Chapter 492 Dad, I want to go home

Li Simin rushed over to help Shen Luojia up, only to see that she was talking to Sun Dalou, the head of the courtyard.

Jiang Zhizhi was also surprised; she hadn't expected that right at her doorstep, Shen Luojia would be making a loudspeaker call to Sun Daba.

Shang Shiying also heard the commotion and came out of the courtyard. When she saw it was Sun Dalaba, she didn't rush to break up the fight. Instead, she asked Shen Luojia, who was sitting on Sun Dalaba, "Luojia, what happened? Why did you hit your Aunt Sun?"

Shen Luojia angrily grabbed Sun Dalaba's mouth and pulled it upwards forcefully, saying furiously, "She has a foul mouth and deserves to be hit! She said that even if I have a child, I'll be an idiot!"

Sun the loudmouth cried out, "Oh dear, I'm innocent! I never said that! Shi Ying, Shi Ying, wake her up right now!"

Before he could finish shouting, Shen Luojia grabbed his chin again, rendering him completely speechless.

Seeing that Sun Dalaba's face had changed color, Li Simin went over and pulled Shen Luojia's arm, saying, "Alright, if you keep hitting her, you'll hurt her."

Shen Luojia obediently let go and got up. After standing up, she didn't forget to kick Sun Dalaba's fat body.

Sun Dalaba also covered his face and got up, grumbling and cursing: "Shiying, is this the good daughter-in-law you married? She even hits her elders."

Shang Shiying frowned: "That's not right. Who do you think you are, elder? How can you talk like that? Try saying that to me and I'll hit you too."

Sun Dalaba looked at Shang Shiying, who was glaring at him angrily, covered his face, and quickly took a step back, afraid that Shang Shiying would do what he said.

I'll really slap her then.

Her mouth hurt a little, and her speech was slurred: "I didn't mean to, and I was just worried about Si Min. Si Min is a genius in our neighborhood, and I was afraid it would affect the child's intelligence."

"No matter what, Si Min is a child I watched grow up, and I care about him too."

Shang Shiying sneered: "Stop your concern. Do you think I don't know what you're up to? You just want to see us make a fool of ourselves."

Sun Dalaba denied it outright: "No, no, that's not true. Shi Ying, we've been neighbors for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I just like to gossip a little, but I don't have any bad intentions."

Jiang Zhizhi listened from the side and watched as Shen Luojia angrily shook her wrist.

She noticed that Shen Luojia had indeed spoken very fluently, and her punctuation was no longer strange.

She is really getting better!

Of course, it won't immediately transform into the thinking of a normal person.

Shang Shiying gave Sun the loudmouth a good scolding, and seeing that some people were watching the commotion from afar, she called for Li Simin and the others to go home.

Once inside, Shang Shiying stomped on the snow as she muttered, "That loudmouth Sun is a real menace. There's no gossip she doesn't spread. Everyone usually lets her have her way because her two sons are martyrs."

"As a result, she went even further, spending all her free time stirring up trouble everywhere she went."

After saying that, he asked Shen Luojia curiously, "Luojia, why did you fight with her?"

Shen Luojia was still flexing her wrists, and pouted, "When I went out to throw out the trash, she kept pulling me aside and asking me questions, even asking if I would have a stupid child too? I couldn't help but hit her."

Shang Shiying also noticed the changes in Shen Luojia, and communication has indeed been much smoother recently.

Hearing Shen Luojia say this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Good for her, let's see if she dares to talk nonsense everywhere again."

Li Simin brought over a hot towel and applied it to Shen Luojia's wrist, then gently massaged it, asking, "Why are you using so much force?"

Shen Luojia was still very angry: "It's okay for her to call me an idiot, but it's definitely unacceptable for her to insult our baby."

Li Simin patted her head in agreement: "Yes, you did the right thing."

Shang Shiying laughed: "Alright, don't take these scoundrels to heart. You're back just in time. Go wash your hands and have dinner. The steamed buns tonight were made by Luo Jia."

Shen Luojia immediately raised her chin with a hint of pride, looking like she was waiting for praise: "I asked my aunt to teach me, starting with making dough."

Shang Shiying nodded directly: "Yes, from making the dough, adding alkaline water, to kneading the dough, shaping it into steamed buns, Luo Jia did it all by herself."

He even urged Jiang Zhizhi to try it too.

The steamed buns that Shen Luojia kneaded were a bit ugly and not very round; some were big and some were small. The aunt wanted to help fix them, but Shang Shiying stopped her: "This is her first time steaming buns. No matter what they look like, it's the result of her doing it all by herself."

The steamed buns didn't look very appealing, but they tasted pretty good.

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and praised, "Sister-in-law is really amazing. These steamed buns are plump and white, and they taste great too."

Shen Luojia was even happier: "I want to learn how to cook tomorrow."

Just as Li Simin was about to say that he didn't need to learn these things, Shang Shiying glanced at him and then smiled, "Okay, tomorrow you'll learn how to cut and cook vegetables."

"If I can cook, I won't go hungry when I'm home alone."

Jiang Zhizhi understood that Shang Shiying was slowly teaching Shen Luojia to take care of herself.

Shang Shiying then looked at Jiang Zhizhi and said, "I've already talked to the logistics department. I'll teach Luo Jia a few more songs later, so she can go to the radio station and sing a few songs whenever she has free time."

At this time, radio broadcasts were mostly used, and sometimes the cultural workers would sing to enrich the cultural life of the compound.

At noon and in the evening, some people will also read some news.

Jiang Zhizhi thought it was great: "This job is good, it's very good for personal development."

Shang Shiying nodded, glanced at Shen Luojia and Li Simin who were also leaning together and didn't know what to say, and smiled: "Zhizhi, Luojia has changed a lot these past few days. She's just fine as she is now."

"I just wanted to see that needle; it must be so painful to get it stuck in."

Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Let's see how it goes. If it works well, I suggest we continue for a few more days."

Shang Shiying still felt sorry for her child suffering, but thinking about Shen Luojia's performance these past few days, she also had some expectations.

...

When Jiang Zhizhi returned from the Li family, Zhou Xiye also came back.

She was quite curious: "Aren't you busy? Didn't you mention that you have a drill coming up soon?"

Zhou Xiye shook his head: "It's an exercise for the participating troops. We are only responsible for formulating the plan and do not participate in the exercise."

He felt uneasy without his two children, and even the nights seemed longer.

Fang Hua was also feeling bored at this moment, so she chatted with her wooden son. She talked for a long time before he responded.

It wasn't nearly as lively as the chattering of Xiao Zhouji and Xiao Shangshang calling for their grandma.

"I regret it. I shouldn't have let your parents take the child away so readily."

Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "Then pick them up tomorrow?"

Fang Hua quickly waved his hand: "That won't do. Your parents have finally seen their child, and they haven't had enough time to enjoy him yet."

Without children, Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye went to bed early.

Before they could exchange more than a few words, they were already embracing, just about to do something.

The living room phone rang shrilly.

Zhou Xiye hurried to the living room to answer the phone. As soon as he answered and said "hello," he heard Shangshang crying in her little voice, "Daddy, come home, Daddy, I want to go home..."
