Chapter 77

"No reason, haha, Xiao Shen, don't be nervous, I just think your house is empty anyway, if it doesn't work out, I can arrange some people to go over and help you look after the house?"

Don't worry, the person I send over must be the best person who can not only look after the house, but also help you take good care of the vegetable garden on the top floor."

Chen Cong quietly rolled his eyes, but politely refused: "No need, my cousin will be back soon, and there is someone to help us look after the house now.

The leaders don’t need to worry about the vegetable garden, I think they are growing it very well now.”

This sentence choked Liu Tuan.

"What about those two children who come back? Someone has to protect their safety." Liu Tuan thought about it and tried again.

"Then there's no need for the leaders to worry. As long as they go back, we will definitely go back too. With us here, how can we not take care of the two children?"

Shen Cong's tone sounded innocent and calm, as if he didn't understand the underlying meaning of Liu Tuan's words at all.

Liu Tuan looked at her, blinking and unable to speak.

Gu Kai finally couldn't help laughing.

He patted the back of Shen Cong's hand and said, "Stop messing around."

Then he looked at Liu Tuan: "Chen Cong is joking with you, don't take it seriously, that's just her personality."

Liu Tuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Said: "Xiao Shen is really good at talking. He just said something so strong that I don't know how to respond."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room laughed.

After some more jokes, Gu Kai continued the previous topic.

He said, "Liu Tuan, don't mind me, but our house is really not suitable for anyone else to live in."

He looked at his father and said: "The top floor of this house was originally renovated for my father to grow his medicine. Although we are growing vegetables now, there is still space reserved for him.

If we hadn’t returned to the city, we wouldn’t have said anything, but now that we’re back, we’ll definitely have to live there. The drugs in the community will also have to be moved here, and it will be inconvenient to have outsiders at home.”

Liu Tuan had no way of refutation of his statement. After all, everyone knew how much Mr. Gu valued his medicine.

Moreover, if the whole family wants to move back, it is impossible to arrange for an outsider to live there.

Wouldn't that just cause trouble for others?

But Liu Tuan was just talking, he didn't expect the couple to agree.

But what he didn't expect was that Gu Kai's next words brought him hope again.

Gu Kai said: "In fact, it would be a waste if we don't make good use of the formation in our house after setting it up.

Captain Liu, if you want to arrange for some outstanding cadres and soldiers to live there, why don’t you go and take a look across from us?

I heard from Shi Chen before that the two apartments were not occupied by the original owners, but were later occupied by outsiders.

How about you go and find out the situation and see if they are willing to move out?"

Gu Kai took to heart what Shi Chen said in the morning.

Although he didn't know much, he could guess that the person who could occupy a house in that building must not be an ordinary person.

At least you need to have a certain level of strength.

What's more, they had been eyeing their own house at the beginning. If it weren't for Shi Chen, his house might have been occupied by those people.

How good can the character of such a person be?

If it were in the past, it would be fine. Everyone’s situation was similar and they were all trying to make a living, so perhaps they could have lived in peace.

But now, putting aside Cancan’s special abilities, the fact that the vegetable gardens of their two families are getting better and better will definitely attract envy.

Fulin's house has four households per floor, and the roof is equally divided among the four households.

The top floors of the other two houses do not seem to be in use yet, probably because the people living there are too busy to take care of them.

But if the vegetables here look too good, will they be jealous?

In fact, whether it is Jiashu, Shichen, or even Liu Xiaofeng, they would definitely not be able to compete with a strong opponent in terms of fighting ability.

This was also the reason why he and his wife were worried about leaving the two children, Shichen and Cancan, there and wanted to take them with them.

But it would be different if Liu Tuan’s people moved in.

At most, it would just be a matter of rearranging the formation and expanding the benefited area. What's the big deal?

Compared to safety, this is really insignificant.

"Okay, I'll ask someone. Maybe this method will work."

Gu Kai's proposal pleased Liu Tuan very much. He happily pulled Gu Kai aside and called him brother, feeling that the two of them really got along well.

After talking for a while, Cancan woke up.

That afternoon, the brother and sister followed the Shen family's three members and Liu Tuan and others to the regiment's experimental field.

The regiment’s experimental field is located a little off the beaten track, outside the city.

In fact, both Chen Cong and Shi Chen are quite familiar with this place. It is located next to the North City Expressway Bridge.

When the highway bridge was first being repaired, Shi Chen wanted to come here to work.

The highway bridge had been repaired at this time.

Of course, it has long lost its original grandeur. Only the higher part was blown up, and then a two-lane road was built on the side, connecting to the outside on one side and to the city on the other.

But this is already very good. At least with this road, Beining’s communication with the outside world has become much more convenient.

The regiment’s experimental field is on one side of the path, where a large piece of land is enclosed by railings.

A number of soldiers were also stationed there.

Those lands were utilized and divided into small pieces.

The area of ​​each plot of land is not very large.

There are signs erected at the edge of the field, which indicate what is planted in the field, when the seeds were planted, and when the seeds sprouted...

It can be seen that they are indeed exploring a suitable planting plan.

Because this was the army's land and Liu Tuan was the highest person in charge, the old man directly set up an array around the land this time.

Although they only set up the formation in the places where they were currently trying to grow crops according to the group's requirements, they still used up all the essence stones they had found before.

This time, the old man didn't need to say anything, Liu Tuan and the others realized the importance of the essence stone.

After returning to the regiment headquarters, Liu said to them: "We have sent people to purchase new Jingshi.

However, because the quantity I want to buy is large, it is impossible to get it all together so quickly, so it will probably take a few more days.

You can arrange your time freely these few days, whether you want to go back to the countryside or stay in the city. When the Jingshi comes back, I will send someone to pick you up."

After that, without waiting for the others to speak, Liu Tuan continued, "Mr. Gu, Xiao Gu, Xiao Shen, I have said before that I hope you can stay and serve our Beining government.

This is definitely not a joke. Today I formally invite you to join the Bac Ninh City Agricultural Assistance and Production Promotion Working Group and become a member of the government working group.

In fact, you all know that your special abilities and formations are extremely important for the current government work.

Although you have the right to choose, I sincerely invite you and hope you can seriously consider it. "

"Don't think about it, we agree." The old man said first.

The couple also expressed their opinions.

Liu Tuan's attitude was sincere, but Chen Cong and the others knew in their hearts that from the moment they handed over the book, they had made the choice to cooperate with the government.

Not to mention that now the couple have their super powers stimulated again.

No one is taking advantage of anyone else in this matter; everyone is complementing each other.

They serve the country and the country protects them.

There is actually no other option except to serve the country.

After hearing their choice, Liu Tuan was extremely happy.

Although the two sides had basically reached a tacit understanding before, once the matter was finalized, he still felt relieved.

He immediately called Xiao Liang and asked him to prepare the entry forms for the three of them, and determined their levels and negotiated their salaries on the spot.

Although there is no special treatment to speak of now, everyone is provided with food rations based on full or half labor.

But at least from this moment on, the three people were already considered government employees, and they had an official identity when they went out to act.

Of course, there is another very important point, that is, from now on they are also people who receive food rations from the government and no longer have to rely on odd jobs to earn food.

After completing the employment formalities, the family asked to return to the community for a few days.

When Liu Tuan offered to take them back, Chen Cong refused, saying that his car had already returned and he could drive back by himself.

Liu Tuan didn't care about it. He thought they had parked the car in Fulin before, so he agreed on a return date with them and left.

In the evening, Chen Cong and Gu Kai talked to Shi Chen again.

They first told Shi Chen about Liu Tuan's attitude towards Cancan and him.

Then Gu Kai said: "Shi Chen, the reason I told you those things yesterday was mainly because I was worried that it would be unsafe for the two of you to live in Fulin.

No matter how capable you are, once Cancan's superpowers appear, there will be too many insecurities in your life.

That's why we suggested that you two follow our family first.

Just like I told you yesterday, you can first learn the breathing method from my dad, and try to stabilize Cancan's supernatural power as soon as possible.

At the same time, you can also learn how to set up formations. Regardless of whether you can awaken superpowers in the future, at least you will have another way to make a living.

But today, Liu Tuan said that they would consider sending someone to protect your safety. If that's the case, Shi Chen, you have another option.

You can now consider staying at home or continuing your previous lifestyle, continuing to grow vegetables and then learning electrical work from your master.

One advantage of this is that Cancan doesn't have to run around.

She can still live a stable life as before, with children to keep her company.

Both methods are actually good, you can consider them carefully. "

Chen Cong also said: "Don't feel pressured, and don't think about what choice we want you to make.

We don’t have any other ideas. Whatever you choose is fine with you. Your uncle and I just hope that you two live well and grow up well.

You can also go and discuss with Cancan to see what kind of life she wants to live."

Although I told my husband yesterday that I would keep Cancan by my side and not give her to anyone, it was actually just a joke.

Chen Cong just felt that the two children were too young. They were underage and had no adult supervision. He was afraid that they could not protect themselves.

Now that Liu Tuan has promised to take care of them, Chen Cong actually hopes from the bottom of his heart that the two children will choose to stay.

After all, at Cancan's age, a stable life is more beneficial for the child.

But if Shi Chen chooses to follow them, they will definitely not refuse.

In every way, these two children know each other very well.

Although there are only three people with superpowers discovered now, there will definitely be more and more in the future.

If you want to stand out among the increasing number of people with special abilities and be taken seriously by others, it is essential to form your own team.

If you want to form a team, you need partners, and when it comes to choosing partners and help, brothers and sisters are definitely the best choice.

"Don't think about it. Cancan and I will go with you." Shi Chen answered without hesitation.

If he was still hesitant last night, after spending a day at the regiment headquarters today, Shi Chen had already made up his mind.

Working with the national army is always better than fighting alone.

Shi Chen knew in his heart that this was a rare opportunity and if he didn't seize it, he would probably miss it.

Since his uncle and aunt gave him this choice, he certainly would not refuse.

The child had already made his decision, so the couple did not try to persuade him any further. They let him go back and rest, and agreed to go back to the countryside together the next morning.

Although they were away from home for less than a week, when they returned, the three of them felt the changes in the world.

What shocked them the most was that the passage was actually flattened!

Although the road has not been built yet, the dilapidated building is no longer there.

There are many workers and residents at the site who are busy.

It can be seen that it won't be long before this place is transformed into a wide road.

You definitely can’t drive back to the community from here.

After finding an excuse, Shen Cong put the car back into the space, and the three of them and the two children walked towards the community on foot.

Not long after walking out, a few people shouted from behind: "Sister Congcong, Brother Gu!"

Then there was a series of tinkling and banging sounds.

Without looking back, several people knew that it was Sun Qing and her bicycle, which made noise everywhere except the bell.

Several people stopped.

Sure enough, when she saw them, Sun Qing chased them with all her might, and soon she rode her bike up to them.

The little girl was sweating all over, but she didn't even bother to wipe it off and just smiled foolishly at a few people.

"Sister Congcong, you guys are back? Did you go to Beining? Why did you take so long this time?"

After she finished speaking, she saw Shi Chen and Can Can standing next to her. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly got out of the car and asked, "Is this your relative?"

After saying that, she pointed at Cancan and asked, "Sister Congcong, can we let her sit in my car?"

"Are you going home or going somewhere else?" Chen Cong did not answer immediately, but asked back.

"I originally wanted to go over there to take a look, but since I met you guys, let's go back together." Sun Qing replied with a smile.

She was originally a very fair girl, but after several months of exposure to the sun, her skin has become much darker and rougher.

In addition, because she had to run around outside, the girl deliberately covered up for safety, and she really didn't look as pretty as before.

From the appearance, it is unremarkable.

Just like now, when she smiles, the most impressive thing about her face is her two neat rows of tiny teeth.

But one could feel that Sun Qing was really happy to see Chen Cong and the others. She stood there looking at them expectantly, as if she had a lot to say.

Chen Cong naturally would not refuse.

After carrying Cancan into the car and putting their bags on, Sun Qing wanted to push the car and go with them, but was stopped by Gu Kai.

Gu Kai took the car, pointed at Chen Cong, and said, "Go talk to your sister."

Sun Qing immediately replied: "Thank you, brother!"

Then he handed over the car without hesitation and ran to Chen Cong.

Only at this moment can one feel the childishness of a twenty-year-old girl from her.

As soon as she got next to Chen Cong, Sun Qing started talking more.

Tell her that the well-drilling team has already selected a site in the community and has started digging the well.

They also said that the community did not need to pay for the well, as the working group had promised that the money would be advanced by the state.

She also told the residents that the land management of the Shencong community had been completed, and Lao Cao once again asked the residents to claim the land.

They also promised that the focus of this land reclamation and farming will be on growing crops, and whoever grows the best crops will be rewarded handsomely by the community and the government.

Maybe because she has been walking around the streets and meeting more people recently, Sun Qing's eloquence has improved a lot.

She was no longer the little girl who didn't talk much at the beginning. I listened to her talking all the way and she didn't stop until we reached the gate of the yard.

When they were almost at the door of Shen's house, Sun Qing suddenly reached out and held Shen Cong's hand.

She said softly, "Sister Congcong, I heard from them that our community was listed as a test base by the city because of your family's contribution. Sister, thank you."

"No, it's not like that. The reason why it was listed as an experimental base is because of the good work done by the people in our community. The quality of our vegetable crops is obvious to all. It has nothing to do with us." Chen Cong explained quickly.

Sun Qing smiled and didn't refute, but her expression showed that she didn't believe it.

She continued, "Sister, I will work hard. I have also claimed a piece of land. When I grow crops, I can go to the capital to find my parents. It is because of you that I can have such hope."

The little girl's eyes were clearly black and white, and when she said this, her eyes were firm and clear, full of gratitude.

For a moment, Chen Cong didn't know what to say.

Several months have passed. If Sun's parents wanted to come back, they should have been home a long time ago.

But they had no news at all.

Sun Qing never mentioned it before, but it was obvious that the little girl was very anxious in her heart.

Chen Cong patted Sun Qing's arm and said to her, "I believe in you. You are so strong now. You will definitely achieve your wish."

Although it was just a few words of encouragement, Sun Qing felt like she was given a shot of chicken blood after hearing it, and she became much more energetic.

She nodded heavily, smiled and said "hmm", took the car from Gu Kai, and left the community again without even going home.

Only then did Chen Cong and the others realize that this girl had come back specifically to send them back.

The family didn't know they would come back at this time, and they were all surprised when they opened the door.

They all ran over and surrounded them, asking them questions.

Tongtong and Shanshan haven't seen children of their age for a long time, and they are very happy to see Cancan.

Knowing that she would be staying here for a while, the two of them took out all their good things to share with the child.

The only child Cancan met after the earthquake was Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu had been a refugee, so naturally he didn’t have any toys.

Seeing the Lego blocks, small cups and bowls for playing house, plasticine, and dolls that Tongtong and Shanshan brought out, it was like stepping into another world. For a moment, I was a little at a loss.

Chen Cong invited a few children to play over there, and then introduced Shi Chen to his family.

The child was a little reserved at first, but the Shen family were all cheerful and the atmosphere at home was always harmonious and warm, so he soon relaxed.

That night, Cheng Ru cooked a lot of dishes, of course, most of them were seasonal vegetables grown in her own home.

I don’t know if it’s because the formation was set up here at home the earliest and the soil has changed. I didn’t notice it when I ate it every day at home before, but after going out and coming back, almost everyone tasted the difference.

I always feel that the vegetables here taste sweeter than those grown by others.

It should taste better.

Everyone ate to their heart's content during the meal, even Shi Chen and Can Can were not polite, and as a result, everyone ate too much.

After dinner, Shi Chen took Cancan and Tongtong to learn the basic methods of breathing exercises with Grandpa Gu. Chen Cong and his wife talked to their parents about their experiences outside during this period.

When talking about how they all responded to the government's call and decided to stay in the city to work, the two elderly people still felt a little uncomfortable even though they were mentally prepared.

"Then you won't come back to the community anymore?" Cheng Ru asked first.

"I guess we won't be back often, but we will definitely come back to see you when we have time." Chen Cong replied.

Cheng Ru curled her lips and didn't respond.

After a while, he said, "I don't believe you! When you lived in the city, transportation was so convenient, but you might not come back once a month.

Now you have to walk everywhere. If you can come back often, no one will believe it!"

Shen Cong: “…” She turned to look at her husband.

Gu Kai didn't know how to answer.

He wanted to explain to his wife, but he knew in his heart that his mother-in-law was telling the truth.

If we really do as Liu Tuan said, once the essence stones are in place, we must first visit all the experimental fields of the regiment's subordinate units.

And then there's a good chance we'll have to go even further.

It is possible that I won't be able to go home for a long time.

"Why are you arguing with the kids? What can they do if they can't come back? It's more important to do the work! Is there anything serious at home that they have to come back to do?"

Shen Jianyi tried to smooth things over for the two children.

Cheng Ru pursed her lips and muttered quietly: "I know, I didn't stop them! Is it not enough to say a word?"

She was just worried about her children and couldn't bear to let them leave.

It won't block their way.

"Don't be sad, Mom. Let's practice hard. Maybe one day we can awaken our superpowers, and then we can go out like Congcong and the others.

How great it would be if that were true. There would be no more powerful family in the world than ours, and we could rule everywhere!

Even if they don't come back then, can't we go look for them?

It's okay if you don't want to look for them. If you don't want to bother with these two heartless kids, I'll accompany you, you and my dad to go out and play by ourselves. We can go wherever we want! We won't even take them with us!"

Chen Xi walked over, hugged her mother from the back and persuaded her.

Cheng Ru burst out laughing.
