Everyone looked at the thick smoke billowing not far away, and the high temperature brought by the explosion was enough to melt a lot of metal.

This mistake meant they might have to start over, but there was no way around it.

"Williams Lian, I don't know why this happened. We checked the rocket up and down at least ten times before launching it."

"As for why this happened now, my initial estimate is that the rocket skidded when it was parked vertically on the tripod at the base of the rocket generator. Then the rocket did not stop, so..."

The engineer on the side did not dare to say anything further.

"Hmph! I give you such a high salary every month and this is how you repay me. If such a big mistake happens again, I don't think you will have to do it anymore!!"

Seeing that their boss had put down his harsh words, several people did not dare not agree again.

"yes!"

…………

Time moved forward for another ten days, and it happened to be New Year's Day. Liu Cong followed Lieutenant General Li Hu and got off the helicopter.

The space launch base is now on track, so Liu Cong can rest peacefully for a few days before going there again.

"Academician Liu, I have really gone back. My family is waiting for me to celebrate the holidays."

"Well, Lieutenant General Li, you should go back early, my sister-in-law is still waiting at home!"

Speaking of sister-in-law, Lieutenant General Li Hu looked at Liu Cong with some embarrassment.

"Hey, what are you talking about? I'm really afraid of your sister-in-law. If she didn't force me to go back, I wouldn't go back!"

Lieutenant General Li Hu said this on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart.

"Lieutenant General Li, you and your sister-in-law haven't seen each other for almost half a year. Go back quickly. Everything is safe here."

"Hey! Okay!"

In this way, Liu Cong watched Lieutenant General Li Hu's helicopter slowly drive away, and then he returned to school and drove away his own car.

Thinking that it had been a while since he went back, Liu Cong bought some gifts and took them back.

It was already noon when Liu Cong got home, just in time for lunch.

Since there was no prior notice, the family was a little surprised to see Liu Cong back.

"Grandpa, grandma, when did you come here and why didn't you say hello to me?"

Liu Cong held the gift in both hands and stood blankly in the living room watching the family eat.

"Dasun, you are back, hurry up, put down your things and eat!!"

Li Xiulan, who saw Liu Cong coming back, happily greeted Liu Cong.

"Why!"

Liu Cong put the gift aside, then ran to the kitchen to wash his hands and got himself a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

After sitting down, Liu Jianguo and Li Xiulan looked directly at Liu Cong.

But Liu Yang and Zhang Guimei seemed more natural.

"You are so famous now, have you forgotten your grandfather?"

Liu Jianguo's words almost choked Liu Cong who was eating.

"Grandpa, aren't I a little busy?"

"Okay! I support you in your contribution to the country! I didn't expect that your boy would develop into this!"

Li Xiulan saw Liu Jianguo like this from the side and said quickly: "Old man, stop talking!"

"It's okay, grandma. This thing is my fault. I should have called you more often."

"Otherwise, my grandparents will reach the age of retirement. Otherwise, you should quit your jobs over there and come to Peiping!"

Liu Cong had this idea before, but he never implemented it. Today, the two elders happened to be here, so Liu Cong just made it clear.

Seeing that the two old people did not speak, Liu Yang on the side also added: "Yes! You have reached the age of retirement, so don't stay and teach in the university!"

"Yes, yes! Dad, Mom, we have the same idea as your grandson."

Liu Jianguo looked at Liu Cong's family of three, and then at Li Xiulan.

"Forget it, I won't plan on it for now. I still have a few students over there that I haven't brought out yet. I also really love this profession."

"Let's wait until the day I can't do it anymore and then think about it!!"

Li Xiulan looked at Liu Jianguo, and then nodded in agreement.

Liu Cong knew his grandfather's temper and believed that nothing would change, so he simply followed the old man's wishes.

"Grandpa and grandma, if you stay here a few more days, I can play chess with you, grandpa."

Liu Jianguo's eyes gleamed when he heard about playing chess.

"Okay, I'd like to show you my current chess skills!"

After the meal, the two men quickly set up a chess board in the living room and began their afternoon game.

Liu Jianguo was still very confident at first, but as he got further down the line, his brows became more and more furrowed.

Liu Cong saw his grandfather's stubbornness, so he secretly gave Liu Jianguo a few words, which made him extremely happy.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Cong received a call from Chen Qiong, saying that his parents called him to have dinner at night.

Liu Cong really couldn't refuse this request, so he agreed to Chen Qiong.

When it was almost the same time, Liu Cong explained the situation to his family and prepared to go to Chen Qiong's parents' house.

Chen Qiong's parents' home is not far from Liu Cong's home, because they are in a villa area and are only about one or two kilometers apart.

Liu Cong first went to the largest luxury shopping mall in Peiping to buy gifts for Chen Qiong's parents, and then drove to Chen Qiong's home.

When she learned that Liu Cong was arriving, Chen Qiong was already waiting outside.

"Why did you come here and bring gifts! These gifts look very expensive at first sight."

Liu Cong's left and right hands were full. Hearing what Chen Qiong said, Liu Cong looked unconcerned.

"It's okay, the purple clay pot I bought today is not as expensive as yours!" Liu Cong joked.

Chen Qiong looked at Liu Cong, smiled, and then went in with Liu Cong on her arm.

This dinner was relatively harmonious, and Chen Qiong's parents' attitude towards Liu Cong was also very different from before.

"Xiao Liu! When will you marry my Xiaoqiong!"

"Your aunt and I are still waiting for the wedding banquet. After all, my Xiaoqiong is also the eldest and it's time to get married."

Hearing what Chen Mingcheng said, Liu Cong smiled naturally.

"Probably this year or next year, when I finish all the things I'm doing, I can get married to her."

With that said, Liu Cong looked at Chen Qiong standing aside.

Chen Qiong expressed her understanding, "Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry about our affairs."

Seeing that neither of the two young people were too anxious about their marriage, I, as a parent, were too embarrassed to say anything.

After dinner, Liu Cong said goodbye to Chen Qiong's family and returned to his home.

The next day, Liu Cong woke up in his room.

He originally thought he could have a comfortable New Year's Day holiday, but a phone call shattered all Liu Cong's dreams.
