Chapter 302: It’s a Waste Not to Eat
"Commander-in-Chief, I appreciate your gift, but I don't need it," Jiang Zixuan said sincerely, not out of spite. "I have plenty of supplies in my space, whether it's seafood or fruits and food, they are far richer than what you have here."
It is not easy for Qiu Ming to save these foods, so he should just keep them for himself.
Moreover, he is getting older, his hair is getting whiter, his face is full of wrinkles, and he is becoming more and more aged and haggard.
He should pay more attention to himself than taking care of his daughter's family.
Being rejected by Jiang Zixuan, Qiu Ming said sadly, "Dad, I don't have much to give you. I only have... this little thing. It's normal that you don't like it."
He has always been an honest and upright person. Qiu Liren was also deeply influenced by him and never used his position to plunder materials.
Moreover, the father and son had no family members to support, so they were not picky about food.
These things were all saved by Qiu Ming, and he wanted to give them to Jiang Zixuan no matter what.
As long as he could give Jiang Zixuan a little more compensation, he would feel better.
In fact, Jiang Zixuan is no longer as repulsive to Qiu Ming as she was at the beginning. Compared with Li Shuyuan, he is really much more competent.
She just couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart and always felt a little wronged.
However, she is already an adult in her twenties, with children and a family, and has experienced too many ups and downs and life and death situations. She should not be such a petty and narrow-minded person.
She can ignore Jiang Guohao and Li Shuyuan who caused her great pain, so why can't she forgive this old father who has no choice?
They just chose different paths and had different focuses, but Qiu Ming's love for her should not be wiped out.
After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Zixuan took the initiative to step forward and hugged Qiu Ming, who was packing gifts.
The moment she hugged him, Qiu Ming's whole body stiffened, with an expression of disbelief and shock.
It was also the first time that Jiang Zixuan felt her father's heartbeat.
The father’s broad chest, just as the book said, is like a mountain, which can bring endless sense of security to his children.
"Thank you, Dad."
The very light whisper was torn into fragmented syllables by the breeze, but Qiu Mingming clearly heard it.
After a long time, he finally hugged his daughter with trembling hands and difficulty, to whom he owed so much.
After resting for a night at Qiu Ming's house, the group prepared to return to the unified base early the next morning.
Qiu Ming was unable to take them there, so he had to ask Qiu Liren to take them to the gate of the base.
Jiang Zixuan sat in the car and said to Qiu Liren, "Brother, we are leaving first. When you are free some other day, remember to come to our base to play."
"Okay, take care of yourself too, and take good care of Mingming and Miaomiao." Qiu Liren said, and took out a model plane from his backpack, "This is for Mingming. I made this fighter plane model myself. I hope he likes it."
Jiang Zixuan took it and said, "I would like to thank you as his uncle on his behalf."
I wonder how happy Mingming will be when he sees the model of a military aircraft.
Qiu Liren took out another small box from his bag and handed it to Jiang Zixuan.
"I don't know what Miaomiao likes, so I prepared some snacks for her. Of course, I know you guys don't need any."
He thought about it and it seemed that the little girl was only interested in eating.
Jiang Zixuan accepted it with a smile, and Jin Mohan also thanked her for a rare moment.
Jingchen stretched out his hand from the car window and said tenderly, "Liren Guoguo, I want a parting gift too~"
Qiu Liren simply ignored him, patted the car window, and said, "The tropical rain forest is very dangerous, don't go too deep. Also, after we get the specific information from the man in the tuxedo, we will send it to the Leia base as soon as possible."
This is an essential quality of being an ally.
Jiang Zixuan nodded, said goodbye to Qiu Liren, and the group headed towards the tropical rain forest.
In the carriage, Jiang Zixuan felt lost.
“I don’t know when we will meet next time.”
"If you like, you can come over and play anytime." Jin Mohan comforted her.
Anyway, both he and Jiang Zixuan have a close connection with this base.
Jiang Zixuan added, "I wanted to invite Professor Song Yan to our base to teach and answer questions, but I forgot to tell him."
Jingchen drove the car and said calmly, "Don't worry, ma'am, the base communication tower will be repaired soon. By then, the two bases will be able to communicate via video."
"This news sounds really happy." Jiang Zixuan didn't know whether she was sighing or being sarcastic.
Before the end of the world, video calls were a very normal thing, but after the end of the world, people have to show off about it.
In the back seat, Zhou Xiaolai kept yawning.
"Are we going to the rain forest now?" She blinked hard, "I'm so sleepy, what should I do? Zixuan, do you have any wind oil or floral water? Put some in my eyes to wake me up."
"If you want to gossip, just say so." Jiang Zixuan certainly wouldn't give it to her. She just took out a map from her bag and looked for the location of the tropical rain forest.
They only collect some fruit seeds at the edge of the rainforest, or transplant plants into space, and will not go deep into the jungle.
After marking the map, Jiang Zixuan dragged Jin Mohan into the space to take care of the land.
Rainforest plants may not be able to survive in space. If space changes the ecological cycle system according to the rainforest model, then she has to transplant the plants to a place farther away from the vegetable fields.
The two drove around in the space and finally decided to plant the rainforest plants near the mountains.
The huge space seemed endless. No matter how the two drove, they could not see the end.
If the world were to be destroyed one day, their descendants would probably regard this place as a paradise and continue to live there from generation to generation.
However, there are many people they care about who cannot enter space, so they must avoid the extinction of mankind at all costs.
After the two of them planned the location of the rainforest, Zhou Xiaolai outside told them to hurry out because they had arrived at the rainforest.
Unlike other arid areas, the rainforest has its own ecological cycle system. Although it is also affected by drought, some plants still grow vigorously.
Fruits like goat's milk apple, papaya, bergamot, and mango all grow firmly in the tall and dense jungle.
Without humans to destroy them wantonly, some animals have turned into zombies and will not be interested in these fruits.
Without natural enemies, they grew wildly on the fruit trees. Many of them were ripe, and the huge fruits fell to the ground, with the flesh bursting with a pop.
Zhou Xiaolai held a wild mango in his left hand and a huge papaya in his right hand. He looked at the other fruits growing vigorously and asked in surprise, "Are these fruits from the same family?"
Jingchen had already started eating, and said cheerfully, "Who cares? It's already grown, so it's a waste if you don't eat it."
Jin Jie was already in a mess, and the plants were probably also confused. They had no idea when they should bloom and bear fruit. They just waited for the climate and temperature to be suitable and grew as they pleased.
Jin Mohan and Leng Mo patrolled the surrounding area, dealt with some troublesome zombie beasts, and cleared up the crisis.
Without the harassment of zombie beasts, they can collect fruit trees and plants on the edge of the rain forest with impunity.
Zhou Xiaolai was eating papaya and walked to a plant.
"What is this fruit that looks like a pineapple called?"
