Chapter 13 Height Issues
"Is this an apple?" Ou Xuemei asked curiously, picking up an apple. The moment she opened the package, the fragrance of the fruit wafted out, and she could feel the rich energy in each fruit. Ou Xuemei was shocked.
Although her son had told her about it in advance, she was still a little shocked when she saw it with her own eyes. She couldn't wait to take a bite and exclaimed, "Oh, it's so delicious and sweet!"
Ou Xuemei's heart had been captured by an apple. She had never tasted anything so crisp and sweet. After eating, Ou Xuemei carefully placed the remaining seeds in a container and stored them in the space button. She thought about going to the research institute to see if she could grow an apple tree. This way, her daughter's things would not be noticed by others.
Ou Xuemei's mind was completely occupied with how to attract other people's attention, how to prevent her daughter from being discovered by those with ulterior motives, and how to protect her daughter. Suddenly, she was attracted by the surging heat in her body. Ou Xuemei quickly closed her eyes and used her mental power to check the condition of her body.
After a while, Ou Xuemei opened her eyes. Mu Qingxin was a little confused. She saw her mother looking at her with shining eyes.
"Oh, baby, thank you." Ou Xuemei hugged her daughter excitedly. Ever since the incident fifteen years ago that injured her daughter, her mental strength was also greatly damaged and she could never recover. She thought that this was it for her, but she didn't expect that the apple she just ate had repaired her hidden injuries. Ou Xuemei's mood at this moment could not be described in words.
"Have you finished packing your things, baby?" Ou Xuemei regained her excitement and asked her daughter.
"Well, I packed two sets of clothes."
"Okay, actually you don't need to bring clothes, you can buy them when you get to Tianji Star. Let's go."
Mu Qingxin followed her mother onto the aircraft. This was a small aircraft that could jump a maximum of five times, so it was enough to go to Tianji Star.
It was the first time for Mu Qingxin to ride such a high-tech thing. She was very excited and studied the aircraft all the way. The aircraft can accommodate up to five people. Although it looks small, it has everything inside. Except for some complicated buttons and levers on the control panel, the rest of the space is simple. There is a sofa for rest and nutrient solution.
"Xinxin baby, Mommy works at the Botanical Research Institute on Tianji Star, studying normal plants with Master Arthur. Recently, there is a research that is about to make a breakthrough, so Mommy can't accompany you." Ou Xuemei set the aircraft to automatic driving and sat on the sofa with her daughter.
"Mom has already made an agreement with Master Arthur. You can live in the institute, but you can't run around, dear Xinxin. When this project is finished, I'll take you to travel around the planets.
Let the baby understand the galaxy and the things in the baby's space well. Don't take them out in the research institute. Wait until mom cultivates the seeds from the fruits you gave me, then you can take them out.
Because there are almost no normal plants in the galaxy now, baby, you should know that you should not have the intention to harm others, but you should also be on guard against others. In the future, baby, if you really want to show these things in front of outsiders, don't be afraid, just say that mommy researched them.
Baby, remember, don’t be afraid of anything, your parents will solve it for you, and there are also your brothers. Even if we can’t solve it, there are still grandpa and grandpas.”
Along the way, Ou Xuemei told Mu Qingxin a lot about what to do when encountering strangers, how to save yourself when in danger, and how to use the optical brain to quickly contact family or friends.
The time was short, but everything Ou Xuemei said was so that her daughter could get familiar with this strange world as quickly as possible, and also know that no matter what she did, her parents would support her.
“.”
My mother is so supportive and strong. Mu Qingxin was deeply moved. Everything her mother said was out of consideration for her own safety. On the second day of coming to Mo Shi, Mu Qingxin deeply felt the feeling of family, kinship, and having a backer.
After arriving at Tianji Star, the aircraft landed directly in front of the research institute. Mu Qingxin had seen from the sky that this planet was rich in plants. Her mother explained that because the research institute was on Tianji Star, once a normal plant was discovered, it would be planted on this planet first. Once successfully planted, it would be spread to other planets.
"Baby, we're here. Let's go. We will live on Tianji Star for the next period of time." Ou Xuemei got off the aircraft carrying her daughter.
"." Mu Qingxin has reservations about her thin body. Although she has not seen many people so far,
"Mom, why are you all so tall and I'm so short? Is Dad short?" It's impossible that I'm the only one in the family who's so short. And as far as I can see, the men coming and going in the research institute are all over 1.78 meters tall, and the women, well, so far, besides my mother, I've only seen two other women, both about 1.75 meters tall like my mother.
"Uh" Ou Xuemei's heart choked when she heard her daughter's question, followed by heartache and a flash of guilt in her eyes. Her daughter was so short, although age was a factor, the biggest factor was that she was not fully developed at birth because she left the mother's body early.
"Dad is about 1.9 meters tall, right?" Ou Xuemei answered her daughter's question first. Seeing the momentary disappointment in her daughter's eyes, she quickly said, "Baby is still young. There are many children in the galaxy who grow slowly, but when they reach adulthood, they will all grow taller. So, baby, don't always worry about your height."
Mu Qingxin felt relieved after hearing this. She almost forgot that she was not an adult yet. There was still a long time before she became an adult, and she would definitely grow taller!
"Oh, this must be Xinxin. She really looks like a doll."
Suddenly being embraced by someone, and even buried in the raging waves, Mu Qingxin felt that besides growing taller before reaching adulthood, she had another goal.
"Xinxin, this is Aunt Benny, Mom's good friend and colleague."
After being released, Mu Qingxin looked up at Benny, who was about twenty years old. She felt secretly happy again. People in the interstellar space all looked so good, and even when they were older, there was no sign of aging. This was the dream of all women and men in their previous lives.
"Hello, Aunt Benny"
"Hello, Xinxin." Benny looked at the delicate and cute Mu Qingxin, and envied her friend for having such a lovely daughter. "Auntie knew you were coming, so she specially prepared a gift for you, promise..."
Mu Qingxin looked at her mother inquiringly, and seeing her mother nod, she happily took the gift from Aunt Benny and said, "Thank you, Aunt Benny."
"Open it and see if you like it. I think girls prefer shiny things."
“.”
Mu Qingxin looked at the aqua-red diamond the size of a pigeon egg in her hand, her eyes sparkling. "Ni Mou, interstellar people are so rich, they give diamonds whenever they want, especially aqua-red ones."
Seeing Mu Qingxin's stunned expression, Benny was very happy. "It seems that Xinxin likes this kind of stone very much. Next time Aunt Benny sees a beautiful one, she will give it to Xinxin."
Seeing that her daughter liked this kind of stone so much, Ou Xuemei thought that she would collect it when she encountered it in the future. She had ignored it before. Since her daughter liked it, she would collect more and give them to her daughter to play with.
Ou Xuemei's decision made Mu Qingxin, after learning the truth, feel like crying when she received all kinds of diamonds. Diamonds that were priceless on Earth were just ordinary stones in the eyes of interstellar people.
