At 11:30 on January 1, 2050, in the fifth branch of Qianshan Machinery Maintenance Center, Miao Ji was tidying up in his workshop, preparing to go home for dinner from work and then enter the "New Era". Due to the opening of the global unified time, the opening time of the China region has been announced by Times Group at 12:37, so Miao Ji still goes to work normally in the morning.

After completing the maintenance workload of the mechanical unit that would have taken a day to complete, the stable hands as usual simply increased the speed, and then told the immediate boss a 10-day vacation, which is the annual leave in 2049. In 2049, in addition to normal holidays, Miao Ji is full of work, and Miao Ji had been vaccinated with his boss a few days ago to ask for leave at this time. In addition, Miao Ji has been extremely stable in his work for several years, no single person has made a mistake, and the maintenance of mechanical units has been well received by customers, the most important thing is that Miao Ji has never shown a desire for management positions, which is the reason why Miao Ji can be familiar with his boss Lin Guang in the work unit and is very leniently managed.

"Da Miao, ready to go home?" Lin Guang, the head of the fifth division, opened the door and entered Miao Ji's workshop after getting Miao Ji's authorization, and after approving Miao Ji's vacation, he still had to come to see the completion of Miao Ji's list for work reasons, after all, the original arrangement was a day's workload. The two have known each other for several years and have a very good relationship.

"Yes Brother Lin, all the orders have been delivered to the service department, rest assured, there is absolutely no problem." No matter how good the relationship is, after all, work is work, how can Lin Guang be a leader, Miao Ji naturally has to report with a smile.

"You and I must rest assured, but you kid can, you can complete the day's workload in half a day." Lin Guang said with some disbelief.

"Brother Lin, I took all today's work data home to work overtime, and today I just repaired it with materials according to the process completed by working overtime last night, so of course it's fast." Miao Ji lied without changing his face, although the work data would leave traces in the intelligent background, Miao Ji didn't believe that Lin Guang went to check him for this.

"It seems that your kid has been planning for a long time, for this holiday, okay, get out of the house after finishing your work, but don't forget the wine you promised yourself, if you don't come in the afternoon, I'm pretending to be a public servant." Lin Guang pretended to be serious and made a joke. Miao Ji patted his chest when he asked him for leave, and he would definitely be able to complete all the assigned work today and not come in the afternoon, as a bribe for a supper in the food street next to the maintenance center.

"Don't worry, I can't forget, when I come back from leave, let's get drunk." Miao Ji said with a grin.

"You've got it, you, when did we get drunk? A bunch of old men are drunk, just drink a juice soda on your side, and get drunk. Oh yes, why are you going to take leave for this New Year, today is noon on the day when "A New Era" opens, you kid won't run to play games, right? Lin Guang rolled his eyes and teased Miao Ji.

"Haha, Brother Lin, you are really clever, you can't hide anything from your old man's eyes." Miao Ji slapped his ass and laughed.

"Okay, you kid don't make a fool of yourself, for the sake of "New Era", almost more than 100 people in our fifth division came to ask for leave, but I am the only one who approved you, no matter what you do, you have to work hard when you come back, do you hear?" Lin Guang made it official again.

"Don't worry, I'm not at ease, aren't you? Oh, Brother Lin, I remember that you seem to have been a player of "Mechanical Age", and I heard from my colleagues in the department that you are quite powerful. Miao Ji snorted, his hand didn't stop for a moment, and he was almost finished cleaning up the workshop.

"Okay, don't mention it, I've been playing for six or seven years, but it's closed, Times Group has broken the hearts of a large number of our old players!" Lin Guang was a little emotional. Fortunately, the compensation of the Times Group made him nothing dissatisfied.

"Not ready to enter "New Era"?" Miao Ji asked again.

"I've bought the terminal a long time ago, but it's not as crazy as before, just go in and have fun. Eh, you kid probe on my secrets, is it possible to ask for a fake and really prepare to play a game? Lin Guang was a little surprised, "Mechanical Age" has not fallen for ten years, and except for a few employees in the fifth branch who are about to retire, only Miao Ji is not playing. This made Lin Guang seriously suspect that Miao Ji was not a young man of this era.

"Maybe play, then I'll talk about Brother Lin later, before I get off work, I'll slip away first, you're always busy, hehe." Miao Ji played Tai Chi, hurriedly pushed Lin Guang out of his workshop, and locked the workshop with a click. The biometric system locks automatically, and while Miao Ji is still the owner of this workshop, no one except the boss of the maintenance center can enter without Miao Ji's authorization.

"Okay, okay, get out of here, I'll be angry when I look at you." Lin Guang scolded with a smile. In fact, the work system of the center is not strict, especially for technical jobs like Miao Ji, as long as the workload is completed, people can leave at any time.

"Then I'm sorry for you." Miao Ji slipped away quickly in Lin Guang's laughter and scolding.

The hovering tram delivered Miao Ji to the door of the apartment in only 4 minutes, and when she returned home, Qin Yuelan was playing with her son Xiao Ze, while Wei Linglan did not return home from work.

"Mom, I ordered lunch to be delivered today, I want to eat first, I told you and Linglan last night, I may have to work hard for you in the past few days." After dinner last night, Miao Ji had already made it clear to Wei Linglan about taking ten days off, and Wei Linglan couldn't stop him if he knew it, so he could only agree.

"Don't worry, there are me and Linglan at home." Qin Yuelan replied, thought about it and said, "You have been married to Linglan for many years, although it has been a little dull, but it can be regarded as harmonious and happy. However, I think that a man should always have some courage, and he must always have some pursuit in addition to shouldering the responsibilities of his family, so as to give himself a better and prove his own meaning. ”

Miao Ji heard Qin Yuelan's words and groaned for a long time before saying, "Mom, you're right, I'll work hard." ”

"Mom knows that you must be too much smarter than usual, so I won't say more." Qin Yuelan said.

"Didi!"

At this time, the smart home system prompts that lunch has been delivered. Nowadays, the society is at home, and the delivery of meals is simply not too convenient, and the order is placed, and the intelligent network streamlines all the cumbersome procedures, and the food delivery flight is delivered as quickly as possible according to the planned route.

Miao Ji opened the door, took the lunch through the biometric identification system and put it on the table and did not rush to eat, after all, the time was not even 12 o'clock, so he was not in a hurry for a few minutes. Miao Ji walked to the balcony of the living room with his son in his arms and teased him, looked at his son's smart eyes and immature face, and then looked at the city where he had lived for many years, and recalled Wei Linglan's appearance and Qin Yuelan's words just now, almost five years of depression and restraint were lifted, and thousands of emotions came up.

"It's been five years, don't ask for the past, just for peace of mind!"
