71. Isn't it too urgent?
In the days that followed, Ankang swept through various commercial centers and supermarkets with light snow.
After completely decorating the home, Ankang, who was idle, suddenly felt that he didn't know what to do.
There is still a month and 20 days of vacation, which can be described as very abundant. The young daughter of the family is very sensible, and now in addition to being responsible for Xiaoxue's three meals a day, she accompanies Xiaoxue to run and exercise in the morning and tells her a short story before going to bed. In addition, Xiaoxue is very independent, and usually reads quietly or watches TV.
What a perfect daughter!
The only thing that worries Ankang is Xiaoxue's dating problem, after all, children must not be too withdrawn! That won't be too good for their future character, especially since Xiaoxue is still a child who has been traumatized by the war.
So Ankang seems to have found a new direction in life.
At first, Ankang was thinking about kindergarten, but after thinking about it, Xiaoxue was only six years old, so there was no need to go to kindergarten so early, and there was still a year for her to play.
Feeling that this was not the way to go, Ankang began to wander around his neighborhood, and began to pay attention to the people and things in the community, and visited the neighborhood with gifts.
In general, it is a very peaceful community, and according to Ankang's observation and visits for several days, it is known that most of the people living in this community are military dependents, and the houses in this community themselves belong to the benefits of the army to soldiers. The soldiers who were given this benefit came from different places, and they were not limited to the New Hangzhou Planetary Defense Force, but all of them belonged to the Orion Cantilever Planet Defense Force, and it was still a little inconvenient if it was too far away. (Note 1)
However, this is also one of the reasons for the high vacancy rate, many people will only come when they are on vacation, and more people have more and better properties in many places with their families.
So when Ankang and Xiaoxue just moved over, this community was so quiet, not because the neighborhood was very indifferent or welcoming, but because there were too few people.
When Ankang took Xiaoxue to visit everywhere in the past few days, all the families were very enthusiastic, and they all returned gifts worth several times Ankang, which made Ankang sigh again that the wealth of the families of the Planet Defense Force soldiers was really terrifying.
And finally on the 12th day, the people of the community gathered and thought about it and decided to hold a welcome celebration for Ankang and Xiaoxue.
The scene was really scary, when Ankang came back from shopping for groceries, he found that many people were in front of his house, and there were long tables on both sides of the road in front of his house, which stretched for 300 meters and were full of all kinds of food.
Everyone seems to think of it as a festival or something, and some people even have temporary stalls selling food and small handicrafts.
Dozens of Planetary Defense Force soldiers on leave gathered around the door of Ankang's house to carry a huge cake with the words "Celebrating the arrival of a new neighbor" written on it.
Frightened, Xiaoxue ran to the second floor to hide in the quilt and didn't dare to move, and finally Ankang ran up to comfort Xiaoxue and hugged her down, and the activity reached the climax of the young girl cutting the cake.
A six-year-old girl carried a machete similar to her and chopped it at the big cake, the scene was so beautiful that Ankang was very nervous, for fear that Xiaoxue would be cut by the big knife, and standing next to Xiaoxue to help was not helping.
However....
"Ah, Donnie, you're leaving?"
Ankang, who went out for a walk because he was idle, saw a family across the two roads carrying luggage to the hovercar with the help of a housekeeping robot.
This family of four people, the man's name is Donnie Bryan, is a soldier of the Army of another galaxy planet defense force, he is taking his family to travel around for two months, and in the last half a month, he took his wife and two children to live in New Hangzhou for half a month because he wanted to leave all his time to his family.
Looks like they're leaving...
Two boys and girls about Sang Xue's age, the children of Donnie and his wife, were playing on the side of the road while they waited for their elders and robots to finish carrying their luggage.
Hearing Ankang's greeting, Donnie, who was carrying a bag of children's dolls, put his things in the car and walked over with a smile to give Ankang a hug.
"Yes, Ann, pleasant holidays are always so short, I'm going back to my station for the time being, and my child's kindergarten is about to start, so we have to take tonight's flight back to Ann Annette (an EU colony more than 3,700 light-years away from New Hangzhou). Come, children, and say goodbye to Uncle Ankang. ”
"Hello uncle! Goodbye uncle~! ”x2
"Haha, uncle..."
When he saw Ankang coming, the two brothers and sisters of the Brian family trotted over and stood behind their father, so Donnie smiled and moved the two little ones in front of him with his arms.
"Donnie! Everything is ready~! Downey's wife, a beautiful white lady, came out of the house and greeted her husband, but she also saw the well-being and smiled and shook her hand.
"Yes, I'm sorry, if it was usual, I should have invited you to our house for a cup of coffee, but you also saw that we were leaving." Mrs. Brian said very embarrassed and Ankang.
"It's okay, it's okay!" An Kang hurriedly said that he didn't care.
"I'll say hello to cute Xiaoxue in that generation!"
"Ann, remember to say hello to Xiaoxue on my behalf." After his wife finished speaking, Donnie, who was holding his two children, also said to An Kang with a smile.
"Well, yes, I wish you peace."
After saying goodbye to Ankang, Donnie Bryan and his family left the community in a hovercar.
On the way back, Ankang also noticed such a thing, that is, the housing vacancy rate in this community is high, and the population flow is also very frequent, not that a large number of people flow through this community, and the people themselves are not very many, but most of them just come for vacation, and they are not fixed.
This doesn't seem to be conducive to the purpose of making friends with Xiaoxue.
"Ahh
Back home, Ankang saw Xiaoxue reading quietly alone in the study, and went downstairs to sit on the sofa and turn on the TV. Although Xiaoxue is very good, it's not good not to make friends.
[Could it be that I'm too anxious? 】
So thinking about Ankang, he was bored watching all kinds of "boring" programs on TV.
"....The sit-in demonstration of the Green Universe Environment Organization, which began in the early hours of yesterday morning, began in the square in front of the new Hangzhou UN government building, let us contact the reporter in front..."
