Chapter 53： 10-day cruise

The latest batch of grown oranges was transported away from the E69 Fengge Planting Star by a fully AI-controlled transport ship. The transport ship cut through the sky and broke free of the atmosphere, leaving a bright light among the clouds. In the kitchen, grandma was making her own smoked ham pizza and chicken breast, avocado vinaigrette salad, and Auston was helping out. He was no longer the kitchen novice he used to be, and his movements in handling vegetables and meat were not clumsy, although Always only able to start, but is a more mature helper.

The chicken breast was boiled and cooled, and then torn into strips. Grandma squeezed a piece of chicken breast and dipped it in the black pepper vinaigrette she prepared. "Auston, come and taste it, how does it taste?"

Auston, who was standing next to his grandmother, turned his head and ate the chicken breast with his grandmother's hand. After chewing it, he exclaimed, "Grandma's cooking is really delicious."

Grandma laughed, her eyes narrowed into slits, "Haha, grandma told you, Ryan has obtained the true biography of grandma. When he is away from home, let him do what he wants to eat."

"Ryan often cooks for me." Auston looked at the avocado he had sliced ​​evenly, pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Grandma, I want to learn to cook for Ryan."

Grandma raised her eyebrows cheerfully, and what could be better than grandson's beloved partner who also loves him, "Okay, grandma taught you a few simple but delicious meals, don't you want Ryan to know?" Grandma cooperated Auston spoke in a low voice.

Auston nodded, "Well, give him a surprise."

"Grandma likes surprises the most." The old grandmother had worried eyes when she first learned about Auston's surname, but after getting along for a long time, she realized that he was a good boy and loved Wu Jiwu. Can bring new life to the family, "Grandma likes girls."

The topic of the sudden jump made Auston stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, his cheeks involuntarily began to flush, "Well, I like girls too."

"However, the matter of children depends on fate. Both boys and girls are the same. As long as it is your child, grandma likes it." The old grandmother comforted Auston, "Don't have any psychological burden, grandma has lived so many years, I've seen a lot of things. When I really want to do something, I can't get it done in a hurry. Relax, oh, and inadvertently find that I have done it. It was like this when I was pregnant with Ryan's father. When I first got married, it was very special. If I want a baby for two people, I will pull Grandpa Ryan to do that when I have time, haha, he joked that I was going to empty him out."

Grandma has a very cheerful personality. Recalling the interesting events with her grandfather back then, her old and cloudy eyes were filled with the shyness of her marriage and her nostalgia for her grandfather. All the emotions were combined into one word - love.

"Do you know how long our two-person world has been?"

Auston shook his head. "How long has it been, grandma?"

"Haha, 30 years, I'm about to be annoyed by that bad old man." Grandma said she was disgusted, but she actually missed her grandpa very much, "During that time, I always lost my temper, scolding him and beating him at every turn. Look, you know what's going on, there it is! Less than three years after Daddy Ryan was born, we had Uncle Ryan again, and then we wanted a girl, and I was pregnant at the time..."

Grandma's eyes were a little wet, she shook her head and stopped the conversation before the tears were about to fall, "The past is gone, don't talk about it, haha, don't talk about it. Grandma just told you not to worry, the child is fate, maybe something The time has come." She looked at Auston's stomach teasingly, "Maybe there is already a cutie now."

Auston was a little embarrassed by his grandmother, and had some expectations. Different from when he first got married, at that time he only wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, give birth to the heir of the Dalton family, and stabilize the hearts of the scattered Dalton family, but now he is looking forward to a child with the blood of the two.

Lane and Auston will return to the E69 planting star in three days and they will be three months old. Once the three months are up, they are ready to leave home and go to the capital star to spend the rest of the vacation, to deal with the chores of the Dalton family, to go to the The National Day military parade prepares for the three-year parliament. There are so many things that they cannot stay in the warm, comfortable, quiet and warm planting star.

Next, my grandma taught Auston several simple, easy and delicious side dishes, such as Huaxia classic scrambled eggs with tomatoes. My grandma said that the tomatoes in it can be replaced with everything, cucumber scrambled eggs, zucchini scrambled eggs, green pepper scrambled eggs, eggs Scrambled eggs... learn one, and you have a whole egg world. Also taught something else, Ryan will be pleasantly surprised.

When grandma and Auston were busy, they kicked out Ryan, who also wanted to stay in the kitchen. Ryan could only sit under the eaves boredly, watching the blue sky gradually deepening, seeing the sun slanting westward and the sky full of piles. The splendid clouds, seeing two transport ships, one east and one west, cut through the sky and left E69. They will take the big oranges produced in the west garden to the victory base of the Legion of Glory and the Gamma base of the Golden Crusade, and the first batch will be sent. The big orange has been well received by the soldiers. Some people exaggeratedly said: take a sip, as if a blind man saw the sun in the dark.

The feedback sent to the supermarket was also very good. The businessman Rigg looked at the oranges that set a sales record again and again and regretted it. If he did not express his dislike, Mr. Smith would not have called his son to show the oranges; if Mr. Smith If he doesn't call his son and daughter-in-law over, he can choose any fruit trees in the orchard... All he loses is money, ah ah ah!

Mr. Rig, the buyer, doesn't know, and doesn't want to know. He thinks his father is very happy. He looks at the small money in his account and laughs every day. Big red envelope. In the midst of boredom, Ryan took the book at hand. The title of the book was "The History of Emperor Qin Feng and His Friends". In the study, he didn't know whether his cousin and Auston watched or not.

Connor was invited by the publishing house half a month ago to start the largest tour signing since he became famous. The first stop of the signing was Newnes, and the second stop was the second-level planet Belland-Van Ruanting. hometown. Fan Yanting walked with Connor, saying that it was just time to go home.

Ryan opened it and looked at it, and the first thing he saw was something he didn't know - the emperor liked to stroll by the Dolan River at dusk, discussing internal affairs with Justice Gustave.

Ryan: "..." No, the Great Emperor walking by the lake just wanted to catch two fish and see how fat the artificially fed koi in the Dolan River were. Busy enough during the day, an hour after dinner was his mind-bending time.

Skipping this page, Ryan saw the following description in the book: The Great Emperor liked Li, the Minister of Education, who he cultivated very much, and the sharp and blunt words of the upright Minister Li were often adopted by the Great Emperor, and the Great Emperor said that Li was his own mirror , who can reveal all his shortcomings, is the best counselor.

After watching it, Ryan thought hehehe, he suspected that Qin Feng had a bag in his head, and would keep an upright "two hundred and five" beside him.

This book written by later generations is nonsense. Ryan has a flat mouth and is about to throw it out. Let Connor read it himself, he will not disgust himself. The pages of the book were turned, and under the influence of the wind, a small half of the book was rushing past, like a fast rewinding time, a photo suddenly came into Ryan's eyes. In the photo, six young people in their prime looked at the camera in high spirits. According to Qin Feng Anderson's first month of abandoning the army and taking up politics.

The person in the photo, the person standing in the middle has become the supreme ruler of the empire - Qin Feng Anderson, he is not burly, nor is he the tallest of all, with black hair and brown eyes, with typical Chinese characteristics , a gentle smiling face, who would have thought that he would become the iron-blooded ruler of the empire; on the right hand side of Qin Feng is the supreme commander of the army - James Dalton, Auston's great-great-grandfather, a serious and rigid looking The man; on the right is the later Chancellor of the Empire - Bilbo Gustaf; on the far right of the picture is the Minister of Education - Li Minghao; on the left of Emperor Qin Feng is the President of the National Academy of Sciences - Gero David Bromfield; on the far left, looking sideways out of the camera, is the Minister of Health, Denise Lannister, the only woman in the group.

Who would have thought that in the photos, they are just beginning to emerge in their respective fields, and they will become the leaders of the empire in the future, creating a new era.

Lane's eyes stayed on the photo for a moment and then closed the book decisively. He didn't need to take a closer look to know that this photo was a edited version. With the continuous development of history, the people in some photos gradually disappeared. .

"Lane."

"Hey." Auston called to himself, Ryan threw away the book, stood up and walked into the house, asking expectantly, "What do you want me to do? Are you ready for dinner?"

Wearing a light blue apron with a strawberry pattern, Auston nervously brought a bowl of egg custard to Ryan. The bright yellow egg custard also contained a pink and tender shrimp and a few green peas, sprinkled with chopped green onion. It looks a bit too much, but it definitely does not affect the overall beauty.

"Get a bowl of egg custard to cushion the stomach first." In the eyes of the old grandmother's encouragement, Auston asked Ryan to eat the egg custard.

Ryan, who was sitting at the table, picked up the spoon, dug a mouthful of egg custard into his mouth under Auston's expectant eyes, and raised his eyebrows, "Delicious!"

"Really?" Auston demanded.

Ryan nodded vigorously, in order to show his intense emotions, "Yes, it's very delicious. It must be made by grandma. I haven't eaten the egg custard made by grandma for a long time. It tastes so good."

Auston couldn't help laughing excitedly in his heart. He didn't tell Ryan that he made it himself. "Then you can eat more. The whole bowl is yours. I'll go to the kitchen to continue helping."

"Mmmm." Ryan looked up and saw his grandma standing at the kitchen door smiling and looking at them. Grandma made a gesture to him, jokingly indicating that he must finish eating.

Grandma taught Auston to make custard, and asked to put a little bit. Obviously, Auston misunderstood "a little bit". . Ryan knew as soon as he tasted it that it wasn't grandma's craft, it must have been Auston's. He reassured himself that it tasted pretty good except for the salty one, just drink more water after eating.

At dinner, the smoked ham pizza made by my grandmother was well received by everyone, except that the salad was not made by Auston. Many people liked it. During the meal, Ryan poured water wildly, and the creamy pumpkin soup could not save the dry throat. Drinking water will make him feel better.

After eating and sitting down, everyone was about to go back to the room. Grandma stopped Ryan, "Lane, come with me."

"Oh oh." Ryan nodded, and after talking to Auston, he took a few steps to hold grandma's arm and followed grandma.

Grandma's room is on the east side of the first floor. When you open the sliding door, you will find a small garden with good lighting, good air and a good environment. The room is warmly furnished, with a fabric contrasting sofa (sweet orange yellow and lime green can remind you of an orchard in the afternoon), a white porcelain vase with flowers, an old wooden wardrobe, and a sturdy big bed with several cartoon throw pillows. A burgundy round rug was placed at the foot of the bed.

There are many photos on the wall with the light cream yellow wallpaper, the personal photos of the grandparents when they were young; the wedding photos of the two when they got married, the grandma in a white wedding dress and the grandpa in a black suit are happily leaning together, they are Freely in love and married; has pictures of all family members; has all the pictures of Ryan growing up. Now, with a picture of Ryan and Auston standing together, and their children in the future.

There was a white lounge chair next to the glass sliding door, and Grandma sat down with Ryan's help. The grandma who sat down made the reclining chair shake. The reclining chair that grandpa made for grandma is a few years old. When it is shaken, it will make a slight creaking sound. The cabinet said, "Lane, take out a photo album inside."

"Got it, grandma."

Lane walked over and took out a photo album from the chest of drawers designated by grandma. The photo album was some years old, the edges and corners were fluffed, and the style was old. style. Lane took the photo album to grandma, grandma put the photo album on her lap, stroked it with her wrinkled hand, and said with a sigh, "here hides the history of the Qin family."

Grandma beckoned and motioned for Ryan to move a stool and sit next to him, "Let's have a look with grandma."

Ryan moved a low stool and sat by grandma's hand. Grandma opened the photo album, and a photo that she had seen before dinner broke into her eyes, but the book was a cropped version, and grandma had the finished version in her hand.

The left and right sides of Emperor Qin Feng Anderson had changed. On the right was his adopted son, Antonio Stark, who was white and plump; on the left was the emperor's cousin Qin Hao. They were the emperor's adjutant and the director of the intelligence bureau. The former resigned due to tax evasion and left the Capital Star after three years in prison. The latter was accused of treason and disappeared before being sent to trial.

On the far left of the photo, next to Denise Lannister, the person she looked at was the gloomy little Ahen Tyrell, who was called a betrayal by later generations.

"Lane, do you remember the story grandma told you when you were a child?"

Ryan nodded, "Remember, our family should be surnamed Qin, the descendant of the emperor's cousin Qin Hao. His great-great-grandfather was framed and charged with treason. Before the trial, he was helped by a friend and the whole family fled."

"Good boy, you're so smart. That's what grandma said when you were five years old. You still remember it now." Grandma hesitated when she told Ryan, because she completely forgot this family history and didn't tell future generations. , I still spoke it out and alerted future generations. In the end, my grandmother chose the latter, but with a little thought, it was said when Ryan was young. When Ryan grows up, if he remembers, tell him the following words, and if Ryan has forgotten, forget it completely.

Ryan smiled and said, "Who made me your grandson."

"Say good things." Grandma raised her hand and touched Ryan's face, her fingers were rough like an elderly person, but very warm, "Grandma called you to come over and talk to you about this, not for you to pursue the injustice of your ancestors. Don't take the risk of pacifying the Qin family. When grandma found out that your lover's surname was Dalton, grandma was very worried, whether you would do anything about it, and also worried that the descendants of the Dalton family would It's not good for the descendants of the Qin family."

"grandmother…"

"Shh, listen to Grandma." Grandma's eyes returned to the photo. In the photo, these people used to be friends, but later became rivals. They also implied betrayers. Centuries of glory. Those glorious years have passed, and the descendants have their own lives. The Qin family is not as good as it used to be. The ordinary people who just changed their names and lived on the small planting star could not provide Ryan with a strong backing. "The looting of E69 by the interstellar pirates made grandma lose her grandfather, the child in her womb, and her healthy and young body. It also made grandma look at it a lot, life and death, wealth and honor are in the sky, and she never knew about accidents. Whichever comes first or tomorrow. Grandpa told grandma before closing his eyes in grandma's arms, be sure to tell the children not to pursue the past and live a good life."

"Grandma is telling you this now, live your own life well and don't pursue the past."

Lane gently closed the door, grandma watched the thin figure outside the window gradually disappear in front of her eyes, but grandma's advice still echoed in her ears - don't go after the past, don't think about revenge, don't seek the truth.

He sighed, sometimes it's not that he wants to pursue the truth, it seems that the truth is chasing him. Some things are probably missions, wandering in the vast universe wanting to know why this is happening. He promised his grandma that he would not take the initiative to look for it.

Shaking his head mockingly, if Yuan Chu knew about it, he would definitely say he was useless.

Spreading out his palm, a small brass key remained quietly in the palm of his hand. This was what Ryan saw when he took the photo album, and he took it out. It was the key of the Qin family in the basement of the Xingzhaizi in the capital. The house is still there, is there anything in the basement?

The happy and easy life passed in a flash, the good times were like sand in the hand, and quickly slipped away, and Ryan and Auston ushered in the day of departure, they were about to leave the E69 planting star.

At the suggestion of their parents, they did not choose to take the transport ship to turn around and rush to the Capital Star as soon as possible, but signed up for a ten-day cruise in the Storm Star Field and the Life Star Field, and waited until the Life Star Field to find a transport ship to dock to speed up the trip. . The ten-day cruise is Ryan and Auston's honeymoon trip. The setting of the trip is romantic and warm. Mom and Dad highly recommend them to participate. The names have been registered in advance, maybe they will have a honeymoon baby.

If it weren't for the ten-day cruise, they could actually stay a few more days at Planting Star.

"I'm really reluctant to leave." Ryan hugged his parents, as well as his grandmother and aunt, and said goodbye to his uncle's family, the uncle's family who came to see him off, and his uncle Potter and his wife. He looked at the tearful mother and the red-eyed father, "While we haven't left, it's too late to regret it, just refund the cruise ticket."

"No!" There was a clear cry in the mother's voice, "The child will fly when he is old, and where you stay with your parents all day long, the two of you should have your own life, get along well, better Develop feelings."

Ryan took the handkerchief from his mother's hand and gently wiped his mother's tears, "I don't stay at home all day."

Mom hugged Ryan and cried silently. After a while, she released her hug and pushed him by the shoulder, "Go quickly, don't stay by your side to get in the way."

Ryan was pushed away, Auston was hugged by his mother, and her mother said: "Ryan is a fool, he doesn't know how to love or how to sweetly talk, he actually likes you very much, but he just doesn't know how to express it, you can live together. Don't feel monotonous."

"Mom, Ryan is very good. I don't know how to express it. It should be me." Auston hugged his mother and felt the long-lost maternal love from her. On vacation, Ryan and I will go home."

"Hmm." Mom had stopped her tears, and hugged Auston and patted him on the back, "Good boy, Mom and Dad will always open the door for you to come home."

"Send you a thousand miles, and you have to say goodbye."

Although it is not appropriate to use it in family farewells, it is also suitable for this situation. Ryan and Auston stood at the door of the small star ship for a long time and were reluctant to leave, but they had to leave after all.

Ryan saw a white figure squatting beside his grandmother, and pretended not to see it and wanted to wrap his arms around Auston's shoulders and turn around. The little thing that refused to move its buttocks hooted twice, as if after saying goodbye to everyone, it flapped its wings and flew into the small starship, landing on the ground and giving Ryan a proud little back, it, Daifuku Gryphon will never be left behind.

Under the watchful eyes of many relatives and friends, the small starship took off, accelerated to break through the atmosphere of E69, and then flew a distance away from the gravitational force of the planting star, slowed down and flew smoothly in space, and the planting star became a star in front of them. An azure planet.

"Originally, go to the space station outside Newnes." Ryan ordered.

Yuan Chu, who was driving the little starship, said, "Yes, sir."

Originally sitting in the driver's seat, the co-pilot seat was a smaller humanoid robot. The vast star map was displayed in front of Code Zero. He was doing surveying and mapping to formulate the itinerary after the ten-day starship tour.

Auston stood by the window holding Daifuku, who had grown up several laps, scratching his head unconsciously with his hands. Daifuku was so happy that he whimpered softly, looking like a big cat with wings. In Auston's sight, the azure planting star is getting farther and smaller, and his heart is full of disappointment. As soon as he left, he wants to go back immediately. There are gentle parents, loving grandma, kind relatives and friends... There are orchards full of fruit, fields full of strawberries, flocks of cattle and sheep, endless grasslands and seas of flowers... He and Ryan have traveled almost every corner of the planting star, under the starry night, by the sea , on the grassland, etc., intimately stroking each other, letting Ryan go deep into himself, and experience the pleasure of being one.

The life in Planting Star is very dull, the mind is very peaceful, I really regret it.

Standing beside him was Ryan.

"We'll be back when the next vacation is over."

Auston nodded, "Well, looking forward to the vacation again."

"Soon, when you have a lot of things at hand, you will find that time flies very fast, in a blink of an eye..." Ryan grabbed the back of Dafu's neck and slipped the heavier and heavier little thing out, "Little Dafu just It will grow into a great blessing."

Daifuku closed his mouth unhappily, it didn't squeak, because it knew that in Ryan's hands this set would be very useless, it would be better to be honestly carried, like a salted fish that lost its life. resist.

Just because he won't resist doesn't mean he won't ask for help. His watery amber eyes looked at his master eagerly, making Auston's heart soften. Reaching out his hand to take Daifuku from Ryan's hand, Auston said along Daifuku's back, "Before I grow up, I can still hug him, hug him more."

Dafu pouted his **** and buried his head in Auston's arms, screaming in a low voice, as if to accuse Ryan of being vexatious.

With this gags, the sorrow of parting finally faded, and the huge tourist starship also appeared in front of them.

The cruise ship is like the cruise ship in the ancient earth period. It is a star ship that is engaged in travel, visits, excursions, etc. The Shakespeare cruise ship is about one-fifth the size of the Space Moving Castle Xingtian Ship, which can accommodate 10,000 people at one time. There are many people (including all the staff on the ship), the shape is like a huge whale, and there are innumerable windows on both sides of the ship. This is the biggest difference from military ships. The consideration is not defense, but more convenient. Provides scenery along the way.

The small private starships that are anchored are all in the belly of the cruise ship. Mom and Dad booked tickets early and chose a good location. It is not where the roaring engine is, but the position on the front right side, which is convenient for boarding and future decoupling.

The small starship on board is like a small fish attached to the whale, and will start the journey with the huge cruise ship.

There are also six frigates that set off with the cruise ship. From Ryan and Auston's eyes, they can see that those are star ships eliminated by the military. The staff on the frigates are well behaved, most of them are veterans, as long as they operate Appropriately, the defense index of this trip is still relatively high.

Navigating in space, the most fearful thing is to encounter pirates. Don’t look at the storm star field is the radiation range of the Glory Legion. There are still pirates. The universe is too big, and there are too many places that humans can’t take care of. No matter how much defense you have when you go out The measures are not too much.

After the small starship was fixed on the Shakespeare, Ryan and Auston took Yuanchu, code-named Zero, and Daifuku to the room on the cruise ship, followed by a robot carrying luggage. Now that you have traveled with a cruise ship, there is no reason to stay on your own star ship the whole time. Of course, you can enjoy the services on the cruise ship. On the upper deck of the cruise ship, in the corridor outside the first-class suite, Ryan and Auston had already walked here under the guidance of the cruise ship service staff, when suddenly a voice came from behind, "Ryan!"
