The two adults, each holding a baby, began to discuss the details.Given that the number of men and babies is even, they decided to have one-on-one custody.

And——"We have been partners for 80 years, each has its own strengths, but we all started from zero in raising children. It's very fair. Why don't we try it separately?"

As expected of a partner, I thought of going together.

Drucker was rejected by a baby boy in the chariot, so he chose three: "I want this sleeping baby, quiet, and it should be more obedient." He chuckled.

Mina has no objection: "Then I want this little guy who likes to make troubles." Although the lucky value of winning the jackpot in lottery tickets is very low, he has a lot of experience in taking care of Drucker who likes to make troubles, so he should raise a lively cute child.

Drucker pointed to Mina's arms: "You are a little bigger and look strong, so you are the elder brother, and I am the younger brother."

Mina coaxed the crying baby in his arms: "Okay, you will bring me luck, Milan."

"Milan? Who is that?"

"It's him." Mina shook the baby's little hand, "Of course my child has my last name."

Drucker was surprised: "Your surname is Mi? It turns out that you really have oriental blood. The regiment has been betting for more than ten years to see if you are of oriental blood. I bet a rocket thruster that you are not—fortunately we Backed down, this matter can not let others know."

"I'm really sorry that I didn't inherit the appearance of oriental people." Mina's golden short hair and lake blue eyes, no matter how she looks, she doesn't have oriental blood. "I planned to announce it at the farewell party, but unfortunately I got drunk and forgot." He doesn't have a lucky physique, and God doesn't even give him the last chance to come back.

"My... baby, what's your name..." Drucker scratched his head, "What name matches my surname..." He has a Western surname, and his full name is Druck Green.

He lowered his head, just in time to see three mouthfuls spit out a bubble.

So the younger brother was happily named "Bambo Green".

Traveling with a baby can leave even true parents in a hurry.

Mina and Drucker's travel plan was halfway through, and they had to stop at Mina's hometown K star ahead of time.

Drucker's plan is to be a mecha instructor, half-day, and the other half-day can be like Mina said, writing novels.Mina then decided to become a mechanic. This decision surprised Drucker for a while. After all, in terms of mecha operation, Mina is much better than him.

When asked why, Mina explained with a smile that the mechanic's time is more free, so the two of us can continue to be together, what's wrong?

—Just for this?

Mina also said that since Star K is relatively remote and suitable for living and retirement, everyone's enthusiasm for mechs is a little low.Especially in the small town where I was born, having a mecha hall is enough. Drucker is confident and bold to be a coach, and he opens a mechanical repair shop by himself. It is actually quite good for the two to complement each other.

Drucker joked, is it because you are afraid that your luck value is too low and the mecha hall will be closed down?

Mina admitted frankly, looking directly at the other party, his eyes were extremely upright.

As a partner for 80 years, Drucker immediately felt something was wrong.

He disappeared for a whole day.

When I came back, I asked Mina, do you regret being my partner for so many years?Decide to keep doing it forever and ever?

Mina asked back, are you willing to accompany me to leave the "Wild Herd" in the golden age, do you not regret it?Decided to continue to stay in my hometown always always forever?

The two of them looked at each other, their gazes were as hot as particle rays, and suddenly their hands speeded up at the same time, and the optical brain on their wrists output an application for marriage.

——120 years old, it is impossible to say that you are a young chicken.They have been partners for 80 years. It is worth guessing if they have never done that kind of thing. However, once the marriage application is concluded, everything will be completely different.

Ah, although the government does not prohibit same-sex marriage, there are still restrictions on same-sex marriage, such as higher taxes, more stringent insurance clauses, etc. Of course, if there are children in same-sex families, then the standard will be greatly improved reduce--

All restrictive clauses and incentive policies are aimed at increasing the fertility rate.

Although the federation and the empire together have a population of nearly [-] billion, but scattered in the galaxy, this number is actually very low.Even though high technology and high intelligence can solve many things, no matter how high the intelligence is, there must be people who can control it. Without an absolute birth base, how can we discover more people with talent?

In the same way, bachelors pay more taxes than cohabitants, cohabitants pay more taxes than families, and families without children pay more taxes than families with children. If you have three or more children, congratulations, the taxes of the first few categories of people are used to support your whole family.

The same-sex review is strict, but the conditions are much relaxed after having two orphans. The Federation still likes such a combination.

Soon, there was such a four-person family in Luye Town of Star K.

It stands to reason that such a life will be flat and peaceful until the child grows up, becomes independent, and leaves his parents.After that, the two parties will each have their own lives, and keep in touch during festivals and birthdays... to spend an ordinary but peaceful life.

It's a pity that Mina's lucky value doesn't show any signs of growth.

Instead, they got an unexpected "gift".

There is only surprise but no joy.

Star calendar 2032.

Two years is enough for three people to fully understand human society—limited to age, 99.9...9% stay at the stage of talking on paper, and there are six nines after the decimal point.

Three people... now renamed Bamboo, always a quiet child, far less energetic than Milan, able to cry and scream, but when Milan cries, Bamboo will occasionally make a few funny sounds, of course there are some imitating babies The necessary components of behavior are more about watching two adults scrambling around, and it is used to evaluate human emotional changes and stress responses.

When Milan is not crying, Bamboo will occasionally toss—for example, one day, um, on Christmas Eve, the two adults enjoyed a candlelight dinner with red wine and oysters, rolled together happily, separated the top and bottom with their fists, and were about to go in While sprinting - Bamboo turned on the remote control mecha not far from the crib, buzzed around the room for a few times, and then went straight to hit the adult's door.

He really has the mentality of pure exploration, and wants to know that this happens between the same sex, no matter how much they mate | there will be no offspring, and it does not necessarily give pleasure everywhere, and it is a heavy burden on the body. People will never get tired of doing it.

At this time, he has already found that the situation is somewhat different from the estimate - the ratio of the number of same-sex families to opposite-sex families in the Federation is 3:7, and to be more precise, families built by men account for less than [-]% of all types of families. one-tenth share.When he thoroughly understood the language of the planet and the exact meaning of various information carriers, he realized that he had been caught in a small probability event from the very beginning.

Bamboo thought for a while whether to stop observing and start anew, or make mistakes, and then chose the latter.

In such a middle-level family, having no worries about food and clothing does not affect his observation of the living standards and value orientations of human society.Besides, there is a Milan beside him, and he likes to stick to him very much.He promised the red-haired woman, according to adult standards, it is enough to take care of her.

Moreover, he found some subtle problems in Milan's DNA, which may lead to an extension of time.

——Even if he had to take care of him for a lifetime, it would take about 200 years at most, and what he lacked most was time.
