Those years of engaging with the system for animal insurance

"Uncle, give me a hug."

A baby who has just learned to speak, sits in a walker, speaks a soft language, and stretches out his hand to the man who is typing beside him, asking for a hug.

Li Cixin put down his work, turned around and picked up the baby.said laughingly:

"What's the matter, Nuomi wants to be hugged by uncle."

The baby's small palm like a lotus root patted Li Cixin's face lightly, grinning to reveal two small incisors just erupted in his mouth, and he couldn't speak clearly:

"Uncle...uncle, it looks good..."

"Hehehe, the little mouth is so sweet, did you secretly eat candy just now?"

As he spoke, Li Cixin glanced at the peeled icing on the tea table.Deliberately put on a serious expression:

"Oh! Glutinous rice is disobedient, secretly eating candy!"

Who knows, upon hearing this, the little ancestor pursed his mouth, as if he was about to cry.

Li Cixin remembered her magic voice lingering in her ears before, and hugged the child for a long time.Then a woman came out from the kitchen, walked to Li Cixin, and took the child.

"What's the matter, baby, I'm bothering uncle again. Uncle has to work. Where's your dad?"

Li Cixin took the words: "He has a stomachache and has gone to the bathroom."

After finishing speaking, Li Cixin glanced at the kitchen and asked:

"How's the rice cooking, how about I go and help."

"Come on, come on, brother Ci Xin, sit down, it's enough to have parents and the others. Look at me, they dislike me for being in the way, and they kicked me out."

Li Cixin looked at his cousin, who was already a mother, and asked:

"Where is Yi'an, are you coming soon?"

"Brother is already on his way, and he will be back for dinner soon."

"That's good." Li Cixin looked at the fruit plate on the table, stood up and swept away the trash, and said, "I'll go get some snacks."

Some melon seeds, pistachios, and sugar oranges were added to the fruit plate.

Li Cixin just sat down, intending to tease his little niece again, but the phone message rang.

When I opened it, it turned out that it was the old professor couple I met in Tibet a few years ago.

【Young man, we plan to go to Shangri-La every year, will you go? 】

Li Cixin quickly replied:

[Okay, make an appointment then. 】

【Fist JPG】

Looking at the child's emoticon pack sent by the other party, Li Cixin couldn't help laughing, he is really old and young.

Speaking of which, since Xiaobao disappeared, Li Cixin returned to Lhasa from the Everest base camp alone, and happened to run into this old couple again.

The three of them were destined to each other, and then they decided to go to Linzhi to see the peach blossoms.

In the past few years, the three of them have been in contact from time to time, and they will make an appointment to travel to a place whenever they are free.

During the Chinese New Year, most of Li Cixin's WeChat messages are New Year's greetings, and of course work matters.

In recent years, the self-media channel that Li Cixin belongs to has become completely popular and has become the most prominent account in Internet science popularization.

With the development of the times, more and more educated young people have gradually mastered the right to speak on the Internet. The market demand for such popular science self-media is also increasing.

To this end, Green Earth has created a self-media MCN company specializing in science popularization.

It is specially aimed at incubating various self-media accounts for science popularization.

As an early employee and a self-media benchmark, Li Cixin became one of the bosses of this company.

Now his channel, the update efficiency has slowed down a lot.

After all, the timeliness of the self-media is doomed to the continuous influx of newcomers to replace the old ones.

Cousin Zhang Yining married her current husband and had children shortly after graduating from university.

But having a baby early also has an advantage, it won't have too much impact on the career, my aunt and the others are still young, so they can help take care of the children.

Li Cixin also likes children, but unfortunately he can't have children, and he doesn't plan to get married, after all, he has 500 years to live.After weighing the pros and cons, stay single.

Originally, he still wanted to adopt a child, but he was afraid of trouble and rejected the idea.

My cousin, Zhang Yi’an, was a late bloomer. When he was in college, he continued his studies for postgraduate entrance examinations, and even went abroad to study for a doctoral examination. He has not returned for two years. He graduated this year and came back specially for the New Year.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang, and Li Cixin got up and went to open the door. Who knew that my aunt's ears were sharp, and she walked in front of him first.

While wiping his greasy hands on the apron a few times, he said to Li Cixin:

"Ci Xin, go and sit down, I'll open the door."

Standing outside the door was Zhang Yi'an, whom he hadn't seen for two years.

His stature has not changed, but he has matured a lot and become rounder.

"Mom! Brother!"

"I'm back, you're tired, come in quickly."

At this time, a thin figure came out from behind:

"What's the matter, I can't see my old woman anymore."

The aunt was surprised and said, "Mom, why are you here? Didn't you mean to go to the elder brother's house?"

"The granddaughter-in-law of the old family always makes faces at me every time I go. I came to you as soon as the quarrel was over. Why, you don't welcome me, an old woman, from your second family? Then my local products are not good. I took it back."

Auntie: "Oh, what are you talking about, come here, I'll help you mention it."

Li Cixin stepped forward and helped to take the things: "Happy New Year, grandma."

The old man looked him up and down: "Hey, why are you so skinny? Boys, eat more. I'll make my famous pickled meat with preserved vegetables for you to try. Eat two more pieces of pork."

Auntie: "Mom, it's too troublesome to cook preserved vegetables and braised pork, and it takes too long."

"What are you afraid of, the meat is already cooked by the old master, I brought it here specially, and just steam it in the wok."

Facing the old lady who didn't suffer at all, everyone was a little dumbfounded, but they quickly led the two of them in.

This New Year's Eve dinner is considered the most in a family in these years, with four generations living under the same roof.

During the first month, Li Cixin received a call from Han Yunxi:

"Hey, Ci Xin, NO.14 high school classmate's ten-year reunion, are you coming?"

"Where is it?" Li Cixin asked.

“Just at the Caesar Hotel!”

"Okay, you send me the time, I will be there when the time comes."

When the time came, Li Cixin packed up and drove downstairs to the hotel.

Han Yunxi has been waiting for a long time. He was admitted to a good university after graduation, and has been in contact with Li Cixin over the years.

Han Yunxi, who couldn't stay idle during college, served as a soldier for two years in his sophomore year.

The fair-skinned and handsome boy was also hardened by the military camp and turned into a bronze-colored steel tough guy.

I saw Han Yunxi showing his big white teeth, and said:

"Long time no see, hurry up, everyone is almost here."

In front of the private room of the hotel, there was a banner of the ten-year reunion of Class XX of XX No. [-] Middle School. Li Cixin, who had just walked in, attracted everyone's attention.

The man of the school back then is still the man of the day.

In particular, Li Cixin's seemingly very dramatic experience is no secret.

This student union is not as snobbish as described in the film and television works, after all, most of the students here are ordinary people.

Not many teachers came, but Wang Shumei, the head teacher, was here. This class was the last one she led before retirement, so the impact was very profound.

This old lady may have retired and didn't have to worry about her students. Her hair didn't turn gray, and she actually looked younger than ten years ago.

She squinted her presbyopic eyes, looked at Li Cixin, said with a smile:

"Student Li, your appearance hasn't changed at all! I recognized it immediately."

Han Yunxi next to him said:

"That's right, we're all three people, but he hasn't changed at all."

Teacher Wang immediately received:

"If you want me to tell you, you haven't changed much. It's the time when you are in high spirits! Do you think I recognized him?! Hahahaha"

Later, Li Cixin learned from everyone's chats during the meal that Lin Xianyu had gone abroad to settle down, and several classmates could not come because of work reasons.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Cixin no longer matches the names of those students who have no outstanding characteristics.Fortunately, the expression management is not lost, so I can only deal with it with a smile throughout the process.

"Ah... that's right, that's right, remember..." This is probably what he said the most in this class reunion.

After one session, Li Cixin also felt that this kind of social interaction was really tiring.

When they finally parted, Li Cixin bid farewell to Han Yunxi and continued his busy work.

The latest mission is to go to the settlement of the famous Hu Xi people.

It is said that this ethnic group hidden deep in the mountains still retains the clothing and way of life of the late Ming Dynasty.

They are small in number, only more than 1000 people, so they are not listed as a separate ethnic group.They have raised rhinos for generations and kept them company.On their belief totem is a big white fox with two tails and wings.

Li Cixin remembered that this seemed to be left over from his previous mission to save the rhino.

Not only that, like the snake god of Tasmania, the mother Mary of Jamaica and the gods behind her, the nine-color deer of Central Asia...

These have basically become cultural totems everywhere.

Coming to Rhino Valley again, the changes in hundreds of years are still very big, but the shadow of that year can be vaguely seen.

It has become a tourist destination with a strong commercial atmosphere.

Li Cixin looked at the fox sculpture in the square, his face turned dark, and he wondered when he had three heads.

I saw that the marble sculpture fox god carved according to the narration of the elders in the clan actually had three heads and six legs, and was grinning.

It is true that in the process of inheritance, it is understandable to add oil and vinegar to the story, after all, people's imagination is infinite.But these are simply two things, okay?What does it look like?

The assistant didn't understand, why did the boss lose interest after seeing this sculpture?

The tour guide on the side is still spitting out the introduction:

"This statue is the fox god who saved the ancestors of our Huxi people. When the world was in turmoil, the ancestors led the tribe to this place and were intercepted and killed by bandits. Fortunately, the fox god descended from the sky and killed the bandits. Look at that fox god again, with three heads and six arms, and six eyes that look like lanterns..."

For such a story, Li Cixin rolled his eyes deep in his heart.

Just when he walked to the door of the newly built museum, a young man came over with something:

"Guest, do you want to buy a souvenir?"

Taking a closer look, Li Cixin froze for a moment, feeling a little familiar.Li Cixin dispatched the mission memory from his mind, and found that this boy's appearance... was exactly the same as the leading man hundreds of years ago, he was carved out of the same mold.

"What's your last name?"

"I believe Li."

The other party gave an answer, and seeing that Li Cixin ignored him in a daze, he went to sell souvenirs to others.

Li Cixin took a deep breath, looked at the young man's back, and sighed secretly:

"It's amazing."

After speaking, he stepped into the gate of the museum.
