Chapter 13
Lunar New Year's eve.
The quiet town in the past has become particularly lively, with the sound of 'cracking' firecrackers and the sound of children laughing and fighting everywhere.
Grandma is gone this year, and Song Xiang celebrates the New Year alone. She feels a bit cold during the New Year alone, but watching TV and listening to the continuous sound of firecrackers outside, she also feels less deserted.
When she got up in the morning, Song Xiang first took out her mobile phone and sent blessings to her close friends. She slid through the address book and saw Uncle Song's family and Uncle Song in the note. any reply.
Song Xiang didn't care, and used the cooked rice soup to paste couplets on the inside and outside of the house, and pasted the word "Fu" on the door.
After pasting up the couplets, Song Xiang imitated his grandmother's habits in the past few years and prepared ten dishes, hoping for perfection. There were chicken, duck and fish in them, which were very rich.
After the meal was ready, Song Xiang took two sets of bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table, one for grandma and one for her. She wanted grandma to come back and accompany her to eat New Year's dinner together, as eating alone was not delicious at all.
But grandma can't come back anymore, Song Xiang can only eat the New Year's dinner in silence, and after eating, he quietly packs up the dishes, and then moves a bench to sit at the door of the small shop, looking at the shop in the sun .
Every year at the end of the year, there is not much snow in Lushan Town, the sun is shining brightly, the weather is very good, and it is warm and comfortable on the body.
After lunch, other families moved benches and tables to the side of the street to start playing cards. Some people went out for a walk, climbed the deer mountain, or went out for a visit.
Grandma Fang asked across the street: "Song Xiang, have you eaten?
"
"Happy New Year to you too." The Fang family replied politely, then turned their heads back to the house and whispered, "Song Xiang spent the New Year at home alone? Why didn't the eldest and second son of the Song family ask her to come over?" What about Chinese New Year?"
"People in the Song family have always been dissatisfied with Mrs. Song's adoption of her, and those who have gone to the Song family will definitely not want to associate with her." Grandma Fang whispered, "Don't talk and go to her and ask. "
"We don't have such a big mouth."
...
Song Xiang sat quietly at the door of the shop and played with her mobile phone, chatting with Zhang Jiajia and the others in the "cooked rice group", occasionally raising her head to get a snack or something for the children Find change.
"Sister Xiangxiang, I want two packs of spicy strips." A chubby man ran over with five yuan.
Song Xiang took a look at Xiao Pangdun, "You have already bought spicy sticks twice today, are you afraid of spoiling your stomach?
" The packaged hot strips came out, "Sister Xiangxiang will give you the money."
Song Xiang took the money and put it in the drawer, then found a change of one yuan, "Why didn't your sister come to buy it by herself?"
"My sister is a daughter Miss, I just lie on the bobo bed and don’t go out when I get home.” The little fat man chuckled, “My sister gave me five dollars, and I can still earn one dollar, which is a good deal.”
Song Xiang couldn’t help laughing, “You You're really smart."
"It's alright." Little Pang Dun moved closer to Song Xiang, staring at her mobile phone, "Sister Xiangxiang, are you chatting with your boyfriend?"
Song Xiang said softly: "No."
Xiaopangdun looked at Song Xiang in surprise, "Sister doesn't have a boyfriend yet?"
Song Xiang hummed, "What's wrong?"
Xiaopangdun looked disgusted, "You are not as good as me, I will pay you I've had five girlfriends."
Song Xiang smiled, "You are indeed very good."
"Of course." The little fat man didn't stay for a long time after speaking, turned around and ran towards his home.
In the afternoon, I received many guests one after another, until it got dark and earned a thousand yuan. The main source was that many adults came to buy drinks, firecrackers and fireworks, so I made more money.
After dark, people who bought small fireworks during the day set them off on the side of the street. The fireworks were sprayed to a height of more than three meters, and the fire was brilliant, and the beauty remained unchanged.
If you bought big fireworks that soared to the sky, go to a relatively wide place in the center of the town to set them off. The fireworks flew into the sky with a whistling sound, and exploded in the air at once, colorful sparks, gorgeous and colorful.
People in the small town can see the fleeting and beautiful fireworks as long as they walk on the street. Everyone took pictures to keep everything beautiful.
The little assistant looked at this scene puzzled, "Host, the interstellar holographic cabin can call out fireworks at any time, allowing people to touch the fireworks immersively. It is N times more beautiful than this one. The host speeds up the progress of the transformation. In the future, the holographic cabin can be purchased anytime, anywhere. Watch the fireworks."
Song Xiang replied: "That's different." The
little assistant didn't understand, "What's the difference?"
Song Xiang replied: "The times are different, everyone likes different things, just like the people here I think the fireworks set off during the Chinese New Year are beautiful, and you will think that plants are very precious.”
The assistant is a machine and a program, even if it is set to anthropomorphic emotions, it still does not understand the complex emotions of humans.
Song Xiang sighed in his heart, "Forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you." The
little assistant twisted the remote control car, "I understand." "I understand,
but I don't want to tell you." Song Xiang watched the fireworks It's over, I went back to the small shop, closed the door and went to the future town.
I watered the planted vegetables and trees, and scooping up the water and running back and forth was also very busy. I wondered if I could get a special water pump. She thought of her thoughts and told the little assistant who followed.
The little assistant living in the remote control car said: "If necessary, the host can adjust the weather pattern in the defense network to rain in a small area."
Song Xiang was almost stung by a mouthful of old blood, "...Why didn't you say it earlier?" Thanks to her hard work every day fetching water and watering vegetables.
The little assistant is very innocent: "The host didn't ask."
"...You just pretend to be me." Song Xiang gave the little assistant an angry look. It is not reliable at all to say that half is hidden and half is hidden.
Song Xiang asked the little assistant, "How do I do it?" The
little assistant brought up the control interface of the defense network, which was convenient for Song Xiang to operate. She studied it for a while, and after clicking OK, she saw that the sky gradually became cloudy, and two minutes later the sky was drizzling It began to rain lightly.
The light rain fell into the vegetable field to moisten the land, irrigate the vegetable seedlings and trees, and after the soil was thoroughly watered, the man-made light rain gradually stopped.
Song Xiang looked at the wet soil. Although the environment here is not very good, I have to say that the interstellar technology is really good.
"Little assistant, look, my vegetable seedlings are growing really well. You don't need to pick them for Hal to eat. You can pick them all and sell them." When Hal was mentioned, Song Xiang couldn't help but start thinking about that little guy who is arrogant but can endure hardships , "I don't know if Hal is back home now."
Hal who was being read is currently having a class in a holographic cabin in a high-level suite on a starship. After class, he went to the virtual street. Take a break, an advertisement is playing on the super big screen in the street.
The two tall women next to me looked at the advertising screen: "Look, the restaurant in the sky has released a retro dish made of plants, let's go and have a look?
" Tasting mode, if we open it, we don’t need to go to the physical restaurant to make an appointment and line up for dinner.”
Hal looked at the advertisement of the restaurant in the sky on the advertising screen, and curled the corner of his mouth in disgust, “This picture is very bitter and unpalatable.”
The two women glanced back at Hal, "What do you know? The Castle in the Sky is the only restaurant in the entire interstellar that occasionally uses plants to make retro dishes. It is said that they are ancient earth civilization dishes obtained from archaeologists. Everyone wants to eat them." Can’t eat it .”
“That’s right, you haven’t eaten it, what do you know? Plants are bitter and astringent, this is the authentic retro dish.”
Hal didn’t expect the two to target him, “Who said I did n’t eat it? Have you ever eaten? Not only have I eaten, but I have also eaten plants that are not sweet." The
woman snorted, "Everyone in the interstellar world knows that plants are bitter and bitter, so you have to be decent when you make up lies."
"I'm not lying." Hal ate only plants and sweets.
"Children like to lie so much, go offline and go to school." The woman directly clicked the underage supervision button, and Hal was kicked out by the system.
Hal angrily crawled out of the holographic cabin, "What broken system, you are not a human if you are underage?"
Hal walked out unhappily, when he heard movement from his uncle's room as soon as he left the room, he pushed open the door, I saw Gu Mo sitting on the sofa struggling with his head in pain, making low growls from time to time.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Hal opened the door and walked in, anxiously pulling Gu Mo's sleeve, "Go into the medical cabin and stay for a while."
Gu Mo suppressed his head that was about to explode, gritted his teeth and said: "Hal, get out."
Hal looked at Gu Mo's temples that were throbbing with pain, and vaguely guessed that it was the cause of the mental violence, "Uncle, I'm going to find a doctor."
Gu Mo closed his eyes and gritted his teeth : "Don't let people know, I'll be fine in a while."
Hal: "But..."
Gu Mo reached out and touched Hal's head, "It's really fine."
Interstellar humans have evolved spiritual power in response to the changes of the times. They can control mechs to fight and suppress other people. However, frequent use of mental power will lead to mental breakdown. The higher the level of mental power, the more serious it is, and it cannot be cured for life. Some people help to sort out in time.
If there is no person from the healing department to help sort it out for a long time, the mental power will completely collapse over time, and eventually face death.
Gu Mo's symptoms are only in the early stages, and he only needs the help of people from the healing department to sort them out in time, so there won't be any major problems.
Hal looked at Gu Mo worriedly, "Uncle..."
Gu Mo clenched his back molars tightly, and blood slowly overflowed from his lips, "It's really fine, it will be fine in a while."
"Uncle... ..." Hal wanted to go to the doctor, but his uncle forbade him to go, so what should he do?
Hal racked his brains thinking that he should help his uncle relieve the pain, and suddenly he thought of candy. Every time he thought of his mother feeling uncomfortable, he would just eat a piece of candy, and he went to get candy for his uncle.
Hal ran back to his room and searched through boxes and cabinets for a long time but couldn't find any candy. Why isn't there even a single candy here?
Hal hesitated and wanted to go out and ask other people for sugar. At this time, his eyes fell on the cabbage he took from A77. This is sweet after cooking, and it should be effective if he cooks it for his uncle to drink.
When Hal finished cooking, Gu Mo had already endured the mental turmoil, and walked out with a pale face, looking at Hal with a bowl of green soup in his hand, "Hal, what are you doing?"
Hal He brought the soup to Gu Mo who had recovered a lot, "Uncle, drink this, it will make you feel better after drinking this sweet."
Gu Mo glanced at the green vegetable leaf soup, "Where did you get the plants?"
" There are no real objects on that waste planet, Song Xiang ate them, and I brought them with me when I went back to get things." Hal urged Gu Mo to drink this vegetable soup, "This is not bitter, but sweet."
Gu Mo didn't expect that there were plants on that abandoned star. No wonder the food cost half a million stars. Plants are very precious, and Gu Mo didn't plan to drink them. "Uncle doesn't drink it, Hal will drink it.
" It’s still delicious, and you’ll feel better after drinking it.” Hal insisted that Gu Mo drink it.
Gu Mo couldn't help but take a sip of the plant soup cooked by Hal. He felt a little strange after tasting it. The taste of this plant soup was different from the ones he had eaten before. It tasted sweet and delicious.
Look at it, Hal Looking at his uncle, his brows relaxed, "Uncle, do you feel better?"
Gu Mo glanced at Hal who was looking at him expectantly, and felt much better, "Much better."
Hal secretly breathed a sigh of relief "It's true to eat a little sweet when you're sad. Then I still have some plants for uncle to eat."
Gu Mo didn't think it was because of eating sweet plants, so he raised his hand and rubbed Hal's golden hair, " Hal kept it for himself."
