047 An Ordinary Family on Mars

After the agreement was made, Liang Wanwen quickly led Wang Ping'an and Angeli to check in at the guest house, put down their luggage, and then came out and got in the car.

"I'll call my son. It's best to leave his mother behind and let the four of us go eat together. You guys should strengthen my son's faith."

Liang Wanwen said enthusiastically.

"It's best if you get him another autograph. How about we buy the latest supplement of "The Pioneers" on the way and you sign it and give it to him!"

"Pioneers" is a collection of reportage specifically recording the deeds of recipients of the First Class Meritorious Service Medal for Space Development or the Medal of Gold Star. One episode is published every year and is distributed free of charge to students in grades 10 to 12.

The supplement published on the basis of one episode per year will record the stories of individuals who have received secondary honorary medals such as Silver Stars or have not received medals at all. In fact, the supplement's evaluation is higher than that of this magazine.

Mainly because there are many "ordinary heroes" recorded in the supplement.

Wang Ping'an himself also likes supplements more, and will pick up one every issue and read it carefully.

Wang Ping'an: "This is pretty good. Is the latest one out? I haven't had time to look for it yet."

"It's out, the latest one. I'm the director of the propaganda department and I will be promoted to section chief soon." Liang Wanwen said quite proudly.

Not long after the car drove, they arrived at an unmanned newsstand. Liang Wanwen rolled down the window and snapped his fingers: "Here's the latest supplement of "The Pioneers"."

The robot immediately handed over a supplement.

Liang Wanwen scanned the code with his ID card, took the publication, and handed it to the two people in the back seat.

Angele: “I often watch this when I’m abroad, and some fans will scan the content online.”

Wang Ping'an shrugged: "Actually, there is no need to scan. This will already have an electronic version. The paper version is for... giving it as a gift like now."

As he spoke, he signed his name on the page and wrote a congratulatory message: "Classmate Liang, study hard and make progress every day. I will wait for you in the distance."

After he finished writing, he handed it to Angeli. The girl said: "How about I sign it in French, so that it looks more distinctive, and the greeting should be Verne's sentence in "From the Earth to the Moon":

"'Although the sun seems to be lost in the boundless world of stars, according to modern scientific theory, it is closely connected with the nebula of the Milky Way.'"

Liang Wanwen was very happy: "Great, I think my son will learn French for this."

Angele smiled and wrote quickly on the title page of the book.

After she finished writing, she closed the book and looked at Wang Ping'an: "Are you here to give it to him?"

Wang Ping'an: "No, it's better to give it to him with a beauty like you. He is a boy and will remember it forever."

Angele smiled and said: "Wouldn't this give this great ideal an unhealthy color - or should I say it is too healthy? You'd better give it to me."

Wang Ping'an shrugged and accepted the book.

At this time, Liang Wanwen, who was driving, suddenly sighed: "Why is this happening? My lover is following me."

Wang Ping'an and Angele looked outside together and saw a tenth grade boy, that is, a high school boy, and a gorgeous middle-aged woman standing on the roadside together.

Angele silently squeezed towards Wang Ping'an, leaving a place for herself by the car door.

The boy came up first and opened the passenger door. As soon as he got in the car, he looked back and said, "Wow, it's a real Silver Star! You have to tell me how you got this!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said: "Of course, we are very happy to share it. In fact, this is what we will be participating in the production safety publicity event tomorrow, and you are the first audience."

"That's great." The boy was very happy. During the whole process, he didn't notice that there was a beautiful silver-haired elder sister in the back seat. Her eyes were fixed on Yin Xing. She was so healthy that she didn't look like a teenage boy.

Liang Wanwen's lover also opened the back seat door and got into the car. She had obviously gained weight and squeezed Angeli onto Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an: "If you sit a little forward and stagger your hips, you can save a lot of space."

At this time, Liang Wanwen's son was very surprised: "How do you pull up your seat belt when you are sitting like this? It is dangerous. I think the one who drives ten minutes a day is slow and cowardly. If the car hits my aunt, you will fly out!"

Wang Ping'an pulled out the seat belt of his seat and framed himself and Angeli together.

Fortunately, Angeli's waist is very thin, and it is not very tight, but the seat belt lifts up a certain part.

As the distance got closer, Wang Ping'an could smell a very strong citrus aroma. In addition, Angele's hair got into his collar, making the skin at his collar itchy.

Angele: "Will the military police say that we are immoral? They will even take care of my glasses."

"Just turn on the one-way transparent mode of the window glass and that's it."

Liang Wanwen's lover looked at the two people stuck together like this with a very gossipy look, and his expression seemed to speak a thousand words.

Liang Wanwen introduced with a helpless tone: "These are comrades from the Space Force, here to participate in safety production promotion, and they will cook a small stove for our children today. These are Lieutenant Wang Ping'an, and Second Lieutenant Angele de Leon. Uh, these are

Dog and my lover."

The woman introduced herself: "I am You Yuqin, the secretary of the district committee. Hello, comrades from the Space Force."

"My name is Liang Yifan, uncle, hello, aunt!" Liang Yifan said energetically, "My dream in the future is to go to Titan. I heard that they are in short supply of chemical engineers! I am very good at chemistry!"

You Yuqin immediately said: "Don't mention this dream of yours. Titan is very dangerous. If you don't believe me, ask your comrades in the Space Force!"

Wang Ping'an: "Indeed, just before we set off from the earth, we heard the news that Titan had an accident, and even the cultural team that went to condole the performance lost several artistic soldiers.

"The earth's crust in that place is made of ice and solid alkanes, and is affected by Saturn's gravitational tides, making it very unstable. There are also big storms there all year round. The winds are without exception mixed with huge hailstones, and the temperature is also abnormal.

cold.

"It is not a place for people to stay alone. Although it produces a large amount of important chemical raw materials, and although you can get high work points by going there, more and more people are still unwilling to go to Titan, so the Production Planning Committee

We are even considering opening up contract workers to go to Titan, and even opening up private companies to contract."

Liang Yifan: "I'm not doing it for work points, let alone money. I'm following the call of my heart and going where I need it!"

You Yuqin said angrily: "You are wrong to do this. You should go wherever the organization arranges for you to go. The organization also needs workers to repair the solar array on Mercury! That is an important device that supplies energy to the super particle collider. We are

The research on antimatter all depends on this!"

Liang Yifan: "It's not the organization that arranged for me, it was you who arranged for me! I don't want it! I want to go where it is needed most!"

"You child, why are you disobedient? Your parents will not harm you. If you don't believe me, ask the Space Force. Comrade Xiao Wang, Comrade Lieutenant, did your parents arrange to go to the Space Force?"

"No, I took the exam myself." Wang Pingan answered decisively.

But Angeli said: "My family arranged for me to take the exam because it is the easiest way to win immigration."

"Look!" You Yuqin immediately got the treasure, "Did you hear what this sister said?"

"My dad also supports me going to Titan!"

"Your father is so stupid! What does your father know? He doesn't even know how to flatter a publicity officer, and he was given a house and asked to jump in line several times! It's obvious that the work points are the highest, but we waited three years to get the house!"

Liang Yifan looked bored: "You keep talking about this kind of thing! What does it mean? I quite like our old house. The garden behind the house is so fun!"

Wang Ping'an: "The garden behind the house?"

"Yes, we are on the first floor of the old house, and there happens to be a door facing the flower bed of the courtyard. For me, that is my herb garden!"

Wang Ping'an was delighted when he heard this: "Are you still carving the word "morning" on your desk?"

"That is vandalism and will be criticized." The boy pouted and said.

Because the child did not answer the question, Wang Ping'an himself fell into an embarrassing situation.

Angele said: "Your mother's considerations are reasonable. People have to do the work that is really needed. You see, our commander, Lieutenant Wang Ping'an, has lofty ambitions, but he ended up working in transportation for seven years."

You Yuqin was overjoyed and echoed repeatedly: "Yes, yes! You see, what this sister said is right!"

Angeli continued: "In fact, the universe is very dangerous everywhere, and Mercury is the same. It is too close to the sun, and sometimes the impact of flares can cause communication interruptions. In severe cases, astronauts may even be directly cooked.

"The important thing is that our research on the sun is not enough, and we cannot predict some sudden outbreaks. Repairing solar panels on Mercury also requires courage and perseverance!"

Liang Yifan was shocked: "Really?"

"It's true." Wang Ping'an said, "Even if it's not on Mercury, but on L2, there are people whose brains were damaged by the sudden burst of rays. And our transportation journey this time is just a very simple abandonment of debris.

Because of the movement of things, one person died."

Angeli: "On the way from Earth to L2, we encountered a fully automatic spacecraft in distress. The spacecraft disintegrated, and we were asked to clean up the wreckage.

"This was originally a very simple job, and... it was not particularly dangerous. I mean all kinds of work in space. Then the lieutenant's best friend, Captain Qin Qiong, almost died. Later, he had to do it because of nerve damage.

End all space services."

Wang Ping'an took over again: "He may continue to be affected by hallucinations in the future until he gets a new heart grown from a pig. Even so, it may not be completely cured."

Liang Yifan fell silent.

You Yuqin seemed to be frightened: "Is space [still] so dangerous now? How about you work on the ground, go to a mining area or an algae tower! Or you can raise pigs..."

Liang Yifan said firmly: "No, I'm sure, I should go to space. Since space is so dangerous, members of the Young Pioneers should go even more!"

Wang Ping'an smiled: "That's it. The universe is the last frontier of mankind. Now we have dived into the deepest seabed and even used deep submersibles to explore the mantle. We already know everything about the planet. Only space is still full of unknowns.

, is an unexplored new world!”

You Yuqin: "What's the matter with you, comrade? There is no distinction between good and bad where to work! They are all contributing to the four modernizations!"

"But there are always people who want to go to the most dangerous frontier. Isn't it because Mars has such a comfortable life now because the pioneers braved the storm and severe cold to build it until now?" Wang Ping'an said.

"But the pioneers of Mars fought hard so that people now have the right to choose comfort." You Yuqin retorted without any sign of weakness.

"Then if everyone is at ease," Liang Yifan yelled at his mother, "then won't mankind stagnate?"

Liang Wanwen: "Okay!"

"What a bastard!" You Yuqin slapped Liang Wanwen on the head hard, "You instilled this in your son!"

Liang Yifan patted the back of his seat: "Mom, you are always like this, scolding Dad when you can't speak up! You also know that we are right, but you just don't admit it! No! It's because you have been corrupted! Between us and you

, has been separated by a tragically thick barrier!”

Wang Ping'an looked at the tenth-grade child in surprise, because he had once made a joke on Angeli about this.

Angele whispered: "This kid looks a bit like you."

Wang Pingan also laughed.

You Yuqin entered the complaining mode, counting how much she had contributed to the family and how useless Liang Wanwen was.

At this time, Liang Wanwen interrupted You Yuqin loudly: "We've arrived. We'll eat here tonight."

Wang Pingan and Angeli looked out the window together.

Outside is a splendid hotel, decorated with very "foreign" neon lights, which says "Pavlov Grand Hotel", and the slogan next to it is very earthy: "Pavlov, control your harrassment"

.”

Wang Ping'an was speechless: "This slogan...should I call it retro or trendy?"

Liang Wanwen: "Hey, this is the tertiary industry of the production base. The slogans are all in this style, so you'll get used to it. But the food here tastes really good!"

You Yuqin, who had been quarreling with her son, switched modes and began to use her mobile phone to figure out selfie poses using the neon sign of the hotel as the background.

It seems that rather than persuading my son, it is more attractive to show my lifestyle in the circle of friends.

Liang Wanwen looked at his wife's movements and shook his head repeatedly.

He said: "You two, please! Son, you know the way. Take the two comrades of the Space Force in."
