Chapter 6 A Visit to Grandpa Fu
After returning to the hotel, Fu Xin thought that he would have to visit his grandfather at Fu's house tomorrow, and he couldn't leave empty-handed, so he decided to take advantage of the afternoon to go to the mall to buy gifts for his grandfather.
Because Lu Jiayao had to go to Lu's father's friend's house in the afternoon, and he could not come back until after dinner. Fu Xin planned to go to the nearby mall by himself.
In the living room of the Fu family, Grandpa Fu was sitting in the center of the sofa, and Fu Junlin was sitting on the sofa with his side hand.
"How is the situation of the Lu family's banquet today?" Grandpa Fu asked.
"Xie Cheng came, and I chatted with him for a few words. Although he is a little arrogant, he is quite honest in his life and is a friend he can make. Master Adeline of the Watt family and Master Yao of the Spiritual Power Research Department also came, and it seems that Master Yao's son was sponsored by the Lu family to be admitted to the Soil Cutting Academy. I have a general understanding of the students of the Lu family, except for Jiaqi, there are no particularly outstanding talents. "Fu Junlin truthfully returns the money.
"Have you seen Fu Xin?" Grandpa Fu raised his eyes to look at Fu Chunlin.
Fu Junlin lowered his head: "I saw it from afar, but I didn't make contact." ”
Grandpa Fu's eyes were a little stern when he heard this: "Although Fu Xin didn't grow up in our Fu family, she is also my granddaughter, your third uncle's daughter, you shouldn't have been so angry with her." Then he sighed and said: "That's it, she will come tomorrow, then you can have a good chat with her, get close, and in the future, whether it is at home or outside, you should take more care of her." ”
Fu Junlin nodded yes.
In the shopping mall, goods and services are very complete, and everything is available for clothing, food, housing and transportation. Fu Xin was a little dazzled and didn't know what to buy.
Buying clothes, I don't know my grandfather's size; Buying food, thinking about the conditions of the Fu family, it is estimated that what I buy is not as good as what my grandfather usually eats; As for housing and transportation, I can't afford it; That is, you can consider what to use, but there are too many types, and I don't know what to choose.
Fu Xin thought about it, found a sales lady, told her what she wanted, and asked her to help recommend.
"May I ask if this elder of yours is an ordinary person or a reinvenating person?" The sales lady asked with a smile.
Fu Xin didn't think of so much, and wondered: "Is there any difference?" ”
"That's right. Last month, the Hsieh Group's Bloodline Gene Research Institute launched a life enhancer that can extend the life span of recreated people, and it is said that long-term use can increase the life span of up to 3 years. Therefore, it is very popular with re-engineers, and basically every time the goods come in, they are snatched up. It just happened that a batch of goods arrived today, and if your elders are reinventors, I highly recommend this product. The sales lady patiently introduced, obviously very much in favor of this life enhancer.
Fu Xin listened to the words of the sales lady, but became interested in recreating people and life enhancers: "Can it be so popular if it can only increase its life span by 3 years?" ”
"You should be an ordinary person when you say that." The sales lady looked at Fu Xin with a smile and said slowly: "Then you should also know that in recent years, the physical condition of our recreated people has become worse and worse, most of the recreated people only have a life cycle of about twenty or thirty years, and we are basically engaged in low-level work, and the physical wear and tear is relatively large, basically we have not left our jobs, and we are already at the end of our lives." So even if it's just one more month of life, we have the opportunity to observe the world and enjoy life, and we are willing. ”
So that's the case, no wonder she would highly recommend life enhancers just now. Fu Xin listened to the words of the sales lady, understood the behavior of recreating people, and sympathized with their situation, and a faint sadness welled up in his heart. Thinking that Grandpa's gift had not yet been chosen, he changed the subject: "Thank you for your recommendation." But my elders are not reinventing people, they are ordinary people, do you have any other recommendations? ”
"For ordinary people, I recommend buying a portable massager, which can not only dredge the meridians, relax the tendons and relieve fatigue, but also straighten the spine and relieve pain, which has the effect of maintaining health and longevity. And the portable size is more compact and convenient. Hearing Fu Xin's inquiry, the sales lady immediately put away the faint melancholy tone she had revealed before, and recommended and introduced it professionally.
"Okay, just like this, please help me pack it." After listening to the introduction, Fu Xin felt that it was also good, and immediately made a decision. After using the communicator to transfer the account, he left the mall with his gifts.
On the way back to the hotel, Fu Xin sat on the public transport, and remembered the words of the after-sales lady, and couldn't help but wander.
Fu Xin had read books about the soil master before, and knew that the life cycle of the recreated person created by the general low-level soil master was about 20 years, the intermediate level was about 30 years, and the advanced level was about 40 years, and only the master level could create a recreated person with a lifespan of more than 40 years, but the longest would not exceed 60 years, but at least it could maintain a complete cycle of a person from childhood to old age.
She also knows that most of the current soil kneading industry are middle and low-level soil kneaders, with no more than 20% of senior soil kneaders, and only 1% of the rare level of soil kneading masters.
But she never connected the situation of the soil slayer with the situation of recreating people in real society. The vast majority of re-created people only have a lifespan of twenty or thirty years, which means that they have been working all their lives. Even if a re-created person with a life span of forty years subtracts the time spent studying at the beginning of waking up, there are no years of pleasure left.
Although recreated people are new human beings and cannot give birth to offspring, they are also living people, with thoughts and feelings, but they can only be bound to continuous labor for a lifetime! Fu Xin felt a little indignant and a little aggrieved, but he was not a reinvent after all, and he was just a child who had not entered society, and he didn't know what to do.
Because of the impact of the recreation problem, Fu Xin, who returned to the hotel, was in a heavy mood, and he didn't have the heart to go out to eat again, so he dealt with two people casually in the hotel, and didn't wait for Lu Jiayao to come back, so he fell asleep first.
Because she went to bed early, Fu Xin woke up early the next day, and after a night of sleep, her mood finally returned to normal.
After tidying up in the room for a while, Fu Xin took the gift and prepared to go to Fu's house. Fortunately, Grandpa Fu arranged for a driver to pick her up, and Fu Xin didn't have to inquire about the route and take the public transport, so she followed the driver to board the land traveler.
Fu Xin, who had seen the main house of the Lu family yesterday, thought that as the head of the three major families, the house would be more luxurious, but she didn't expect it to be what she thought. The main house of the Fu family is just a single villa located in the middle of the mountainside, although the villa looks very large, but it is not as amazing as the villa group of the main house of the Lu family.
Fu Xin walked into the villa and first saw Fu Chuan Lin who was exercising in the yard, Fu Chuan Lin saw Fu Xin and smiled and signaled: "Grandpa is waiting for you in the living room." ”
Fu Xin nodded and walked into the living room.
Grandpa Fu was sitting on the sofa in the middle, and a beautiful middle-aged woman was sitting on the sofa on the side hand, who was tearing off sentences and talking to Grandpa Fu at this time.
Seeing Fu Xin coming in, Grandpa Fu smiled and beckoned: "Fu Xin is here, come and sit." ”
Fu Xin walked quickly to Grandpa Fu and put down the gift: "Grandpa, hello! This is a gift I brought to you, a little bit of my heart. With that, he sat down on the sofa on one side.
Grandpa Fu looked at Fu Xin's appearance, and sighed with some emotion in his heart: "You have grown up, 10 years have passed, and I almost can't recognize you." ”
Seeing this, the woman on the side looked at Fu Xin, and said with a smile: "This is Fu Xin, she looks so smart!" The eyebrows and eyes are very similar to the third brother. Seeing Fu Xin looking at herself, she said again: "I am your sister-in-law." When my third brother left home, I was still in school. Now, you've grown so big. ”
"Hello sister-in-law!"
"Hey~ How many days have you been in the capital? Are you still used to the environment here? ”
"I just arrived the day before yesterday, and I'm still used to it for the time being. Thank you sister-in-law for your concern. ”
"You kid, why are you so polite! We are all a family, if you encounter any problems, just say, don't be restrained. ”
"Sister-in-law, I'm not polite, I really haven't encountered any problems."
"I heard that Chunlin said that you will start school tomorrow, how are you preparing, how are you going to school tomorrow, do you want to help?"
"No need, sister-in-law. I don't have much luggage and have already made an appointment with my friends to go to school together. ”
"Hey, you kid, you're really well-behaved, but it hurts!"
Grandpa Fu listened to the conversation between the two and interrupted: "Fu Xin, I heard your grandmother say that you like sweet and sour pork ribs, do you have any other dishes?" At noon, I asked the kitchen to prepare more. ”
Fu Xin waved his hand embarrassedly: "Sweet and sour pork ribs are enough." I'm not a picky eater, and everything else is fine. ”
Grandpa Fu listened and instructed the sister-in-law next to him: "Jin Ling, you go to the kitchen to see how Mother Zhang's lunch is prepared, the dishes are hearty, and you should be especially attentive to making sweet and sour pork ribs." Then he turned to Fu Xin and said, "Fu Xin, you come to the study with me." ”
Fu Jinling watched Fu Xin follow Grandpa Fu to the study on the second floor, raised his eyebrows, and walked towards the kitchen.
In the study, Grandpa Fu sat at his desk and beckoned Fu Xin to sit on the opposite chair.
"I've ignored you all these years, do you blame me in your heart?" Grandpa Fu asked, staring at Fu Xin's eyes.
"It was weird at first. Later, after listening to my grandmother's words, I can understand your painstaking efforts. Fu Xin told the truth.
"Actually, until now, I don't support you to become a soil digger in the future." Grandpa Fu let out a long sigh: "Our Fu family is an innate bloodline, with a huge family and a large population, and everyone has the talent to be a soil digger. Although the soil industry is thriving, it has been continuously impacted by the acquired bloodline for hundreds of years, and there are too many middle and low-level soil makers, and we are the leading family in the soil industry, so there is no need to occupy a position on the threshold of the middle and low level. What's more, a soil kneading master is comparable to 100 low-level soil kneaders, so in recent years, the Fu family, who has been in the middle and lower talents, will not learn the art of soil rubbing. Can you see what I mean? ”
Fu Xin nodded hesitantly.
"Your spiritual power level is too low, even if you improve, you can only be a low-level soil slayer, so why bother. You see Chuan Lin's sister Chuan Ya, a double C-level talent, is now engaged in bloodline gene research; And your sister-in-law Jinling, D-level + B-level talent, is quite happy to be an artist now. Grandpa Fu said slowly.
"However, I want to know about my parents' past, and I want to know the reason for their death, I want to ......"
"Enough!" Hearing Fu Xin's words, Grandpa Fu immediately sank his face and interrupted: "The death of your parents is not something that you can investigate as a child!" This has a bearing on the struggle within the top echelons of the state government and, even more, on the entire country's system and the issue of the people's livelihood in the whole society. After speaking, he closed his eyes and spat out weakly and sadly: "Even if I am the patriarch of the family, I can't investigate the reason. ”
After listening to Grandpa Fu's words, Fu Xin couldn't help but guess: Grandpa must know more about the death of his parents than his grandmother, and even knew the inside story, but he couldn't do anything. She was a little discouraged, what should she do if she couldn't even do what her grandfather couldn't do. But you have to try it to be reconciled.
"That's the end of this matter, don't mention it again." Grandpa Fu said to Fu Xin. "As for your work as a soil smasher, since you have already made your decision, I will respect your decision. But as a Fu family, if you want to do it, you have to strive to do your best. If you encounter problems or lack of resources in the future, you can come to me, and I will also find some spiritual power research masters for you to see if I can improve your spiritual power as soon as possible. ”
After speaking, he leaned back on the chair a little tiredly and waved his hand to Fu Xin: "You go down first, you will have lunch in a while." ”
Fu Xin returned to the living room and saw that in addition to the sister-in-law and Fu Chunlin, there were many beautiful girls on the sofa.
When the sister-in-law saw Fu Xin coming down, she hurriedly beckoned her to come over and sit together, and said to the girl next to her: "Chuan Ya, this is Fu Xin, your third uncle's daughter." Then he said to Fu Xin: "Fu Xin, this is Chuan Ya, your uncle's daughter, and Chuan Lin's sister." ”
After hearing this, Fu Junya enthusiastically took Fu Xin's hand: "You are Fu Xin." I heard that your bloodline gene is S-level, can you go to my blood tube when you have time, let me study it well. ”
"You know your bloodline gene research, you research maniac!" The sister-in-law clicked on Fu Chuanya's head and said, "Fu Xin is here for the first time, don't scare her." ”
Fushina grimaced playfully.
At noon, the uncle and aunt also rushed back, and the sister-in-law said that it was to see Fu Xin. Because the second uncle's family is stationed in Aocheng all the year round, they usually come back during the holidays, so she didn't see her this time.
At the dinner table, the uncle didn't talk much, and he looked a little serious; The eldest aunt looked more gentle, and asked Fu Xin about her situation from time to time, and gave her vegetables and rice.
After the meal, Grandpa Fu proposed to leave a room for Fu Xin in the main mansion, so that she could come back to live in normal times.
Fu Xin thought about it, but agreed. But I said that I would just come back to live when I was free, and I didn't come back every week to rest, but I would often come back to eat with my grandfather.
Grandpa Fu readily agreed, and instructed Fu Chunlin to take more care of Fu Xin at school.
After lunch, Fu Xin thought that he still had to prepare for the opening of the school the next day, so he proposed to leave.
Fu Chuan Lin carried the gifts given to Fu Xin by his grandfather, uncle, and sister-in-law and sent Fu Xin to the land walker with Fu Chuanya, and before the land walker was activated, Fu Chuanya also took Fu Xin's hand and told her to go to her research institute to draw blood when she was free, which made Fu Xin cry and laugh.
Back at the hotel, Lu Jiayao was already waiting for gossip and asked Fu Xin a bunch of questions about the Fu family. After Fu Xin answered one by one, he took Lu Jiayao to the mall to buy some things that he needed after the start of school.
