The day when the flight crew of Hang-9 was selected coincided with the beginning of autumn.

As the agricultural proverb goes, "the beginning of autumn rain will lead to a good harvest in the coming year", judging from the rainfall this year, the coming year must be a bumper harvest year.

It was drizzling outside the window, and the house was full of people.

Mrs. Yue sat on the sofa, holding the remote control in her hand, urging the old man, "Go out and see, where is the shallow girl." ”

As soon as the old lady's words fell, Lu Qian and Zhou Yunlan appeared at the door.

Lu Qian shook off the raindrops on the umbrella and handed them to Aunt Zhou, "Have you started?" ”

"Not yet." Lin Zi happened to come out with a fruit bowl and said, "The next show is." ”

The next program is the live news broadcast of CCTV's comprehensive channel, and it is also a meeting between the astronauts of the Hang-9 manned space mission and reporters.

Tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon, Hangjiu will be launched, but Lu Qian still doesn't know if Qiao Shen, a substitute, has been defeated. Because of the sudden outbreak of new influenza in the original astronauts, the astronaut brigade has taken stricter secrecy measures this time than before, and even relatives have not been able to get the news in advance.

The live broadcast finally began, and the first to appear were the media from all walks of life, carrying a "long gun and short cannon" aimed at an arc-shaped bulletproof glass, and three black chairs were placed in the glass, and the people who were about to sit on these three chairs were the astronauts who carried out the mission.

The first speaker was the deputy director of the Office of the Information Leading Group for the Aerospace 9 manned mission, and the deputy director officially thanked the news media from all walks of life, and then began to enter the topic, "According to the decision of the General Command of the Space Laboratory Mission, the astronaut crew of the Aerospace 9 manned mission is composed of three male astronauts, and they are ......"

Lu Qian sat in the middle of the sofa with a pillow in his arms. The pillow was given to her by Jin Changfeng, and it was printed with Qiao Shen's handsome face to relieve Lu Qian's lovesickness. Lu Qian had never been so nervous, and the handsome face on the pillow had already been kneaded by her brute force.

A warm touch suddenly came from the back of his hand, and Lu Qian looked sideways and found that Zhou Yunlan was gently holding his hand. After getting along with Ms. Zhou for a long time, I realized that the strength of "Mr. Zhou" was only for her work and career, and she gave all the softness and love to her family.

Now, she is also fortunate to be part of Ms. Zhou's family.

Lu Qian let go of the pillow, palmed up, and held Ms. Zhou's hand. The other hand grabbed Ms. Lin and watched the live broadcast intently. Then, three unfamiliar names came to the TV......

The three astronauts appeared one after another, Lu Qian's eyes widened and locked on the screen, but she didn't see the figure she was expecting.

The secretary of the party committee of the astronaut scientific research and training center took the position of deputy director and began to introduce the basic situation of the astronaut crew.

Lu Qian's hand unloaded his strength.

The old man took off his reading glasses and sighed, "Still unsuccessful!" ”

Old Madam Yue glared at him and said indignantly, "What's wrong with losing the election? Isn't it good if you don't win the election? Ah Shen: How long has he been in the team? It is unprecedented that he was selected into the pilot crew echelon in such a short time! Our family is very good! If you don't do it this year, you have to do it next year! ”

The old man told the truth, "There will be no manned space missions next year." ”

"Then the year after tomorrow, the year after tomorrow, with the condition of our boy, sooner or later, we will have to go up!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The old man turned his head and said to his daughter, "Look at your mother, I'm used to it." ”

"What if the dead old man speaks ill of me again?" When Mrs. Yue turned around, she didn't see Lu Qian, so she hurriedly asked Zhou Yunlan, "Where is the shallow girl?" ”

"Call Ah Shen." Zhou Yunlan took a sip of tea, and he was not surprised by this result. The old lady was right, no matter how good Qiao Shen usually performed in the team, after all, the training time was still too short and the experience was insufficient. On the way to the mission, the only thing that can save your life is the experience accumulated in the training on weekdays.

Qiao Shen couldn't be selected this time, but Zhou Yunlan fell into a big stone in his heart. This boarding space is different from flying an airplane, the danger factor is not known how many times higher, she is such a son, where can she give up. Even if it is a woman's kindness, she does not ask her son to make much contribution to the country, she only hopes that he can be safe and smooth in this life.

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Zhou Yunlan said: "It's okay if you can't go, you should be able to come back next week, and the shallow due date is almost next week." ”

Lu Qian called Qiao Shen five or six times, but none of them were connected. She came back dejected, "He didn't pick ......"

Lin Zi stuffed her with an apple, "Hangjiu will be launched tomorrow, and I will definitely be busy today, so it's strange to have time for you." ”

It was still live on TV, and it happened to be the reporter's question session. The question was asked by the commander of the astronaut lease, the commander was on his second space mission, and he had gone through a total of six selections, three of which were unsuccessful, and one of his backups.

The reporter asked: "What do you think of this team that is full of competition and strong comradeship?" ”

The conductor, who is over 50 years old, smiled and said: "This is my second flight mission, in fact, we astronauts have to go through selection for every flight mission, and I have gone through a total of six selections, of which I failed three times, and I also became a backup astronaut once. This competition and test are all things that we must face, and a team can only fight through competition. But as our astronaut brigade, it's not just about competition. More is hand in hand, and the spirit of inheritance and help. Once the crew is decided, then the other comrades-in-arms will also give us applause and will go all out to support us. Although it is us who is facing the camera, at this moment, the other astronaut comrades-in-arms are all waiting for the flight control post. And in the next flight mission, we will work together to ......"

Qiao Shen's name was not mentioned in this, and he became the comrade who gave applause to his comrades. Lu Qian really wanted to fly over to accompany him and give him a warm hug or a firm look...... But in the end, she could only hold her mobile phone and send him WeChat, and a thousand words were condensed into one sentence - Brother Shen, wait for you to go home.

Qiao Shen and the echelon members arrived at the launch center in advance and could not contact the outside world.

Seeing that he was not in a high mood, his teammates patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Your psychological quality is not good!" This is the first time I lost the election, so I was so disappointed. I'm not pouring cold water on you, the days will be long in the future! Some of the first generation of astronauts have struggled in this position for more than 20 years, and they have never been to the sky for decades. You can just say me, I have been a backup three times, and each time I come to the launch center, I see that our country's aerospace industry is developing better and better...... Hey, take out the fighting spirit, think about the benefits, you will be able to go home in a few days, you and your daughter-in-law must not have seen each other for more than half a year, right? ”

"6 months and 21 days."

"Hey, I remember you clearly."

Qiao Shen smiled, he didn't feel lost, he just thought that Lu Qian should have gotten the news at this time, and seeing that he was defeated, that girl should be more sad than him.

Fortunately, the waiting process was not too long, and at 6 p.m. the next day, the Hang-9 was successfully launched, and four days later, the spacecraft returned safely.

The captain gave all the members of the backup echelon a vacation, and Qiao Shen finally got his mobile phone back. Accompanied by the entourage soldiers, Joe Shen booked a ticket to Star City that night.

On the way to the airport, he went through all the unread information. In addition to the WeChat message sent by Lu Qian on the day of the press conference, she also sent him three WeChat messages every day at a fixed time in the past few days, the content of which is...... Live stream her three meals a day. It looks like the nutrition is quite balanced.

Qiao Shen took a closer look, and then found the clue. The background in the photo is the same tablecloth, and judging from the dinner plate, none of the three meals this day came from the special service squadron's cafeteria. Other words...... Lu Qian lived outside for five whole days?

Comrade Lu Qian, a workaholic, was not in the army for five days, and this is not the time for annual leave, so what is she doing?

Won't you go to earthquake relief again?

It's not right, this diet looks so good with meat and vegetables, it doesn't look like a disaster area.

This is a strange situation.

Qiao Shen entered Lu Qian's phone number, and just wanted to dial it, the girl was like her, and suddenly sent a > Qiao Shen clicked in to see that it was a newborn baby, wrapped in a small quilt, the little guy's face was blue, and the skin on his face was wrinkled, like a little old man.

Lu Qian: [Husband, look, isn't it super cute? ] 】
