Seeing Jian Shui'er walking slowly with a portrait on the news screen, Xu Le's eyes narrowed again, and he subconsciously took a sip of the water cup.

The Federation never knew the true family history of this once popular national idol all over the world, let alone why UNICEF had such a lawsuit with Federal Channel 23, and today she finally revealed her identity at the funeral, but no one can guess the most secret identity.

It is believed that after the funeral, the picture of Jian Shui'er dressed in black and holding the statue of the military god will immediately spread throughout the universe. Countless news media will inevitably dig into the relationship between her and the Li family in Philadelphia, and the curiosity of the people will bring her a lot of pressure, but no amount of factors can prevent her from rushing back from the front line to attend this funeral, because she used to be called Jian Muzi, and she was the daughter of the old Li family in Philadelphia who was picked up from the other side of the universe and cared for with tolerance and family care.

Xu Le hadn't seen her for some days, and usually only contacted her by email, knowing that she had rushed back to Philadelphia, he had sent a letter of consolation, and he couldn't do much else, looking at her slightly reddened eyes and haggard and sad face on the news screen, he was very worried about her.

Sitting silently on the sofa, silently watching the live broadcast of the funeral, silently waiting until the funeral was over, the federal news channel began to rebroadcast and play the "Man from Philadelphia", Xu Le lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows, turned off the TV, and then sat silently again for a long time before picking up the phone and dialing a number.

As in the previous correspondence, the phone rang three times accurately and was connected, and then Shang Qiu's calm voice rang as usual, with a hint of warmth but no surprise: "What's the matter?"

"The test is over?" asked Xu Le.

"Well, it is not difficult to set up the electromagnetic beam cluster array, you know, the key is the fit formula between the datum positioning and the curvature of the earth's crust, and those old people in the Seventh Institute of the Academy of Sciences have tossed for half their lives and still haven't tossed clearly. ”

Xu Le seemed to be able to see Shang Qiu shrugging his shoulders indifferently on the other end of the phone, his plump chest trembling, cute and charming, scratching his head with some self-reproach, and said: "This research is inherently difficult, not to mention that it is suitable for military use." ”

"So I didn't blame anything, if I could have figured out more math at Premier, or if I had more time, I would have done it myself. Shang Qiu said: "I heard that you have been very empty recently, are you interested in helping to do it, don't forget that the Fruit Shell Engineering Department has always reserved a place for you." ”

"Forget it. After Xu Le spoke, he found that his rejection was a little blunt, worried that the other party had some other sensitive thoughts, and quickly explained: "You know that I am very mentally retarded in theory, especially compared to you. ”

It was obvious that the genius female engineer on the other end of the phone had basically zero sensitivity to these things, and said calmly: "I'll do the calculations, and you can do the models." ”

Xu Le thought about it and said, "Okay, when you come back, we'll meet and talk." ”

"I'm back. Shang Qiu said: "We have to wait for the feedback of the live ammunition data, so the entire experimental team has withdrawn." ”

"Are you at the Venus Liquor Store now?" Xu Le asked in surprise, thinking that she was very close to Wei Er's old mansion, and he unconsciously became nervous.

"Why?

After Shang Qiu paused, he said in a tired voice, and began to tease or tease him a little clumsily and bluntly like in the night meeting next to the university many years ago, but young people often don't understand that teasing and teasing each other can often only make them feel shy and embarrassed.

"Well, I do have something I'd like to tell you in person. ”

Xu Le's mind came to Jian Shui'er's haggard and sad face, although it was not a pear blossom with rain, but it was particularly pitiful, and then he held a hot microphone in his hand, but found that there were many things that should be said, but he didn't know how to say it, or dig into the deepest part of a man's heart, and subconsciously he didn't want to say it at all.

From his tone, Shang Qiu vaguely understood something, and said after a moment of silence: "We don't need to be too literary and artistic, and you don't have to have too much psychological pressure because I ran away from marriage." ”

Xu Le snorted from his nose.

Shang Qiu's following words came quickly and directly, which was very in line with her character.

"But I really think you're the best person for my husband, I ...... Like you, do you like me?"

Xu Le felt that this question was much more difficult than the Guoke Spring Ya Season Recruitment Exam, staring at the dark light curtain that had closed early like a fool, and after thinking for a long time, he answered this question directly, which was also in line with his character.

"Like. ”

"That's a good thing. Shang Qiu said calmly on the other end of the phone: "Then the question now is, what should you do if you like a lot?" From a biological point of view, male animals will squirt meridian (river) liquid all over the universe as soon as they are in heat, while male men are in adolescence all year round...... But the problem is that there is such a thing as love and marriage, not a simple estrus. ”

"I understand, so I don't know what to do. Xu Le scratched his hair that had not been washed for three days, and felt a tingling itch on his scalp: "Am I not shameless." ”

"You're as shameless as all men...... Shang Qiu commented.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, so long that Kong Youdu felt very embarrassed, and at this moment, Shang Qiu suddenly asked, "Have you ever wondered if if we had a child, would we become the greatest engineering genius in history?"

"If I hadn't inherited my looks, this child would have been very beautiful. Xu Le added in his heart, and his figure must be very good.

"That'...... Why don't we try to give birth to one?" Shang Qiu's voice on the other end of the phone became a little erratic, "The kind of secret." ”

Hearing the stealing word, Xu Le's heart trembled uncontrollably, his mouth opened in shock, unable to close or speak, and at this critical moment, there was a burst of messy footsteps and a scream from upstairs.

The little girl Zhong Yanhua rushed to the stairs, forcibly swallowed the screaming vulgar hope, took a deep breath with the hem of her nightdress, looked at Xu Le who was stunned downstairs, and said in a trembling voice: "It's here." ”

Xu Le was stunned, and then reacted, Huo Ran got up, looked at the subtle red between her nightdresses, panicked, and said loudly: "You just said that you can handle it!"

......

......

The coffin of Heser (River), covered with the bright flag of the Federation, was quietly parked in the main hall of the Memorial Hall of the Federation Heroes.

Mr. President and General Lee Jae-do have left after a secret long talk, after all, there are still countless important matters waiting for him to make decisions in the Federation and the front line, and those generals with a smile on their faces were also gently persuaded away by Lee Jae-do.

On a quiet night, the Li family in Philadelphia held a vigil for the old man, saying that it was the Li family, but in fact it was just three people.

As the night Se (river) gradually deepened, Jian Shui'er, who was invaded by sadness and exhaustion, finally couldn't hold back and fell asleep against the pillars, Li Zaidao looked at the green Se (river) military blanket that the logistics officer put on the girl's body, and waved his hand to call Li Feng over.

"Send your sister-in-law to the next room to rest, and tell the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of National Defense, don't let reporters disturb her these days. ”

General Lee Jae-do gently asked the staff to go and rest, and then he walked to the side doors on both sides and gently closed the doors, leaving him alone in the empty memorial hall of the Union Heroes.

There is also a black coffin covered with the Union flag.

He moved a stool and placed it on the edge of the black coffin, took off his military hat and placed it on the black coffin very casually, then sat down and let out an inaudible sigh.

The lights in the empty hall were dim, and Li Zaidao's palm was gently placed on the coffin of Hesse (River), his expression was calm, his gray hair, wrinkles in his eyes, and his tired expression gradually merged with the atmosphere here.

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the black coffin quietly, his eyes seemed to want to penetrate the thick special coffin, and look at his father, who was lying quietly in the military flag.

......

......

In this way, Li Zaidao sat by the coffin all night, did not speak, did not drink, did not eat, just sat silently, and his palms rested calmly on the black coffin.

Until the early morning, when an ordinary and new day came, the sky outside the window came in, and Lee Jae-do's hair seemed to be whiter, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deeper, and he became more and more tired.

Then he calmly said to the coffin of Hesse (River): "Father, there are some things that I have not had time to say to you before your sickbed, and today I want to tell you. ”

"No matter how great a person is, there will be a day when he will decay. For example, if you are alone, your body may be decaying overnight. ”

"What can make the federation and your spirit immortal forever is the system, and only the new system and degree after the change. ”

"Yes, the people of this (river) universe are afraid of change, the fooled people do not know the need for change, and the vultures that have been attached to the rotting bones of the people for thousands of years hate change, and they will not allow this change to happen.

"Fortunately, the enemy on the other side of the universe has given us a very good reason, and you have given the strong and brave army an unprecedented position in the Federation, and has been loved by the people. ”

He stood up, carefully put on his military cap, and calmly and resolutely said to his father in the coffin, "Father, I am ready to do this......"

"You'll be so proud of me. ”

After saluting the military salute, Li Zaidao turned around and left, the monotonous footsteps echoed in the dark hall of the Heroes Memorial Hall, and the black coffin covered by the military flag looked extremely lonely, and the old man in the coffin didn't know if he would be proud, anyway, he couldn't speak.
