Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 639 Going Home
Three days later, a spaceship that looked like it came straight out of a science fiction movie slowly landed at the airbase.

Immediately, Zhou Jingyi, whose temples were already gray, ran forward excitedly and stood respectfully outside the cabin door, his eyes full of admiration.

In his view, Li Guoqiang, as the head of a trillion-dollar conglomerate, was able to give up his wealth and fame and risk his life to go to the moon, all for the sake of bringing unlimited future to mankind.

This is undoubtedly great, and worthy of the respect of all mankind.

Soon, Li Guoqiang slowly walked down from the cabin door.

When Zhou Jingyi saw Li Guoqiang's still handsome face, he hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Li Guoqiang, and then said with a choked voice:

"Chief Engineer Li, welcome home."

"Jingyi! I just came back to visit, you don't need to be so formal." Li Guoqiang smiled and said.

As he spoke, he continued walking down the gangway, then turned around to look at the spaceship and the moon obscured by sunlight, a complex expression appearing on his face.

After all, a full 38 years have passed since he first set foot on the moon.

If he remembers correctly, it is now 2022, on the same timeline as when he traveled here in his previous life.

However, apart from the same time, everything else has changed.

Today, our motherland not only has the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, but also nuclear-powered spacecraft, as well as countless other advanced equipment.

To put it bluntly, even if our motherland coughs lightly now, the whole world has to fall silent.

In addition, with a broad mind and a cooperative attitude, our motherland has made many brothers and friends all over the world, working together to strive and fight for the best future for mankind, and ultimately building a community with a shared future for mankind.

Therefore, many international organizations have relocated their headquarters to China, making this the center of the world.

Soon, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Guoqiang followed Zhou Jingyi out of the spacecraft parking area and into a huge aerospace base hall.

What followed was a thunderous burst of enthusiastic applause.

Looking around, Li Guoqiang could see some familiar faces among the crowd standing in the hall.

These people were basically all the ones who followed him from the very beginning and built the space base from scratch.

However, they are all old now; the youngest is over 60 years old.

This stark contrast gave him a sudden feeling of things having changed and the world having turned upside down.

"Chief Engineer Li, welcome home!" Everyone looked at Li Guoqiang, who still looked as dashing as ever and stood tall, their eyes filled with excitement and admiration.

Especially those newcomers in their early twenties who had just joined this world's most prestigious aerospace base looked at Li Guoqiang as if he were a god.

no way!
The miracles Li Guoqiang created and the contributions he made were simply too great!

Under his leadership, remarkable achievements have been made not only in high-tech fields such as aerospace, military industry, communications, materials, and artificial intelligence, but also in the most basic fields such as agriculture, chemical industry, food, and medicine, where a series of achievements worthy of being recorded in history have been made.

Therefore, he is regarded by the world as the greatest scientist of the new century, and even the greatest scientist in human history.

Many countries and organizations dream of awarding him an prize.

However, he never bothered to pay attention to it.

To avoid affecting his health, Zhou Jingyi stopped those who wanted to come over to reminisce or get to know their idol.

He had no interest in enjoying the flattery of those people, and before long, accompanied by Zhou Jingyi, he met the big leader who had come specially to visit him.

Immediately after handing over some work, he took a private jet and flew directly to Hong Kong, returning to his family's seaside villa estate.

This estate is now known as the world's number one estate.

Even with the special security team led by Li Chongjiu guarding the manor, countless people still come to pay their respects every day.

That day, as usual, Li Chongjiu was training some new recruits on security subjects when he suddenly heard the voice of the eldest son, Li Jiayuan, through his earpiece.

"Uncle Jiu, my dad is back. He'll be at the airport in about half an hour. Please arrange a car to pick him up."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Li Chongjiu's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and he shouted loudly.

He then pulled out the walkie-talkie from his waist and arranged the airport pickup within a minute.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly ran to the SUV next to him, started the engine, shifted gears, and accelerated, driving the car like an arrow towards the gate of the manor.

When he arrived at the entrance, two fully armed security teams drove out of the underground security base and followed his SUV, leaving the seaside villa estate and speeding towards the airport.

At the same time, a series of orders were secretly issued to the entire Hong Kong branch of the Special Security Service. Unbeknownst to them, a tight net was laid between the manor and the airport, ensuring that no fly with malicious intentions could get in.

Soon, Li Chongjiu led his motorcade onto the airport runway, silently waiting for the arrival of Li Guoqiang's private plane.

He remembered that the last time Li Guoqiang came back was two years ago, when the eldest grandson of the Li family was a month old.

Before he knew it, nearly fifty years had passed since he went from being an orphan to becoming Li Guoqiang's head bodyguard.

Over those fifty years, he killed countless people and enjoyed immense wealth and luxury.

Now, like Li Guoqiang, he is a grandfather.

All of this was given to him by Li Guoqiang, and he will never forget it in his lifetime.

Even after his death, his lifelong wish was to continue serving as Li Guoqiang's bodyguard.

However, when he saw Li Guoqiang still looking like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties as he stepped off the private jet, he knew in his heart that this wish probably could not be fulfilled.

It is precisely because of this that Qiangsheng Group has been able to develop so well, so steadily, and so rapidly over the years, without having to worry about any power struggles or conflicts.

Even the eldest grandson of the Li family, Li Jiayuan, had once told him that he might pass away before Li Guoqiang and wouldn't be able to fulfill his filial duties at Li Guoqiang's funeral. Of course, Li Chongjiu dared not respond to this topic at all.

Although he knew that Li Jiayuan was joking to express his regret that he was not as capable as his father, Li Guoqiang.

However, he always remembered that he was the most loyal knife in Li Guoqiang's hand.

Without realizing it, his vision became somewhat blurry.

"Ah Jiu, what's wrong with you? You're so old, and you're still crying like a baby. Aren't you ashamed?" Li Guoqiang walked up to Li Chongjiu and, seeing his red eyes and tearful expression, scolded him in a somewhat annoyed manner.

"Boss!" Upon hearing this, Li Chongjiu suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly wiped away his tears.

"Hmm, didn't I tell you to retire and enjoy your old age? Why are you leading the team to pick me up again this time?" Li Guoqiang nodded slightly in agreement, then asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Well, I just can't sit still!" Upon hearing this, Li Chongjiu immediately scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, like a child.

"Alright, I know you're worried, but time waits for no one! The world will ultimately belong to the young. When it's time to let go, you have to learn to let go." Li Guoqiang's expression softened, and then he spoke with a somewhat earnest tone, giving him a lecture.

"Yes, yes, boss is right. I promise I won't bother with so many things anymore. I'll leave everything to Mengyun." Li Chongjiu could only obediently nod and agree when Li Guoqiang had put it that way.

As for Mengyun, whom he mentioned, her full name is Li Mengyun. She is an orphan adopted by the Li family and also his most outstanding apprentice.

His son and daughter did not take over his position, nor did they join the special security team; they simply worked for the Qiangsheng Group.

This was not only his idea, but also Li Guoqiang's idea.

His purpose was twofold: firstly, to prevent the special security team from falling under his control; and secondly, because he wanted his children to live ordinary lives without having to engage in violence.

"Let's go home!" Li Guoqiang reached out and patted Li Chongjiu's shoulder. Looking at the other's face, which was already covered with many wrinkles, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

For the first 38 years, his mind was almost entirely on the moon, and he rarely paid attention to the changes in his family.

Before he knew it, all the people who had been by his side had grown old.

Even the youngest among them, Zhu Caixia and Jiang Qiaofeng, are now over sixty years old.

It's time for him to spend more time with them and enjoy a few years of leisure.

Soon, under Li Chongjiu's arrangement, the convoy quickly left the airport and headed directly back to the seaside villa estate.

On the way, Li Guoqiang did not speak to Li Chongjiu, but simply looked at the scenery outside the car window.

Compared to when he first went to the space base, Hong Kong has changed so much.

Skyscrapers and luxury cars can be seen everywhere.

You can even see people carrying robots, robot dogs, robot cats, etc., who can summon light screen displays with a wave of their hand on the street.

And all of this bears his mark.

It has to be said that the cheat that allows you to reap ten times the reward for one's efforts is truly too powerful.

Normally, technologies that would take decades to develop are now being widely adopted, making life more convenient and better.

However, compared to the lunar palace that has already been partially realized, these scenes are just minor details.

If someone were to go to the moon and into the lunar palace he oversaw the construction of, they would discover that it is a true science fiction city that only exists in imagination.

All of this technology is backed up in his personal space. He even created a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence in his personal space as one of the foundations of the Li family.

如果
If one day, he really dies.

With the various legacies he left behind, the Li family can at least be guaranteed to continue for several hundred years until the interstellar era truly begins.

Perhaps, at that time, he might consider whether, in the last moments of his life, he should build an interstellar spaceship capable of long-distance voyages and exile himself into the vast universe.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on his lips. He then turned to look at Li Chongjiu, who was sitting very dignifiedly to the side, and asked softly, "Ajiu, I remember your youngest daughter is only in her early twenties, right? Is she already married?"

"Boss, Yuzhu isn't married yet. If you'd like her, I'll have her come back to serve you later!" Upon hearing this, Li Chongjiu immediately seized the opportunity to recommend her to Li Guoqiang.

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang's forehead darkened, and he slapped Li Chongjiu on the head, scolding him in an annoyed tone, "What kind of talk is that? I'm already over 70, and you're still thinking of giving me your little daughter? What are you thinking?"

“Boss, if Yuzhu can serve you, that’s her good fortune!” Li Chongjiu replied earnestly.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. You can tell your boss yourself!" Li Guoqiang rolled his eyes and said with some disdain.

Upon hearing this, Li Chongjiu broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he didn't intend to be Li Guoqiang's father-in-law, there's no way to explain this kind of thing!
If Luo Huijuan found out that he wanted to give his daughter to Li Guoqiang, wouldn't she kill him?
Just as he was thinking of ways to salvage the situation, the convoy slowly drove into the seaside villa estate and stopped at the entrance of the main house.

Left with no other choice, he could only get out of the car first and open the door for Li Guoqiang.

After Li Guoqiang got out of the car, his eyes were immediately drawn to a group of people standing at the door.

Standing at the very front were none other than his nine sons and five daughters.

In addition, there are their wives, husbands, sons, daughters, and grandsons.

Looking at the chubby, plump grandson of the Li family in Li Jiayuan's arms, Li Guoqiang frowned slightly, then strode forward and took the child.

Upon seeing this, Li Jiayuan and the others didn't even bother to call out to Li Guoqiang. They hurriedly asked, "Dad, what happened to Xiaochen?"

"It's nothing, it's just that you've fed him too much and he's gotten too fat. You'll have to control his diet properly from now on." Li Guoqiang gently released Li Xingchen's small hand, then glared at Li Jiayuan and said somewhat angrily.

Hearing this, Li Jiayuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to say something when Li Guoqiang glared at him, so he could only reluctantly step aside and watch Li Guoqiang carry his grandson into the house.
