59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

"grandfather!"

Fatty Wang stood at the door in surprise and said excitedly that he had been worried for a long time and was afraid that they would not come.

"Haha, Kaixuan, this is great. You've made great progress this year. Keep working hard next year and try to get 70, 80, or 90 points like Chen Hao."

"Yes, Grandpa!"

It’s his grandfather who loves him and understands him!

Fatty Wang thought distortedly.

Chen Feng sighed in his heart. No matter Hu Bayi or Wang Pangzi, they were both oppressed too much by their parents' expectations of them becoming successful, and could only get some family warmth from their grandparents.

No wonder both of them don’t want to go back home after their grandfather passed away!

I would rather hang out outside than go home.

When everyone is present, the banquet begins.

Of course, the Chen family has more than just these two old friends in Beijing, but the others either live far away, not in Nanluoguxiang, or are of the level of Sha Zhu, so how could they be qualified to sit at the table!

Also, we can’t have too many people, the kitchen is only this big, and the table is only this big!

The Chen family, the Hu family, and the Wang family, just right!

There are too many people, Chen Li is probably going to cry!

Several adults who liked to drink sat together, and several children who loved to eat meat sat on the other side. As the eldest grandson, Chen Feng had to pour wine for the elders today.

This is the rule!

Neither Chen Hao nor Hu Bayi can do it for him!

"Big pot, I want to eat pig's feet!"

The foodies on Chen Li's side were such big eaters that they quickly finished a plate of pig's trotters, forcing Chen Li to focus her attention on another plate of pig's trotters in front of the adults who were drinking.

She didn't dare to look for Zhou Qing as Chen Jianjun was toasting, so she had to look for Chen Feng.

"Give me one. Don't ask for more. Eat something else."

Chen Feng smiled and used the serving chopsticks to pick up the biggest pig's trotter for the little girl, who nodded happily.

Fatty Wang's mother's belly was also quite big, and she was asking Zhou Qing about some tips on how to take care of the fetus during pregnancy so that the child could be smarter and at least get first place in the exam when he grows up.

Huo Zhilan couldn't help laughing beside her.

Fatty Wang's mother, like Zhou Qing, is a country woman with a low level of education.

The difference is that she is a mixed-race, a mixture of Han and Uyghur.

God knows why Fatty Wang only inherited the Uyghurs’ strength but not their beauty.

The meal took more than an hour. After the meal, the children went to the study to play games, the adults continued to sit in the kitchen and talk about current affairs, and the women wisely went to the study to accompany the children.

"Many old buddies have suffered relapses of their old injuries this year. I don't know if they can survive this cold winter." Hu Yunxuan talked about the recent military deployments and couldn't help but sigh that time is unforgiving.

People of their generation have fought for their entire lives, walked thousands of miles, climbed snow-capped mountains, suffered too much, and suffered too many hidden injuries.

Not everyone could live to be over 60 years old after the war.

In an era when the average life expectancy was in the 40s and 50s, even with the most advanced medical care and health care, many comrades-in-arms died from various diseases.

Veterans never die, what never dies is their spirit.

Long-term suffering seriously depletes a lot of vitality and shortens lifespan.

"If it weren't for this, why would the higher-ups allocate so much money and food in the hope of finding the Zhang family's ancient recipe for prolonging life and health when supplies are scarce across the country?"

Huo Zhilan said this using the words of a scientist.

If we use their tomb-robbing jargon, what is the ancient recipe for prolonging life and health? It is clearly the art of longevity!

Wang Shengli has always had some doubts about this. He has not really witnessed the longevity of the Zhang family, and he scoffs at the so-called immortality. He is most opposed to the pursuit of such illusory things.

"I think it's just a waste of resources. So many emperors in ancient times pursued immortality. Smart people like Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Li Shimin were all unable to find the elixir of life. Why are there always people who are unwilling to give up?"

The old man smiled and said, "You don't understand. When you get old, you will understand our fear."

"Fear?"

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid that my descendants will be useless and unable to inherit the family business, causing all our hard work to be wasted." Old Master Wang took over the topic and said, "Isn't this why you force Kaixuan to study hard and learn martial arts every day?"

"You are afraid that your son will be useless in the future, but I am not afraid that you will be useless?"

Wang Shengli looked embarrassed.

"Dad, I'm not as bad as you say, am I?"

"It's the same!" said Mr. Wang with a smile.

"Maybe he will be the emperor forever?" Wang Shengli jumped over him and teased with a bit of sarcasm.

Hu Yunxuan took the warm juice poured by Chen Feng and said with a smile: "Having held power and enjoyed the taste of being above ten thousand people, who wouldn't want to be in power forever?"

"I believe the old man wants to, and I want to, too."

"But it's still different." Wang Shengli complimented, "I believe that when the old man is in power, he will only work for the country. He will definitely not waste a lot of materials to do something worthless for personal desires."

The old man drank watermelon juice calmly.

He just treats himself as such a person!

Anyway, if he knew about the Zhang family’s base in Changbai Mountain, he would definitely mobilize the army to move those antiques!

Not to mention the value of the mysteries of life hidden in it, the various insects and plants in the ancient tombs of Changbai Mountain alone have enormous research value.

To be able to raise such a big insect, the food it eats must definitely not be simple.

If you succeed, no matter how big the initial losses are, it will be worth it.

But not now!

At least we have to wait until the country recovers its national strength and the level of science and technology reaches the level of full mechanization like the foreigners!

Relying on manpower to dig out the secrets deep in Changbai Mountain, even ten Changsheng Mountains will not be enough!

This is only possible with a huge machine like the United Nations Army!

This is the mistake above!

From the beginning to the end, he knew that this was a trap, a huge trap, but he couldn't say it!

It's no use saying it!

It will only get crazier!

They really don't care about the losses. When there are countless people starving across the country, digging Changbai Mountain is no different from Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty?

Opening the canal is a good thing, destroying Goryeo is also a good thing, and weakening the Guanlong clans is absolutely not wrong.

But the mistake is doing it all at the same time!

A person's energy is limited, and a country's resources are also limited. Within limited capabilities, you can only do things within your capabilities and cannot exceed your capabilities.

This will make people exhausted!

How did the Qin and Sui dynasties fall?

"Speaking of this, Zhilan, what do the higher-ups think? They won't conduct another investigation, right?" Chen Jianjun didn't want the masters of Changsheng Mountain to fall into it again and again.

But once a scientific expedition team is formed again, people must be sent!

There's no other way. Since everyone else has gone, you have to go. What if others have mastered it and you lose the results because no one is there to go? You will regret it for the rest of your life.

Just like an atomic bomb, we know that its development requires huge amounts of resources and there is a possibility of failure.

But others are already developing it, can you not do it?

No!

Roll it up, everyone roll to death!

Chen Jianjun cursed angrily in his heart.
