On the way back, Jiang Shuyin got lost again.
She was just wandering around aimlessly when she arrived, and she didn't pay attention to the way when the receptionist led her. Now, after walking for a while, she doesn't even know where she is.
"Where did you park your car?" The school bully's voice was also in line with his character, indifferent and clear with a wild edge.
Jiang Shuyin took a picture at the time, afraid that she would forget: "J District 1034".
After a moment's thought, Duan Xiaoba said, "This way."
He didn't say much, and Jiang Shu led the way behind him, her eyes filled with admiration.
Without any idle chatter, after walking for about ten minutes, Jiang Shuyin finally saw her car.
Duan, the school bully, put all her things in the back seat. Since boys like cars, he also glanced at them a few more times.
Her car wasn't a luxury brand. As Jiang Shu closed the door, she saw his departing figure. Her gaze drifted down to his hand, which was bruised and swollen from the straps. She quickly called out to him, "Little Duan..."
He turned to the side, his face expressionless.
Your hand...
"It's nothing." He turned to leave again, but Jiang Shu pulled him away. She was pushed away forcefully and frowned, not quite understanding what was happening.
Duan immediately apologized: "Sorry, it was a conditioned reflex."
Jiang Shuyin rubbed the back of her numb hand: "You're quite strong, is it a strength-based ability?"
Duan paused for a moment, then nodded.
Jiang Shuyin could guess the sad story behind the child's personality and behavior without even thinking. Considering that he helped her carry her things, she decided to give him a few words of advice.
“Superpowers can be cultivated, and you don’t necessarily need a crystal core. You can also use sunlight. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.” Jiang Shu reached for her keys to get into the car.
Duan watched her leave because the delivery took too long, and when he got back, his uncle scolded him.
After helping pack up the stalls late at night, he lay down on his bed and set his alarm for sunrise the next day.
Whether it's true or not, as long as there's even the slightest possibility, he wants to try it. He wants to grow up quickly and become stronger; he doesn't want to become a burden.
......
As soon as she left the base, Jiang Shuyin hurriedly let the little ones out. The three little guys hadn't seen her for a long time and didn't say a word, just looking at her with resentful little eyes.
Jiang Shuyin was both amused and exasperated: "Babies, Mommy really didn't mean it." She explained everything that had happened to the children, and Heimei was the first to respond with a sweet hum.
ICE sighed. Actually, he wasn't angry with his mother at all; he was just going along with his sister.
Shui Ning rolled her eyes, thinking about her reward: "Mom..."
Jiang Shuyin took them out from her spatial storage and handed them out one by one: "Take a look and see if you like them."
"We love it!" the three children exclaimed in unison, making Jiang Shu's eardrums throb.
Heimei let her younger brother put the pendant on her finger, and she really loved the gift as she twirled the pendant between her fingers.
"Heimei, do you remember when you were born? Your eggshell had this pattern, and that's when I thought of your name. Isn't it beautiful?"
"Yes." Heimei blushed. She was no longer angry with her mother; she loved her mother so much.
After ICE helped her put it on, he opened his reward. The silver ring shimmered in the light, and the light blue gemstone in the center made the ring even more cold and elegant.
The ring was a bit too big; it could only fit on his thumb. He pursed his lips and pouted his thumb.
Heimei, who was helping her younger sister put on the bracelet, exclaimed, "It even jingles! How amazing!"
Shui Ning laughed so hard her big eyes narrowed into slits.
Seeing how much they enjoyed it, Jiang Shuyin felt very happy. She chatted and laughed all the way home, and before she knew it, she was home.
Unable to open the door with her key, Jiang Shu called her mother. When Zheng Lanxiang answered, her voice was visibly trembling: "What's wrong? What happened?"
It's almost midnight. My daughter knows she goes to bed at nine and never calls her at this time.
"Open the door, I'm home."
Jiang Shuyin hung up the phone, and soon the door opened from the inside. Zheng Lanxiang saw that it really was her daughter, and smiled as she punched her on the shoulder: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you rush back at this hour? Have you eaten?"
Jiang Shu led the three children inside first: "I have to get up early tomorrow, so let's just go home and sleep."
Zheng Lanxiang hugged her three grandsons and personally changed their shoes: "You're so lazy. I'm just worried that the children will suffer because of you."
"Will you sleep with Mom or Grandma tonight?" Zheng Lanxiang's tone changed when she spoke to her grandson.
Heimei and Shuining have just come out and haven't had enough time with their mother yet.
Clutching her mother's clothes, she cried, "I want to sleep with Mommy!"
Zheng Lanxiang laughed and scolded.
ICE pursed his lips, his eyes lowered, he wanted to too...
Zheng Lanxiang was awake by now, and asked Jiang Shuyin to lead Heimei and Shui Ning to wash up, while she took ICE to the room to see the newly made bedding.
ICE felt a moment of loss, constantly telling herself: You're not a child anymore, and the price of growing up is sleeping alone.
At one o'clock in the morning, everyone turned off the lights and went to bed, and the room returned to silence.
With a five-figure bank account, Jiang Shuyin took a two-week vacation, and the airfare subsidy she applied for arrived on the third day. In addition, with the 200 task points from escorting the teacher, her bank account was already a five-figure account starting with 5.
After resting for two days, Jiang Shuyin checked the local education website in Anshi and found that the children in the Garden Community were assigned to Yincheng Primary School, which was very close and less than a ten-minute walk away.
After communicating with ICE, he agreed to go to the school, so Jiang Shuyin took him to the school for consultation.
The principal was quite angry: "What kind of parents are you? Don't you even know when school starts? Winter break is almost here, how are you going to make up for the months of missed lessons?"
Those who work in education value children the most.
As a parent, Jiang Shuyin could even forget this. She was scolded by the principal in the office and still had to smile apologetically.
After all, they just felt sorry for the child. Sigh—
After talking for a full half hour, the principal finally stopped to take a sip of goji berry water: "Bring your household registration booklet tomorrow. Make copies of the child's and the head of household's books, as well as a copy of the property ownership certificate. Don't forget to bring your vaccination record as well."
Jiang Shu was completely bewildered; she didn't have any of these things.
The children are now all unregistered...
After thinking for a moment, she asked the principal, "I'm worried he won't adapt. Can we pay first so he can try it out?"
When I ask Minister Hu for help, I'll have to go back and make up a reason on the spot. I'm already feeling overwhelmed.
Principal: "Okay, I'll say hello to Ms. Zhou from Class 3. Ace, right? Go see Ms. Zhou in Class 3 of Grade 1 tomorrow."
ICE nodded.
After leaving the principal's office, Jiang Shu led him to the classroom: "Go here tomorrow, don't go to the wrong place."
“Okay.” ICE remembered the way back.
Jiang Shuyin then took him to buy a schoolbag and stationery. When ICE saw these things, he became a little interested in going to school.
