai explained, "Walan is a storytelling place in ancient times, just like the modern Deyun Club. 'Guanzhi' means to be absorbed in reading and stop, imitating 'Guwen Guanzhi'. This book records all the strange stories in ancient times. It is worth reading and can be used to kill time."

"I see that my uncle is reading with great interest, which shows that this book is very interesting." Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Books all have smells. Either sour or bookish. That's why bookworms treat them as food!" Fang Hai laughed, and Lin Chen couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the aroma of food came from outside. Fang Lan smiled and said, "You two should pause the crosstalk conference for a while, and we can have dinner here!"

When they walked over, they saw a table full of delicious dishes arranged neatly, with wisps of hot steam rising, just like the fairyland of a Taoist temple in the mountains.

In the center is a pot of bright red Mapo Tofu, which symbolizes a prosperous life and is as clean as tofu.

Surrounding it is a circle of dishes that look like arhats, including Nanjing pressed duck, West Lake lotus root fish, Shaanxi smoked pork, Northeast spicy chicken, Yunnan dried bamboo shoots, Sichuan goose, etc.

"This is truly a full banquet!" Lin Chen said with a smile.

Everyone laughed. Fang Lan's mother cleaned up, took off her apron, and changed into a festive silk dress, which looked quite elegant. The family ate around the table, chatting casually about family matters, and soon it was evening.

"Uncle and aunt, I won't live here anymore. I've told my parents that I'll be home for dinner in the evening." Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, have a safe trip." Fang Hai liked him very much and patted his shoulder with a smile.

When Lin Chen returned home, he found the house very lively. All the aunts and uncles were laughing and joking. It turned out that this day was not only the Little New Year, but also Lin Chen's mother's birthday.

"Mom, I'm back!" Lin Chen walked in with a smile and hugged his mother.

"Xiao Qingzi is getting more and more handsome! He must have charmed a lot of young girls!" The aunt looked at Lin Chen and nodded with a smile.

"Could it be that you, the old witch, are so attracted that you want to score twice?" the elder aunt on the side joked, poking the younger aunt's armpit.

"Why don't you just die!" The younger aunt laughed and hit the older aunt, and the two of them made a mess, while the others laughed so hard that they fell over.

"Don't call me Xiao Qingzi anymore. It sounds like a eunuch." Lin Chen smiled at his aunt, "I'm grown up and have a girlfriend. You have to respect me!"

"Oh my, you've grown up already? Why haven't you seen the girl come? Could she be your imaginary girlfriend?" The aunt still teased him.

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly, watched everyone laugh, then leaned against his mother and started chatting about family matters.

After staying at home with his parents, the second day of New Year's Eve soon arrived and the family went to visit the grave. Then a day later, his aunt brought her children to visit Lin Chen's parents to wish them a happy new year.

My aunt is forty years old this year, and she is dressed up gorgeously. Her hair is curled, and she is wearing a bright red silk dress with a peony embroidered in the middle, blue pants on her legs, and army green shoes on her feet, which are inlaid with fake plastic gems. She looks like a colorful flag.

The aunt also brought her uncle and her son's family to celebrate the New Year with laughter. As they talked, the topic turned to Lin Chen.

"What has Lin Chen been doing after graduation?" the aunt asked with a smile.

"Oh, I opened a repair shop." Lin Chen said lightly.

After hearing this, my aunt was a little flattered. She smiled and said, "You've always had good grades since you were young. If you don't work in a government department, you should at least work in a company. Why did you open a repair shop? That's so undignified!"

"In the past, they were considered hawking goods with baskets or performing on the street, right?" Lin Chen didn't want to ruin the New Year atmosphere, so he just followed his aunt's words and made a joke.

"Yeah! That's right!" Auntie smiled and waved her hands. It was unclear whether she was being sarcastic or agreeing. She smiled and said, "But I see that the car you drive is really good. It's mortgaged, right? You borrowed a lot of money, right? Young people shouldn't spend ahead of time. How much pressure will you have in life in the future!"

Lin Chen nodded and said with a smile: "I have to pay back a lot of money every month. It's too hard for me!" Then he pretended to wipe the sweat off his head. Everyone laughed, and the awkward atmosphere was relieved for a while.

My aunt smiled and said, "Look at my son. After graduation, he joined China Resources Group, which is one of the Fortune 500 companies! He earns more than 10,000 yuan a month!"

"Mom, you're talking nonsense again. It's in the Fortune 500, not extremely strong." The aunt's son poked his mother and said with a smile.

Everyone laughed so hard that they fell backwards, which dissipated a lot of the boasting in the aunt's words. However, the aunt did not forget to boast and continued to laugh: "Yes, yes. So, Lin Chen, you don't need to open a repair shop. Find a company. It sounds high-end and makes a lot of money, right? It's worth it for your parents to train you for so many years."

"Yes, auntie is right." Lin Chen said with a smile, still calm and composed.

Seeing that Lin Chen was flattering her blindly, the aunt felt that he had no confidence, so she became even more arrogant and said with a smile: "If it's difficult, just let my son come forward and talk to the leaders to recruit you. Your university is great and your grades are good, so it won't be difficult to get in!"

“Okay, maybe call Auntie if you need anything.
