279 Jinjiang Exclusive
◎There was a surprise in Ye Zhizhi's eyes that he himself hadn't noticed◎
Yu Jingyao didn't hold Ye Zhizhi for long. The warm embrace lasted only a moment before she let go of him, her eyes scanning him with concern. "Are you hurt?"
Ye Zhizhi shook her head. She looked at Yu Jingyao, her eyes filled with surprise that she herself hadn't noticed. "Why are you here?"
Yu Jingyao smiled. "I came to see my precious daughter. Have you been taking good care of yourself when your mother wasn't paying attention?" As she spoke, she showed a distressed look and whispered softly, "You've lost weight, lost weight..."
Ye Zhizhi looked down at herself. She had not lost weight. After staying in the jungle for a long time and exercising more, her body had become more firm.
On the contrary, Yu Jingyao, maybe because she was too busy with work, looked much thinner, but she was in good spirits.
When Qin Fei and his companions saw that they were their elders, they immediately became calm. After the mother and daughter had reminisced about the past, they all came forward to greet them. Afterwards, they did not disturb them for long and quickly said goodbye after greeting them.
Qin Fei followed beside him, preparing to hand over the plants he brought back to the research institute. After Ye Zhizhi learned that Yu Jingyao had registered and was allowed to enter the research institute, she took her with her. She distributed the plants she brought back to her colleagues, kept her own part in her personal laboratory, and then took Yu Jingyao back to her residence.
Ye Zhizhi's current residence is not the one she lived in when she first came out of the jungle, but a one-bedroom and one-living room apartment. The area is still small, but she is not picky about it as long as she can rest and sleep at night.
"When did mom come? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
After being surprised, Ye Zhizhi was extremely glad that she came back early this year. Otherwise, Yu's mother might have to leave before she came back, or she might have to stay in the base for most of the year.
But Mother Yu has her career and probably can't leave for that long. If she knew Mother Yu would come to see her before she entered the jungle, she would have come back earlier.
After seeing the wolf father and mother slowly getting old, Ye Zhizhi naturally also missed her human parents. Since she came to the base, they had not contacted each other very often, only two or three times a year, and she was out of touch the rest of the time.
Although her human relatives are very considerate and tolerant and fully support her, Ye Zhizhi sometimes feels that she owes them something because she spends too little time with them and makes them worry about her.
"I also made a last-minute decision to come here." Yu Jingyao knew Ye Zhizhi's plan. She knew that she was not at the base during the spring and summer, and she didn't want to be a bother to her. She just wanted to come and stay for a few days. It would be even better if she could see her daughter.
Yu Jingyao stared at Ye Zhizhi with loving eyes.
Ye Zhizhi carefully grasped Yu Jingyao's hand, shook it gently, looked at her seriously and said, "Next time you come, be sure to tell me in advance."
Yu Jingyao nodded with a smile. Seeing that Ye Zhizhi was only happy about her coming, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Your brother and father originally wanted to come, but they needed someone at home. We have agreed that we will come to the base to see you every year in the future."
Ye Zhizhi was very happy, but a little hesitant, "Isn't it too much trouble?" It wasn't easy for them to come here...
Before Ye Zhizhi could think about it, Yu Jingyao smiled and said, "Why would it be troublesome? Transportation is so convenient nowadays. You can just take a plane and get there directly."
But it will take a whole day and a whole night! Ye Zhizhi looked at Yu's mother's smile and said nothing else. Her eyes were full of stars and she said with anticipation: "Then I'll wait."
The last flight was in three days, and Ye Zhizhi only had three days to accompany Yu Jingyao. So she did not go into the laboratory directly, but walked around the base with Yu Jingyao.
There are some places in the base that are not allowed to be entered by non-base personnel, but Yu Jingyao is a family member visiting, and both the Ye family and the Yu family have made many contributions. Many of the latest research equipment in their institute were donated by them, so except for some confidential places, many places can be visited.
This was Yu Jingyao’s first time at the base. She wanted to familiarize herself with Ye Zhizhi’s workplace and, most importantly, have Ye Zhizhi by her side, while the father and son could only be seen in person through the video.
Yu Jingyao was already very satisfied.
Three days passed in a flash. Ye Zhizhi personally sent her to the plane. After watching the plane disappear into the sky, he returned to the research institute with a melancholy look on his face.
But before she could feel too sad, a colleague from the research institute showed up and gratefully took her to see the plants they had planted.
Most of the plants that Ye Zhizhi brought back still had roots and stems, and some of the plants that were not so picky about the environment and soil could be grown.
The soil in the base was dug out from the jungle, and the climate environment was simulated as much as possible. Although the plants were still a little wilted, some of them finally survived.
They suppressed their excitement for several days and just wanted to hug Ye Zhizhi and scream. Ye Zhizhi was so amazing. He brought back so many plants for them, and their research in the past two years had a solution.
So after Ye Zhizhi's family left, they couldn't wait to find her and share with her their research results over the past six months.
Ye Zhizhi quickly put that sadness behind him and joined in the research.
A few days ago, she was still in contact with the outside world and communicating with her relatives and friends. But when the rainy season came and the signal completely failed, she completely focused on the present.
