Chapter 70: Small Talk

"Let's go, find a place, let's eat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" said Zhou Xin and led the three people to the seats not far away.

Not long after they had sat down, Ralph walked up to them with the box, and after sitting down beside them, Ralph did not rush to eat, but asked Aina curiously.

"Where do you live on this planet? Isn't it fun to live in a beautiful place? As he spoke, Ralph's face showed a yearning expression, "I'd love to visit your planet." ”

Hearing Ralph's question, Aina, who was already holding a bag to eat, stopped and placed the bag on the table, and then she replied, "We don't live on planets, we were born in Space City. ”

"Space City?" Ralph thought for a moment, "You mean the group of space buildings near the planet, where you two were born?" Her tone was a little surprised, and then she continued, "Then you can't stay on it all the time, have you ever returned to the planet to see it?" Tell me what it's like on the planet? ”

Hearing this question, Zhou Xin and Christy were also curious, because the probe that Atlas secretly put on the surface of the planet has not yet sent back a signal, so now everyone on the spacecraft can be said to know nothing about the specific appearance of the planet's surface, Zhou Xin actually wanted to ask this question before, but before he talked about this topic, it was already noon.

Glancing at the bag on the table, Aina spoke: "Actually, I haven't been back to the planet a few times, and every time I took me back because my parents had something to do, basically every time I returned to the ground, I walked around the place where we lived, so I don't know exactly what the planet looks like on the surface." ”

"That's right." Ralph's tone looked a little regretful, but she still didn't give up and asked, "Since you've still shopped, let's talk about the places you've walked around on the ground." While asking, she opened a bag of things and ate them, looking at Aina in front of her, Ralph suddenly reacted, she said vaguely with food in her mouth, "Don't patronize, let's talk while eating, the things on the spaceship are still delicious." ”

Hearing Ralph's words, Aina picked up the bag on the table and ate it like Ralph. In the process, Zhou Xin said to Ralph with a smile on the side: "They have already eaten it yesterday and have known it for a long time." ”

"Really?" Ralph was immediately excited, and she said to the little girl again and again, "It's really delicious, isn't it?" What do you like to eat? I like the sweet and sour pork ribs made here the most, sweet and sour, it's really delicious, you see, this is it. As she spoke, she pulled out a new bag from the box, which she held out to Aina, "Would you like to try it?" Huh? Did you order this too? Ralph was a little embarrassed to see the little girl holding the exact same bag in her hand, but then she wondered, "Huh? How did you get this out of the first bag? Didn't you order a staple? ”

Hearing Ralph's question, Aina was slightly stunned, and then asked suspiciously, "What is a staple food?" Aren't all dishes the same? ”

"This is the second time they've seen food on the ship, and there are so many kinds of dishes introduced in the food dispenser, it's normal for them not to know the combination." Zhou Xin explained for the little girl, and then he turned to look at Christie, "I remember you just ordered the main food for them, help them take it out." ”

Christy nodded, then reached for a moment to flip through the box on the table, and in a few moments she pulled out a bag that was one size larger than the one Aina was holding.

As Christy searched for it in the box, Zhou Xin told Ralph about what Aina had told him about the nutritious meal in a few words.

"What?!" After listening to Zhou Xin's words, Ralph looked very surprised, "So, you've eaten a kind of food before?" No, although we didn't eat many kinds of food before, but there was more than one, how did you get here? Then she thought about what it would be like to have to eat only one thing a day, or even a meal, and after a while, she shook her head, "I won't be able to eat it for a few days, it's terrible." ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Aina's tone seemed normal, but after saying this, she hesitated, glanced at the bag in her hand, and whispered, "But if you go back now-"

Ralph obviously saw what the little girl was thinking, and she casually invited, "Since you like the food here so much, if you else stay on the spaceship, you will not be able to eat it every day from now on." ”

The moment he heard this, Blue, who had been sitting next to him and eating wildly, suddenly became excited, and he stuffed a lot of food in his mouth and shouted indistinctly: "Stay, stay, sister, I want to eat something delicious." Even Aina's eyes lit up when she heard this, but after a while she still shook her head, "No, I still have to go back to my parents, they should already be looking for me and my brother by now, if they don't go back, they will definitely be in a hurry." As she spoke, a worried look appeared on her face.

"Then pick up all your mom and dad." Ralph immediately replied without thinking.

"Hey, hey." Zhou Xin looked a little crying and laughing, "You should ask my opinion when deciding on this kind of thing, how do you know that I will agree?" ”

"Would you disagree?" Ralph asked rhetorically, and then she turned to Aina and said, "The captain is just joking, you don't care about him, he's a good old man, as long as you want to stay, then he won't object." ”

"Okay, okay." Zhou Xin's tone was a little helpless, "I won't refuse, but have you ever thought that today it will be her parents, tomorrow it will be their grandparents, and then there will be some uncles and aunts and the like, what if you have to come up with any seven aunts and eight aunts." ”

"Thisβ€”" Ralph was a little embarrassed, "thisβ€”we'll talk about that then, and it's not likely to happen." ”

"Who knows." Zhou Xin said noncommittally, and then he pulled the topic back, "Okay, about the question of whether the sister and brother will stay, let's let them decide for themselves later." For now, let's hear from Aina about the planet. ”

So, everyone focused all their attention on Aina, and the little girl's face turned slightly red, and then she said, "I really haven't been to many places on the ground, and I think that the places I've been to are actually no different from those in Space City." ”

"No difference?" Zhou Xin's brows furrowed slightly, "No, it's more lively on the ground than in the Space City." ”

Aina shook her head, "If you think about it, it's actually a lot more deserted on the ground than in Space City. ”

"Deserted?" This time it was Ralph who asked, "How is that possible, and what are you guys usually doing?" ”

"Work." The little girl replied as a matter of course, "Where do you get food if you don't work, don't you usually work?" ”

"Work is definitely going to be." Zhou Xin replied that although he had heard Atlas mention it before, he still wanted to confirm with the locals, "But don't you need any entertainment?" ”

"What is entertainment?" Aina was apparently hearing the word for the first time.

"What do you usually do after work?" Christy explained.

"Done? Rest, oh, and eat. Aina had a strange look on her face.

"What about the break? Is there anything that can be done? "This time it was Ralph who asked the question.

"Rest is sleeping, what else can I do?" The little girl's tone became strange.

At this time, Zhou Xin suddenly understood, it seemed that there was something wrong with their question, so he changed his question, "How long do you need to work every day?" ”

"How long is itβ€”how to say itβ€”" Aina thought for a moment, "we count twenty hours a day here, and adults need to work twelve to fourteen hours a day, and children over six years of age have half the hours. ”

"Even the kids have to work?" Zhou Xin asked in surprise.

"That's right." The little girl confirmed in a normal tone.

"So many people work so long hours every day, what are they all doing?" Zhou Xin's heart was a little difficult to understand, with such a way of working, why the people in this country have not even solved the basic food and clothing.

"Do what?" The little girl tilted her head and thought, "Most people, it seems that they are producing something, but I don't know what it is." As for us children, it's mainly about making food for everyone. ”

"Production?" After listening to Aina's answer, Zhou Xin's heart became even more puzzled. He really couldn't understand why the standard of living of the people in this country was so low, when most of the people were engaged in production. According to the way Aina describes how they work, the civilization on this planet should be more advanced than that of Earth.

While Zhou Xin was thinking, Ralph opened his mouth and asked, "Then according to what you say, you can't see a person on the street under normal words?" ”

"Of course, who would go out on the street when they go to work with nothing to do. It's only when you get home from work that there will be people on the street. ”

"Don't you have any shopping streets or anything like that?" Ralph continued to ask.

"The high street? So what? ”

"It's just a whole street of places that sell things, by the way, you don't usually buy things, do you?"

"Buying something? Why buy something? What to buy? Aina's tone was strange, "Although we have a few places that sell things, there are not many of them enough to form a street." Aina replied.

"If there is no place to sell things, how do you get your usual daily necessities, and how do you solve the problem of eating."

"Daily necessities or something, someone will send them every once in a while, and if you eat, you can go to a fixed place every day to get it, just like that." Aina gestured to the row of food dispensers by the wall.

"Even on the ground, daily necessities are distributed at fixed times?" Although Zhou Xin was still thinking, he was still listening to the conversation of the others, and after hearing the little girl's answer, he seemed to understand the meaning of the little girl's words, and then he opened his mouth to ask Aina.

"That's right." Aina nodded, and then complimented, "Those delivery personnel are very punctual, and the notification is when it arrives, and it never delays time." ”

Zhou Xin didn't answer, but fell into thinking again, and after listening to the little girl's words, the doubts in his heart became more and more.

"Isn't that super inconvenient." Ralph was surprised by Aina's answer, "What if the daily necessities are broken?" He also asked the same question as Zhou Xin asked before, and of course, Aina also gave the same answer.

"It's hard to imagine that there is such a life." Ralph sighed in a tone of incredulity, "If I were allowed to live in a place like this, I would be depressed to death." ”

"If you had been born and lived in this kind of place in the first place, you wouldn't have known that you would have lived like this." After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xin still couldn't figure out why the civilization on the planet was like this, and when he came back to his senses, he happened to hear Ralph's words, so Zhou Xin replied casually.

"That's true, but it's a bit boring." Ralph scratched her head, and then she didn't think much of it, and just asked, "By the way, you can't work every day, you should have some time off, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." Speaking of this, the little girl was obviously much happier than before, "We have a full ten days off every year. ”

Zhou Xin was no longer surprised by this answer, but Ralph shouted again: "It's only ten days!" So short?! ”

"It's not a short time." Aina replied in a normal tone.

"Okay, okay." Ralph obviously didn't know how to continue, "Since you said it's not short, then it's not short, then what have you been doing in the past ten days, is there anything interesting on the planet?" ”

"Fun place?" The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, "For people on the ground, the most interesting place should be the space city where we live, basically everyone comes once a year." ”

"On the ground, what's the fun on the ground?" Ralph emphasized.

"I don't think soβ€”" Aina's tone fell into confusion, "The ground is a dangerous area except for the residential area and the factory area, and the slightly safe places have basically been developed into new residential areas and factory areas, but I don't know much about the things on the ground, and I'm not very sure." ”

"Oh my God." Ralph patted his head, "How the hell did you get here......
