Chapter 2 Farm Children


He is very handsome and has a slightly beaten look.
People always want to pinch their cheeks when they see a cute baby, and they always want to rub a few times when they see a small furry animal. It is said that this is called compensation psychology, so he is so handsome. , those who see him always want to beat him hard to make up for the gap in his heart.

Yuan Miyu When Miss Yuan saw him for the first time, she had such an urge in her heart, she wanted to grab the thick and unruly hair and toss it arbitrarily, of course she would be merciful and never lose one.

It was at a large party, all of whom were friends of friends, and it was very lively.

Miss Yuan immediately asked her friends about the man's name and origin. She had a strong premonition that this would be a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and whether the final result was good or bad, it would change her destiny.

After only asking three friends, Miss Yuan got the information she wanted, and she was surprised but proud to find that the other party seemed to be inquiring about her too.

The man's surname is Mei, his name is Qianzhong, the important one, not the repeated one, is a meteorological surveyor -- no one knows what this profession does, and they don't care, they only care that he is in a group of people. How dazzling.

Mei Qianzhong is the kind of natural focus person. Even if he just stands somewhere blankly and looks around, he will attract a lot of admiration or jealousy. He has long been accustomed to it, as comfortable as a fish returning to the water.

In addition to name and occupation, Miss Yuan also found out that he has no public partner at present. For her, this is enough. She decides to start immediately, because there are many potential competitors.

Miss Yuan is a principled person, so she went to her current boyfriend first, interrupted his rhetoric, dragged him out of the circle of men, and said calmly, "I have thought about it carefully, we are not suitable, or Let's break up, I wish you happiness, goodbye."

The boyfriend didn't react and stood there. After a while, he would get angry and might act uncomfortably. Miss Yuan was not afraid, because the so-called uncoolness was probably crying in public. Threatening, embarrassing.

Before her boyfriend's embarrassment affected her, Miss Yuan smiled as a sign of consolation, then turned away, picked up a glass of wine as she passed the bar, and walked towards the dazzling jewel without the slightest hesitation or timidity, let alone Consider what would happen if you were rejected.

She never encountered "rejection".

This is an electric and flint-like love. Neither side tried to hide their hearts, and they hit it off. When the party was about to end, the two had fallen into the trap of loving each other. In the eyes of most people, they are a couple Model couples, who have been in contact for a long time, are worthy of blessings.

Only Miss Yuan's ex-boyfriend couldn't accept the fact immediately, and fell into a girl's arms, sobbing and berating his ex-girlfriend for being ruthless and shameless.

Ms. Yuan and Mr. Mei are in love. According to her, this is the first time that she has truly given her true feelings. In the past, it was just to relieve loneliness. Mr. Mei did not say it so absolutely, but every word and every move was full of thickness. love, as if she was everything.

In addition to going to work, the two are tired of being together all the time, and the flame of love is burning higher and higher, and there will be no end in sight for a while.

A month later—there was only one month, Miss Yuan said she was surprised because she thought the two had known each other for several years—Mei Qianzhong invited Yuan Miyu to see her family and wish an elder a birthday.

This is an important and sensitive turning point, one that many men and women have not made, even after years of marriage.

Yuan Miyu agreed without thinking, and regretfully told Mei Qianzhong that she had no other family members, only him.

They gave up the fast plane, drove a small car, brought more than a dozen gifts, set out on the journey, and traveled to the mountains and rivers along the way. On a few whims, they went to the nearby scenic spots to find out.

Miss Yuan is always on a whim, and Mr. Mei never refuses, quickly re-planning to meet all her demands.

It took seven days for them to reach their destination, just in time for the birthday banquet the previous day.

This is also one of the things that Miss Yuan is very satisfied with Mr. Mei. No matter how many changes are added in the middle, no matter how random it seems, he can always arrange things in an orderly manner. The reserved accommodation will not fall.

Mr. Mei's hometown is a farm, Guangye Farm. Instead of crops, solar panels are grown here. From a distance, it looks like an endless blue ocean. When you drive closer, you can see the rows of solar panels. The path and grass in the middle of the light board.

"How big is the farm?" Miss Yuan asked in surprise. She grew up in the city and this is the first time to visit Guangye Farm.

"Nearly 10,000 square kilometers, half are power generation panels, and half are other facilities." Mr. Mei replied with a smile, not impatient, nor did he talk about those boring professional knowledge, which is the fault of many farm people, saying too much , instead curtailing visitors’ interest in the farm.

The car was parked on the side of the road, and Mr. Mei led Miss Yuan into the depths of the "Blue Ocean", walking hand in hand along the road. The scenery was monotonous, and neither of them felt bored.

The skin could not detect the blowing of the wind, but the roar of the wind kept going all the time. After getting used to it, the sound of the wind turned into a vast silence.

"I think we are like two small fish swimming in the sea." Miss Yuan said.

"Small fish, shorter than a finger." Mei Qianzhong gestured.

They met a team of maintenance staff, driving oddly-shaped vehicles, and someone in the distance stood up and waved his arms, calling out Mr. Mei's name, indicating that he was home.

Yuan Guangye Farm, also called a field, the residents here often proudly claim to outsiders that this is the first Guangye farm on the planet, decades before the name of "Zhai Wangxing".

The residential area occupies only a small area of the farm, and a main street runs through it. The layout is the same as that of a common small town, except that the houses are older, there are no high-rise buildings, at most three floors, and they are usually commercial places.

The population is less than 10,000 and they are all familiar with each other. Mr. Mei's car crawls slowly like a snail, because he has to greet too many people, sometimes he has to stop, get out of the car and shake hands, and then introduce Miss Yuan warmly.

In order to maintain her smile, Miss Yuan's face froze, but she was really happy to have the opportunity to integrate into Mr. Mei's life circle.

Early in the morning the next day, the two of them went to the old man's birthday together. According to the seniority, Mr. Mei wanted to call him great grandfather.

At least 200 people lined up for birthday prayers, from the front hall all the way to the courtyard, and the long queue circled several times.

Miss Yuan, who grew up in the city, had never experienced such a thing. She was worried, and her face showed an expression. Mr. Mei put his arms around her shoulders and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, it's very simple, just follow me. "

Sure enough, it's very simple. The great grandfather is so old that he has lost most of his body functions. He looks like a zombie and a puppet connected by springs. There was no change in expression.

Mr. Mei and Miss Yuan bowed three times, handed over the red envelopes, placed them on the coffee table in front of the great grandfather, and then stepped aside.

The real party had just begun. Only a small percentage of the family members lived on the farm. Like Mr. Mei, most of them came back from other places on purpose, one to pray for the old man's birthday, and the other to exchange feelings.

In the family, Mr. Mei is still the dazzling figure, and he can't be idle for a moment. When he is still in line, he often nods to others. After the birthday, as soon as he returns to the courtyard outside, he is surrounded by a group of young men and women. , talking non-stop, surrounded him to see other elders.

It was the first time that Miss Yuan felt left out since she met, but she was in a good mood and thought it was a farewell. Soon, he returned to her.

Miss Yuan waved to Mr. Mei in the distance, indicating that she was going out for a walk. Mr. Mei nodded with a smile, and immediately looked back, talking seriously with a woman beside her.

The woman is very young. Miss Yuan walked out of the door with a little jealousy, and soon returned to a happy mood. If she had any motto when she was young, it must be: everything belongs to the outside world, only the mood belongs to yourself, so be yourself Take good care of yourself.

In a small town that is close to each other, outsiders are even more lonely, so Ms. Yuan deliberately avoided the only main street in the town and walked in a more secluded place. Instead of looking at people, it was better to look at the scenery.

Except for the ocean-like power generation panels, the town has no special scenery, but it is different from the big city everywhere, which is quite interesting to Miss Yuan. For example, many houses here directly use the power generation panels as building materials and repaint them with other colors. And there are almost no signs, it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish where is a household and where is a shop.

Miss Yuan likes the tranquility and kindness of the small town, but she is determined that if she has to choose, she would rather give up Mr. Mei and go back to her "home". In that noisy and chaotic city, people are suddenly warm and indifferent. One night, drinking and crying, hugging her head and crying, and the next day she was a stranger. This was the life she wanted.

The path led her to the bank. The river was not wide, but the water looked deep. There were sparse trees planted on both sides, and the trees were overgrown with weeds. A vacant lot.

Miss Yuan strolled around and was quickly attracted by a scene on the other side of the river. It was a forest with tall and straight trees. The strange thing was that they were all dead trees and not a single green leaf.

"What's this?"

Miss Yuan asked herself, not expecting an answer, but a voice came out and told her, "This is the Creation Forest."

Miss Yuan was startled and looked at the sound. It turned out that the benches here were all back-to-back, facing the road and looking at the river. Just a few steps away, a man poked his head from the back of the chair to look at her.

The man was probably in his twenties, looking a little thin, with a bookish look on his face, as if he had not graduated from school.

This is not the type that Miss Yuan likes, and it is not the person she is afraid of, so she raised her head slightly, "What a big tone, Creation Forest."

The man stood up, he was really thin, and he was holding a rare paper book in his hand. Miss Yuan had only seen it before he was ten years old. He said, "Guangye Farm is still in the automatic operation stage, when human beings have not immigrated to Zhai Wangxing, In order to increase the oxygen content, the machine throws a large number of plant seeds and grows a large forest, so it is called the creation forest, because they arrived earlier than humans."

"Oh, then why is it withering again?"

"Because the oxygen is already enough, any more will be harmful, so humans destroyed most of the Creation Forest, some were shoveled clean, and some were left behind. The one on the other side is the second on this planet in terms of area. "

"Why keep the ruins? As a memorial?"

"No." The man walked around the bench without getting too close. "It is unnecessary to eradicate it. There is a lack of economic benefits. These trees are of poor quality, and the land after eradication is useless for the time being."

"You know a lot, what did you learn?"

"Major in history."

"No wonder, then you must know our planet very well?"

"Uh... I'm majoring in Earth history, and I don't know much about modern and contemporary history."

"Ha, is it because Zhai Wangxing has only three hundred years of history, isn't it enough for you to study?"

"After your reminder, it seems that this is the reason."

Both of them laughed. Miss Yuan walked to the bench, sat on one side, pointed to the other side, and motioned for the other side to sit down too.

The man sat on the other side, showing a bit of restraint. His mouth was able to talk freely, but his body was not so flexible.

Neither of the two had ready-made topics, and after ten seconds, the interesting encounter became uncomfortable. Miss Yuan missed Mr. Mei more, and with him, there would never be such a scene.

"Is it the first time for Miss Yuan to come to the farm?" The man finally asked.

"Do you recognize me?" Miss Yuan was a little surprised.

The man smiled and said, "We met. When we were celebrating my grandfather's birthday, I was a little behind you. The old man gave us an introduction."

Miss Yuan can't remember this scene at all, "I'm really sorry, there were too many people at that time..."

"Well, that's enough, and there will be more people coming to pay their respects." The man leaned slightly, handed the book to his left hand, and stretched out his right arm, "My name is Lu Linbei, hello Miss Yuan."

Miss Yuan touched her outstretched palm lightly and said with a smile, "Your family's surname is either Mei or Lu."

"Well, there are other surnames, but it's true that these two surnames are the most."

"What did you call him just now?"

"Lao Qian? Yes, we all call him Lao Qian. Here, the younger you are, the older you are."

"So, what about you? What do they call you?"

"Old North."

Miss Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, let out a long breath, and looked up at the sky, intending to find an excuse to leave in a few seconds, but suddenly came to her senses, turned her head and asked, "Are you also an interstellar orphan?"

Lu Linbei nodded, "Like Miss Yuan."

"Are all people named Lu?"

"In this family, almost."

Miss Yuan felt a little more cordial in her heart, "I thought the interstellar orphans would only be sent to the city... There is also an orphanage on the farm?"

"No, we were born in the Mei family and grew up here. There is no difference between brothers and sisters. It was only after I was fifteen years old that I understood the true meaning of 'Interstellar Orphans' and found that I was one of them."

"I envy you, the orphanages in the city are not so harmonious. When we left, no one even said 'goodbye'." Miss Yuan moved a little closer, "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course, as long as I know, I know more about the Earth Age."

"I don't ask about history, um, it's history, so... Mr. Mei, Lao Qian, do you often bring girls to the farm?"

A sly smile appeared on Lu Linbei's face, "Not much, I haven't seen it a few times anyway."

"How many times? Did you have one? Tell me, I'm just curious and won't leak it out, and don't worry, I have more friends with Mr. Mei, not sure."

"I have been living in the school for the past few years, and I know very little about the farm." Lu Linbei is obviously a strict man.

Instead, Miss Yuan became interested. She had a hundred ways to get men to tell all their secrets. She used it on Lu Linbei, just like a battle-hardened general. Occasionally hunting was both exercise and entertainment.

Unfortunately, this "hunting" was interrupted before she could make a move.

"Hey, you were hiding here!" Mr. Mei's voice came.

"Lao Bei, I don't see how brave you are to steal Lao Qian's girlfriend!" Another voice said, it was also a young man, about the same age as Lu Linbei, slightly shorter and also thin, but not at all. He is weak, and his energy is too high, and his simple walk also has the meaning of jumping up and down, like a monkey begging for food.

Miss Yuan had a slight impression of "Monkey", but couldn't remember the name. She got up and said with a smile: "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers here, Lao Qian, you have opened my eyes, and I am hesitating whether to continue with you."

Mr. Mei spread out his hands pretending to be disappointed, "Ms. Yuan has such good eyesight, she actually picked the number one talent in our farm."

A couple flirting, the person being mentioned sits smiling.

When he came closer, Mr. Mei kissed Miss Yuan, put it in her ear and said, "Can I have a word with Lao Bei?"

"Why? Ask him to quit the competition?"

Mr. Mei kissed her again, "I beg him a lot."

Miss Yuan knew that this was not the time to get to the bottom of things, she laughed a few times and walked away, "Monkey" followed closely, telling some trivial jokes, as if the two had known each other for a long time.

Mr. Mei watched Miss Yuan walk away, sat on a chair, and approached Lu Beilin, "Everything has been negotiated, the third uncle agrees, you can join the organization."

Lu Linbei put the book in his hand beside him, instead of replying immediately, he became more cautious.

"You don't want to?" Mei Qianzhong asked with a smile.

"Yes, of course. Thank you."

"I don't want a thank you, and you should know that joining an organization is a test."

"Of course, I'm ready and ready to be tested at any time."

Qian Qianzhong didn't make a sound.

"You mean now?" Lu Linbei asked in surprise.

Mei Qianzhong turned his gaze to Miss Yuan in the distance, stared for a moment, and said, "That's a first-class character. If she were an ordinary person, I think I would love her for the rest of my life, but unfortunately, she is a spy of another faction."

Lu Linbei's surprise turned into panic.

"The door of the spy is closed by magic, and only blood can knock it open." The beating expression on Mei Qianzhong's handsome face was even more obvious. He was actually laughing, as if what he was about to do was a prank often played by a few-year-old child." This is your test."

"Are you sure she's a spy?"

"The question is not whether I can confirm it, the question is whether you can believe and obey my orders. This is the basic requirement of our industry."

Lu Linbei stayed for a while and glanced at Yuan Miyu in the distance, she was being amused by the "monkey".

He shook his head, equally indisputable.

Mei Qianzhong also waited for a while, without persuading or coercion, patted Lu Linbei on the shoulder, said "you", then raised his other arm and snapped his fingers, as if greeting Yuan Yuan. waiter at the place.

"Monkey" got the signal and pushed Yuan Miyu, who was still laughing, into the river.
