Interstellar arranged marriage: The big guys rose after being deposed
Chapter 403 Must be Courteous
Standing on the gray street, they felt a heavy sense of history unfolding before their eyes. The palace gate with red walls and green tiles was deserted, and people only wore blue, white, gray and black clothes. It was the time to get off work, and many people rode bicycles, and even more walked or took the bus.
Apart from buses, there are very few vehicles on the streets. There are only some taxis and official cars serving VIPs, and there are almost no private cars!
After several months of the "planetary transformation plan", people's mental outlook has changed greatly. Their numb and dull expressions have disappeared, and they are full of energy, with light in their eyes and smile when they see people.
Even though everyone's life is still poor now, compared to the previous darkness, hopeless struggle, and being forced to become cruel and conscienceless, now they can earn money to support their families by working hard and have the qualities of conscience, kindness, diligence, etc., which is no less than heaven for them.
The light computers on their wrists released the details of the second mission, requiring them to arrange a reasonable identity for themselves and buy tickets to fly to a nearby star spaceship as soon as possible. Note: You must make money in a way that ordinary people can do, and you are not allowed to cheat by using metaphysics or supernatural powers.
In fact, they didn't have to think about it at all, Wu Yan and Shang Qi were in Xia Hua! After finding these two masters, Qiu Ling and Yan Zhao's identities were confirmed.
With Wu Mu around, Wu Yan handed over the power in his hands little by little. Those who followed him were the former Flame Army and his personal guards.
Now that he has some free time, he can take advantage of the "Planetary Transformation Plan" to accumulate more blessings for his children.
Shang Qi was even more hands-off. He would only go back to Mingyuan Planet every three to five days. He was so elusive that the people who worked for the Shang family became even more nervous, fearing that they would be caught and fired by him. The Shang family had good treatment, so no one wanted to give up their jobs.
When implementing the "planet transformation plan", all the interstellar people who participated in this project signed a confidentiality agreement. In other words, all their activities on the ancient planet were secret, and everyone had to blend in quietly with the natives.
Today's life is too rare, and they don't want to destroy this balance. Wu Yan and Shang Qi have also experienced finding a reasonable identity for themselves.
Today, Wu Yan is the commander of the fifth regiment of the third division of Xia Hua’s general military region in Kyoto, while Shang Qi is the director of a certain brand clothing factory in Shanghai.
The military area was located in the suburbs, and the two of them were penniless, not even enough to take the bus.
However, Qiu Ling was holding a few skewers of roasted rat meat, and the passers-by's eyes were glued to them.
She exchanged a glance with Yan Zhao, found a nearby vegetable market, and set up a stall to sell rat meat. "Don't miss it if you pass by. The fragrant and chewy field mice from the southeast forest, paired with chili sauce, are really an irresistible temptation to eat with rice... The quantity is limited, first come first served..."
Qiu Ling sat aside and watched the people coming and going curiously. Many people's clothes were patched up, and they were holding vegetable baskets in their hands. They looked comfortable and warm, as if the poor life before them was an illusion.
Yan Zhaoze started to set up a stall to sell roasted rats. Due to the scarce resources on the Gucui planet, people could not buy delicious food even if they had money.
In order to ensure that resources are evenly distributed and not wasted, the honorary ruler of Xiahua State discussed with the sirs of various provinces and decided to implement a planned economy. Some important materials had to be purchased with tickets.
All resources are in public hands, and individual operation is not allowed. It can be said that people all over the country are subject to rules and are developing and progressing in an orderly manner!
However, the StarCraft advocates democracy. Under the planned economy, everyone can sell their abundant resources, but speculation is not allowed...
It was rare to see meat, especially roasted rat meat, which tasted extremely delicious. Many customers stopped to buy it. In just half an hour, all twenty or so roasted rats were sold out.
A roasted rat meat is only 20 cents, and 20 rat meat is only 4 dollars, and there are some practical bills. Fortunately, the prices here are cheap, and this money is enough for them to find Wu Yan.
With money in hand, the two went to the state-owned restaurant and bought four large meat buns, each costing 20 cents. As Qiu Ling chewed the meat buns, he felt the pain in his flesh for the first time.
It's not easy to make money, but spending money is easy! After getting two bowls of free boiled water, they asked for directions and took a peeling, rusty bus with buzzing windows. They changed sides twice before arriving at a market, where they waited for the military supply truck that would return to the troops in the evening.
As soon as they stood firm, a military green car drove out from the side. The young man in green clothes leaned out from the passenger seat and saw that although the couple looked exhausted, their beautiful faces almost overshadowed the sunset glow in the sky. He grinned and asked, "Comrades, are you going to visit relatives?"
Yan Zhao smiled and nodded, "Hello comrade, we are looking for Ming Xuan, the commander of the fifth regiment of the third division of the general military region."
"Captain Ming? I know, I know. He is the all-round soldier king of our military region. In the past two months, none of the soldiers from all over the country who came to challenge him have succeeded.
His name has spread abroad!" When talking about Mingxuan, the young man was particularly proud, as if he was from the family.
Knowing that the two of them were the family members of Wu Yan who had transformed into Mingxuan, the soldiers were particularly enthusiastic and invited them into the cab.
This is a military supply vehicle with five seats in the front and a bucket in the back. Unless the family members are unwell, they basically have to sit in the bucket.
The truck bed is half full now.
"Can the King of Soldiers get special treatment? As his family, shouldn't you set an example and give the front seats to the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled and pregnant women?" A middle-aged woman said with a frown. "You are really bringing shame to your man."
Yan Zhao said calmly: "Auntie, I'm sorry, neither I nor our Captain Ming are as great and selfless as you think. We work hard to make our wives live a comfortable life. It doesn't matter if we suffer a little, but why can't she enjoy any benefits after we have paid so much?
If we can’t protect and take care of our own women, then we can’t protect anyone else.”
The young man in front nodded and said, "Auntie, if your relatives are so capable and can accomplish great things in a week or two, I will give you my seat.
Captain Ming is not only an all-round soldier, but also the commander of the special forces and enjoys special care.
If the families of talented people like them don't get any courtesy, wouldn't that discourage their enthusiasm?
In peacetime, we can’t even take care of their families. So when danger comes, can they remain fearless? "
They had seen a lot of things like this, and the young man started talking without hesitation, causing the woman to blush.
"I, I think Captain Ming is such a good person, he, his family should have a higher level of awareness..." the woman said awkwardly, "I just said one word, why are you all talking so much?
The little girl didn’t say anything…”
Qiu Ling smiled and said, "I don't want to waste my words with you. It's good enough to have a car to ride in. If you are not satisfied, you can change to another vehicle."
"This is a military vehicle. Why should I get off?" the woman said angrily, stiffening her neck.
"So, if you're dissatisfied, just hold it in. If you can't hold it in anymore, get off the car and run a few steps to cool down," Qiu Ling said, then he pulled down the curtain on the window between the cab and the back bed and ignored him.
Yan Zhao put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Wife, not everyone knows how to be grateful. Most people call their mothers when they pick up a bowl, curse their mothers when they put down the bowl, and repay kindness with hatred.
Let's not let such people affect our mood. It's not worth it and there's no need to do that. Are you tired? Lean on my shoulder and take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."
He now follows the local customs and calls his wife "daughter-in-law" like everyone else.
Qiu Ling nodded and nestled in his arms to rest.
It was OK in the city, the land was flat and smooth, and the car drove smoothly. But after leaving the city, the road began to be bumpy, and they swayed up and down and left and right.
Qiu Ling couldn't sleep at all. She just closed her eyes and listened to the man's strong heartbeat.
Feeling the movement of the woman in his arms, Yan Zhao spoke in a low voice to the people in the driver's seat and the co-pilot seat. He asked unimportant questions, and they answered what they could.
Qiu Ling listened attentively and was no longer sleepy at all.
They had been wandering around for nearly three hours. It was pitch black outside, with only the lights in front of the car on, as if they were the only people in the world.
After getting off the car, the young man in the passenger seat told them where Mingxuan lived.
Yan Zhao and Qiu Ling followed the young man's instructions and headed to the officers' and staff's dormitory, carrying their second reward for completing the game, a large, bright sack each.
Wu Yan was the regiment commander and was assigned a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. He lived on the first floor, which had a small courtyard. The second floor and above were where the battalion commanders lived, with three households on each floor, each with a one-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
The buildings in this area are all newly built and were completed just half a month ago. People have already moved in one after another.
At this moment, everyone had just finished their meal and were chatting downstairs with palm-leaf fans in the cool air. When they saw Yan Zhao carrying two large sacks and Qiu Ling following behind, they all gathered together and whispered, "Whose relatives from the countryside are these? It looks like they want to stay here permanently..."
"I haven't heard that anyone is coming today... Tsk, but I heard recently that the family housing complex here has been built, and many people are visiting relatives, hoping to get a good marriage..."
"Our unit has good benefits, especially for men who are officials. Their families are assigned jobs, the work is easy, and the salary is not too low. Who wouldn't want to come?"
Someone who was brave enough to do something curious asked directly: "Young man, who are you looking for?"
When Yan Zhao and Qiu Ling approached, they found out in the dim street lights that the two of them were too outstanding. Not to mention that it was the hottest summer of the year, even half a month in spring could make people darker.
Now that half of the summer has passed, how many people in the entire military region have fair skin?
But their faces were like jade plates from the sky, which made them out of place among the crowd. "They are really handsome, almost the same as Ming Tuan. But Ming Tuan has a wheat-colored complexion, which makes him look particularly masculine..."
"They look so good, they don't look like they are from the countryside, right?"
Yan Zhao smiled and said, "Looking for your Ming group, is he at home?"
"No, no," he turned out to be looking for Mingtuan! Isn't this a case of people from the same family sticking together? Mingtuan looks good, and the relatives who came to see him look good too.
"Hey guys, who are you from the Ming Group? The Ming Group has been leading the team to train at night recently and is not at home. Do you have any proof? If you do, the guard can let you in."
Qiu Ling and Yan Zhao looked at each other. They had just arrived and didn't even know what a letter of certification was!
"Aunt, our money and letter of introduction were stolen, otherwise we would have called Mingxuan a long time ago," Yan Zhao sighed helplessly, "We didn't even have much to eat on the road. When will Mingxuan come back? If not, we can just wait at the door."
"Yes, we originally wanted to give Xuan a surprise, but it ended up being a scare for us." Qiu Ling said with a frustrated look on his face.
"Little girls, who are you from the Ming Group?" an old lady with half-white hair asked curiously.
"I'm his girlfriend," Qiu Ling said with a shy smile, "My family saw that Xuan hadn't been home for a long time, so they sent us here to accompany him for a while."
"I'm his brother from the same wife," Yan Zhao said with a smile on his face. "I sent her here."
Mingtuan's girlfriend? Everyone was excited. Mingtuan was so outstanding. Which girl who didn't have a girlfriend wouldn't want to be his wife?
But Mingtuan never revealed his private affairs, and apart from work, he hardly interacted with the opposite sex. This made it difficult for the art troupe, nurses, and teachers who wanted to extend an olive branch to him to find a way.
The wife is so pretty and gentle, no wonder Ming Tuan is so rude to everyone. They would be the same if they were in his place!
"Since you are Brother Ming's wife, I will ask the guard for the key," a woman with short hair said with a smile, and she ran away.
Qiu Ling glanced at Yan Zhao. Was it her illusion? Why did she feel some hostility from this woman? She was obviously very enthusiastic.
Yan Zhao raised his eyebrows, put his arm around her shoulders, and followed everyone's instructions, waiting at Wu Yan's door.
Not long after, the woman really brought a bunch of keys and opened the door with a smile: "Brother Ming just moved in a week ago. We helped him clean and decorate the house. The house is a bit simple.
Tell me what you need..."
The more Qiu Ling listened, the more he felt something was wrong, so he asked directly and rudely, "Comrade, are you sure this is my man's home, not yours?"
The woman's face froze, and she felt a little uneasy: "Sister..."
"Don't call me sister, I'm younger than you," Qiu Ling smiled.
"This is indeed Brother Ming..."
"Captain Ming, I don't remember Xuan having a sister," Qiu Ling corrected again seriously.
The woman cried and said, "I'm sorry, comrades. I saw that you guys just arrived and Captain Ming was not here, so I said a few words. Don't get me wrong, there's really nothing between me and Captain Ming!"
Yan Zhao smiled faintly and said, “It’s really nothing. With my wife around, Ah Xuan won’t look down on others.
Don't think I can't see your true intentions. Are you waiting for Xuan to come back and get angry?"
The woman's eyes narrowed suddenly, obviously because he had guessed it right. "What are you talking about? I should go now, or my parents will be worried."
After saying that, she left in a hurry...
