Chapter 50
36
Some people are happy and some are worried, and some people don't know anything yet.
Obviously, the eighth detachment of high-level affairs belongs to the ranks that should not be known. But who let these people at the bottom get involved in this matter, and they also have a good relationship with one of the two parties to the incident, Monica, the chief consul of Anxing Province.
To be honest, Shang Si didn't expect Monica to actually get her hands on that energy mine. Although Monica seemed very confident in the last conversation, Shang Si always felt that the people of the Sheng Yue Council would not let go of this piece of fat. Unexpectedly, Monica really pulled out her teeth and snatched the energy mine.
I don't know what kind of anger those people in the upper echelons of Sheng Yue have become.
Oh, by the way, they're going to run away too.
Of course, it was not the people of the 8th detachment who did anything wrong, but, their entire detachment had a holiday.
That's right, it's the whole detachment, and you can also drive the Raven.
Although it is not a long time, and not everyone will have time to go home, for those who have been patrolling the desolate and boring frontier, it will be much happier to be able to go to the bustling area, even if it is just to get a touch of popularity.
This holiday was also approved by the bald superior who was stingy and didn't give them a good look. That bald man is now in good spirits at happy events, and his face is full of red light every day, as if he is about to be promoted. When the vacation was routinely approved this time, Shang Si originally thought that it would be good to have one or two people who could take a vacation, but he didn't expect to be approved for the entire team to take a vacation. It was a bonus.
However, it is clear that their bald superior is also in the range that should not be known, and he does not have a direct source of information like them. Therefore, the bald superiors are still fully isolated, thinking that they are about to be promoted.
Don't run now, wait when. Don't look at the bald superiors, as if their conscience had discovered it, they approved the leave for the entire team of the eighth detachment. With his character, once he knew that he had no hope of promotion, the first person to get angry was the eighth detachment. When the time comes, let alone a holiday, even the supplies are estimated to have to be withheld.
So when everyone in the eighth team learned that Monica was going to get the energy mine, their first reaction was to be surprised, and the second reaction was to run away quickly.
When the Raven arrived at the holiday date, it did not delay for a moment, and sailed towards the interior of An Sing Province in a puff of smoke.
Although Anxing Province is poor, there are a few cities that can be regarded as prosperous. Although it is certainly not as good as Sheng Yuezhong-Central Bank Province, it is enough to relax everyone in the eighth detachment.
There are people up there to do things, there is Monica, and the Raven is green all the way in the star field of Anxing Province, and then arrives at Said.
Said Star is a natural star located in the border area of Anxing Province, not far from the patrol area of the eighth detachment. At the same time, it is also Arnold's hometown.
Originally, the people didn't want to disturb Arnold and his family reunion, but at Arnold's warm invitation, the Raven finally arrived at the outer space port of Said.
After mooring the Raven and paying enough port berthing fees, the group took an air plane and landed at the surface airport of Seidstar Planet.
As soon as he stepped out of the cabin, Shang Si couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It was the smell of earth, mixed with the smell of plants in the wind, and with his breath, it soaked his entire body in an instant.
For more than a year, he had been inside the Raven, breathing air filtered by the system's repeated circulation, and seeing desolate uninhabited stars. He was about to forget what it was like to live on the planet of nature.
Obviously, I don't know Shang Si alone who feels like I'm coming back to life. The moment all the people in the eighth detachment went out of the hatch, they were subconsciously immersed in this land with the breath of life. Every time they breathe, they feel like a treat. Although it seems strange to others, anyone who has been floating in the universe for more than a year will feel that being down-to-earth is the greatest happiness in the universe.
There are not many people coming and going to the Senna, so the surface airport is a little empty, and there are naturally few people taking buses at the airport. Arnold looked very excited all the way, and now he beckoned everyone to get on a bus together.
Soon, the buses began to depart. The airport where they landed was built on the outskirts of the city, and the tall buildings of the city could be seen in the distance as the buses drove on the road. But the bus wasn't heading for the city center, and soon the tall buildings were left behind the horizon. And on the side of the road, large areas of farmland gradually appeared.
At this time, it was the summer of the Senna Star East Continent, and the golden ears of wheat hung heavily on the wheat stalks, and under the evening sun, it seemed that everywhere was a sea of wheat ears.
"This year's wheat is growing so well," Arnold leaned against the window of the bus, his hands against the glass and looking out.
"yes," Bowen looked out the window, "a good year." β
Arnold nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "It's definitely a bumper harvest, my grandma will be happy!" β
"The old people have always liked the harvest years." Su Ne smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, I'm about to be a guest at your house, I don't know who is in your family?" β
"Huh? Didn't I tell you? Arnold wondered.
Monk Sune was a latecomer, so he definitely didn't know, but even Yan Kou, who was the oldest in qualification, looked at Arnold, and his eyes clearly wrote: When did you sue us?
"Okay, okay," Arnold scratched his head, "I don't have a chance to say, I have my grandmother and my sister at home." β
"Huh? I didn't expect Arnold to have a younger sister. Yan Kou said, "How is it, are you beautiful?" β
Yan Kou didn't have any crooked thoughts, Arnold was only nineteen years old this year, and he knew that Arnold's sister was definitely not old, so he just said it smoothly, but he didn't expect Xiao Yi to grab the handle.
Xiao Yi squinted at Yan Kou: "Look at your obscene appearance!" I said Lao Yan, it's Arnold's sister who is beautiful, what does it have to do with you! β
"It doesn't matter anymore! How it doesn't matter! Yan Kou also knew that he had just spoken, but he didn't lose the battle, so he shouted loudly, "Arnold's sister is my sister, I'm an elder brother who cares about my sister, what's wrong?" β
"Poof!" Xiao Yi laughed out loud without giving Yan Kou any face, "Just you? Still being an older brother? You can be a grandfather to someone else's little girl at that age! β
Yan Kou was ridiculed by Xiao Yi and had nothing to say, so he could only mutter: "What's wrong with my age, I have a young mentality......"
The people of the eighth detachment couldn't help but laugh at Yan Kou's words.
After laughing, Sune still asked the question just now, Arnold is young, and everyone is also curious about his sister's age.
"My sister, I'm twelve years old, and her name is Alice." Arnold said, he was not angry at Yan Kou's words at all, but said to Yan Kou very happily: "My sister is beautiful and cute! β
Yan Kou blushed in embarrassment, and Xiao Yi was still laughing at him without giving up.
"A young grandfather, do you want to be the brother of a 12-year-old girl?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
β¦β¦
The bus traveled for almost an hour before finally arriving at the place Arnold had mentioned. After getting off the bus at the stop sign, everyone saw only a small path that was not wide.
"It doesn't take long to walk along this road." Arnold's face is full of smiles, he is about to go home, he hasn't been home for two years, I don't know how grandma is, is he okay? I don't know if my sister is obedient.
Arnold led the way, and everyone followed the cheerful boy on the path. The roadside was a large wheat field, and a gust of wind blew, and the wheat waves surged, stretching to the horizon in waves.
Walking through this wheat field, there is a small hill, and a village appears in front of everyone's eyes. The village is not large, there are only about two dozen households, and it seems that all of them are familiar with each other, and as soon as Arnold enters the village, someone greets him.
"Is it Mother-in-law Mona's Arnold?" In the distance, an uncle with a beard shouted loudly from afar.
"It's me, Uncle Jones." Arnold was also happy to say yes loudly.
"I saw it from afar and thought it was you." The bearded Jones laughed loudly, and then said to a few people who were working not far away, "It's Granny Mona's little Arnold who has returned!" β
"I'm back! This kid hasn't been back in a long time! A woman put down her work, straightened up, and said, "You must tell Granny SΓΉ Mona quickly." β
The other woman answered, "I saw Granny Mona go out in the morning today, and who of you knows where she went?" β
"I know," replied one of the women, "that she has gone to the wheat field outside the village, so I shall go to her now!" β
The woman said, and got up and went to find Granny Mona.
So Jones said loudly to Arnold: "Your grandma is out, someone has already called her, you and your friends go back first, wait, and your grandma will be back in a while!" β
"Good!"
β¦β¦
"You're all very welcoming." Sune said.
"Well, most of the people in this village have lived here for generations, so they are all familiar with each other, and everyone is like a family!" Arnold replied happily, and then he began to tell everyone about the interesting things that happened in the village. He said these things vividly, as if they were happening around everyone, and those who listened to them felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Sune, who was walking at the end, glanced at Arnold in the crowd, and there was imperceptible envy in his eyes.
"That's good......" Sune whispered.
β¦β¦
"Bell bell bell ~ everyone pay attention, what you are about to visit is the home of the best mechanical repairman in the universe - Arnold!"
Coming to a courtyard, Arnold ran up to everyone and made a funny announcement.
"Applause!"
As he spoke, Arnold took the lead in clapping his hands and crackling and slapping a string, and everyone laughed.
The yard is not large, it is surrounded by a low fence, and beyond the fence, you can see the peppers drying in the yard, as well as two fruit trees. There are already a lot of fruits hanging on the trees, but these fruits are still very green and far from edible at this time.
Arnold pushed open the door on the fence and walked in first, followed by the others. A black shadow quickly pounced on Anno while everyone was still looking at the courtyard.
Arnold was also startled at first, but he could feel the weight on his shoulders and the fluffy touch on his face, and he knew who it was.
"You're not good!" Arnold tapped the black cat's nose with his fingers, only to be rewarded with a gentle licking from the black cat.
Arnold giggled, then turned and said to the crowd:
"I'm going to introduce it now,"
Arnold held the black cat in his hand and held it up to everyone, "This is my twelve-year-old sister Alice!" β
