Chapter 69 Strange Great-grandson
Fang Zhao temporarily lived with his second uncle. During the day, he went to the house he bought in Yanbei City and cleaned it up briefly, just to use it as a place to stay, about 80 square meters, a bedroom, and a studio. After cleaning it up, he went to the cemetery to see his parents with this body.
In the new century, the cemetery of ordinary people cannot be considered a traditional cemetery, but a form of company. Because the original owner's parents exploded accidentally, the entire building was blown up because of an accidental explosion, and the cemetery was not stored in the urn, but some items from the original owner's parents during their lifetime.
The original owner did not return to Yanbei City to worship his parents, but instead worshiped through the official website of the company's company. The worship also required an appointment to queue up, and then wait in a designated area to move the urn or relics storage box out of the centralized storage room. Compared with the Martyrs Cemetery, this company-style cemetery that stores ashes and relics centralized is more crowded. When Fang Zhao went there, the people in the cemetery told him that he had been owed for one year. After making up for the arrears, Fang Zhao also paid the storage fee for ten years in one lump sum.
The new century does not allow public burials to be scattered. They are all concentrated in similar cemeteries. Different cemeteries are selected according to their economic conditions and preferences. Some are cemeteries funded by the government, and some are private. The original owner’s parents are located in the government-funded handling. Although it doesn’t seem so luxurious, it is also more humane. After a year of owing fees, the stored relics have not been removed. Except for the position of a notification message, there is no constant harassment.
The second uncle of the Fang family said that he would go to the holiday home to visit the old man on the anniversary day, and would take Fang Zhao to meet other elders at that time. Because of the Fang family's retention, Fang Zhao never lived there after buying a house in Yanbei City.
Fang Yu's matter was solved, and Fang Zhao returned, and the second uncle on Fang's face never stopped smiling every day, which made Fang Qi, who almost failed the exam, breathed a sigh of relief. However, the only thing that made Uncle Fang Er's family feel awkward was that they would always be a little cautious in front of Fang Zhao. It was not that Uncle Fang Er had a certain factor because of Fang Zhao's military service quota, although this also accounted for a certain factor, but not the entire reason. Uncle Fang Er couldn't understand that feeling, but he just did it unconsciously.
Sometimes Fang Yu also felt that Fang Zhao's eyes looked at him were quite similar to those of the old man living upstairs, as if he was looking at the juniors and children. So much so that when Fang Yu faced Fang Zhao, he always felt shorter and spoke with a little carefulness.
Fang Yu analyzed his mentality, which may be as his father said, that people with abilities will always make people feel respect invisibly.
Fang Zhao also noticed the attitude of the family, but he couldn't change it for a moment. He didn't know how to pretend to be a young man, or how to pretend to be a young man. He would come to Yanbei City, but just wanted to come to this new century city to take a look. He hadn't come back for six years, and even if his temperament changed drastically, the people he knew wouldn't say anything.
On the anniversary, Fang Zhao followed Uncle Fang Er's family on a public train to a retirement place on the outskirts of Yanbei City.
The retiring house is particularly lively today.
Due to the rapid development of medical technology and the increase in human body quality after the destruction of the world, the average life expectancy has increased. Therefore, the retirement age of many industries is around 150 years old. At this age, it is very common for five generations to live together. In this way, the number of people will be higher. Some families have six or seven children, and the total number is higher.
However, in the new century, it doesn’t depend on the number of people, but on personal abilities. What’s more, the pace of life in the new century is fast and the relationship is easy to fade. Even brothers and sisters may become distant as they grow up.
When it comes to the old master of the Fang family, it is all their own wishes, not groups.
After the group arrived at the retreat, they did not go to the place where the two old people lived, but went to a forest in the retreat.
"On the anniversary of each year, many people will come to see the two elderly people. If they have too many children and grandchildren, they will not be able to squeeze in when they go, so the retreat will arrange a place in advance for the elderly to meet with their children and grandchildren." Worried that Fang Zhao would not remember the rules here, the second uncle of the Fang family explained to Fang Zhao again.
When Fang Zhao and his group arrived, there were already about twenty people in that area. They all gathered together at table after table. They had a good relationship and chatted together. They were too lazy to give them more eyes if they had bad relationships.
"The two old men will also talk to the younger generations, but different people have different lengths of chatting. The more people they value, the longer they will talk. Last year, the more they talked to a cousin, and they had a long chat with a cousin the previous year. However, I was not familiar with my cousin and my cousin and I had never spoken." Fang Yu walked and told Fang Zhao about his experiences coming here every year on the anniversary. Their family has always been a so-called soybean and will not stand out. Come and visit the two old men.
"I haven't seen my grandfather today, so I may have been here a long time ago and have left. Grandpa doesn't like our family very much. He comes with his uncle and aunt every year." Fang Yu continued to whisper.
The second uncle of the Fang family not only has difficulty communicating with the younger generation, but also can quarrel as he talks with his own father, because both of them have similar tempers.
"Oh, Fang Lang, are you here?" someone saw the person coming from the table beneath the tree and said.
Fang Lang is the name of the second uncle of the Fang family. That man is the same as the second uncle of the Fang family. The two fathers are brothers, but they are not close. They have worked together on a project and are a little familiar with each other.
"Who is that over there?" the man noticed Fang Zhao and asked.
"It's Fang Zhao, my deceased eldest brother's only son." said the second uncle of the Fang family.
The man thought for a while before he met the words of the second uncle of the Fang family. "Oh, it's him." There were too many relatives and couldn't remember them, and he didn't want to remember those that were not important.
However, compared to Fang Zhao, the man was more interested in the box that Fang Zhao was carrying. But at this time it was their turn there, otherwise he would have really inquired.
Fang Zhao saw the family enter a house not far ahead. The houses in the forest were built in retro style, like the tile-roofed houses before the world died. There was only one house nearby. It was winter now. Although the sun was coming out these two days, the temperature was still relatively low, and the two old men must be there.
"Let's sit for a while. As soon as their family entered, we will be behind them. We have to wait for about half an hour." said the second uncle of the Fang family.
Fang Zhao went over and really planned to sit down and wait, but he heard someone calling his name from the other side of the room in front.
"Fang Zhao! Hey, Fang Zhao, yes, I'm asking you, come here quickly, your old lady wants to see you!"
It was the one who just talked to the second uncle of the Fang family. He probably mentioned Fang Zhao to the two old men when he was in the house, so he let Fang Zhao go there 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 him, and only let Fang Zhao go there alone.
"Xiao Zhao, please be careful." The second uncle of the Fang family was nervous for Fang Zhao. Every time he went to see two old men, he would be very nervous. His aura was too oppressive. He was worried that Fang Zhao was too young and could not bear that aura and was frightened.
Fang Zhao brought up the gifts prepared for the two old men and strode over.
The room was very warm, and there were about a dozen people sitting in the living room, and they were talking very little. When they saw Fang Zhao go in, they were muttering something to each other, and their eyes were also scanning the box that Fang Zhao was carrying, as if they were evaluating something.
"Where is inside." The person who called Fang Zhao just now pointed to the room inside, and the other party summoned, "I'll take you in."
After the man brought Fang Zhao into the room, he turned around and left. However, he used some tricks when leaving the room. He did not pull the door, but instead covered it with a faint gap. He could hear the conversation inside when sitting in the living room.
In the room.
Fang Zhao saw two old men with gray hair sitting there. The old lady was fine, with a faint smile on her face and looked at Fang Zhao, as if she was passing through Fang Zhao now, comparing the small figure ten years ago. However, the old man next to her was not so good, with an eagle-like gaze and a momentum without anger. If she was really a young and innocent junior here, she would feel nervous.
"You two are still so energetic." Fang Zhao smiled, put the box in his hand on the table beside him, took out the box, and took out the things inside.
Old Master Fang was still planning to show his face. This kid hadn't been here for ten years, so he had to talk about it carefully this time, but his stern expression couldn't hold back when Fang Zhao took out the things in the box.
"Sirius Star?!" Old Master Fang couldn't help but speak.
Fang Zhao took out a micro-model aircraft, which was more than 30 centimeters long, and the whole was mainly silver-gray with a logo and a character printed on it.
Sirius is a warship built by mankind in the new century after exploring space. As one of the pioneers of exploration, this warship has been retired. However, even if it is retired, Sirius is still deeply loved by model dealers, not only because of its own significance, but also its economic value.
The reason why Fang Zhao chose this warship was because the old man and the old lady served on the Sirius.
When Fang Zhao handed over the model aircraft of the Sirius warship, Old Master Fang still pretended not to reach out, and the old lady next to him took it.
The old lady was stunned when she bought it.
"This touch..." Looking at the subtle parts of the model, the old lady looked at Fang Zhao and sighed, "You are intent!"
Sirius model aircraft have also bought it before, but they were thrown away by the old man. Many people think that they don’t like model aircraft, but in fact, it’s because those model aircraft are not standard and there are many subtle things that are wrong. Perhaps only people with deep feelings for Sirius will notice those details.
The one Fang Zhao took out was in any error in those subtle places, and the materials were exactly the same as the real Sirius. It would definitely cost a lot of money to buy such a model aircraft.
Seeing this model aircraft, the old man was a little better. At least Fang Zhao did put his heart into choosing gifts, and they both liked it very much.
Since the junior took the initiative to show his goodwill, the old man couldn't let his face down any longer.
"I haven't seen you for ten years, it seems that you are doing well. Where are you working now?" asked the old man.
"A entertainment company." Fang Zhao sat down on a chair next to him.
"Oh, entertainment." The old man was indifferent to something, remembered and asked, "Where did you serve?"
"I haven't served yet, I don't have time, and this year has been arranged." Fang Zhao said.
"Oh? Not yet in service?" The old man straightened his back, "I'm so busy with work? What are you busy with?"
“Play the game.”
