Schiller took his three children to the vegetable field. Some of the cabbages here are ready to be picked. Although they are not fully grown, the relatively young leaves are originally used for salads. The timing is just right.
Schiller didn't expect Helen and the others to pick vegetables seriously, as long as they didn't cause trouble, so he went to the tool room next to him, pushed a cart, took a shovel, and started digging out suitable cabbages from the soil.
.
This farmland adopts the most advanced agricultural planting methods, and California's lighting conditions are truly unique. The cabbage feels heavy as soon as you hold it in your hand, and the moisture is accumulated very well.
Schiller stood at the edge of the field and opened one. The young leaves inside were so crispy that when you bite into it, it was full of sweet juice. The leaves were thick and the fiber was just right. It turned out that the vegetables you grew yourself were delicious.
Schiller picked five or six cabbages, broke off some rough outer leaves and threw them away, put them in the cart, and then went to the lettuce field.
Lettuce was grown later than cabbage, and they are still small in size. However, this vegetable can actually be eaten at any stage of growth. Schiller picked two larger ones, which were just big enough to put in a burger.
The taste is as good as cabbage.
The banana tree next to it is even less ripe. The bananas are only as long as a finger and are still green. Unripe bananas are not only bitter but also astringent, making them completely inedible.
But the mangoes next door are better. Although they are small, the small green mangoes can be used for seasoning or cold dishes. Schiller also picked some.
Now he misses Pamela very much. If she were here, these vegetables would ripen overnight.
But actually thinking about it, if that were the case, there would be no sense of accomplishment in watching them grow up every day.
During the process of picking vegetables, Schiller kept thinking about the wedding. He felt that Stark was dissatisfied with some restrictions on traditional weddings, but after all, he was not a child and knew that he could not be willful in such matters, so he did not express it.
.
The reason why he attaches so much importance to the newcomers' entrance is because during the period before the newcomers enter, at least they are free and do not need to consider the feelings of the guests.
If you want to add the romantic fantasy that he likes, you can only play around with it during this period. The idea of a hot air balloon trip is actually not bad and should move them very much, but Schiller thinks it is not impressive enough.
What should be done?
Gray fog seemed to be aware of Schiller's thoughts. He asked in Schiller's mind: "Have you ever imagined your wedding?"
"I can think about it now." After Schiller said it, he really started to think seriously, but soon lost his battle. He said: "I really can't imagine what my other half is like... alive."
"Does your significant other have to be a human being?"
Schiller was silent. He suddenly looked down at the ring on his hand. Gray Fog laughed in his mind, and then he said: "Human weddings are very boring. I don't think we need a wedding."
"We don't need a wedding to declare anything, we are the best." Schiller also laughed.
"Yes, you and I, we are the best."
"What?"
"It's not me and Schiller, but me and you. Gray Fog and Greed are the best."
Schiller laughed happily.
Schiller stood at the edge of the field, washing away the soil at the bottom of the vegetables he had just picked with the irrigation faucet nearby, while thinking about how to arrange a surprise at Stark's wedding.
He thought of many plans, but the noise was a bit loud. Although the newcomers would not see the guests before entering, the island was not particularly big, and any slight noise might affect those fragile celebrities.
Schiller felt that if he were a superhero or a superhero's family, salvation might be an unavoidable topic.
Superheroes have been saving ordinary people, and superheroes' families have also been saving superheroes. People often see the former and ignore the latter.
But for them, having someone save them from the burden of saving the world is a process that is infinitely close to true love.
Although the concept already exists, it is still a troublesome thing to realize. You can't let them face the pressure of saving the world first, and then let others rescue them. This will become a happy event and a funeral, which is really unnecessary.
So arrange a game? But if you let them know about this link in advance, there will be no sense of surprise.
Schiller thought for a while, but he didn't have a better idea, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, put the vegetables into a bag, and called Helen and the others to go back.
As expected, Helen, Rocket Raccoon and Pikachu did not pick vegetables honestly. Halfway through picking, they found a water pipe next to the field, and started playing a water gun fight. The way back was wetter than when they came here.
On his way back, Schiller saw that the equipment Reed wanted had been delivered, but he was still pursuing Susan feverishly and didn't know when he planned to start work.
After returning to the swimming pool, Schiller told Reed the news. Reed turned out to be very positive and whispered to Schiller.
"I think you are right. Although I don't have any romantic qualities, I think everyone will fall in love with the way I work seriously."
This sounds a bit narcissistic, but Schiller thinks it makes some sense. The main reason is that Reed stops talking when he is working seriously. He closes his mouth and his personality charm instantly increases several times, so it is effective.
He saw Reed going to invite Susan.
The reason is very old-fashioned, that is, the experiment requires an assistant.
Susan is also a scientist. Logically speaking, if you invite a serious scientist to be an assistant, you will inevitably look down on him.
However, the academic status gap between the two is a bit big. Susan is also a very good scientist, but she is still inferior compared to Reed, the top scientist in the world and even the universe. Moreover, she is engaged in geological research.
Unlike Reed's field, it does not have as high a priority as Reed's project and is in a tepid position in the entire solar system development plan.
Susan was happy to learn that Reed invited her instead of the more powerful Peter, who was more similar to Reed's field, but she still expressed concerns appropriately.
"Reed, I know you are also doing some geological research. I think we will have some common topics in this area, but the problem to be solved this time is biological science. I really don't know much about this aspect. I may add some trouble to you.
trouble……"
"Oh, it doesn't matter." Just when Reed wanted to speak based on his intuition, he remembered Schiller's teachings. No, he had to treat Susan as a puzzle of the truth of the universe. The chance of replying was limited. He quickly thought about how to solve it.
You can get the most information by talking.
"Well... good scientists all believe that science can be learned by analogy. Even if there are huge differences between disciplines, the way of thinking is always similar, and the basic research process is roughly the same."
"You know, I'm the kind of scientist who can have flashes of inspiration, but maybe you can help me complete the more basic parts. With a solid foundation, my inspiration can... uh, can burst out better."
Reed was really at a loss for words. He had really tried his best. As long as he was the kind of person who was very good at talking, he wouldn't have never been in love before. He didn't have so many colorful words in his mind, so he said
It sounds dry, but it is already a miraculous improvement compared to before.
Susan's eyes brightened when she looked at him, and she showed a bright smile, which made Reed's eyes wide open.
"If this is the case, it will be an honor for me. In the future, I can go out and brag to others that I have been Dr. Richards' assistant. No one will envy my good luck."
After saying that, she took Reed's arm and walked towards the car. Reed turned back and gave Schiller a grateful look, and Schiller gave him an OK gesture.
Stark, who was next to him, had already planned to see Reed's joke, but found out that Reed played so well, and immediately realized that there was a trick, and Reed's last look also revealed the answer, it was Schiller who did it.
!
Stark sneaked up next to Schiller and asked in surprise: "What the hell are you doing? Why is that Richards suddenly picking up girls?"
"What's so difficult about this?" Schiller leaned over and whispered: "He can't pick up girls and can't do scientific research? I asked him to treat Susan as a mystery that can be solved to obtain the truth of the universe. Of course he can't
The teacher has mastered himself.”
Stark froze in place, as if the cosmic cat-headed emoticon had opened the door to a new world.
Suddenly he said with some excitement: "Even if there is a mystery that can be solved to obtain the truth of the universe, it should be Pepper!"
"Is both okay?"
"No, I can't let him solve the mystery first. The truth of the universe is mine!"
"I think you two are crazy." Schiller sighed sincerely.
Stark returned to Pepper's side again, with a smile on his face and no idea what he was talking about.
Both Pepper and Erica are teaching their children to swim. In fact, it is not a teaching. The main reason is that the children are born with the ability to swim in the mother's body. When they leave the mother's body, the younger the child, the better the water skills.
But now that both children are older, they need to put a children's swimming ring around their necks to float. However, both children have been raised very strong, and they can paddle hard with their limbs and swim around in the swimming pool very smoothly.
The two mothers only need to be there to make sure they don't swim too far or bump into others.
In fact, it is quite interesting to watch children swimming, because they actually don’t know what they are doing. They just feel that their limbs are helpless, so they instinctively keep flailing around, trying to get out of the current situation, but the more they get
If you row randomly, you will swim faster.
Stark obviously went to coax Pepper, and after a while, the two of them went to the side with the child in their arms, talking and laughing.
Although Stark is also a scientist, he is a prodigal in love. His rank is much higher than that of Reed. After a while, Pepper was made to laugh.
Schiller looked on with some helplessness. He didn't know why a man who was already a father had to compare himself with someone who had not yet found a girl. Maybe this was the desire of scientists for the truth of the universe.
As the sky gradually darkened, Eddie started the projector, and a huge holographic projection screen appeared in front of the swimming pool.
Everyone was floating in the water, sometimes chatting and laughing, sometimes concentrating. The light and shadow of the screen flowed across their faces, and the water surface rippled like a tributary of the river of human history. Time was frozen at this moment.
