Superstars of Tomorrow

Chapter 69 The Strange Great-Grandson

Fang Zhao stayed with his second uncle for the time being. During the day, he went to the house he bought in Yanbei City. He tidied it up briefly and used it as a place to stay. It was about 80 square meters, with one bedroom and one studio. After cleaning up, I went to the cemetery to see the parents of this body.

In the new century, the cemetery of ordinary people cannot be regarded as a traditional cemetery, but a form of company. Since the original owner's parents had an accidental explosion at the time, the entire building was blown up, so what was stored in the cemetery was not the urn, but some items of the original owner's parents during their lifetime.

The original owner would not return to Yanbei City to pay homage to his parents before, but through the official website of the company to which the cemetery belongs. Worship also needs to make an appointment to line up, and then wait in a designated area to remove the urn or relic storage box from the centralized storage room. Compared with the martyrs' cemetery, this kind of company-style cemetery for centralized storage of ashes and relics is relatively crowded. When Fang Zhao went, the people in the cemetery told him that he had been in arrears for one year, and after making up the arrears, Fang Zhao also paid the storage fee for ten years in one lump sum.

In the new century, the public is not allowed to be buried indiscriminately. They are all concentrated in similar cemeteries. Different cemetery companies are selected according to each person's economic conditions and preferences. Some are cemeteries funded by the government, and some are privately run. It is the government-funded management. Although it does not look so luxurious, it is also more humane. It has been a year in arrears and has not removed the stored relics. Except for a notification message, it has not been harassed continuously.

The second uncle of the Fang family said that they would go to the rest house to visit the old man on the anniversary, and he would bring Fang Zhao to meet the other elders. Because of Fang's family's persuasion, Fang Zhao did not stay there after he bought the house in Yanbei City lived.

With Fang Yu's matter resolved and the call from above, the second uncle of the Fang family never stopped smiling, which made Fang Qi, who almost failed the exam, heave a sigh of relief. But the only thing that made Second Uncle Fang's family feel awkward was that they would always be a little cautious in front of Fang Zhao. It's not that Second Uncle Fang got the quota for military service because of Fang Zhao. Although this also accounts for a certain factor, it's not the whole reason. Second Uncle Fang also didn't understand that feeling, he just did it unconsciously.

Sometimes Fang Yu also felt that the way Fang Zhao looked at him was similar to that of the old man who lived upstairs, like looking at a junior or a child. So much so that when Fang Yu faced Fang Zhao, he always felt short and cautious when speaking.

Fang Yu analyzed his own state of mind, maybe just like what his father said, people with skills will always invisibly evoke some respect.

Fang Zhao also noticed the attitude of this family, but he couldn't change it for a while, and he didn't know how to pretend to be a young man, or in other words, he didn't know how to pretend to be a young man. He will come to Yanbei City, just want to come to this new century city to have a look. I haven't been back for six years, and even if my temperament changes drastically, the people I know won't say anything.

On the anniversary day, Fang Zhao followed Second Uncle Fang's family to take a public train to a cadre rest center on the outskirts of Yanbei City.

The cadre rest house is extremely lively today.

Due to the rapid development of medical technology and the improvement of human body quality after the death of the world, the average life expectancy has increased. Therefore, the retirement age in many industries is around 150 years old. At this age, it is very common for five generations to live together. As a result, the number of people will be more. Some families have six or seven children, and the total number is even higher.

However, in the new century, it does not depend on the number of people, but on individual ability. What's more, the pace of life in the new century is also fast, and the relationship is easy to fade. Even brothers and sisters may become estranged as they grow up.

It is also the wish of each family to come to the old lady of the Fang family, and it is not an act of forming a group.

After the group arrived at the rest house, they did not go to the place where the two old men lived, but went to a forest in the rest house.

"Every year on the anniversary, many people will come to see the two elders. There are so many children and grandchildren. If they all rush together, they will not be able to squeeze in. Therefore, the cadre rest center will arrange a place in advance for the elders to meet with their children and grandchildren." Worried Fang Zhao couldn't remember the rules here, so the second uncle of the Fang family explained it to Fang Zhao again.

When Fang Zhao and his group arrived, there were already about 20 people in that area, and they all gathered together table by table, chatting with each other with good relationships, and not even bothering to give them a look.

"The two old people will also chat with the juniors. However, different people have different lengths of time to chat. The more important the person, the longer the chat time. Last year, the two old people chatted a lot with a cousin. The year before last I chatted with a cousin for a long time, but I'm not familiar with my cousin and cousin, and I haven't talked to them." Fang Yu walked, and told Fang Zhao what he saw and heard when he came here every anniversary day. They are all made with soy sauce, so they won't stand out. Come and visit the two old people.

"I haven't seen Grandpa today. Maybe he came here earlier and has already left. Grandpa doesn't like our house very much. He comes here with my uncle and aunt every year." Fang Yu continued to whisper.

The second uncle of the Fang family is not only difficult to communicate with the younger generation, but also can quarrel with his own father because they have similar tempers.

"Hey, Fang Lang, are you here?" Someone at the table under the tree next to him saw the person coming and said.

Fang Lang is the name of the second uncle of the Fang family. That person is of the same generation as the second uncle of the Fang family. Their fathers are brothers, but the relationship is not too close. They have worked together on a project and got acquainted with each other.

"Who's that over there?" The man noticed Fang Zhao and asked.

"It's Fang Zhao, the only son of my late elder brother." The second uncle of the Fang family said.

The man thought for a while before he matched the words of the second uncle of the Fang family. "Oh, it's him." There are too many relatives, he can't remember, and he doesn't want to remember the unimportant ones.

However, compared to Fang Zhao, that person was more interested in the box Fang Zhao was carrying. But at this time, it was their turn over there, otherwise he would really inquire.

Fang Zhao saw the family enter a house not far ahead. The houses in this forest were all built in a retro style, like the tile-roofed houses before the death of the world. There is only that one house nearby. It is winter now. Although the sun has been out these two days, the temperature is still relatively low. The two old people must be there.

"Let's sit down for a while, their house just entered, we have to wait for about half an hour behind them," Fang's second uncle said.

Fang Zhao went over and really planned to sit down and wait, when he heard someone calling his name from the front room.

"Fang Zhao! Hey, Fang Zhao, yes, I'm calling you, come here quickly, your old lady wants to see you!"

It was the person who talked to the second uncle of the Fang family just now. He probably mentioned Fang Zhao to the two old people when they were in the house, so he let Fang Zhao go first.

"Hey, Fang Lang, I didn't call you, you have to wait a little longer." The man signaled the second uncle of the Fang family not to follow, and let Fang Zhao go alone.

"Xiao Zhao, pay attention to yourself." The second uncle of the Fang family was nervous for Fang Zhao. Every time he went to see the two old people, he would be very nervous. That kind of aura was too oppressive. He worried that Fang Zhao was too young to bear I can't help but panic because of that aura.

Fang Zhao mentioned the gift he had prepared for the two old men and strode over.

The room is very warm. There are about a dozen people sitting in the living room, talking very quietly. When Fang Zhao came in, they were muttering to each other, and their eyes glanced at the box that Fang Zhao was carrying, as if evaluating something. .

"Inside." The person who called Fang Zhao just now pointed to the room inside, and the other party called, "I'll take you in."

After the man brought Fang Zhao into the room, he turned around and left. However, when he left the room, he was careful not to close the door. The sound of conversation inside.

in the room.

Fang Zhao saw two gray-haired old men sitting there. The old lady was alright, with a faint smile on her face. She looked at Fang Zhao with her eyes. It seemed that through Fang Zhao now, she could compare with the little figure ten years ago. . But the face of the old man next to him was not so good. With his hawk-like eyesight, coupled with his calm and majestic aura, if he was really a young and inexperienced junior here, he would also feel nervous.

"You two are still so energetic." Fang Zhao smiled, put the box in his hand on the table beside him, opened the box, and took out the contents.

Old Master Fang originally planned to show his face. This kid hasn't been here for ten years, so he has to talk about it this time, but when Fang Zhao took out the contents of the box, his face couldn't hold back anymore.

"Sirius?!" Mrs. Fang couldn't help but said.

What Fang Zhao took out was a miniature aircraft model, more than 30 centimeters long, and the overall color was mainly silver gray, with a logo and words printed on it.

The Sirius is a warship built after human beings explored space in the new century. As one of the pioneers of exploration, the Sirius has been decommissioned. However, even after decommissioning, Sirius is still loved by model dealers, not only because of the meaning it represents, but also because of its economic value.

The reason why Fang Zhao chose this battleship was because the old man and the old lady had served on the Sirius.

When Fang Zhao handed over the model Sirius battleship, Mrs. Fang put on airs and didn't reach out, but the old lady next to him took it.

The old lady was taken aback.

"This touch..." Looking at a few subtle places of the model, the old lady looked at Fang Zhao and sighed, "You have a heart!"

Sirius model airplanes were also bought by children and grandchildren before, but they were all thrown away by the old man. Many people thought that the two of them didn’t like airplane models, but in fact, it was because those airplane models were not standard, and there were many subtle mistakes. Only those with a deep affection for Sirius would notice those details.

And the one that Fang Zhao took out has no mistakes in those subtle places, and the material is exactly the same as the real Sirius. It must have cost a lot of money to buy such a model airplane.

Seeing this model airplane, the old man's face became better. At least Fang Zhao really put his heart into choosing gifts, and the two of them liked it very much.

Since the junior took the initiative to show his favor, the old man couldn't show his face anymore.

"I haven't seen you for ten years. It seems that you have developed well. Where do you work now?" the old man asked.

"An entertainment company." Fang Zhao sat down on a chair next to him.

"Oh, it's for entertainment." The old man lost interest, thought of something, and asked again, "Where did you serve in the military service?"

"I haven't served yet, I don't have time, and this year has already been arranged." Fang Zhao said.

"Oh? Haven't served yet?" The old man straightened his waist, "So busy with work? What are you busy with?"

"play games."

"..." The old man withdrew his hand that was going to give the red envelope.

There are too many people in the family these two days, and there is basically no time code word. Everyone go to bed first, and I will code for a while.
