After parking the car, before I reached the gate, I heard a burst of hearty laughter from the house. This voice was definitely not from his parents, nor was it the unfamiliar voice of an old man of some age, nor was it the unfamiliar voice of those parents in the university that Su Zhe was familiar with.

Pushing the door in, I saw four people sitting in the living room downstairs, two of them were Su Zhe's parents, and the other two were soldiers in military uniforms, Su Zhe didn't know much about military ranks, but he could be sure that the other party was a middle-level and lower-level officer, the reason was very simple, because the soldier's uniform was different from that of a soldier, and his age looked younger.

As for the other one, it was an old man who was laughing, the old man's dress was very ordinary, and he looked no different from ordinary people, it seemed that they had just talked about something happy, and even Su Zhe's parents were smiling.

"Dad, Mommy......." Su Zhe saw that a guest was coming, stood at the entrance of the living room and shouted to his parents, and then turned his eyes to the two guests.

"This is Xiao Zhe, right?" The old man turned to look at Su Zhe with joy in his expression: "In a blink of an eye, he has grown so big, and he was only so little when he was born." The old man gestured as he spoke, his face full of smiles.

Su Zhe looked at the old man suspiciously, he knew himself from the other party's words, but how could he have no memory of this old man? Just when Su Zhe was a little confused about how to call the other party, he only heard his father say: "It's been 16 years, the child will always grow up, by the way, Xiaozhe, this is your Uncle Elke's ......." ”

"Don't, don't...... How do you call me uncle? It's not a mess. Without waiting for Su Yichen to finish speaking, Elk shook his head again and again. You must know that he is Luo Yan's student, if you really count the seniority, Su Zhe is his junior brother, if he is called uncle, doesn't this mean that he has climbed to the head of Su Yichen and Luo Yan, the two division commanders?

"What? If you don't call your uncle, do you have to call your grandfather? Luo Yan smiled on the side and asked, "Just uncle, it's just right to be an uncle at your age." It's more appropriate to say so. ”

"It's ......." Elke looked slightly embarrassed, but he couldn't help but listen to the teacher's words, and it was appropriate for Su Zhe to call him an uncle from age, and more importantly, Su Yichen and his wife had lived here for eighteen years, and in the past eighteen years, they had almost cut off their previous contacts and lived in an ordinary way. Except for a few old friends. Their identities are kept strictly confidential.

Before Elk could decide whether or not to accept the title, Su Zhe first called him uncle, and then said hello to the young soldier who had already stood up.

Promoted to a higher level in a daze, Elk had to accept it vaguely. Then he beckoned Su Zhe to come and sit down, and asked about his study life like an ordinary old man.

When he learned that Su Zhe had shown his talent in science, especially mechanics and electronics, since he was a child, and was preparing to apply for the Federal University of Science and Technology, Elke was extremely happy, and repeatedly praised this child as the child of Su Yichen and Luo Yan. It's just not easy.

"Alright, don't praise him, he! It's just a little clever. "My own child knows that although Su Zhe has a talent in this area, he is also very good at learning, and he is even smarter, but this child has one of the biggest shortcomings is arrogance, except for Jamie and Tom from childhood to adulthood. I didn't have any other friends at school. For this, Su Yichen has always felt bad. I am more worried that Elke's praise has contributed to this kind of character of his.

"Clever? Hehe, being smart is not a bad thing, the child will be smart when he grows up, by the way, Xiaozhe, where did you go just now? Why weren't we at home when we came? It's a day off, so you don't go to school, right? Eckel asked with a disapproving smile.

It's not the first time that Su Zhe has been told this by his father. He's used to it. However, there was a guest at home, and his father still mentioned this, which made Su Zhe feel slightly unhappy. It happened that Elke asked this question, and Su Zhe deliberately mentioned what he had just done to do the experiment, and when he heard that Su Zhe had designed and completed an all-terrain detector by himself, Elke suddenly became interested. Let him take things out and show them for himself.

After more than ten minutes, when Elke personally manipulated the all-terrain detector to move around the living room, he couldn't help but praise Su Zhe a few words, and praised the performance of this little thing he designed was really good.

"Of course, I've been working on the design since last year, and I've only just finished it today, and I'm sure there will be further improvements after thorough testing." Su Zhe was a child after all, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud when he heard the praise for himself. In fact, his small design is very good, both from the design idea and the whole, including the practical aspects have a lot of shining points. Although Su Yichen was also happy and proud of his child's ability in his heart, as a father, he did not show too much praise, and just nodded slightly to indicate that this design had merit.

But Luo Yan can't care so much, the mother is always kind and loving to her children, not to mention that Su Zhe's design is not bad or even better than she imagined. She reached out with interest to take the ball, carefully looked at its structure, and at the same time asked Su Zhe about the overall design ideas and so on.

After listening to Su Zhe's explanation, Luo Yan put forward several suggestions to Su Zhe in the expansion of some functions and design improvements as a mathematician and physicist. Su Zhe listened attentively, and the more he listened, the more excited he became, and after Luo Yan finished speaking, he was even more happy to slap his thigh.

"Yes, yes, yes! Mom, you're right, I said how do you always feel awkward in this place, so this can solve the problem! Su Zhe said excitedly, and then couldn't wait to retrieve the ball and stand up: "Dad, Mom, Uncle...... Keep talking, I'll go upstairs for a ....... ”

Without waiting for the words to finish, Su Zhe ran upstairs with his round ball in a hurry, and a sharp sound of closing the door came from upstairs after a while.

"This kid ......." Su Yichen shook his head slightly, knowing that his son is better than his father, he knows best what the character of his child is, and he must have gone to his room to make design improvements.

"I'm sorry for letting you see the joke." Apologetically to Elk and his lieutenant, Elk waved his hand disapplausively: "What are you talking about, how can this be called a joke." You and the teacher have such a child, and I, as a student, am too late to be happy for you. The two of you are successors, and when Xiaozhe is admitted to the Federal University of Science and Technology, he will be able to take over your class in the future after graduation....... ”

"Huh. This kid is smart and talented, but ....... Su Yichen smiled, hesitated and said: "He is different from us, the children who grew up in the greenhouse have never experienced setbacks, I am just worried that his arrogant personality will hinder him in scientific research in the future." ”

Aloof. Or, more accurately, overconfidence, which is not a good thing for scientists. Because in scientific research, scientists often have to go through constant repetition and failure to achieve success. Even in some studies, maybe even this constant failure, repetition will continue for a long time. Science must endure loneliness, but also endure these setbacks. Su Zhe's talent and intelligence are the foundation for him to become a scientist, and the acquired hard work and character are the necessity of becoming an outstanding scientist. And this is what Su Yichen is worried about, as the child grows up little by little, how to go in the future, he and Luo Yan have also been thinking about it.

Elk came to visit Su Yichen and his wife this time. Eighteen years ago, Elk's tenure at Pluto Base was completed, and he was subsequently transferred back to Space Fleet headquarters at Moon Base. Originally, according to Elke's wishes, he planned to officially retire, but because the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization were starting to form a joint organization to explore the Andromeda galaxy and wormholes.

As a high-ranking general in the Earth Federation military, Elke's retirement was delayed, and it was not until his retirement report was finally approved a few months ago. As a result, he took off his military uniform and went from a famous general to a civilian who went by the day.

Civilians, though. But Elk still has an honorary rank after all, and it is the pride of the military. So all the benefits he had during his tenure were approved by the federal government and the military, and he was given a small guard.

But all of this was rejected by Elke, except that his former lieutenant remained with him, and the only thing he received from the federal government and the military was a house in his hometown and a special flying car parked in the courtyard. And coming to visit Su Yichen and his wife today is an act of Elke preparing to go home to spend his old age in peace.

"It's all arranged at home?" Luo Yan asked him. Elk is not alone. He has a family and children, his wife died unexpectedly a long time ago, and his children have long since started a family, some in the army, some in government agencies. There are also a few more in the business world. As for grandchildren, granddaughters, grandchildren, granddaughters and so on, this time he answered that Elk arranged his home in his former hometown, although this was his hope, but it was a little incomprehensible to the juniors.

"It's all arranged, what do you want to do, you have to listen to them? Is! Elk waved his hand very domineeringly, and then smiled happily: "By the way, teacher, I'll show you something good." ”

"What?" Luo Yan asked curiously, and Su Yichen also showed a curious expression on the side.

After asking the adjutant to take out a small device and then turn it on, the living room suddenly lit up with an unusually clear and realistic three-dimensional image. When they saw this image, both Luo Yan and Su Yichen showed surprised expressions, because they recognized this place at the same time.

"This ...... Isn't this ......? ”

"Hey, that's right! This was our village back then. Elk nodded heavily, the area had been rebuilt by someone he had commissioned to look like before, and the vegetation around it had been restored to what he remembered. In order to do a good job of this home, Elk also deliberately used some privileges in his hands when he retired to finally have such an effect, and now when this scene is displayed in front of everyone, there is a trace of sadness in the memory in addition to excitement.

"It's beautiful...... It's like ....... Looking at it, Luo Yan's eyes moistened slightly, she had lived in this place for nearly 30 years, every grassland and every tree was so familiar, and there were ...... houses that were exactly the same as in her memory.

Su Yichen is the same, he seems to have returned to the time of the year in an instant, back to the time when he went there to find Luo Yan. At that time, Elk was still a child, but now he is a general in the military world. It was as if time had gone backwards, as if it had gone back to the past, to those unforgettable years.

"I've rebuilt your home for you, you see, it's exactly the same, right? On that day, you and Teacher Su came back to live together, and we could go up the mountain to herd sheep together, and watch the colorful glow on the horizon spread all over the grassland. ”

"You've got a heart...... Luo Yan nodded slightly with tears in her eyes, this is not only Elke's memories of the past, but also a precious gift to her respected teacher. With such a student, what else can you say as a teacher?

"But I have to live next year, on the one hand, the facilities are not fully completed, and on the other hand, the federal government insists that I, an old man, serve as an adviser, and I really can't refuse, so I have to go to the gangster class first, and then leave when it is almost over."

Turning off the image, Elk sighed again, and as soon as he said this, Su Yichen and Luo Yan laughed again. People say that old children are old children, but I didn't expect Elke, who had just retired, to become an old child. But when he heard that he was going to stay in the capital for another year, Su Yichen's heart suddenly moved slightly, and he had an idea.

"Can you help me?"

"Hey! Teacher Su, if you have anything to say, what else do you want to help? Su Yichen was so polite all of a sudden, Elk was a little unaccustomed to it, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Hehe, it's not a big deal, it's a little troublesome, but it's actually ......." Su Yichen hesitated, and then spoke: "I want to hand over Xiao Zhe to you, let you beat him for me, his kid is good for everything else, but he has never suffered a loss, rather than getting to the university and suffering some setbacks and changes, it is better to find an opportunity to train him now." Elk, although you are retired, I don't think it will be difficult to do this, right? ”

"Yichen, ...... you?" Luo Yan suddenly looked at her husband worriedly, Su Yichen held his wife's hand, and said with a smile: "Jade doesn't make a peck and can't make it, we already know a lot when we are like Xiao Zhe, he still has a long way to go in the future, and it is for his good to suffer a little now." ”

"But he still has to go to college!"

"Going to college?" Su Yichen laughed: "Are you still worried that he won't be admitted to the university?" If Su Yichen and Luo Yan's son can't be admitted to college because of some hardship, then his future can be imagined. (To be continued......)
