The commander-in-chief was always very efficient when working for Din Meng. Only one month later, the starship bound for the empire staggered into the square of the base.
The noise of the landing was also extremely loud, and everyone couldn't help but run to the square to greet it.
Before Ding Meng even stepped off the spacecraft, he heard a familiar voice from afar:
"You are paralyzed. I told you to slow down, but you didn't listen. As a result, my starship was corroded a lot."
"Then can you blame me? This broken boat was not given to you for free by the commander-in-chief. Others have already given it to you for free. What else can you do?"
"My sister, you won't tell me. Let's try some wine. I haven't smoked for a long time."
"You uneducated thing, you can't even recognize a cigarette brand. That's called Dachongjiu, not Jiuchongda. I'm kidding you."
"Hey, my eyes are a little foggy."
"Go away, you're doing this again..."
…
You don't need to think that these two people are Si Yan and Mao Zi, but they are still fighting for cigarettes, and Ding Meng has separated from everyone and walked up.
"Brother Ding, Brother Ding!" The two immediately became honest and straightened their backs.
"Is it this starship?" Ding Meng looked at the medium-sized carrier on the tarmac. The starship was provided by the commander, but it did not have a regiment logo, and the hull was in tatters, with many places corroded by toxins like moss.
The vegetation was obviously caused by the driving in.
With his eyes drooped and his head lowered, he said: "Brother Ding, this is not the ship!"
"Oh?" Ding Meng was surprised, "Then where is the starship you got?"
Mao Zi quietly pointed to the back of the carrier and muttered: "That's the spaceship!"
Ding Meng took a closer look and almost fainted. There was an even more shabby Blazing Shark spaceship parked behind the carrier. Damn, is this the spaceship that sent me to the Empire?
Seeing Ding Meng's cold expression, Si Yan and Mao Zi didn't dare to talk or smoke.
Fortunately, Xin Jie came out in time to explain: "Same as last time, your identity is still a citizen of TT12. You met the empire's cruise fleet while living outside. The fleet will drop you from the space station. You need to investigate Teacher Zhao's situation.
, there’s no way around Christine Academy.”
When he said this, Ding Meng understood. If a large unit like a medium-sized starship was really wandering around in the Imperial Star Territory, it would inevitably make people suspicious, so it would be more appropriate to keep a low profile.
Everyone is always eager to go when Ding Meng travels. For example, Dai Yi is the most active, but this time Dai Yi sighed helplessly: "Hey, Ding Meng, I really want to go with you, but it's a pity that I can't go.
"
The reason is simple. She is a citizen of the Federation and is not allowed to enter the Empire without a special entry permit.
In fact, there are many people in her situation. Ding Wenhe, Lan Bing, Essendel, and Mengyan couldn't go. Ding Meng had no choice but to turn his eyes to Jun Ling. Unexpectedly, Jun Ling spread his hands helplessly: "Don't look at me, boss."
, I killed many imperial soldiers in the Volcan galaxy. You are a wanted criminal in the Federation, but I am a wanted criminal in the empire."
Jun Ling couldn't pass, and it was even more impossible for Lu Qing and the others.
"Ding Meng, I can accompany you!" The person who spoke this time was Liang Yi, but Liang Yi spoke like a drop of water.
Ding Meng knew what the water drop was trying to do. It was just trying to cause trouble so that it could absorb energy and evolve.
"Just stay here and help Miss Liang improve. Last time I met so many masters on Poison Dragon Star, I didn't see you swallowing a few?" Ding Meng waved his hand, implying that Liang Yi's own strength is still not good enough.
no.
Su Xia suddenly said: "Ding Meng, I may not be able to accompany you. Although I am from the empire, I am dead in the official records of the empire. If you go to the empire and have time, please give it to me."
Take care of Beiming until you die."
Ding Meng drooped his eyelids, Sister Xia was good at everything, but she just held grudges, and that part was too much to bear.
Xin Jie said meaningfully: "It seems that you may have to go alone this time."
"No, there's still us. We can accompany Brother Ding. The girls in the empire are very nice. We can run errands for Brother Ding..." Siyan and Maozi raised their hands eagerly.
Ding Meng said helplessly: "Forget it, the construction of this camp requires you to run errands. I'll go alone this time!"
In fact, he also had a separate plan. In addition to going to Christine Academy, he planned to visit Lao Yu's family. He left in a hurry back then, but he was grateful to Lao Yu from the bottom of his heart. He was in his most difficult time.
Lao Yu and his daughter took him in.
The tt12 star is as peaceful and beautiful as it was back then, with large golden wheat fields swaying in the wind, clear rivers passing through it, and even the fragrance of wood leaves floating in the air.
Ding Meng walked quietly by the river. His mental vision had expanded and covered Qingxi Village. From a long distance away, he saw the bungalow of Lao Yu's family. The house was almost the same as before, but
The outer mud slabs have rotted a lot, and even the wooden hut where he once lived is still there, with some chickens raised at the door.
Unfortunately, Lao Yu didn't seem to be at home. Ding Meng used his vision to scan again, and he found Lao Yu deep in a wheat field. Lao Yu was still doing farm work.
"Lao Yu!" Ding Meng shouted softly from a long distance away.
Old Yu, who was wearing a straw hat, put down his sickle and turned around slowly.
Old Yu was indeed getting old, with a head full of white hair and a haggard face. It seemed that his reactions were much slower. It took him a long time before he said in surprise: "Ding...Ding Meng?"
Ding Meng smiled: "I'm back!"
Lao Yu suddenly became excited: "It's really you, Ding Meng. You've been gone for more than ten years, and you're back..."
As he spoke, he walked out of the wheat field. It could be seen that his body was much stooped and his steps were particularly staggering. After all, Lao Yu was an ordinary person, and more than ten years had been too long for him to grow old.
Ding Meng quickly stepped forward to support him: "Lao Yu, why are you still working?"
Lao Yu wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and said with a hearty smile: "I have been working for a lifetime, and I can't get used to stopping and resting."
Ding Meng helped him back to the wooden house, and the old man and the young man sat down in the yard. Old Yu's enthusiasm was still the same as before, and he brought Ding Meng several plates of nuts and grabbed a few bottles of nutrient solution.
Ding Meng smiled and waved his hand: "Lao Yu, you are so polite. I no longer need these things."
Old Yu said in surprise: "Ding Meng, have you also become a source of energy?"
Ding Meng nodded and said, "I have been for a long time, but I haven't had time to come back to see you."
Lao Yu said: "You kid, you walked very fast back then. Xiaoman said you walked silently. The college teacher said you joined the army. Are you coming back after serving this time?"
It seemed that the military had sealed off the news about the mission to return to the Black Gold Base. Old Yu and his daughter had always thought that Ding Meng had joined the army and gone to the front line.
Ding Meng didn't know how to explain it, so he could only nod his head and said: "Yes, I have retired this time and came back to see you!"
Old Yu's face was full of pride. For an imperial family, it is a supreme honor to have a powerful person in the family serving the country: "Great, Ding Meng, you are back alive. Many people died in the
Back to the front, remember Tribune Fred?"
"Remember!" Ding Meng was also deeply impressed by the old man.
Lao Yu sighed: "His eldest son died on the front line of the Wochu Galaxy a few years ago. The old man was sad for most of the year..."
Ding Meng's impression of the TT12 star also stayed in his memory from many years ago. He asked in confusion: "Is it so unfair now?"
Old Yu sighed: "Ding Meng, you soldiers should know the frontline better than we do. The struggle between our empire and the frogmen in the Wochu system has become more and more intense in recent years. Some people say that a war will break out sooner or later, and the above have also increased taxes.
, even our place has to levy transaction tax."
Ding Meng sighed secretly. He knew that farmers like Lao Yu earned hard-earned money. Now that the empire is in a tense situation, they have to levy heavy taxes on such rural areas. He couldn't help but sigh: "So you still have to pay taxes in your old age."
Working?"
Old Yu smiled and shook his head: "It's not entirely because of this. It's time for Xiao Man to get married, and I will go to the city by then, so I will have to be busy during this time."
Ding Meng asked curiously: "Where is Sister Man?"
Lao Yu said: "It's good to be in Qiuze City!"
After Ding Meng left, Yu Man also successfully graduated from Listing Academy two years later. Although she was promoted to an energy user, her talent was limited, so she did not choose to develop on the path of a warrior, but left with her roommate.
Together with Min, he entered the Qu family's Anweier Qiuze City branch, which was also the promise Qu Xiaoqing made back then.
Due to Qu Xiaoqing's outstanding performance in the Wochu galaxy, the Qu family has become the largest family on the TT12 planet. Anweier Group is also a well-known company and has also been ranked among the top 100 groups in the Nuoxing Empire. Yu Man serves as the Qiuze branch
After working as an assistant in a small department for so many years, I met a staff member of the cultural and educational department of Akize City. The two of them also fell in love with each other and have now reached the point of discussing marriage.
"This is a good thing!" Ding Meng sighed with emotion. This was a portrayal of an ordinary family in the empire, and it was also the day he longed for most.
But Lao Yu's expression was not very natural: "The financial resources and dowry are quite expensive."
"Uh? Are you asking too much?" Ding Meng actually knew this. The marriage traditions of the Federation and the Empire were different.
In the Federation, almost all the men pay betrothal gifts and the women get married, but it is different here in the Empire. The Empire sets standards based on the family status of both parties. For example, Yu Man and her current boyfriend Fang Zhuo, the Fang family still lives in Akize City.
It's a respectable one
family, but the Yu family is a rural farmer. If the Fang family gives a betrothal gift, then the Yu family will give a dowry of almost the same size. If the betrothal gift is more expensive, it will not be affordable for Lao Yu. This marriage
It may turn yellow.
"The other party is making things difficult for you?" Ding Meng frowned.
Lao Yu said: "That's not the case, Xiao Fang is a good boy, it's just that his relatives are a little dissatisfied with us."
Ding Meng stood up immediately: "It's okay, Lao Yu. If you have any difficulties, I'll solve them for you."
Lao Yu quickly asked him to sit down: "Ding Meng, you finally came back from the army. Don't spend the money the army gave you to settle down. You will also marry a wife in the future..."
"Okay!" Ding Meng had no choice but to sit down.
Of course Lao Yu didn't know that Ding Meng didn't need a wife at all. They were all supporting him, and there were more than one. The most important thing is that the virtual currencies of the empire and the federation are universal star coins. The money in Ding Meng's hands
It can also be used in the empire. If you really take it out, let alone the betrothal gift and dowry, it will not be a problem to buy ten TT12 stars.
