Chapter 262: A Young Man with Great Prospects (1)
Gong Yaming's words surprised Gong Yaming, he remembered that when he left home at the beginning of the year, his grandfather, who had not been in touch for a long time, re-contacted his mother because he was seriously ill, but he didn't expect that in less than a year, the relationship between them had become so close-
"When I went to my grandfather's house for the New Year, did he recover?" Gong Yaming hesitated for a moment and asked.
"He's out of danger, but he's 137 years old, and it's impossible to fully recover." Xun Meijing replied in a gloomy and sad voice, according to the average life expectancy of human beings in the interstellar era of about 150 years old, more than 130 years old is already in the twilight years, and it is normal to die without illness.
"Mom, don't be sad, the grandfather will be fine, we will go to see him together as a family on New Year." Although there is not much family affection for his unmasked grandfather, in order to comfort his mother, Gong Yaming still said softly.
"Yaming, you are really more sensible than before, mother is not sad, you take care of your body, I will wait for you to go home." Hearing the second son's words of relief, Xun Meijing said with relief.
"Okay Mom, I'll be back in Shanteng in 3 or 5 days." After Gong Yaming finished speaking, he ended the teleport, and after thinking about it, he dialed another telegraph...
Seven days later, the time was approaching the end of the 122017 year, and a heavy snowfall had just fallen in Hening City, a sub-central continent region of the earth, which is located in a temperate climate, and the temperature plummeted below minus 10 degrees.
Fortunately, the plum blossoms all over the city are also blooming after the snow, and the colors are colorful, which makes people feel that it is not very cold.
Sitting in the back row of the medium-sized hovercar at home, Gong Yaming wore a warm velvet jacket personally selected by his mother, and looked out the window at the countless plum blossoms submerged in a snowy white, and muttered: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being a first-class city, and the street scene of Hening is indeed much more beautiful than Shanteng." ”
At this time, his father Gong Boxin was driving the flying car, his brother Gong Yaguang was sitting in the co-pilot and chatting with him, and the rest of the family was sitting in the back seat of the flying car, surrounding him.
"The street scenery is beautiful, but if you don't clean up such a heavy snow, what about pedestrians on foot, and there are shops, so there will be no business, right?" Hearing Gong Yaming's words, although he accompanied his mother to Hening during the summer vacation, Gong Yalei, who had never seen the snow scene in Hening, said with a smile.
I haven't seen this young man for a year, he seems to have matured a lot, and he has already had the feeling of transforming from a teenager to a young man, and his school career is indeed extremely sharpening his character.
Hening City is the hometown of her mother Xun Meijing, she naturally knows the reason, so she explained to her youngest son with a smile: "Yalei, in order to show the beauty of plum blossoms in the city, except for a few most prosperous commercial streets in Hening, other areas except for parking aprons are not allowed to remove snow at will.
Therefore, Hening people are accustomed to walking in heavy snow in winter, and there are "snow wheels" that can be used when they are tired. ”
In his heart, he felt that such customs in Hening City were very strange, but this kind of strange local regulations were really everywhere in the democratic areas of the Galactic Federation, thinking of this, Gong Yaming couldn't help but say nothing, and looked intently through the car window, looking at a few pedestrians on the ground who were like beans, paddling around in a snow, and coughed lightly.
Hearing his cough, Xun Meijing hurriedly said: "Yaming, the winter in Hening is much colder than Shanteng, your cold is not completely cured, don't go out after you arrive at your grandfather's house." ”
Gong Yaming smiled warmly in his heart and said softly, "I know Mom." ”
Hearing the conversation between the mother and son, Gong Yamei on the side pursed her lips and said with some jealousy: "Mom, the second brother is almost 30 years old, and he is a professional explorer, don't you talk to him like you treat a baby." ”
"Sister, you just said that the baby's big name is Gong Guanzhe, and you can't call him a nickname anymore in the future," Gong Yalei, who had already shifted his attention from the snow scene outside the window to the nephew who was only more than two years old, but was already like a 'little adult', and the nephew sitting in the back seat of the flying car said with a smile: "Why did I forget it now." …,
You see that as soon as you talk about the baby, the baby will be unhappy, and you want to call him Guanzhe, Gong Guanzhe..."
Meaningless and boring conversations, but with a special taste of family affection, Gong Yaming looked at the laughing expressions of the family members around him, and a long-lost sense of tranquility rose in his heart.
"Meijing, my father-in-law's house has arrived, you guys are ready to get out of the car." After entering the downtown area of Hening, he turned a few corners of the block, and drove a flying car slowly down in front of a high-end residential area, and Gong Boxin said loudly without looking back.
"Yaming, remember that it is your eldest uncle who has gray hair, the second uncle and second aunt who are about the same age as your mother, and the younger ones are your third uncle and little aunt..."
In the earth where the population is close to saturation, although a single-family 3-story villa is old, but the value can be imagined, get off the flying car, point to the exquisite residence in front of you that covers an area of about 200 square meters, and has a small garden, Gong Yamei said jokingly to Gong Yaming: "Brother, I didn't expect my mother to be a rich child before, right?" ”
The villa in front of him was not as big as the main fountain in the courtyard of his palace and castle, and Lord Yabo smiled indifferently and said softly: "Yes, Yamei, our grandfather's house is indeed good. ”
"Don't be modest, your residence in Haijing City must be even better than here," Gong Yami pouted and said sarcastically, "The life of a C-class professional explorer must be very luxurious and nourishing. ”
Gong Yaming smiled and didn't speak, followed behind his parents, and walked towards the gate of the villa not far away...
When the flying car landed, the door of the villa had already opened, and several middle-aged men and women greeted them, it was Xun Meijing's brother Xun Guling and his wife Zhong Ling; the second brother Xun Gujun and his wife Zhang Yafang; Sister Xun Meijia and Xun Meizhen.
When Xun Meijing approached, Xun Meijia and Xun Meizhen immediately hugged her and greeted her in a low voice.
"Happy New Year, big uncle, second uncle, second aunt, second aunt, second aunt, little aunt." Gong Yaguang, Yang Yaxuan, Gong Yamei, and Gong Yalei, who were following Xun Meijing, greeted the elders in unison.
A beat slower than their voices, Gong Yaming followed with a smile in the same way.
Xun Guling was a tall and cold old man, and when the other brothers and sisters were smiling and greeting the juniors who had come from afar, he had already looked at Gong Yaming and said, "You are Mei Jing's second son Gong Yaming, a federal C-level professional explorer?" ”
It's been a long time since anyone put on such a self-proclaimed expression in front of him, Gong Yaming was slightly stunned, and said with a dumb smile: "Yes, I am Gong Yaming." His tone was flat, with little respect for taste.
"Ya Ming, you are Ya Ming," Xun Gujun on the side heard Gong Yaming's cold answer to his brother's question, and hurriedly staggered the topic and said, "I am your second uncle Xun Gujun."
Yameen, you are the pride of your parents, a C-class professional explorer of the Federation, and it is not easy for you to achieve such an achievement at your level. ”
Hearing Xun Gujun's praise, Gong Yaming just said, "You have won the award, second uncle." He stopped talking, or didn't know what to say, so he stood quietly in the cold wind.
After talking a few words at the door, Xun Gujun beckoned everyone into the villa...
On the first floor of the villa, apart from the bathroom and a small kitchen on the island, only the living room remains.
a ceiling with prismatic crystal chandeliers; Tapestries hung on three sides, and a wall with a roaring fireplace was dug out on one side; The beige plush carpet floor and the elegant layout in the spacious living room made Gong Yaming, who felt warm, feel that the interior of this villa was slightly better than its ordinary appearance.
While he was thinking wildly, an old man with the help of a nurse came to the living room from the second floor in a 'floating chair', a medical device that only patients who have lost the ability to walk. …,
The old man was naturally Xun Meijing's father, Xun Wuning, the former chief judge of Hening City, and when he saw him coming down, Xun Meijing hurriedly stepped forward, stroked the back of his skinny hand, and asked with red concern in his eyes: "Dad, have you felt better recently?" ”
"It's much better, Meijing, don't worry, Dad feels much better after breaking through that ghost gate." The old man raised his hand with difficulty, touched the face of the eldest daughter, and said with a smile.
It's hard to imagine that this old man, who now looks kind, once cut off relations with his daughter for decades because of such things as free love.
When Grandpa came, the children naturally came forward to greet him, Gong Yaming followed his brother, sister-in-law, younger brother and sister to Grandpa's side and said in unison: "Grandpa has a good New Year, I wish you good health, good luck and peace." This sentence was specially explained by her mother Xun Meijing.
Nodding kindly, Xun Wuning's face twitched, and he smiled happily and said, "Okay, good, seeing you, grandpa will have a good New Year."
Lishi, Lishi is for you, and I wish you success in your studies and success in your career. ”
As he spoke, he shuddered and picked up a few red envelopes from the metal box embedded in the handle of the floating chair and handed them out to his grandchildren one by one.
When it was sent to Gong Yaming, the old man found that the slightly fat and weak young man in front of him seemed to have never seen it, hesitated for a while, and asked Xun Meijing: "Meijing, this is also your child, he, is he Gong Yaming?" ”
Seeing that her father, who used to be cold, tough, and amazingly intelligent, was now not confused, but was unusually sluggish and senile, Xun Meijing felt sad for a while, she held back her tears, nodded and said, "Yes Dad, this is your grandson Gong Yaming who has not yet met."
Two years ago, he was a federal C-class professional explorer, and he was very promising, like, just like you were back then. As she spoke, tears finally flowed, and she hurriedly turned her head and quietly wiped them away.
