After the opening of the era of cosmic colonization, the ecological environment of this planet, which originally carried the pressure of 20 billion people, has been effectively alleviated.

In the following 100 years, more than 20 billion people have migrated to other planets, which has reduced the population of the capital planet to about 8 billion.

The so-called full of warm thoughts x desire. Oh no, it's the improvement of people's living standards, and the strengthening of environmental awareness. After the population carrying pressure was relieved, the Federation began a large-scale replacement of the population within the planet.

At that time, the slogan was "not only gold and silver, but also green waters and green mountains".

From Africa, Inner Asia and Siberia in Asia, and the rainforests, Antarctica and Arctic in South America, a large number of people have been resettled in highly developed regions such as eastern Asia, Europe, and North America.

As a result of reducing the impact of human activities on the environment, these places have begun to restore their original ecological balance. I took my parents on a tour of the restored African continent.

From the North American continent, we were on the upper reaches of the Nile in Africa in less than an hour. After renting a boat, we went downstream.

The river bank is shrouded in smoke and fog, blending with the water surface, the water and the sky are the same color, misty, forming an endless flat river.

"Ah, God!" My mother shouted, "Daughter, we're afraid we've already gone to sea......"

The star I was born on is a relatively inhospitable planet with a dry climate and short, small rivers. So although the size of the Vermilion Bird Star is about the same as that of the Capital Star, it has a population of only two million. My parents were fourth-generation immigrants who were born in Vermilion and had never left anywhere in their lives, so it was amazing to see such a wide Nile.

It's not the first time I've been to the Nile, so I've volunteered to be a commentator: "It's when the river rises, and the river is very wide, not out to sea. When the fog clears, you'll see the riverbank. ”

The mother patted her chest at this time, looking frightened.

After sailing for more than an hour, we saw a dozen fishing boats, sailboats with oars, and pointed-tipped wooden boats, all human-powered and loaded with thick bundles of reeds on the sides. Some of the boats sailed down the water, driven by the rapids, and were as fast as flying; Other boats swim upstream, sails open, and boatmen still have to rock and paddle hard.

Don't get me wrong, they're not the local aborigines, they're the staff of the scenic spot (yes, that's what the people of the Capital Star call Africa now). The boats were loaded with fish, crabs and other souvenirs caught in the Nile to sell to tourists.

The fog gradually dissipated. The outline of the river bank began to emerge and became clearly visible.

We saw hundreds of waterfowl skimming over the heads of the riders: pelicans, larks, cranes, red-headed gulls, white-rumped curlews and terns; The reeds on the shore are also noisy, with chirping, chirping, plucking, and flapping wings.

My father and mother were amazed at the chatter, a sight they had never seen in their lives.

In Vermilion Bird, most of the birds and beasts are hostile to humans. They operate in the form of "herds", devouring all creatures they come across, including their own kind.

After the reeds, we came to a cherry blossom forest. In order to let my parents admire the cherry tree with its branches nearby, I docked on the shore and went ashore.

If the reeds just amaze them, then the cherry blossom forest simply enchants them.

The trees in front of them were so full of flowers and fragrance that they could barely breathe. The low branches, some of which fall to the ground, and some of which are as dense as bushes. Many petals had fallen on the ground, and the wind passed, and the petals flew like snowflakes. In the middle of the cherry trees, there are peach and osmanthus trees, which are adorned with pink and yellow flowers, giving off a fragrance that is even stronger than that of cherry blossoms. Swarms of bees and colorful butterflies are flying around in this sea of colorful flowers.

"Daughter, you must work hard in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stay in the capital star in the future, and don't go back to Phoenix Star."

At this time, my mother seemed to have forgotten what she had said earlier about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs being a dangerous department, and asked me to work hard.

I can only smile at my mother's change of day.

After seeing enough and resting, we got on the boat again.

The scenery below is not as beautiful as before, but it is more wild. The river passed through a great wilderness, and on both sides of it grew grass more than a man tall, and from time to time deer and antelope poked their heads out of the grass, and from time to time the sound of wild boars chirping could be heard from afar.

Sitting on the boat, my father, Albert Barrow, asked me a question.

"Daughter, your age is not too young, when are you going to marry Tang Zheng?"

My fiancé, Tang Zheng, is a junior officer in the Federal Defense Forces. We met at a fraternity meeting between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Defence Forces.

At that time, Tang Zheng, who was wearing a straight military uniform, invited me to drink, and looking at his handsome face and straight posture, I agreed.

Please don't laugh at me, I'm such a look-alike association.

The rest is logical. We fell in love and got engaged.

Soon after getting engaged, Tang Zheng was sent to the Fourth Starfleet as an instructor in the first company of the Marine Corps. He is required to serve in this position for three years.

"Dad, Tang Zheng and I are still young, so we are not in a hurry." I put it this way.

Hearing this, my father sighed, as if he was extremely disappointed.

At this time, Trasolt Ottel, who had not been seen for several days, suddenly opened his mouth and exposed my lies.

"Actually, it's not that you're not in a hurry, but you want to get married after life is less stressful. After all, you still have 30 years of mortgage. ”

Even though my parents couldn't hear Trasolt Otter's words, my face was flushed with shame.

Yes, I do.

Tang Zheng's home is in Qinglongxing. The so-called Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, although these four beasts are ranked in no particular order in Eastern culture, but in reality, Qinglong Star is a big planet with a population of 1 billion, and it is completely incomparable with my hometown.

Tang Zheng's parents are also staff members of the Federation in Qinglongxing, but they are much stronger than my parents, and they easily bought a property for Tang Zheng in the capital star.

Although I love Tang Zheng, I also have my stubbornness. I don't want to be looked down upon by his parents, even if they don't.

So even if I have been in debt for 30 years, I still have to have my own house in the capital star.

"Say, did you peek at my memory!" I questioned Trasolt Otteldao inwardly.

Trasolt Ottel is still my favorite Raymond Cannady, but he doesn't have half of the maturity of lying in the void with one hand reading a book.

He admitted calmly: "Yes, I have been bored these days, I looked at your memory. After all, the only way I can get to know you is through you. ”

"Don't let you see it!" I scolded.

At this point, although there was no mirror, I knew that my face was flushed with shame.

So much privacy from childhood to adulthood......

Trasolt Otter scratched her head.

He pointed to the book with no words on the cover in his hand and said meaningfully: "What can't be seen, didn't you humans know everything about it when you were in Zhoukoudian millions of years ago?" ”

My face turned redder.

My mother didn't know that I was blushing because Trasolt Otter had spied on my privacy, and she mistakenly thought it was my husband who made me blush at the mention of marriage.

My mother clubbed my dad and told him to ask less about my feelings.

I watched my mother's little movements, which embarrassed me and my father.

Just as I was about to take my anger out on Trasolt Ottel, there was a motor sound on the left side of our boat.
