Chapter 56: Troublemakers in the 1980s 26 Regret

After that, Zhou Shian would occasionally ask Zhou Shiwei, "Were you not bullied by other students in kindergarten?"

Zhou Shiwei chewed his gum and tilted his head to think for a moment: "No."

"Whoever makes you cry counts."

Zhou Shiwei lowered his head and pointed his index finger: "If the teacher criticizes me, does it count if I cry?"

Zhou Shian: "...This doesn't count, but next time you cry, you have to tell me, understand? No matter what it is!"

Zhou Shiwei nodded obediently. She also understood a little. After her brother came back from grandma's house, he was different. He had become someone who could protect her like her parents.

With this realization, Zhou Shian no longer worried about whether his parents loved his sister or him more. He also liked this chubby little sister. He also had to be careful not to let his sister be bullied by other bad guys or bad classmates.

At home, Zhou Shian initially rushed to do housework in order to get recognition and praise from his parents. Later, he found that his parents were still very nice to him even if he didn't do the housework.

He was reluctant to let his parents get tired, so he would rather do more work himself.

Apart from his father's treasured orchids in the front yard, he helps with everything around the house.

Zhou Shian also went from being uncomfortable at first to being very happy doing the work later on.

With Zhou Shengmo's various deceptions and guidance, Zhou Shian's transformation was as fast as a rocket.

Chen Qian was not idle either. Ever since she completed the Wang family's decoration order last time, her popularity in Rongcheng had skyrocketed.

Mr. Wang is a veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. He has many comrades or acquaintances who are all veterans with disabilities.

In addition to people from Rongcheng, there are also people from other places.

After Mr. Wang promoted the products in his circle, his old comrades became very interested in the barrier-free rooms and electric wheelchairs he mentioned.

They already had the habit of getting together regularly. After visiting the Wang family, everyone was amazed that Rongcheng had such a talented person who could decorate houses suitable for disabled people and invent such a convenient means of transportation as the electric wheelchair.

In the second half of the year, Shen Qian was busy. The number of people coming to consult suddenly increased, and the number became larger and larger. She was too busy to handle it, and the orders started to line up.

Zhou Shengmo also took over some of the reception work, allowing Shen Qian to concentrate on designing barrier-free rooms.

Of course, they are both very busy, so Zhou Shian, as the older brother, naturally shoulders a lot of responsibility for taking care of his younger sister. Fortunately, Shian is very sensible now and does not complain about it. Sometimes he even takes the initiative to help his parents with housework.

The home decoration business was booming, and orders for modified wheelchairs were endless. Shen Jianguo and his sister also made a lot of money. It is worth mentioning that Liu Guilan performed particularly well in the Second Textile Factory and began to take apprentices soon after joining the factory.

In order to retain this talent, the factory quickly allocated a better house to the family of three.

After Xiao Caixia entered the school for children of employees, she was able to keep up with the progress and scored 100 points in the final examination, which made Shen Jianguo's family very happy.

As for Zhao Cuihua, the mother-in-law, she felt more and more uncomfortable after her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter all went to the provincial capital. In the past, she could let her daughter-in-law be scolded by her, but now she can't even scold her.

Zhao Cuihua was not a person who could easily get along with others, so she asked someone to tell her son that she had had a quarrel with her old man in the countryside and could not live there anymore, so she wanted to come to the provincial capital to help them take care of the baby.

Shen Jianguo discussed this matter with Shen Qian, and Shen Qian said decisively: "Brother, your family of three has just started to get better. Mom and sister-in-law don't get along. When they live together, mom always bullies sister-in-law. Now sister-in-law is doing so well in the factory. What will you do if a mother-in-law comes and they quarrel all day long?"

Shen Jianguo was also in a headache: "But she said she wanted to come, so we can't stop her, right?"

Shen Qian: "Leave it to me."

She quickly asked someone to take a message to her mother, saying that her sister-in-law was doing a good job, earning a lot of money, and had apprentices. She had a high status in the factory and everyone was praising her. If she came, the couple would not have time to entertain her, so they would have to arrange another place for her to stay.

When Zhao Cuihua heard her daughter's request to find someone to take care of the child, she was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

The daughter-in-law went to the provincial capital, found a job, had someone to support her, stood up straight, and was no longer under her control.

Liu Guilan was a little worried that her mother-in-law would really come. She knew that although Shen Jianguo loved her very much now, he was also a bit foolishly filial. However, with Shen Qian as her sister, her mother-in-law did not come in the end.

Liu Guilan felt much more relieved.

Everything was moving in a good direction. During the Spring Festival of the following year after Shen Qian traveled through time, she received a notification from the system.

[Ding——The system detects that the host has completed the mission in this world. You have reversed the wrong training direction of the two children in the original book, changed their original fate of cannon fodder, and put their lives back on track. Do you want to leave this world immediately and go to the next world? ]

This time, Shen Qian chose no without hesitation.

This world is different from the previous one. Besides being reluctant to leave her two young children, she also has many unfinished things.

Of course... there's one more person...

She didn't think too much when she chose no.

At the very beginning, Shen Qian just wanted to share the burden of raising two children with him, but as they got along, she found that she could not let him go.

At the moment of choosing no, was she also worried about his leg which had not yet recovered?

Chen Qian didn't want to think about it too much. Anyway, she was quite happy staying in this world, so she decided to stay there.

Zhou Shengmo had no idea that during the Spring Festival of that year, when every household was decorated with lights and everyone was having a lively reunion, and when he was obsessed with her to the point of going crazy, he almost lost her forever.

Fortunately, Shen Qian had too many concerns in his heart, so he did not choose to leave the world to perform other tasks, but chose to stay.

After the Spring Festival, the orchids that Chen Qian had chosen for Zhou Shengmo began to bloom one by one. The first one to bloom was a spring sword, which was very similar to the spring sword that Zhou Shengmo had failed to keep alive that year.

When he was a teenager, Zhou Shengmo had imagined countless times what it would be like if the orchid bloomed.

More than ten years later, thanks to Chen Qian, he finally saw it.

It bloomed quietly in the corner of the wall like a graceful girl. Zhou Shengmo held his breath and walked over, looking at it repeatedly in disbelief. Even when he excitedly turned around and called out to Chen Qian, he didn't dare to be too loud, for fear of disturbing the orchid fairy.

Shen Qian came over with a smile: "Oh, not bad, it's blooming."

"What kind of Spring Sword is this? Can you confirm it now?"

Shen Qian nodded: "Yes."

In fact, she had been able to do so a long time ago. She had seen it at first sight among a pile of orchids placed randomly, and that was why she bought them all at once.

"It's called Xishu Daoguang, and it's the most famous variety among the Spring Swords. Its most distinctive features are its serrated leaves and slightly upturned tips. When it blooms, the flowers are usually golden or light yellow. Ours has a light yellow with a hint of green, which is very beautiful."

Zhou Shengmo: "It's very beautiful, and looks like you."

If there is anything in this world that is so beautiful that it cannot be described, Zhou Shengmo would describe it as being as beautiful as his wife.

In his heart, his daughter-in-law is the best.

After nearly half a year of acupuncture, Zhou Shengmo's legs have regained some feeling. He originally thought that there was no hope for his legs, but he didn't expect that there would actually be improvement. He believed in the method Shen Qian said even more. In addition to helping receive customers every day, he would actively exercise in the rest of the time, hoping to make himself better as soon as possible.

He wanted to stand up again and become Shen Qian's real support.

"By the way, my dad told me something a few days ago. He has connections in a military sanatorium, and a large number of wheelchairs were recently eliminated there. He asked us if we were interested in taking them over. The price is cheap and the quality is okay. I thought, haven't you always been worried that the cost of electric wheelchairs is still a big burden for ordinary disabled families, and want to lower the price? This is a good opportunity." Zhou Shengmo said.

"Of course I'm interested!" Shen Qian was extremely surprised.

She didn't expect that some of her ideas were actually remembered by Zhou Shengmo. With this batch of discarded wheelchairs, they could be modified and sold at low prices to some not-so-wealthy disabled families, which could also improve their lives.

"Okay, then I'll tell Dad that we both want them."

The two of them simultaneously turned their gazes to the blooming Xishu Daoguang. Chen Qian said, "Actually, if you look closely at its leaves, they are so upright. Don't they resemble a man with a strong character yet a gentle heart?"

Zhou Shengmo sat in a wheelchair and took her hand. "The orchid is me, and the orchid is you. We live in the same pot, and I protect you. When you bloom, I welcome you. When you lie dormant, I wait for you."

…

Two years later, many media outlets including China Disabled Persons' News, Rongcheng Daily, and Home Pictorial reported on Shen Qian and Zhou Shengmo, who have been promoting the decoration of barrier-free rooms. The two of them were interviewed by the media in the home they built themselves.

After media publicity, the concept of barrier-free began to spread. In the new round of urban construction, Rongcheng laid the first blind path, built the first barrier-free pedestrian overpass, built the first library for the blind, and installed barrier-free facilities in the library.

When Home Illustrated was filming Shen Qian and Zhou Shengmo's home, they took several close-ups of their meticulously crafted front yard, which were published in the magazine. This report sparked a new trend: their home was filled with a number of high-quality orchids! This attracted many orchid enthusiasts. Of course, the two did not intend to seek publicity or make money from orchids. They simply carefully selected some orchid-related media interviews and shared some of their experiences in cultivating orchids.

During this interview, Zhou Shengmo was able to walk from the wheelchair to the sofa by himself with Shen Qian's support. Although he walked slowly, his recovery speed was already quite fast.

"What is the most beautiful orchid in my mind? That's probably my wife. In my heart, she is a blooming orchid, with a white calyx and a sharp edge, and a quiet and subtle fragrance."

After completing the mission, Chen Qian did not choose to leave on his own initiative, but stayed and lived a simple and happy life with Zhou Shengmo, watching the children go to elementary school and middle school. However, one day after the two children were admitted to college, he suddenly fell into the familiar darkness.

This is the brief settlement phase after leaving the world.

"What's going on? I didn't choose to leave, so why did I automatically leave the original world?"

[Host, an unexpected incident has occurred in this mission world. To preserve your mission results, the system will automatically settle your account and send you to the next world.]

[Your quest in the previous world was rewarded with 5,000 points. Because you made outstanding contributions to your career, promoting barrier-free municipal construction in that world and improving the lives of many disabled people, you will receive an additional 10,000 points.]

Shen Qian felt a little disappointed in her heart. She quite liked this world and originally wanted to live like this, but she didn't expect that there would be a system error, and it would automatically settle and leave.

It was a pity that she couldn't stay with them until the end, but before she left, Zhou Shengmo had lived beyond the ten years described in the original book. He is now in good health, his brain damage has been completely repaired, and he can walk like a normal person.

The two children are raised very well. The daughter is smart and clever, and the son is filial and sensible. With them around, Zhou Shengmo should have a good life in the second half of his life.

[Host, don't worry. After you leave, another system will take over your body. The people in this world will most likely not notice. You can go to the next world with peace of mind.]

Chen Qian didn't have much time. When she saw a little light appearing in the darkness ahead of her, she knew she had to adjust her mood to welcome the next world.
