Taking advantage of the time available and the invitation extended by Ouyang Qian, Nan Xiangwan readily agreed to Ouyang Qian's request.
“Okay, then let’s go to the rose garden together!” Nan Xiangwan said.
Ouyang Qian smiled and said, "That's great! Haochen, you should go and prepare some picnic supplies first. Sister, let's prepare some bento boxes together and take them to the rose garden for a picnic!"
Nan Xiangwan laughed; he was especially pleased that Ouyang Qian had made this decision.
"Picnic? How long has it been since I've heard that word?" Nan Xiangwan remarked with emotion.
After all, since experiencing the apocalypse, they were too busy trying to save their own lives to have any leisure time for travel and picnics.
Hearing Ouyang Qian mention this word again now feels like a lifetime ago.
Zhan Siyu also said, "Yes, I really didn't expect so much time to have passed. Don't worry, the days ahead will only get happier!"
Nan Haochen mentioned a few dishes he wanted to eat, which were mostly home-style dishes.
"Sis, didn't I tell you before? I've been really craving braised fish chunks, but you make dry-pot sea bass every day, and it's driving me crazy!"
"How about this, let's make braised fish chunks for our picnic today?"
"Brother-in-law, didn't you say before that braised fish is a great accompaniment to alcohol? Could we each have one less drink?"
Nan Haochen genuinely wanted to treat this trip as a vacation, but Zhan Siyu shook his head. Although they were going on a trip and picnic, drinking was really inappropriate at this time.
Zhan Siyu said, "Why are you drinking alcohol? Besides, these home-cooked dishes aren't suitable for a picnic!"
"Don't make things difficult for your sister!"
Hearing Zhan Siyu's accusations, Nan Haochen felt extremely wronged.
He simply wanted to eat braised fish again, but not only did Zhan Siyu disagree, but Nan Xiangwan also refused his request.
“Your brother-in-law is right. Have you never been on a class trip for a picnic? Why are you bringing braised fish chunks to eat outside? Usually, we just prepare some rice balls and simple meals!” Nan Xiangwan said.
Ouyang Qian laughed. He could tell that Nan Haochen really wanted to eat braised fish chunks.
However, just as Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan said, they were clearly going out for a picnic, and the main purpose of this afternoon was to visit and admire the rose garden.
Bringing braised fish chunks out at a time like this is indeed a bit inconvenient.
"Haochen, how about this? My sister and I will prepare some simple meals later, like rice balls or sushi, and then when we get back tonight, I'll make you braised fish."
Seeing that Nan Haochen was unhappy, Ouyang Qian immediately tried to comfort him.
Upon hearing these words, Nan Haochen was as happy as a child.
"My wife still loves me the most!" Nan Haochen said with a smile.
Ouyang Qian looked a little shy. Was this guy being a bit too childish?
However, in front of Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu, Nan Haochen will always be a younger brother. It doesn't matter if he's a little childish, since the two of them will spoil him anyway.
"Alright then, you guys go and prepare a small incubator. It doesn't need to be too big, just enough to hold all the things we need for our picnic!" Nan Xiangwan said.
Next, he needs to prepare some ingredients, which may take some time if they are making bento boxes.
Nan Haochen said, "It's not a big problem, I'll just go home and get it from the kitchen!"
Zhan Siyu nodded. Since they all had their own things to prepare for, Zhan Siyu certainly couldn't slack off at this time.
"How about I go and bring back some fruit?" Zhan Siyu suggested.
Nan Xiangwan thought for a moment and then nodded quickly. How could a picnic be complete without fruit? He also really wanted to try some drinks from Aquamarine Star. It had been a long time since he had experienced something like this, so of course he wanted to give it a try.
"Is there any fruit? Do you have strawberries?" Ouyang Qian asked.
Unlike the Blue Planet, Rose Star has no crops that can be made into dishes, and it doesn't even have fruit.
In short, the Rose Planet people rely on nutritional supplements to obtain all the nutrients the human body needs.
For the people of the Blue Planet who are used to delicious food, such a life is indeed a bit too monotonous and boring.
Nan Xiangwan smiled and said, "Of course! There are two plots of land in the space specifically for growing strawberries. Qianqian, Haochen specially prepared strawberries for you!"
"But the harvest had been poor before. After planting the third crop, it gradually started to bear fruit!"
"I think the strawberries should be ripe soon, right?"
Nan Xiangwan looked at Zhan Siyu beside her. There was a piece of land in the space that was used to grow strawberries, and it was Nan Haochen's special request.
After all, the land in the space is very precious. Normally, the south-facing areas are used to grow food. Only by ensuring food can we ensure everyone's most basic standard of survival.
However, after arriving on Rose Star, the requirements in this regard have been lowered somewhat, especially with the availability of nutrient solutions.
Nan Xiangwan purchased a batch of nutrient solutions from Grandpa Ye, and then divided up one-third of the land so that the residents of Xingfu Community could plant whatever they wanted.
Most people want to grow fruit, since there really isn't any fruit on this planet.
Although nutritional supplements can replenish the vitamins in fruits, for the people of Water Blue Star, fruits are not just about having nutrients; the main reason is that they taste good.
"Ever since you got pregnant, Haochen has started growing strawberries. That kid even used a ripening agent from the Academy of Sciences, so the strawberries are growing very fast!"
"However, because there was a problem with the formula of the previous ripening agent, the taste was a bit strange. Recently, we have formulated the correct ripening agent, and the third batch of strawberries has already grown!"
"I'll go pick some strawberries over there later and see if I can grow some delicious strawberries this time!" Zhan Siyu said.
Upon hearing these words, Ouyang Qian became as happy as a little girl.
He was genuinely happy. After experiencing the apocalypse, such a peaceful and happy life was a treasure they cherished.
"Well, it can't be said that it's entirely for Qianqian's sake, sis. Didn't you like eating strawberries before?" Nan Haochen said.
He didn't want Nan Xiangwan to think that she had forgotten her sister now that she had a wife, so of course he had to stand up and explain.
Nan Xiangwan shook her head and said, "Come on, kid, you're still trying to deny it. I've watched you grow up since you were a child. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Besides, I'm very happy that you're protecting Qianqian like this!"
