Chapter 64: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival of 2014 is approaching, and Wu Ruize and Mila also returned to their hometown in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River from Beijing because of the school holiday.
Because of Summer's bizarre disappearance, it has been ruled dead and the household registration has been cancelled, and Xia's father and mother have also received 300,000 compensation from the relevant departments of the laboratory. The "death" of summer is very uncomfortable for everyone, but after a long time, people can accept this cruel fact.
On January 30, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Xia family's parents and the three members of the Mi family had a New Year's dinner together in the villa that the Xia family had just purchased. In the summer, not only did my parents buy a villa, but they also bought an apartment in the city to make it easier for them to commute to work. Not only that, but he also asked Wu Ruize to hire six skilled kung fu security guards to work 24-hour shifts to secretly protect his parents.
Wu Ruize is the chairman and CEO of the company, and Mira is the major shareholder and vice president and CEO of the overseas company. The overseas company will be opened with Mila Study Ivy League in the future.
In fact, the company is a shell company, except for doing some irrelevant and unprofitable international trade, the rest is to idle a group of intellectuals and security personnel. Employees don't know what the specific nature of the company is, but fortunately, the salary is high and the benefits are good, so they don't ask.
But it was said that Xia's father and Xia's mother had cooked a table of good dishes, and the big screen on the wall projected Summer's influence in the Shuguang 2 command module. The dishes in front of summer are also very "hearty": fried diced chicken, fried chicken thighs, rice flour chicken, shredded potatoes, fried water spinach leaves, fried water spinach stalks, tomatoes mixed with sugar, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scrambled eggs with garlic, chicken broth.
This is also limited by the conditions, the meat is only like chicken, and the vegetables are only potatoes, garlic, tomatoes and water spinach. Although the material workshop can synthesize food, he still prefers natural food in the summer.
Father Xia raised his glass and said, "It's the Awakening Plan that allows our two families to come together, so I suggest that this first cup be for Zheng Zu."
There are statues of Zheng He on the front walls of the living room and dining room, and the five people face the statue of Zheng He and put the wine in their cups on the ground.
After the sacrifice, Father Xia said with a little excitement: "Our secret guards have been scattered in the world for nearly six hundred years, and they are not interconnected. I didn't expect that my Xia Lei Department and your Blue Power Department would be able to meet, and the children of the two families have a good impression of each other, and it is really not easy for them to come together. So my husband and wife want to pay tribute to my in-laws, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, thank you for giving us such a good daughter-in-law. ”
Xia's father and summer mother both stood with wine glasses, and Mi's father also stood up, but Mi's mother was still sitting, holding her hands, her head twisted to the side and her face darkened. Mi's father gently tugged her arm and whispered, "Milan, you get up, your in-laws are toasting." After shouting several times, Mira whispered begging from the side.
Mi Mu waved her hand and motioned for Xia's father and wife to sit down, and said, "Old Xia, let's not say that the two children are only 18 years old, and they are not yet the legal age of marriage. If these two people can live on the earth, as long as they are in love, I don't care what age, family, looks, or education they are. But now, your son is not on Earth, tens of thousands of light years away from us! ”
Father Xia and the two sat back down, and Father Xia corrected in a low voice: "It's not tens of thousands of light years, it's only three light years, three light years."
"Old Xia, Brother Xia, is there any difference between three light years and ten thousand light years for us?"
"Mom, aren't I going too?" Mira whispered.
"Shut up!" Mi Mu said angrily, "The most annoying thing is that you little white-eyed wolf!" I've raised you for 18 years in vain, and if you say you're leaving, you're going to leave, and this walk is tens of thousands of light years! Not coming back for the rest of my life. How do you say you let me and your dad live for the rest of my life? Mi Mu cried as she spoke.
Mira also cried and said, "I'm sorry Mom, it's all Lala's bad." ”
The scene was embarrassed for a while, and Father Xia said: "Sister, you also know that you and I are both descendants of the secret guard, and Zheng Zu instructed us back then, we stayed for the revival plan, and the necessary sacrifices were inevitable." We must not disobey our ancestors. ”
"What bullshit ancestral training, what bullshit awakening plan?" The more Mi Mu spoke, the more excited she became, "It's been hundreds of years, and three dynasties have changed!" I don't want any great plans, I just want our family to be safe and healthy. ”
The two families made an appointment to have a New Year's dinner together, but unexpectedly, before the New Year's dinner started, Mi Mu made it difficult, which made everyone very embarrassed. Summer thought about it, it seems that at this time, you have to play yourself, otherwise you don't know how to break this deadlock.
"Auntie," said Summer, "Mira is a very, very good girl, and you know that better than any of us. ”
"Needless to say!" Mi Mu said.
"The universe, this great and vast stage," said Summer, "should be performed by the best people." I'm just a mediocre talent in the summer, I can barely stand up, and for someone as good as Mira, ten times as good as me, the universe is the stage of her life. And this opportunity is right now, Auntie, will you let it go by in vain? Let Mira be buried under the big stage of the universe? Do you think that's fair to Mira? ”
Before Mi Mu could speak, Xia continued: "The earth is just a cage in the universe, and living on the earth is living in a cage. Mira, who can fully aspire to the vast universe, but you let her succumb to the big cage of the earth? ”
"Yes, yes," Father Xia continued, "the earth will be destroyed sooner or later, so many nuclear weapons, serious pollution, and depletion of resources. Wouldn't it be a good thing to let our children leave the earth early? ”
Mi's father didn't speak on the side, but sighed from time to time, after all, Mira was his own daughter, and he was very reluctant. Mira comforted and begged her mother that as long as her mother agreed, her matter would be settled.
"It's not that I don't know what you're saying," Mi Mu said with a sigh, "but I just can't get past the psychological level." ”
Xia Mu smiled and took Mi Mu's hand and said: "Sister, you are right, I knew that our family went to the universe and could not come back for the rest of my life, and I felt very uncomfortable, but after a long time, I got used to it and accepted the facts." And you see, although Tian'er can't be around us, we can meet all the time, which is very convenient. ”
Everyone finally persuaded Mi Mu to be good, and it can be regarded as having a friendly meal for the next year, and in the New Year's dinner, the relationship between the two families was determined. Wu Ruize made a video call to greet everyone in his early years.
After the meal, listening to the sound of firecrackers from time to time around her, Mi Mu stood on the balcony with headphones on. The others were far from bothering her, and Mi Mu was talking to her future son-in-law through the Heaven and Earth connection at the moment.
A summer voice came from the headphones: "Auntie, don't worry, I will give Mira happiness!" I promise. ”
