178: There was a traffic jam on the way home

After the banquet ended, Liu Xiaolin and his group returned to wander one to prepare for the return journey.

But Kayaski, who had come along, reminded them, "You all drank alcohol. It's better to return tomorrow. Safety first."

Liu Xiaolin felt that since everyone had drunk, staying for a night before leaving was fine. He agreed, as they would be staying in the cabin of wander one anyway, so there was no need to worry about safety issues.

When Liu Xiaolin was woken up by the phone call, it was already past eight o'clock the next morning.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was Niu De calling.

"What's going on? Why does Great Bear Country's news say that you all stayed in Great Bear Country?" Niu De asked angrily.

"What are you talking about? We drank celebratory wine last night and followed the principle of not driving after drinking. We all rested on wander one for the night and are about to return now." Liu Xiaolin was bewildered.

"Then look at the news." Niu De was scared stiff.

Liu Xiaolin opened the news app and saw the huge headline: "Dragon Country's wander one and all Astronauts who brought back the International Space Station haven't left!"

Liu Xiaolin was furious. This headline was too misleading! Of course, he hadn't left after staying for one night, but not leaving last night didn't mean he wouldn't leave today! It seemed media all over the world were the same, daring to use sensational headlines just to attract attention.

"I saw it. They wrote that headline just to grab attention. Don't worry, we're leaving now," Liu Xiaolin comforted him.

After the few people ate breakfast, Liu Xiaolin called Kayaski to say goodbye, and then took off for the return journey.

A little over ten minutes later, wander one returned to Wanderer Aerospace Headquarters and stopped.

Only after seeing wander one return did Niu De feel relieved. "Do you know? I was scared to death, afraid that they would intercept you," he said.

"Their supreme commander did want to keep us, but we wouldn't agree. Don't worry." Liu Xiaolin smiled and described the scene of drinking yesterday.

"Alright, now that you're back, I'm relieved. Go and get some rest. I'll handle the other matters," Niu De said.

"I plan to go home for a visit. I haven't been back to see my Mom and my sister for a long time," Liu Xiaolin said.

"That's good too. Go back and rest well at home for a few days, and spend time with your Mom," Niu De said.

Hong Tongtong stood behind Liu Xiaolin, her big eyes darting around, and she didn't say anything.

Niu De saw through Hong Tongtong's thoughts at a glance. "Also, remember to take your little sweetheart back with you for a visit, otherwise, by the time you return, your little sweetheart will have become your nemesis," he said.

Hong Tongtong's little thoughts were revealed by Niu De, and her face instantly turned bright red. "Engineer Niu, what are you talking about? Nonsense," she said.

"Am I talking nonsense? I'm helping you say what's in your heart." After Niu De finished speaking, he turned and left. There were so many post-flight matters to deal with.

"I was planning to take you back anyway," Liu Xiaolin said, looking at Hong Tongtong's red cheeks and smiling.

"Really?" Hong Tongtong's face turned even redder.

"Of course it's true! Let's go, we'll leave now." Liu Xiaolin pulled Hong Tongtong along.

"Just like this? Shouldn't I buy some gifts first?" Hong Tongtong said softly.

"Buy what gifts? You are the best gift!" Liu Xiaolin pulled Hong Tongtong into the car and set off.

"Mom, I'm setting off for home now. I'll probably get there around 12:30. Also, I'm bringing a good friend back with me," Liu Xiaolin said while driving and talking on the phone.

Hao Xiuhua was very pleasantly surprised to receive her son's call. She hadn't seen her son for several months.

"Then I won't go to work today. I'll cook a good meal at home and wait for you to come back and eat," Hao Xiuhua said excitedly.

"Okay, I like braised pig trotters the most," Liu Xiaolin said.

Then he glanced at Hong Tongtong. "What do you like to eat? I'll ask my Mom to make it for you. Her cooking is really delicious."

Hong Tongtong said shyly, "I'm not picky, I like to eat anything."

"Don't be shy. Just say what you want to eat," Liu Xiaolin continued to ask.

"Then I'll say it. I like beef the most. I like beef no matter how it's cooked," Hong Tongtong said.

"Mom, did you hear that? My girlfriend likes beef!" Liu Xiaolin said loudly.

"What? Girlfriend?" Hao Xiuhua was even more delighted. "A girlfriend is good, and liking beef is even better. I'll go buy ten pounds of beef right away."

"Good heavens, do you think my girlfriend is a pig? She can't eat that much," Liu Xiaolin said with a laugh.

"Don't worry about it, I know what to do. Hang up the phone and drive carefully." After Hao Xiuhua finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone.

She called Wang Shengjun to ask for leave, and then went to the wet market. She really bought ten pounds of beef, and also bought a large amount of pig trotters, ribs, and seafood. As soon as she got home, she started getting busy.

First, she cut off a large piece of beef to make marinated beef, and the rest was sliced, shredded, or minced, planning to make several beef dishes.

By the time she had almost finished preparing the dishes, it was already half past twelve, but she still hadn't seen any sign of her son.

"What's going on? Traffic jam? Car accident?" Hao Xiuhua guessed with trepidation.

Just then, the phone rang. Hao Xiuhua quickly pressed the answer button. "Xiaolin, where are you?"

"Mom, there's a traffic jam on the road. We're still halfway there. There was a car accident ahead, and all the cars are blocked. I don't know when we'll get home. You should eat first," Liu Xiaolin said on the phone.

Hao Xiuhua sighed. With this traffic jam, she really didn't know when they would get home. So she scooped a bowl of rice and started eating by herself. With a table full of dishes, she didn't find the food enjoyable at all.

At this moment, Liu Xiaolin was even more anxious. This was the first time he had encountered a traffic jam on his way to or from home.

"Why is there a traffic jam? It's really frustrating," Liu Xiaolin said, hitting the steering wheel. 33 Novel Network.

"There are more and more cars on the road now. A small accident often leads to traffic jams. Don't worry, we can't fly over, we can only wait," Hong Tongtong said.

"Why can't we fly over? It would be great if we could develop a car that can fly," Liu Xiaolin said.

"Who has that ability? Unless you develop it yourself," Hong Tongtong said with a smile.

"Developing it myself isn't impossible." Liu Xiaolin's heart stirred. Since someone was helping to handle wander one anyway, he might as well try something new and develop a flying car.

Once a traffic jam occurred, they could just fly away and land again when they reached a section of the road without traffic.
