After Qin Yubai left, Jian Zhizhen went back to sleep.
I slept until noon.
Her parents thought she was tired from recording the show, which is why she went to bed so late, so they didn't wake her up.
Jian Zhizhen went out of the room, just in time for lunch.
Not long after she sat down, her parents piled a small mountain of vegetables into her bowl.
"Eat more, look how thin you are. I remember when I left, your face was so chubby, how come your chin is so pointy now?"
"Try this one, then try this one, and this one too... Dad's cooking skills haven't gotten worse, have they? Isn't it still as delicious as before?"
As Jian Zhizhen ate her food, her eyes slowly welled up with tears.
These are all foods she has loved since she was a child, and her brother has the same tastes as her.
She immediately messaged Lin Yi, inviting him to come over as a guest.
Mom and Dad are back, and my brother has to come back too, for the family to be truly reunited.
While they were eating, Jian Ji suddenly reminded Jian Zhizhen that there was new information.
Jian Zhizhen glanced at it subconsciously; it was posted in the class group chat:
"Dear students, our school is organizing a public service activity during the summer vacation. We encourage students who are staying in Beicheng to sign up and participate. Participants will receive 5 moral character credits in the final exam next semester. Interested students, please gather at the school basketball court at 3 pm today to receive your assignment."
Just as Jian Zhizhen finished reading the message, her mother said, "Zhenzhen, your father and I are starting a new project, and we've also made plans with the students from Yancun. We're going back to Yanshan this afternoon for a meeting. Why don't you come back to Yanshan with us?"
Jian Zhizhen looked away from the message and at her parents, her eyes showing some difficulty.
Even though Jianci had been separated from her daughter for many years, she still knew her daughter well and could see her struggle at a glance, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Jian Zhizhen hesitated before saying, "The school asked us to do community service during the summer vacation..."
Zhenman smiled and made the decision for her: "It's only right to be enthusiastic about public welfare. Now that you're a minor celebrity, doing public welfare can set an example. Go ahead."
Jian Zhizhen pulled a chair next to her mother, rested her head on her mother's arm, and pouted like she did when she was a child: "But I can't bear to leave you."
Zhenman rubbed her head: "Silly child, as long as the granary plan doesn't go wrong, your parents won't leave again. We'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future. Besides, your father and I are going back to Yan Village now and will be in meetings for several days. We won't have time to spend with you. If you come with us, you'll just be waiting for us at home."
Jianci nodded silently.
Although he was also reluctant to part with his daughter, he still encouraged her, saying, "We should definitely participate in charity events. Our family has been nurtured by the country and society, and now that we have the ability, we should give back to society as much as we can. Director Lin Yi has just returned and must have a lot of work to handle. After you finish your charity event and he finishes his work, you can take him back to Yan Village."
Zhenman smiled and replied, "Let's arrange it this way. I'll make chestnut pastries, which are Ah Chun's favorite when he was little. If that Director Lin is really Ah Chun, maybe he'll remember something."
Hearing her parents say this, Jian Zhizhen nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go to school this afternoon to sign up for the charity event."
Zhenman looked at Jianci; the couple's eyes held a mixture of relief and bitterness.
Having been separated from their children for so many years, they are the ones most eager for the family to reunite.
But there are still many researchers waiting for them to return to Yan Village.
Other people's time is also valuable; you can't delay their time just because you want to reunite with your family.
So I have to be separated from my daughter for a few more days.
...
In the afternoon, after seeing her parents off, Chien Chih-chen went to school to meet up with the charity group.
On the way there, thinking that there would be no one to cook at home when she got back tonight, she sent Qin Yubai a message: "My parents went back to the village. I'm going to the school to do some volunteer work. I'll come to your house for dinner tonight."
Qin Yubai replied instantly: "Okay."
Upon arriving at school, Jian Zhizhen rushed to the basketball court to meet up with the charity group.
The school's summer vacation charity work is divided into several parts:
Respecting the elderly: Visit nursing homes to accompany the elderly, teach them some exercises and mental games suitable for the elderly, and the activity lasts for two weeks.
Love the Young: Spend time with children at summer camps, using engaging and fun programs to introduce them to science. The activity lasts for a week.
Environmental protection: Picking up trash on the beach and educating tourists about marine life for a month.
Chien Chih-chen chose the shortest activity for children.
After the group division, the senior students called the Love for Children group aside and gave a brief introduction to the summer camp they were going to.
And let everyone brainstorm and come up with some programs that can be both educational and entertaining.
As Jian Zhizhen was pondering, a boy walked towards her and greeted her, "Hello, Senior Jian. I've been watching 'The Romance of the Myriad Realms,' it's the live stream where the ID is Wan Shenghai. I wonder if you remember me?"
Jian Zhizhen looked up and saw that the boy had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a bright smile. He looked full of energy and had the temperament of a junior student who had just entered school.
Jian Zhizhen smiled and nodded: "Oh, it's you. I remember you."
Hmph, that left a very deep impression!
Every time Qin Yubai and she had any intimate contact, he would send a message saying, "Qin Yubai, don't bully Zhenzhen! How awful!"
He was still an unmissable high-class gold V, and Jian Zhizhen couldn't help but notice him.
Wan Shenghai scratched his head, a little shyly: "That's great! I really didn't expect you to notice me too. What a coincidence that we chose the same group this time..."
The boy paused for a moment, then suddenly pulled a script out of his bag and handed it to Jian Zhizhen. "I wrote a script and I want to perform it with you for the children."
