Standing at the door, I took a deep breath. Then I stretched out my hand and swiped the identification device at the door, and the mysterious door suddenly opened. There was no one in the living room, it was empty...
I walked in casually, threw my backpack on the sofa, shouted into the room inside: "I'm back." Then I wanted to get into the room next to me. I had to get everything ready immediately, because the competition was about to begin.
It’s about to begin. Seeing this scene in front of you, some friends may have remembered it? Yes, this is my home, an ordinary family at the end of the 21st century or the beginning of the 22nd century.
But just as I was about to step into my room, a female voice stopped me.
"There are bacteria everywhere outside. Take a shower before entering the house." Alas! I was eventually discovered by that wordy old woman...
I didn’t want to say it at first, but I’d like to introduce it first. There are only three people in my family, dad, mom and me. But they are neither legendary heroes, nor CEOs of big chaebols, nor even beggars on the streets.
Neither is a beggar. My father is just a middle-level cadre of a subsidiary company under Taihe (the income of the subsidiary company is much less than that of the head office), while my mother is an ordinary housewife. The only thing to be proud of is that they are both in good health.
.
As for my parents, their biggest hobby seems to be quarrels, and the quarrels are not elegant at all...
"Hey, old man, your stupid son is back!"
"I know, I'm busy."
"I've been busy all day long, but I haven't made any damn money."
"..."
Look, it’s noisy again. Alas...
My mother always educates me like this: "Don't be like your dad. He is as stubborn as an old scalper. He doesn't know how to flatter his boss and try to get better. Instead, he often fights against his boss. I originally wanted to be a manager.
He has great abilities, but he can only be a small deputy section chief. He is finished for the rest of his life."
"Everything is fake, only interests are real. Interests are money, you know? Money!"
"Xiao Shi, you have to be more diplomatic and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals!" (Horrible family education, no wonder I was cursed by God and turned into a round and slippery copper plate)
…………
(Position levels in Taiyi Empire: Temporary employees (do not enjoy welfare benefits) - Ordinary employees (enjoy welfare benefits) - Deputy Section Chief - Section Chief - Deputy Manager - Manager (the highest level of middle-level cadres) - Deputy Minister
(The general person in charge of a specific work in the headquarters; or the position of local princes in various countries, with great power) - department director (minister, equivalent to the six ancient ministers) - general manager (prime minister) - president (emperor?))
But when it comes to this, we actually only know half of my mother. Because sometimes I asked her if she regretted marrying my father? When she actually answered like this:
"Actually, your dad is quite good like this. He uses his manager's ability to complete the work of the deputy section chief. He is relaxed and content, and makes people speechless. He lives freely. Anyway, the family does not owe money. By the way, you usually
You should be more economical when using your money.”
"Although I often ridicule him for his incompetence, I never dare to go too far. You must also remember this. Do everything in moderation. This is how you can continue a great career that you love.
The hard truth for decades.” (sarcasticly referring to my father as [a great cause]~~~sweat~~~)
"I think if your father was born in troubled times, he must be a fierce general who is brave enough to win the three armies. Do you know that when he was young (omitting some of the Chen Guzi rotten sesame seeds that have been said more than a hundred times)... By the way, let me tell you this
Don’t tell your father!”
To be honest, although most of the time I think my mother is a long-winded gossip, I occasionally think she is quite like a philosopher. Because a large part of my distorted personality now has something to do with her and my father.
It is related to the acquired words and deeds. (Mom is mainly [teaching by words], and dad is mainly [teaching by example])
In short, there is no drama in our family at all. Because happy families do not have drama, and dramatic families are always unhappy.
After taking a shower, I ran over to help my mother tidy up the room. I don’t have any skills, so I can only sweep the floor, wipe the table and so on. Because my family has little money, we can’t afford a highly intelligent home robot, so we can only
By hand. Fortunately, both of my parents were born during the Great Disaster and suffered a lot when they were young. Now these are just minor cases for them.
In fact, both my father and my mother particularly hope that I can cherish life. They always say: "To be able to live together as a family in peace and harmony like we do now is such a luxury for people in times of great disaster."
Ah. If you were born during the catastrophe, you will know that there are many things in this world that are difficult to come by..."
However, we, the new generation after the disaster, cannot imagine the tragic situation during the catastrophe. Most of us just laugh at the old people who always nag "life is precious". Because the textbooks say that catastrophe
It promotes social progress and the development of civilization, which is objectively beneficial to human development.
Maybe we are too wealthy. For us, many things in this world are not so cherishable. I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse?
(Great Catastrophe: Thirty years ago, (between 2065 AD and 2072 AD), a horrific plague struck the whole world and changed the world structure. The population of all areas lacking good medical conditions dropped sharply. The world’s population went from
More than 10 billion quickly decreased to 4 billion. In the face of the plague, it can no longer be said to be humane or inhumane, because even humans in civilized and developed areas cannot protect themselves, and the death toll is about 30%. In backward areas, the death toll reaches 80%
None of the above is a strange thing.—For details, please see "The Rise of the Taiyi Empire" written by Dr. Medea)
"Mom, I'm going to participate in the world's best martial arts competition again. Only 108 people in the world can qualify!" I said casually while squatting on the ground mopping the floor. Although I won the championship in last year's competition, I couldn't say anything to my boss.
Mom said that since I didn’t get the money back, my parents agreed that I got the last place. (They had no confidence in their son at all)
"The fault of a son who doesn't teach his father is that he doesn't study hard and does things that are not his job. You! If you don't learn from your father's good habits, you will learn from his bad habits of doing things that are laborious and thankless." My mother replied angrily.
, doesn’t seem to be excited at all, it’s really disappointing..
I shrugged helplessly and said bluntly: "This competition is quite long, a full two weeks. Therefore, the life support device needs to be replaced with nutrient solution many times during the process..."
"Wait a minute...I don't have time to do these meaningless tasks for you. I'm going to an online shopping mall with Aunt He (Youxiang's mother) later." After that, my mother left, as if
I went to my dad's study.
Alas! Since the Taiyi Virtual Shopping Mall, the old woman’s bad habit of visiting shopping malls and exchanging gossip news has become even worse.
(Taiyi Virtual Mall: It uses the same system as "Dream King of Braves", but it is a completely isolated world. This world is more closely connected with reality. You can know the true identity of the other party, but you can't make money, you can only do it.
For pure consumption, the selected goods will be delivered to your home.)
Just after my mother left for a while, Yuxiang from next door ran in: "Are you getting married this year?"
"What?"
"Of course it's the best martial arts tournament in the world."
"Yes, I'm married." I replied weakly.
"I'm married too!"
Yuxiang's words really surprised me, and I couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes.
"What, are you not convinced?"
"Convinced." I said naa.
"That's so good." Yuxiang, this little girl, actually said, patting me on the head, and then added: "I heard that when the users of two sets of life-support devices are in the same brain wave frequency band, if they are used together, they can
To increase the efficiency of use. Anyway, we all have to participate in the competition together, so why not combine the two sets together."
"Miss, can I veto your request? That's it. It's good for me anyway."
When Yuxiang heard what I said, she jumped up and ran away happily. She probably went back to get the life support device? It seems that I should also take out the life support device I used last year and debug it.
.So I picked up the backpack filled with low-grade nutrient solution and walked into my room.
But when I passed by my father's study room, I seemed to hear my parents muttering something inside, as if they were talking about me. I didn't even have to listen to know that they were sarcastic remarks.
"Old man, Xiaoshi has entered the finals of the Martial Arts Tournament again!" This was a completely different tone from just now, and sounded very excited. So I stopped and leaned against the door to listen carefully.
"This is the second time this year?"
"Yes! Our son has more potential than you. There are only 432 people out of 5 billion people in the world who can qualify."
"Haha... Look how happy you are."
"You're still different."
"He is also my son."
"By the way, the nutrient solution in Xiao Shi's backpack seems to be the lowest quality." Mom's tone changed, as if she was a little worried: "I mean to buy some high-end nutrient solution for Xiao Shi."
"But high-end nutrient solution is quite expensive..."
"I know, but I can't say anything to harm the child's health. And Xiao Shi must not know about this. It's best to put it on secretly when he is asleep. In case he is worried about the cost of nutrient solution
, it’s not good if there is pressure during the game.”
"You are the housekeeper, it's up to you to decide what to do."
When I heard this, Yuka suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Hello……"
"Shh~~~~~" As soon as she started speaking, I stopped her in time and continued.
"What are you doing, being sneaky?" She asked me after I pulled her into the room.
"It's nothing." I scratched my head in embarrassment, and then said: "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very energetic all over. Maybe I can really win a championship or something."
"Stop being so pretty!" Yuxiang playfully stuck out her tongue at me. It seemed that she didn't believe it at all. Just like I didn't believe that she was really pregnant.
