Chapter 479: The World Is Small

"Look, who is this? My little swallow is back, my dearest ....... The old woman put down the barrel in her hand, and her hearty laughter was filled with undisguised kindness, and when she opened her hands, Anfia fell into her arms like a homecoming bird.

"I love your grandmother!"

"I love you too, baby, let my grandmother take a good look at my little swallow, tsk, it's more beautiful!" The old woman took Anfia's face and kissed her hard, laughter echoing around like a string of silver bells.

Looking at this warm scene, Su Zhe stood not far from them with a smile. It can be seen that Anfia has an excellent relationship with her grandmother, and it is no wonder that Anfia said before they came that she grew up with her great-grandfather and grandmother, and since the death of her great-grandfather, the person closest to her is her grandmother.

After talking a few words to her grandmother and hugging and kissing each other several times, Anfia introduced Su Zhe to her grandmother.

"This is Su Zhe, my friend ......." When she said this, Anfia's expression was a little shy, and the old grandmother looked at Su Zhe with a smile, and then looked at the little granddaughter beside her, and naturally understood what was going on.

"You are welcome, my child." Just like her little granddaughter, the old grandmother opened her arms and hugged Su Zhe hard, and kissed him a few times on the cheek at the same time. This is a unique etiquette of their nation, and Su Zhe, who grew up in Europe, is naturally no stranger, and kissed his face with the same enthusiasm, and at the same time sent blessings to his grandmother.

"Kids, come in! I'll give you a taste of your grandmother's handiwork. The old grandmother warmly beckoned them into the house, and Su Zhe followed Anfia into the cabin, which was not large, slightly smaller than his home in Europe, and because of his habits. There are very few modern facilities in the house, and most of them are very ordinary daily necessities or something.

However, the room is very clean, coupled with the orderly arrangement, and all the living things, it makes people feel very warm and homely.

"Kids. What do you want to drink while sitting casually? Wine? Kvass or ......? ”

"I want to drink Comport." Anfia said.

"Absolutely." The old grandmother patted Anfiya's face nicknamely, and then set her eyes on Su Zhe.

"I'll drink Compot, thank you, too." Su Zhe didn't know what Compoter was, but since Anfia had already said it, it was better to drink the same thing to avoid trouble with the old grandmother. The old grandmother smiled and nodded in agreement, then got up and walked in the direction of the kitchen, and soon, two black glasses. Something with a strong fruit and sweet flavor was served.

Su Zhe got up and took it, and at the same time said thank you, and then saw that Anfia couldn't wait to take a drink, and then took a small spoon and dug the fruit inside to eat, looking very enjoyable. Following Anfiya's example, Su Zhe also took a sip, but who would have thought that he would almost be spit out after taking a bite, the sweetness of this Comport is really terrible. When you drink it in your mouth, it's almost like drinking a jar of sugar water directly into it, and the greasy and scary sweetness has a fruity and somewhat fermented taste. These flavors were mixed together, and Su Zhe, who had never tasted this kind of taste, was extremely uncomfortable.

"How? Would you like to exchange it for something else? The old grandmother noticed Su Zhe's expression and asked kindly.

"Thanks, no need, I'll just get used to it." Su Zhe refused the kindness of his grandmother, and it was very rude for the owner to replace the things he ordered. Su Zhe got used to it a little. Then he took another small sip, and then took a small spoon and put a blueberry in his mouth, and when he ate a few bites, his taste began to gradually adjust to the thing, and he tasted its unique flavor. It's not as fond of it as Anfia, but at least it's not as uncomfortable as it was at first.

A few minutes later, the cup of Compot was eaten by Su Zhe, and he smiled and put the empty cup back on the coffee table: "It's really a good thing, I was not used to it at first, but after getting used to it, I felt that it was special, and its rich taste was as undisguised as your enthusiasm." ”

Su Zhe's praise made the old grandmother's eyes smile with joy: "It's a good boy, the old grandmother likes a young man like you!" Little Swallow, you have a good eye. ”

"Grandmother......."

"Hahaha......!"

The cheerfulness and enthusiasm of the old grandmother made Su Zhe's apprehension at the beginning gradually disappear, and the three of them sat in the living room and chatted casually, although the topic of conversation was only a short topic among parents, but the atmosphere was very harmonious. After chatting for a while, the old grandmother asked Su Zhe and Anfia to sit back first, and she was going to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Anfiya got up and said that she was going to help, and the old grandmother did not refuse, but when Su Zhe was also going to help, the old grandmother was very resolute against it, in her opinion, men were not allowed to enter the kitchen, the kitchen was where women worked, and men's careers were outside the house.

Anfia followed the old grandmother to the kitchen to be busy, Su Zhe, who was sitting in the living room with nothing to do, was a little bored, he sat for a while, looked left and right, and when he saw many old photos on one wall of the living room, Su Zhe stood up and walked over there.

Photographs were invented during the industrial age of human society, and in the late industrial age, the original film shooting has been replaced by digital photography, but at that time, although the storage method of photos has changed from the beginning to data storage, there are still many people who will directly print out the photos and put them at home, or in the office as decoration and souvenir.

This habit is still preserved to this day, although the earth civilization has already entered the cosmic civilization, the leap of three-dimensional technology makes it particularly convenient to retain and preview image data, but many people will print it out in the earliest way and put it in a photo frame.

Anfiya's family is such a traditional person, in fact, Su Zhe is no stranger to this tradition, because his parents Su Yichen and his wife also have such a tradition, when he was a child, he saw his parents hide some old photos like treasures, and take them out from time to time to see. It's just that Su Zhe was still young at that time, and besides, he wasn't very interested in this kind of thing, and he didn't carefully study the photos saved by his parents.

But now the situation is different, the things that Su Li and Gao Jian told him made Su Zhe completely subvert his previous imagination of his parents, and seeing these photos of Anfiya's home at this moment, he naturally thought of the old photos saved by his parents. He almost forgot about it. It seems that they are going to go home and look for it, although they are far away from the solar system, the photos should still be at home in Europe.

Anfia's grandmother was an old man, and Anfia's great-grandfather had lived in the area before, and their habits were similar to those of their own parents. Su Zhe thought so in his heart and walked to the wall. I looked at the photos with great interest, they were large and small, and the people in them were different, including men, women, old people, children, .......

In one of the photos, Su Zhe saw a little girl swinging on a swing, and the little girl was standing on the swing. Swinging high, his face is full of happy smiles, and his mouth is wide open, as if he is shouting higher! Higher! It also seems to be laughing as crisp as a silver bell.

The person who took the picture is very skilled, and although the photo is still, you can feel the emotion and joy of the time in the photo. And this little girl Su Zhe also recognized it at a glance, she should be Anfiya when she was young, because not only is the appearance of the little girl very similar to the current Anfiya. What's more, there is also a line of kid underneath this photo that reads "Amphia swinging".

I don't know who took this photo. Maybe it's Anfia's great-grandfather, maybe it's her old grandmother, or maybe it's her parents or grandfather's ....... Among the photos on the wall, there are only three of Anfia's, one is a photo of Swinging Ball Qian, and the other is a photo with an old man. The old man smiled kindly, and Anfia, about twelve or thirteen years old, stood beside him, their eyes looking at the camera, and their backs vaguely looked like the garden in front of the cabin.

Su Zhe didn't know who this old man was, but he guessed that it was probably Anfiya's great-grandfather. But I don't know why, seeing the old man in the photo, Su Zhe felt a little familiar, but he forgot where he had seen it. But after thinking about it, Su Zhe laughed dumbly again, since it was Anfiya's family and elders, it was natural for her face to look a little similar to Anfiya.

The last photo was taken by Anfiya at the military academy, at this time Anfiya was already a big girl, she was slim and dressed in a cadet uniform without epaulettes, and she looked very heroic. When the photo was taken, she should have just entered the military academy, and Su Zhe, who had stayed in the barracks, could still see this. When he saw this photo, he naturally remembered that he was thrown into the military camp by his father Su Yichen for a whole year, Su Zhe was very dissatisfied with his father's approach, and even complained a little, but after a long time, he gradually understood his father's good intentions, his father did this for his good, it was a kind of ordeal for his future life path, and only after experiencing this, Su Zhe would have today's achievements.

Speaking of which, Su Zhe was able to be with Anfiya thanks to the life he had in the military camp, and it was precisely because of this experience that he and Anfiya had more common language. Thinking of this, Su Zhe's heart couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, his thoughts about his parents became stronger and stronger.

Then look down, some of the people in the photos behind Su Zhe don't know most, except for the old grandmother who has just met, the rest of the men who appear in the photos are young and old. However, there is one thing in common, that is, most of these men are wearing military uniforms, and they seem to be of a high rank, and there is a middle-aged man who is especially imagined by Anfiya and even has the rank of lieutenant general, maybe he is Anfia's father.

Su Zhe didn't know about Anfiya's family, not to mention that the current era is not an era that pays attention to family background, as a scientist of the Federal Academy of Sciences, especially Su Zhe, who now has an independent laboratory, what family is not worthy of just his current identity?

Judging from the photos, Anfia should be from a military family, and most of the members of the family are military, no wonder she will also be a military colonel, and become the captain of a frigate, it turns out that she is from a military family.

Looking at these, Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh, at this time he suddenly thought of something, his eyes returned to the second photo of Anfia, and then stared at the old man in the photo carefully.

After looking at it for a while, Su Zhe frowned slightly, he always felt that this old man was familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. However, it can be inferred from the photos of those soldiers that this old man should also be a soldier, because his sitting posture has a unique posture of a soldier.

"Tetsu, what are you looking at?"

At this moment, Anfiya's voice came from behind him, and Su Zhe looked back and saw that she had just come out of the kitchen with a pot of beetroot soup. Su Zhe hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Anfiya refused, so Su Zhe had to help her take a cushion and put it on the table, watching her put the soup pot on it.

"I'm looking at the pictures on the wall, you were so cute when you were a kid." Su Zhe pointed to the wall and smiled.

Anfia glanced in the direction of his finger and immediately smiled, "It's the picture of swinging, right?" It was taken by my great-grandfather when I was five years old, and you know, I grew up with my great-grandfather and grandmother, and that's what I love the most. ”

"And ...... your grandfather and parents?"

Su Zhe asked hesitantly.

Anfia took Su Zhe's hand and continued to the wall, pointing to a few photos to introduce him to the people in the photos. Anfia's grandfather died early, he died in the second war between Gaia civilization and Earth civilization, so there is only a vague group photo of him in the photo, and Anfia was not born at that time, so there is no appearance of him in my impression.

And Anfia's father is the soldier with the rank of lieutenant general, he is now the main fleet commander of the space fleet, including her mother is also an officer in the logistics of the army, they are very busy with their work, they rarely return to Earth, usually either on missions in the universe, or on the moon or Mars base, or on the Oort nebula.

Anfia also has an older brother, he is also an officer, and now he is the commander of the base escort fleet at Pluto Base, and his work is also so that they are rarely able to meet, and everyone usually communicates through the brain terminal, and it is basically impossible to gather together like ordinary people.

"This is my great-grandfather." In the end, Anfia pointed to the group photo and said, it seems that Su Zhe guessed correctly, this old man is her great-grandfather, but Su Zhe still didn't remember who this old man was, and couldn't help but ask, Anfiya hesitated, and then replied: "My great-grandfather's name is Ivan......." ”

"Ivan? Starry Ivan? Su Zhe suddenly remembered who he was, and immediately blurted out. (To be continued.) )
