234 Recruiting men on a snowy night
Time passed minute by minute, the dome was quiet, the moonlight still swayed in, if it weren't for Shang Tan's peace of mind as anxious as ants on a hot pot, such a moonlit night and such a hut would be like a good place to sleep.
He looked anxiously at Scarlet, half of her sleeping bag was soaked in the moonlight, half of her eyebrows were hidden in silhouettes under the bed, so that he could not tell if she was really sleeping soundly.
"Scarlet." Shang Tan'an called lightly.
After four or five calls, she didn't answer a word. Shang Tan'an knew that she was very resilient and assertive, he was afraid that Aunt Inspector would really come, and he would arouse suspicion for no reason, so he was silent, so he had to frown and jump on the bed first, occupy a seat to make the facility signal normal, and then sighed, and continued to reason quietly: "Scarlet, I'm fine, I said, if you can't bear it, I'll discuss it with you." I haven't mentioned it, but I can bear it. ”
There was still no response from the ground.
"You go to sleep tonight. We'll talk about a good rotation tomorrow. ”
The sleeping bag was motionless.
Shang Tan'an was really anxious, and waited for a while, only the moonlight was attached to the big curtain, piled on his shoulder, listening to him. He let out a long sigh and pleaded bitterly, "Scarlet ...... Don't argue today. ”
After another moment, in the silence of the room, Shang Tan'an withdrew his gaze and had to lie down in a single quilt. The large curtain shook softly, and for a moment it hung well, separating the other half of the bed from the sleeping bag under the bed.
"Good night." He looked sideways at the pattern on the curtain and sighed.
Early in the morning, Scarlet opened her eyes.
There was no sound of rain pouring on the fence outside, and she looked out, but saw a faint white light shining with large snowflakes under the gray sky. Only then did I suddenly remember that there was no rain scheduled for half past five today, but a snowfall.
Thinking like this, it turned out that Ge Guanqing died before the first snow in the Shilin Heights and was buried before the second snow.
Handsome, young, brave, enthusiastic, which of the draftees would not be able to use such an adjective?
Scarlet always knew that Ge Guanqing's death had a spiritual impact on her, but in a series of information exploration and funeral rituals, she didn't have time to brush it up. Now, she still doesn't know very well, and she doesn't want to use the death of another person to sort out her mood changes.
But she did change a little, she used to think that the world could be simply divided into three kinds of people, plain, friendly, and hostile, however, at the moment outside her dome, one dome after another, standing quietly in the snow, in the house sleeping quietly with recruiters, she thought of such a picture in such a quiet morning, and felt that those neighbors who did not know each other, who were plain or friendly, seemed to have a closer connection with her.
Such a big Tamarin, there is only this piece of Tamarinda. On the vast Tamarind Continent, there is only this one that is on the high ground. They built a city on the high ground, with cliffs and abysses in the west, Qianping Mountain in the east, a sea of ice in the north, and hot flashes in the south.
Ge Guanqing stayed in March of the Tamarindron calendar.
Now the rest of them are entering their fourth month.
There was no sound in the bed, no, listen carefully for a little even breathing.
Shang Tan'an was still asleep, he must have not slept well before, and when he changed to the bed, his body would automatically fall asleep. Scarlet tugged at the corners of her mouth slightly.
Grim days have just arrived, and none of them can afford to make mistakes.
After thinking about it for a while, she felt that her body was quite heavy, and when she looked at it again, she found that on top of her sleeping bag, there was not only her Bochum Star blanket, but also the Mobi gray blanket for Shang Tan'an. He must have covered her in the middle of the night.
He's a wonderful guy. Scarlet thought.
The snow continued to fall, and the sky gradually brightened.
The curtain hanging from the bed shook slightly, then a corner was lifted, and one half propped up his elbows, pulled the curtain away from his head, and looked under the bed.
"Good morning." Scarlet rolled her eyes.
“…… Did you sleep well? ”
"Okay." She sat up, looked at Shang Tan'an, raised her chin lightly, and signaled to the window, "It's snowing, it's time to stop, it's time to practice boxing." ”
Perhaps, the command wanted to boost everyone's morale with a happy event and erase the shadow left by the first funeral of Rawang in everyone's hearts. Perhaps, the preparations of the Material Allocation Division have been completed, and the node for the planned welfare distribution has arrived.
After the washroom was equipped for all families in the community, another livelihood problem was solved.
The Star newspaper of Rawang in April issued a national notice that each household in the conscription group should be equipped with an ordinary hovercar for daily travel on the high ground. Probably to add a different kind of life to the overly rigid dome community, although there is no choice for the style of the family hovercar, all of them are exactly the same, but there are many colors, and people who have leisure are allowed to take it back and print it themselves.
Although the family only has one car at first, and the other person has to rely on the community's commuter car to get around, it is enough to get everyone excited.
From receiving the notice, to going home to discuss the color selection, to looking forward to getting the car, to crowding and queuing up to get the car, this topic has been popular in the community for two weeks. Then, it was like a night of east wind, and colorful cars were parked in front of every house.
On weekends, almost all the men are outside the door to paint the new assets in the house. Well, in fact, this thing is dispensable, but one painted it, and the other looked interesting and beautiful, so they were also interested in giving it a try, and it quickly became a trend.
This is about four months after landing, in addition to the busy and heavy work and monotonous life, in addition to visiting the market, a rare leisure activity.
"Scarlet, come over and have a look, is this okay?"
Scarlet poked her head out of the room and glanced at it. Turning around, she gave a copy of the emblem she designed to the community service robot who was helping her tidy up the house: "Go outside to help Mr. and make sure that the pattern he drew on the car is more than 50% similar to my little draft, and that's it." ”
The robot said yes and walked out the door quickly.
After a while, she heard the sound of the robot urn and angrily explained: "It was asked by Madame." Sir, although I think it will definitely look better if you continue to paint, Madame asks you to do so, and I think you can stop. ”
She stopped wiping her string of green agate beads, stood in front of the door, and happened to meet Shang Tan'an turning her head to look over, she pulled the corners of her mouth and shook her head, Shang Tan'an smiled, knowing very well that she was lamenting a robot. "I'll draw a little more, there's still time." He shouted loudly, revealing a mouthful of beautiful white teeth in the light of Brother Joan.
"Okay." Scarlet snapped her hand at the robot, "You're back." ”
The robot said again and walked to the room, but half-bowed its head and muttered, "I did what I was asked to do." ”
