"Some people quarrel during the New Year, and some spend money lavishly during the New Year. Only my son will not be home on New Year's Eve."
Mu Su, with black hair stuck to ashes, a stooped waist, carrying a dead fish and chanting, staggered from a distance.
"This kid is getting older, and he is becoming more and more homeless. Look." Passing by the audience surrounding the bonfire, he sighed and raised the dead fish towards them: "This kid is so old for the New Year, I, a father, have to call him back.
Home, alas~~~”
As he spoke, Mu Su was about to walk into the resting area.
"Hey, hey..." Ying Hua, who was on duty at the door, stopped Mu Su who broke in: "Uncle, uncle...are you okay?"
"I'm looking for someone!" Mu Su said, trying to break in.
Yinghua pulled him and said awkwardly: "Uncle, we don't accept New Year's goods. You can go somewhere else——"
"New Year's goods?" Mu Su glanced at the dead fish and said with a smile, "Haha, young man, you misunderstood. I'm looking for my daughter."
"Your daughter?"
"That's Katyusha, the lieutenant of your foreign fleet's Alpha Commando. I'm her father."
"Wait a moment and let me ask you."
Yinghua approached Wang Wenqie who was standing by the campfire and said, "Squad leader, there is an old man at the door who says he is the father of Alpha Commando Lieutenant Katyusha."
"Xiao Ka? I recognize him. You go and call Xiao Ka out. I'll go outside to see my uncle——"
"No, squad leader, have you forgotten? They were transferred to Kuiper Belt for duty yesterday."
"What are you afraid of? Just tell the truth."
Wang Wenwen ignored Yinghua's nagging and walked around to Mu Su.
"Hello, old man..." He saw Mu Su carrying the dead fish and quickly reached out to take it: "You're here as soon as you come, why do you bring any gifts?"
Despite repeated inquiries and inquiries, Mu Su refused to let go. When the two sides were wrestling, Yinghua came over and whispered: "Squad leader, that is not a gift."
"Ah? Oh..." Wangwen Wenche retracted his hand in embarrassment and rubbed it on his trouser leg.
Mu Su carefully hid the dead fish behind his back: "This monitor, I'm here to call my daughter home for New Year's Eve dinner."
"New Year's Eve dinner?" Wangwenwenqie looked at Yinghua in astonishment: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"Monitor, you didn't even ask!"
They whispered in front of Mu Su: "What should we do now?"
Sakura: "Tell him directly?"
"Then we can't let the old man complain to death? Hey, yes, we can use the federation's latest quantum holographic communication!"
"Quantum communication?"
"Yes, technology has advanced now, and the Internet is connected to other parts of the system. We can travel to and from Pluto without delay." Wangwen Wenqie clapped his hands: "That's what we do! You go and stabilize the old man, and I'll turn on the machine!"
Wangwen Wenqie ran to the wooden pile next to the resting place and pressed it. Yinghua whispered words to each other around Musu that no one could hear clearly. Musu smiled and nodded.
"alright!"
Wangwen Wenche shouted, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and pressed the wooden stack.
To cheers, Qianye walked in from outside the cave.
"Look, squad leader, why are you calling me? I'm on duty."
Wangwen Wenche waved his hand: "Don't mention it, your father is here and is outside now——"
"Lao Mu?"
Qianye was about to go out, but was blocked by Wang Wenwen Che: "He asked you to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner, but we didn't dare to tell him that you weren't there. No, we used holographic communication to call you here."
Qianye stomped his feet lightly: "What do you want me to tell him?"
"Make an excuse to say you can't go back, and coax him back." Wangwen Wenqe ordered, and walked back to Mu Su: "Old man, Katyusha is here."
Mu Su looked around and saw Qianye.
"Dad, why are you here?" Qianye didn't dare to get close and stood there coquettishly.
"Don't I miss you? I miss you..." Mu Su said and approached Qianye.
"Eh--"
Yinghua and Wang Wenwen quickly stopped him.
"Why are you stopping me?" Mu Su stopped in surprise.
"Uh... the military camp is an important place. No idlers are allowed to enter." Wang Wen Wen Qie spoke with a Martian accent.
"I'm not an idler, I'm a family member." Mu Su said and wanted to rush in.
"Family members... not even family members!" Wangwen Wenqie yelled at Mu Su, and said seriously to the audience: "If everyone violates the rules, how can the federation be harmonious and stable? Guarding the rules starts with me!"
"good!"
Tianmo applauded, prompting the audience to agree.
"I don't care!" Mu Su buried his head and rushed in.
"Oh, Dad, why are you so unreasonable?" Qianye complained.
"What's the point?" Mu Su also faced the audience: "If you don't go home during the New Year, it's unreasonable!"
"good!"
The audience was forced to shout and applaud along with Tianmo.
"Isn't this busy..."
Yinghua agreed: "Yes, you see, we are also on duty here on New Year's Eve."
"Busy! Busy, everyone is busy! Everyone is busy... Hey... It's better to be busy..." Mu Su's mood gradually deepened from complaint to helplessness, from helplessness to understanding.
The cool night jigsaw puzzle plays soothing and warm music.
"Old Mu, I am not an unreasonable person... You behave well in the army and don't disgrace my family! This New Year's gift is for you. I'm going back..."
Musu stuffed the dead fish to Yinghua.
"We can't accept..."
"Take it! You can guard our home for mankind, why don't I, the old shepherd, want to part with a new year's gift!"
Forced into Yinghua's hands, Mu Su turned around and left slowly with hunched back amid applause.
"Old Mu..." Qianye was slightly startled.
Yinghua couldn't bear to ask, "Squad leader, how about we..."
"Hey, I'm telling you the truth. Your son Xiaoka, he..."
Wangwen Wenqie threw away his hands in annoyance and turned his back to the audience. Yinghua gritted her teeth and continued: "He is on duty in the Kuiper Belt and cannot come back to accompany you!"
Mu Su's eyes widened: "Where is it?!"
Yinghua shrank her shoulders: "Kuiper Belt..."
"Then...then this is..." Mu Su pointed at Qianye.
"This is the Federation's latest quantum holographic communication!"
As Ying Hua explained, Mu Su came up and waved at Qianye's face.
"So you're not here?"
Qianye sighed and said, "Yes, Old Mu..."
"Then why don't you say..."
"I'm not afraid that you will be angry if you find out."
"What the hell is the leader asking you to travel so far during the Chinese New Year!"
"Old man, you can't say that." Wangwen Wenche interrupted Mu Su and read to the audience: "We soldiers never sleep on the bed, and the bullets are always loaded. As long as the federation needs it, we will be busy wherever we need it!"
"good!"
The audience cheered and applauded for a long time.
"Oh, don't tell me, Old Mu, I still have a mission!" Qianye said goodbye to Mu Su and walked out of the resting place.
"Okay...then, I'll go back too."
Mu Su was disappointed and prepared to leave. At this moment, Wang Wenqie and Ying Hua suddenly supported him on the left and right.
"Old man, if this is the case, don't leave."
Mu Su was stunned: "Why do you still want to send me there without me?"
"It's the Kuiper Belt~" Sakura corrected with a smile.
"Old man, you have misunderstood. It's so cold that we don't feel comfortable letting you go back. Today is New Year's Eve, let's go together -"
Mu Su, Ying Hua, Qian Ye, Wang Wen Wen Che looked at each other, faced the audience, and laughed in unison:
