"Hey, buddy, what are you thinking?"

A corporal sitting next to An Kang patted An Kang's breastplate, tilted his head sideways and said to An Kang with a smile.

An Kang paused for a moment, then smirked with a somewhat happy expression and lowered his head to look at the jujube kernel-shaped pendant hanging on his chest: "I'm thinking about my daughter, and I don't know if she gets along well with her classmates, it should be fine." ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Ankang still decided to send Xiaoxue to the first grade of elementary school, and temporarily entrusted Xiaoxue to the care of Miss Wang Zhaojun, who was a volunteer in a welfare home and was actually the director of a company.

At that time, the scene was somewhat embarrassing.

When An Kang said that he was thinking about his daughter, the corporal next to him had a ghostly expression on his face and exclaimed to An Kang in a very exaggerated tone: "Daughter? Oh my God, buddy, how old are you... I apologize first, because maybe you don't like to be asked about your age. ”

This kind of very straightforward European and American discourse is actually not particularly annoying, most of the time, but this time he was not in a bad mood, so he replied very politely: "19." ”

“OhWhatthehell…”

"I'll go..."

"What the hell..."

….

And so on and so forth. Because the voice of the buddy who was sitting next to An Kang before was too loud, all the soldiers who were idle and bored in the cabin were paying more or less attention to this conversation, so when they heard that An Kang was only "nineteen" years old and had a daughter, everyone in the cabin had a "day dog" or a surprised expression. Their exclamations were not loud, but they came and went.

"Hey buddy, well, I didn't expect someone to have a child so early, oh, I definitely didn't mean to discriminate." He really didn't mean to discriminate, and Ankang could really feel it, and now the corporal was just plain extremely surprised.

After all, in this year, a person can easily live to more than 100 years old, and the effective life expectancy has more than doubled.

Of course, this also has something to do with the high welfare system of human beings, but it is also an important factor. Although the UN government has been encouraging childbearing, in fact, the effect is not very great, and it is very early to have children in their thirties. (In fact, many young mothers with children on the street are actually in their thirties and forties or even higher, because the improvement of effective life is actually the aging of **, which has been delayed by high technology in modern times.) ）

An Kang, who also knew about this, didn't care very much, but he remembered that when he went to go through Xiaoxue's elementary school enrollment procedures a few days ago, the shocked expressions of the school staff were exactly the same as the buddy sitting next to him now, and even the main control AI of the elementary school (a retired battleship senior AI) was also shocked. (Visible through virtual images)

"Actually, it's an adopted daughter."

"Oooh! It's an adopted daughter!? There were bursts of exclamations and lewd laughter around him, and the buddy next to An Kang was also the kind of person who made a lewd smile.

Ankang punched him and said angrily to the guys who were coaxing in the cabin: "6 years old" Ankang paused for a moment, "War orphans-." You know, you don't have the government's new preferential adoption law? ”

"I'm sorry, buddy."

"I'm sorry..."

…

…

When An Kang said that Xiaoxue was now six years old, he could feel that everyone was not smiling lewdly, it seemed that there was no such "gentleman" in this group of people, and when he said that Xiaoxue was a war orphan, the atmosphere in the entire cabin was silent instantly, and the original cheerfulness seemed to disappear all at once.

Ankang knows that this is because all the soldiers in this transport plane are members of the Planetary Defense Force of the solar system.

However, because Ankang could feel the sudden decline in the atmosphere, he quickly added a paragraph at the end to reopen the topic.

"Ah, that, my parents didn't agree so they donated some money...."

"Well, my family is about the same, so I donated some money...."

"My uncle in the New York Army did adopt a child, but I don't know very well because he moved his family to the Southern Cross after he was discharged."

"I've been to see it, but the little ones don't like me very much..."

….

….

Because of the beginning of such a topic, the awkward and cold atmosphere only lasted for a short time, and everyone gradually chatted again.

"Thank you, buddy." The corporal sitting next to An Kang turned his head to the side and whispered to An Kang: "It's all my fault for being cheap, letting you say this kind of thing, and the atmosphere was cold just now." Introduce yourself, Bam Mandela. 23 years old, just entered the military this year. ”

With that, he stretched out his hand. An Kang shook hands with him: "Hello, my name is An Kang, safe An, healthy Kang, I also joined the army this year." Because Bam also used Chinese when he introduced himself before, Ankang naturally answered in Chinese.

After shaking hands, Ankang took a closer look at Bam - he was also a very handsome young man, with brown skin, a resolute face, crisp flaxen hair, and a figure that he couldn't see clearly because he was wearing thick power armor, but a soldier wouldn't be too fat these days. All in all, what kind of handsome guy is of mixed race?,It's just that the personality seems to be a little jumpy.。

After a few minutes of talking to Bam and the surrounding circle of soldiers, a holographic projection at the front of their module showed that they had arrived at their destination: the Perseus Cantilevered Frontier System, the moon of Corunna, the first star of the Corunna star system.

The large transports carrying them are now heading to the anchorage of the artificial rings of the planet Kuronna, where the soldiers on board will disembark for the departure of the Seventh Expedition.

At this moment, the ship's exterior armor began to move to the side, allowing the crew members in the crew compartments on both sides of the ship to view the universe through the viewing portholes.

"No matter what time it is, it's very exciting to see these warships."

Rarely, Bam, who was lying on the side of the porthole, did not speak in a jumpy tone.

Cheers and whistles could be heard in the engine room, because the transport they were on was flying side by side with other convoy ships and civilian ships towards the Cullenna.

The carrier-based aircraft group flying out of the aircraft carrier flew over in formation, and the aircraft carrier formation was pushed to the top of the atmosphere.
