To silence her father, and at the same time, to secure a more secure and brighter future for Zixi and the farm.
He deliberately downplayed the potentially earth-shattering consequences, describing it simply as a family sharing.
"Hey, I thought it was something serious! Just pick these things, there are plenty in the backyard!"
After listening, Zi Xi paused for a moment, then waved her hand cheerfully. She pointed to the bountiful vegetable garden and the leisurely pasture, and said magnanimously.
Mo Chen looked at her, completely unguarded, as if she were simply sharing some local specialties, and felt both tender and somewhat guilty.
He knew full well what it would mean once these local specialties were launched.
"Then... thank you, Xiaoxi."
“I would tell him that this is the result of the hard work of a friend who is extremely talented in agricultural planting.”
He didn't insist on paying, knowing that would only make them seem distant.
Under Zi Xi's guidance, Mo Chen personally picked some of the best-looking vegetables and fruits in the backyard.
Zi Xi also generously gave him a small jar of her own refined lard and several pieces of vacuum-packed, beautifully textured pork.
Mo Chen found a temperature-controlled food storage box and carefully sealed these items, as if they were some rare treasures.
He filled out the express delivery form himself, writing "Mo Linyuan from the Head of State's Office" as the recipient, and adding a line in a flamboyant hand in the remarks column: "Preliminary results of the agricultural survey, please check."
The package was quickly loaded onto the interstellar delivery spaceship bound for the capital planet.
*
Capital Star, Head of State Office.
President Mo Linyuan was reviewing documents, his brows furrowed with weariness and annoyance at his son who was so engrossed in his pleasures that he forgot all about home.
The secretary knocked softly and came in, carrying an ordinary-looking food storage box.
"Your Majesty, His Highness has sent an urgent package from Green Field Star, requesting your personal signature for receipt."
Mo Linyuan looked up and raised an eyebrow in surprise.
That kid and his savior were having such a good time on Green Field Star that they didn't even have time to send things back.
He gestured to his secretary to place the box on the table.
The moment the box was opened, the expression on the leader's face changed from confusion to utter absurdity.
What is this??
Looking at these fresh, even slightly earthy, agricultural products, Mo Linyuan's first reaction was to laugh in exasperation.
"Nonsense!"
"That kid! We told him to come back and handle government affairs, but instead he went off to farm? He even sent me a box of vegetables and fruits?"
"What is this? A silent protest? Or does it mean I should retire and enjoy my old age?"
He muttered a rebuke, but then picked up an exceptionally plump, red tomato that exuded a rich, natural fruity aroma and weighed it in his hand.
With his knowledge, he could naturally tell that these ingredients were of excellent quality, far superior to the natural foods sold in supermarkets.
But that's all.
In his view, this was nothing more than evidence that his son was indulging in frivolous pursuits and trying to fob him off with such childish behavior.
"Take it to the kitchen and let the chef see how to cook it."
"Tell Mo Chen to stop playing these tricks and come back right now!"
He waved his hand listlessly and gave instructions to his secretary.
The secretary respectfully agreed and left with the box.
Mo Linyuan shook his head and threw himself back into his busy official duties, quickly putting the prank out of his mind.
However, things took a turn for the worse than he had anticipated.
