Chapter 2: Sister and Father
Yin Chen drove the locomotive on the city wall road, and at this time he was still having a headache about his savage and arrogant sister.
Regularly transporting Yin Xi to and from school every day is one of the few tasks for Yin Chen, even if he has no way to take this little aunt and grandmother, he can't abandon it.
Yin Chen's mother died to save Yin Xi, and since then, his father has taken Yin Xi very seriously, after all, she is the continuation of Yin Chen's mother's life.
Yin Chen's father, as the chief staff officer of the Space Administration and the deputy commander of the rescue plan, was busy with big and small affairs every day, often not going home for more than half a month. The task of picking up and dropping off Yin Xi only fell on Yin Chen's head.
Yin Chen drove to the edge of the road in the city wall and took the elevator to the ground. There are only 4 minutes left when I look at the holographic panel. He hurriedly drove out of the elevator and said, "Quark, quickly help me plan a route to Yin Xi's school, to avoid all the engineering vehicles, the fastest one."
Quark said with a hint of English: My dear young master, the fastest route has been arranged for you, you better hurry up, otherwise Miss Yin Xi will go crazy in a while.
Yin Chen gritted his teeth and said viciously: Do you still have time to tease me? Let's stay aside.
Quark immediately stopped talking.
Yin Chen looked at the laser projection route map in the front window, and went all the way unimpeded to the elementary school where Yin Xi went to school.
From a long distance, Yin Chen saw Yin Xi sitting on the railing on the side of the road.
The little girl, dressed in a small white military uniform, sat on a railing and hummed a song, shaking her two slender calves. The soft short hair fluttered in the dust and mist, and the big watery eyes were staring in the direction where Yin Chen came. It's like a weak and cute little girl. But Yin Chen knows that he must not be deceived by Yin Xi's appearance, this is a little witch who can eat people.
Yin Chen got out of the car and also sat on the railing.
"Why did you come, where did you die? Did you sneak around and go on a date with a young lady? ”
The sudden questioning frightened Yin Chen to sit on the railing and shake.
Yin Chen hurriedly looked at Yin Xi with a sneer, "How can it, my eldest miss, didn't I come over, I was a little late." Don't tell your dad. ”
"Hmph, look at your performance. Why don't you get Miss Ben's bag yet? Go home! ”
"Well, well." Yin Chen carried Yin Xi's small schoolbag and hung it on the handlebars, and started the car with his hand. "Get in the car, my eldest lady.
Yin Xi climbed into the car, put on his exclusive trumpet helmet and said, "Slow down, pay attention to safety, let's go." “
Yin Chen nodded, and the two gradually drove into the distance.
"Brother, what are you going to eat at night?" On the way, Yin Xi really felt bored, and gradually his stomach screamed.
"It's about the same as you normally eat, so don't think about eating normal things."
After the radicals attacked the earth, the ecological environment of the earth became very bad. Plants have to be grown indoors, and animals can only be raised indoors. However, in the current state, vegetables can only be supplied in rations, and meat and fruits can only be supplied to scientific research, construction, and military departments.
All households only have a small amount of vegetables in rations every week, and the government will only distribute fruits and meat during the holidays. The only thing that is usually used to fill the stomach is the energy blocks of various flavors, which are a mixture of water, starch and protein made by a 3D printer, and contain certain vitamins at the same time.
"Ah, can't we eat something else?" Yin Xi pouted dissatisfied.
Yin Chen drove a locomotive into a building. When the two got out of the car and were about to take the elevator upstairs, the horn of the car came from behind, and the two looked back to see only the glare of the car headlights.
"It's the Chief of the General Staff who has returned." Quark's cold voice broke the stunned minds of the two.
"Daddy? He is actually willing to come back" Yin Xi pouted, full of dissatisfaction.
At this time, the lights went out, and a middle-aged man in a gray tunic got out of the car, carrying a black bag in his hand, and he didn't know what it contained.
The middle-aged man's face was slightly tired but with a very soft smile, and his eyes were deep, as if he could see through it.
Yin Chen was stunned, he rarely saw his father not wearing a military uniform, and the last time it was probably at his mother's funeral. On weekdays, my father works in the headquarters, and he rarely goes home except for holidays, and he never leaves his military uniform, ready to work at any time.
"Hey, you two don't know how to pick me up." Yin Rangsheng's soft voice broke the silence.
Yin Chen and Yin Xi hurriedly ran to the side of the car.
"Dad", Yin Chen shouted out this long-lost word.
"Dad! Why did you come back, don't you know that Brother Yin Chen bullied me all day long. Yin Xi muttered a small mouth, flashed big watery eyes, and shook Yin Rangsheng's arm.
"Okay, Dad will help you get revenge, hahaha." After Yin Rangsheng finished speaking, he and Yin Chen looked at each other and smiled.
"You, you two are in the same boat, and you are embarrassed! I'm. After Yin Xi finished speaking, he walked towards the elevator angrily.
Yin Rangsheng hugged Yin Chen and said, "Let's go, let's go back." The father and son followed Yin Xi into the elevator.
Back at home on the 17th floor, Yin Rangsheng personally cooked a rich dinner for Yin Chen and Yin Xi.
Yin Rangsheng is the chief of staff of the Huaguo Branch of the Space Administration, and he personally went to the logistics department to get fish, meat, vegetables and fruits for this dinner, which made Yin Xi, who was still complaining about not eating well, eat with a mouthful of oil.
Seeing that the two of them had almost eaten, Yin Rangsheng broke the tranquility at the dinner table. "You both know why I'm back today, right?"
Yin Xi wiped the oil from his mouth and shook his little head, signaling that he didn't know. But Yin Chen nodded heavily.
"Yin Xi, you have to listen carefully." Yin Rangsheng's sudden seriousness, Yin Xi felt very nervous.
"Oh, oh, yes, I'll listen carefully." Yin Xi replied.
Yin Rangsheng said heavily: "Tomorrow is the second phase of our Stardust Plan, your brother is going to live in a closed base for selection, from tomorrow Yin Xi you will live in the command headquarters, I will let someone pick you up." The Stardust Project will send a team of 6 people to Stardust to save Turing, the last forging giant, who can build a quantum stabilizer to protect the Earth. This is the top priority of the earth at present, Yin Xi, you have to understand, okay? ”
"Okay, then brother has to come on, he must be successfully selected." Yin Xi said.
"Well, I know, I'm going to work hard for both the planet and my mom." At this moment, Yin Chen's eyes seemed to be much firmer.
"Okay, Yin Xi go back to the room to rest, Yin Chen come over and let's talk." Yin Rangsheng got up and said.
Back in Yin Chen's room, Yin Rangsheng looked at the photo hanging on the wall, which was the only photo of their family of three.
In the photo, Yin Rangsheng hugged Tang Qing, and Yin Chen stood in front of the two, although it was not much warm, it was also a rare memory for the two.
Tang Qing had short heroic hair, smiled warmly, and put a hand on Yin Chen's shoulder.
Yin Rangsheng and Tang Qing met and fell in love in the army, and later had Yin Chen. Usually, the two of them are busy with official business, and Yin Chen is handed over to a neighbor to help take care of them. This group photo is one of the few reunions in Yin Chen's memory.
"Dad, aren't you going to tell Xiaoxi about your mother?" Yin Chen looked at the photo and said.
"Well, wait a minute. Now that our home is like this, I don't want her to have any more burdens, and it's best for her to grow up happily. Yin Rangsheng pinched his brows and said.
"Hey, okay."
"It's you, the Stardust Project will be selected tomorrow, are you ready?"
"Dad, I know, I will work hard with our homeland, and I will save our earth with my mother's will." Yin Chen looked at Yin Rangsheng with firm eyes.
"I know you'll work hard, but be sure to stay safe and come back safely, my sister and I are waiting for you at home." Yin Rangsheng said and patted Yin Chen's shoulder.
"Okay, I know, don't worry, Dad, I'm fine."
"Then you have a good rest, Dad will go first, and I will take Yin Xi away tomorrow." After speaking, Yin Rangsheng turned around and walked out of the room.
Late at night, Yin Chen lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. He thinks a lot, he wants to save the earth, and he doesn't want to disappoint his mother, he doesn't want her to die in vain. Yin Chen secretly made up his mind that he would be selected for the Stardust Project no matter what and rescue Turing.
Early the next morning, Yin Chen drove to the Space Military Academy of the Huaguo Branch of the Earth and Space Administration, and when he passed through the guard post, he was told to assemble in the small square in Area B.
Yin Chen couldn't help but look forward to meeting the students who participated in the selection, although the training and study in the previous four years were also carried out in the academy, they were basically in a state of solitude, and Yin Chen had only seen a few of the people who participated in the selection.
Yin Chen came to the square, and saw a group of people from afar, Yin Chen searched carefully for a long time and finally found the chubby figure on the edge of a flower bed.
That's Ding Jia, he is a equipment professional, when they were young, they were from the same school, although there is less contact now, but the two are still like brothers. Yin Chen also asked him to help modify the car before, this dead fat man was too lazy to die, but after a long time of shirking, he still couldn't stand Yin Chen's soft grinding and hard bubbles.
Ding Jia was chatting with a little girl.
This girl is petite, her clear and transparent eyes are bottomless, her long hair is flowing in the air in the wind, her skin is like cream, crystal clear, and she always has a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth.
Yin Chen came to Ding Jia's side and patted him jokingly: "Dead fat man, are you falling in love with other girls again, why don't you give you a few tricks?" ”
Ding Jia suddenly blushed: Brother, don't come to bury me, we are pure friendship, you say yes, Sisi.
The girl smiled and said: Yes, brother, don't laugh at Ding Jia, we are friends, and I came to ask him for help. My name is Su Sisi.
"Ah, hello, my name is Yin Chen, and this fat man is small." Yin Chen said and stretched out his hand.
Su Sisi naturally shook hands with Yin Chen, Yin Chen only felt that Su Sisi's little hand was as delicate and smooth as white jade, but he held back his inner thoughts, and only shook it lightly and let go.
Su Sisi glanced at Yin Chen with appreciation, and couldn't tell that he was still a decent gentleman.
Ding Jia broke the tranquility at the right time: "Sisi, aren't you in trouble, just in time to pull Yin Chen." ”
Yin Chen looked at Ding Jia puzzled: "What's the matter?"
"Ah, it's about this selection, Si Si asked me to team up to help each other." Ding Jia replied.
"Huh? What team selection, how I don't know. ”
"No, big brother, your father is such a big official and doesn't even reveal these things to you?" Ding Jia looked very surprised.
"It's normal for him not to say it, my old man is selfless." Yin Chen spread his hands helplessly and said, "Okay, let's talk quickly, it's time to gather in a while."
"That's right, I've heard from others that this assessment was meant to be a one-man assessment, but we had to compete with each other." Su Sisi replied forcefully.
"I see, you mean we team up to increase our chances of passing." Yin Chen suddenly realized.
"Right". Ding Jia nodded.
"How many people know about it?" Yin Chen asked Su Sisi.
"I don't think there will be many, less than half of them, I also happened to hear others saying that I am a medical professional and have little combat effectiveness, and I know few people, so I have to come to Ding Jiage." Su Sisi replied.
"Is that just the three of us?" Yin Chen asked rhetorically.
"At present, we have medical care, equipment, and commander specialties, although you are all-round, but we still lack a lot, including computers, flight, and military." Ding Jia frowned.
Since I had been training alone before, we basically didn't know each other.
"There's no way, let's leave it like this for the time being, we can find someone else then, it seems like we're about to assemble." Yin Chen saw a man in a white officer's uniform, followed by an adjutant in a blue military uniform, and a group of soldiers armed with quantum weapons.
