Chapter 47
Chung family and the puppy biscuits
A low-key but precious black car, like a black ghost, drove silently on the highway on the suburb of the capital administrative area. Several days in a row low temperature blizzard weather, let the smooth roadway covered with the thick snow, even the micro heat pipelines under the asphalt, also couldn’t let these snow melt a bit faster.
“How come you come down as well?” The sitting on the back row of the black car that dressed magnificently young woman, held the looking at the outside of the window absented-minded little girl in her arms fondly, looked at the sitting on the other side fat captain, said with a smile, “a captain not staying on his own ship, you are not afraid that the ship would be driven away by some people.”
The young woman this smile, the not compatible with age charming pretty spilled out in the grace, made the atmosphere to get a lot better in the car. The fat captain looked at the young woman, said with a flatter smile, “little sister-in-law, it happened a such big thing to Miss, of course I have to come to apologize to you personally. The spaceship needs the supplement of the provisions anyway, and I would just leave it alone.”
“After all, you want to apologize to me, or you want me to plead to him?” The young woman looked at him with interest and asked.
The fat captain said with a bitter face, “Miss was missing for so long under my nose, after go back to the military region, chief certainly would exercise me. Little sister-in-law must put in some good words for me.”
“Isn’t Firework just fine? How could he blame on you, we all know what a naughty child Firework is, this time let brother Tim to bring her to here, it had troubled you at first.” The young woman smiled mildly, took a look at her daughter in her arms, said in a light tone, “Firework, don’t run about in the future, you are a docile girl, didn’t you know that uncle Tim would worry so much?”
The little girl Firework Chung stubbornly looked at the snow pines sweeping to the back outside of the window, didn’t answer her mother’s question, she thought in her mind, probably besides brother Sheilor, there no other people would trust in her words in this world, even her father and her mother were the same as well, they always didn’t listen to her ideas, always thought that she was just a little girl, and never asked for her opinion, then sent her to this ice and snow damn place to go to the school.
Seemed to guess out what the little girl was thinking about, the young woman had a trace of dullness and sorry on her face, she turned her head around and said to the fat captain, “this girl is just not willing to leave the family, it looks like that there is no other way, I will have to stay in here a few more years to be with her.”
The called Tim fat captain understood the potential meaning of the words right away, he said with a smile, “rest assured, little sister-in-law, I will watch chief there hard.” In a twinkle, his face got heavy and said, “the thing Miss was missing, commander let us to seal off the news, I had already made it clear to that called Sheilor boy, he shouldn’t spill the beans… I just don’t understand, if we don’t send Miss to the Capital here, could it be said that those old senators of the Management Committee dare to do anything?”
The young woman laughed up, “The Federation is not the Empire, where to have the wording hostage, just only because our Chung family have stationed on the West Forest really for too long, the people over the Capital here always can’t rest assured. Let Firework come to the Federation to study, it is not necessarily what a bad idea, perhaps just want to let the descendent of the Chung family, to have more sense of belonging for the Federation from a child.”
After she finished the words, she suddenly wrinkled her eyebrows slightly and asked, “that called Sheilor little one, whether on earth he knew the identity of Firework or not?”
“That boy looks honest and reliable, but actually he is very smart, I am afraid that he has already guessed it out, just didn’t say it out, perhaps he also know it clearly that it is better for him to pretend not knowing anything.” The fat captain had a shrug on his shoulders, the body fat began to tremble again.
The been staring at the outside of the window Little Watermelon, suddenly turned her head around, looked at the two adults in the car, and said loudly with all her strength, “brother Sheilor is a good person!”
The young woman laughed up, and then said, “of course he is a good person, clearly knew that we are the Chung family people, but he didn’t ask for anything at the end because you like him, he hid far away instead, the key is that the way he hide is very cute as well, not that kind of false argumentative… Firework, mama believe in your eyes seeing people.”
Little Watermelon turned her head away proudly. The young woman looked at the fat captain and said calmly, “since that boy doesn’t want to have any relation with us these people, then just forget about it, I left him a name card of the military region’s Capital office, if he needs anything in the future, we can also give him some helps.”
The fat captain nodded his head, and then said, “the energy quota of the company was cost a half just in one gun shot, I have already filed the report, the key is the energy department of the Management Committee there, the other departments should be easy to work with, I need president you go to talk with the energy department personally.”
The fatty changed the address, that’s because they were talking about the business, the young woman also had her expression serious a bit, the tone was still gentle, “let me handle this thing. But you were really somebody, wasted so much quota just in one time, the result is that it cost the East Forest garrison command a whole formation of special soldiers, the lawsuit would be fought, even Lake them were also wounded by you… When you go back to the military region, you go to explain it for yourself.”
The fat captain had the same color on his face, replied calmly, “Commander shouldn’t give me any trouble in this respect.”
“Well? That treason mechanic should be counted as the worst enemy of our Fourth Military Region, knew about this news, his mood should certainly get much better…”
The young woman cramped her tips of eyebrows slightly, asked curiously, “but the problem is, that mechanic is really this severe? Even the special mecha squad Lake led couldn’t deal with him, had to get going from the space? Next month we need to let the Ministry of National Defense to come forward to incorporate the Antique Bell, otherwise we can’t explain about this problem.”
“That mechanic is very fierce.” The fat captain closed his eyes, recalled the coquettish jumping and leaping of that black mecha on the thermograph and satellite picture, after a moment of silence, he opened his eyes and said, “much stronger than me, Lake them were not his rival, federal this mission is not good to be taken over, no wonder the Ministry of National Defense would give up this credit to us.”
The expression got serious on the young woman’s face, she asked, “How about to compare with him?”
The fat captain knew the him in the president’s mouth referred to his boss, the sir commander of the Fourth Military Region, after pondered silently for a moment, he replied objectively, “if it’s on the battlefield, both using the mechas, chief is not his rival… but president rest your heart, that man couldn’t be dead any more, more than ten years ago those more than ten thousand military lives also got the revenge back at last.”
The young woman nodded her head, looked at the wind and snow outside of the window, lowered her head and looked at her already sound sleeping daughter, suddenly said in a low voice, “that… Mechanic how strong is after all?”
“Other people surely don’t know, but I had stayed for a while in the cultivation pavilion of the Lee’s family.” The fatty lowered his voice, said very seriously, “I always feel that mechanic has some kind of relation with the Lee’s family of Philadelphia.”
Heard the Lee’s family of Philadelphia, the young woman also couldn’t help changing her countenance a bit, she knew fatty Tim was the hard-to-find ace o
f the Fourth Military Region, his eyes were especially sinister, the conclusion he had should have the credible degree in a measure. Pondered over for a moment, she said in a low voice, “since mechanic Fengyu has died, this thing would be stopped over here, also don’t tell commander about it as well. Lee’s family absolutely wouldn’t betray the Federation, let those politicians know about it, surely they would make some noise, we are as the soldiers, of course can’t let old Lee get into trouble.”
As a soldier, in the fat captain’s heart, had the incomparable respect to that named Lee old man as well, he nodded his head seriously to promise.

The seven big families of the Federation, were the privileged class without the privilege, countless years of the history refine, countless great achievements, let these seven families become the pillars of the Federation. In a with the federal law as the cornerstone modern society, this kind of somewhat ancient families, just hid quietly in the shadow, seldom showed their true posture to let the normal populaces to visit. The federal populaces all knew about the seven big families, but they never knew exactly where the strong the seven big families showed in, and what kind of authority and power they own.
With the status and the position of the seven families, of course they wouldn’t go to bully the common federal citizens, between the two of them even probably would never have any relation. For the general public, the seven big families were just like the distant existence over the clouds, existed only in one’s leisure gossip, existed in the illegal vending literature publications, but wouldn’t exist in the life they belonged to.
The six of the seven big families lived on three administrative planets of the Capital Planet Circle, the only one not in the Upper Forest Region was the Chung family of the West Forest.
There was only one Chung family on the West Forest, compared with the other families, the Chung family seemed more clearly in the eyes of the populace. Because from the federal developing period countless years ago, the Fourth Military Region of the Chung family had already undertaken the most marginal defense jobs of the Federation, besides that accidental event on the East Forest Region, the Fourth Military Region never disappointed the expectation of the federal people.
Sheilor fastened the buttons of the wind coat, stood in the wind and snow to wait for the bus, every now and then looked up at the falling snow incessantly sky, and he felt somewhat in a fog in his heart.
He was just a fugitive, who knew that he could see the characters of the legendary Chung family, even had stayed with the miss of the Chung family for such a long time. And he even met the madam of the Chung family in the airport unexpectedly, that was the wife of the commander of the Fourth Military Region… After all, the legendary big shots also didn’t have anything strange, she looked pretty mild.
At this time Sheilor didn’t know, Little Watermelon’s mother was not only the commander wife of the Fourth Military Region, she was even the president of a giant company, otherwise it’s afraid that he would be scared even more. Narrowed his eyes to look at the snow falling down from the sky, the youngster had already had his heart calmed at this time, he just slightly had some regrets, that broken into pieces M02 probably would have been drifting in the space, until someday was thrown into the endless space and became the garbage…
For his first close encounter, for the broken mecha he repaired the first time, grieved for a moment. Sheilor took a look at the bus schedule, thought for a while, he turned his back and walked back into the airport, bought a pack of Upper Forest’s special local product-- the puppy biscuit, then he suddenly revealed the happy smile.
When he was in the East Forest before, he had already known about the puppy biscuit of the Upper Forest, he had already watched that commercial many times on channel 23, but he always hadn’t had the chance to taste it personally, after all, these two administrative regions were too far away from each other, not all the commercial corporations were willing to do this kind of low profit business. The puppy biscuit was very crispy, Sheilor ate it very happily, he thought in his mind, he was really a bumpkin.
Actually all the stuffs in the airport were very expensive, but he didn’t care about this, the spending along the way he was swiping the card, swiped that Three Forests United Bank card which uncle boss left to him. He didn’t know how much money in the card, but seemed like that he could never spend it all.
The bus came, Sheilor got on the bus behind a big suitcase, found his seat difficultly, took off his wind coat and sat down, put the whole pack of puppy biscuit on the food rack by the side, was ready slowly and deliciously to have it all on the road. Suddenly, his fingers touched two cold slender fingers, gave him quite a scared!
Sheilor turned his head around astonished, just saw that a girl wearing a hat was putting her hand into the bag, and was unceremoniously ready to take the biscuit.
