281 Farewell
Half a year after the landing of Rowang, the Chuxiu is finally returning.
It brought with it some genetic markers of the plant and animals of Rhomarind, environmental samples, physical health reports of the landed population, and other Rhowang products, as well as letters from families to friends and relatives and consignments approved by the Headquarters of the Construction Corps.
Shang Tan'an wrote a letter to Grandma Li.
He clicked on the small items from the other stars he had picked up from the Moon Market and wrapped them up. Standing up, he saw Scarlet walking around the yard, patrolling the fence again. Ever since the little spider visited their house, she had always been very careful inside and outside the house, and she would walk around the yard and sweep when she had time.
"Okay?" Scarlet turned her head.
The beginning of the high ground into the middle of spring. The small vines climbing on the fence have bloomed pink and blue flowers, called small Liao vines, but the weeds under the cloud lapis stone have climbed out of a few clusters of water-pink trumpet flowers, called pink grass. In strict accordance with the latest version of the Dome House Residence Management Code, Scarlet has marked the layout of their home's facilities.
The small flowers in the courtyard swayed in the morning breeze, and the petals took on the raindrops of the early morning shield, becoming more and more crystal clear. Although Brother Qiong had not yet dried the rain on these flowers, it had been sprinkled all over the place, and it was also reflected on Scarlet's body and face, and it happened that Shang Tan'an could clearly see her dark red hair, shining with a more playful luster than other black hair.
"Alright." Shang Tan'an walked out of the house with a smile.
The string bells shook slightly beside the lintel, and the jingle was more cheerful than the slow sound just now.
Shang Tan'an took the bag, closed the door of the dome, and walked to the scarlet silk at the door of the fence. Suddenly, a thought flashed through him, if she didn't follow, at this moment, he might have to write one more letter to her, say hello, talk about the customs here, and leave a follow-up contact method.
Not possible, necessary.
Thinking about it, I felt that Scarlet and him were in this small courtyard at this time, which was really fantastic.
"Wei Mingxuan's family is gone." Scarlet looked at Duan Dongkou, watching the Wei family's colorful car rise into the air, she turned her head again and reported, "The Dage family has also left early." There will definitely be a queue at the community service center. ”
"Well, focus on one period and take your time." Shang Tan'an responded, and the rare feelings were like the water vapor under the light of Brother Qiong, which evaporated in a moment. He smiled and reflexively closed the door of the fence courtyard and got into the car with Scarlet.
The car lifted off into the air, squinting at the wasteland to the west of her house. The wasteland is full of flowers, so beautiful that even the cliffs that cling to the sky to the west look quaint rather than hideous. As the head of the thirteenth section, she was recently assigned a voluntary task to go to a piece of wasteland near her home to survey the plant varieties that had grown to see if there were any species that had not yet been recorded in the highland biological species bank. At this moment, a glance was similar to the scene she had seen on the way to work yesterday, and she closed her eyes and cast it directly below.
The car has passed several households one after another, and some of the courtyard doors are closed in the community below, and they queue up early to come, and some people are running around in the yard, seemingly very busy. On this day of rest, almost everyone was excited about the imminent return of the Chuxiu.
I don't know what I'm excited about, and it's not like I can go back by myself. Scarlet secretly complained to herself, and then glanced at the package in her hand to help Shang Tan'an, and said truthfully: "What you give to Grandma Li, you can buy it within the alliance." ”
Shang Tan'an chuckled.
"It's better to buy." You don't have to go through a lot of trouble to take the Chuxiu number to Luowang to make a round trip.
Shang Tan'an continued to laugh and mumbled.
Scarlet secretly flattened his mouth, the roundhouse command did not allow any property of Rawang to be privately sent to relatives and friends in his hometown, and the big guys still couldn't hide their excitement, and they exchanged each other in the moon market, so they sent it back to their hometown as a gift, putting aside the word affection, in fact, it was a real waste of logistics.
She didn't need to prepare anything for anyone, but she didn't have to worry about it.
The community service center was really crowded with a lot of people, everyone lined up in the activity square, and they were not in a hurry to rest on the day.
"Have you all written to the custodian?" Even if he knew that Scarlet was reliable, Shang Tan'an still took a gap to confirm it again.
"I'll give it to you, you can hand it over together." The scarlet party also wrote this letter, not to relatives, but to bear the concern for the old house, asked the custodian agency about the status of the old house, and politely thanked him, according to the rules and Shang Tan'an as the right holder to sign the name, it is no problem to give it to him.
Shang Tan'an received the letter from Scarlet, and with his letter to Grandma Li, after lining up at the front of the line, he passed it to the messenger machine at one time, and handed over the prepared package for inspection.
Everything is fine.
Scarlet looked at the messenger machine. Two-thirds of the way through the return journey, the small box with so many letters swallowed by the Chuxiu will be activated, and the letters will be sent to all corners of the alliance according to the address. She said so politely, the custodian should have given her a reply.
"Gone." Shang Tan'an looked at her and said widely.
Scarlet nodded, and as she walked out of the group, she sighed secretly.
Next, instead of staying in the main square to chat with their neighbors, they still have one more thing to do today.
Shang Tan'an got in the car, carried Scarlet, and rushed to the hospital.
Qiu Mianmian will return to the alliance with the Chuxiu this time.
Although Qiu Mianmian still looked light, there was more flesh on her cheeks, which made Shang Tan'an and Scarlet both happy for her.
"Sister-in-law Ge, back to the alliance, where do you live?" Shang Tan'an asked with concern.
"I haven't planned yet." Qiu Mianmian's face was no longer as sad as it was at the beginning, and she was very quiet, sitting in a room specially set aside for her by the hospital, looking out most of the time, talking leisurely, as if half of her soul had floated.
"What do you mean by the Enlistment Agency or our command?"
"What's the point?" Qiu Mianmian repeated softly, and said after a while, "Even if you agree to my application to go back, the rest of my life will be arranged for me, so that I can rest assured." ”
“…… It's good to go back. Shang Tan'an and Scarlet glanced at each other and said softly, "After I go back, I will be lively with the people in my hometown." Wait for one day Sister-in-law Ge misses us, and then apply to the Enlistment Bureau, and take a ship back to see. At that time, the waterway may have been opened, and the communication channel may have been fully opened. We chatted with Sister-in-law Ge every day, and it was probably convenient. ”
"Hmm." Qiu Mianmian agreed in a low voice, but there was no fluctuation on his face.
When Shang Tan'an and Scarlet were about to say goodbye, she sent them out the door: "Brother Shang, sister-in-law Shang, please have something for you." ”
"Sister-in-law Ge, please speak." Shang Tan'an said immediately.
"After I'm gone, Guanqing's ...... The cemetery was not sprinkled and cleaned. Qiu Mianmian snorted sadly, only when her husband's name was mentioned at this moment, her ancient well-like face seemed to show human vitality.
"We'll go to see Guanqing often. Me and Scarlet, as well as Huaici and Decheng, as well as Guanqing's colleagues, we will all go. Shang Tan'an solemnly promised.
"Thank you." Qiu Mianmian's tears flowed uncontrollably.
On June 15 of the first year of Rawang, after the first landing, after the New Year's Festival, the Department of Festivals, the Department of Calendar and Law set a second festival. On this day, the Chuxiu returned home, called the Township Festival.
Their starship left with the first information and materials, and they all stayed behind to continue their journey, cherishing the planet as if it were their own homeland.
The highland shield is open to the maximum like never before. The natural wind of Ramarind blows vigorously against the flowers and plants in the wasteland.
Scarlet and Shang Tan'an stood in the courtyard and looked up. Husbands and wives in every family stood in the courtyard and looked at the sky.
The Chu Xiu was in the sky, and it was as far away as a stray arrow. This whole group vacation, the grand farewell ceremony, is actually only three or four seconds. Soon, in the highland sky, there was nothing.
Scarlet retracted her gaze and met Shang Tan'an's gaze.
She didn't know what Shang Tan'an was thinking at this time, everyone was always in a complicated mood at this moment, full of feelings, or homesickness, or a lot of hopes for the future.
She only knew that Qiu Mianmian had gone back. As long as there is an opening, she can find a way to go back in the future.
No, she wouldn't discuss this with Shang Tan'an. Qiu Mianmian went back at the cost of Ge Guanqing's sacrifice. Of course she doesn't want bad things to happen to Shang Tan'an, she will have other ways, she will.
"Scarlet," Shang Tan'an asked softly, staring at her windswept hair, "Do you miss home?" ”
"Not yet." She raised her eyes.
