after falling asleep

Chapter 897 68. Big and small tenderness
"Some people quarrel during the New Year, and some spend the New Year indiscriminately. Only my son doesn't stay home on New Year's Eve."

Musu, with black hair stuck to ashes, hunched over, carrying a dead fish and muttering, staggered towards him from afar.

"This kid is getting older, and he is getting more and more homeless, look." Passing by the audience around the bonfire, he held up the dead fish to them with emotion: "This is a big Chinese New Year, and I have to be a father to call him back." Home, alas~~~”

While speaking, Musu was about to walk into the resting place.

"Hey hey——" Ying Hua, who was on duty at the door, stopped Mu Su from barging in: "Master, master...do you have something to do?"

"I'm looking for someone!" Mu Su said, wanting to break in.

Yinghua grabbed him and said awkwardly: "Master, we don't accept New Year's goods, you go somewhere else—"

"New Year's goods?" Mu Su glanced at the dead fish, and said with a smile: "Haha young man, you misunderstood, I'm looking for my daughter."

"Your daughter?"

"It's Katyusha, Lieutenant of Alpha Commando of your foreign fleet, and I'm her father."

"Wait a minute, I will ask for you."

Yinghua approached Wangwen Wenqie who was standing by the bonfire: "Squad leader, there is an old man at the door who says he is the father of Lieutenant Katyusha of Alpha Commando."

"Xiao Ka? I recognize it. Go and call Xiao Ka out. I'll go outside to see Uncle—"

"No, the squad leader can't, have you forgotten? They were transferred to Kuiper yesterday for duty."

"What are you afraid of? Tell the truth."

Wangwenwen ignored Yinghua's nagging, and went around to Musu.

"Hi, old man..." Seeing Mu Su holding the dead fish, he hastily reached out to take it: "Here you come, why don't you bring a present?"

Seeing and asking, Musu didn't let go, and when the two sides wrestled, Yinghua leaned over and whispered: "Squad leader, that's not a gift."

"Ah? Oh..." Wangwen Wenqie withdrew his hand in embarrassment, rubbing against his trouser leg.

Mu Su vigilantly hid the dead fish behind his back: "Squad leader, I'm here to call my daughter home for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"New Year's Eve dinner?" Wang Wenwen looked at Yinghua in astonishment: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"Squad leader, you didn't even ask!"

They talked in low voices in front of Musu: "Then what should we do now?"

Yinghua: "Tell him directly?"

"Then we must not let the old man complain to death? Hey, yes, use the latest quantum holographic communication of the Federation!"

"Quantum communication?"

"Yeah, now that the technology is advanced, the Internet is also available outside the system, and you can travel to and from Pluto without delay." Wang Wen asked and clapped his hands: "That's what we'll do! You go to stabilize the old man, and I'll turn on the machine!"

Wangwen Wenqie ran to the wooden stack next to the resting place and pressed it, Yinghua whispered to each other beside Musu, and Musu nodded with a smile.

"All right!"

Wangwen Wenqie yelled, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and pressed the wooden pile.

Greeting the cheers, Qianye walked in slowly from outside the cave.

"Squad leader, why are you calling me? I'm on duty."

Wangwen Wenqie waved his hand: "Don't mention it, your father is here, he's outside right now—"

"Old shepherd?"

Qianye was about to go out, but was stopped by Wangwenwenqie: "He asked you to go back for the New Year's Eve dinner, but we didn't dare to tell him that you were not there. No, we called you here using holographic communication."

"Qianye stomped his feet lightly: "How do you want me to tell him. "

"Find an excuse to say that you can't go back, and coax him back." Wangwen Wenqie ordered, and walked back to Musu: "Old man, Katyusha is here."

Musu looked around and saw Qianye.

"Dad, why are you here?" Qianye said coquettishly, not daring to approach.

"Didn't I miss you! Missing..." Mu Su said as he approached Qianye.

"Eh--"

Yinghua and Wangwenwen hurriedly stopped him.

"Why are you stopping me?" Mu Su stopped in surprise.

"Uh... the important place of the military camp, idlers are not allowed to enter." Wang Wenwen spoke with a Martian accent.

"I'm not an idler, I'm a family member." Mu Su said as he wanted to break in.

"Family... family members are not allowed either!" Wangwen Wenqie yelled at Zhi Musu, and said seriously to the audience: "If everyone breaks the rules, how can the federation be harmonious and stable? To protect the rules, start from me!"

"it is good!"

Tianmo applauded, motivating the audience to agree.

"I don't care!" Mu Su buried his head and rushed in.

"Oh, Dad, why are you so unreasonable!" Qianye complained.

"What's the reason?" Mu Su also faced the audience: "It's no reason if you don't go home during the Chinese New Year!"

"it is good!"

The audience was forced to shout and applaud along with Tianmo.

"Isn't this busy..."

Yinghua echoed: "Yes, don't you think we are also on duty here on New Year's Eve."

"Busy! Busy, all busy! All busy... Hey... Be busy..." Musu's emotions gradually deepened from complaints to helplessness, from helplessness to understanding.

Cool night Tangram plays soothing and warm music.

"Old Mu, I'm not an unreasonable person... You behave well in the army, don't lose face to my old Mu family! This New Year's gift is for you. I'm going back..."

Musu stuffed the dead fish to Yinghua.

"We can't take..."

"Take it! If you can guard your homeland for human beings, my old shepherd is still reluctant to give up a New Year's gift!"

Forcibly stuffing it to Yinghua, amidst the applause, Musu hunched his back and turned and left slowly.

"Old Mu..." Qianye was slightly taken aback.

Yinghua also couldn't bear to ask Wangwen Wenqie: "Squad leader, why don't we..."

"Oh, I told you the truth. Your son, Xiaoka, he..."

Wangwen Wenqi shook his hands angrily, and turned his back to the audience.Yinghua gritted her teeth and continued: "He is on duty in the Kuiper belt, so he can't come back to accompany you!"

Mu Su's eyes widened: "Where is it?!"

Yinghua shrugged her shoulders: "The Kuiper belt..."

"Then...then this is..." Mu Su pointed at Qianye.

"This is the latest quantum holographic communication from the Federation!"

Yinghua explained, Musu came up and waved at Qianye's face.

"So you're not here?"

Qianye sighed and said, "Yes, old Mu..."

"Then why don't you say..."

"I'm not afraid that you will be angry if you find out."

"What kind of bad leader made you run so far during the Chinese New Year!"

"Old man, you can't say that." Wangwen Wenqie interrupted Musu, and read to the audience: "Our soldiers never sleep on the bed, and the bullets are always loaded. As long as the Federation needs it, we are always busy!"

"it is good!"

The audience applauded, and the applause lasted for a long time.

"Oh old Mu, let's not talk about it, I still have tasks!" Qianye bid farewell to Musu and walked out of the resting place.

"Okay...then, then I'll go back too."

Musu was disappointed and prepared to leave.At this time, Wangwen Wenqie and Yinghua suddenly supported him from left to right.

"Old man, if that's the case, don't leave."

Mu Su was stunned: "Why do you still want to send me to the place where you don't have to take me?"

"It's the Kuiper belt~" Yinghua corrected with a smile.

"Old man, you misunderstood. It's cold, and we don't feel relieved to let you go back. Tonight, on New Year's Eve, we-"

Musu, Yinghua, Qianye, and Wangwen Wenqie looked at each other, faced the audience, and laughed in unison:
"Eat! Dumplings! Smash!"
