After Zheng Lanxiang finished cooking, she stood at the kitchen doorway, ready to call her daughter over to help serve the dishes. Seeing that the living room was quiet, she didn't call out.
Jiang Shuyin is watching TV, but now she can only receive local and national radio stations.
News in Anshi mainly focuses on people's livelihoods, while the national radio station reports and tracks major events both domestically and internationally.
This is local news time. The former deputy mayor, Lu Qiuying, is now the mayor, and the vacant position has been taken by a young man who was parachuted in.
Jiang Shuyin's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily as she watched the new deputy mayor being interviewed on television.
—Shangguan Chen.
After the reporter finished asking his question, Shangguan Chen answered: "We are currently conducting a pilot program in Anshi to encourage entrepreneurship and sharing. Regarding the housing issues everyone faces..."
On television, Shangguan Chen's voice was unpleasant, even harsh, which amplified her suspicions.
Jiang Shu rushed back to her room and turned on her phone.
It hasn't been charged for a long time and has now automatically entered low power mode.
—Official: My voice is broken, I'm sorry.
—Shangguan: Are you disabled? Can you move around?
—Official: Yes, it is active.
His last message was that picture; his mother is still practicing every day, and her mental state is even better than before the apocalypse.
WeChat is no longer usable; only smart bracelets can be used for communication. However, smart bracelets, which are widely used, have not yet been officially approved.
"Xiao Yin, come and eat."
Zheng Lanxiang called from the living room, "Bring me a bowl and chopsticks."
Jiang Shuyin put down her phone and came out. They all sat down at the table and found that there was another person on the sofa.
Zheng Lanxiang went over to check: "Why is this child asleep? He must have caught a cold from the cold blankets."
Jiang Shuyin followed the gaze and paused for a moment: "Let him sleep. We'll find him something to eat if he gets hungry."
At the dinner table, Zheng Lanxiang kept urging Xie Yin to eat more cucumbers: "I'll ask Lao Ge to buy some more for me tomorrow. What else does Xiao Xie like to eat? Let's change things up once in a while."
"Anything is fine except spicy." Xie Yin wasn't picky; it didn't matter to him what he ate.
That previous hearty meal was enough to sustain him with plenty of energy for more than ten years.
Zheng Lanxiang: "Okay, I understand. I'll go out to buy groceries first thing tomorrow morning, and Xiaoyin will come with me."
Jiang Shuyin: "Okay."
"Oh, right, Mom, my friend is staying at our house tonight. We'll find him a place to stay tomorrow and then send him there."
Next to the storage room in the house, there is a small room with a bed, which was originally intended for visiting relatives.
Zheng Lanxiang: "Then I'll tidy up and let your friend stay here for now."
After finishing his meal, Xie Yin had no reason to stay any longer.
Jiang Shuyin pulled him aside and said, "Where's the egg I gave you? You can give it back to me now."
If you're free tomorrow, I'll come over and sort out Alvin's accommodation problem.
Xie Yin pulled a lake-blue egg from his pocket, or rather, from his body.
The pocket is only so big; there's absolutely no way to put an egg in it without it being visible.
Jiang Shuyin glanced at him.
Xie Yin: "The day after tomorrow, I'll go out tomorrow."
"OK." Jiang Shuyin took the egg; it wasn't warm at all.
Xie Yin walked to the entrance hall, carefully stored his shoes in the shoe cabinet, and turned around.
Jiang Shuyin subconsciously said, "Take care."
Xie Yin nodded, closed the door, and a few footsteps echoed in the hallway.
After seeing him off, Jiang Shu led him back to her room to get clothes and wash up.
Seeing that the thermometer on the wall showed zero degrees, he went around to the sofa and threw a blanket at Alvin.
The blanket unfurled in the air and gently landed on Alvin.
Zheng Lanxiang had already taken the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, and the food she had specially set aside was still being kept warm in the rice cooker.
The only sounds in the house were the soft murmur of news broadcasts, the clinking of dishes in the kitchen, and the sound of water running in the bathroom, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Jiang Shu took a very serious shower.
Then he pulled his mother, who had finished her chores, into the room.
Zheng Lanxiang looked puzzled: "Why are you being so secretive? Are you really planning to have two boyfriends to live with?"
Several black lines appeared on Jiang Shuyin's forehead: "No."
She called out the children from the safe house. The five children lined up in a row, and Jiang Shuyin introduced them to her mother, starting with the eldest.
First up was Qingwu, who was surprisingly reserved at this point: "This is the boss, named Qingwu, the 'wu' in 'wutong,' meaning he can handle several monsters bigger than him."
Zheng Lanxiang involuntarily opened her mouth wide, her eyes glazed over.
Then it was Heimei who, feeling her mother's gaze, stood up and bowed to her grandmother.
Jiang Shuyin smiled and said, "This is Heimei, the plum blossom. She is the second oldest among plum blossoms and is an amazing doctor. She treated all my injuries."
Next up was Fei Tao, who, as usual, was just a little more curious: "Third brother Fei Tao, do you want a crimson peach? It can bring good luck."
Zheng Lanxiang knows ICE: "I even touched it before. I thought it was a toy, but I didn't expect it to be a real doll."
"His name is ICE, he is the fourth oldest, and he has ice-type superpowers."
"The last one is Lan Han, ranked fifth, and also has ice-type abilities. They are twins."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Lanxiang leaned closer to take a closer look: "They look completely different. How come some are little babies, while others are...like this?"
Jiang Shuyin said very straightforwardly, "I don't know either, but you're a grandmother now."
Zheng Lanxiang hadn't reacted yet, and pointed at herself speechlessly.
Qingwu immediately called out, "Grandma!"
It was crisp and clear.
Zheng Lanxiang reflexively turned her head and replied, "Yes—"
Heimei and the other children called out again, leaving Zheng Lanxiang completely dumbfounded.
Jiang Shuyin laughed heartlessly: "Mom, she's calling you."
"Sigh." Zheng Lanxiang was still confused.
Then, with a "crack," the shell hatched.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the source of the sound.
[Baby number six has hatched!]
A tiny hand emerges from the eggshell.
Black Plum's eyes gleamed with excitement, her fists clenched tightly in front of her chest.
Then, a wisp of lake-blue hair swung out, and a small clump rolled off the eggshell as soon as it landed.
The bed sank slightly.
The newborn baby was like a princess from an ice and snow kingdom, with skin whiter than snow, and eyes the same color as her hair, shining with a cool luster.
Zheng Lanxiang exclaimed, "My goodness! This baby is so beautiful!"
The sixth cub has a rare aptitude, and its initial attributes are as follows.
