Compared with the time it took Su Yichen and them to travel from the Earth to the Blue Star System more than 400 years ago, today's advanced technology has made it only take a few days for Lynch and his fleet to come to the Earth location in the solar system from the No. 7 Forward Base.

Kabakas, as a key figure in the outbreak of the two wars between the Gaia civilization and the earth civilization, coupled with the mysterious reminder back then, and now the arrival of Kabacas, who fled from the Gaia civilization to the solar system, has attracted the attention of the high-level and military leaders of the entire Earth Federation.

When Lynch's spaceship slowly landed at the airport, the area where they landed had been placed under martial law by an army, and they were greeted not only by the President of the Federation, but also by the Solar System Defense Committee and several military leaders of the Space Fleet.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Lin!" Mr. President first shook hands with Lynch, who was the first to step off the spaceship, and then turned his gaze behind Lynch, at this time Kabakas stepped off the spaceship in a relaxed manner, looking at the high-ranking personnel of the earthlings who came to greet him, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hello, Mr. Kabakas, welcome." Mr. President and several generals greeted the general and welcomed the guests of the earth with a spring breeze on their faces.

"Thank you very much, Mr. President, and the generals for greeting me, I'm just a small person, isn't this scene too grand?" Kabakas smiled and shook hands with each other, and asked with a smile as he looked at the soldiers in the distance.

"You are our friend, and you deserve such a ceremony." Mr. President replied in the same light-hearted tone, and then invited him to his flying car on the grounds that he was tired from the journey, and then the group quickly left the airport with the departure of Mr. President and the generals. The soldiers under martial law also withdrew, and only Lynch and his lieutenant were left in the bustling airport just now.

"General Lin, please come with me." A major came up to Lynch and saluted Lynch.

Lynch saluted him back, and without asking much, followed him into an oncoming flying car, and then left the airport as well.

A few days later. Lynch's promotion was completed on Earth, and with the completion of the promotion, he also moved from the rank of colonel to the rank of general, becoming a senior officer in the federal military. According to Lynch's previous plan, he was going to transfer directly from the active force to the joint exploration agency, and then go to the Andromeda galaxy through the wormhole location. But now because of Kabakas, Lynch's transfer has been temporarily shelved, and the superiors have neither approved nor vetoed it, but temporarily shelved the matter, which has led to Lynch, who has been promoted to brigadier general, instead becoming a general who has no position for the time being.

Except for this case. Lynch's personal activities were not restricted in any way, and the higher authorities only asked him to wait for orders on Earth for the time being, and he would not ask what Lynch was doing on weekdays or where he was going. After staying in the dormitory of the federal military department for a few days, Lynch, who felt bored, was a little stunned, so he called a report and asked to go around, and this request was quickly agreed, and Lynch moved out of the dormitory directly. I changed into civilian clothes and went to another city more than 500 kilometers away.

It is a seaside city in the southeast of the Asian continent. Before the First War to Defend the Earth, it was known as the Pearl of the Orient and was once the world's most famous free port and financial center. However, with the outbreak of the war, the flowery metropolis was completely destroyed, and now the city has been rebuilt after the war, but both the structure of the city and the significance of the region are much less than before. Now this place is just a city with a comfortable climate and a good place to live.

The climate change in the south is relatively small, and it is almost spring-like all year round, coupled with the proximity to the sea and mountainous terrain, the Pearl of the Orient has lost its former financial status over time. But it's still a great city. Especially some old people who are old and like nostalgia, they are often reluctant to leave the earth, and they can't stand the northern climate with four distinct seasons, and many people like to move their families to live in this city. The reason why Lynch chose to come to this city is also very simple, because his grandfather Lin Huai lived here.

Lynch hadn't been here for years, and although he had been in constant contact with his grandfather through three-dimensional communications, the last time he was here was 20 years ago, when he hadn't been back to Earth since he became commander of Forward Base 7, and had been in the distant Oort Nebula. And now, coming to the city after 20 years, Lynch finds that it has not changed much, except for some minor differences, the rest is basically the same as he remembers.

The car stopped at a berth on the street, and Lynch knew that his grandfather didn't like to drive directly into the house, so after parking the car, he took out a few gifts from the car and walked towards the villa in the middle of the mountains not far away.

He came alone, and the adjutant did not follow, because for Lynch it was a homecoming today. The mountain road slowly faces upward, and the surrounding woods are occasionally filled with the sound of crisp birdsong, and on his left hand side, the view is a sea, the blue ocean is like a beautiful jewel in the half-moon bay harbor below, the waves crash on the reef, the seabirds soar in the sky, the breeze caresses the face, which is refreshing.

A few steps to the front of the villa, the courtyard door outside the villa is open, entering the door is a flower garden, a middle-aged man is taking care of these flowers and plants, Lynch entered the door and greeted the middle-aged man: "Chamber!" ”

Hearing the voice and looking back, Qian Bo saw Lynch in civilian clothes at a glance, and then laughed: "Who did I say, the voice sounds familiar, it turns out to be Xiao Qi, when did you come back?" Come and see grandpa? ”

"Just a few days after I came back, Chamber, how are you doing?" Lynch politely asked Chamber, although Chambers was a gardener from his grandfather's family, in fact, Chambers was also a soldier and served in the space fleet. However, Chambers was seriously injured in an accident and became physically disabled, and although his body was repaired with current technology, the repaired body was no longer suitable for further service.

After the passage of time, Qian Bo taught himself to become a gardener, and later was hired by Lin Huai to help take care of the family's flowers and plants, which he did for decades. Therefore, the relationship between Chambers and the Lin family is not only that of an employer and an employee. It's still a relationship between friends, Lynch has known Chambers since he was a child, and it can be said that he almost grew up watching Chambers.

"I'm in good health, look, this muscle is no worse than you young people." Chamberle chuckled. He also rolled up his sleeves and shiny the muscles on his arms. Lynch smiled when he saw this scene, and complimented Uncle Chamber, but he knew that Uncle Qian looked like a middle-aged man when he didn't look at him, but in fact, Uncle Chambers was already in his 80s.

took out the prepared gifts, and of course Lynch brought the gifts for Chambers. Chambers accepted the gift with a smile, and then casually asked Lynch a few words, when he learned that Lynch had been promoted to brigadier general, Chambers praised him very happily, and said with emotion that if he hadn't retired due to an accident, maybe he would have had a chance to become a general.

I chatted with Qian Bo for a while. Lynch's gaze glanced in the direction of the villa: "Chamber, where's my grandfather?" I remember that when you take care of these flowers and plants, his old man likes to do it with you, why haven't you seen anyone else today? ”

"Hehe, there are guests at home, and Lao Lin is entertaining guests, so I'm alone in the garden." Qian Bo said with a smile, and then pointed to the villa and said, "Okay, don't talk to me about anything." I've got to get this done as soon as possible, so go ahead. I haven't had time to come back all these years, but I think Lao Lin is bad, and he doesn't know how happy he is to see you. ”

Lynch smiled and nodded, said hello to Chamber, and walked in the direction of the villa, and a few minutes later Lynch entered the house, and he didn't see his grandfather Lin Huai. I heard his old man's hearty laughter coming from the direction of the living room on the left side of the first floor.

"Grandpa! I've come to see you! Lynch shouted in the direction of the living room, followed by footsteps, and an old man with gray hair came from the living room.

"Haha, I said that the joy sparrow at the door of the house today is always calling, it turns out that my eldest grandson is back. Come on, come on. Come to Grandpa's side, and let me take a good look at you. ”

"Grandpa, grandson wishes you good health and a long smile." Knowing his grandfather's character, Lynch smiled and rushed forward as he did when he was a child.

"Good, good! It's good to see you and me, hahaha! Lin Huai was so happy to see Lynch that he looked left and right at this eldest grandson who had not been seen for a long time, although Lin Ji had many children and grandchildren, but for Lynch, who grew up by his side since he was a child, he was Lin Huai's favorite one, and he was also the one he loved and cared about the most.

Although the grandfather and grandson met through the three-dimensional pass, no matter how busy Lynch was at the base on the 7th, he would always find time to greet his grandfather and chat with his old man. But even so, a three-dimensional call is not as good as a face-to-face meeting, and seeing his grandson standing in front of him, Lin Huai was happy in his heart.

The grandfather and grandson just stood and chatted, and they also forgot about the guests in the living room, until after chatting a few words, Lin Qi asked, Lin Huai patted his forehead: "I almost forgot, there are distinguished guests here today, you see, as soon as I saw you, I actually left the guests in the living room." ”

"Guest?" Lin Qi was suddenly a little curious, his grandfather was not an ordinary person, he used to be a senior technical officer of the Space Fleet before he retired, and Lin Huai was still a lieutenant general only in terms of military rank. As a grandfather, he actually said that a distinguished guest came to the door, could it be that the big man in the army came to the house?

"Distinguished guest, speaking of which are also elders, it just so happens that you came here today, grandpa will take you to meet them." As he spoke, Lin Huai beckoned Lynch to the living room, and along the way, Lynch was even more puzzled, distinguished guest or elder? Could it really be that some bigwig in the army came to his own home?

But when they came to the living room, Lynch was surprised to find that there were actually two young men and women sitting in the living room, this pair of men and women did not look very old, and from the position and posture they were sitting in, it was a couple, what surprised Lynch even more was not only this, when he saw each other's faces clearly, he was stunned, because he actually knew each other.

"Xiaolin, who is this ......?" Seeing Lynch and them come in, the couple stood up, and the man in the middle asked with a smile.

"Kobayashi?" This word made Lynch stunned again, and at the same time felt very uncomfortable, his grandfather was an elder, and this young man actually called his grandfather like this, which was a bit excessive. But before he could ask, Lin Huai didn't mind laughing at all: "This is my grandson Lynch, how about it?" A talent, right? has just been promoted to brigadier general, and the future of our Lin family will depend on him in the future. ”

As he spoke, Lin Huaibian smiled happily and reached out to pat Lynch's shoulder hard.

"Yes, yes, young and talented, being promoted to brigadier general at this age is indeed promising." The young man looked at Lynch and nodded with a smile, but his tone made Lynch very uncomfortable to hear, didn't this man's words mean that he put himself in the position of an elder?

"Congratulations Xiaolin, the Lin family has such descendants, we are really happy for you." But immediately afterwards, the beautiful woman also said a word, which made Lynch even more depressed. On the contrary, Lin Huai laughed happily, and seemed to be very happy with such praise.

"Hey! Look at my memory. After laughing for a while, Lin Huai patted his forehead again, and turned to Lynch: "Why are you kid standing stupidly, shouting people!" ”

"Shouting...... Shouting people? ”

"Shouting! Shout Grandpa Su Grandma Luo, shout! Lin Huai saw that Lynch was a little in a daze, and said bluntly.

"Grandpa Su? Grandma Luo? Lynch looked at the two young men dumbfounded, could it be that his grandfather was old and confused? Or are these two young people really their own elders? But that's not right! I knew them, but weren't they two of the few people who met the spaceship in space when I was just serving as the commander of Forward Base 7? Nearly 20 years have passed, and their faces have not changed much, Lynch's memory is very good, and he recognized each other at a glance, but when did these two become the guests of their own family, and what did Grandpa Su and Grandma Luo become? What's going on?

Seeing that Lin Qi was stunned but never shouted, Lin Huai's eyebrows were raised, and he suddenly became a little angry, and when he was about to reprimand the child, Su Yichen laughed: "Okay, okay, Xiaolin, we don't look much older than him, it's normal for a child to not be able to shout, let's talk about it......." ”

"How can this be!" Lin Huai suddenly said hurriedly: "I don't care if others say this, but our Lin family is absolutely not good, if you really want to talk about it, I have to call you grandpa, you and Luo Lao were good friends of my grandfather back then, this generation is iron, and it can't be changed, it's good if I don't let this kid call you and Luo Lao Ancestor today."
