Chapter 457 The Li Family Returns
"Xiao Mei, I'm your uncle!" Li Chenxing stepped forward, his eyes full of love, and carefully examined Ji Mei. Time had left its mark on her face, but she still bore the shadow of her younger sister. He still remembered that the last time he saw Ji Mei, she was only six years old, and now she had grown into a mature and steady woman.
"Uncle, welcome home." Ji Mei's eyes were slightly moist, and her voice was slightly choked with sobs. For so many years, she had been looking forward to the return of the Li family. Now that she had finally waited for this moment, the joy in her heart was beyond words.
"Well, we're back. Xiaomei, you've worked hard." Li Chenxing patted Ji Mei's shoulder gently, his eyes full of heartache. He knew that Ji Mei had been supporting the Su family alone for so many years and had suffered a lot. He was filled with gratitude and guilt towards her.
"Let me introduce you to these two. You probably don't know them. They're your grandparents." Li Chenxing turned around, pointed at Li Yanghui and Li Yuanyao, and introduced them to Ji Mei. His parents left shortly after his younger sister got married, before Ji Mei was born, so they had never met.
"Grandpa, Grandma, hello!" Ji Mei heard the introductions and immediately walked respectfully to Li Yanghui and Li Yuanyao, slowly knelt down, and kowtowed solemnly three times. In her heart, these two elders were her closest relatives, and meeting them for the first time, performing a grand ceremony was a sign of respect for them.
"Good girl, get up!" Li Yuanyao hurried forward and helped Ji Mei up with both hands, her eyes full of love. Looking at this sensible granddaughter in front of her, she felt both relieved and sad. She was relieved that her granddaughter was so well-behaved and sensible, but sad that her daughter would never be able to see this scene again.
"Grandma, if you have anything to say, let's go inside first!" Su Siyi stepped forward and gently tugged at Ji Mei's sleeve, reminding her. Seeing everyone standing at the gate, the sunlight outside was a bit glaring, so she thought of inviting everyone to rest inside first and then slowly reminisce about the past. Everyone finally came to their senses and smiled as they walked into the old house, ushering in a warm moment of family reunion.
Ji Mei gazed at the returning Li family members filling the courtyard, her face brimming with happiness and relief. For years, she had single-handedly supported the Su family, always cherishing the Li family's revival. Now that the Li family had finally returned, she knew it was time to hand over the family's responsibilities to them. Watching the Li family members greet and embrace one another, her eyes filled with emotion, as if she saw hope for the family's future. In her heart, the Li family's inheritance and development were about to usher in a new chapter, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief and return to her own life.
Nangong Jingming and Su Siyi exchanged a tacit glance. They understood that Grandpa and Grandma had much to say to the Li family right now, and they didn't want to interrupt this rare reunion. Furthermore, they were concerned with something more important—planting trees. The time for the spiritual energy explosion was drawing closer, with only a little over a year, almost two years, to go. Many pressing tasks awaited them, and every minute and every second seemed precious.
Without stopping, the two quickly boarded the hovercraft, which, like a streak of silver lightning, streaked across the sky and sped towards City A. Along the way, the cityscape flashed by like a slideshow, with tall buildings standing in rows and the streets bustling with traffic, a scene of prosperity.
"Ding, please go to the Star Building in City A to sign in." Su Siyi's system's crisp reminder sound suddenly rang in her mind, breaking the silence in the car.
"Brother Nangong, when did the Interstellar Building appear in our world?" Su Siyi frowned, her face full of confusion, and turned to look at Nangong Jingming. In her memory, although the world had undergone tremendous changes in the two years since she left, the appearance of the Interstellar Building still surprised her.
"Let me see where it is!" Nangong Jingming quickly turned on the car's intelligent brain and thought directly of the Interstellar Building, and the location appeared.
They were away for two years, during which time the city changed rapidly and many new buildings sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
"It really exists, right in the heart of City A." Nangong Jingming quickly found the coordinates of the Interstellar Building, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. City A was a prime location in the city, and the fact that the Interstellar Building could be built there showed its importance and uniqueness.
"It seems our country is still developing rapidly," Su Siyi sighed with emotion. She gazed out the car window into the distance, filled with pride for her country's rapid progress. The fact that such a striking interstellar building could be built in just two years demonstrates the country's strong scientific and technological strength and innovative capabilities.
"Then let's go take a look!" Nangong Jingming's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an expectant smile. Like Su Siyi, he was full of curiosity about the Interstellar Building and couldn't wait to explore it.
The two drove their hovercars as fast as they could to the entrance of the Interstellar Building. At that moment, the building was bustling with activity. The people were bustling about, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity. Just one glance at the building revealed its popularity.
"System, sign in." Su Siyi took a deep breath and silently gave instructions to the system in her heart.
"Ding, Interstellar Building sign-in successful. Reward: an Interstellar Building, one million points." The system's cheerful reward notification chime instantly rang out, and Su Siyi's face flashed with surprise. She had never imagined that the sign-in reward would be a building. This was completely unexpected. She wondered if this building was exactly like the one in front of her.
She eagerly opened her system backpack and examined it carefully. Inside, she found a miniature building model. Compared to the magnificent Interstellar Building before her, the rewarded building model was like the difference between a king and a pawn. The rewarded building model radiated a mysterious and brilliant light, seemingly imbued with boundless energy. While the Interstellar Building before her was also magnificent, it paled in comparison to the rewarded building.
"Let's go up and take a look!" Su Siyi looked at the interstellar building in front of her, and her curiosity grew stronger. She couldn't wait to know what the inside of the building looked like.
"Okay." Nangong Jingming nodded. He was also curious about the interior of the building and wanted to see what was so unique about this building made of interstellar materials.
