Chapter 15: This Is His Dad?
Xiao An felt that he couldn't make the decision on this matter, and he should discuss it with Mario, so he told him about it after he got off work.
"So you've been working on this all this time?"
He was very touched to learn that Xiao An had been working hard to find his father.
"Still, I'm wondering about it now, who is the person you're talking to? You must know that my dad has been missing for so many years, and even if he is always by our side, he is just a very ordinary person, he does not pose a threat to others, and he will not bring any benefit to others. Mario asked Ann a question as he muttered to himself. He couldn't figure out who would have remembered him Mario and had a father after all this time, and this person seemed to be very concerned about his father's affairs.
So, what would be the purpose of this person?
Neither of them understands it yet.
But you can't ask others because of this, and if you ask, they won't necessarily be clear. Mother-in-law's words, then she can't ask, first, she may not know, and second, if she knows, maybe she will be very excited, so she may miss the matter of the two.
"Remember, Xiao An, you must not let your mother know about this! All these years, she has been living by the illusion that my dad is still alive, in case, this time this person really has the exact news of my dad, and this is bad news, I am really afraid that she will not be able to stand it! Mario told her.
"Well, I understand. Do you want to get in touch with that person now? We'll have to get in touch with him before we can continue to inquire about Daddy's whereabouts! Xiao An asked him.
So, the two quickly logged on to the network again, waiting for each other to appear.
Sure enough, the other party seemed to want an answer more than they did, and it appeared in time.
"What's the matter, you told me you need some time to confirm, why did it take so long?"
After almost a day of waiting, the other party was very dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry because it's something that's important to us. We have to be cautious, please understand! Mario told the man.
"Okay, now you can tell your identity, because we have to be responsible for the safety of the person concerned!"
Well. The other party actually said this, isn't Mario's father safe now? Will anyone threaten him? Or are they simply concerned about his safety, and this so-called danger is actually referring to us?
Mario and Ann looked at each other, thinking it was funny. It's kind of incredible.
"I beg your pardon for our speculation," Mario replied politely, "we didn't mean to do that, but it seems like you're close to the gentleman you mentioned, right?" Are you referring to his safety in exchange for money or something? β
What Mario means is that since this person has taken the initiative to find them, there must be something that will show up. And now listening to his tone, it is somewhat unfriendly, and eighty percent should not have come to him because of any good thing.
"What? Money? Are you rich? Why, do you think I came to you because of the money? β
The other party was even more dissatisfied. But it is also more certain that both sides now know little about each other, although the other party took the initiative to find him, he doesn't seem to have much information about Xiao An and others.
"So, are youβ" Mario asked.
"It's very simple, we just found out that a woman named Xiao An has been looking for our husband for a while, worried about his safety, so I contacted you. Because this woman doesn't seem to have any malice, but she has always been mysterious. Just ask. Otherwise, we have a good chance of kidnapping her directly! The other party said.
Our sir?
This is how this man calls Mario's father, is he saying that Mario's father has already been freed?
"Wait a minute. This gentleman, are you telling us that the gentleman you are going to protect, that he has long since been freed from those previous battles? As far as I know, hasn't he been held captive by the people of the local planet all along? Are you telling us that he has already been released? Mario asked, a little excited, as if he had a hunch. It seems that meeting my father about this is no longer a dream.
When the time comes, let alone yourself, even your mother can be reunited with your father, what a wonderful thing it will be.
Xiao An saw his expectant expression, and hoped that the person on the other end of the network would bring them good news.
Sure enough, the other party quickly replied, "Yes, how many years have passed, he is just an ordinary soldier, and he doesn't have many secrets, why keep him." Not long after their army returned, the people of that planet released him. But how do you know these things? He's just an ordinary person, does he have anything to do with you? β
This person seems to want to protect Mario's father, which invisibly makes Mario even more excited, and he can almost confirm that his father is definitely still alive in this world.
"I don't know your true identity yet, but I bet you're not a bad person, at least not in any way to my father!" Mario said excitedly.
"What? You're saying you're his son? Is it the old gentleman's only son on the South Pole? The other party was obviously surprised, didn't he think that sooner or later there would be such a day?
Xiao An thinks this person is incredible, since he is very familiar with Mario's father, he should also know more about his family affairs. How could he care so much about his safety, but he didn't think that his family was also looking for him all the time? Oh yes, what are you looking for, over the years, Mario's mother and son have actually not moved, so when Xiao An goes out in person, the people around his father will be a little nervous. After all, he shouldn't have heard of Xiao An before, and he didn't know what her origin was.
However, what the man said next was more credible, and it also explained why he knew about some things and not so much about others. He is actually the one who works for Mario's father, so of course it is inconvenient to ask more about the leader's family affairs, unless Mario's father takes the initiative to mention it, otherwise, where can outsiders inquire.
"Well, I would like to ask now, has my father returned to Antarctica? Or, is he still on those planets? Mario asked, but even if the answer was the latter. He shouldn't be too disappointed. At least I know that my father is still alive, and it doesn't matter where he is, he has grown up as a son, as long as he takes a leave of absence from the unit. You can take your father home at any time. And my father, who has been separated for a long time, must have wanted to go home for a long time.
"No, he's not on Antarctica, so when I found out that the lady among you was looking for him, he sent me to inquire first. But I didn't expect that. You're his son, and that's a bonus! The other party replied happily, but in fact, for Mario and them, this is not a harvest worth celebrating.
Without further ado, after getting their father's address, the two were ready to leave in time. Mario asked for leave from the unit, lied to his mother, and set off with Xiao An.
It's just that this road is far away, and the two are worried that the funds will not be enough. Fortunately, the other party learned about their difficulties and helped them in time. You're welcome, too, because the money was provided by Mario's father.
So, the two of them were even more excited: Why, haven't I seen him all these years, and his father is still a better mix?
I thought that I should be able to see my father when I arrived at the designated place in the place, but I didn't expect that the location where the two of them arrived was just a transit station, and there was still a longer way to go. However, Mario's father has also sent people to arrange it, and specially found a spaceship to pick up the two. After spending some time in the spaceship, the two finally landed on a strange planet, where there was a sign with strange words on it, and the person who piloted the spaceship told them. This planet is called the Diamond Planet.
"Mario, what do you think your dad is going to do now? Why does he have so much power? You know, if this is in our South Pole Star, at least there must be a very high-level talent who will have this treatment to travel in space for so long in a spaceship! Xiao An asked Mario in a low voice with envy.
This made him feel extremely bright, and he replied excitedly. "I don't know, but as long as he's alive and healthy, I'm happier than anything else!"
Well, I guess that's for sure, doesn't it mean that there were no casualties in the battle that year? No, his father didn't want to go home because he was injured, for fear that his family would be sad.
After the two got off the spaceship, they were guided to the land vehicle. Xiao An only understands a little now, at first she saw that the ID of the person who took the initiative to contact them was called Planet Diamond, she didn't understand what it meant, and that person's IP address was also very strange, it was an address that Antarctic Star did not have at all, and it was unheard of before, it was a network address that was not available on several planets around Antarctica Star. So, at the time, she and Mario were somewhat wary of this. Unexpectedly, this "planetary diamond" and his IP address are actually real, and it is the planet that he has arrived at now, which is really unbelievable.
I felt a little stunned by happiness.
That's right, even though this is not his father, Xiao An has been looking hard for so long, but he is really happier than Mario. Moreover, she now has an extravagant hope, that is, since Mario's father, that is, her father-in-law, is so capable, can he also help him find his long-lost teammates? Or even send us all home?
When he thought of home, Xiao An was even more excited. If Mario's family can be reunited this time, will he be able to go back to see his parents sooner? You know, they've seen me for a long time, even if it's been a long time since I've been online. Although, Mario promised me that he could help with the video contact, but what was the use? I want to be able to really go back to Earth, otherwise, even if I can see my parents on TV every day, will I have to rely on these to survive for the rest of my life? Do you want my parents to see me only through video contact for the rest of their lives? Isn't our family too pitiful?
Therefore, before the guests met their father-in-law, Xiao An thought that he must leave a good impression on the old gentleman, so that he could help him realize his wish.
After a long time, both of them began to wonder, why hadn't they arrived yet? Have we been fooled? With this in mind, the two of them were guided to get off the vehicle and into a diamond formation.
Could it be that his dad lives here?
Xiao An frowned and thought, incredible, too incredible, everything here is unexpected.
In the past, she always thought that Europe was a very good place on earth, although the area was not large, but the rate of greening was very high. And for whatever reason, there are a lot of museums there anyway. There are also many treasures, so it can be said that it is a relatively rich area as a whole. Yes, after all, is that a gift from Mr. Zeus to his lover? The gods will not be too stingy when they make a move.
When she arrived at Antarctica, she opened her eyes again, and felt that compared to here, the earth was really just a speck of dust. But to the planet of diamonds. Although the territory is not very large, its wealth accumulation is not to be underestimated, and almost every piece of land is studded with diamonds, leaving only the necessary area for farmland.
Well, that's it, didn't the Son of Heaven also say that no matter how good the money is, if you can't use it to fill your stomach, what's the use?
But, if not at all. It's also a no-no.
So, even though they knew that these diamonds could neither be eaten nor used as skin care products for maintenance, Xiao An and Mario were still extremely excited when they saw them, as if they had already belonged to them.
It's a pity that my mother-in-law didn't come with her, and if she did, she would have gone crazy. However, it is also possible. When she saw so many beautiful and large diamonds, she fainted with happiness.
Hey.
Xiao An secretly laughed in his heart.
Stepping on the diamond-paved road, Xiao An was in a trance. She remembered that when she was in China before, she was just an ordinary clerk in the archives department. But some of my colleagues wear nearly 10,000 high heels to work every day, and they are joked that they are stepping on gold to work. Now, although I am not wearing shoes made of diamonds, I am more proud and majestic than that: I have stepped on these sparkling diamonds directly under my feet! It's a bit dazzling, but it's still very intoxicating.
Finally. After walking around the diamond array for a while, the two of them came across a huge diamond, and they were told that it was where Mario's father lived temporarily, and asked them to go in with them.
This huge diamond house was originally suspended on the ground, but because neither of them knew how to fly here, they specially lowered a ladder for them, and the two of them went up step by step, and finally entered this diamond house.
From the outside, this diamond house is transparent, and at first Xiao An was worried that such a residence would not be easy to protect**. But when I got closer, I realized that this was a real huge diamond transformation. Because of the multiple facets unique to diamonds, even if the house is transparent from the outside, because of the overlap of each facet, it will dazzle the viewer outside, but the ** in the house will not be leaked in the slightest.
It's good to be alive.
These are the words that Xiao An has sighed countless times since he was born, and now he is sighing here again. Therefore, every time she makes such an emotion, she thinks that the hardships and dangers she has experienced before are worth it, and compared with the good things she has received, those bad things are really not worth mentioning.
Is that really the case? Or maybe it's not so rosy. But Xiao An is a person who is always optimistic in the midst of pessimism, or rather, it is the gratitude she has gradually cultivated through these adventures that makes it easier for her to obtain the source of happiness.
That's right, how can anyone be born with the knowledge of joy in suffering.
The Diamond House wasn't very big, so not long after being brought in, the two met Mario's father as they wished.
Of course, the relatives had tears in their eyes and complained to each other, Xiao An watched their father and son recognize each other on the side, and felt that the scene was strange and uncomfortable, which made her even more homesick. So I asked the messenger to take her to another room to watch and rest, and when they were tired of talking, it would not be too late to go to them.
During this period, Xiao An also had a good understanding of his father-in-law's family history with the envoy here. It turned out that he was indeed imprisoned after the end of the war, but he was released not long after. When I came out, I wanted to go home, but I forgot how to go home, and even if I knew that I was penniless, it would be difficult to go back. He had no choice but to think about surviving on that planet, and for this, he also suffered a lot.
But my father-in-law is also a very caring person, and he is very good at observing words and feelings, and soon he mixed well on the alien planet, and even gradually accumulated a sum of money, so that he could not work so hard anymore. At the same time, he began to be involved in gold mining and mining affairs, but this was a taboo and sensitive matter on the planet where he was held in the first place. So, he began to explore other planets that were more suitable for mining and undiscovered, and once he found them, he immediately went to occupy them. And the so-called occupation is just to be the first person to suffer there, so it didn't take long for him to accumulate wealth more and more easily because there were no competitors, and he soon became an upstart with several planets.
In that case, wouldn't Mario become a veritable rich second generation?
Thinking of this, Xiao An was very happy for him, he could finally buy a better house for his mother. Oh no, it's not just "a set" and "a little better", no matter how good it is, it can't be difficult for his capable father. When the time comes, let alone Mario, even he himself should buy more for his beloved wife.
However, the reality is completely different from what Xiao An thought.
"Dad, even if it's for me, you should always go back, right?"
After the sweet father-son recognition session, Mario's father actually made it clear to him that he did not plan to go back, which surprised both of them.
"You kid is so annoying, you're already married, do you still need me by your side?" My father-in-law looked impatient, "Also, I thought you would have something warm and surprise for me." The result? Look at what kind of daughter-in-law you are looking for yourself? The appearance has no bright spots at all, and he is still an earthling. Simply, you, just replace her, anyway, Dad has money now, if you really want to be with me, then come with me to pan for gold, and Dad will find you a better one when the time comes! β
No-yes--right?
I really didn't expect Mario's father to be so out of tune, this age, and the words he said were so annoying, I really don't understand how his mother tolerated him, and his father still said that he refused to come home because he didn't want to put up with his mother. Alas, I really don't know who is putting up with whom.
It's rare that Mario himself can be so benevolent and assertive.
"Well, since you don't want to go home now, then I won't force you." Mario said to his father, "But, in case, if my mother came by herself, would you still hide?" β
"Huh?!"
He didn't expect this, "She probably won't come unless you bring her." I'm free on my own, I have a lot of money to spend, and I don't need a wife to help me with all this. Because I have money, I can find someone to take care of all the housework for me, with her or not, life is the same. With her, it's a blockage for me, and I don't want to live the days of arguing with her all day long! β
It seems that this father-in-law is quite stubborn, so forget it, let's follow his wishes first and let him live the life he wants. However, for people of this age, is freedom really that important?
Don't they all say that they are old companions? Although they haven't reached that old yet, they should never get tired of looking at each other, why are people who are so ambitious in their careers so naΓ―ve and unwilling to be honest and responsible emotionally?
Didn't this father-in-law think about how difficult it was for his mother-in-law to lead Mario by herself? It is really a share of hardships, but he is stingy to share his own glory.
However, if you really look at the problem from the perspective of your father-in-law, his psychology is not difficult to understand, because her mother-in-law has indeed grown older over the years, and her desire to control has become stronger and stronger.
But people always change, why don't they give each other a chance? Isn't it so nice to live together?
Mario was devastated by this, he didn't want his good family to be like this, and he couldn't understand how his father, who he had finally met, would be like this, stubborn and stubborn.
So in the end, even Mario's father looked down on Xiao An at first, but he thought that it was his son's own choice inside and out, so he would go. He welcomed his son to enjoy his material possessions on his planet, but for a moment he refused to return to Antarctica. (To be continued.) )
