Mario's father forbade the two to bring his mother-in-law over, and Mario was really reluctant to part with his father so soon, so he and Xiao An have been living on this planet with their father-in-law these days. However, despite the wealth of this diamond planet, it seems that there are only diamonds, like some other necessities of life have to be transported by other planets. Because this small planet is not very suitable for habitation, it is only in order to better monitor the progress of mining in real time, so my father-in-law will always live here.

As for Xiao An, she quickly passed the freshness of this place, and she also realized more and more that the gold and silver nests were not as good as her own kennels. What's more, the diamond house where my father-in-law lives can't be called a home at all. It was just a workaholic's luxury studio, and it was only because of the size of the space that Mario's father had temporarily set aside a few rooms for the two of them.

Alas, it's not fun at all, it's a gem cold everywhere, and there are almost no women, and there's no better place to compare to the home of the South Pole Star, which was warmly cleaned up by her mother-in-law.

This is that Xiao An has reconciled with her mother-in-law, otherwise, even if she is not reconciled, compared to the current diamond house, she will still miss that simple but warm home.

So, she wondered, why are the personalities of Mario's father and son so far apart? Is it just because one was a soldier, and the other was raised by his mother since he was a child? On a planet where there are almost no women, what Xiao An sees is basically the indifference of men, and, probably because no women have been here for a long time, they are almost unlikely to greet her. Although it is not necessary, it is still very awkward to really have to face cold faces all day long. Of course, she also confirmed one thing, that is, her mother-in-law does not have to worry about her father-in-law's change of heart.

The contradictions between the two of them basically stem from dissatisfaction with their respective personalities, and the relationship is not too deteriorating, if one of them changes in time, it is very likely to spend a good moon.

"Miss An, you're not used to being here, aren't you?"

The messenger in the Diamond House spoke to Chasa. It was an older aunt who usually took care of everyone's diet and daily life, and was one of the few women here.

"Well, it's a little!" Xiao An replied. "Mainly, there are very few people of the same sex who talk to me here, and you usually have to work, so I'm too embarrassed to disturb, I really don't understand whether it's big or not, but it's not too small. Why can't my father-in-law recruit a few girls to work? She was thinking, if she had, wouldn't she have a companion, Mario was a boy no matter how good she was, even if she had recognized him as her husband in her heart, but there were some things she still had to say to her best friend.

What's more, despite having spent so many days together, it is still difficult for her to convince herself to accept this marriage completely, and all the while, she wonders if there is a better way to repay the favor.

"Huh. Speaking of which, there have been girls here before, but they are basically called girls, the kind that come and go when they are called. Auntie told her.

"Call girl?" Xiao An is not a man, and she has never really been a wife, how can she know how to guess a man's mind, so she asked in surprise.

"That's right! Isn't that weird? "Auntie thinks it's too normal. But in Xiao An's eyes, this is indeed very unreliable.

Ah, father-in-law, he wouldn't be-

Xiao An was sad again, grieving for her mother-in-law. How can my father-in-law, an old and uncultivated person, turn his back on his relationship with his bad wife. And if he really finds true love here, he can also be blessed, isn't the twisted melon sweet, it's a big deal to comfort his mother-in-law after he goes back. The point is. Ya didn't want to settle down with anyone at all, but today with this Ming'er and that, what's the matter.

Seeing that Xiao An only frowned and didn't speak for a long time, the aunt smiled, "Oh, I know." You must be suspicious sir, right? Haha, it's not him, you misunderstood him, he's someone who hardly has that kind of mind. Hey, that's pretty much all that focus on how to extract more resources. ”

"Then he's—"

"Those girls are not what he is looking for, it is in order to calm the hearts of the people under him at the beginning, so he will occasionally find a few girls from other planets, and later found that this has no effect on promoting the work, so he will no longer look for them. Moreover, after all, those girls are all in the social field, and it is very likely that they will talk about it after they go back. Although, every time they come and go, they are picked up by someone, and their eyes are blindfolded, but who can guarantee that if they meet someone who can crack these secrets, they will not come to grab land with Mr. The aunt's tone seemed to be full of admiration for her father-in-law, and it could be seen that she was very willing to work here.

"So it's been a long time since there were no young girls here? Alas, why is my father-in-law like this, he must at least let his subordinates bring a family member, right? "It's hard for Xiao An to understand his father-in-law's mind.

"Well, I thought so at first, and I thought that the gentleman was too harsh on those boys? But after a long time, I will understand, because this is a place that is difficult for outsiders to reach, and this place is all Mr. secrets, of course, let others know. If it weren't for the fact that you are his dearest, he might not even allow you to come in! ”

The aunt continued to tell her that Xiao An felt that this father-in-law was really a great character, and he could let others follow him so desperately.

"But what if the people here say it? Did you all sign very strict terms with him when you came, or would he have let you work here with peace of mind? Xiao An asked.

"Well, of course! However, it was nothing to me because my family worked for him and we all relied on my husband. So, we don't even bother to spread Mr.'s secrets outside! What's in it for us? We just need a few families to continue living here without worrying about food and clothing. ”

The aunt continued to talk to her, and after listening for a long time, Xiao An finally understood that this aunt's husband and father-in-law used to be old comrades-in-arms, and they were rescued by their father-in-law, and since then they have been willing to follow him. Later, they found a daughter-in-law on another planet, so it is natural that their children will also serve their father-in-law when they grow up. This is probably the reason why this aunt can feel at ease and willing to work here, where the family is, home is there, even if there is no place here that looks more like home.

"What's the matter, are you going home?"

On this day, Mario had just returned from his father's place, and when he saw that Xiao Ann was bored, he asked her.

"No, I'm not in a hurry to get home." Actually, she wanted to go home a long time ago, but in order not to spoil Mario, she quickly made up a lie, "It's fun here." I haven't had enough of it. And, aren't you interested in the gold rush your dad mentioned? ”

Eh, I didn't expect this blurted out lie to be quite credible. Moreover, Xiao An only realized after saying it that he actually seemed to be really interested in this.

Of course, there is interest, but it also requires a certain amount of perseverance and wisdom. Let's dig into it, and who knows if we'll succeed? "Mario didn't have much to worry about, but seeing that Xiao An could continue to live here with him with peace of mind, he also began to be more interested in his father's career." And also. Wouldn't we be able to do more things when we have money, and it's not a bad thing to have more money anyway. He was starting to get a little excited, "but it's always risky." Are you really willing to come with me? ”

"Then what else can be risky, there are not many people who know about this place now, although some of us earthlings have detected these places, but because they have not developed a fast enough means of transportation, even if they want to reach these places, it will take a long time."

Xiao An remembered some related news, and felt that he should be more encouraged by Mario, maybe with this money, he could hire some scientific research experts in the future to help find teammates. And themselves. You can also return to the earth you have been dreaming about as soon as possible. So, she continued, "So, things are good right now. So why can't we take this opportunity to make a good profit? There are countless resources hidden in this universe, but they all require a certain amount of hard work to be developed. How can there be a pie in the sky? You can get something if you don't pay, but it's just that you get tired and think about it occasionally. We still have to take practical action. ”

"You're right, then, why don't I go back and find a few more partners? Or. Why don't you just inform our leaders about this and ask them to come over? ”

Mario may really have grown up in the gentle environment that his mother created for him since he was a child, and he may also be used to the life of ordinary people, and it is always difficult for him to enter the state that he is already a rich second generation.

Therefore, Xiao An thought he was funny, but he was embarrassed to point out immediately, "Eh! But don't do that, do you think they're here to help you? When the time comes, maybe the mining will be quick, but you don't want to get another half share! ”

When Mario heard this, he suddenly realized: "Yes, how can I trust others so much about this kind of thing?" Moreover, this kind of thing is easy to share directly with others, I'm somewhat greedy, hehe! He smirked, probably just remembering that his father had already earned a few gold mountains for himself, but he and Xiao An's philosophy was that if there were conditions, those riches and glory would still be earned by themselves. They just need Mario's father to help him in due course, and as for paving a whole road, they don't have to.

The tiger father has no dogs, and although Mario is gentle, when it comes to his career, he also has his own plans.

"What? Do you want to mine it yourself? How do you think that? ”

Mario's father is a little annoyed and surprised to learn that his son has no intention of inheriting his mantle, but he still wants to hear his son say what he thinks.

"Well, yes, but it's not that we don't want to help you with this business, it's just that we need your help to fulfill some of our dreams right now." Mario exchanged a look with Xiao An as he spoke, and Xiao An nodded at him in affirmation when he saw it. So he went on to say,

"Because I would also like to know how much I could have accomplished without your accumulation of wealth. Anyway, aren't you still in the prime of life? And with such a confidant with you, even if I want to join, it may take a while to learn management. It's better to let us go out and try it out by ourselves while everyone is motivated now, and maybe it will play a bigger role in the expansion of your empire's business! ”

Mario was right, and his father was pleased, squinting his eyes and stroking his head, saying, "Well, it's my son!" When I first saw you like that, I was worried that it would be a dou who couldn't be helped. Unexpectedly, I am really blessed with this person, my son who has not seen him for so many years, not only does not covet the country I earned, but also wants to make a career by himself. Good, good! ”

Seeing Mario's father overjoyed, one of his assistants quickly patted his ass, "Congratulations to Mr. Father and Son!" The young master is a person who can get things done! ”

Although the words of this man. It sounds a little weird, but it should be well-intentioned. So, Xiao An followed the voice and looked at the man, without thinking, under his flattering appearance. There seems to be a hint of dissatisfaction and evil hidden. But in just a moment, that expression disappeared, and I don't know if he noticed Xiao An's attention, and he immediately became a sincere blessing again.

In fact, it is also to give his father a reassurance pill first, otherwise, if Mario doesn't confess like that, it will be difficult for his father to let him go. This father-in-law is really selfish, even if he hasn't seen his son for a long time, it's not his son's fault, he has been able to go back all these years! And not strangers. You don't have to look for a needle in a haystack, why didn't you come to your son so ruthlessly back then. If you are afraid of being discovered by your wife, then you will only see your son alone, so now that the two of them are here, they are not allowed to leave. Fortunately, after hearing Mario's idea, he happily prepared everything they needed on the way. Otherwise, if this is not the case, it will be difficult for the two of them to leave this planet alone.

"Say. Actually, I'm still very unfamiliar with this place! Despite having lived here for a while, Ann was still confused about the distance he had left, "I think we need to draw a new map that works only for us!" She said this to Mario, but after that. She's stupid: drawing, that's a Ya person's specialty, where can she and Mario know?

As expected, after listening to this, Mario looked at himself with a bitter face: "Madam, do you want me to complete this masterpiece?" ”

Belch. Hey.

Xiao An had to add an embarrassed smile, "You just didn't say anything to me!" ”

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be very disappointed, the assistant of the father-in-law who came with him recommended himself: "Although these two can rest assured, I am at the level of a master in this regard, let alone this planet, that is, almost all the maps of the planets that Mr. has visited before are surveyed and mapped by me!" So you don't have to worry about it at all! ”

"Really!"

When the two of them saw that there were still people who volunteered to stand up, they naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Yes, but for the sake of precision and relevance, didn't you two say that you would draw a map that would be your own? And, as you know, the planet we're on is changing every day, and maybe when we come back, the route will be different. So, only a professional like me can master the terrain and routes that change every day! ”

Oh yes, then I'm sorry for you to draw one for us.

Both of them are foodies on this, and they can't hear such a simple flicker, the terrain may change, and it may change every minute and every second, but how can it be obvious that it will be the same every day? This assistant is purely fooling the fool, poor Xiao An and the two out of trust in others, plus this person is Mario's father's confidant, so there is no suspicion, only let him go.

After getting permission from the two of them, the man showed a strange expression, as if he was very proud, and as if he was laughing at someone.

Who to laugh at? Are we?

Mario waited for the map to be seen earlier, and didn't notice the person's expression at all, but coincidentally, this scene was seen by Xiao An again.

Well, maybe he just wanted to laugh at the two of us, because we are really two! So it's not surprising that people want to steal jokes.

She thought so, completely unaware that a danger was getting closer and closer to the two of them.

"I mean, two, this is the case, I think I'll have to tell you first," the assistant said politely, "that is, if we want to draw, we have to get out of this cockpit first, I can't draw in it, I have to go all over to make it more accurate!" ”

Well, what they said made sense, and the two quickly listened and walked down from the cabin.

"I'm going to have to walk around the neighborhood first, and I'll have to draw it for a while. After all, slow work is meticulous, but this is also so that both of you can come and go here freely in the future, you, as the heirs here, you can't even know the road here, right? ”

Okay, we trust you in whatever you do, you just go and paint, we will wait patiently.

Anyway, these days without a mother-in-law have come over, and I don't care about waiting a little longer. And. This master, he can't really paint for years, doesn't he have to go back to work for Mario's father sooner?

So, Mario and Ann began to wander around. Because the assistant said it. It shouldn't take too long, so if it's a big deal, I'll draw while walking, and I'll call them when I'm done, so the two of them are not in a hurry.

Walking like this, it seems like walking for a long time if you are not careful. The two of them are also a little strange, why hasn't the assistant finished drawing yet? Regardless of the progress, you should give the two of you a call.

"Let's go back! Maybe by the time we get back, he'll be done. Mario suggested to Ann.

Good.

But when the two of them turned around, they found that this road was different from when they came.

"Isn't it, is it really changing with each passing day? But it's not been a day, has it? If it does, I'm going to be hungry! Mario looked at the completely changed path, and then at Ann.

Well, yes, that's all that weird.

Xiao An finally realized that something was wrong. Two brows tightened.

"Xiao An, you, what's wrong?" Seeing Xiao An like this, Mario's heart was very unsteady, "Don't tell me, your sixth sense tells you that something good has happened to us!" ”

Alas, how to say it, anyway, I'm a little bit up and down right now, but this matter hasn't been implemented yet. didn't dare to say anything, that would only make the two more panicked.

"Well, it shouldn't be anything, I'm just panicking. Don't be infected by me. He didn't contact us with that assistant, but we can contact him! Are people alive, besides, this is not anywhere else, it is your father's palace! The whole planet is, what are you afraid of? She reassured Mario. I'm afraid that if even he panics, then there will be no one to make up his mind.

"That's right! Look at me, how careless! We can call him! Mario's face was much better, and he immediately took out a diamond, and when he held it to his ear, there was a busy sound.

"What's wrong, no one answered?" Seeing that Mario waited for a long time, didn't speak, and didn't hear any other sound coming from the diamond, Xiao An hurriedly asked.

"Hmm!" Mario nodded pretentiously.

"Don't worry, he may not have the phone on him, do you know that he has to concentrate on drawing, let's call him a few more times, maybe he will hear it!" Ann tries to keep Mario from worrying too much.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the other party to really answer, and the two immediately breathed a sigh of relief and cheered each other up with a smile.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, look at my brain, I don't know how to call the two of you after so long, it's my fault, don't be weird!" The other party said politely, "That's it, it's not too early, although I haven't finished today's work yet, but we always have to have dinner, we can't all be hungry!" So go back quickly, I'm still waiting for you where you were! ”

That's good, hearing such a voice, the two of them are much more down-to-earth.

"Well, let's go back!"

With that, Mario prepared to pull Xiao An to continue walking.

"Wait a minute! What a brain you have! You don't want to think about why we called him? Xiao An said to him angrily.

"Oops!" Mario patted his head, "Blame me, blame me, then I'll call him again, okay?" Only then did he remember that he was calling the other party to get the route back, but when he finally heard the other party's voice, he forgot about it because he was overjoyed.

"Hello? Oh, you can't find your way back? The other party quickly answered the phone this time, probably with the phone, or just walked away not long ago, "Impossible, I know that the terrain in this place changes a lot, and it has become very fast, but you can't just walk out for so long, and become so fast!" Could it be that you guys aren't familiar with this place yet, so you're lost? I think so, but don't worry, you guys go and see first, if you still can't come back, call me again, I'll definitely not leave this phone, and I'll think of guiding you to walk back when the time comes! ”

The other party promised so, and after hanging up the phone, the two began to try to walk back. (To be continued.) )
