"goodbye teacher!"
"goodbye students."
After saying goodbye to the students in the class, Zhang Yamin returned to the office, sorted out the teaching materials he would use tomorrow, put them directly on his desk, and then left the school with only a thermos cup in his hand. .
He found that he seemed to be becoming more and more leisurely recently.
When I was under the rule of Mianshan Wucheng, I was doing the same job as I am now, and the number of students was not even as high as it is now. But at that time, I don’t know why, I felt rushed when I went to and from get off work, as if there were a lot of things and I was very busy. of.
Even after get off work, I don't feel at all leisurely. My daily entertainment activities are just catching up on the news and reading miscellaneous books at home. I have no energy and no time to go out for activities.
But now, after finishing my daily teaching at school, I make appointments with my friends almost every day to go shopping and take a walk.
Although everyone still talks about the news, the content of the news is different. It is no longer as easy to get tired, sigh, lament the deterioration of the world, and become angry as before. Instead, now we really only talk about it as "new" news and interesting stories. With.
"Today, are you going to pick out some vegetables and meat and go home to cook, or are you looking for restaurants with famous dishes that you haven't tried before?"
As soon as he thought of this, a call came on his communication watch.
"Banyang, ha, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you have time to call me today?"
"I've been extremely busy for the past half month. I just finished recording a program. Didn't I think of you?"
Ban Yang smiled there and said, "Do you remember that we stayed in the neighborhood north of Burma Mountain for a while. At that time, the neighborhood committee gave everyone three meals a day, and dinner was beef noodles several times. It tasted very good. Yes, I found that store. Are you free today and come over to hang out?"
Zhang Yamin thought for a while: "Ah, I just left school now, it's quite far away from there..."
Traveling so far just for a bowl of noodles seems a bit too much.
Zhang Yamin then thought about it: But now, I don’t have anything urgent to do anyway. I don’t have to rush to find a part-time job to make extra money to pay off the loan. It’s just a trip like this to see the scenery over there. It’s not bad.
"Okay! I'll take a taxi there right now. Just wait for me."
After getting in the car, he clicked on his communication watch to read today's news.
【Spring Festival is coming, holiday in advance! 】
[This year’s holiday, I love it]
[All employees of the Urban Redevelopment Project have been notified of the Spring Festival holiday]
The most popular news this year is almost all related to the Spring Festival holiday. Zhang Yamin clicked on it in surprise and took a closer look.
Even after a catastrophe, when the situation stabilizes, people will still care about festivals such as the Spring Festival, but only to the extent that they "care".
When the festival comes, we clean the house and say a few blessings to each other, that's all. If there is really a festive atmosphere, it's hard to tell.
As far as Zhang Yamin knew, in the past, the various holidays in Bayeyuan and Mianshan Wucheng existed in name only.
In terms of the coalition government, in the early years, it continued to promote urban reconstruction plans in various places and adjusted the distribution areas of the people, and there was no spare time to care about holidays.
Not to mention the past years, even on New Year's Day a month ago, it was just half a day off for the teachers and three days for the students in advance.
Many of the construction workers involved in the urban reconstruction plan were still working overtime on New Year's Day, and a large number of factories were busy cooperating with the authorities to reorganize industries in the Baye area.
This Spring Festival, the news that all walks of life will have a long holiday has simply caused a stir and caused heated discussions among countless people. More importantly, according to the official announcement, it seems that things will have to be done during the holidays every year in the future. Optimize and adjust so that people have more time to enjoy the festival atmosphere and regain the inheritance of various festival cultures.
Beep!
Zhang Yamin was happily browsing the news and comments below when he suddenly received a message. It was an announcement from the principal in the school staff group.
Principal: Attention teachers of all grades in our school. We have received notice that the holiday will begin the day after tomorrow. Hurry up and arrange a test for students of all grades tomorrow.
"puff!!"
Zhang Yamin almost got distracted in one breath. For some reason, he was looking forward to the expressions of the students tomorrow, but after thinking about it, he still sent a message in reply.
Zhang Yamin: Do you want to think about this again? We haven’t prepared any test papers. Besides, our side has just been included in the coalition government for half a year. There have been many changes in the education system and teaching materials. Do you want to report to the superiors?
Several other teachers also helped in the group.
Principal: Don’t worry, it’s just a pretense and an explanation to some parents. The questions are not difficult. I dug them out from the previous question bank and can print them out tonight.
Principal: In addition, I would like to provide some tidbits to all the teachers. In the past two years, our area will also completely restore the winter and summer vacation system like the old jurisdictions of the coalition government, plus holidays and the like. You will also have more opportunities to take vacations.
Dean of Students: Do you really want to do this? So what should we do if students can’t learn all the content they are supposed to learn?
Principal: It is said that three more grades will be added, and the school year of free education will also be extended. However, it is still rumored. It may take a few years to re-calculate the global life expectancy before it can be implemented.
Principal: Well, it’s all hearsay anyway, I can’t tell you clearly now. Let’s just wait and enjoy the holidays.
Zhang Yamin quit this group and clicked into other group chats to look at it. He found that his personal friends and people he interacted with at work were also discussing vacation matters.
In the parent group, messages are refreshed the fastest. While this group is happy, it is the group with the most comments that are worried about affecting students' learning. The topic quickly goes off the rails and other industries are mentioned, and many people express concerns.
One of the parents caught Zhang Yamin's attention.
Liu Anshan: It’s actually a normal thing, so don’t be so anxious.
Liu Anshan: Because the coalition government has already won all the victories, and there is no imminent war that may break out at any time, there is room for many things.
Liu Anshan: And as originally hostile industries are taken over, technologies are digested, and human resources are released and adjusted, this trend will only become more and more stable in the future and will not be a flash in the pan.
When Liu Susu transferred here, she received a lot of attention in the school. Other parents in the same class were vaguely familiar with Liu Anshan's job. After hearing what he said, they quickly asked some questions that they were concerned about. .
Some Liu Anshan answered, some did not, and finally said: In short, celebrating the festival is a happy thing. Everyone, prepare to enjoy the Spring Festival with your family.
Zhang Yamin arrived at the spicy beef noodle store and met Ban Yang. While eating, he also talked about the Spring Festival holiday.
Ban Yang is currently engaged in the production of a wilderness exploration variety show. He said: "This time the official attaches great importance to the Spring Festival. We have also received some cooperation notices and have to arrange some festive arrangements in the city before the holiday." Atmospheric scene.”
"However, we are only small workshops that decorate street scenes. We will also be responsible for the projection of dances in an entire city, fireworks displays, projection scenes of space odyssey, etc., and many other projects."
After Gudu took a big sip of noodle soup, Ban Yang put down his chopsticks with satisfaction and said with a smile, "How are you going to decorate your home then?"
"I?"
Zhang Yamin shook his head and said, "I'm too lazy to arrange it. For me, the biggest meaning of the Spring Festival is just a holiday. I can watch some online programs with my favorite tea and snacks during the festival atmosphere and so on. That’s enough.”
More than ten days later, it was New Year’s Eve.
Zhang Yamin was sitting in his living room and looked up.
The house was hung with red silk and satin everywhere, upside-down blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the door, newly bought Chinese knots were hung on the walls, three strings of firecrackers, and five boxes of fireworks were piled in the corner.
Looking around at all this, Zhang Yamin fell into deep thought.
"Why did I buy so many things?"
He looked at the display screen on the opposite wall. There was a Christmas tree next to the display screen, covered with small colorful light bulbs. There was a projection of Santa Claus under the tree.
"Everything else is fine. This kind of tree doesn't seem to be used to celebrate the Spring Festival. When did I buy it?"
When he was recalling whether he should buy Chinese knots, firecrackers, or today's ingredients, he was introduced to this tree and the doorbell rang.
"Teacher Zhang, we are here. Happy New Year's Eve."
A lively group of people came in one after another saying hello.
Some of them looked older than Zhang Yamin, and some looked like they were in their teens. They were all members of the team that had fled the five cities of Myanmar Mountain together.
However, there were many people in that team with their families, and those who appear here now have no relatives, elders, wives, or children at home.
As long as a person possesses a psychic chip and induces psychic powers, even if he is not rated as a first-level psychic, under ideal conditions, he can live to be a hundred years old.
But since the catastrophe, too many elders and blood relatives have not lived half as long as their ideal state.
Zhang Yamin made an appointment with them to spend New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival together.
The festive atmosphere, which I thought was not important at first, seems to have been decorated unconsciously during the holidays.
Everyone put down what they had brought and sat down around the round table. A few young people held drinks and wine with smiles on their faces and poured them for the older people next to them.
The big screen on the wall lit up, and the Spring Festival Gala began.
Outside the spicy beef noodle shop, a series of firecrackers sounded.
Boss Niu, who has fallen in love with bionic limbs, wore brand-new clothes today and watched the firecrackers and fireworks outside the door with his wife, who just received her certificate last month.
Behind them, the LCD screen in the store was playing scenes from the Spring Festival Gala.
Not only the people in the areas under the old jurisdiction of the coalition government, but also the major itineraries that used to belong to Hachiyein are also immersed in the festive atmosphere today.
Many people don't actually know the allusions to New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, but festivals, holidays, and gatherings can easily feel the atmosphere.
On the wasteland continent, the game world held a new large-scale event.
Players who thought that a new round of spy battles, battles of wits, and fighting would begin, stared blankly at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky.
"Today is a large-scale socializing, banquet, and play event for all players. All products in the game world are 50% off."
"All services including street lantern festivals, restaurants, hotels, amusement parks, aquariums, music halls, etc. are free of charge."
"This is the promised land, I wish all players a happy holiday!"
Yue Zhongquan listened to the radio in his ear and looked back at his companions.
"Then..." he hesitated, "just go and play?"
The fearful master jumped to his feet and said: "Wait a minute, since it is this kind of event, then I don't want to be in the urban area. I want to go to the Xianxia District. I have long wanted to play Confucius and take seventy-two generals and three thousand strong men to the clouds." Meng Daze caught a dragon, but unfortunately this service requires the cooperation of many NPCs, and it’s so expensive that I’m going to experience it today!”
He hurriedly logged off and transferred to another area.
As soon as these words were shouted out, the expressions of many of the companions changed. They didn't even have time to say hello and ran to experience the service they had long wanted to try.
Yue Zhongquan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at the few people left, thought for a while, and said, "If you don't have a service that you are eager to experience, why don't we go find that Taoyuan."
Someone wondered: "Which Taoyuan?"
The person next to me reminded: "That Taoyuan in Sault Ste. Actually, I've wanted to say it for a long time. Their food is very delicious, especially the fruit wine. It's really amazing."
"Ah, but the change in the game world obviously has something to do with them. Later, the Zhao family and Long Jiu Sheng both died of serious illness and died. Su Sheng is probably gone too."
"Didn't someone look for it? I passed by the small town at the foot of Taoyuan Mountain and got lost. I couldn't get past it."
Yue Zhongquan said: "Maybe it's different today. It shouldn't matter if we try it."
In the peach garden, Qi Dongqiang was sorting out the manuscripts he would use later when he suddenly heard Su Sheng laugh.
Qi Dongqiang turned around and looked: "What's wrong?"
"A few old friends are coming to visit. It's rare that they have such heart. I'll open the Feng Shui array at the foot of the mountain and let them come."
Su Sheng reached out and drew dots in the air, fiddling with the authority of the urban area, and said at the same time, "Have you memorized the rhythm of the manuscript?"
"When they have reached the most intense atmosphere, they will first set off fireworks from the six major districts at the same time, and then make a broadcast, read a script, and count down for ten seconds, so that they can make a wish at the moment of the Spring Festival."
Qi Dongqiang pinched the bridge of his nose and complained, "This kind of thing can be done by a smart program. Other administrators are much more professional than us. You just proposed to be the host yourself, and you have to drag me in." , it’s really…”
Su Sheng said: "If you are complaining now, you will be more excited than me when the countdown is called."
Qi Dongqiang: "Well..."
Although it is a bit difficult to learn to host, it is really exciting to lead everyone to countdown together when the time comes.
He stopped refuting and waited intently.
Whether in the game world or the real world, the carefully arranged atmosphere over the past few days has finally reached its peak.
On the land of the coalition government, the host of the party on the screen began the last speech before midnight.
In the game world, the sound of the broadcast spread throughout the six major districts.
"... In the past half century or so, we have experienced many disasters, but the disasters will eventually be overcome. Starting tonight, when the new year comes, we will definitely achieve a better future."
"At zero o'clock, let us make a vision for the future in our hearts together!"
In cities one after another, soldiers guarding large amounts of raw gold from Mars also heard such sounds.
During this period of time, all the jump channels from Mars to the Earth have been used to transport raw gold from Mars, to guide the energy of spiritual disasters, and to refine the raw gold into seven-color steel. All kinds of equipment have also been transported and dumped. Try our best to reproduce and manufacture.
"Can such a thing really be done?"
There are scientific research teams from Mars who are not very optimistic about this kind of thing.
The extreme destructive desire of spiritual disaster creatures also represents an unparalleled obsession. However, ordinary people have too many distracting thoughts and cannot rise to the level of obsession.
"Yes, ordinary people always have various thoughts that keep emerging. Perseverance in action is already a rare virtue, not to mention maintaining mental concentration. This aspect is indeed inferior to those spiritual disasters with single emotions. "
Hong Siya said, "So, we don't require long-term concentration, just these ten seconds."
"Moreover, do you really think that people's desire and persistence for beauty cannot compare to the desire for destruction represented by spiritual disasters?"
Spiritual disasters are originally only born from people's moods.
When they cannot see the good hope and desire for a better life, they can only be oppressed and fall in the other direction.
The zero o'clock bell is about to ring.
The ten-second countdown is coming to an end.
Liu Susu clasped her hands together and made a wish: "I hope I can maintain good grades and find a good job, so that my father won't be so busy."
Liu Anshan held the wine glass and looked at the screen.
'Wife, Mom, we are getting better and better now. I will let Susu grow up happily. '
Zhang Yamin sat on the sofa, holding his head with one hand, thinking unexpectedly: It would be great if the Spring Festival was so lively every year.
In the living room, a drunk young man suddenly reached out his hand: "I will find a girlfriend next year, and we will start a family."
Someone else shouted: "I'm going to continue training. It turns out that my psychic talent is quite good. Maybe next year I will be able to reach the third level of psychic abilities."
"I want a salary increase next year."
"Next year I will seize the position of manager of our cake shop."
"next year……"
Jiang Zisheng walked to the window, looked at the strange spots of light in the sky, and said with a smile, "I hope I can see the full moon in reality next year."
"Hopefully next year..."
"Next year I want to..."
"Next year my family..."
"Starting next year..."
"Next year we'll be able to..."
Lights and fireworks are not enough to light up the earth.
But within these ten seconds, in the eyes of psychics, the light of human psychic energy made the entire earth glow with a dreamy blue and magnificent brilliance.
At this moment, all doubts disappeared.
Anyone would believe that this kind of belief and this kind of light would be enough to produce seven-color steel equivalent to the total number of decades of the Martian ecosystem, or even more.
Because this is also the most complete encouragement and the most relaxing Spring Festival that people have received in more than half a century.
In space, Guan Luoyang stood on the surface of a boulder and looked at the planet.
The magnificent earth was reflected in his eyes, making his eyes sparkle.
During this time, he, Yan Zhen and others have been searching for the remains of the moon and gathered together.
Not all the wreckage is needed, just a part of it.
The collection process is not too difficult, but after gathering them together, this irregularly shaped boulder pile looks really ugly.
If you want to say that this is the moon, at least 99% of people will refuse to admit it.
These boulders still need to be welded and trimmed. If they are trimmed to the end, the surface will be as bumpy as the original moon, but that is just the original moon.
It's not a new moon yet.
After a huge amount of seven-color steel was delivered, base stations were built on the surface of the boulder to simulate the artificial sun technology of the Martian ecosystem.
At that time, this new moon will be able to absorb solar rays and space radiation, convert the energy therein, and through the amplification of the seven-color steel, turn it into the cold light of spiritual energy and feed it back to the earth.
Red, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white, seven colors of steel.
Corresponding to spiritual disasters are anger, arrogance, suspicion, indifference, vanity, laziness and panic.
And this time, the seven-color steel was transported to the moon.
It will represent the seven blessings of passion, self-esteem, curiosity, persistence, honor, tolerance, courage, and courage.
"There are seven kinds of evil in the world, and there are also seven kinds of good."
Yan Zhen floated from space, turned around and looked at the remains of the moon behind him, "In the future, all psychics will find that when they visualize the new moon, their spiritual practice is smoothest and the spiritual energy they obtain is the most pure. .”
"They will discover seven kinds of light and seven smooth roads from the moonlight. This is the future that mankind has blessed us with!"
The old man couldn't suppress his smile and said, "Brother Guan, with this bright light in the sky, the practice system you want to establish in the future will be just around the corner."
"This is just the beginning. In the future, we will continue to increase the production of seven-color steel until it covers the entire moon, so that a virtuous cycle can be maintained between human thoughts and the brilliance of the moon. We also need you to continue to maintain the purity of the moon to avoid being contaminated with too much evil. Even, let the moon become a channel for the exchange of human spiritual energy and cosmic energy."
Guan Luoyang looked at the bright blue stars and said with a smile, "Okay, we've finished watching the party. We must have had enough rest."
"Hurry up and continue with the next steps. At least before I leave, let me see the beauty of the bright moon like a jade mirror flying into the sky."
Yan Zhen landed down, melted the cracks between the boulders, spliced them together, and said, "By the way, did you make a wish just now?"
Guan Luoyang said: "Of course, I join everyone in blessing our future."
In the cold space, the once shattered bright moon will shine in its perfect form in the new era.
It is no longer a cold and hard rock that may lose control at any time, but a beacon that is completely controlled by humans and shines on the universe.
