Chapter 85

Chen Cong and his friends set out from Fulin's home early in the morning and arrived at the community at just after ten in the morning.

The time taken is much less than before.

Chen Cong still remembers that when she first went back to Bac Ninh with her husband and Jiashu, they walked for two days and one night.

Finally they arrived at Fulin, but because they could not get around the ruins, they had to stay downstairs for the night.

Thinking back on it now, it seems like it was a long time ago.

The three of them returned home and the whole family was very happy.

Everybody was able to hold themselves together to some extent. The joy of the children was evident on their faces, and they really jumped for joy in the yard.

However, after not seeing them for more than two months, Tongtong and Shanshan have grown taller. The seven-year-old Tongtong is chubby and looks like a grown-up boy now.

And Shanshan also looks much healthier than before.

His little body is round and plump, and he runs like a little cannonball. He no longer looks as weak as a bean sprout as he did when he first came back from abroad.

The two children have always been very close to their aunt, and they all rushed over to her when they saw her.

While shouting "Auntie" loudly, he hugged her tightly.

One stood on each side of his legs, competing with each other in holding him tightly, until he was so exhausted that he could not even walk.

"Let go of your aunt quickly! Don't you see how fat you are? You'll knock her down again!" Chen Xi laughed and scolded beside them.

As she spoke, she grabbed her children by the collars and pulled them aside.

The two children were not angry when they were pulled apart. It was obvious that this situation had happened many times and they had long been used to it.

Finding that they couldn't make trouble for Chen Cong, the two children didn't get discouraged and rushed towards Shi Chen and Can Can who were following behind her...

This time no one stopped them, and soon things became a mess.

Because it is already a national-level planting base, the formation will definitely be widely used in the community.

Therefore, the formation set up by the Shen family is no longer a secret.

Now Mr. Shen has taken over Mr. Gu's previous job and volunteers to lead the residents of the community in practicing breathing exercises.

However, he has requirements for the people he chooses, that is, they must be full laborers.

He only led the children under ten years old, the elderly and frail people, and the disabled people who were still suffering from illness and had not fully recovered to practice together.

No one can say no to such a choice.

Since the people being taught are the elderly, the young, the sick and the weak, it does not go against the country's wishes.

So now, whether it is Tongtong, Shanshan or other people in the family, they no longer have to hide their good health from others.

The two children no longer have to be restrained by their family and not allowed to go out just because they eat well and grow strong for fear that others will become suspicious.

Now the children in the yard can move freely.

As long as they complete their daily chores and stay away from cracks, no adults will stop them from running, jumping and playing in the yard.

With the bonus of the formation and the fact that everyone was able to eat their fill, not only the Shen family's children, but the other children also gained weight and regained their former innocence and liveliness, looking almost the same as they did before the disaster.

The entire community has become a paradise in everyone's mind after the natural disaster.

After returning to the Shen family and meeting friends of the same age, Cancan no longer had the maturity and understanding he had in the city, and almost immediately started playing with Tongtong and the others.

Without anyone noticing, three kids were playing with water guns in the yard.

With Cancan, the artificial water machine, you can have a lot of fun playing with water guns without even having to consider the source of the water.

Cancan's situation was even easier. She didn't even need a water gun. She could just stretch out a finger and shoot at Tongtong, and the fight was extremely intense.

The adults hadn't even entered the house yet, but the screams and laughter of the three children in the yard were already making their eardrums hurt.

"Go, Tongtong, take your two sisters to the rooftop to water the vegetables! Don't waste water here!"

Shen Jianyi said this as he slapped his grandson on the butt.

The three children agreed and ran upstairs quickly.

According to Shen Cong's previous suggestion, barbed wire was also set up on the top floor of the Shen family's house.

But after all, no one knows when the insect plague will come, and the net only props up the top, but has not completely surrounded it.

But the iron frame used for fixing has been set up.

Moreover, the top floor is surrounded by a circle of vegetable growing racks, so children playing on it will definitely not fall down by accident.

Safety issues don't need to be considered.

"Well, you guys are back. If you don't come back, our parents will come to Fulin to kill you. You don't know, they almost saw through the wall of our house in the past two days."

Chen Xi teased with a smile as he walked into the house with them.

"You're just talking about me and your mom. Isn't that how many times a day you complain about your sister taking so long to come back?"

Shen Jianyi tapped his eldest daughter's head a few times with his hand.

"I just think she's too slow. She's always been slow in everything she does. I mean, Chong Chong, is it because you've been dawdling at home again that you've delayed coming back until today?

Don't lie to me. Wei Yan came back the day before yesterday and said that when he was talking to Captain Liu on the phone, Captain Liu told him that you had taken a week off and would come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Liu Tuan has already approved your leave, but you are still dragging your feet until now. Is it because of you? "

Chen Cong curled his lips: "Why don't you think of me at all when good things happen, and all the bad things are my fault? Don't blame me this time, go ask your brother-in-law, we came back late this time, it's all because of him."

Gu Kai just laughed when he heard it.

Hearing his wife complain, he quickly explained in a good-tempered manner: "Yes, this time it was really because of me.

I was thinking of visiting all those bases before coming back to see how well they were prepared to defend against the insect plague, but I wasted time.

Sister, if you want to complain, complain about me, don't talk about Chen Cong, otherwise I don't know how she will make trouble for me when you are not around later!"

Everyone laughed at this sentence.

After laughing, Shen Jianyi asked worriedly, "Will the insect plague really come earlier? The community has been busy with this matter these past two days. They said they received a notice from the city.

Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin are leading everyone in weaving bamboo. They are going to use the bamboo to build fences and baskets to keep the insects out. I wonder if this method will work?"

"It's better than nothing." Chen Cong said.

Those bugs have really sharp teeth and are small in size, so a bamboo fence certainly can't stop them.

But at least it's a layer of protection, which is better than having no preparation at all.

It is really hard to find insect-proof nets nowadays. Not to mention metal nets, even sturdy fishing nets and bird-proof nets are hard to get.

Every place is brainstorming and looking for its own way of defense.

Chen Cong once hoped that the previous expert group could develop a second defensive formation as soon as possible, but after several months, there seemed to be no progress, and now she had no choice but to give up.

Chen Cong didn't feel much about the bamboo fence his father mentioned, but Gu Kai was very interested after hearing about it.

He said to Shen Jianyi, "Dad, how is the fence going? Where is it now? Can you take me to see it?"

"It's time to eat, why are you going out?" Cheng Ru was unhappy.

"It's only a little after ten o'clock, why should we eat? If the child wants to go, let him go. After all, they are all members of the working group.

They see a lot of things outside, and maybe they can give our community some suggestions or something, which is serious business.”

Shen Jianyi stood up and said to his wife, "You and Xixi stay at home to cook. I'll take Xiaokai out for a walk."

"I'll go too." Chen Cong said and stood up.

"Shi Chen and I will go take a look too." Old Master Gu also responded.

Gu Kai looked at everyone, then went out and shouted upstairs: "Cancan, come down! Uncle will take you out to play."

Before he finished speaking, the little girl's baby voice came from upstairs: "Okay! Uncle, wait for me."

Then came the sound of kids running downstairs.

And there were more than one person walking along the same path. You didn't have to guess, as the two little ones also followed along.

Chen Xi approached her sister in disbelief and asked, "Gu Kai can still take care of a child? He doesn't look like someone who can take care of a child, does he?"

Chen Cong chuckled twice and rolled his eyes: "Don't judge a person by his appearance, right? This guy is actually a hidden talent!"

Speaking of this, she became depressed.

Logically speaking, in the beginning, the Shi brothers and sisters were obviously the closest to her, especially little Cancan, who would hug her and cling to her every time he saw her.

But ever since her special ability was "reasonably" used by Gu Kai, the relationship between these two people has quickly heated up!

No matter where the little girl went, the first person she looked for was her brother, and the second person she looked for was definitely Gu Kai.

Even I have to sit in the back row.

And now, if Cancan is tired or sleepy, she will actually reach out to Gu Kai to hold her, and even her brother sometimes dislikes it.

The old man said that it was because their abilities complemented each other that they naturally felt close to each other.

But even though he knew this was the reason, Chen Cong couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Forget about Cancan, but it’s the same for Shichen!

Now everything is done according to my father-in-law's lead and I am extremely obedient.

Sometimes when he saw how well-behaved and sensible he was, Chen Cong began to doubt whether the alert, stubborn and proud Shi Chen he knew before was the same person as he is now.

Anyway, generally speaking, Chencong feels a bit neglected nowadays.

After Cancan rushed down, he pounced directly towards Gu Kaifei.

Then he stretched out his hand and asked for a hug.

Gu Kai was already accustomed to this. He bent down and picked up Cancan, who had become a little fat lump of meat, and held her in his arms.

Cancan also naturally hugged his neck.

After holding Cancan, Gu Kai waved to Shanshan who was standing aside and said, "Come here, let your uncle hold you."

Shanshan is young, and more than a year has passed. She no longer has any memory of her biological father.

But when she sees other children having fathers, she would also be envious.

Just like Xiaoxue, who is a few years older than her in the yard, sometimes plays outside with her father.

Shanshan didn't say anything, but every time she saw them, her eyes would be glued to the father and daughter, refusing to leave for a long time.

At this time, Cancan was picked up by Gu Kai. The little girl stood aside biting her fingers, with unspeakable desire in her eyes.

Hearing Gu Kai calling her, Shanshan was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at her mother who was standing aside.

"Xiao Kai, stop messing around. You can't hold both of them at once." Chen Xi hurriedly tried to stop him.

Gu Kai didn't answer, he took two steps forward, bent down and picked up Shanshan.

Then he replied: "Sister, you underestimate me too much, let alone the two of them, Tongtong, come here and see if your uncle can pick you up too!"

Tongtong laughed and shook his head desperately at the words that were said beside him.

Tongtong is a few years older and a little more sensible than Shanshan.

No matter how envious he was, he would definitely not come closer at this moment.

But like his sister, there was a hint of envy in his eyes.

Just as Tongtong was looking at her sister who was sitting in her uncle's arms and giggling with envy, her feet suddenly felt empty and she was lifted up from behind.

He screamed in fright and then found himself sitting on someone's shoulder.

Tongtong immediately grabbed the man's hair instinctively.

After he came to his senses, he realized that he was sitting on Shi Chen's shoulder.

"Brother Chenchen?" He called out in disbelief.

"Well, sit down." Shi Chen still didn't say much, but he held his waist with his hands and shook him up again.

Shi Chen has grown a lot this year.

The seventeen-year-old boy is already about 1.8 meters tall and has the features of an adult.

Tongtong sat on his shoulders, and his vision suddenly broadened a lot. A rare look of surprise and happiness suddenly appeared on the child's face.

Seeing the performance of the two children, the adults felt complicated, but they all understood it tacitly and no one mentioned it.

"Okay, the kids have all gone out, so you don't have to stay at home anymore, let's go out for a walk as a family." Shen Jianyi sighed and said to his wife and eldest daughter.

The Shen family's trip was so grand that it really attracted attention.

They hadn't walked far when Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin came to meet them.

"Someone just said they saw your car coming back, and I told Shi Lei that we should go check on your family. But before we even left the house, someone else came calling us, saying that your whole family had come out.

Look at this whole family, where are you going?"

Before he even came up to them, Lao Cao greeted everyone with a smile.

"My son-in-law came back and wanted to see how our community's defense preparations were going. We told him to eat first and then come back, but he refused.

He is a serious person, so what can we do? So the whole family had to come with him. "

Shen Jianyi seemed to be complaining, but in fact he was showing off.

Everyone knows that the daughter and son-in-law of the Shen family are both very promising. Not only are they excellent, but both of them have awakened special abilities!

This is really something that one can’t even envy.

So no one felt that there was anything wrong with Old Man Shen's showing off, and the two captains nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, even if Gu Kai doesn't come, we will have to invite him! You are the experts in the city now, and you have more experience in planting than us.

Now that you are back, you must stay a few more days. We are all waiting to learn from you!"

As Lao Cao spoke, he had already walked to the front to lead the way: "Let's go to the cornfield first. The fence over there has been fixed."

Naturally, a group of people followed.

The author has something to say:
