Shang Shiying was taken aback. Shen Luojia's explanation made sense; after marriage, one is bound to have children.
Smiling and nodding, "Yes, does Luo Jia like little babies?"
Shen Luojia still had her own thoughts: "I like Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang, but Simin said we can't bring them back. How can we give birth to the same ones?"
Shang Shiying laughed and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. The baby born to Luo Jia will be as beautiful as Luo Jia. Besides, the baby is very small when it is first born. It will take two years to grow up to be as big as Xiao Zhouji and Shang Shang."
As she spoke, she gestured to Shen Luojia.
Shen Luojia frowned, having her own thoughts. She felt that Xiao Zhouji and Shang Shang were good friends, and that she could play with them.
As Li Simin went downstairs, he overheard Shang Shiying talking to Shen Luojia about their child. Somewhat helplessly, he walked over and asked, "Mom, why are you telling her this?"
Shang Shiying rolled her eyes at him: "I'll slowly instill this knowledge in her now, and she'll gradually remember it all."
Watching Shen Luojia go to the kitchen to deliver garlic cloves, she asked Li Simin, "I see that you two get along quite well. If it doesn't work out, you should get engaged quickly to avoid any rumors going around."
Li Simin frowned: "It's too fast, she won't be able to adapt."
Shang Shiying exclaimed "Eh?" and then sighed, "You don't object anymore? And what's so fast about it? Your father and I got engaged after meeting once, and then got married on the third meeting. We've lived together for a lifetime, haven't we?"
"Many people get engaged and married after just one blind date, and they don't even meet more than five times. You two have been cultivating feelings for each other for so many days."
Li Simin didn't say much to his mother; he knew very well that he liked Shen Luojia.
Unlike his feelings for Song Man back then, which were tinged with youthful shyness and timidity, there was an excessive caution and reckless impulsiveness.
He liked Shen Luojia because of the purity he felt when he was with her; he could feel a sense of peace just by looking at her, even without saying a word.
There was no impulsive act without considering the consequences; instead, there was a long-term plan: how to teach her more while preserving her innocence.
There is love, and there is responsibility.
When Shang Shiying saw that Li Simin didn't speak or refute, she knew that her son was happy.
The thought made her overjoyed. If they were to get engaged, she would definitely go to Chen Limin's house in person to invite her.
...
Just as they were getting ready for lunch, Jiang Zhizhi brought Jiang Zhenhua over.
Shang Shiying quickly called to the aunt to add more bowls and chopsticks: "Come on, wash your hands and come eat. We just sat down at the table."
The fourth and fifth children in the family are at the age where they have big appetites, so I cook a lot of food for every meal.
As Shang Shiying spoke, she urged the fourth and fifth sons to go to the kitchen to eat, lest their ravenous eating habits frighten people.
He then gestured for Jiang Zhenhua to sit down quickly.
From the moment Jiang Zhenhua entered the room, he kept staring at Shen Luojia. Even after sitting down as Shang Shiying had instructed, he was still looking at Shen Luojia.
As I looked, tears welled up in my eyes.
He couldn't help but take off his glasses and wipe his eyes. It was strange; Shen Luojia didn't resemble him or Song Wanying.
But when he saw this child, he couldn't help but feel the urge to cry.
Upon closer inspection, Shen Luojia's eyebrows and eyes do resemble those of her deceased younger sister.
Seeing that Jiang Zhenhua was staring at her, Shen Luojia was a little unhappy. She moved closer to Li Simin with a stiff face and muttered in a loud voice, "That person is very rude. He keeps staring at me."
Li Simin smiled and said, "He's a very nice uncle. He thinks you're as beautiful and cute as his daughter, so he couldn't help but want to see you."
Shen Luojia frowned, and before she could speak, Li Simin knew what she was thinking. He explained, "Uncle's daughter was lost when she was very young. He misses his daughter very much, and seeing you is like seeing his daughter."
Fearing that Shen Luojia might not be able to explain, he further explained, "It's like when you see an old lady selling noodles, you think of your own grandmother."
Shen Luojia understood, immediately sat up straight, and looked at Jiang Zhenhua: "You can watch it."
Jiang Zhenhua's tears fell again, and he turned to look at Shang Shiying: "I...I really have never felt this way before. I feel sad when I see this child."
It has a very magical feeling.
Shang Shiying comforted her, "I understand. Don't think too much about it. Whether it's true or not, it's all fate."
She had already come up with a plan. If a DNA test showed that Shen Luojia wasn't Jiang Zhenhua's daughter, she could adopt her as a daughter, which would be much better than Sun Xiaoyue.
Jiang Zhenhua rubbed his eyes again and looked at Shen Luojia with a kind expression: "You grew up with your grandmother?"
Shen Luojia nodded, then suddenly remembered something and secretly calculated in her mind that there were still seven days until the day Shen Qingping had promised. Then she could go back to see her grandmother.
Just thinking about it makes me feel better.
Jiang Zhenhua exclaimed, "Your grandmother raised you very well."
Shang Shiying agreed: "Yes, although we suffered a lot, we raised our child very well, and he is very polite."
Jiang Zhenhua had already heard about Shen Luojia's situation from Jiang Zhizhi, so when he saw Shen Luojia, he couldn't help but feel even more sorry for her.
Shen Luojia frowned and turned to look at Li Simin: "Can I eat now? I'm hungry."
Are you always talking and not eating?
Jiang Zhenhua snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "Let's eat, let's eat first. I'm sorry, I got too excited and disturbed your meal."
Shen Luojia stopped talking and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Li Simin served her her favorite cabbage stew with glass noodles, and also a few pieces of meat.
Shen Luojia didn't even look up, focusing solely on her meal.
Jiang Zhenhua felt sad again as he watched.
After dinner, Jiang Zhizhi and Li Simin accompanied Jiang Zhenhua and Shen Luojia to the forensic identification center.
In principle, bloodline testing is not done for private individuals. Jiang Zhenhua used his connections and went without delay. Blood was drawn and tested, but the results would take a week to come out.
After all, the equipment and technology weren't that advanced yet.
Shen Luojia rubbed her arm and had another vial of blood drawn: "Why are you drawing blood again?"
Li Simin smiled and said, "I'll tell you when the results are out. What do you want to eat now? Cookies or ox-tongue biscuits?"
The moment food was mentioned, Shen Luojia's attention was immediately diverted: "Pea flour cake and orange soda, and two red bean popsicles."
Li Simin nodded and smiled; "Okay, let's go buy it now."
Jiang Zhizhi walked behind Jiang Zhenhua.
Listening to their conversation, Jiang Zhenhua still felt very sad: "Zhizhi, I have a feeling that she really is our daughter, but seeing her like this, I really feel... How much suffering has she had to endure all these years?"
"Have you been bullied a lot?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "In the countryside, even families with able-bodied members have a hard time making ends meet, let alone Luo Jia and her grandmother, who are all alone. But her grandmother raised her very well."
Jiang Zhenhua suddenly stopped and burst into tears. Although the results were not yet available, his emotions had already collapsed.
"It's all my fault... I didn't take good care of her, and she's suffered so much."
