Throughout the meal, Jiang Shuyin never received a question from her parents about why she was sleeping on the floor.
She would show it on her face when she had something on her mind, and Jiang Jianli smiled knowingly: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Shuyin: "...What time did you get back last night?"
Jiang Jianli chuckled: "It was around ten o'clock. I rushed home after finishing my studies. You were already asleep and had closed the door, so you didn't hear me when I knocked."
Jiang Shuyin's face stiffened as she buried her head in her food and carefully recalled the events.
Did you sleepwalk up there?
Using the excuse of going to the bathroom, Jiang Shu asked Jiang Jianli to wait for her for five minutes. After closing the door, she questioned the system: "Tell me honestly, how did I get into bed yesterday?"
Ask the baby.
If the system had a humanoid form, it would be looking up at the sky while speaking.
Jiang Shuyin took a deep breath: "Just you wait and see."
She will definitely find a way.
Sitting in the car watching the scenery rushing past, Jiang Shuyin wondered why the system made her raise a baby, and why she was storing egg cells in the form of eggs.
Your special ability.
Jiang Shuyin glanced at the driver's seat and asked in her mind, "You mean my special ability is laying eggs?"
You could say that's why I've chosen to be with you.
What kind of bullshit superpower is this?
[Similar to Pokémon, where you capture and defeat creatures, you have the ability to control and share your offspring through blood relations.]
Jiang Shuyin suddenly recalled those classic lines.
I choose you! Pikachu, unleash Thunderbolt!
【almost. 】
Jiang Shuyin was quite shocked. Jiang Jianli glanced back and assumed that his daughter was exhausted these past few days. He advised her, "Don't be so stubborn. Take a break when you need to. Balance work and rest. With Dad here, you'll be fine getting into your job. Besides, you have superpowers."
Jiang Shuyin: "......" Can we please not mention superpowers?
After meeting with my partner Cui Yang, we continued our journey from yesterday to Luogang Village, visiting two village chiefs before coming to see me.
The village chief of Luogang Village is a newly appointed college graduate in his early forties. He speaks with a smile and doesn't have that pretentious or greasy air about him.
"Two more families came to our village yesterday. They were people who had left the village before. Do you think we should register them now, or...?"
Jiang Shuyin and Cui Yang exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Wait a moment, let us ask."
Since the village chief was still standing there, Jiang Shuyin had no choice but to check the group chat to see if anyone else had encountered the same situation. Since casual chatting wasn't allowed in the group, there weren't many messages.
She would also take a moment to look around, and after a quick glance, she would see that someone had asked about it.
The officer replied: First, we'll count the original residents, and then register the newcomers. Once we've finished surveying one village, that's it. Anyone who comes after that should go to the government service hall to apply for a residence permit.
Jiang Shuyin relayed this to the village chief, who nodded and stood there for a while before leaving.

"Breaking news: Following the arrival of a giant marine animal from Australia, a large number of amphibians have been spotted coming ashore along the coast of the South my country Sea, causing disruption to residents' lives..."
"Two cargo ships were attacked by marine life in Chinese waters, resulting in 7 deaths, 2 injuries, and 3 missing persons..."
Zheng Lanxiang's heart tightened. Her second sister was working in a coastal city. She put down the remote control and made a phone call to say hello.
It took three tries before they answered.
"Hey, second sister, I saw on the news that a lot of things from the sea have come ashore over there. Are you alright?"
"You're overthinking it. What could possibly happen? If it were really as you say, it would be a good thing. Your brother-in-law and I can't even afford meat anymore."
Zheng Lanxiang frowned: "Why can't we afford meat again? Don't you two earn a combined 13,000 yuan?"
Zheng Meixiang sighed: "It's the off-season now, and it would be good if I could get 10,000. Tuition fees are expensive here, and I have to rent a house. There are all sorts of living expenses. All the money I have left over at the end of the year goes to social obligations during the Spring Festival. That's why I don't want to go home for the Spring Festival."
Zheng Lanxiang then asked, "Why don't you come back? I heard from Lao Jiang that many people have come to Anshi. You can save money and have some savings."
"Don't be naive, sis. There are no factories to work in in Anshi. You'll have to transfer schools and move to a different place for the two kids. Forget it, I haven't eaten yet, I'm hanging up now."
The screen flickered twice and returned to the chat interface. The last call in the history was two months ago.
Actually, she regretted saying those words earlier. That's the problem with Anshi. There are few factories and not many permanent residents, so it can't develop. There are few job opportunities and no one is willing to come. Local talents can't be retained either, creating a vicious cycle.
Take the bakery where she was supposed to work, for example. They told her that she wasn't serious about her work and that they would call her back when they needed more staff.
Jiang Jianli is indeed a superhuman, but his connections aren't strong enough, which is why Zheng Lanxiang was eliminated.
After the news broadcast, Zheng Lanxiang didn't rest. She spread out her yoga mat and started exercising. The weather in the south was already quite hot in June, and she was sweating profusely after half an hour.
After taking a shower, I heard noises coming from my daughter's room. I thought she had come back, so I knocked on the door, but there was no response.
"Xiao Yin?"
The little guy, who had just finished doing something naughty, quickly hid in his glasses case.
Zheng Lanxiang pushed the door open and found no one there. Looking up, she realized that the window was not closed properly, and something might have been blown away by the wind.
She walked over and closed the door, glancing at the desk: "It's already five o'clock? Go cook for them, father and daughter."
The little dog hid motionless in the glasses case. Its mother always made it hide when other people were around, so even though it didn't know why it had to hide, it would still obey its mother.
Sigh, it also wants to be like its mother and call out "Mom—"
It sneaked out of the window last night and forgot to close it. After getting lost, it was found and brought back by its father.
