The neighbors rushed in and picked up their things.

A man with a short beard took the lead and picked up the television. Not to be outdone, the woman next door threw away the dog and snatched the gas stove. There are those who move furniture, those who dismantle electric lights, and those who look for passbooks...... Crashing, yelling, dog barking...... Outside the window, lightning and thunder!

In the huge chaos, Ma Haowen pulled down the bookshelf violently, and the sudden sound shocked everyone.

A bolt of lightning slashed across the sky, and lightning illuminated Ma Haowen's face—only a wounded beast would have such a face! Among the mottled scars, a pair of blood-red eyes were like two cracks, shooting out a decisive light.

"I'm not going to throw in the towel. Unless I die, I won't throw in the towel. If you don't believe it, you can try it! Come on. Come! ”

The neighbors winced.

When a person has nothing to lose, you can't frighten him with anything. A person who is not afraid of death is not afraid of anything. They exchanged glances with each other and began to silently put down what they were holding and slowly retreated towards the door.

Moments later, only father and son were left in the room.

In the midst of the chaos, Ma Fei looked up and looked at this father he had never seen before, it was the only time in his life that he saw his father, who had always been gentle, so angry.

"Never, don't throw in the towel!" Ma Haowen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said again.

Ma Fei didn't know if this sentence was for him, or if it was for his father's own-

Last night's consumption made Ma Haowen sleep deeply. Early the next morning, Ma Fei got up uncharacteristically earlier than his father, and sat at the desk to work together.

Ma Haowen opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and hurriedly jumped out of bed: "It's late, it's late." Why don't you call me? As he spoke, he walked over to the basin stand next to the desk, picked up a towel and placed it in the basin.

He glanced at it and noticed a note pressed under the globe on the table.

He picked it up, and there was a line on it, which he wrote solemnly and vigorously with a pen: "Dad: Like you, never admit defeat." ”

Ma Haowen smiled, covered his face with a towel and began to wipe. Rubbing and rubbing, the towel didn't move, only the eyebrows fluttered......

Dad's behavior became strange, leaving Ma Fei, who had been peeking at a loss.

He coughed, sat down at the window with the globe, and played one of his favorite games again - his fingers found the city of Dongpei, from here, followed the Dongpei River into the Yangtze River, followed the Yangtze River upstream, climbed the Hengduan Mountains, jumped over Qinghai Lake, and jumped into the Hexi Corridor.

"There are no mountains, no rivers, no desert as far as the eye can see, and the clouds hang on the horizon! What kind of place would that be? ”

Ma Fei held his cheeks in reverie.

There are no mountains, no rivers, no desert as far as the eye can see, and the clouds hang on the horizon.

The atmosphere in the monitoring room of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center was tense and serious. Gu Xinghe's wife and daughter were already waiting in the monitoring room, and Commander-in-Chief Pan Wanli was by their side, chatting with each other.

An engineer rubbed his bloodshot eyes, pulled out a bottle of eye drops from his pocket, and as soon as he looked up, he stumbled upon something unusual on a surveillance screen in the corner.

With a slight change in value, an inconspicuous trajectory ripple appeared on the screen, and then disappeared in a flash.

"Commander-in-chief! It seems to be Dawn 16! The signal is sudden, very erratic, intermittent and weak. The engineer exclaimed.

Pan Wanli rushed over with an arrow, and everyone in the monitoring room rushed over and gathered around him. Pan Wanli's eyes were glued to the screen, and he decisively picked up the microphone and commanded: "This is the last chance." Lock the position, and the space-based TT&C communication system sends a search signal to the nearby area! ”

All the staff quickly entered a tense working state, and there was no human voice in the huge room, only the orderly sound of various instruments.

"Is it Daddy? Daddy, you're coming back. I really haven't licked the gums. She looked up at the busy adults, and although she didn't understand what was happening, she could see some kind of turn in their faces. Mrs. Gu Xinghe held her daughter's hand, and tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes again.

At the same time, messages flashed on the receiving screen in the capsule.

"Commander! Signal from the command center? Ma Fei exclaimed excitedly.

Gu Xinghe's eyes also lit up: "Answer!" ”

Ma Fei flicked the button. A section of the capsule's outer wall erupted in flames; Where the fire was extinguished, the ship's screws fell off, and some debris flew into outer space; The main police light glows red and screams; The ship jolted violently.

The two astronauts were engrossed in the emergency operation, moving their four hands on the dashboard with hundreds of buttons without any confusion.

"Speed overload, speed down."

"Oxygen tank leaks, emergency shut-off."

On the big screen in the monitoring center, that ripple-like trajectory disappeared.

The entire crew held their breath. A moment later, Pan Wanli picked up a chair and threw it out, and a glass wall was smashed to pieces. Mrs. Gu Xinghe hugged her daughter and cried bitterly.

Calm returned to the capsule.

Gu Xinghe and Ma Fei stared at the flashing police lights and fell into despair again. The two turned on the video recorder and began recording their last words into the screen.

"Exactly, when you saw this video, I don't know if you graduated from college or got married, or if you also have your own children?" Gu Xinghe smiled hard and pulled out a tooth from the jacket pocket of the spacesuit, "Look, what is this?" Your first baby teeth. There is a saying in Dad's hometown that if you throw your child's teeth high, the child will be happy for life. The best thing other dads do is throw them on the roof, right? Your teeth are in outer space. You will be the happiest person in the whole world. ”

The red light of the VCR flashed silently.

For a long time, Ma Fei didn't speak. Finally, he took out a globe from the bag attached to the bulkhead - the globe had become quite old over the years, but it could be seen that it had been carefully cared for, and all the broken parts had been repaired with great care.

"Dad." Ma Fei raised the globe and said solemnly to the screen, "Only let me bring one thing, I brought this!" Like everything I did before that exam, I tried my best......"
