Qin Mu had imagined countless times the confession scene between him and Doudou after they met again.
Children with autism are sensitive, and he actually liked Doudou for a long time. He
liked her at first sight and wanted to get closer to her for some reason.
She was clean, fair, tender and cute, like a doll, with a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
Especially when she smiled, she looked like spring snow and spring flowers.
He couldn't help but muster up the courage to overcome his fear and terror and wanted to slowly approach her.
But the closer he got, the more he wanted.
He wanted to be with her, forever.
But Qin Mu knew in his heart that the gap between him and her was too far, so he worked hard. He
was looking forward to a new beginning after they met.
In fact, he had thought about her rejection, but he would ignore it subconsciously.
But reality is so cruel, what you fear will come true.
Doudou really rejected him.
Facing his farewell, Doudou was a little panicked, but still pretended to be calm.
"Because... you have always been my little brother."
Doudou rejected him very clearly, "Brother Xiaomu, I like Fengcheng, this is my home, this is where my ideals come true and I have to fight for it. I can't leave, and I hope you can live well in Huacheng."
She has never experienced love, but she has seen countless couples turn against each other, and even draw knives against each other for a bite of food.
Under natural disasters, most people's feelings are worthless, even ironic.
Sometimes I envy the relationship between my brother and sister-in-law, but I also know that it is impossible and not everyone can encounter it.
She is living a good life now and doesn't want to take the risk of change. It's enough
to know that he is living a good life.
But the farewell was still sad, she said sincerely: "You are leaving tomorrow, then I will see you off?"
Qin Mu's mouth was full of bitterness, and the flower bones that grew in his heart were pinched out before they had a chance to bloom.
But he finally didn't force it, "Okay."
Doudou breathed a sigh of relief, but vaguely seemed to have lost something in his heart.
The two walked in silence along the way, stepping on the moonlight to a secluded road.
Qin Mu walked very slowly, but soon arrived at the door of his house.
Doudou tried to smile, "Brother Xiaomu, I'm home, you should go back soon."
Qin Mu nodded, "Okay, I'll watch you go in."
Doudou waved and closed the door.
Qin Mu looked at the closed door, and his bitterness was about to overflow.
He was too far away from her, from the beginning. No matter how hard he tried, he could never reach her.
Doudou was also in a trance, separated by a door, until she became angry.
"Woo woo woo."
"Ao ao ao."
Doudou came back to her senses, tried to smile and went into the house.
Her brother and sister-in-law hadn't rested yet, and had prepared delicious wontons for her.
She cleared the sadness from her mind and walked back in a happy mood, "I'm back."
Jiang Ning said with concern, "There is too much work to do, so you should give it to the employees, don't ruin your own interests."
After washing her hands, Doudou picked up the wontons and ate while chatting, "Sister-in-law, Xiaomu will leave tomorrow, what gift should I give him?"
Jiang Ning didn't have any good suggestions, "What does he lack?"
Doudou thought for a while, "Uncle Qin is so powerful, Xiaomu should not lack anything." "
Then just give it whatever you want." Anyway, Qin Mu would like whatever she gave.
Doudou was still concerned, "I'll give something grown on the farm, preferably something that Huacheng doesn't have."
It was getting late, Jiang Ning asked her to wash up and go to bed early.
Back in the room, she told Huo Yishen about her new godfather.
Huo Yishen was thoughtful, "What does Staff Officer Si want by doing this?"
If it was just to exchange supplies, poultry, herbs or crops, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
After all, Huacheng did not come empty-handed, they brought a lot of supplies, thinking that they could help Fengcheng rise.
Some of them are indeed urgent, for example, in the field of medicine, the base urgently needs to give older infertile women the opportunity to have children.
The arrival of Ma Guangnian made the hospital very happy.
He is not an expert in infertility, but Chinese medicine has many similarities in many diseases, not to mention the vast knowledge he has learned throughout his life.
Good doctors are too scarce, so the dean worshipped him as a bodhisattva and mobilized all medical personnel to come for further studies.
In terms of seawater purification, agriculture, industry, etc., both sides had cordial and friendly exchanges, especially in terms of rice, and they were in tears when they met.
The expert brought by Huacheng turned out to be He Xing's junior. When they were young, they studied with the teacher for a few years. Later, the junior went to the State Agricultural Bureau, and He Xing continued to follow the teacher to do research. After
reuniting after several decades, from being high-spirited to gray-haired, the two half-white brothers hugged each other and cried for a long time.
After crying, they had a profound academic exchange.
The junior came from thousands of miles away to impart his experience, but who knew that in the end he would ask for advice from the senior.
There was no way, although he entered the enterprise unit and did the same research, he was still much inferior to the senior who had been with the teacher for many years.
However, he brought a few varieties of rice.
The quantity was not large, and the varieties were not as complete as those given by Jiang Ning, but He Xin appreciated it.
The two agreed that whoever developed hybrid rice first would share the technology.
They wanted to inherit their teacher's dream, so that mankind would no longer be hungry and the rice plants could enjoy the cool again.
In terms of seawater purification, Huacheng is indeed more experienced, and even shared possible problems and solutions.
In short, the two sides get along happily and harmoniously.
But there is an old saying that cannot be ignored, brothers should settle accounts clearly.
Huo Yishen quickly thought of Staff Officer Si's intention, "He wants a tinderbox?"
Jiang Ning had expected it, "It's almost certain."
It's true that the Spark Plan was implemented by the southern military, but it was a national plan of China. Huacheng was certainly qualified to inherit it, but it didn't have the conditions to salvage it.
After all, since they had set their sights on the special salvage team and couldn't dig into the corners, it would be good to have a share.
It was understandable that Staff Officer Si had such good intentions, but it still depended on whether the Fengcheng military agreed.
When the sky fell, someone held it up, and Jiang Ning slept until dawn.
The senior leaders of both sides held a military dialogue in the morning, and the visiting group set off in the afternoon.
Huo Yishen, with the rank of colonel, was named by Yu Changzheng to attend the meeting.
Before going to work, Gu Tinglin reminded, "Aning, come with me to see your uncle Si off this afternoon."
Jiang Ning had no objection and readily agreed.
How could he not go to see his godparents off? He also had to prepare gifts.
E Zai was exhausted. Jiang Ning took a nap after breakfast and then prepared several gifts.
The high-level meeting between the two sides lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon. Fengcheng held a farewell banquet for them and then sent the visiting group to the pier.
Doudou thought about it and realized that the crops harvested from the farm were not easy to preserve. They would go bad when the submarine returned to Huacheng.
She remembered that he and Uncle Qin liked to eat hot pot, so she collected materials to make hot pot base, filled several large glass bottles, and then packed them in cloth bags.
All that needs to be said has been said clearly, this meeting should be the last time.
Doudou was dejected, this was her only friend.
But in the end of the world after the natural disaster, she was already lucky enough, most of the survivors had lost their relatives, let alone friends.
Jiang Ning drove her to the pier.
Except for the military, the rest of the visiting group was already at the pier.
Jiang Ning found Ma Guangnian in the crowd, "Teacher Ma."
She prepared a big bag, which contained short-sleeved shirts for summer, cotton padded jackets for winter, tea leaves, sugar, Korean ginseng, and a few dried chickens and ducks.
Ma Guangnian didn't know what to say to her...
