"Hey......"

A sigh in silence, and finally, the mother-in-law's words broke the oppressive atmosphere.

"Hey, well, why are you talking about this, Mu'er, you just came home today, and the atmosphere is a little more joyful. ”

The mother-in-law's complaint made the suppressed and almost stagnant atmosphere on the table suddenly melt away, and the other three people smiled in unison, and the joyful atmosphere returned to the table.

"Hey, yes, yes, you see, it's rare to go home, and you can't take it with you at home for a few days, why mention these unhappy things, don't mention this, don't mention this......"

Dad smiled and taught Zhao Mu a lesson by the way.

"Look at you, everyone else is happy to go home, but you're good, when you finally go home, you know that you're blocking your grandparents. ”

Zhao Mu admitted his mistake with a smile and took the initiative to apologize.

"Hehe, it's me who is wrong, don't mention this, let's be happier. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Mu raised his glass again.

"Grandpa, mother-in-law, Dad, I said the wrong thing just now, this cup, I respect you, I hope you are healthy at home. My son is busy with work outside the home, so I don't have time to go home with you, please understand. ”

This sentence is not wrong, grandpa, mother-in-law, and dad all smiled and raised their wine glasses.

Sitting on the seat, grandpa raised the wine glass with his right hand and touched the wine glass raised by Zhao Mu's hands gently, and Zhao Mu, who stood up, consciously bowed his waist slightly, so that the height of the wine glass in his hand was slightly lower than that of his grandfather.

The two wine glasses touched, and the grandfather raised the wine glass to Zhao Mu and said: "Mu'er, let the past pass! Although your results in the college entrance examination are not ideal, but you are now out of business, you have a good job and can make a lot of money, which is better than anything else." ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhao Mu listened carefully to his grandfather's words and kept every word of his words firmly in his heart.

Looking at his grandfather's cloudy eyes, he looked old, but there was no bloodshot in his eyes that had made Zhao Mu extremely ashamed when he looked at it, which made Zhao Mu deeply happy for him.

For this family, grandpa worked hard all his life.

The burden of the family is all on his shoulders, not only his father's third son, but also the eldest son, second son, daughter, and even his brothers and sisters of his own generation.

Since Zhao Mu remembered, his grandfather had been going out early and returning late every day, never sleeping for more than seven hours a day, and he could often be seen sitting there and falling asleep in less than ten minutes.

Spending the most thoughts, eating the cheapest meals, wearing the cheapest clothes, and staying in the cheapest hotels when they are out of the home......

For the sake of this family, my grandfather worked tirelessly until he was in his sixties and nearly seventy years old, day after day, year after year.

The perennial fatigue made his grandfather's eyes always have thick bloodshots, which made Zhao Mu scared when he was a child, and he was a little more worried.

And now, Zhao Mu is extremely grateful for everything his grandfather has paid for this family, and with his not tall body and not broad shoulders, he silently supported this family and became the backbone of this family.

If it weren't for the fact that the family finally had a little bit of income and could support the burden of the family, grandpa would not have had these two years of leisure, and he would have to continue to drag his old body to work for this family, and he didn't know when he would be freed.

Perhaps, the day of liberation can only be the day when he finally dies.

If this is the case, then how tiring and sad this life will be.

I have worked hard all my life, and I can't rest for a moment, just for my own home. No leisure, not the slightest space of your own. Even what was supposed to be a carefree childhood was often worried about a foreseeable and heavy future.

However, grandpa is not the only one with such a gray and black life.

In the village, people like my grandfather who have worked all their lives abound. Grandpa is just one of them who has performed very well and done very well.

and out of their own village, the next village, the same county and other villages...... Tens of millions of remote and impoverished rural areas in China have countless stories of the same or even more tragic ones.

Fortunately, the motherland is becoming stronger day by day, people's living standards are getting better day by day, and the younger the generation, the more they can enjoy a better material standard of living.

Even, there is the so-called princess disease and young master disease!

However, no matter how society changes, how superior life becomes, family, and responsibilities are topics that every man cannot avoid in his life.

Different from the romantic sweetness of love, family is serious, responsibility is heavy, and life, above it, is colorful, making people happy and sad, giving people laughter, but also making people cry, giving people hope, but also destroying the dreams of countless people......

Looking at the grandfather in front of him, although there was the cloudiness of the elderly in his eyes, there was no bloody frame that made people both scared and sad, and the improvement looked even better than in previous years, Zhao Mu felt a lot more relieved.

"yes, I see. Zhao Mu replied solemnly.

After the grandfather, the mother-in-law also told Zhao Mu: "Mu'er, work hard outside, earn money, go home to see us when you have time, and call us often if you don't have time......

The mother-in-law's words did not end for a long time, which made the grandfather of a plate frown and said impatiently:

"Where did you come from to talk so much, we are fine at home, why do you always let Mu'er come home to see us?

"You person, what's wrong with me talking to my grandson, you have to take care of this? ”

The mother-in-law said unswervingly, obviously dissatisfied with her words being interrupted.

"Where did you come from to say so much, didn't you see Mu'er standing and raising his cup for a long time, what did you say to him to sit down and say yes?" Grandpa's loud voice raised his voice, and every time his words were refuted.

"Okay, don't say it, I don't say it's okay?"

The mother-in-law muttered, and then said to Zhao Mu: "Okay, Mu'er, you sit down to eat first, and we'll talk about it later." ”

At the end of the sentence, the mother-in-law complained: "You heard it all, besides, someone is angry." ”

"It's ...... to be loud at every turn"

"Hey, you're reasonable, aren't you?"

Hearing his mother-in-law's muttering, Grandpa suddenly stared at his mother-in-law with wide eyes, and his voice suddenly raised.

"Dad, drink, drink and eat. ”

The father of the plate said to his grandfather repeatedly, breaking up his grandfather's next words and dispelling his anger.

Zhao Mu also hurriedly persuaded: "Grandpa, don't mention this, don't mention this......"

Seeing that his grandfather withdrew the words in his mouth and kept silent, Zhao Mu and his father secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, he didn't let grandpa's volcano erupt, otherwise with his violent temper, the atmosphere of today's meal would be completely gone.

"Dad, I respect you. ”

Zhao Mu decisively changed the topic, and couldn't let the topic stay there just now.

"Okay, Mu'er, we don't have to say so much, I understand a lot about what you want to say, Dad. Dad raised his glass and said simply and bluntly.

"I'll just say it. ”

"Feel free to work outside to earn money, just pay attention to your body. With your father and me at home, you don't have to worry about anything, your grandparents have me to take care of them. ”

"Come, drink, don't talk so much. Grandpa raised his wine glass and touched it with Zhao Mu.

"Yes, drink, eat. ”

The four wine glasses touched together, and the four of them all smiled, or happy, or relieved, and the same thing, all four of them were in the same happy mood.

After a glass of wine, the atmosphere at the table was lively, and the smiles on everyone's faces never fell.

Drinking the old wine that his grandfather had treasured for many years, eating the delicious meals that his father had prepared for a day, enjoying the taste of home, and chatting about his parents' shortcomings, Zhao Mu's mood was extremely relaxed and happy.

Home is always a harbor for the soul, a place where a tired and tired heart can rest and be peaceful.

Here, you don't have to wear any hypocritical masks, you don't have to worry about your public image and restrain yourself, and you don't have to be hypocritical with people you don't like.

Although, this is always my own personality, and it is often the same when I work outside. However, it is never possible to be as comfortable and laid-back as at home.

When the conversation was happy, the mother-in-law sighed: "It's a pity, Yue'er didn't come back, if he came back, it would be even more lively." ”

And on this side of the empire, all kinds of flying machines are struggling to resist under the siege of monsters, and there are countless people on the ground with all kinds of advancing or backward weapons, regardless of life and death.

With a wave of its forelimbs, the lives of a group of people were lost, leaving the ground with severed limbs and blood all over the land.

And the most angry and desperate thing is that these monsters even swallowed the stumps and severed arms of the dead soldiers on the ground, and in the process, the wounds on their bodies are slowly healing in the process.

Originally, these huge creatures had high defense, and it was difficult to damage them, but now their wounds can still heal, and they are still devouring corpses, which makes people angry and a little powerless.

In the ranks of resistance, many of the weapons used are lasers or other energy weapons.

But Zhao Mu could clearly see that the carapace on the body of these monsters had a high defense against the damage of these energy weapons, and ordinary energy weapons could not cause damage to them, only some energy weapons that looked obviously strong or the combined attack of many energy weapons could kill them.

And the most important thing is that these monsters have a very strong hand-to-hand combat ability, often they approach the aircraft or humans with the damage of energy weapons that are not strong for them, and quickly approach them, and then the outcome after being close to them is generally the death caused by the monster.

Unlike these advanced energy weapons, there are still some backward thermal weapons on the battlefield, but the damage of these thermal weapons to these monsters seems to be much greater than that of obvious energy weapons.

It is often the explosion of pieces of artillery shells or incoming missiles, but it can cause huge damage to monsters, leaving behind a pile of monster corpses. Even some of the weapons inside the firearms can deal enough damage to them.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Mu turned his head and looked at Chen Mengyue suspiciously, and asked, "What's going on? Why does it seem that the damage of advanced weapons to them is not as high as that of the thermal weapons that seem backward?"

Hearing Zhao Mu's question, Chen Mengyue showed a sad expression, " This is the major reason for the demise of our empire, these monsters may be because of their innate devouring ability, they have a strong resistance to the damage of our energy weapons, unless the energy is strong enough to a certain extent, it is difficult to cause enough damage to them, on the contrary, through thermal weapons, it can cause enough physical damage to them, but unfortunately thermal weapons were abandoned by us soon after the footsteps of our civilization walked out of the ancestral star because of huge pollution and huge destructive power, and instead began the research of various energy weapons, and later, after our civilization did not meet the enemy for a long time, even the research of energy weapons slowed down or even shelved the research。 ”

"Oh, devouring ability, able to resist the damage of energy weapons, this is the innate demon resistance is too high......" Hearing Chen Mengyue's words, Zhao Mu thought of the magic resistance attributes in various games, and wanted to complain, but seeing the sadness on Chen Mengyue's face, he couldn't help but what he wanted to complain about next.

"But their resistance to energy weapons is really a bit strong, which is too perverted. ”

"This is why we have forgotten the consequences of war for too long because we have been civilized and peaceful, and if we could have responded earlier, we should not have been so passive. These monsters can improve their defense by constantly devouring, before this, they have devoured the resources of most of the planets in our empire, and now the resistance is of course very strong, and the most important thing is that they can continue to devour resources to reproduce, so the later the war, their number has not decreased, but has increased. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Mengyue's face had an expression of sadness and regret.

"Oh, and they can also devour all kinds of resources, not just living things?"

"Yes, their nature dooms us two species to coexist, so we know we have to fight to the end. ”

After speaking, Chen Mengyue said, you see, this is the footprint they left after they walked through. While speaking, Chen Mengyue was a little in the space in front of her, and another picture appeared in a part of the space in front of her.

What a bleak picture. When you look at the past, it is first and foremost a gray-white planet. As the picture slowly closes in, the earth, mountains, rivers, and oceans appear...... , and then what made Zhao Mu's heart tremble. After looking at all the places, Zhao Mu didn't see a trace of greenery.

Everything was gray and white, and there were no more trees on the ground, except for the occasional glimpse of fallen trees and dead roots.

There was no more water in the river, only patches of dry riverbeds, in which the bones of countless aquatic creatures could be seen.
