death of hope

Chapter 272 "Corporate Warrior" (188) Insomnia and Anxiety

Soon, they felt very grateful for the wise decision to immigrate to Signus [-].

Not just clean air, good law and order, warm-hearted neighbors,
Almost everyone you can come into contact with is trustworthy and you don't have to worry about it.

Dedicated decoration team, plumbers, domestic workers, gardeners are all present... You don't have to worry about anything.

It is completely different from the cold business capitalization model of purely spending money to hire people on other planets,

The employment relationship of Signus Five is more like a paid service between friends,
There is no distinction between high and low jobs, and everyone is neighbors in the same community. People are family and business, honest and reliable, and rely on their craft expertise to live.

Owners can completely trust these people, even hand them the keys, and let them come and go as they please without worrying about losing anything.

In most Terra human colonies, the crisis of trust between people is intensifying, and it is not uncommon to receive several scam calls a day on average.

Being able to live in such a community where there is no need to embank others is really very worry-free and labor-saving, and the construction efficiency and quality are impeccable.

When the project was handed over, the flower beds in the yard were ready to sign up for the gardening competition, and the sewer and gas pipes were overhauled.
The interior and exterior decoration followed the style of the house designer, with only some small protective changes, and the whole mansion looked brand new, without dealing with it, without grinding foreign work, and it only took a week.

With a stable residence, future plans have also begun to be put on the agenda.
If you want to live an ordinary life, the work of fighting and killing must not continue.

After Lynch fulfilled the last few months of his work contract, he submitted his resignation to the McMillan Enterprise Warrior Department,

Going back to Signus No. [-] Civil Affairs Office to register for marriage means officially disarming and returning to the farmland to live an ordinary life.

The neighbor's old lady is over 80 years old, and she is a very enthusiastic person. When she heard that a new neighbor had moved in, she would come over every day to ask her relatives.

The old lady said that she would help the young couple to make plans, and told them that there were still a lot of tedious matters to be busy. She took everything into consideration and made a long list;
According to local rules, the wedding must be held on the day of registration, otherwise it will not be justifiable.
Send invitations to old friends and colleagues in advance, go to the chapel a mile drive from the mansion for the wedding, and accept everyone's blessings.

The bride is too tall, renting a wedding dress is out of the question, she has to find a tailor to order in advance, the same goes for Lynch's dress.

The convertible car used for the wedding should also be prepared in advance.

According to local customs, empty soda cans and bells should be hung on the back of the convertible car. Mormons especially like to be lively, jingling all the way to win the prize.

That's not all, the residents of Signus Five like to hold parties in their backyards,

They will find all kinds of reasons, such as a party for a child going to college, a party for an elderly family member who has a successful operation, and a wedding that cannot be sloppy, it must be grand.

Set up a BBQ barbecue grill in the yard, hire a barbecue chef, cook various hot and cold dishes, and reserve enough beer, champagne, whiskey, brandy, gin...

"God, it's such a hassle to get married!" Lynch was about to explode when he heard this:
"This is more troublesome than fighting! It's too difficult to be an ordinary person..."

"Hahaha!" The old lady next door wrinkled her face with a smile: "What's wrong with this, big man, you are the master, and there are still many things that need you to worry about in your future life!"

"Grandma, is it too late for me to regret it now?" Lynch joked.

"Afraid of being overwhelmed? Then increase the manpower!"

The old lady glanced at Sigdrifa, then tiptoed to Lynch's ear and whispered:

"Hey, big guy, join our Mormon Church, you can legally polygamous, I am the second wife in the family, don't worry about women fighting, our three daughters-in-law get along as well as real sisters!"

"Let me join the church again..." Lynch covered his face in a broken voice and said, "Are you all missionaries?"

"What's wrong, we Mormons love each other, look at this planet, how beautiful it is!"

"It's true...but I also have freedom of belief."

"Don't worry, go to church more, you will figure it out sooner or later!"

Seeing Lynch's troubled look, the nosy old lady went to talk to Sigdelifa again:
"Hey! Little daughter-in-law, how many children do you plan to have?"

"what?"

Seeing the old man's enthusiastic smile, Sigurdriefa could only respond with a wry smile:

"Grandma... Your question is really embarrassing... One? Two?"

"Two?" The old lady's eyes widened in surprise, "How can that be done!
Our Mormon daughters-in-law have to have five or six children!Seven or eight are not fresh!More than ten are great!She is a hero mother, and the star district government subsidizes the medals! "

"Ah...this..."

Sigurdriefa's face was pale, and she looked at her stomach worriedly, which made Lynch laugh:
"It's good enough, grandma, I understand why there are children running around everywhere in the street."

"Are you mocking us?" The old lady seemed a little annoyed: "Don't think I don't know! You urbanites always joke that we Mormons are country bumpkins! Having a baby is like a piggy!"

"No!" Lynch hurriedly explained, "Sorry...I didn't mean that..."

"Too many people died in the war! Hey!"

The old lady sighed and said: "My eldest brother and second brother both joined the Terra Navy back then and never came back!

There are too few men, less than [-]% of them, and the widows and old girls all over the street can't get married, so the star district government no longer cares about us Mormons marrying more and having more children!There is a reason for everything, do you understand? "

"Don't be angry. Although we don't join the Mormon Church, we will respect local customs."

"Big man, you look fierce, but you speak very kindly... you know how to respect the elderly."

Lynch held the old hand: "Respect, and understand you 100%."

He didn't lie, he witnessed the cruelty of the war with his own eyes,
Lynch knew that Signus [-] was the key conscription area back then, and almost every family had their children and grandchildren participating in the war.

After the defeat in the Thorne [-] star field, the task force had almost no survivors,
15 people were killed and 6 people were missing, which suddenly caused an imbalance in the ratio of men to women. It is no wonder that these conservative Mormons are somewhat fearful of war.

Listening to the old lady's endless complaints, Lynch gradually understood her mood and thought:
(Although they did not hear the sound of guns and screams, they have already experienced the horror of war. It is no wonder that these Mormons are so yearning for a peaceful pastoral life, and they risk their lives to have children...

But war is a bottomless pit... There will never be peace, the human federation and aliens are competing for resources, maybe a week, maybe half a year, the next large-scale battle will break out, and then there will be conscription again.

I'm old...let the young carry on with it all. )
After seeing off the enthusiastic old lady in the neighborhood, it was nearly dusk, and Lynch was checking the electrical circuit of the house when he suddenly heard the smoke alarm beeping loudly.

"What's wrong? The kitchen is full of smoke! Get the fire extinguisher!"

"There's no fire...my pie is burnt..."

Sigurdriefa was extremely embarrassed, her face was blackened, like a naughty girl who did something wrong:
"Really, I messed up again, and I want to show you a hand."

"Turn on the exhaust fan to let out the smoke, let's go, let's go to the neighbor's house to grab a meal, the old lady will welcome us."

"Thank you, never blame me for being stupid."

"What qualifications do I have to blame you? In terms of housework, we are both primary school students, so let's study with humility."

The neighbor's family was so enthusiastic that it was already late at night when they came back. At this time, the smoke in the kitchen had been emptied, and it was too late to clean up. They had to rest after washing.

A tidy bedroom with just the right room temperature, a wide and soft big bed, everything is comfortable and cosy,
Looking at her fiancé's broad back, Sigurdlifa felt that she was the happiest person in the world:

"Why don't you turn off the lights, do you want...that?"

She lost all sleepiness in an instant, and excitedly wanted to take off her pajamas, but Lynch poured cold water on her:
"Forgive me, dear, I'm tired after a day's work."

Sigurdriefa was a little disappointed, re-buttoned her pajamas, stood up and observed;
Lynch was lying on his side, holding a booklet in his hand with a letter inside, and read it repeatedly with the dim bedside lamp.

She has been busy with setting up a house recently, and only then did she realize that Lynch hadn't read any other books recently, as if he had been in a daze, and had been reading those two things.

"Are you still reading... that letter? That book is in Bellwood's possession?"

"Well... I don't want to read it."

Lynch closed the booklet, put it in the bedside table, and turned off the bedside lamp:

"Sorry for interrupting your rest."

Uncharacteristically, without hugging or kissing, he just pulled the quilt tightly with his back to her.

Sigdrifa asked worriedly, "You're not... angry with me, are you?"

"Stop thinking about it."

"You still have your eyes open, right? What are you worried about? Let's hear it."

"I don't worry about anything, everything is fine, dear."

Lynch lied, then turned around and kissed his forehead:
"Go to sleep, I have to install the pool filter tomorrow."
