Chen Mo had been cremated, and her ashes were placed in the center of the hall, surrounded by twenty or thirty children, the oldest of whom was nine years old and the youngest was two years old.

The children were singing in unison, singing the song "The Insects Are Flying" that Chen Mo had taught them line by line.

"The dark sky hangs low, with bright stars following it.

Insects are flying, insects are flying, who are you missing?

..."

As soon as the little bear walked in, he hugged Zhou Tangyao and cried bitterly again. Because he had no tears, there was only thunder but no rain.

After pausing for two seconds at the door, Jiang He took a step forward and presented a rose that she had picked from the hot pot shop.

"Chen Mo, goodbye."

After being a host for so many years, the first thing Jiang He learned was separation. Life is long, there are always people coming and going.

She never dwells on the past and is always looking forward.

After the memorial service, Jiang He returned to Shuguang Supermarket and continued to work.

Several tenants remained in the welfare home until they saw Chen Mo buried, and then they left reluctantly.

At night, the atmosphere in the hotel was particularly heavy. Everyone hid in their rooms, and no one came out to organize card games and have fun as usual.

Zhou Tangyao read the twelve letters over and over again and could almost memorize every paragraph.

Even when I fall asleep, I have to hold them tightly so that I can take a nap.

…

The next day, before Jiang He activated the portal, a call came from Jingbei.

He said he had collected a group of small animals and was going to send them to her, and asked her to tell him the location of the supermarket.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Shiyu and the others arrived quickly.

That afternoon, he appeared at the entrance of the shallow mountain base.

Leading the way were two armored vehicles, and a large truck carrying the small animals was in the middle, protected from all sides by guards in front, behind, and on both sides.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Fang Shiyu and her group had lost a lot of weight, as if they had suffered a major blow, and everyone had a bitter look on their face.

The truck stopped near the supermarket, and Fang Shiyu personally moved the small animals out of the truck.

Entering the supermarket, she forced a smile and said, "Boss Jiang, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for several months for this collection.

After the mutant beasts appeared, normal small animals became less and less common, and most of what we received were various unhatched eggs."

This time, the animal search team found ten cats, eight dogs, a macaque and 32 eggs of various sizes.

Cats, dogs, and macaques can be seen to be full of life, but there is a high possibility that those eggs will not hatch.

After systematic testing, only 27 out of 32 eggs were successfully hatched.

Jiang He put them into the animal breeding space, then looked up at Fang Shiyu.

“According to the previous deal, you delivered forty-six small animals to the supermarket, and the Jingbei base will receive six additional working beasts.

But I don't have that many on hand right now. Once I've cultivated them, I'll send them directly to the Jingbei convenience store, and you can sign the contract there to receive them."

Fang Shiyu nodded slightly: "Okay, no problem."

After the handover, they did not leave immediately. After stocking up on supplies, they walked towards the cashier.

After paying the points, Fang Shiyu spoke again:

"Boss Jiang, could you please call Mu Ze? Captain Xiong asked us to take him back to Jingbei."

Jiang He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Okay, I'll go call him."

Because of Chen Mo's death, Lin Muzhe locked himself in the room, didn't even eat lunch, and kept lying in bed, wanting to sleep but unable to.

Boom boom boom——

There was a knock on the door.

He immediately got out of bed, ran to the door, and carefully opened it a crack.

Seeing that it was Jiang He, he was obviously a little surprised, "Boss Jiang?"

"Mu Ze, your uncle Xiong has someone come to pick you up."

…

Five minutes later, Jiang He returned to the supermarket.

Lin Muzhe walked out of the invisible door, raised his head and looked straight at Fang Shiyu and his group.

"Sister, I haven't seen you."

Fang Shiyu smiled gently. "Little friend, it's good to be vigilant, but we are not bad people."

After saying that, she made a direct call and asked Xiong Meng to talk to him in person.

"Hey, Mu Ze, Shi Yu and the others are my colleagues. You should go back to Jingbei with them."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Muzhe remembered something and his eyes instantly turned red.

"Uncle Xiong, can I, can I say goodbye to Sister Yao and the others?"

Xiong Meng didn't refuse, "Sure, they take such good care of you, you must thank them properly.

But don't delay it too long, and don't keep your sister Fang and the others waiting."

Lin Muze responded obediently: "Okay."

Within two days, people around her left one after another, and Zhou Tangyao found it difficult to accept.

But Mu Ze would not stay in the hotel for a long time, the Jingbei base was his home.

Now the time has come and he has to go home.

Zhou Tangyao rubbed his head and said in a rough voice: "You must treat me well when we return to Jingbei Base, understand?"

Lin Muze smiled and nodded: "I know!"

Zhou Tangyao curled her lips and reached out to pinch his cheek, "Stop laughing, your smile is uglier than crying."

"Oh." Lin Muzhe retracted his smile, and the two of them looked at each other in silence.

After a long silence, Zhou Tangyao suddenly asked, "Have you packed your things? Do you need my help?"

Lin Muye immediately replied: "I've already put it away. No need for help, I can do it myself!"

During the months he lived in the hotel, he had been self-reliant and didn't want to trouble others.

"Okay, I'll take you to the car."

Zhou Tangyao carried two woven bags for him, and secretly went back to his room to stuff him with several large bags of snacks and more than a dozen boxes of medicine.

After returning to Beijing North, these things became difficult to buy and you had to snatch them.

Zhou Tangyao stood at the gate of the base, watching the vehicle gradually go away, and couldn't help but sigh:

“Happy times are always short-lived.”

I hope that those who have left can live happily, safely and healthily in their own world.

…

A new batch of small animals have been added to the animal breeding space, and there are several small wooden houses with incubators, making it very lively.

When Jiang He walked in with the magic pill, the workers were arguing over who was the biological father and mother of Egg Baby.

"More than twenty eggs, aren't they enough for you to share?"

Sang Biao lifted his tail and whispered to the cricket: "Some of their eggs are beautiful, some are smaller, they are different."

Jiang He was speechless for a moment, then said slowly, "Parents who dislike their child's appearance are not good parents."

Sang Biao was stunned for a moment, not quite sure: "Is it, is it?"

"Of course. If you don't believe me, ask Little Dumpling. The bird egg it adopted is much smaller than these eggs."

The little girl who was watching the excitement at the door immediately spoke out: "Yes, yes, yes.

My cub is out working, and it hasn't found a way home yet. Otherwise, you would have seen it. It's tiny, only slightly bigger than my hand."
