After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 87, Episode 0089: Xiao Zhaoyang's Experience
Xu Zhichuan: "Can I rent it?"

They had actually been eyeing that house for a long time, but because everyone was so secretive about it, they didn't even dare to ask the brigade leader about renting it.

Everyone thought it was some kind of forbidden place and didn't dare to go there casually, worried about breaking some taboo in the village.

Lin Yuexi: "We can ask the team leader. It would be best to do it as soon as possible. If possible, everyone can hurry up and clean up so we can move in tonight."

She could 'see' over there with her spiritual power; the house was fine except for being a bit small.

Although no one had lived there for several years, she saw that the brigade leader would often go to check on things, and Aunt Guihua and the others would occasionally do some cleaning.

In other words, the house has always been maintained, the windows and glass are in good condition, the house doesn't look dilapidated, and it's basically move-in ready.

Xu Zhichuan and Zhang Ze were both delighted to hear this. With Xi Bao speaking up, the matter was basically settled. The two immediately dropped the rag and ran outside.

Leng Xingran hurriedly put on her military overcoat and grabbed their summer brocade robes as she chased after them.

"Why are you all running? Why are you all running? You're not even wearing fine clothes."

Leng Xingran returned in the afternoon, covered in a layer of white.

Lin Yuexi's house has a window that offers a slanted view of the front door. Xiao Zhaoyang, who was lying there watching the snow, saw him return and immediately started to wiggle his little bottom out of the kang (a heated brick bed) to get off.

"Auntie, Uncle is back."

Lin Yuexi looked away from the book, glanced out the window, and then turned back to look at the little guy who was already half a three-headed figure and had moved off the kang (a heated brick bed).

She didn't help her up, but just quietly watched and reminded her, "Don't open the door too wide, the cold wind will freeze your little face."

"Okay, little auntie."

The little one put on his little cotton shoes, ran excitedly to the door, and obediently opened the door a crack as instructed by his aunt, then peeked out with his little head.

"Little uncle."

Leng Xingran had just walked to the door of the main room and was sweeping the snow off herself with a small broom.

Winters here are not only snowy and windy, but the doors to the main room are usually kept closed.

Leng Xingran responded to the little guy through the door, "Go back inside quickly, your uncle will come in as soon as he takes a picture of the snow."

"Okay."

The little guy obediently pulled his head back, closed the door, ran back to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), took off his shoes, and slowly moved back onto the kang, then tucked his little feet into his sleeves.

Lin Yuexi watched with a faint smile throughout. Her ancestor hadn't lied to her; children at this age were the most adorable.

Too noisy as a child, too stubborn as a teenager, too obstinate as an adult; only between the ages of three and ten can be molded at will.

Thinking this way, she did just that, already pinching her chubby little face.

"Are you so happy that your uncle is back?"

Xiao Zhaoyang nodded emphatically, "It's cold outside."

He remembered going out once last winter, but he couldn't remember why he went out. He only remembered that the wind hurt his face and hands terribly.

He misses his dad. Is his dad still as cold as before?
My hands are freezing, and my feet are freezing too?

The little one suddenly teared up, startling Lin Yuexi, who quickly pulled him into her arms.

Fortunately, since she hasn't been working lately, Old Chen has been able to come frequently. She has also taken the opportunity to receive more treatment in her space. Now, she can barely hold a child weighing about 20 pounds, but at least she can carry him without any problems.

"Why are you crying? Do you miss your dad?"

Aside from this question, she couldn't think of any other reason why such a well-behaved child would cry. "Auntie, is Daddy cold? Daddy's hands are all black and cracked, they hurt a lot."

Lin Yuexi didn't know how to answer him for a moment, so she could only hug him tightly.

A few days after receiving Xiao Zhaoyang, Secretary He finally got in touch with Jiuquan and learned about Xiao Zhaoyang's experiences there.

The child's mother died shortly after his birth. Logically, he should have been sent to his father's side at that time. However, Leng Xingshu's job was also confidential, and the project he was in charge of was at a critical moment.

So, after considering it, the leaders there also concealed from him the fact that his wife had already sacrificed her life.

Xiao Zhaoyang was handed over to the care of an academician's family member.

Aunt Zhang used to be a primary school principal. She was a very kind person and treated Xiao Zhaoyang very well.

But when Xiao Zhaoyang was two years old, Aunt Zhang was diagnosed with stomach cancer and had to be hospitalized for surgery. The leaders searched around but couldn't find a suitable person to take care of him, so they risked sending Xiao Zhaoyang back to the Leng family.

Why use the word 'adventure'?

There are too many people around Jiuquan (those two words are easily banned, you all understand what I mean). Few people who enter Jiuquan leave, and those who do leave are the people that the 500,000 people are focusing on and are very likely to harm.

Xiao Zhaoyang, who is only two years old, is too obvious a target. He is definitely the child of the researcher in Jiuquan.

They're either at the bottom or at the bottom, the kids of junior researchers; they're lucky enough to be middle-level researchers; and if they're incredibly lucky... one deal could feed them for generations.

Therefore, sending the little guy back to Beijing at that time was a huge risk.

Lin Yuexi and Zhang Hongying had no idea that behind the two escorts that Xiao Zhaoyang appeared to be that day was an entire company.

In these extraordinary times, apart from those who are under special protection, many scientists and researchers are already living on thin ice. After Leng Xingshu's incident, it's not that no one wanted to protect him, but that no one could keep him safe.

It was only because many people spoke up for him that Leng Xingshu wasn't immediately sentenced to death [if the committee really didn't listen to reason, they could have directly convicted him based on that letter]. Instead, he was sent to a farm.

Most importantly, it seems that Leng Xingshu has something that can threaten those 50 people, which is why the current situation has arisen.

For various reasons, they couldn't take his life, so while physically oppressing him, they also made him watch his only son suffer with him, tormenting his mind at the same time.

Given these premises, how could the father and son's life on the farm possibly be associated with the word "good"?
It's just about staying alive.

"Don't worry, Yangyang, Daddy won't suffer anymore. Do you remember Grandpa He who carried you out that day?"

Xiao Zhaoyang looked up at her with tears in his eyes, and gently nodded with an "Mmm".

He's a bad kid, he lied. He doesn't actually remember that his dad gave him a pill that day, and then he fell asleep.

Lin Yuexi: "..."

It was her fault; she forgot that the little guy had been tricked by his father.

Look how scared the child is.

She quickly grabbed a clean towel and wiped away the little guy's tears and snot, also wiping away his anxious expression.

“It was your aunt’s fault. Your aunt forgot that you fell asleep that day. It’s okay. Let me tell you, Grandpa He went to pick you up that day, but his car broke down. Uncle Huo happened to be driving by and helped take you to your uncle and aunt’s place.”

"Grandpa He has a nephew who works at the Sunshine Farm where you and Dad work. He will help take care of your dad in the future."

Lin Yuexi did not simply coax the child because he was young. Never underestimate any child, especially one who has had an experience like Xiao Zhaoyang.

He is not only intelligent, but also sensitive and insecure. Trying to appease him will only harm him.

You need to treat him with equal respect and rebuild his self-confidence.
