Li Mo seems to have been away for two years, but it seems that he has never left the public eye. In the past two years, countless changes have taken place in the world, but when he appeared again, everyone discovered that that person had always been by their side.
The battle with the Island Kendo Federation caused a worldwide discussion. In today's society, the competition between cold weapons is more reflected in the sports kendo, that is, friendly discussions, and winners and losers. In ancient times, fighting with cold weapons can only be seen in movies and TV shows, and nowhere else can you see it live.
Especially after Li Mo was attacked and assassinated by a sneak attack, and the descendants of the two island nation's kendo alliances were counterattacked and killed, countless people were full of curiosity about this ancient kendo.
Li Mo didn't care too much about private discussions. With the emergence of domestic treasures one after another, he was already collecting information on some foreign treasures.
Since assisting the French official in finding the European Templar treasure, he feels that there are more unsolved treasure mysteries waiting for him to explore in this world.
Of course, he can't just look for treasures abroad if he wants to. Most of them are countries without order. Maybe he will be secretly targeted as soon as he shows up.
Li Mo had in-depth communication with the officials, and many people were also surprised by his decision. But if you think about it carefully, it's right. The treasures unearthed in the country essentially belong to the country and the people of the whole country. Li Mo only has the rights but does not have any right to dispose of them. It doesn't matter whether he wants them or not.
"Dad, Sister Yanzi said that you are a very good fighter and can defeat many people by yourself. Dad, can I learn how to beat people from you?"
Sisi hugged his legs and looked up at him and said.
"Dad, I want to learn too."
Ruirui is naturally not to be outdone.
Li Mo, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly turned to look at Chen Xiaoyan, who was eating an orange not far away, with a stern look in his eyes. Chen Xiaoyan was so frightened that she immediately stood up and ran away.
"Look, you scared people." Qin Sirui peeled an apple and handed it to him, "I heard that the official organized a team of nearly 300 people this time, bringing together experts from major museums and archeology professors from major universities. When you go to the island country to sort out those collections, you don’t have any indication?”
"What I said is that this time it is officially organized. At most, after the 480,000 pieces of the collection have returned to China smoothly, I will hold a celebration banquet for them. But it won't be that fast. It will probably take several months. "
While nibbling on an apple, Li Mo touched the heads of his two daughters and said with a smile: "Dad's skills are not great, but your sister Yanzi is really amazing. You can learn how to fight from her later."
"I want to learn from dad."
"Me too."
The two daughters each held a leg and rocked coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, then dad will teach you how to fight from next year, okay?"
"Yeah, daddy is awesome."
"Kiss daddy."
The two girls made Li Mo smile.
Qin Sirui also peeled an apple and sat next to him while eating it and said, "Xiao Mo, aunt and uncle finally separated."
"When did this happen?"
Li Mo was stunned. The couple had stopped working without pay two years ago, mainly because their son had one of his hands chopped off. I haven't heard of anything else happening between them in the past two years. Why did they suddenly separate now?
"Just yesterday, my aunt left home. She was too embarrassed to return to the Qin family compound, so she temporarily rented a house outside. To put it bluntly, their separation is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, the Jia family has actually been separated for so many years. I have always had strong opinions on my aunt and our Qin family. I blame my grandpa for not helping my uncle. But if you want to get along well in the system, it is not enough to just have someone pushing you from behind. It also depends on how you walk. Isn’t it time to have the strength?”
Li Mo finished the apple in two mouthfuls, then reached out and snatched the apple from Sirui's mouth and continued eating.
"It's cold outside, we can eat hot pot. You call aunt and ask her to come to our house for dinner in the evening. Even if she is separated from us in her heart, she is an elder after all. Now that she has something to do, we still have to stand by her side. Support her."
Qin Sirui nodded: "I'll call aunt now."
Liu Yingying and the others returned to their home in Kyoto to live for a while. Qin Jiaye and his wife didn't know what they were thinking. They said they wanted to live in a world of two and return to their own home. Li Mo's family was the only one left in the huge Guyunxuan Manor.
Fortunately, there is also a living treasure, Chen Xiaoyan, and Fu Liang, who is called his uncle all day long. With the two of them here, the manor will not be too deserted.
Qin Yali had lost a lot of weight and was wearing a long black down jacket. This was her first time walking into Guyunxuan Manor. Although Qin Sirui was with her all the way, it was obvious that she was a little unnatural.
"Auntie, when you get here, it's like you're at your own home. You don't have to be so restrained."
"Hey, when my aunt has reached this point, she has to bear a lot of responsibility. She has lived in vain for so many years. The family has not been taken care of well, and the children have not been well educated. Auntie is a little embarrassed to see you."
"Xiao Mo often says that nine out of ten things in life will be unsatisfactory. If you encounter obstacles, it will be fine, but you are afraid that you will not dare to lift your legs and step forward. In life, you still have to look forward. If you stay where you are, you will not be able to go back to the past."
"Xiao Mo still sees clearly."
The two walked into the restaurant, where a mutton hot pot was set up on a round table for six people, surrounded by plates of side dishes, including meat and vegetables, and several plates of freshly thawed seafood.
"aunt."
Li Mo walked out of the kitchen with a large plate of braised lamb chops. When he saw Qin Yali, he smiled and shouted.
"Sirui said that my aunt loved to eat braised lamb ribs when she was young. After getting married, no one in the family liked the mutton smell, so you ate very little. Occasionally you went out to pick toothpicks by yourself. This big plate of braised lamb The ribs have been stewed for a long time and are very delicious. How about we share it between the two of us later?"
Qin Yali's eyes suddenly became wet and her nose felt sore. Because of her family, she has really given up a lot over the years. Unexpectedly, the person who still remembers her favorite braised lamb ribs is Sirui.
"Auntie, don't stand, sit down quickly."
Qin Sirui pulled Qin Yali to sit on the chair. At this time, Chen Xiaoyan walked in and said: "Little uncle, that Jia Siyuan stayed outside in the car and refused to get out, saying he was too embarrassed to see you again. He was going to eat something casually in the commercial street opposite, but was I escorted him back."
Li Mo sat on the empty chair next to Qin Yali, first gave her a mutton chop and said with a smile, "Auntie, the heat is just right. You can try it."
Qin Yali wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded.
Li Mo then turned to look outside the door. Jia Siyuan was standing at the door with his head lowered.
"Why, you don't recognize me as brother-in-law, and you don't even recognize sister Sirui?"
Jia Siyuan raised his head and glanced at Li Mo, then walked into the restaurant carefully.
"Hello, brother-in-law, hello sister Sirui."
"You still know how to call me brother-in-law. Are there so many delicious foods here that are not as tasty as the snacks in the commercial street opposite?"
Qin Sirui signaled him not to say anything more, then walked over, took his hand, walked to the table, patted his shoulder and said, "It's cold outside, let's eat first."
Chen Xiaoyan warmed a bottle of rice wine and put a few slices of old ginger in it. She poured herself a cup first, then looked at the empty cup in front of Li Mo and asked, "Uncle, would you like some too?"
"Don't drink it, this stuff has a lot of stamina."
Li Mo shook his head and refused.
"Are you coming?" Chen Xiaoyan looked at Jia Siyuan again and asked.
Jia Siyuan stood up subconsciously, held the cup in both hands and stretched it out to her.
Chen Xiaoyan poured him a cup and said with a smile: "It's not that I have to keep you closed to eat hot pot, but that's what my junior uncle ordered. He said that if you don't come today, you will never be allowed to take another step in your life. . If you come, even if I break your legs again, I will drag you over to see him."
Qin Yali immediately understood Li Mo's intentions and nodded to him gratefully.
Jia Siyuan slowly straightened up, held up the rice wine with both hands, looked at Li Mo and said, "Brother-in-law, this glass of wine is my apology to you."
After saying that, he raised his head and drank it in one breath. It was probably because there was a little too much ginger in the rice wine and it was spicy enough. After drinking the rice wine, his throat was so spicy that he coughed.
"Siyuan, drink some warm water."
Qin Sirui handed him a glass of water, and Siyuan took it and drank more than half of it before feeling better. Although he had one of his hands chopped off, fortunately, he was rescued in time and the hand was reattached. He was treated by famous doctors when he returned to China. After more than two years of rehabilitation training, the flexibility of the broken hand was not greatly affected, but it is still unable to function. Lifting heavy objects and the like.
"Siyuan, what are your plans for the future?"
Li Mo also put a braised lamb rib in the bowl in front of him and asked him what he thought.
"Sister Siqi lent me a sum of money. I bought a shop in a commercial street at the entrance of a residential area, and now I am doing braised vegetables business."
"Why do you want to do this?"
"Sister Siqi said that your disciple Yangyang's uncle and aunt were very unreliable before. Later, you gave them a chance, and they started a new life, starting with the stewed vegetable business. After hard work, the couple became Several chain stores have been opened one after another, and the business is booming. I believe that as long as I work hard and down-to-earth, one day I can do small things well and make them big."
Li Mo picked up the water cup and took a sip of warm water: "How long have you been doing this?"
"For four months, business has been good. Now I have hired three helpers."
"Don't talk standing up, sit down." Li Mo put vegetables into the hot pot and brushed them, and gave Sirui and Qin Yali a little each. "Do it well, and come and sit here often when you have time."
"Okay, brother-in-law."
Qin Yali looked at the table and asked, "Sirui, where are your parents-in-law and your children?"
"They were eating their own chicken stew in another restaurant. The child said that grandpa's stewed potatoes were delicious, so they ate them there together."
"Auntie, the expert team has been assembled and will leave for the island country the day after tomorrow. I want you to go with everyone and be responsible for everything."
"Me?" Qin Yali was a little surprised, then shook her head and said, "I have been away from my post for more than two years. How can I still be qualified to lead the team?"
"No one is more suitable than you. After all, you have been in charge of this matter before, and you have some contact with various archaeological experts and museum experts in the country. There are many people in the team who are your old friends. Take advantage of this Go out for a walk every time, firstly to relax your mind, and secondly, to calm down and live the life you want to live.”
Li Mo did not allow her to refuse and continued: "I communicated this matter with the superiors at noon. The superiors fully agree. I believe someone will inform you to report it immediately tomorrow morning."
Qin Yali didn't know what to say, she just held back her tears, lowered her head and ate the braised lamb chops in silence. It was so delicious, better than anything she had eaten when she was young.
December passed in a hustle and bustle, and the New Year's Day festival arrived. Li Mo was invited by Peking University to attend the New Year's Day party. He drove an off-road vehicle into the Peking University campus. The car did not attract attention. After all, off-road vehicles are still very common models.
After parking the car, he saw Zheng Bin rubbing his hands and waiting for someone in the parking space next to him. Li Mo got out of the car and sneaked up on him from behind, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Professor Zheng, who are you waiting for?"
Zheng Bin suddenly turned around and shouted when he saw Li Mo: "Damn, I read that right, it's really you, Academician Li Mo."
"Do you want to do a facial identification on me?" Li Mo joked, "But I still like to hear people call me Professor Li."
"Why?"
The status of an academician is so awesome. Fifty professors may not be able to produce even one academician. Could it be that he still dislikes it?
"Professor status is more down-to-earth. Look at all the major professors on campus. Have you seen any academicians who appear often?"
Zheng Bin thought for a moment, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Gao Lun, your point of view is different. Let's go to the auditorium together."
"No, you must be waiting for someone else. Why don't you just leave with me now?"
"Waiting for my wife, she has just been promoted to associate professor, and she has been showing off in front of me recently."
"Aren't you already rated as a full professor? You happen to be one level above her, so why are you still being bullied by her?"
"Women are always unreasonable sometimes, hahaha."
When Li Mo signed in at the door, countless students and Peking University faculty and staff immediately surrounded him.
"Academician Li, long time no see."
"Professor Li, you were so fierce the past few days. You were like a living martial arts master. You could barely walk over walls."
"It's Academician Li, not Professor Li anymore."
"Academician Li, do you still have time to give us a few open classes?"
"Don't crowd me. Let me take a photo with Academician Li first."
The sign-in area suddenly became chaotic. Li Mo quickly stretched out his hand to ask everyone to calm down, and then said with a smile: "It all depends on the school's arrangements. The final exam will be in ten days, and I should still have some time. But now It's not the right place to chat here. If everyone blocks the entrance, the classmates who don't know what happened behind may have hurt us several times.
There was a bit of humor in what Li Mo said, and everyone around him immediately laughed, and then made way for Li Mo to enter the auditorium first.
"I don't want to be with you anymore?" Zheng Bin couldn't help but sigh, "As long as you are here, I can't even be considered a foil."
"Professor Zheng, you have to have confidence in yourself."
