Chapter 321: His father's shadow
"You give enough gifts on a daily basis. We as a family don't talk about this." Jiang Zixuan pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out which Jin Jie should correspond to now.
After the end of the world, no one cares too much about time and everyone lives by tearing off the calendar every day.
After the global network was interrupted, electronic time also became messy, and it was impossible to determine what year it was through computers or mobile phones.
Jiang Zixuan really couldn't figure out what time it was, so she threw the calendar away and said, "Let's just pick a suitable time and hold a birthday party for the kids."
The two from Jingchen's family, Aibao from Lengmo's family, and the two little ones from her family, five children together appeared as the little birthday stars of the banquet and received blessings from the adults.
Jin Mohan was thinking about what gifts to prepare for the children, and said casually, "It's up to you, do whatever you want."
Jiang Zixuan clapped her hands, "Then it's decided. I'll tell Uncle Zhao later that we can take this opportunity to have a good gathering when we're free some other day."
Jin Mohan played with her hair, his eyes gentle, "It's up to you."
I don't know when it started snowing outside, and the melodious snowflakes fell down, covering the base with a layer of silver.
The world seems exceptionally quiet after the snow. The zombies and zombie beasts find it difficult to move in the ice and snow, and are more obedient than in summer.
The base hadn't been attacked for several days. Jingchen next door was so bored that he took people to the beach to fish out sea beasts and handed them over to scientists for research.
The snow will fall heavier and heavier, and the weather will become colder and colder. After more than half a year of extremely cold weather, the hot summer will come again.
The future world will be like this.
The couple sat in the living room, looking at the silvery world outside the window, enjoying the rare peaceful moment.
With the arrival of severe winter, the base became much quieter.
Firstly, the extremely cold weather can slightly inhibit the evolution of the zombie virus, so no unexpected situations will occur.
Secondly, the zombies were trapped by heavy snow, moving slowly and finding it difficult to attack the base.
They are like small animals that are about to hibernate. In this kind of weather, they should also avoid moving for long periods of time and wasting body energy.
Without the harassment of zombies, the base can have more time to develop.
Everyone is busy, working hard and making a breakthrough in order to ensure the future of mankind.
On the third week after the snow, Jiang Zixuan gathered her friends and held a birthday party for the children.
Early in the morning, Uncle Zhao was busy in the kitchen. Zhou Xiaolai took a leave and came to help.
In the afternoon, Jiang Zixuan and Meiyu both left work early and helped make the cake together.
Jiang Zixuan took out the oven from the space and placed it on the dining table.
"Is this oven rusted?" She looked at the layer of rust on the outer shell and scratched it with her fingernails. "Oh no, it's really rusted."
"Did it rain? Is the warehouse leaking?" Meiyu asked.
"Well, it should be." Jiang Zixuan said worriedly, "Although I prepared an oven at the beginning, I never used it, and I was too lazy to clean it up."
Zhou Xiaolai ran over, took a look and said, "It's okay, the outer shell is rusty, but the inside is intact and can be used."
Meiyu raised her hands full of butter and asked, "Should we bake the cake base first, or decorate the cake first?"
"Let's bake the cake. Why decorate the cake first?" Zhou Xiaolai moved the oven away. "I'll put this in the kitchen. There's no way to plug it in in the restaurant."
Jiang Zixuan was stirring the eggs with a whisk and frowned as she said, "This thing doesn't work very well. It's true that I haven't used it for a long time."
"Take your time, there's still plenty of time. Wait until they get back from get off work and get them all over to help." Meiyu put down the cream and went to help Jiang Zixuan make the cake base.
In addition to cakes, Jiang Zixuan also wanted to make some snacks, but she was not familiar with snacks and needed Zhao Bo's guidance.
With Zhao Bo around, Jiang Zixuan went back to the space and prepared to pick some fruits.
The space is not as extremely cold as the outside world. Although there are tiny snowflakes floating, it has no effect on the growth of crops.
Jiang Zixuan rode her bike into the tropical rain forest and picked some ripe fruits.
The climate here in the rainforest is self-regulated by space. Even if there is heavy snow in other areas, the sun is shining brightly here, which is very suitable for fruit growth.
Jiang Zixuan had long given up exploring the mysteries of space. After all, this powerful meteorite from the vast universe was beyond the understanding of a tiny human like her.
She picked a large basket of fruits and put them on the table when she went out. When Jingchen and the others came over later, if they saw anything they wanted to eat, they would take it home.
Although there were enough fruits in the space, Jiang Zixuan basically never gave them to anyone other than her friends.
There are not many fruits in the base, only orange trees and apple trees that guarantee nutrition. They are easy to grow and have comprehensive nutrition.
There are too many people in the base, and there is not enough fruit in the space to go around.
If the distribution is uneven, it will easily lead to conflicts. It is better to have less trouble than more.
Jiang Zixuan took some fruit, went to the kitchen, cut it and put it on a plate as dessert before the birthday party.
This banquet is a celebration for the children, so snacks are of course indispensable.
Jiang Zixuan went back to the space and rummaged through the drawers, finding some snacks that had not yet expired and put them on the table.
Later in the day, the children come home from school together, and the adults also get off work and come to the kitchen to help cook, or decorate the living room and create the atmosphere.
The entire living room was hung with ribbons and streamers, as well as paper cranes and little stars that the children folded in their free time.
Jingchen stepped on a stool, took the decorative flowers handed to him by Ella, and stuck them to the wall with tape.
"I just want to know how the flowers in Madam's space grow. It's clearly snowing, so why are there roses?"
Jiang Liang, sitting in a wheelchair, smiled and said, "Not only roses, but also tulips and osmanthus. I heard that plum blossoms are about to bloom."
He also asked Jiang Zixuan for a few red plum blossoms and just asked Richard to send them home.
"Apart from anything else, this space is really helpful." Jingchen jumped off the chair, turned behind Jiang Liang, and looked up at his masterpiece. "Not bad, right?"
"You should ask today's birthday boy." Jiang Liang said with a smile.
Wearing new clothes and holding a piece of fruit in her hand, Ella said happily, "Aunt Zixuan's house is decorated like a castle today. I like it the most."
Jingchen complained, "That's right, the whole wall is covered with colorful ribbons and paper cranes, and there are cartoon stickers on the wall. When the boss came back, his face was half black."
If it weren't for the children's birthday, he would have been scared out of his wits by the colorful house.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they continued to decorate the living room.
On the way, Zhou Xiaolai and Jiang Zixuan were changing clothes for the children.
Zhou Xiaolai held Aibao in her arms and put a birthday crown on his head, but he pulled it off again.
"Lailai...Woof woof, woof, hi le..." Aibao blinked his eyes and babbled some incomprehensible words to Zhou Xiaolai.
Zhou Xiaolai said patiently, "It's a crown. When the baby puts it on, he will be the little birthday boy today."
Aibao still didn't like wearing this thing on her head, so she played with the crown in her hands.
Jiang Zixuan changed Mingming into a specially made birthday dress and said admiringly, "He really looks like his father."
Mingming was wearing a small suit and a red bow tie. At such a young age, he was just like Jin Mohan, with a cold aura that kept strangers away.
Zhou Xiaolai chuckled, "I don't need to think about what Mingming will be like when he grows up."
Jiang Zixuan said helplessly, "He must be cut from the same mold as his father."
In the past, she didn’t think the twins looked much like Jin Mohan, but now, outsiders can tell at a glance that the three of them are real father and son.
