The robot Suning opened the door with difficulty, but unexpectedly there was Su Tan's teacher standing outside the door.
"Ms. Kerry?"
Su Ning was stunned for a moment, then looked behind him in disbelief, convinced that there were no other figures, his heart sank, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought—" It breathed a long sigh of relief, its metal and plastic face made a few slight noises, and suddenly broke into a smile.
"Please come in!" Said, the robot Suning gave up the position at the door with a smile on his face, and warmly invited Mr. Kerry to enter the room.
Mrs. Kerry nodded, with a serious face, stepped into the room, glanced around the room, and landed on the colorful and unrestrained decorative paintings and carefully cared for flowers and plants dug from the wild, although they were arranged in a mess A little bit, but it is quite homely, which shows how the owner loves and takes care of this home.
In an instant, the task he carried today weighed heavily on his heart, and he couldn't say it out loud.
Just as Su Tan picked up the barbecue pies that had fallen on the floor and wiped the floor clean, he saw the Mr. Kerry whom he met yesterday was warmly welcomed by his father and sat down on the sofa.
He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, not knowing what he was here for. Su Tan brought a cup of hot tea from the kitchen and handed it to Kerry.
The robot Suning greeted enthusiastically: "Mr. Kerry, have you eaten yet? We are having breakfast, would you like to have something together?"
Kerry refused in a low voice, took a sip of hot tea, and frowned. When he looked up at the father and son opposite him, his face was solemn and dignified.
"I'm here today to convey bad news to you."
Su Ning was taken aback, and the metal shell on his face became tense again. "what news?"
Kerry was a little embarrassed and sighed deeply before telling the news. "After the school's research, Su Tan does not meet the requirements for graduates. His graduation certificate will be withdrawn and he will return to school to take supplementary courses."
As soon as he spoke, the room fell silent for a moment.
There was the sound of boiling water on the stove in the kitchen, but in the room here, needles could be heard, almost dead silent.
Su Tan raised his eyebrows, looked at Kerry frankly and directly, and asked in a firm tone: "A few days ago, Mr. Principal, in front of all the teachers and students in the school, in front of General Sellers, personally made a speech for me. The graduation certificate was issued. Now, you tell me that this certificate is to be withdrawn?"
Isn't this a joke? !
If you don't want to post it, you should not post it early in the morning. Why bother to send it out and take it back
Kerry's face was also a little ugly when he asked this question, obviously he didn't agree with the school's approach. He took a deep breath, and simply revealed the truth, explaining to Su Tan: "Because General Sellers is here, Mr. Principal thinks that you have lost face to the school, and does not approve of allowing you to graduate smoothly."
Hearing this, Su Tan raised his eyebrows, and his Qingjun face couldn't help being angry.
He just wanted to argue with reason, but he never thought that the robot father would stand up one step ahead of him. He suddenly burst into anger, and raised his voice: "How can there be such a principal? Don't think that our robots have no human rights! I want to protest to the government ! Go to the Guilia government affairs hall to petition! Get justice for my son!"
Seeing him being so angry that the metal and steel joints all over his body were cracking, Mr. Kerry couldn't help becoming anxious, and hurriedly dissuaded him: "Don't be stupid! Su Tan's academic performance is indeed not good, and it is not bad to go to court to sue him." I will definitely win. If I fall out with the school, I am afraid that Su Tan will not be able to get this graduation certificate."
Under the consolation of Teacher Kerry, Suning's raging anger was forcibly suppressed, but he complained even more for his son.
"What's wrong with Su Tan? Why do you withdraw your diploma if you want? Are you looking at our family as a bully?"
Mrs. Kerry was too blocked to say anything to refute, because the truth was just as it said.
A child brought up by a robot has no power, no financial resources, and no background background. Naturally, such a family is easy to bully in the eyes of the principal.
Losing face in front of General Sellers, the principal can easily divert his anger and get it back from this weak family.
Teacher Kerry looked at them deeply, with unspeakable sympathy in his heart.
"I'm sorry." Kerry lowered his head, avoiding their eyes, and apologized hastily, "Now that the matter has been decided, you might as well think about what to do next."
The robot Suning was full of absurdity, staring straight at Kerry, with nowhere to vent his anger.
Nowadays, although robots are also accepted as a category of interstellar races and have become equal to human beings, in the eyes of many people, robots are still inferior, low-level life created by humans, and can be oppressed and used at will .
This kind of concept is more popular and common in the upper class society.
In order to avoid this kind of hierarchical contempt and hostility, Suning chose to live in Geulia, a small remote rural planet.
Later, I picked up Su Tan during the interstellar journey together. This soft and cute son who can talk and laugh, and grew up with him bit by bit, brought him all the sparks and fun of life. He never Regret the hard work of raising Su Tan.
However, it couldn't bear to bully its son while others belittled itself.
The robot took a deep breath and said decisively: "I won't just let it go!"
Kerry's heart stopped beating in shock from its decisive and tough tone, and he felt that the school was about to get into big trouble.
He was just about to say a few more words of persuasion, but Su Tan who was standing beside him spoke suddenly. "I can go back and study for another year."
Kerry was certain in his heart, and immediately supported him: "Yes, all schools in Gelia do not charge tuition fees, and you have not found a suitable job at present. Going back to school to study for an extra year will be very beneficial to your future."
No matter how extravagant he said, it could not conceal Su Tan's essence of being bullied by the school.
Su Tan glanced at him calmly, put forward the conditions he had thought of and said, "It's fine to study for one more year, but I must have the right to choose the courses and class time. What courses to study and when to study are up to me." Decide for yourself."
His idea is not a compromise out of desperation. Su Tan has just traveled to the interstellar era, and he has no systematic concept of the history, technology, skills, and way of life of this future high-tech era. It would be great if he could learn systematically through school courses.
He needs to learn the new knowledge of this era, and then find out his own position and define the direction of future development.
Su Tan thought clearly, it was extra firm and decisive to propose to Kerry at this time.
Kerry pondered for a second, looking at Su Tan's dark eyes, knowing that this is the best solution so far. It can not only appease the Su family to prevent Suning from going to the conference hall to make trouble, but also satisfy the principal's wish to delay Su Tan's graduation for one year, but Su Tan mostly asks for some autonomy in course selection, which does not hinder the ultimate goal.
He took a deep breath, nodded and agreed, "Okay, I promise you. You can choose all the classes."
Su Tan nodded, the two reached an agreement, and decided that Su Tan would return to school next week.
After Kerry walked out of the door of Su's house, he saw the thick and heavy door unceremoniously slammed against his heels, making a "bang" sound.
He couldn't help but wryly smiled, and hurried back to school to report to the principal.
After hearing the progress of the matter, the principal was very satisfied, let Kerry go out, turned around and hurriedly dialed General Sellers' private phone number.
The two of them are quite close, and they were graduates of the same military academy training. But at that time, Cyrus was already a sharp-edged military genius, and he was just a trainee from a small remote planet in the countryside. After the first training period, he was rushed back to the small planet Gelia.
When he heard that General Sellers' warship was going to pass by Gelia a while ago, the headmaster carefully dialed the number he hadn't dared to make for a long time, and invited him to visit.
Unexpectedly, Cyrus actually came.
However, an unqualified Su Tan completely screwed up all the visits. After the graduation ceremony that day, Cyrus didn't even stay to eat his well-prepared welcome banquet, but hurriedly boarded the battleship and left.
Immediately, the principal became terrified and could not help implicating his anger on Su Tan, the chief culprit.
He deeply exhaled the suffocating breath in his chest, and after hearing the news that Su Tan was detained by him for a year to re-read, he finally summoned up his courage and dialed General Sellers.
"Beep-beep-"
A gentle voice suddenly sounded. "Hello?"
The principal lifted his spirits for a moment, couldn't help but apologized with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "General Sellers, I'm sorry that the graduation ceremony made you unhappy that day. Don't worry, I've dealt with the unqualified graduates—"
***
After hanging up the phone, Cyrus raised the corners of his lips, smiled and said to a somewhat familiar black-haired and black-eyed boy in front of him: "This side has been dealt with, the Gu family and his wife will arrive soon, and the rest is up to you gone."
The young man nodded solemnly, and the raised face was eighty percent similar to Su Tan's, but there was a bit of ambition in those dark eyes.
"I will, General."
In the study of the Su family—
The robot Suning is fiddling with an old desktop computer, the old model and the slightly yellowed plastic casing, obviously it has been around for a long time.
Su Tan looked at it, but it was quite familiar, and it brought back memories of modern computers.
The father of the robot tapped on the keyboard with metal steel fingers, and his fingers were so fast that it was almost impossible to see its movements, and a series of codes were quickly typed out on the computer screen.
Su Tan was a little curious, "What are you doing?"
Suning didn't shy away from him, and skillfully tapped the keyboard, while being easily distracted, he replied, "Over the wall."
Su Tan: "... over the wall?"
Why is this noun so similar to the popular saying of turning over the wall and outside the Internet in China
Sure enough, the robot Suning explained: "Over the wall is to use old-fashioned computer tools to access the interstellar network. Now most families use optical computers to access the Internet, and this old-type computer that has not been bound has been completely abandoned. So, here is A hole has been left in the interstellar network."
It finally stopped its fingers typing on the keyboard and pressed the Enter key. I saw that the code on the screen flashed quickly, line by line, which was almost unclear.
The robot Suning couldn't help feeling a little proud, "Well, this is your father's housekeeping skills."
It touched Su Tan's head, and said firmly, "Wait and see, Dad will avenge you."
After the code is entered, a brand-new world of network interoperability unfolds in front of Su Tan. Their small old-fashioned computer is an obsolete and forgotten code in the vast network, and they leisurely shuttle through the network. All the secrets are revealed to them.
Su Tan's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at the strange and ugly face of the robot father's metal and plastic shell.
It is holding a hazelnut-flavored molar stick in its mouth, looking at the computer screen calmly and intently.
Su Tan looked at it, and for some reason, his heart suddenly felt a little bit thumping, as if the heart of another world that came from China and was incompatible with the interstellar world was suddenly shaken by "thumping".
Then, a strange and profound emotion flowed into his blood.
Su Tan suddenly smiled, and hugged the robot Suning tightly. "Dad, you are awesome!"
The body of the robot froze, and the fingers of the metal steel bars were frozen on the keyboard for a long time, like a stone statue.
All of a sudden, its metal-plastic shell head suddenly burst into heat, and the temperature of its whole body became hot.
"Hey, you child!"
The robot Suning pulled Su Tan away, took one out of a plate of hazelnut-flavored teething sticks and stuffed it into his son's mouth, and ran sideways by himself.
Su Tan's arms were suddenly empty, and he looked at the figure of his father with his back turned to him in puzzlement.
"What's the matter?"
The metal arm of the robot Suning quickly removed the metal cover on the chest, and skillfully combed the sparking circuits inside.
It was a little shy, and the steam was still coming out of its head, and it snorted, "It's all your fault, it's a short circuit╭(╯^╰)╮!"
Su Tan: Hahahahahahahaha, Dad is so cute!
