Chu Yao went downstairs. Outside the door of the No. 4 training hall, a girl in a white dress was standing there, looking like a quietly blooming water lotus.
It’s Song Wenjing.
To be honest, Chu Yao didn't expect it to be the person sitting in front of him.
Things like squatting are really not her style.
"What's up?"
Chu Yao smiled and asked.
Compared to those cheerful, extroverted and unrestrained young ladies, it is actually the reserved and introverted Song Wenjing who makes Chu Yao feel more comfortable and relaxed.
"Um."
"Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
Song Wenjing tilted her head slightly, her black and white eyes were very clear, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Seems a little nervous.
"What are we eating? A candlelight dinner?"
Chu Yao smiled casually, and suddenly felt that her expression at the moment was indescribably cute.
"It's not a candlelight dinner. I, I also invited other classmates."
Song Wenjing's face flushed slightly, and even her eyes were slightly red. She said softly, "I'm getting ready to move to Small World No. 0356. This is... a farewell."
Um?
Chu Yao was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
The land reclamation policy has been announced for a week, and some brave pioneers have begun to apply to move to the small world one after another.
Unexpectedly, Song Wenjing was the first one to go in her class.
"Who are you going with?"
Chu Yao thought of her parents' death again, frowned slightly, and asked another question.
"My uncle and his family will leave tomorrow."
The atmosphere was slightly sad. Chu Yao was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Okay. I'll be there tonight. What time?"
"Eight o'clock."
…
Because reunion is so difficult, separation is even more sad.
In the war-torn era, a separation may mean a farewell forever.
Civilians are not eligible for space travel before joining the military.
Even if you are eligible, the price is too expensive and you can't afford it.
After joining the army, one can travel through space and use military channels to move from one small world to another, but this is mostly for the purpose of carrying out missions and is often beyond one's control due to military orders.
Moreover, even daily communication is impossible between the two small worlds.
Friendship and love are fragile in such an era and easily isolated by time and space, but they are more precious because of this.
Generally speaking, there is a romantic sentiment among boys and girls in the school.
If a boy and a girl fall in love with each other now, as long as they are both over 18 years old and have a simple registration, they can legally live together and even get pregnant and have children.
The military has always encouraged childbirth and provided a considerable amount of fertility funds.
If a man's genes are strong enough, he will even have many opportunities to have children.
This is not a question of whether it is fun or not.
Instead, excellent genes are encouraged to spread out more.
Having more children is a basic national policy that the military strongly encourages.
…
Chu Yao spent thirty spirits and bought two bottles of high-proof cherry wine at the supply and marketing store as a gift for dinner tonight.
This is a specialty of Jiangcheng. It is sweet and delicious, and can calm the mind and help you sleep.
I brought two bottles of wine to Song Wenjing's house.
When I arrived at the address, I found out that the place where Song Wenjing was inviting us to dinner tonight was actually in the villa area of Jiangcheng.
Each detached villa covers at least a thousand square meters and has gardens in front and back, looking extremely luxurious.
Chu Yao knocked on the door and went in.
There was already a lot of activity going on inside.
There were nearly ten people, most of them were girls, with only two or three boys, all of whom were acquaintances and classmates.
A table full of dishes is almost ready.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room was a man who looked to be in his forties, with a dark complexion and rough skin. He had a kind smile on his face, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.
Chu Yao was welcomed in and Song Wenjing gave a brief introduction in a low voice.
It turned out that the person sitting on the sofa was her uncle, Song Leisen, a senior spiritual mineral mining and smelting engineer.
Her aunt Beibei, who is cooking in the kitchen, is a senior engineering architect.
This kind of engineer family combination is considered an elite family above the middle class in Jiangcheng.
Small World No. 0356 is going to be reclaimed, and such people are in short supply, so it is estimated that the military has provided a very high subsidy.
After Chu Yao greeted his elders and said hello to his classmates, he found a place and sat down quietly.
After finishing the last two dishes, Song Wenjing's uncle and aunt went out for a walk holding hands, leaving all the space to the young people.
The atmosphere finally relaxed completely.
A group of people were eating, drinking and chatting casually.
"Jingjing, your uncle's house is so beautiful. I didn't expect you have such a rich uncle."
"Having a single-family villa in Jiangcheng isn't something you can do just by having money; you also need to have achievements! I seem to have heard of my uncle's name somewhere."
"I remember I wrote a book called 'Nine Methods of Mining Spiritual Minerals'. It seems to be a required textbook for engineers!"
"Wow, that's awesome!"
"Actually, my aunt is even more amazing. She's an expert in space channel design theory and enjoys a special allowance from the military. This house actually belongs to her."
…
In a sense, engineers and scientists actually have a higher status than soldiers.
Force can protect civilization, but it can never create it.
The cost of training an engineer and scientist is far higher than that of training a strong person.
