If neither of us drinks alcohol, lunch will be over in about half an hour.

Ji An had the plates removed and tea served again.

"It's more comfortable for us to talk here. Once I'm in the army, I won't have time to spend with you all."

It's as if ending things too hastily would diminish the sincerity of our hospitality.

But people who aren't very familiar with each other still just chat casually when they sit together.

After sitting for about half an hour, the group finally got up and boarded the car.

Just like when they arrived, Li Tian stayed by Ji An's side.

Ji An took out an envelope and put it directly into Li Tian's handbag.

"My second uncle doesn't have time to go shopping, and he doesn't know what you young girls like. Just buy whatever you think is good. Young girls should be pretty."

Li Tian reached out and patted her handbag.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with my second uncle, thank you!"

"I prepared gifts for you all while I was shopping yesterday. Should I give them to you in a bit, or should I leave them with Grandma?"

Looking at his well-behaved niece, Ji An suddenly regretted not having another daughter when the policies weren't so strict a few years ago.

The thought of my unfortunate son gives me a headache.

But with such strict policies now, he can't go against the grain.

"Leave it with your grandma. Your grandpa has sent a car to pick you up from the airport. I don't have any vacation time to go home for now."

Li Tian nodded in agreement.

Remembering that Li Tian was already in junior high school, Ji An felt proud of his niece on one hand, and worried about his own son on the other.

Let alone skipping a grade, his grades weren't even among the top.

Forget it, I can't think about it too much, and I can't complain.

My wife has to work and take care of the children; she's already working very hard.

I just hope that the brat will come to his senses soon and be willing to improve himself; that would be better than beating and scolding him.

"Did you feel a lot of pressure because you skipped grades?"

Li Tian smiled and shook her head.

"Fortunately, I'll be participating in the National Mathematics Competition this spring, and I hope I can get a good ranking."

Ji Anzhen didn't know what to say.

He gave Li Tian a thumbs-up.

"Do your best, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Li Tian nodded.

Her grades were no worse than Li Muchen's, but she was clearly inferior in solving competition problems.

Differences in IQ cannot be compensated for by differences in comprehension.

Fortunately, she doesn't get stuck on things.

"Uncle, participation is the most important thing. I won't make things difficult for myself."

Li Tian assumed the roads to the military camp were all city roads, but as they chatted, the car started to bump around.

Fearing motion sickness, Li Tian didn't eat her fill, only about six or seven tenths full.

As the car jolted along, Li Tian was too busy to speak.

I was afraid that I might accidentally spray it on my uncle.

Ji An, who was standing nearby, noticed something was amiss.

"Tian Tian, ​​where do you feel unwell?"

Li Tian gripped the handrail tightly to reduce the amplitude of her body swaying with the car.

"The car was shaking so much, I got carsick..."

Ji An told the driver to drive slower and more steadily.

Seeing that Li Tian's expression was really bad, Ji An stopped talking. Although he kept his eyes closed, he kept an eye on Li Tian's movements.

Fortunately, the bumpy ride was short.

Once we entered the airport area, the road conditions improved significantly.

This was Li Tian's first time entering a military airport.

But I don't have the energy to look at it much right now, even though I'm very curious.

After helping Li Tian out of the carriage, Ji An handed her over to Liu Wei.

There's still a lot of work to be done before takeoff, so he can't stay here with them.

"Tian Tian, ​​you should rest for a while. Someone will help you board the plane later."

Li Tian nodded.

Fortunately, the person is still holding on.

Ji An said goodbye to everyone and then left.

The driver took them to the rest area.

After finding a seat, Li Tian closed her eyes to rest.

I wonder if I'll get airsick?

I've flown on commercial airliners before, so it's been fine. I just don't know how stable military planes are.

Li Tian is making the most of her time to recover.

An hour later, the same driver returned.

It's time to take them onto the plane.

Those who can lead them are certainly not fighter jets.

Transport planes are used to transport troops or supplies.

The cabin was spacious, but it was already filled with cargo before they boarded.

Military supplies, but I don't know exactly what they are.

No one asked any further questions.

There are simple seats on both sides of the cabin, and the comfort level certainly cannot be compared with that of commercial airliners.

"Please find your seats and fasten your seatbelts. There may be turbulence during the flight, so please do not unfasten them before the plane lands."

Everyone responded and sat down close together.

I also fastened my seatbelt.

This is a matter of life and death, and no one dares to be careless.

The driver checked everything again, said goodbye, and got off the plane.

Soon someone else came up to check, this time even more carefully.

After that person got off, the plane door closed automatically.

As everyone knows, Ji An should already be in place.

The plane is about to take off.

Shen Yi was very excited.

When he is nervous or excited, he likes to talk to ease his emotions.

Have you ever flown on an airplane? This is my first time.

Li Muchen had never sat in it before, but he was very calm and composed.

Li Tian raised her hand to indicate that she had sat there.

Li Muchen knew that Li Tian was not feeling well at the moment.

Although I haven't experienced it myself, I still felt heartbroken looking at Li Tian's pale face.

"Shen Yi, could you develop a medicine to prevent motion sickness?"

Shen Yi scratched his head.

In the past, there were few cars, and people had never heard of motion sickness, let alone readily available medications.

He's not at his current level to develop drugs that people can eat.

But he really couldn't bear to see Li Tian suffer.

"I'm willing to do it, but I don't know when it will be developed."

Li Tian thought about it and felt that the review process for topical medications should be simpler than that for oral medications.

Moreover, she didn't want to be a guinea pig for drug trials.

The side effects of topical application should be less.

"You can consider topical medication first."

Shen Yi nodded.

Whether it works or not, we have to try.

Mr. Shen did not intervene.

Having motivation is a good thing; only by daring to try can you have a chance to succeed.

He will protect you.

The plane took off smoothly amidst Shen Yi's screams.

Li Tian was also quite lucky; the plane did not encounter any strong convective clouds, and the entire journey was relatively smooth.

Two hours later, the plane landed smoothly at a military airfield.

When Ji An emerged from the cockpit, he was holding a helmet and fully armed.

Li Tian and the others had already exited the cabin and were waiting for him outside the plane.

"Second Uncle, you drove so well!"

Ji An patted his niece's head, his face as pale as a ghost, but he still didn't forget to praise her.

It's truly heartbreaking.

"When you get back, have your dad take you to the air force base for some serious training. They have equipment there specifically designed to train pilots against motion sickness."

"After proper training, dealing with motion sickness will be a piece of cake, but the process will be very tiring."

Li Tian nodded.

"A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. I will go back to training."

Ji An looked into the distance.

"The car your grandfather sent should have arrived by now. I'll take you there."

The group, carrying their luggage, followed Ji An to the parking lot.

Both sides knew each other, and after a brief handover, Li Tian and the others got into the jeep.

By the time they arrived at the Ji family's house, it was already dark.

Li Tian was carried into the house by Liu Wei. Before Nie Qian could ask, Li Muchen explained that he was carsick.

It was something Li Tian had instructed him to do long ago.

I'm afraid her maternal grandparents will get anxious and upset.
