The sea rises one meter a day [End Times]
Chapter 224
"Of course a big day like marriage should be celebrated with red roses!"
"Red is too gaudy with this wedding dress! White is more dusty, isn't it?"
"She is married and not a monk, what kind of world do she want!"
"According to you, it's more festive to wear a red jacket with big flowers!"
……
Jiang Yuedong's fiancée, Selina, was standing at the door when she heard the two brothers and sisters arguing inside.This is also a regular repertoire.
Another sister-in-law might avoid it at this time, after all, it is not easy to participate in the affairs of the brothers and sisters.But Selena is born to love to join in the fun.
Knocking on the door and letting in, Selena opened the door and poked her head in. A face that was delicate enough to have its own smooth skin stretched in, blinking at the two brothers and sisters.
"What's the matter? I heard you arguing from a long distance away." After practicing Chinese for several years, Selina's accent is still a bit strange, but it doesn't affect communication.
"It's your bouquet! Didn't you agree that I'll do it myself? I think your wedding dress should be paired with white roses. My brother insists that red is auspicious. You're already wearing a white wedding dress, so why are you so particular about that? He Don't fight with me." Jiang Yue quickly walked a few steps and grabbed his sister-in-law.
Selena was still busy with the wedding process just now, after listening to what my sister-in-law said, she thought about it quite seriously.
"Red roses and white roses?"
Jiang Yuedong immediately said: "We will do whatever you say."
Selina said: "But I want jasmine! It's my lucky flower, and it's very fragrant."
"But Jasmine doesn't match your skirt!" Apparently Jiang Yue insisted on matching.
"Then change the wedding dress."
"But it's already been half a year for us to make the wedding dress, and it will be delayed if we change the wedding dress."
"...It's really not possible, all three?"
"No!" the two girls said in unison.
"What nonsense is that!"
Usually two people quarreled, and the third person came to either persuade the quarrel or resolve the conflict. Selina didn't take the usual path and joined in directly, making the original argument even more chaotic.
……
12 years after the end of the world.
Facing the application form for the college entrance examination, Dou Yanyan didn't move after reading it all night. She really couldn't think of where she should go in the future.
There was a knock on the door, and Dou Linwei came in with a bowl of noodles.
"Auntie asleep?" Dou Yanyan asked in a low voice.It is usually the aunt who delivers the supper.
Since the auntie came in, the two of them have been getting along well. They are not so much mother and daughter, but more like sisters from relatives. There is a sense of distance, but they are also close.
Dou Yanyan is quite content.
Dou Linwei put his face down and glanced at the college entrance examination application in Dou Yanyan's hand.
"Didn't you say you wanted to study medicine before? It's also compatible with your abilities."
Dou Yanyan is a precious supernatural being with medical abilities.Ever since she was able to detect the abilities of supernatural beings, Dou Yanyan has always been a star.
Everyone also tacitly agreed that she will become a famous doctor who can help the world in the future.
"I just feel that there should be more choices. Just like Brother Li and the others." Dou Yanyan is at a time when she is confused about the future, and the world is still recovering from the catastrophe of that year.All industries are waiting to be flourished, and there are a lot of careers that can make the future stand higher and look farther. There is really no need to focus on this aspect only.
Seeing that her daughter was worried, she said: "Then don't rush to choose, and you should discuss it with your teacher."
"The teacher asked me to study medicine, saying that I have a stable job, a stable job, and it is easy to find a partner in the hospital." Dou Yanyan sneered, "I don't know if it was an idea hundreds of years ago."
"Why don't you ask Brother Li and the others?" Dou Linwei suggested.
Dou Yanyan shook her head hesitantly: "I don't know what I want to do in the future. If there is a place I don't want to go, it will be even more difficult for me to choose."
Dou Linwei laughed angrily: "You child, you don't want to go here or there, why do you still want to go to heaven?"
Dou Yanyan was startled, looking through the window at the pitch-black outside.Now in a year, there are only a handful of days when you can see the stars.
Dou Yanyan remembers that her junior high school teacher said that if you go out of the atmosphere, you don't need to be blocked by clouds, and you can see the sky full of stars.
"Then tell me which major you should study if you want to go to heaven."
A few days later, Dou Yanyan resisted all opinions and filled in the Flight Academy of Air Force Aviation University as her first choice.
…………
No. 16 years after the end of the world.
When the suona sounded, hundreds of people stood on both sides of the road, looking at the team in front of them, all they could do was silently mourn and wish the living.
At the front of the coffin, Lei Ninghao, who was the only relative of the deceased, stood at the front.
It was rare for the sky to be sunny, but the hearts of those who attended the funeral were covered with clouds.
Behind Lei Ninghao was the coffin, in which lay his only relative.At this point, he was really alone.
This was Grandpa Lei's last wish before his death, hoping to have an old-fashioned funeral, which is already quite rare.It is impossible for him to return to the root of the fallen leaves, but he wants the only grandson after death to lead the way and lead him to find the way of reincarnation.
When people get old, they will always have weird demands.Lei Ninghao was completely satisfied.
The old man has not mutated, and after experiencing the great flood, he can live to be more than 70 years old, which is actually considered a long life.When Lei Ninghao grew up, he had already made preparations.
At this time, he was not so much sad as he was numb.
The sadness at this time cannot be expressed.
All the way to the crematorium, Li Hanfei personally carried the coffin for the old man, and put down the coffin at this time.He carried the old man out to the staff of the crematorium, and then arrived at Lei Ninghao's side.
In 18 years, Lei Ninghao has grown from a spooky little kid to an upright man.
Li Hanfei thought for a while, and finally just patted him on the shoulder.
After a while, Li Hanfei looked around, frowned and said, "Has Yanyan arrived yet?"
Not far away, Dou Linwei sighed helplessly: "It must be late, the fake approval is late, and it is probably still on the way. You said this girl, she really wants to be an air force, and it is not easy to come out now that she has something to do. "
Lei Ninghao didn't say anything to blame, but asked: "She should be graduating soon, right?"
Dou Linwei nodded: "She is about to graduate, and she still has to go to graduate school. It is said that she has to be outstanding enough in the pilot to have the opportunity to be qualified to become an astronaut."
Li Hanfei turned around and asked Yuecheng: "There should be a lot of demand for astronauts now, it's not as difficult as it was 20 years ago."
At present, the country has fully launched the space station and even the lunar space station plan, and the number of astronauts required is also increasing year by year.Therefore, the number of people who expand their enrollment each year is geometrically multiplied.
"The difficulty of being selected is lower, but the proportion of people who can actually go to the sky has increased by the same amount. If in the past, only the best 20 pilots were selected as astronauts, but only one person succeeded in going to the sky, now it is only [-]. One hundred astronauts are selected from the pilots. To be a candidate, one must be the elite of each unit, and it is really difficult to select the elite among them.”
"But Yanyan also has advantages. If she can go to the sky, it will be better than any military doctor." Li Hanfei also understands that people with special skills will have more opportunities than others.
Lei Ninghao looked at the sky, and said: "Maybe after two years, I will only be able to look up at her."
After a little silence, Li Hanfei asked Lei Ninghao again: "I remember you want to participate in the innovation of naval warships?"
"I'm going to the beach in three days," Lei Ninghao said. "My grandfather wants an old-fashioned funeral. I'm afraid I'll need your help for the first seven, three seven, and five sevens."
"This is a trivial matter. In fact, your master should be able to understand it if he knows it."
Lei Ninghao just smiled wryly.He went to college back then, and now he is an accomplished shipbuilding engineer.Now being able to be recruited by the army to carry out design and technical innovations on warships with various experts is the highest affirmation for him.
Everyone in this group has their own future path, and they all shine in their respective fields.
While chatting, the roar of machinery came from the sky.Everyone turned their eyes, just in time to see a helicopter flying over.It flew over the heads of the crowd and caused a storm on the ground.
Li Hanfei saw at a glance that it was a military helicopter, and then saw the helicopter hatch open.Throwing down a rope, Dou Yanyan in military uniform slid down the rope directly.
After getting down, Dou Yanyan gave a gesture to the above, and the helicopter dragged the rope and left, then turned to look at the coffin over there, and was startled.
"I'm late?"
In fact, everyone hasn't seen her for a long time. At least before seeing her, she still has waist-length hair, but now it has been cut into a neat short hair.Wearing the dark green military uniform of the Air Force, he looked taller, and his eyebrows and eyes were sharper than before.
Li Hanfei glanced at it, and couldn't help but think of the cowardly girl who hid behind her father back then. It must be admitted that the military academy can really change a lot of people.
Dou Yanyan's eyes turned red, she took off her helmet and walked in front of Lei Ninghao, regretfully saying, "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault. He should be very happy that you came here for the last time." Lei Ninghao thought about it and said, "Actually, he has nothing to regret in his life."
Dou Yanyan saw the numbness in the depths of his eyes, and directly opened her arms to hug him, so that his face could be buried on her shoulders.
"I once listened to a psychological course, saying that before the formation of life, people are unconscious. It cannot be said that they do not exist, but it can also be said to be nothingness. There is no time, no past and future. Death, in fact, just returns to the state before birth. Maybe It will also recombine a completely different life. It can be understood as another form of reincarnation."
Lei Ninghao's body trembled, and he listened to Dou Yanyan's words in a daze, and finally couldn't help but hugged Dou Yanyan's waist, and cried aloud.
Ever since Lei Ninghao died of his grandfather's breath, his chest has been clogged with anger.
From the preparations to the funeral, he was terribly calm.
He understood that many of those watching the excitement were talking about his performance, but he was so numb that he even forgot to cry.
Dou Yanyan grew up with him, and she is too familiar with this person in front of her.
And because of the same age, she knows best how to comfort and relieve the person in front of her.
Human life has an end.
Always have to face it.
……
20 years after the end of the world.
Among the first eight people back then, in fact, the Jiang family brothers and sisters had the least changes in their future development, and they were also the most secure.
A few years after the Great Flood, Jiangchu completely abandoned grain and concentrated on fruits and flowers.In the process of revival, people's sales of flowers picked up. Until No. 20 after the end of the world, Jiangchu has almost become the largest flower supplier in the country, with tens of thousands of flower greenhouses under it. Even so, in the peak season Sometimes there will be shortages.
Her sister-in-law, Selena, is a skin care formulator. She has formed a research and development team, which happens to use the raw materials supplied by her in the greenhouse and animal breeding in Jiangchu to develop skin care products.
The better the life, the higher people's demand for skin care.Selena focuses on niche and private orders, and the price is high, but there are also an endless stream of customers.Do something.
At the beginning of the month, Jiang Yue lived the days he most hoped for when he was a child.On weekdays, I tend flowers and plants, and I can change the house with different fresh bouquets every day.In my spare time, I started to learn flower arrangement, but I also learned a lot.
As she got older, she began to become more and more Buddhist, and she lost a bit of the drive she had back then. She gradually delegated power to trustworthy people in management, and it became more and more comfortable to keep her share.
I was still taking a nap that day, and it was windy and rainy outside. This is quite common in the weather after the flood, and it is more frequent than eating and drinking.
Sleeping Zhengxiang heard the bell, and Jiang Yue rolled around on the bed twice before sitting up, went out to open the door, and saw Selena, the sweeper, coming in wearing a raincoat.
"He's still walking around in this heavy rain." Jiang Yue hurriedly found a towel and handed it over, and helped him take off his raincoat.
"It's been raining for several days. If you don't go out, you'll be bored to death." Selena wiped the ends of her hair that were soaked in water, and then she sat on the chair while Jiang Yue poured him a glass of water.
"Didn't my brother come back from a business trip?" Jiang Yue asked.
Selena rests her cheeks on her hands, and the years have traces on her face. She has a mixed-race appearance and does not inherit the shortcomings of both sides too much, but her skin is relatively looser due to the influence of Western genes, so at the age of 40, Even with excellent maintenance, you can still see signs of maturity on the face.
"Are you all looking for children?"
Jiang Yue was stunned: "My brother is unlikely."
In fact, Jiang Yue's hometown really valued children very much, but the two brothers and sisters really didn't think much about it.If you want a child, you have already wanted it, so it won't be delayed for 18 years.
It would be a pity if there were no children a few years ago, but Jiang Yuedong and his wife also discussed that they could not accept their own clones as children.So it has been a two-person world of two people for so many years, but they are still in love until now.
Now that Selena said this suddenly, Jiang Yue was taken aback.
Although she knew her brother well, Jiang Yue didn't know if a man in his 40s would suddenly have any thoughts.
Selena said again: "He called me suddenly and asked me if I wanted to have children. I think he must have seen the cute children in other people's families, so he wanted it too. But I am 40 years old now, and the doctor said It is best to have a child under the age of 35. The current artificial womb has a certain probability of deformity, and I don’t want my child to have this risk!”
It has been 17 years since the human cloning technology has been fully opened, and the artificial womb has been overcome, but it still needs to be conceived in the mother's body for the first three months, and then continue to be cultivated in the womb.However, if it is only conceived in the mother's body for three months, the damage to the mother's body will be greatly reduced, and it will not affect the normal life of the mother's body.After taking out the fetus, the cost is even lower than abortion. After resting for about half a month, daily life can be resumed, and even the body is good. The next day after the operation, I can go to work.
But Selena obviously didn't want to.In fact, if her husband is not from China, Selena can directly refuse, but she thinks that the neighbors are always talking about their children, and she is worried that there is something special and there will be objections, so she non-stop came to ask her sister-in-law about the situation.
Jiang Yue frowned when he heard this, first reached out his hand to keep Selina still, took out his cell phone and called Jiang Yuedong directly.
The phone was connected, Jiang Yuedong opened his mouth and said, "Did you pick up a child?"
As soon as these words came out, Selena was stunned, blinking her eyes and looking at Jiang Yue suspiciously.
Jiang Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he turned on the speakerphone.
"I'm still wondering if you haven't graduated from elementary school, and you can't even grasp the key words when you speak? My sister-in-law thought you wanted her to have a baby, so she came here in the rain to discuss what's going on." Jiang Yue's tone Said bluntly.
Jiang Yuedong on the other end of the phone twitched the corners of her lips, and said, "I'm afraid she doesn't like children, so I tried it out?"
Only then did Jiang Yue say to Selina: "Did you hear that? He met an abandoned child over there. It's so pitiful. He wanted to bring him back to raise him, but he was afraid that you would disagree. He put it mildly and wanted to ask you for help." opinion. As a result, you misheard."
Selena couldn't laugh or cry, she answered the phone and said helplessly, "Why do you think I would disagree?"
"After all, we have been together for almost 20 years, I thought this would be very abrupt." Jiang Yuedong, an old man in his 40s, was a little shy.
"It's not unexpected at all, it should have happened ten years earlier. If it weren't for the reproductive isolation caused by the mutation, maybe we would have had many children a long time ago. Isn't it suitable for babies to be born in happiness?" Selena felt her husband's thoughts It's a little strange, it turned out that the two people decided not to clone themselves and caused such a big misunderstanding, Jiang Yuedong took it for granted that Selena didn't want a baby.
The problem is, babies and their own clones should be treated separately, at least that's what Selena thinks.
"Then I'll go through the procedures here to pick her up?" Jiang Yuedong asked.
"I want to go now." Selena said a little excitedly.
Jiang Yue hurriedly asked the key question: "Tell me the boys and girls first, how old they are, and I will prepare his room, clothes and supplies here!"
Ever since Yanyan and Xiaohao grew up, Jiang Yue didn't have much contact with the children.
"It's a two-year-old girl, very cute. There are some abandoned children every year. The only requirement for adoption is that you can never tell them that they are clones. Do you understand?"
"I understand this."
Selena couldn't wait to get up and go back to find Jiang Yuedong. Jiang Yuechu walked around the house twice, thinking about it, and then wanted to call Bai Yecheng's wife first, and ask at least what to prepare for a two-year-old child.
Bai Yecheng and his wife have already given birth to four children, three sons and one daughter, and the youngest has just entered elementary school.
Speaking of it, Bai Yecheng and his wife are considered to be the only ones in the world. They are mutants and at the same time they are full of fertility points. They are the only mutant couples who have given birth to four children.
Not only domestic media often report, but also often receive interview invitations from abroad, and at the same time cooperate with some tests and experiments to crack their secrets.
But these are not in the scope of Jiang Yue's consideration. Now she just wants to learn the experience of raising a girl, and she is going to be an aunt.
Almost forty, and finally going to be an aunt!
After that, when a group of nine people had a dinner together, everyone's hearts were filled.
There is only such a doll among nine people, which is really too rare.
The author has something to say: There are three extra stories in the back~
"Red is too gaudy with this wedding dress! White is more dusty, isn't it?"
"She is married and not a monk, what kind of world do she want!"
"According to you, it's more festive to wear a red jacket with big flowers!"
……
Jiang Yuedong's fiancée, Selina, was standing at the door when she heard the two brothers and sisters arguing inside.This is also a regular repertoire.

I was still taking a nap that day, and it was windy and rainy outside. This is quite common in the weather after the flood, and it is more frequent than eating and drinking.
Sleeping Zhengxiang heard the bell, and Jiang Yue rolled around on the bed twice before sitting up, went out to open the door, and saw Selena, the sweeper, coming in wearing a raincoat.
"He's still walking around in this heavy rain." Jiang Yue hurriedly found a towel and handed it over, and helped him take off his raincoat.
"It's been raining for several days. If you don't go out, you'll be bored to death." Selena wiped the ends of her hair that were soaked in water, and then she sat on the chair while Jiang Yue poured him a glass of water.
"Didn't my brother come back from a business trip?" Jiang Yue asked.
Selena rests her cheeks on her hands, and the years have traces on her face. She has a mixed-race appearance and does not inherit the shortcomings of both sides too much, but her skin is relatively looser due to the influence of Western genes, so at the age of 40, Even with excellent maintenance, you can still see signs of maturity on the face.
"Are you all looking for children?"
Jiang Yue was stunned: "My brother is unlikely."
In fact, Jiang Yue's hometown really valued children very much, but the two brothers and sisters really didn't think much about it.If you want a child, you have already wanted it, so it won't be delayed for 18 years.
It would be a pity if there were no children a few years ago, but Jiang Yuedong and his wife also discussed that they could not accept their own clones as children.So it has been a two-person world of two people for so many years, but they are still in love until now.
Now that Selena said this suddenly, Jiang Yue was taken aback.
Although she knew her brother well, Jiang Yue didn't know if a man in his 40s would suddenly have any thoughts.
Selena said again: "He called me suddenly and asked me if I wanted to have children. I think he must have seen the cute children in other people's families, so he wanted it too. But I am 40 years old now, and the doctor said It is best to have a child under the age of 35. The current artificial womb has a certain probability of deformity, and I don’t want my child to have this risk!”
It has been 17 years since the human cloning technology has been fully opened, and the artificial womb has been overcome, but it still needs to be conceived in the mother's body for the first three months, and then continue to be cultivated in the womb.However, if it is only conceived in the mother's body for three months, the damage to the mother's body will be greatly reduced, and it will not affect the normal life of the mother's body.After taking out the fetus, the cost is even lower than abortion. After resting for about half a month, daily life can be resumed, and even the body is good. The next day after the operation, I can go to work.
But Selena obviously didn't want to.In fact, if her husband is not from China, Selena can directly refuse, but she thinks that the neighbors are always talking about their children, and she is worried that there is something special and there will be objections, so she non-stop came to ask her sister-in-law about the situation.
Jiang Yue frowned when he heard this, first reached out his hand to keep Selina still, took out his cell phone and called Jiang Yuedong directly.
The phone was connected, Jiang Yuedong opened his mouth and said, "Did you pick up a child?"
As soon as these words came out, Selena was stunned, blinking her eyes and looking at Jiang Yue suspiciously.
Jiang Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he turned on the speakerphone.
"I'm still wondering if you haven't graduated from elementary school, and you can't even grasp the key words when you speak? My sister-in-law thought you wanted her to have a baby, so she came here in the rain to discuss what's going on." Jiang Yue's tone Said bluntly.
Jiang Yuedong on the other end of the phone twitched the corners of her lips, and said, "I'm afraid she doesn't like children, so I tried it out?"
Only then did Jiang Yue say to Selina: "Did you hear that? He met an abandoned child over there. It's so pitiful. He wanted to bring him back to raise him, but he was afraid that you would disagree. He put it mildly and wanted to ask you for help." opinion. As a result, you misheard."
Selena couldn't laugh or cry, she answered the phone and said helplessly, "Why do you think I would disagree?"
"After all, we have been together for almost 20 years, I thought this would be very abrupt." Jiang Yuedong, an old man in his 40s, was a little shy.
"It's not unexpected at all, it should have happened ten years earlier. If it weren't for the reproductive isolation caused by the mutation, maybe we would have had many children a long time ago. Isn't it suitable for babies to be born in happiness?" Selena felt her husband's thoughts It's a little strange, it turned out that the two people decided not to clone themselves and caused such a big misunderstanding, Jiang Yuedong took it for granted that Selena didn't want a baby.
The problem is, babies and their own clones should be treated separately, at least that's what Selena thinks.
"Then I'll go through the procedures here to pick her up?" Jiang Yuedong asked.
"I want to go now." Selena said a little excitedly.
Jiang Yue hurriedly asked the key question: "Tell me the boys and girls first, how old they are, and I will prepare his room, clothes and supplies here!"
Ever since Yanyan and Xiaohao grew up, Jiang Yue didn't have much contact with the children.
"It's a two-year-old girl, very cute. There are some abandoned children every year. The only requirement for adoption is that you can never tell them that they are clones. Do you understand?"
"I understand this."
Selena couldn't wait to get up and go back to find Jiang Yuedong. Jiang Yuechu walked around the house twice, thinking about it, and then wanted to call Bai Yecheng's wife first, and ask at least what to prepare for a two-year-old child.
Bai Yecheng and his wife have already given birth to four children, three sons and one daughter, and the youngest has just entered elementary school.
Speaking of it, Bai Yecheng and his wife are considered to be the only ones in the world. They are mutants and at the same time they are full of fertility points. They are the only mutant couples who have given birth to four children.
Not only domestic media often report, but also often receive interview invitations from abroad, and at the same time cooperate with some tests and experiments to crack their secrets.
But these are not in the scope of Jiang Yue's consideration. Now she just wants to learn the experience of raising a girl, and she is going to be an aunt.
Almost forty, and finally going to be an aunt!
After that, when a group of nine people had a dinner together, everyone's hearts were filled.
There is only such a doll among nine people, which is really too rare.
