Aviation Mail Extra Gathering

  "Really, you guys saw students streaking? What a pity, Stanford doesn't have such a tradition, I didn't have the honor!" Gu Qing complained somewhat gloomily over the phone.

  "Hehe, come to Harvard next year!" Of course, good experiences should be shared with everyone. The next day when he went online, Kai Fei posted what he had seen and heard, causing a large response in the blog. Gu Qing even called to complain.

  "Next year I'll definitely come over, after all foreign countries are different, the ways of venting are not the same. In the past when I was in China watching reports, domestic university students would throw their mosquito nets and water bottles out the window to vent, at the time I thought it was quite strange. Now compared to foreign students, it's really just child's play! Gu Qing sighed, probably only in America can you find such a unique way of venting."

  "Yes, domestically we just throw water bottles and burn quilts, but MIT students actually threw pianos! Kafi recalled his own former classmates' midnight howls and felt an unusual nostalgia. The pressure on students is really huge, every year the number of domestic college students who commit suicide is not small!"

  "I heard that MIT's undergraduate program is recognized as the most difficult in the US, and the number of undergrads who commit suicide due to excessive academic pressure is actually the highest among all American universities! Is that true? You guys are so close to Massachusetts, do you have any insider information?"

  "Yes, just a few days ago, there was a student who jumped off the building. I know of several students who have dropped out due to excessive stress."

  "Doesn't the school want to find a solution to this problem?" So many students having problems isn't a solution either!

  "How could there be no way? MIT specially sets the third week of each summer semester as a student holiday, without classes, in order to comfort us poor students. Moreover, to prevent students from jumping out of buildings to commit suicide, the windows on the upper floors of MIT's undergraduate dormitories are all very small, and it is impossible for people to stick their heads out."

  "Treating only the symptoms and not the root cause! Can't we take some more proactive measures to alleviate the burden on undergraduate students?" Gu Qing complained over the phone.

  "I also expressed my own thoughts, and as a result, MIT students said I was too naive. They thought it was normal for students to commit suicide due to the heavy academic pressure at MIT, and that nobody committing suicide would be abnormal. Otherwise, MIT wouldn't be MIT."

  "OMG! Are we being naive or are they? That's someone's life at stake!"

  "What a wonderful display of American social standards!"

  "My goodness, although I still can't accept it, looking at it this way makes me feel a bit more balanced. The pressure on students is too great, and this isn't just a problem in China, haha, student stress relief is a headache for universities all over the world."

  "Really, right, how are you going to spend your New Year?"

  "Go to your relatives' house, where is your happiness? All the close ones have come."

  "Where are your parents?"

  "My parents will visit and send greetings to impoverished workers and low-income residents during the Spring Festival."

  "Oh." Ke Fei nodded in understanding, after all, they were all important national cadres.

  "Why don't you spend Christmas at your aunt's and then come to Cambridge, my brother, Lance, and I are planning to have a good time with our families, or we can wait for you to join us?"

  "Alright, I'll probably come over around the 27th, you guys have to wait for me, no running ahead!" Gu Qing exclaimed excitedly.

  "It's okay, no problem."

  December 20th, just four days before Christmas Eve, an important holiday in the West. Various university clubs hold grand gatherings on this day to celebrate Christmas in advance and also to celebrate passing the year-end exams safely.

  Kai Yun, Lan Qi and Kai Fei all wanted to attend the school club's evening party. After some thought, they decided to bring their family members along to watch the performances since Kai Fei had a program. His mother and uncle and aunt followed him to Daniel's club to watch the show. Although they didn't understand the language, they could still enjoy the music and dance.

  Kafi participated in a program that was an opera, she played the role of a supporting actress, a singer, who appeared only twice, with only one line, but had many opportunities to sing. Both times she appeared were while singing, requiring a relatively deep singing skill. Especially in one segment, the male lead walked into a bar in the rain and unexpectedly met a singer who looked like his lover. He coincidentally heard the singer performing a song he used to love the most, and in the midst of emotional excitement, impulsively expressed his affection to the singer. The singer politely declined his affection with a beautiful song, indicating that she was a gypsy-like person who pursued freedom and sunshine, and could not provide him with a stable and happy life. At the same time, she encouraged him to pay attention to the people around him, those who cared about and adored him.

  In the song, the male lead suddenly realized that he had already fallen in love with the female lead and happily left the bar!

  Kafi's part is just that one segment of singing and conversation in the bar, as well as a blessing after the male and female leads get married and meet unexpectedly.

  The play was just right, fully showcasing Kafi's singing skills. As soon as Kafi finished performing, she translated for her family members beside her, exhausted from the whole night, Kafi's strongest feeling was "I need to improve my family's English!"

  After the party, the school naturally went on holiday. However, for Chinese people who celebrate Chinese New Year, there is no concept of Christmas, so it's a good opportunity to visit Harvard and Yale. For family members, being able to play in world-renowned universities is also a rare honor.

  Kofi Annan and Koffi accompanied their families to stroll around Harvard, with hundreds of years of history, countless glorious and brilliant stories.

  "Harvard is the oldest university in America. Founded in 1636, it has a history of 362 years. It was established 140 years before the United States declared independence in 1776. The greatest pride of Harvard people is that they have participated in shaping American history and are leading its future. This is not an exaggeration, as countless politicians, economists, writers, and others have graduated from Harvard."

  "That looks like a Chinese building." Lancy's father pointed to the large stone monument with carvings of turtles and dragons next to a big building, somewhat puzzled.

  "This building is Harvard's library, and that stone tablet is indeed modeled after the ancient Beijing Palace Museum, because it was built with donations from Chinese students in their early years. This is the only Oriental-style building!"

  "Really? It seems like Chinese people and Harvard have a pretty deep relationship!"

  "Ah, this library also has a rich history. The donor, Widener, was the mother of a wealthy young man who loved to read books. Unfortunately, he died in the Titanic disaster, and his mother donated money to build the library in memory of her son. By the way, speaking of the Titanic..."

  "Want to go take a look?" Talking about the Titanic, Kai Fei suddenly remembered the premiere tickets sent by Mr. Cameron that he had long forgotten.

  "Is it a movie? Not too much interest." Lin Tianxiu's current interests are more in Harvard University!

  "Oh, let's keep going!" The Titanic hadn't started showing yet, so everyone shouldn't know much about this movie that was about to shake the world! Kafi smiled and followed up to continue being a tour guide.

  "Is this Harvard? Looks quite handsome!" Lin Tianxiu stood in front of the bronze statue of Harvard, looking at the few lines engraved on the base:

  John Harvard

  Founder

  In 1638.

  "Hehe, mom, you know, this is actually one of Harvard's famous 'three big lies'!"

  "What three big lies?" Lan Yun Da raised an eyebrow and looked at the smiling girl.

  Actually, these three sentences are all inaccurate.

  One, John Harvard was not the founder, he was just an important donor;

  Secondly, the school was not founded in 1638 but two years earlier, in 1636.

  Thirdly, when the statue was built in the early 20th century, because no photos of Harvard could be found, a handsome young graduate had to be temporarily chosen as a model, so the statue is not actually of Harvard himself. This is what people often refer to as "Harvard's three big lies".

  "Haha, so that's how it is!" Although it's strange that the later generations didn't modify the few lines of carved characters, but for a prestigious school like this to make such a rare mistake, everyone can't help but smile wryly. It turns out that sometimes having a sneaky pleasure feels pretty good!

  But still, Harvard is Harvard.

  Harvard is no longer a dream, and our children have grown up and entered the sacred place that we could only see in our dreams.

  That alone is enough for parents to be proud of!

  Just after New Year's Day in 1998, diligent Chinese students were still continuing their studies.

  Deyang City No. 27's mailroom suddenly received an international airmail letter. Looking at the English all over the airmail letter, Old Liu in the mailroom was quite frustrated and grabbed the school's English teacher to ask, "Teacher Zheng, come take a look, what does this letter say?"

  Mr. Zheng curiously took over the envelope and looked at it, which was an airmail letter. He then looked at the sender's address and felt dizzy - it was Harvard University in the United States!

  Does Harvard University send letters to its own students?

  The recipient's address is Zhou Yunjing from Class 4 of Grade 3.

  "This is an international airmail letter, sent from Harvard University in the United States, to a classmate of ours at school."

  "What? Harvard in America?" Old Liu in the mailroom wasn't very educated, but he still knew some things, especially about himself.

  There's also a high school student who knows that Harvard University is one of the world's most famous universities, and last year two students even went to Harvard to study. Could it be that someone from their own school is going to Harvard too? But how can they possibly connect the students from their own school with Harvard?

  "Ah, Harvard University." Teacher Zheng walked to his office with the letter in hand. He was also filled with curiosity - what did Zhou Yunjing have to do with Harvard University?

  Was Zhou Yunjing also admitted to Harvard University?

  Mr. Zheng couldn't stop his dizziness and quickly walked towards his office.

  Zhou Yunjing's grades were excellent, always ranking first or second in her third year of high school, especially in English. It wasn't a fantasy that she received an admission letter from Harvard!

  The more I think about it, the more likely it seems that our school will also produce a 'Lin Kaifei'. Then how should I face media interviews in the future? Teacher Zheng's thoughts have already flown to 98,000 miles away.

  Carrying the airmail letter back to the English teaching and research group, it unexpectedly attracted everyone's attention. All the English teachers were guessing what this letter was saying in a flurry of discussion.

  "Why guess? Just ask Zhou Yunjing directly. Wang Tao, go and call over your classmate Zhou Yunjing. Tell her there's a letter here from Harvard University in the US addressed to her."

  "Harvard?" Wang Tao looked at his English teacher in surprise, wondering if he had misheard. "What's going on?"

  "I don't know, ask Zhou Yunjing and she'll tell you, go call her over!"

  "Good!" Man's curiosity is boundless, Wang Tao rushed towards Class 4 of High School Year 2.

  "Zhou Yunjing, there is a letter from Harvard University for you at Teacher Zheng's place."

  "What?" As soon as this was said, the entire classroom fell into an unusual silence, staring at Wang Tao in astonishment.

  "What are you looking at? Go to the office quickly! The letter is with Teacher Zheng, and it's all in English!"

  "Oh!" The slender Zhou Yunjing stood up and quickly left amidst the strange gazes of the crowd, and as soon as she was gone, the entire classroom immediately erupted into a huge debate.

  "What is this?" Zhou Yunjing was surprised as she took the letter handed to her by Teacher Zheng, with her name and Harvard University's address written on the envelope.

  Under the curious gaze of all the teachers, Zhou Yunjing opened the envelope and took out the letter inside. Two photos floated out with it.

  Picking it up and taking a look, there was a photo of four kids: 7-year-old me, 6-year-old He Yan, 5-year-old Zhou Lin, and one-year-old younger brother Zhou Lingyu.

  What a distant memory!

  Another photo is a familiar girl standing next to a giant Mickey at Disneyland and laughing very happily.

  What's coffee?

  At a glance, he read through the entire letter, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  "What does it say in the letter? It can't be a Harvard acceptance letter, can it?"

  "No, it's a letter sent by my sister."

  "Your sister?"

  "Do you have a sister at Harvard?"

  "Is your sister in college?" Aren't you a high school senior?

  The teachers around me had different expressions, but in fact, they were more curious about who this sender was.

  Zhou Yunjing simply smiled and put away his letter, deliberately ignoring the curious glances of the teachers, bowed to several teachers and left.

  There used to be a desire to show off, but looking at the mileage my sister has traveled, I feel that my actions are really too childish. Ka Fei wrote very clearly in her letter to me, she is very familiar with the situation at home, knows her parents' attitude towards me, and tells me not to worry, if I get into a key university, tuition and living expenses will all be paid by her.

  It seems I don't have to worry about other things anymore! Now the key is myself, with half a year left, which school should I take the exam for?

  The family had always been patriarchal, and after my birth and that of my second sister He Yan, our grandmother would often say that the household was a "kingdom of daughters", all of whom were financial burdens. Later, when my uncle's wife gave birth to another girl, grandma's expression became even more unpleasant - I don't know if this laid the groundwork for my uncle and aunt's later divorce.

  Grandma always wanted a boy, Dad and Mom stayed in Xinjiang for two years, after paying the extra birth fee, my brother was finally born, and I became even more dispensable.

  Everything at home is given to younger brother, the best things are always for younger brother.

  When his younger brother was half a year old, the family returned to Sichuan again. At that time, he only noticed his four-year-old sister Zhou Lin.

  The whole family lives in the town, little Zhou Lin is very lovely, chubby, with a shallow dimple when smiling, always following her own elder sister, calling out to her sister.

  When Zhou Lin was a child, she was closest to her brother Lin Kaiyun. She also had a three-year-old sister named Liu Yue, but Zhou Lin was lovable and not afraid of strangers, always greeting everyone with a smile.

  When Zhou Lin was 5 years old, her second uncle and aunt divorced. Her second uncle moved to another town first, and later her second aunt moved to the county seat. Zhou Lin also left with them. The little girl didn't cry or make a fuss, and everyone said she was very sensible and would definitely achieve great things in the future. Who could have thought that this sentence would really come true ten years later?

  After that, I rarely saw Zhou Lin again. The town and the county seat were still some distance apart, but I heard that her grades were excellent, and she skipped a grade in the second year, higher than her own age group.

  One year later, my second uncle resigned and followed his new wife to Deyang for development. Half a year later, my father also resigned and opened a clinic in the suburbs of Deyang. Later on, he brought both my elder sister and younger sister to towns around Deyang.

  News from Zhou Lin became less and less frequent. All I knew was that Second Aunt had remarried, and two years later, she moved to Chengdu with her new husband, where they opened a pharmacy.

  In a few more years, the second child of Second Uncle was born, and it was another girl. Grandma was disappointed, and Second Uncle was also very disappointed. It seemed that he thought of his first daughter again, and went everywhere to ask about her news. All he knew was that Second Aunt had opened a clinic in Chengdu, but every time he went to find someone, he didn't see Zhou Lin's person. He only knew that she was very busy and extremely excellent. Her name now is called Lin Kaifei!

  The second daughter of Second Uncle died young, and everyone's mood was terrible. On that day, strangely enough, we all saw her on CCTV's social survey program - Zhou Lin.

  Extremely outstanding, extremely dazzling!

  It wasn't until then that I realized how excellent my sister was, watching her fluent English on TV, facing the camera and talking freely, with a calm and composed demeanor. I suddenly turned to look at my uncle, do you regret it now?

  Grandma seems to regret it a bit, actually regardless of male or female, as long as they are excellent enough, the elders will still be proud of them.

  After learning about her exact situation, Second Uncle went to Chengdu and brought her back to Deyang.

  She's busy, and her contact with all the relatives here is very superficial. She had a big falling out with my younger aunt because my younger aunt said "your parents' divorce wasn't your father's fault."

  "Was it my mother's fault?"

  His attitude was very bad, and Second Uncle was also a hot-tempered person. Seeing Zhou Lin's impulsive behavior, he scolded Zhou Lin a few times. Without saying another word, Zhou Lin packed up his own bag.

  "It was you who made me come back, not that I wanted to come back myself." Then she was about to leave, leaving everyone stunned, but the new auntie mediated and comforted her with a few words, keeping her from leaving. However, on Sunday after lunch, Zhou Lin still left very abruptly.

  Suddenly I'm a little envious of her, Second Uncle is being mean to her, she can leave, what about me? Can I also leave?

  Later on, no matter how Second Uncle asked Zhou Lin to come back, she never came back again. She always had a reason, busy!

  It was still a holiday, and I took my family to Chengdu for a trip. We met Zhou Lin, who was wearing the school uniform of No. 7 Middle School, and she was conducting an interview program with her classmates at Tianfu Square. Everyone finally realized that she was really busy!

  That summer, Zhou Lin caused a sensation again. They went to support education in rural areas. All their experiences, laughter and hardships were unrelated to this family. Although we are her blood relatives, we could only know about her recent situation through TV media.

  Later on, Second Uncle started collecting all of Zhou Lin's information, and he also collected his own, wanting to see just how far this younger sister could go.

  My second uncle had another child, a girl again, named Zhou Chang. I've been wondering, if he had known this would happen, would my second uncle have divorced his wife back then?

  Now looking at people around talking about that excellent girl Lin Kaifei, does Second Uncle have any regret?

  Just before the college entrance exam, I suddenly heard classmates around me discussing Lin Kai Fei's plagiarism, feeling a wave of panic. After finding and reading related reports, some newspapers in Chengdu scolded her mercilessly, my second uncle was anxious, we were also anxious, but my younger brother unknowingly said something that made my second uncle furious.

  "What's the big deal? Although she is my sister, I don't have any impression of her at all. Maybe she really did plagiarize someone else's work? She's only 13 years old, how could she possibly write something like that?"

  "Shut up!" Second Uncle got angry!

  Little brother is jealous, I know, because little brother has always been extremely spoiled as the only boy in the house, but it seems that Linlin's excellence has shifted everyone's attention away from little brother, and it's normal for a 9-year-old child to have such thoughts.

  Alas, some people are really beyond our envy!

  Everything that happened later can only be described as a twist of fate, and the next time she appeared in the news again, she was already working as a translator for a well-known professor.

  Then she proved the ownership of the article with her strength.

  She made 7 million by reselling patents.

  She...

  There's too much information about her, she's so dazzling!

  Proudly tell others that she is my sister, but instead of getting praise, I get ridiculed and doubted.

  A little resentful and a little unwilling!

  She seems to have a better relationship with this side, and occasionally comes back on weekends. However, she is really busy, every time it's Saturday night that she comes over, sees everyone, has dinner, rests for one night, and then takes the train back to Chengdu the next day. It was only then that I realized her schedule is extremely tight, busy with studying, busy doing many things that are completely unimaginable to herself.

  She had once asked him if he could appear in front of his classmates together with her, but was rejected.

  "Do we need to prove our sisterly relationship to others? Why do you have to get recognition from others? If others don't recognize it, does that mean I'm not your sister and you're not my brother?"

  "Other people's honor is forever other people's, only what you fight for yourself is your own."

  I still remember what she said, and soon after that I heard the news that she was admitted to seven prestigious universities in the United States, including Harvard University.

  Once again, I feel what she said about honor, is it really for proof? No, maybe more is to show off, then go get your own honor as she said!

  She made a series of study plans for herself according to the actual situation, and then studied according to the plan. Looking at the dense study schedule, she knew for the first time that being number one wasn't easy.

  Do I have to fight for it myself?

  However, no matter what, she couldn't let her own sister surpass her, so He Xian also received a corresponding study plan.

  Maybe we will have a different future!

  "Titanic" was filmed in nearly five years of careful planning and preparation, starting in July 1996. After a year of painful struggle and countless delays, it was finally completed at the end of December 1997. Perfectionist James Cameron also used extreme movie special effects to make "Titanic" the most expensive film in history, with a budget exceeding $250 million.

  Cameron had already given the premiere tickets to Kofi through his assistant, and Kofi originally wanted his family to go see it, but they were busy visiting Harvard and Yale, completely ignoring this rare opportunity. In the end, Kofi could only take the ticket with his brother and Lanchi to attend the premiere.

  As expected, the beautiful love story and the magnificent scenery shocked Lancy and Kaiyun. To Kafi, it was just like watching a movie in an American theater, but their feelings were different.

  However, Kafi was not without gain. Director Cameron was quite generous and under his consent, Kafi not only got the opportunity to take a photo with the great director but also took photos with many leading actors. What excited Kafi the most was that her idol Celine Dion specially signed an autograph for her on the back of the photo. In the end, Kafi and her two friends returned home happily with a big pile of autographs and photos.

  Perhaps it was the magnitude of the harvest, too unexpected, Lan Qi and Kai Yun didn't come back to their senses until they sat on the subway going back, "Am I dreaming? Did we really take a photo with Celine Dion?" Kai Yun is still immersed in the shock of seeing his idol Celine Dion.

  "I didn't dream, the photo is in my hands!" Rarely seeing her brother's stunned expression, Ka Fei was in a great mood, humming, let you guys buy a house without telling me at first!

  "My god, Cameron!" Recalling his intimate encounter with the great director Cameron, Lanchi felt as if everything was unreal. A small unknown Chinese boy like himself could actually meet an international director...

  "Yes, it's Cameron himself. We also have his autograph in our hands. Are you interested in taking another look?" Kafi said with a good mood, teasing the two of them.

  It has to be said that the three of them still look up to Hollywood superstars, and it's understandable to feel a little excited about being in contact with such internationally renowned figures!

  "Kai Fei, leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist. Honestly, how did you...". Kai Yun recalled the time when Kai Fei took him to meet those Hollywood superstars and ask for autographs. It all felt so surreal, even more surreal was that the famous director smiled at Kai Fei in a friendly manner and agreed to take a photo with him. Perhaps it was because of the director's face, getting autographs and photos from all the other stars became extremely easy, it was like a dream!

  Especially when I saw my favorite European and American superstar Celine Dion, the dreamlike feeling became even more intense!

  "Hehe, didn't I say so?" Kafi smiled like a cat who had stolen cream, with a triumphant smile in her heart.

  "What did you say?" The two almost yelled, their eyes staring at her with a fierce glow. Even in the country, it was okay, but how could this girl still be so mysterious and secretive when she went abroad?

  "Oh, the theme song in the movie was composed by me!" Kafi smiled mischievously and threw a bomb, blowing Lanchi and Kaiyun thousands of miles away.

  Good heavens!

  It's not that I don't understand, it's just that this world is changing too fast!

  This is the only feeling of the two!

  "Haha, Mr. Cameron agreed to give me a share of the profits from the movie, and I sold them the copyright of the record, they will also give me a percentage based on the sales volume! Now they are preparing to pay me $200,000 first, because I said I'm short of money now, I think this money is just enough for our family to have a good time in America!"

  Kai Fei was muttering to herself about how to use the money, while Kai Yun and Lan Qi felt as if the sky had fallen and their future prospects were bleak. Their confidence as men had been completely destroyed by this stinky girl, who looked like she didn't know what was going on. They really wanted to strangle her!

  Bite your teeth and bear it, just pretend you didn't hear it!

  Kaiyun and Lanchi gazed at each other desolately, and for a moment, they felt a sense of commiseration with each other. Alas, the man beside Kaifei was too much to handle!

  Snapped back to reality, continued to glare at the petty woman who was still nitpicking!

  Relying on this windfall, the three families, plus Gu Qing, a total of 9 people, excitedly traveled from east to west, and spent several days touring New York. The Lata family naturally played host, and Lanchi's father seized the opportunity to finalize some future cooperation details with his partner Xien.

  "He's truly a businessman, even when he comes out to have fun, he doesn't forget about his business!"

  "What about you? Come out and play, and bring a research report with you?" Hearing Kafi's muttering, Lin Tianxiu smiled at her daughter.

  "Mom, this is totally different! For me, this report was just something I did in passing, the main thing is still playing!"

  "Your workload is heavy and busy?" Looking at the dozens of pages of survey reports written in the notebook, Lin Tianxiu secretly frowned.

  "Not busy! I'm only a freshman, there's no need to work so hard yet. Besides, it's winter break, the most important thing is to rest, unlike summer vacation when you need to find all sorts of part-time jobs." Ka Fei looked at her mother in confusion, didn't she come out to play with me too? How can I be busy?

  "Then you..." Her mother pointed at Kafi's notebook, the implication clear.

  "Hehe, mom, this is just a habit, it's just simple play, I may not even be used to it myself!"

  "Shouldn't going out to play be relaxing? Why bring all this stuff along? Why give yourself such a heavy burden?" Lin Tianxiu felt heartache for her daughter, as if the child had forgotten how to relax.

  "Mom, yeah, how should I put it?" Kafi furrowed her brow and thought for a moment, this seemed to be two different ways of thinking.

  "Mom, let's put it this way, when we go out and play, we'll take pictures, right?"

  "Alright."

  "Do you think taking pictures is a burden?"

  "Of course not!"

  "Why?"

  "Taking a trip and taking photos as souvenirs is a normal thing, how can it be a burden?"

  "So, mom, just think of me writing reports as something normal like taking pictures. Work is a part of life, don't simply or intentionally view it as a burden. That way, doing many things will become much easier!" Ka Fei smiled and shrugged her shoulders, she had long accepted that work was a part of life, just like eating and sleeping every day.

  Someone once asked her if she felt tired from studying so much every day. She said, "Studying every day is just like eating every day, who would think that eating is tiring?"

  Unfortunately, such an answer earned a scornful snort from the other side!

  Sigh, telling others the truth but no one believes it, is actually just a simple mindset problem! Why make it so complicated like others do?

  The domestic high school finally had a winter break, and Yue Er also took her parents' passports and flew to the United States.

  It's been half a year since they last saw each other. As soon as she got off the plane, she saw a familiar figure and burst into tears, hugging that thin figure tightly.

  "Sister, how did you lose so much weight?"

  At the bustling international airport, Lin Kaifei rolled her eyes in a most unladylike manner. Good grief, Moonchild's strength was enormous! Was this an aftereffect of practicing martial arts?!

  Watching Moonie clinging to Kafi like a koala, completely ignoring her own and the heavy coat's weight, Lance couldn't help but burst out laughing, pulling Moonie down from Kafi who was almost suffocating.

  "You little scoundrel, you want to strangle me to death the moment we meet!" Kafi finally able to breathe in fresh air, suddenly flew into a rage on the spot, stretched out her hands and pinched Xiaoyue's cheeks, giving them a vicious twist.

  "Ah! Sister, you're so cruel!" Yuèr covered her reddening cheeks, tearfully staring at her sister, waaah, bad sister, bullying me as soon as we meet!

  But I miss it so much!

  In front of Ka Fei, Yue Er suddenly became ten years younger and acted like a four-year-old child, monopolizing Ka Fei all the way and not giving others a chance to speak. Letting Lan Qi want to interject didn't have an opportunity, it was Yue Er's mother Lin Tian Li who laughed and pulled Yue Er away, allowing Lan Qi to open his mouth.

  "The time at home and abroad is not the same, the US has Christmas holidays, school starts on January 10th, no mistake, you didn't hear wrong, that means I and your sister have already started classes, Kaiyun is the same too." Lan Qi joked with Yue'er while driving.

  "Do you still have classes during the Chinese New Year?"

  "In the US, nobody cares about your Chinese New Year. Some classmates postponed their exams, and at the beginning of this semester, they had to face exams right away. I looked at some exam schedules, and one day was actually our Chinese New Year's Eve!"

  "What? So miserable!" Yue'er was shocked.

  "Alright, Lance, stop teasing her, look at her eyes going wide." Kafi chuckled and interrupted Lance's frightening words, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated, just the vacation time here has been brought forward." Reaching out to mess up his sister's hair, hehe, the feeling is really good, finally understanding why his brother often messed with his own hair.

  "Uncle Lan and Auntie Ning, as well as my mom and uncle, went to San Francisco for a trip. They should be back today. Let's head back first, and later let Mom take you guys around the US to have some fun. We can visit several famous universities and go to Disneyland or whatever, how does that sound?"

  "Of course, that's great. How about you?" Being able to spend the New Year in America is not something to be taken lightly, after all, it's not common for students of this generation to travel abroad, let alone visit a world-renowned university. However, it seems like a pity that my sister and brother can't join me to have fun together.

  "Didn't I say so? We've started school and need to go back to class!"

  "Is that so... then for Chinese New Year..."

  "Don't worry, on New Year's Eve, all Chinese students will hold a party together, and we'll all go to gather then." Ka Fei patted his little sister's head, saying with a smile.

  After Lan Qi's parents returned from San Francisco, they also separated from Kafi's family and visited their business partners, overseas relatives and friends. Lin Tianxiu took his sister and her family to continue their American journey.

  Everyone had a blast and was exhausted by the time they got back. Yuer played a very important role in this process, her fluent language skills served as the ears and mouth of this small travel group, almost all the arrangements on the road were translated by Yuer, even the tour guide hired by Kofi and others were surprised and praised this little girl's ability.

  Interacting with others in a natural and unrestrained manner, neither arrogant nor servile.

  Once again back home, the moon no longer had the shock of seeing the house for the first time, but instead hugged big and small packages of gifts and drilled into her own and sister's room, happily hanging up the gifts she had chosen for her sister.

  "How was your play?" Lanyunda will be back a few days earlier than them.

  "It's okay, just a bit of language barrier on the road. Haven't Lanchi and Kafi returned yet?" The two parents now have an unspoken understanding, they are delighted to see the development of their children!

  "Not yet? The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, how do you think we should spend it?" Lan Yun Da asked with a smile, inquiring about Lin Tian Xiu and his siblings' plans. He was very satisfied with these children, looking at their current achievements!

  "We bought a lot of things in Chinatown, decorated the place and created a New Year's atmosphere. Then we'll invite Open's Chinese classmates over and have everyone gather together. What do you think?" Lin Tianxiu suggested with a smile, having heard from Open that there were still many Chinese people at Harvard, all of whom were part of an association, so it was quite necessary for them to communicate more, especially on New Year's Eve, which held special significance for the Chinese.

  "Good!" Kafi and Lanchi came into the house just in time to hear their mother's voice.

  "You're back!" Lan Yun Da turned his head and smiled at his son, whose thoughts he was very clear about. He was quite satisfied with this little girl Ka Fei, but he didn't know if his son had the ability to catch up with her.

  "On New Year's Eve, all Chinese students are going to have a reunion dinner party. Why don't we go to the school for dinner first and then invite them over for another meal on the first day of the new year?" In front of his future mother-in-law, Lanchi was sure to behave well. During this period of interaction, Lanchi performed exceptionally well, leaving a very good impression on the Kaifi family, who thought that this young man was down-to-earth, meticulous, stable, very tolerant of Kaifi, and knew how to respect his elders... almost making it impossible to find any flaws."

  For the time being, it's enough to match up with Ka Fei at home, but still need to observe further. Kai Yun naturally understood the meaning in his elder's gaze and kept looking at Lan Qi with a schadenfreude expression.

  "Is there a party? If we go, won't there be too many people? Do you have a program? Otherwise, we'll wait for you to come back home?"

  "It's actually possible to go and take a look, let Lanchi and Kaifei discuss with their schoolmates, after all, most classmates can bring their family members, of course, it's still relatively rare for us to bring such a big family like ours... Hehe..."

  "Yes, mom, don't worry, Lanchi and I will go ask!"

  "Alright!" Lan Yun Da and Lin Tian Xiu, the two adults, exchanged a glance, indicating their agreement. It's not easy to get an opportunity to participate in a gathering with world-renowned schools! Yue Er was bouncing up and down, eager to attend! Yue Er's parents, Lin Tian Li and Liu Yuan Gui, were not very familiar with Lan Qi's parents, but they smiled and nodded in agreement, consenting to their suggestion.

  After dinner, everyone was doing their own thing. Kaiyun read the local newspaper to his family and translated it for them. Lanqi and her father, as well as Kaifei's mother, were discussing some details of a real estate company cooperation. Lanyunda and Lin Tianxiu had already found out about the plan set by Kaifei and Kaiyun. After their initial shock, Lin Tianxiu had accepted the two children's approach. She was not a saint and couldn't be completely selfless. At least with her own children handling things, they would do better than others who might try to take advantage of Wang Jiye. Jiye wasn't suited for business, and she shouldn't have pulled him into this circle in the first place. His abilities were insufficient, and too much money and power would inevitably breed ambition and other problems. It was time for him to reflect on his actions. Therefore, Lin Tianxiu didn't oppose her daughter's revenge.

  Lan Qi is standing on Ka Fei's side, so Lan Yun Da naturally has to stand on the child's side. For both public and private reasons, it would be more beneficial for her to stand on this side.

  Two adults tacitly discussed the prospects of future cooperation, especially with regard to the development plan for the land purchased in Beijing, after all, such a large investment!

  Kafi lit the lavender essential oil in the room, then brought out a new set of tea utensils, took out the top-grade Longjing tea specially sent by Teacher Yun, and slowly boiled water, scalded the cup, and brewed the tea...

  The moon daughter moved the guqin that her brother Yun Gang had just bought for her to the main hall, sat in a corner with a smile, and her ten fingers flew across the strings, the tinkling music adding a touch of elegance to the quiet atmosphere.

  "Separate Swallows?" Ning Auntie took a sip of the tea handed over by Kai Fei and smiled at Yue Er.

  "Uh-huh."

  "Such a life is really so good that it's hard to believe it's true." It seems like since she got into Harvard, everything at home has changed dramatically, the changes are happening so fast that she can barely keep up.

  "Of course it's true, mom, you have to believe that we will definitely have a life ten or even a hundred times better than this in the future." Ka Fei said with an air of grandeur.

  "Yes, kids have grown up and their achievements are unbelievable. You say you wrote a song and got tens of thousands of dollars."

  "Mom, this is just an advance dividend payment, when the sales volume comes later, the dividend might be even higher!"

  "My goodness, one of your songs actually earns more than my pharmaceutical factory in a month!" Lin Tianxiu felt it was a bit unfair and unbalanced!

  "It's just seizing an opportunity, nothing more!"

  "What do you want to do from now on?" A casual remark, also because I found that these children are flying too fast and climbing too high, making it impossible for parents to grasp them. Maybe the only way is to ask them what they want!

  "We just want to stand at the highest point and experience the feeling of looking down from above." Kaiyun said calmly, glancing at Kaifi and Lanchi.

  The air in the room seemed to have stopped circulating suddenly, and several adults simultaneously raised their heads to look at the three young men and women sitting or standing in the house.

  Is this your goal?

  For ordinary boys, this may just be a boastful remark, but for you who have already possessed the thinking of adults, is this your oath?

  Stand at the highest point and look down from above!

  What arrogance! What shock!

  Only these young people would have such domineering spirit, only these young people would have such pursuit. Several adults looked at each other and saw shock and surprise in each other's eyes. Looking at their children again, they had been apart for less than half a year, but the growth of the children made everyone unbelievable.

  Then let's wait and see how our children will climb to the highest point and look down on everyone!

  Outside the window, snowflakes are fluttering gently, while inside the house, a faint fragrance wafts around, and the flames in the fireplace dance with joyful leaps, constantly emitting warmth.

  The atmosphere in the house is so happy and intoxicating!
