1. Meteorites from the sky
"Ah...... It's finally done. ”
Tang Ming sat in front of the computer on the desk, stretched hard, stretched his muscles, then closed the computer, got up to say hello to the leader, and left the company with his backpack.
He came to the underground parking lot, found his Chery QQ, opened the trunk and checked it, and saw that the things he bought for his parents were there, so he drove away.
Today is September 30th, tomorrow is the 11th Golden Week, the company gave them a seven-day holiday, taking advantage of the holiday, he wants to go home to see his parents.
Tang Ming went to university in Songjiang City, so after graduating from university, he stayed in Songjiang City to work, while his parents lived in a remote town more than 400 kilometers away from Songjiang City, and he could only go back once or twice a year.
Since he came back from the Chinese New Year in February, he has not seen his parents for seven or eight months, although he often talks on the phone, but he is still very worried about them, I don't know how their health is now, after all, his parents are also old, and he is not by their side.
He drove out of the city, and when he entered the highway, it was almost four o'clock, and he estimated the time to be home by seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
After walking on the highway for more than an hour, he came to a junction, he turned the steering wheel, got off the highway, walked less than a kilometer, entered a small town, he had to pass through the middle of this town, and then walked more than a hundred kilometers to get home.
The stone road in the township could not be compared with the highway, not only was the width very narrow, but the side of the road was potholed, which was not too easy to walk, so he could only reduce his speed and drive forward slowly.
It took him a few minutes to leave the town, the road here was still uneven, and the sky was getting darker, he still didn't dare to speed up, so he could only drive slowly, fortunately there were few pedestrians on the road, and he couldn't see a car for a few minutes, so he didn't have to worry about a traffic accident.
Tang Ming drove for two or three hours in a row, feeling very tired, he changed his position, stretched his waist, and continued to drive forward.
He had just walked forward for a short time, when suddenly, a flash of fire appeared in the sky in front of the road, illuminating the entire sky, and then the fire quickly smashed to the ground, and he instantly felt the whole ground shake.
"Damn, what is this, a missile, or a meteor?"
Tang Ming was startled, hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and the car slid forward a few meters before stopping on the road.
He got out of the car and walked forward cautiously, and after walking more than a hundred meters, he saw a deep pit with thick smoke, and the ground around the pit was cracked, as if a heavy object had fallen from the sky.
"This is a crater, not a missile. ”
Tang Ming stood on the edge of the pit and observed carefully for a while, and came to a conclusion in his heart.
Thinking of meteorites, he was happy, he usually likes to study some strange things, and he knows meteorites well.
Meteorites are extremely collectible, and the price of meteorites is calculated in grams, especially lunar meteorites and Martian meteorites, which are priced at several hundred dollars a gram, which is extremely expensive, even if it is an ordinary meteorite, the price is also a few dollars to one or two hundred dollars a gram.
"I made a fortune this time! I didn't expect to go home and encounter a meteorite from the sky, my luck is really good, shouldn't I buy a lottery ticket, maybe I can win five million!" Tang Ming thought excitedly in his heart.
However, he immediately thought of another question, as far as he knew, most meteorites contain radiation, which will cause harm to the human body, and he does not know whether this meteorite has radiation.
He was a little frightened and thought of retreating, but he immediately thought that if he got this meteorite and sold it, it would be enough for him to buy a big house in Songjiang City, and then change to a good car, for him with a monthly salary of only three or four thousand yuan, a big house and a good car were enough for him to struggle for a lifetime, and if he missed this opportunity now, he would definitely regret it in the future.
"Ma Dan, wealth and danger are sought, no matter whether it has radiation or not, pick it up first. ”
Tang Ming gritted his teeth, made up his mind, did not hesitate any longer, immediately jumped into the pit, and saw a football-sized irregularly shaped meteorite lying in the middle of the pit, he touched it with his hand, but he screamed and took his hand back, it turned out that the meteorite had just fallen from the sky, and the temperature was still very hot, which burned his fingers.
He endured the pain, took off his clothes, wrapped the meteorite, climbed up from the crater, and brought it back to the car.
He threw the co-opter wrapped in his clothes into the passenger seat, and as he sat in the seat, his heart pounding, excited and nervous.
"Whew...... ...... "Tang Ming let out a few breaths to ease his mood, he was afraid that others would see him pick up a meteorite, so he didn't dare to stay here longer, started the vehicle, and hurriedly drove away.
The rest of the journey was smooth and uneventful, and by half-past seven he was back in his hometown town and parked his car in front of his house.
He got out of the car, opened the yard door, and drove the car into the yard.
His father Tang Jianguo heard the sound of the car and walked out of the house, and when he saw that it was Tang Ming, he hurriedly greeted him, walked to Tang Ming's side and said happily: "Son, I'm back." ”
"Dad, I'm back. Tang Ming got out of the car and said, "Dad, I brought some things back for you and my mother, let's take the house." ”
While talking to Tang Jianguo, Tang Ming opened the trunk and took things out from the inside, and soon, there were a lot of things piled up on the ground.
"What are you buying so many things for? Although Tang Jianguo said this, he was still very happy in his heart, after all, this was his son's heart, and he was of course happy to have a filial son.
Tang Ming smiled: "It didn't cost much, the down jacket and woolen sweater were bought during the summer special price, the price was cheap at that time, I saw that there was a suitable one, so I bought a few pieces for you and my mother, and the rest had milk powder, and some nutritional products, which were bought for my grandfather." ”
Hearing Tang Ming say this, Tang Jianguo didn't say anything anymore.
Tang Ming and Tang Jianguo took a few bags and walked to the house, Tang Ming walked a few steps, remembered the meteorite placed on the passenger seat, he turned around and took the meteorite, and followed Tang Jianguo back to the house.
"Mom, what are you going to eat?"
Tang Ming put his things away, came to the kitchen, and saw his mother Su Huiqin.
She was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and she was very happy to see her son back, she smiled and said, "It's all your favorite food, your father bought it in the morning, and drove all afternoon, are you hungry?"
Tang Ming smiled: "I'm really hungry." ”
Su Huiqin said: "Then wash your hands first, and the meal will be ready immediately." ”
"Hmm. Tang Ming nodded, went outside and took out the basin, drew some water from the water tank, poured it into the basin, put his hands in it, and soaked it.
His right index finger was picking up a meteorite just now, and a blister came out, although more than an hour has passed, it is no longer very painful, but it still feels a little swollen and painful, and now it feels much more comfortable to soak in the cold water.
