Chapter 88
It was a sumptuous meal, but it ended early because Shanshan's supernatural powers were suddenly activated.
But no one was unhappy.
Everyone drank the cool iced mung bean soup and felt extremely refreshed.
The adults didn't come over, but watched from afar. Only the Shen sisters held Shanshan in their arms and sat on the sofa, asking questions in a soft voice.
"Shanshan, when will you turn water into ice?" Chen Cong asked.
"yesterday."
"Yesterday?" The two sisters expressed their doubts in unison.
The little girl blinked, unsure herself.
She leaned in her mother's arms and thought for a while, then tentatively asked, "Today?"
After saying that, he shook his head and poked his face with his fingers, looking confused: "Yesterday, today, and so many days."
The Shen sisters looked at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
The few people sitting nearby were also speechless—
The child is really too young.
And Shanshan was born abroad.
One or two years old is the best time to learn language, but they are traveling all over the place.
So she suffered from a common problem among children who grew up in a multilingual environment, which is that they sometimes get confused about languages.
It's better now. When she first came back, she could hardly speak for half a year.
When he occasionally spoke, it was only two or three words at a time, and he couldn't even make out a complete sentence.
It is really difficult to expect to get the truth out of a child like this.
Chen Cong had no choice but to change the way he asked: "Shanshan, what else can you do besides turning water into ice?"
In order to make it easier for children to understand, she also gave an example: "Just like your sister Cancan, she can water the flowers with her fingers, can you do it?"
When this was mentioned, Shanshan's eyes suddenly lit up.
She jumped out of her mother's arms, raised her finger and said proudly, "I can shoot a gun!"
After saying that, before anyone could react, he suddenly stretched out his hand and reached towards his brother.
“Don’t!” Before Chen Cong could stop her, he heard Tongtong scream “Ah!” and bounced up from the small stool.
"Mom, Shanshan hit me! It hurts!"
The young man glared at his sister angrily and yelled loudly.
As he spoke, he rubbed his exposed calves with his hands, pointing at the red marks and complaining in pain.
In fact, when he yelled, everyone in the family felt a jolt in their hearts. Before he could finish his words, Gu Kai had already rushed to him.
Gu Kai squatted down and touched Tongtong's leg first. After confirming that there was only a red mark where his finger was below the knee and there were no other injuries, he waved to everyone.
Then he picked up a small lump of ice that had not completely melted from the ground.
Shen Cong also came over at this time, and when he saw Bing, he reached out to take it.
The ice cube had melted a little, but it was still the size of a soybean. It felt no different from ordinary ice, but it looked crystal clear, probably because the water was very pure.
At this moment, Shen Xi was so angry at her little daughter that she was fuming. She scolded with a stern face: "Why did you shoot at your brother so casually? Do you know that hitting someone with ice cubes hurts! What if you hit your brother in the face or eyes?!"
Shanshan's originally cheerful face was now full of dissatisfaction.
She glanced at everyone, especially at her grandparents, but could see disapproval on the adults' faces.
The little girl felt wronged. She pouted and pointed at Cancan with a wronged look: "Sister, you can! She shot at me!"
The corners of Shi Chen's mouth twitched again, knowing that this was all caused by the game in the morning.
He was about to open his mouth to explain, but Tongtong suddenly thought of something and jumped up!
He pointed at Shanshan and accused loudly: "The vegetable leaves upstairs weren't bitten by insects, they were all damaged by you, right? Shanshan, you're the one who tore all those leaves!"
The little guy was really pissed.
He didn't even wait for his sister to answer, and went over to grab grandpa's clothes: "Grandpa, hit her! There are no bugs on our roof at all, those holes must have been caused by Shanshan!"
Tongtong has been catching bugs upstairs with his grandfather for three days. It's so hot today, the little guy is almost dying of heat.
As soon as I realized this, I got so angry that my face turned red.
When Shanshan heard that her brother was going to hit her, she immediately got angry. She walked over and pushed her brother, saying angrily, "No! Shanshan hits the bugs! Not the leaves!"
"There are no bugs upstairs. You smashed all the leaves. You used ice to smash them!"
"It's not broken, there are bugs, kill the bugs!"
…
Shen Jianyi and Cheng Ru rubbed their ears at the same time.
The couple did not feel happy at all that they had solved the case. Instead, they looked distressed as they looked at their two troublesome grandchildren.
Chen Xi was also troubled by the noise of these two brats and didn't even want to look at them.
So, without any adults to stop them, the two kids just started fighting in the living room under the watchful eyes of the whole family.
The fight was very emotional and neither of them gave in.
"You know what, these two little bastards are in pretty good shape. They just spent so much energy, I was exhausted for them, but in the end, wow, they still fought pretty vigorously."
Chen Cong sat down in the seat that Tong Tong had occupied before, staring at the two people in the arena with great interest, with no intention of trying to stop the fight at all.
I also commented while watching.
Gu Kai covered his forehead and couldn't help but laugh along.
The Shen family has always adopted a laissez-faire approach to their children's education. As long as they do not go beyond the rules and do not involve issues of principle, the brother and sister can argue as they please.
If you want to quarrel, go ahead and quarrel. If you want to fight, go ahead and fight.
As long as you don't bully the weak and don't really hurt or injure anyone, it's all fine.
Otherwise, the two people who are locked up in the yard every day will have excess energy and be bored, and the adults will suffer as a result.
So when Cheng Ru saw the brother and sister fighting, she tried to stop them, but Chen Xi ignored her.
Finally, seeing that their quarreling was really annoying, I picked them up one by one and threw them into the yard.
Cancan was extremely excited, his eyes rolling around, and when he saw the two people being thrown out, he followed them out happily without being told by the adults.
I’m so happy that it feels like New Year’s Day.
After all, she had little chance of encountering such a scene.
There was a big age gap between her and her brother, so Shi Chen would definitely not fight with her.
Xiaoyu gave in to her in everything, so there was no way they could fight.
Soon, the sound of three children laughing and making noises could be heard outside, and it was unclear whether they were fighting or playing.
All three children ran away. Shi Chen followed them out out of concern, and the room finally became quiet.
Chen Cong kindly asked at this moment: "Sister, why don't you go and keep an eye on them? They both looked very tired just now."
Chen Xi had already gotten over the initial excitement of learning that his children had superpowers, and now thinking about the two children, he was filled with only worry.
She didn't answer her sister's question, but hit her head with her hand and asked worriedly: "They are both so young, it's not a good thing for this superpower to appear, right?"
Just by looking at the way the two of them acted just now, you can tell that they don't understand the importance of this power at all, let alone how to use it.
And both of them have offensive abilities, which can't be used well...
Chen Xi didn't even dare to think about it, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
"Don't think too much about it. Since he shows up, it means he is suitable. Look at Cancan, she didn't know how to use it before, isn't she doing well now?" Old Master Gu comforted her.
"Cancan's special ability can't hurt anyone, right?" Chen Xi was still worried.
The two in her family, one plays with iron and the other plays with ice, both of which are dangerous items.
"Why can't it hurt people? Can a high-pressure water gun hurt people?
Think about how much land Cancan watered this morning and how long did he do it? If all this water is compressed together, do you think it will hurt anyone?" Chen Cong asked back.
Chen Xi pondered for a moment and immediately fell silent.
"Then, do they have to go with you? They are still too young. How can they leave home?" Cheng Ru asked the question that she had been worried about since a while ago.
This question really hit the nail on the head. Neither Mr. Gu, Chen Cong, nor Gu Kai could answer it immediately.
The room fell silent for a moment.
"Don't take them away yet? They are too young, and it will only cause trouble for you. Even if Xixi goes with you, she can't take care of two children by herself."
Seeing that no one spoke, Cheng Ru suddenly became anxious.
Shen Jianyi, who was standing next to him, also looked at his in-laws worriedly: "Brother Gu, do you want to take him away?"
Shen Jianyi would not stop his daughter and son-in-law from returning to the city, but his two grandchildren...
If he really left like this, I wouldn't feel at ease even if my eldest daughter followed him.
If we have to go... Shen Jianyi gritted his teeth and decided that if we have to go, then the whole family should go.
But when I think about the house here, the foundation they have built with so much effort and hard work, I can't help but feel reluctant to give it up.
"Don't let them go." Chen Cong figured it out now.
She looked at her father-in-law, then at her husband: "Tongtong and I have the same ability, and Shanshan's ability can't help increase production and income. Besides, their abilities have just been stimulated and need to be consolidated. There is no point in letting them go back to the city."
Gu Kai nodded: "I think so too, let them stay at home, if not, dad can stay for a few more days."
He turned to look at his father and said, "Dad, you stay and help them stabilize their realm and take care of them. When there's something going on over there, we'll come back to pick you up."
"Okay." Mr. Gu also figured it out.
There wasn't much for him to do in the city, except for those Chinese medicines.
Those medicines can be grown anywhere, so it doesn’t matter if you come back to grow them.
The two children are indeed too young. I won’t even mention Shanshan. As for Tongtong, although he is the same age as Cancan, he is a few months older than Cancan.
But because they live in a different environment and suffer different hardships, he is obviously not as mature as Cancan.
Even if Liu Tuan saw these two children, he would probably tell them to raise them at home until they grow up.
The family was discussing the children's affairs when Shi Lei's voice came from outside: "Uncle Chen, Auntie, open the door!"
Everyone paused and Shen Jianyi hurried out to greet them.
Soon, Shen Jianyi's complaints were heard at the door again: "What are you doing with so many things? Take them away, don't put them here. If you put them here, I won't let you in."
The people in the room looked at each other, and Chen Cong stood up and walked out first.
As a result, as soon as she went out, she saw her father blocking the door, refusing to let Shi Lei and Lao Cao in.
"Dad, what are you doing?" She took two quick steps and spoke out to stop him.
Shen Jianyi turned around and pointed at the door: "Look at what they are doing!"
Everyone in the room came out, and then they saw a sack half a person's height placed on the ground between the two people outside the door.
The sack was not closed, and from their angle they could clearly see that the sack was filled with various vegetables and grains.
There were tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and a lot of other things that couldn't be seen clearly underneath. They were bulging and the sacks were about to burst.
Now everyone was anxious and spoke out to stop it.
Shi Lei waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's so sunny, uncle, aunt, can we go in and talk?"
Lao Cao also laughed: "Just think of it as us asking for a glass of water."
He raised his voice and shouted to Cheng Ru inside: "Auntie, please make me a cup of your chrysanthemum tea. I have a sore throat again and my mouth is full of bubbles."
After hearing this, how could Cheng Ru not agree?
She responded and turned back to pour water to make tea. Shen Jianyi, who was blocking the door, couldn't say anything to stop them from entering.
He made way for it, but frowned, pointed at the bag, and said angrily: "Don't bring this in for me, we can't have it."
Old Master Gu also looked dissatisfied: "Xiao Shi, Xiao Cao, what are you doing? It's not easy for everyone to grow something, there's no need to do this."
Gu Kai also chimed in: "Putting up insect-proof nets is our job, there's no need for these."
Shi Lei knew that they had misunderstood and thought that this was in accordance with the previous regulations of the community, that even if neighbors helped each other in the courtyard, they had to be given a certain amount of compensation according to the regulations.
This rule was originally formulated because there were some ignorant elderly people who relied on their age to arbitrarily order all the laborers to help them with work.
Not only were they not given food, but whenever they were dissatisfied with the work or refused it, they would let the whole hospital know, saying that those people were bullying the elderly and looking down on them for their incompetence.
In order to prevent the relationship between neighbors from becoming tense because of this matter, the community directly formulated regulations on paying according to work.
Naturally, no one would say anything if people who have a good relationship with each other help each other, but if you ask for help from someone else, you have to follow the rules.
"Don't get me wrong, this was not given by anyone in our hospital, it was sent by someone else." Shi Lei explained quickly.
