"Brother, you were punished by your father again?" The young Guan Er poked his head out from behind the wall and looked at Guan Shi, who was honestly walking in the courtyard. From four o'clock in the morning to six o'clock, it is now nine o'clock.

The sweat stains dripping on the floor have evaporated, the sun is very fierce, the sweat beads on Guan Shi's face have been dried several times, and he took the water handed over by Guan Er and slowly drank it, and soon there were new beads of sweat on his face.

This is the small courtyard of Guan Shi's house, which is separated by neat wooden planks, and the yard is full of fresh vegetables, which is in stark contrast to the neat lawn of the neighbor's house.

"Go, go." Guan waved his hand impatiently: "You finished your morning class?" ”

Guan Er scratched the back of his head and smiled, the face that was completely different from Guan Shi was also richer than Guan Shi's.

"Sneak out to see Mom." He looked at the time and knew that the system for morning classes had recorded his absence, but there was no remorse on that immature face: "It's a big deal to go back and be punished together." ”

Hearing this reason, Guan Shi didn't say anything and urged him to go to class. It's just that when his figure was about to disappear around the corner, Guan Shi still called out to him.

"Mother, is he okay?"

The innocent smile on Guan Er's face quickly disappeared, he pursed his lips, thinking of the woman who smiled at him on the hospital bed, her pale face was whiter than the snow-white wall behind her, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in his young heart.

"Nothing wrong, fine." He said: "She only said that you should visit her more when you have time." ”

Guan Shi nodded and didn't ask anything. Watching Guan Er's figure disappear into the room, he gritted his teeth and secretly stretched his body.

The muscles in my back were bruised, the result of yesterday's fight with those thugs. The Federalists have always looked down on their sallow skin of the Easterners, and even though Guan Shi's mother is a purebred white man, he still can't take off the nickname of this yellow monkey.

What's more, they laughed at his mother and also laughed at his father's accent.

When it comes to fighting, he has never been afraid, and his thin body of sixteen or seventeen years old has never lost in the face of a Federation man who is two heads taller than him.

Not afraid of being weak, not afraid of being undefeated. This is the martial arts that his father taught him.

Their home is just a remote town in the 1st Federal District, and it still retains its appearance from a few decades ago, each with a separate cottage and yard. The nearest department store and supermarket to my home takes half an hour to fly by plane. It's hard to get the most advanced technology in the Federation, and he was surprised when he recently heard that their energy here could be used for free.

As taught in class, the food here will soon be available for free.

But he also understands that a lot of jobs are going to be replaced by machines. With the exception of a small group of people in charge of the data center, machines are used to replace human labor in all transactions.

Even the police are no exception.

At that moment, the door of the courtyard was pushed open. Guan Qin strode in, his police uniform was draped over his sturdy body, and the police ♂ badge that belonged to the Federation shone golden in the sun. Beads of sweat ran down his face and into the collar, and he already had a little wrinkle on his face after years of wind and sun.

But despite this, every step he took came out of a majestic momentum on all sides.

He is Guan Shi's father and Guan Shi's master. Integrating the ancient martial arts inherited from the East into modern fighting techniques, in this small place, no one can fight in charge, and catching thieves is naturally good.

He was carrying the vegetables he had just bought, and the Dongguo people had built a small Chinatown nearby, selling home-grown vegetables. However, the federation still prohibits the slaughter of pigs and sheep outside the factory, so in the federation, fresh meat is still not eaten.

Just as I was thinking about what I would eat for lunch, the door that had not been closed was gently pushed open. Guan Shi saw a man dressed in black following behind Guan Qin, he was very young, and he looked a few years older than Guan Shi. Although the skin is a pale yellow, it may not have seen the sun for a long time and may appear a little pale.

"Stand still." Guan Qin walked past Guan Shi and kicked his somewhat out-of-shape standing. A bottle of water was placed at his feet, and he walked into the house with the man in black behind him.

Soon, as expected, Guan Er was also called to Zamabu.

"It's been a long time since we've been here." Guan Er didn't have a trace of remorse for skipping class, smiled at the sun, and his steps were very standard: "It doesn't look like someone our dad will come into contact with." ”

He didn't say anything, but just walked silently. Feeling the pain of the muscle fibers in my legs being torn off one by one, I raised my head and stared at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance.

"What do you want to do in the future?" Idle and bored, Guan even asked his younger brother.

"Me?" Guan Er looked cynical: "What can I do in the future?" Food is free, energy is free, and the roads are full of robots. Why don't we go and fight with those people yesterday, every day, until they are afraid. ”

Guan even shook his head slightly, picked up the wooden sticks randomly placed in the yard and began to practice. Until the third pole of the sun, he put the wooden stick in front of Guan Er's body, and his arm that had gradually developed held the thick wooden stick more than three meters long, without a trace of trembling.

"If you can, you can stay here and be a martial artist." Guan Shi said: "Martial artists can make some money, but they can't make money in fights." ”

"That's okay too." Guan Er has always agreed with his brother's point of view: "After making money, you invited me to travel." ”

"Earned money for you loser? I'm not going to do it. Guan Shi smiled contemptuously: "This is all left to our mother." ”

Guan Er also smiled after hearing this. The two older boys stood in the courtyard, competing with each other, looking forward to a better tomorrow. Even in the rapidly changing times, the enthusiasm of human beings cannot be extinguished.

But just then, a drone parked outside the house, requesting access to their yard. There was a set of documents on it, and I don't know what was written in it.

Soon, Guan Qin let the drone into the house and sent the documents directly into his room.

"It's time to eat." After a while, his figure appeared by the window.

The man in black was nowhere to be found, probably through the back door. Guan and the two went into the house to take a shower, sat down at the table as always, and picked up the meal in silence. The breeze gently poured into the room, and this small building in the corner of the Federation had enjoyed the tranquility for more than ten years. Their family still retains the habit of using chopsticks and eating Chinese food. So except for some Dongguo, very few people will come to their house.

"Aunt Qin's vegetables, you have to say hello to her when you go back." Guan Qin put away that seriousness when he ate.

"The vegetables are all free, who will grow vegetables in the future?" Guan Er muttered. Neighbors always laugh at their yard, which is not neat and dirty, like a nest where yellow monkeys live.

"Aunt Qin likes to plant, and your mother likes to eat, so continue to plant." Guan Qin never said a word: "Today, the second child washes the dishes, don't care, you and I will come here." ”

Guan Shi swallowed the last bite of food, glanced at Guan Er, and walked into the study.

In the study, Guan Qin picked up the document on the table and closed the door.

A blue, finger-sized device was placed on the table, and that was the first time Guan Shi had seen a shield.

"You've heard of supercomputers, 'friends.'" He looked at Guan Shi, and his eyes suddenly became a little deep.

"A collection of all-federated computing. Computing power is turned into one of the strategic resources and cannot be used at will. "Guan Jinping still does his homework very well.

"The town has also been equipped with a data collection system. As long as the source data is collected according to the standard, the step of data cleansing can be omitted. Here, it was quickly brought under federal supervision. Guan Qin looked into his eyes, and his tone was a little serious today: "In the future, our every move will be clearly seen by the Federation." Of course, the same is true now. Like your mother's illness. ”

He picked up another document, which he had clearly hidden for some time, the paper a little crumpled.

"My job won't last long, but the hospital still needs a lot of money. This house was originally going to be sold. If you move to the city, there will be a federal subsidy. The 'friend' has already found out the situation in our family, and even the probability that I am going to leave the company, and your future expenses, have been sorted out by date, which is very accurate. Guan Qin handed over the document in his hand, as he said, it was a research material from federal insurance.

"So we're going to move?" Guan Shi is already not small, and there are not too many surprises when I hear this. It's just that I feel a little lost when I think that I won't have such a comfortable yard to practice martial arts in the future.

"Originally, it was planned to be so, but just now, the capital sent this thing." He pushed the document over, and there were a few big words written at the beginning, which was the admission letter.

From the College of Tius.

"Where are the schools in these years?" I don't know why. The federal government abolished all schools early on and switched to a unified virtual device for the basic education of citizens.

"Yes." Guan Qin obviously knows a lot: "It's in the capital city of Carmel." Moreover, this is the only school in the federation where you will earn more money than I do in the future and live the life you want. I'm not against you going. ”

"Are there any conditions for going to school?" It is not easy to think that there is a free lunch in the world. This is also the common saying that disciplines him.

After listening to this, Guan Qin looked out the window and touched his face full of scum.

"From now on, you will be a member of the Federation." After a while, he said, "Do you like this country?" ”

"How much money can I make after graduating from school?" Guan Shi suddenly changed the subject.

"A lot, you can't spend it all."

"Then I like it."

Two days later, the Commonwealth aircraft that had come to pick him up stopped outside the house. Guan Shi and Guan Er had never seen such a luxurious flying machine, and they were pointing around it. The neighbors also came out, and some recognized it as a sign of the capital and hid in their beautiful lawn to watch secretly.

"If we have a chance in the future, we will fight again. I'm not going to lose again. Guan Ermu sent him to the flying machine. Between men, there were relatively few words, and when he was about to leave, Guan Er squeezed out this sentence.

"I'm not going to lose." Guan Shi smiled: "If I lose, I invite you to play all over the world." ”

"That's settled." Guan Er took off the stick used for martial arts training from behind him, and Guan even took out Guan Qin's ancestral iron rod at the same time.

The two sticks touched lightly in the air, making a dull soft sound.

"Ah, it's decided."
