Star Farming

Chapter 1 Pie
The interstellar year is 33890, the earth is June 4734, the weather this year is hotter than in previous years, the air in the air seems to be still, and it is so dull that people are going crazy. The thermometer shows only 6 degrees, but it behaves as if it is already in the forties Moderate.

At this time, the people in the carriage were either sleeping or playing games, or chatting quietly, only Yang Tao seemed to be attracted by some beautiful scenery outside the window, staring intently without blinking.

After getting off the suspension car, Yang Tao walked home with a luggage bag. She just graduated from the Department of Agriculture at M University this year, and her job has not yet been found. She plans to find a job close to home. Mother gets along well.

Yang Tao thinks of her mother, the person with beautiful eyes, the relationship between the two is always indifferent, and the time they spend together every year can be counted on ten fingers. Sometimes when she sees her classmates talking to their parents, she can't help but wonder Is the relationship between them abnormal?Yang Tao shook her head and smiled wryly, perhaps because of the relationship of a single-parent family, her mother put all her energy on work and ignored her, which is understandable.

However, now that she has graduated, as long as she finds a good job, her mother won't have to work so hard, and the mother and daughter can spend more time together. Thinking of this, Yang Tao's steps are much lighter.

Carambola's house is not in the city center, but in a neighborhood in the suburbs. Although it is not lively, compared with other places, the human touch here is much stronger, which is really rare in this world where everyone pursues strength.

Turning the corner, Yang Tao stopped in front of the gate of the community, stretched out her hand to press the fingerprint display, and at the same time, a light swept across her eyes, and then came the cold voice of the robot, "Pupillary scanning, fingerprint identification, Building B Carambola in Room 302, your identity is confirmed, you are allowed to pass, the door is opening, please wait."

After entering the gate of the community, Yang Tao hadn't taken two steps when she heard the voice of the robot behind her, "Yang Tao, Room 302, Building B, has your package, please sign for it."

Yang Tao felt strange, she didn't have many friends, who would send her something?
After fingerprinting, Yang Tao took her package from the robot, and was surprised to find that it was something she sent home from school.Yang Tao frowned, what's going on, she remembered that she was still at home when she called her mother before, why didn't anyone sign for it?
Because the things were a bit heavy, Yang Tao asked the robot to deliver them to her door. After going through various verifications, and with a lot of effort, she dragged the package into the house. Here were the books she bought in school in the past few years.Now that everyone has their own personal computer, there are not many people who use physical books, so the price of books varies according to the materials, but she bought the most expensive one, which is worth as much as her Half a month's living expenses, but fortunately she has to go to work, otherwise she can't afford these books at all.

This is a small suite with two bedrooms and one living room. She and her mother share one room. Although the space is a bit small, it is enough for two people to live in.After placing the books, Yang Tao entered her mother's room and found that it was empty, except for furniture, there was nothing else, what's going on?

Sitting down at the desk, Yang Tao suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, opened the personal communicator in her left hand, found her mother's number, contacted her, and waited for the connection.

"Sorry, the number you contacted does not exist!" The cold voice of the computer came, the sound was like two iron bars sawing there, it was harsh and uncomfortably harsh.

Yang Tao pressed it again in disbelief, but the result was still the same. What happened, she felt very uneasy, did something happen to her mother, why did the number become empty, she obviously did not press the wrong number, this number is indeed her mother I have been using it!
You must know that the personal number will not become an empty number unless the user logs out personally. Mother, why did you cancel the number and cut off contact with her? If there is something wrong, why didn't she say it when she called her before.

Yang Tao pressed the table with one hand, trying to recall what her mother said that day.

"Yangtao, I'm not by your side, take good care of yourself."

By the way, it was these words, Yang Tao suddenly opened his eyes, and finally understood what was wrong.At this time, if there are sensitive people present, they will surely find that Yang Tao's brown eyes turn golden in an instant, which is so fast that people mistakenly think it is his own illusion, but when he looks again, they are still brown.

The conversation at that time was the same as usual, except for the last sentence, which was said for the first time, which hinted at her, is she going to leave her?

"Didi...Didi..." A burst of electronic voice sounded, recalling Yang Tao's thoughts.

The voice came from in front of him, Yang Tao looked at it, and found that it was an electronic clock placed on the corner of the table, and the time on it had stopped rotating long ago.Carambola reached out and took it, gently rubbed it, and wiped away the non-existent dust.

"Didi... Didi... Carambola, you have graduated from university now and can live independently. Don't ask me where I am going, and don't look for me. Also, the house is rented and it will expire at the end of July. I hope you can Find a good job and take care of yourself. Didi... Didi..." The mother's familiar voice came from the clock in her hand.

Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, and checked the clock, it turned out to be a small recorder attached to it.In her heart, she always had doubts about her mother, and she always felt that they were not like mother and daughter. She kept burying her doubts and didn't ask them, feeling that if she asked, their mother-daughter relationship would end here.

However, no matter how much she resisted, this day still came.

Didn't you even tell her to leave? It was conveyed through this cold machine. The last hope in Yang Tao's heart was shattered, and she didn't want to go to her. If one day she met her in the vast crowd, she just wanted to ask , why did you give up on me?

Although the relationship with her mother has always been weak, Yang Tao couldn't figure out the reason for it. On a hot day, she suddenly felt as if she was in an ice cellar, and her whole body was icy and cold.She reached out and grabbed the small gourd pendant on her chest, looking for a little warmth. She has always been very sensible, even if she really wanted to know about her father, but after seeing her mother's ugly face, she stopped talking and gave a wry smile. With her own emotions, she got up and left. It turned out that no one could stay by her side all the time. Fortunately, she was used to it, and living alone would not be bad.

The housekeeping robot is second-hand, and Yang Tao calls it Yaya. Although it occasionally breaks down, it has helped her a lot. After cleaning the house inside and out, the depressed mother left behind After being dispersed, Yang Tao got up and connected to the computer to search for recruitment information.

Since this family is no longer considered a family, there is no limit to the scope of work.

Carambola graduated from the Department of Agriculture of M University, which is the most popular major and the easiest to find a job. Suddenly, she missed the experimental field of the school, the fragrance of the soil, and the plants she watered bit by bit. , so far I don't know what it looks like.

Personal computers are very popular nowadays, and in a short while, all the information that Carambola wanted was sorted out.Carambola looked over one by one. They were all companies from Interstellar Foreign Trade, hiring product appraisers, and some farm recruitment information, but there were not many, only five.

Yang Tao sorted it out, there are three in the north, and the other two are in the middle of the country, it seems that the scale is quite large, and the information is saved, and Yang Tao is going to study it carefully before deciding whether to send a resume to the past.

After wandering around the Internet for a while, Carambola stopped on a page, which was the government’s webpage, and it was about recruiting volunteers to go to the alien sea for newly developed satellites, especially agriculture majors, because that satellite happened to be a A planet suitable for planting.

Looking at the photos of the subsidiary star on the website, there are not many, many of them are plains and hills, which seem to be very suitable for planting crops, but from the perspective of carambola, it should not be that simple. This planet should not only be seen in the photos Of these, what is there in the places that have not been seen, these ordinary people will naturally not know.

Picking up the boiled water that Yaya put aside, Yang Tao took a sip, and began to consider whether to apply for a subsidiary star, which would be a different kind of challenge for her.

However, for volunteers, the requirements for mental power and physical skills must be quite high, and Yang Tao, her mental power and physical skills test values ​​were close to zero when she was young, and she was ridiculed by many people at that time .

People whose mental and physical test scores are higher than four can be admitted to institutions of higher learning, and their status has been different from other people since then, because most of them will enter the national army in the future, or they will also serve the country. So tempting.

The benefit is that everyone has a fixed natural food ration every day. Now, except for those who own the fields, it is very difficult for ordinary people to buy natural agricultural products, so they can only eat that. Tasteless synthetic or cell proliferation and division food, and occasionally buy a little bit of relatively expensive products from other planets.

What's ridiculous is that those benefits are provided by ordinary people whose test value is less than four, especially agricultural products, because people with higher mental strength and physical skills are more sensitive to food, and pure natural agricultural products are very important for cultivation. There are more than just one or two benefits.Because of this, the price of the earth's agricultural products has remained high throughout the interstellar world, and has a tendency to rise higher and higher, but the supply is still in short supply.

It is not that other planets do not have agricultural products, but there is no planet with such rich species as the earth, and their functions are not as good as the earth, and the better ones may only reach a quarter of the earth. A piece of fat that the planet is coveting, but it is also maintained in a strange balance because of the unique products of the earth.

For ordinary people, as long as they own a small piece of land, they will have enough food and drink for the rest of their lives. Therefore, no one will sell their arable land at all.As for Yangtao, owning a farm of her own is her long-standing dream. Although this dream is so far away for her, she is still working hard for it step by step.

After thinking about it carefully, Yang Tao decided to give up filling in as a volunteer. The new affiliated star will never be a peaceful place. If her life is gone, how can she study her favorite thing?

Turning off the computer, Carambola got up to prepare food. Although Yaya can do it, she still likes to do it by herself, even though what she always cooks is to boil all the ingredients in boiling water and mix them with seasonings, because only Only by doing it herself can she feel that the room is full of fireworks and feels like home.

Just after eating, Yang Tao received a message from the doorman robot with her letter.

Looking at the unfamiliar address and postmark on the letter, Yang Tao felt strange. No. 25, the back hall of Hetian Village, had never been heard of before. What is in it?After Yang Tao took out the documents inside, she was stunned for a moment, she rubbed her eyes vigorously, brought the paper closer to her eyes and read it carefully several times, she was right, the two large characters on it were indeed correct, The title deed, and the owner's name is star fruit.

A big pie fell out of thin air, and everyone would be very happy, but Yang Tao always felt that something was wrong, not to mention whether the land deed was real or fake, just in her memory, their family did not have any relatives, so It can't be legacy or something.But if it was sent by mistake, the name written on it was correct, and the address was also correct. Yang Tao didn't think there was another star fruit in this room, unless the hell happened.

It was a happy thing, but now it turned into a hot potato in Yang Tao's hands, and he didn't take it or throw it away.It's a lie to say that she doesn't want it, but the reason is unknown, she is afraid of problems, and she has nothing to rely on now.

Thinking about it, Carambola was so bored, a piece of delicious pie was clearly in front of her eyes, but she was too timid to take it off, she was really aggrieved.

After hesitating for two days, Yang Tao found the contact information of the village committee of Hetian Village on the Internet and asked about the authenticity of the land deed. As long as the person in charge there checked it, everything would be clear.

It's just that Wada Cun's reply didn't come back until two days later, and Yang Tao found out that she picked a rest time at someone's house, and couldn't help feeling ashamed of her sloppyness.

Hetian Village confirmed that the letter was indeed sent by the village committee, and said that it was requested by the client.

Yang Tao didn't ask who the client was from the other party, but she learned that the land deed had always been written in her name, and that the land was leased to the people of the village a year ago, and the village kept it according to the law. The client requested that the land be left unused for one year before the title deed would be sent to her.

Carambola, whose heart had been hanging all this time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and temporarily put the mysterious client behind her. She finally owned a piece of land of her own. Although it was far from the farm of her dreams, it was far from her dream farm. The goal is finally one step closer.

I finally finished the exam, and the result was terrible. Maybe I have to take an overnight train to come back to make up the exam... So, now I dug a hole...
