Navigator: I have a double six-story house

The Sunny weathered the storm, the sea returned to calm, and a completely new sea lay before it.

The indigo sea replaced the original light blue, and a full moon hung in the night sky, much larger than the one seen along the previous route.

The Sunny sailed smoothly on its new route, surrounded by the quiet of the ocean waves.

Standing on the deck, Su Qing confirmed that the course was stable before turning around and leading the crew into the cabin.

He has more important things to do.

Pushing open the wooden gate of the plantation, the interior space was much larger than Su Qing had imagined.

There were about ten acres of land inside, with fertile soil and sunlight streaming overhead from who-knows-where.

Su Qing thought that from the outside, the plantation was only about 20 square meters in size, but inside it was a completely different world, which made sense.

After all, this was the Age of Exploration.

He dumped out all sorts of strange seeds, like pizza seeds, hamburger seeds, and steak seeds.

A pile of colorful seeds lay on the ground, looking more like candy than proper seeds.

Wang Yao squatted down beside him and picked up a golden seed from the ground.

"This is the hamburger...seed?"

He picked up the golden seed, examining it from all angles, his expression somewhat conflicted.

"Hey Su, do you think these burgers are clean?"

"A little dirt won't make you sick."

Su Qing had already started turning over the soil using the farm tools in the corner.

Selena squatted on the other side, her fair fingers rubbing a small hole in the already turned soil, and put in candy-like seeds.

"Don't worry, senior. These are standard food seeds from the Age of Exploration. You can eat them directly after growing them, and they won't cause diarrhea."

Wang Yao touched his head.

"I was just thinking, things grown in the soil should at least be washed, right?"

"How do you wash a hamburger?"

Selena responded with a grin as she planted the seeds.

"Don't worry, senior. They all bear fruit; they don't grow directly from the soil."

Wang Yao then nodded.

"That's good. As long as no pesticides are used, we can eat it directly."

After saying that, he picked up his farm tools and began loosening the soil.

"By the way, since all these are fast food restaurants, why don't we call this place McDonald's?"

Selena clapped her hands, indicating that it was a good idea.

Upon hearing these three words, Su Qing stopped what she was doing.

Memories deep within my mind were awakened by these three words.

That was the second month after he and Suya arrived at the Sunshine Orphanage.

At that time, the economic conditions in the compound were never very good. It was good enough to have enough to eat, and there were almost no toys or anything else.

One day, Zhang's mother found an old-fashioned television set somewhere; it was black and white.

One of the tuning knobs is missing; you need to use pliers to hold it in place to change the channel.

As for the television signal, it was only possible because Zhang's mother made a satellite dish antenna herself using discarded aluminum sheets and mineral water bottles, which she installed on the roof.

That night, a group of children finally got their own television set and sat around it to watch cartoons.

Zhang's mother sat on a small stool at the very back, sewing clothes for the children with needle and thread in her hands.

Su Qing couldn't remember exactly what cartoon she watched that night.

All I remember is that during the breaks in the cartoon, there was GG, laundry detergent, soy sauce, and...

McDonald's GG.

A hamburger appears on the black and white screen.

Accompanied by exaggerated GG words and dazzling special effects, it attracted the attention of every child.

The children were all staring at the screen, as if they could smell the aroma of hamburgers through it.

Su Qing was no exception; at that time, he was just an eight or nine-year-old child.

He swallowed carefully, not wanting anyone to see his craving.

He turned his head to the side, and his four-year-old sister was sitting next to him.

The little one stared at the screen, mouth slightly open, drool almost dripping down.

Noticing her brother's gaze, the little girl quickly shut her mouth.

The two exchanged a glance.

Su Qing did not speak.

Suya didn't say anything either.

The two siblings had no parents growing up, and they knew that children without biological parents should not talk about such things.

Su Qing's gaze swept over the other children.

Their eyes also showed longing, and Wang Yao even drooled.

But not a single child cried out that they wanted it.

After GG ended, the black-and-white TV returned to showing cartoons.

This matter should have been left as it was, as if nothing had happened.

The next day, the moon was already high in the sky, but Zhang's mother had not yet returned.

It was a summer day, and the yard was swarming with mosquitoes.

Except for Su Qing, all the children gathered in front of the cold iron gate, swatting mosquitoes and standing on tiptoe to look outside.

Su Qing led Su Ya to sit on the steps and watched this scene unfold.

He thought to himself, "These kids really are just little brats. Are they worried that woman won't want them anymore?"

What's wrong with that? Isn't it perfectly normal?

They were all unwanted children, so it was normal for them to be abandoned.

That night, the moonlight was very white.

Su Qing was yawning and was about to take her younger sister to bed when a figure appeared at the end of the alley.

The woman returned, exhausted.

But the moment she saw the row of little heads behind the iron gate, her back straightened instantly.

The weariness on his face was forcibly wiped away, and his usual smile was put on.

This is the magic trick that woman is best at.

She was holding a paper bucket in her arms.

There was a yellow "M" on the paper bucket, just like the "M" on a black and white television.

The children pushed open the iron gate and rushed forward.

Their target wasn't the thing they longed for, but the woman.

Seven or eight children rushed to the woman's feet and hugged her.

At that time, a group of little kids who struggled even to get enough to eat had no tempting food on their minds, only their mother, Zhang.

The woman was pushed back two steps by the children, then squatted down, put down the paper bucket, and pulled everyone into her arms.

That petite woman had such broad arms.

Under the moonlight, her eyebrows were curved, and it was the most beautiful smile Su Qing had ever seen in her life.

Su Qing sat on the steps, watching this scene from afar.

My heart was beating in my chest, and it no longer felt so empty.

He began to feel that this Zhang mother was really different from those other mothers.

Recalling that scene, Su Qing's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

"Su-zai?"

Wang Yao's voice pulled him back to reality.

"What are you spacing out for?"

Su Qing snapped out of her daze and said something completely unrelated.

"That's fine too."

Wang Yao didn't understand and scratched his head.

Selena glanced at Su Qing but didn't ask any further questions.

The next steps are simple: dig a hole, plant the seeds, and water them.

The plantation's system indicated that the seeds would mature in twelve hours. In other words, the first batch of "food" would be ready for harvest in half a day.

After planting all the seeds, Su Qing patted the soil off her hands.

"You can also do the work on the plantation in the future."

He opened the system panel and shared the plantation's permissions with Wang Yao and Selena.

Wang Yao received the permission notification and chuckled.

"Don't worry, I'm good at farming. I was in charge of the vegetable garden when I was in the orphanage."

Su Qing turned and left; he had other matters to attend to.

There are two more opportunities to use the Shuangliu House.
