Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

June 19

Early in the morning, just after 7 o'clock, the sun's eager rays have filled the eastern agricultural base. On the vast fields, green plants are swaying in the breeze. The fields are already crowded with people, and many people have already started. A day's work.

The management vehicles of Section 12 were driving on the criss-crossing grid roads. In many farmlands closer to the headquarters of Section 12, many people had been working for almost half an hour.

There was a sound of running water, boiling heat, and the overflowing aroma. Ye Chunwang took the freshly brewed tea and poured it for the several directors in front of him.

However, among these directors, there is a pair of dark-skinned mother and son, who are also waiting seriously. Among them, the mother Bayek is only a level 3 scientific officer. Ye Chunwang plans to arrange some experimental tasks for the research team today. He It is necessary to review some recent crop experimental data before arranging work.

Bayek was as alert as ever and looked very serious. Ye Chunwang smiled and brought the tea to her. She quickly stood up and thanked her repeatedly, and several council officers laughed knowingly.

"There is no need for Bayek to raise you to the position of director every time you work for a few more years."

Bayek smiled happily, and his son Larry happily watched the scene in front of him. Good luck came to the mother and son. This was unimaginable for the mother and son. Larry was just 11 years old this year. Every day They all work in the fields with their mother. In their free time, many people in the field will teach this child something. This child is very shy like his mother, but he is very studious and diligent. Everyone is willing to teach this child more. Some.

Bayek has not yet passed the official examination of the Acting Department, so the salary cannot be paid according to the level of an officer at her level. Once the system of the Acting Department is initially established, there is no room for change, although there will be people like Bayek. A special case, but you must not modify the recruitment system of the practice department just for a special case. This will allow many people to take advantage of the loopholes. When this examination system was first set, there were different voices, but soon these voices began to change because of Baye Ke mother and son's outstanding performance and slowly stopped.

Especially after Ye Chunwang took over Section 12 again, Bayek and Larry's abilities were fully unleashed. This mother and son are very talented in planting.

In the past, after Larry's father died, Bayek could only hide in XZ with his infant son. If it weren't for the investigation of the underworld led by Alpha, Bayek might never see the light of day in his life. His son Larry would also die from a childhood illness.

Bayek was very grateful to Alpha and wanted to thank Alpha in person, but unfortunately such a thing was no longer possible.

Ye Chunwang carefully looked at the data on some experimental plants. The experimental team had written down the experimental data in detail and made a personal conclusion and analysis.

The process will not be too long. Ye Chunwang will often synthesize some of everyone's analytical conclusions and then start the next step of experimental work.

In just half an hour, Ye Chunwang read all the records, then nodded with a smile.

"Thank you very much for your hard work recently. This set of experimental data is very good. E847 and A948 need further improvement. You can adjust the layered structure of the soil and the ratio of nutrient solution. You may get unexpected results. This Our main experiment this month is..."

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and everyone in the planting experimental shed looked over. Just as everyone was about to get up, Gene motioned for everyone to continue, and then stood next to a pillar, and Ye Chunwang continued to speak.

In just 10 minutes, Ye Chunwang finished everything, and then everyone stood up and left, intending to start their work at hand. When passing by Jean, everyone bowed slightly.

Jean smiled and looked at Larry when Bayek and his son finally passed by.

"Larry, aren't you going to school?"

Gene asked. All the knowledge this child has today is taught by people in the field. Although he is easy to learn, many things are fragmented and half-understood. Moreover, he is already 11 years old. If he does not accept the systematic If you study, you will have many difficulties in the future.

Bayek stopped. She had also considered the matter of her children, and planned to let Larry go to school to study formally, and then enter university to study systematically and comprehensively. Only in this way can he lay a solid foundation for the future.

Larry shook his head shyly, and then quickly followed. Bayek hesitated a little, because if Larry enrolled in school, which school would he go to, and at what stage of education would he start? The most troublesome problem is that Larry is now 11 years old. Basic education started when he was 6 to 7 years old. For Larry now, age is a problem, and Bayek doesn’t know anyone in the city. .

"Just leave it to me, Miss Bayek. All you need to do is convince Larry to go to school."

Bayek hurriedly said thank you, and Jean nodded with a smile.

Watching Bayek leave, Ye Chunwang brought over a cup of tea. Jean took a sip and sat on a chair in the shed. Ye Chunwang washed the dirt on his hands at the table beside him, and then picked up his uniform.

"It's true! Give me a granddaughter!"

"The child is very unstable now, and because of the drugs, he has memory problems and some mental problems. I am helpless Xiaoye, so I can only leave the child to you. This will not affect her future growth. I think it is very necessary.”

Ye Chunwang smiled and hummed.

"I will be responsible for teaching her well. It's just that there is one more person in the family. My wife and children agree that it will be no problem. I think I can do a good job."

"Sorry."

Gene said, and the two of them got up and started walking. When they arrived outside the experimental base, a lift was parked here. Ye Chun looked back at the experimental base behind him and said with a smile.

"That kid is special."

"She looks a lot like you, Xiaoye."

Ye Chunwang hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Some places are similar. I plan to train this child well, and in the future I will give him the agricultural base that is related to the problem of eating in the city."

Gene nodded, raised his head and looked at the sun with a smile. Then Ye Chunwang opened the door of the lift, walked in and sat in the driver's seat.

"Hurry up, I have left everything to Natasha. I will work at home for the time being. I will take the child to get used to it for a month."

Gene hummed and entered the lift.

At this time, Bayek, who was in the shed, was lying on a pile of soil, adjusting the amount of soil layer. In order to make the crops grow better and produce faster, these meticulous adjustments were carried out. , is very cumbersome, but in the past few years that Bayek and his son have been working on it, they have solved many problems with experimental crops in the past 12 families. Some experimental crops have been put into cultivation and have achieved very good results.

Bayek walked over, looked at the values ​​​​on a light and shadow screen, watched his son adjust carefully, and sat down with a smile.

"Larry, can you stop for a moment? Mom wants to talk to you about something."

Larry hummed, smiled and patted the dirt off his hands and sat next to Bayek. Growing up, Larry only had eyes for his mother's back. He grew up on his mother's back. When he was young, he was carried on his mother's back and worked in the agricultural field all day long. Until he could walk, Larry always followed his mother. He would follow his mother to the farmland every day to help his mother. Larry liked it very much. everything of.

Running freely on this land every day, although sometimes it is very tiring, Larry likes it here very much and he does not want to leave. Larry roughly knows what his mother wants to talk to him.

"Go to school Larry."

Larry lowered his head shyly and shook it with a smile.

"It's fine now."

Bayek touched his son's head, smiled and pulled his son over, leaning into his arms.

"Can you tell mom why you don't want to go?"

Larry didn't know what to say for a moment. He just didn't want to leave this land. Larry shook his head. He couldn't say anything.

"I'm afraid, Mom, you are too tired."

Bayek patted his son's face.

"Silly boy, my mother's workload is much lighter now than before. Although she has some physical ailments, I have asked the doctor and it can be cured. Recently, my waist no longer hurts much at night."

Larry smiled and nodded.

In the past, there was no smile on her son's face, and she just followed Bayek blankly. She was always very careful about what her son did, because their backgrounds were not very good. They used to be black households, and she chose to work here all the time. , just because she didn’t even know the words and didn’t know anything, so she could only do some manual labor. She would not be able to survive with her children in the city.

What he didn't expect was that because of a meticulous move, Ye Chunwang saw Bayek's talent, which made their lives a little more comfortable.

Bayek has endured countless things with Larry over the years. She just wanted to work seriously and support her son, but God opened a door for mother and son.

In the past, Larry always had low self-esteem and was very timid. He was always as cautious as his mother about everything around him. Now Bayek has also noticed this problem. His son, like himself, looks at external things in a humble way.

"Larry, don't worry, we will be happy in the future, you just need to hold your head up and walk out."

Kari hummed and said nothing, but stood up and walked over.

"Mom, let's get to work quickly."

Bayek knew that it was because of him that his son had become just like him, humble and cowardly. Now his son was 11 years old. People often say that you look old at the age of three. Bayek was a little panicked. She didn't know what to do. Only in this way can our sons be more confident. It is clear that they are the same as others and there is nothing different about them.

In the past, Bayek's dead husband also said that he felt that there was no need to live such a humble life, but Bayek knew very well that the reason why he was so cowardly and humble was because when he was a child, when he started to understand things, I spent time in the orphanage. After I gained some strength, I spent the whole day in some small workshops. I could only hide and not see the light.

When Bayek was growing up, the people and things he came into contact with were all at the lowest level. Many people were never able to stand under the sun. This started from the time they were born, and they were surrounded by those at the bottom who were also unable to stand under the sun. People are taught that they have to pay taxes. Taxes are very high. The society outside is not easy to live in. They can only survive. If they don’t hide, they won’t be able to survive.

Ignorance is the root cause of all these problems. In the era when Alpha was in power, the treatment of black households would not be as severe as it is now. In the past, there were even daily teachings in 12 courses specifically for black households.

Anyone who wants to go can go. It was in this class that Bayek gradually learned to read. She did not want her son to continue to be imprinted with her own shadow, so that under this shadow called humility and cowardice, her son would not be able to Future.

After coming into contact with many people, Bayek himself gradually became able to think. Ye Chunwang would chat with himself about some things from time to time when arranging his work. It was the things in these years that made Bayek notice the problem. .

Bayek is no longer the ignorant girl who didn't know where to go when her son was critically ill but didn't know where to go. Thinking about it carefully, if someone from Section 5 had noticed it a little later, Larry would have died.

Now when Bayek goes out, he always goes to meet the people from Section 5 who arrested him from time to time and brings some gifts.

Seeing that Larry was still doing it seriously and carefully, Bayek walked over. She had already made up her mind that she must let her son go out and completely break away from this feeling of cowardice.

11 o'clock in the morning

Ye Chunwang and Jean arrived at the hospital on the upper floor of Area 3. Ye Chunwang had already put on a gray suit and a hat, looking very formal.

"Is it really okay? Will that little girl come with me?"

Gene thought for a moment and then said.

"No problem, that girl will definitely be fine."

The two of them arrived at a ward on the seventh floor. Gene knocked on the door and opened the door after a while. Ye Jiao, who was on the hospital bed, looked out the window blankly.

"How's it going lately!"

As soon as Jean walked over, Ye Jiao began to sob and cry. Jean sat quietly on the edge of the bed, letting the little girl who was holding him and crying vent her anger.

Ye Jiao already knew that her father was gone. Jean did not tell her the reason. But the only thing Ye Jiao knew was that her parents often said that Mr. Jean was a trustworthy person, and Jean had also I often go to the candy store. Every time I go there, I talk to Ye Jiao, play games with her, and teach Ye Jiao something.

A few days before my father's accident, he also said that if you have any questions, go to Mr. Jean and he will definitely help.

Jean comforted Ye Jiao and could only pat her back gently. Jean no longer wanted to think about what was right or wrong about Ye Lai. That kind of candy was indeed distributed through Ye Lai's hands, and that The mutant named Latu who had fled to the barrier area was indeed the instigator. There is no evidence that McCullin was involved.

This matter has passed and settled down, and Gene knows clearly that what he has to do now is to settle the future of this little girl.

"Jiaojiao, that's your distant grandfather, named Ye Chunwang."

Ye Jiao stared blankly, and as soon as she looked over, Ye Chunwang came over with a smile and looked at Ye Jiao tenderly.

"I didn't know this would happen. I'm sorry, kid. You can live in my house from now on."

Ye Jiao looked at Ye Chunwang hesitantly. She had heard about Ye Chunwang, but her parents had never told her that she had a distant grandfather.

"I will come to see you Jiaojiao often. I have been very busy at work and you will be discharged from the hospital today."

Ye Jiao reluctantly hugged Gene's arm and started sobbing again.

Ye Chunwang smiled on the side, and could only maintain such a kind smile, because the child did not believe in him, that was for sure. As for why he said that he was the child's distant grandfather, it was just to increase the child's sense of security. That’s all.

After a while, Ye Jiao looked out the window blankly, with sadness on her childish expression. She seemed to be still thinking about something. Jean was still waiting quietly and did not urge Ye Jiao to make a decision.

"By the way, Jiaojiao, what do you think of the room arrangement like this?"

At this time, Ye Chunwang opened his mouth and called up a light and shadow screen. It was a girl's room that looked very cute. There were many things for girls in it, as well as an overall pink decoration.

Gene smiled and shook his head.

"I don't know what girls like nowadays, so I decorated it based on the most popular little princess decoration on the Internet."

Ye Jiao's eyes began to be attracted by the room decoration on the light and shadow screen. She wanted to speak, but she stopped.

"Do I think this tone is a little too exaggerated?"

As Jean spoke, Ye Chunwang laughed, and then brought out some things that were moved from Ye Jiao's home. Ye Jiao looked at them in trance for a while. Every one of these things in the house was very familiar.

Gradually, Ye Jiao was also attracted by the conversation between the two, and Gene said with a smile.

"Jiaojiao, if you are dissatisfied with anything, you can directly talk to your distant grandpa."

Ye Chunwang nodded, and Ye Jiao nodded slightly.

"I'll go help you with the discharge procedures."

Jean stood up, and Ye Chunwang immediately came over, holding the light and shadow screen, and asked Ye Jiao something seriously. Jean relaxed a little. Ye Chunwang's kindness from the bottom of his heart should be able to make Ye Jiao notice it. .

After Gene walked out of the ward, he saw Hua Shen leaning to the side.

"Why are you here! Are you worried?"

Huashen smiled and nodded.

"I'm really worried. What they gave this child to drink is a new type of chronic poison that is difficult to detect. It will eventually cause the illusion of sudden cardiac death. But where did such a drug come from? I’m puzzled by this.”

"I'll investigate later."

Jean said, having already learned some facts from the arrested handler, and the handler also confessed some things from the black market. This colorless and odorless drug has been circulating in the black market for a while. And no one knows where the source is.

Someone has seen a person selling this drug, but he always covers his face every time he comes. It is certain that this guy selling drugs cannot be found in the city's population login information.

"Maybe it's a researcher left behind by the Hillman family."

Huashen reminded him that what he was thinking of was a couple he knew in the past. However, the couple had died in the accident. However, after the Hillman family's crimes were exposed, the couple was still alive. Death was just an illusion caused by their clones dying on site. At that time, the city did not clone and identify some of the dead technicians, and the clones of those dead technicians had already been cremated.

"This child is very lucky, which can be called a miracle. Perhaps it has something to do with the congenital obsessive-compulsive disorder she originally suffered from. It can be said that this child's willpower is very strong. The degree of drug erosion has become very strong. Slowly so this child can survive.”

Gene nodded and walked slowly.

"What are you going to do?"

Huashen shook his head, turned around and waved.

"Continue to teach and educate people and train excellent doctors for the city."

"That's good!"

Gene nodded and walked slowly.

At 12:37, Ye Jiao followed Ye Chunwang to his home. Ye Chunwang's family had already arranged a welcome party, but Ye Jiao still looked a little reluctant at this time.

"Jiaojiao, I have a lot of work every day, but I will come over to see you after a while."

Ye Jiao hummed and agreed with Gene's decision, but she still felt uneasy inside.

"By the way, Jiaojiao, look at the tree in the yard. Every time it blooms, I will come over."

Ye Jiao looked over happily, and Gene stretched out his hand to hook up with Ye Jiao.

"Mr. Jean, can I go find you!"

Gene smiled, lifted up his uniform, lit a cigarette, and walked slowly.

"You can do it anytime, but you have to grow up!"

Ye Jiao looked at Jean leaving with reluctance, and Ye Chunwang laughed.

"If you coax children like this every time, there is no way this tree will bloom."

Ye Jiao looked at the yard with some doubts. The bright sunshine filled the ground. Everything in the yard was well taken care of. The corners of her mouth raised slightly. Ye Chunwang took her hand and walked in. The family members welcomed her. come over.

Ye Chunwang looked helplessly at the tree, which was much thicker than before. He turned around and closed the courtyard door with emotion.

Ye Chunwang heard that it was Hawke who took action this time. He didn't know what Hawke was thinking. Maybe he was very entangled when he took action, or maybe he was very relaxed.

"Let's sit over there and have a drink some other time."

Jean was walking on the street, thinking about some questions in his head. Is it the existing shadow or the light first? And where should he stand? In the future, the city will still need to face many problems. There are many problems. There are countless questions, but every problem is intertwined in light and shadow.

Jean thought of the mother and son in the agriculture department again. Jean was always full of hope for the future. He looked back at the residential area behind him and let out a long puff of smoke.

Gene also realized that if there were more people like Ye Chunwang in this city, maybe everything would be different. No matter when, where, or what position, he would always have the most primitive kindness in his heart and do things. Everything you say is based on the kindness reflected in this kindness.

Jean has also made up his mind. What he needs to do in the future is to push these kind people up and try to do things that are completely different from the past. This is also a path that Jean has agreed with countless people in the past and may work.

"Let's give it a try first. I haven't seen that girl for a long time, so I'll go down first."

Jean jumped onto a building with a smile, overlooking the city bathed in light in the distance. However, the light on the lower floors was still a little dim, and there was a feeling of dark clouds covering the sky. The strong light only reached the middle floor. .

Jean planned to go see Niya. The girl had changed a lot now, but her personality was still the same as before, without much change. Jean thought this was pretty good.

"Let's go for a run first."

Jean smiled and bowed down. Light blue particles emerged on the surface of Jean's body, and he turned into a blue light and streaked into the distance.
