Protagonist:
Shen Yao
Little Wei Chengyan was very special, different from other children from birth.
It wasn't just the matter of his hair color, but also his uncontrollable absolute power; when it occasionally flared up, even his own father couldn't suppress him.
However, ever since little Wei Chengyan became sensible, this child had learned to be smart; whatever he did, he would ask his parents repeatedly and only act after receiving permission, and if his parents disagreed, he definitely wouldn't do it.
"This child is quite smart," not the kind of child who needs lecturing.
Shen Yao turned her head and leaned against Wei Mingyu's side, her belly protruding once again.
It had been less than three years since she gave birth to Wei Chengyan; the situation in Rimu City had improved greatly, and the minerals discovered earlier were used in all aspects, bringing many good experiences to the masses.
Well, Shen Yao, as a technician at the Planting Garden, experienced the benefits of the minerals firsthand; any experimental plants she planted would yield a harvest.
"Kindergarten starts in a couple of days; Chengyan goes to school, and your side..." Wei Mingyu worried that his wife was pregnant and he couldn't stay by her side, a dereliction of duty as a husband.
"I'm fine on my side; there are Mom and Dad and Minzhi, and everything will be arranged properly."
Shen Yao gestured for Wei Mingyu not to be so nervous; Rimu City was no longer what it used to be, and some things could be appropriately spoken of.
Wei Mingyu sighed, "But this time you're carrying twins; the hospital has established a file, and you absolutely must not refuse to go recuperate just because you don't want trouble."
The children born were special enough that it was destined Shen Yao would receive excessive attention from the authorities.
Wei Chengyan could already understand speech, and besides, the authorities had no ill intentions, and the fertility potions made from related minerals were constantly being promoted; in recent years, Rimu City's infant birth rate had continued to rise, and the gazes falling on Shen Yao had disappeared quite a bit, but Wei Mingyu still found it very hard to rest assured.
Perhaps this is what loving deeply means—one worries too much.
"This time I'll come back as soon as possible and won't let you face so many risks alone."
Wei Mingyu lowered his head and kissed Shen Yao's forehead, reaching out to hold Shen Yao tightly in his arms.
Shen Yao leaned against Wei Mingyu's shoulder without struggling, her body unconsciously relaxing.
Enjoyable beautiful times always pass by quickly.
Wei Mingyu going out on a mission wouldn't change because Shen Yao was pregnant.
Fortunately, Shen Yao's status was no longer what it used to be; others who wanted to bully her had to weigh things carefully, especially since Shen Yao had a special child under her knees.
Waving goodbye to Wei Mingyu, little Wei Chengyan held Shen Yao's hand, skipping and jumping along the road, extremely happy.
Shen Yao:...
Shen Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "So happy?" Is it because Dad left or because you're going to school?
"Mom, let's go to Grandma's house," Wei Chengyan's eyes sparkled brightly, as if they could glow.
Wei's mother treated Wei Chengyan extremely well; basically, anything good would be sent into Wei Chengyan's little belly, including Wei's father and Wei Minzhi, who spoiled Wei Chengyan without any bottom line.
If it weren't for Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu's firm attitude and daily education and guidance for Wei Chengyan, this child might have become lawless at such a young age.
"Okay, Mom will take you there and pick you up to go home after work in the evening."
Shen Yao still had work to do, but Wei's father and Wei's mother had more free time; nowadays, work in Rimu City was done by young people, and the elderly had basically retired at home.
After hearing this, Wei Chengyan cheered, pointing at the off-road vehicle ahead to signal his birth mother to hurry; he couldn't wait.
Shen Yao was helpless; this child truly had a talent for coming up with one thing after another.
"Get in the car, let's go quickly" quickly back; work matters couldn't be delayed, even though Shen Yao was already a veteran employee at the Planting Garden.
The tall and handsome off-road vehicle drove away with a boom, leaving only a long string of car exhaust.
Nowadays, the cars that could still be driven within Rimu City had all undergone various modifications, including the energy used for driving, which was not gasoline or diesel but a kind of biological oil related to minerals, capable of decomposing safely, efficiently, and without pollution.
It was said this kind of fuel had already begun to be laid out for households to replace natural gas and other energy sources.
It was just that the current laying progress was too slow, and every now and then a natural disaster would occur; to complete the transformation entirely, one would have to wait until after the year at the earliest.
It was only May now, with seven months left until the New Year; what a long wait.
The off-road vehicle drove along the avenue; soon, the car turned a corner and entered the interior of an ordinary residential community.
After parking the car, Shen Yao got out holding her pregnant belly, and also told Wei Chengyan to go slowly; children had abundant energy, and before she was pregnant it was fine, but now Shen Yao couldn't keep up with him.
Wei Chengyan nodded with "mm-hmm" sounds, reached out to take Shen Yao's hand, his round little head shaking left and right, as if promising he wouldn't leave his birth mother behind.
"I've already told Grandma; remember, don't make Grandpa and Grandma angry."
The elderly were old; the previously rebellious Wei Minzhi had finally become sensible with difficulty, and Wei Chengyan couldn't follow in his aunt's footsteps and carry this kind of thing forward.
Wei Chengyan nodded, his little expression especially firm, looking like he wanted Mom to believe him that he wouldn't cause trouble.
Shen Yao:... Fine, I still need to give my own child more trust, even though he's not old.
Mother and child walked and talked all the way until they arrived at their destination for this trip.
Dong dong—dong dong dong——
Wei's mother opened the door and smiled like a flower at the mother and child coming over.
"You're here, come in quickly, come in quickly," Wei's mother greeted, turning to call Wei's father not far away, and took out the fruits prepared in the refrigerator.
"They're all bought from the supermarket, all things you love to eat."
When not busy, Wei's mother liked to run around everywhere near Rimu City, and if she found something suitable, she would spend money and points to buy it back.
The livelihood in Rimu City had been stable these past few years, especially regarding daily eating and drinking; there basically didn't exist people who starved to death or died of poverty.
And it was easy for rich people to live well; Wei's mother and Wei's father's pensions weren't low, plus Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu occasionally gave living expenses, and this wealthy money was basically all spent on everyone.
Wei Chengyan's expression sparkled brightly; he called Wei's mother and Wei's father sweet Grandpa and Grandma, ran over with his short legs "deng deng deng," and when he picked up fruit, he always fed it to the several adults at home first before attending to himself.
Thanks to being well-educated, Wei Chengyan wasn't that kind of unreasonable bear child; even if he was usually infuriating enough and even caused trouble because of his boundless strength, Wei Chengyan was still Shen Yao and others' treasure in their hearts.
Well, Wei Chengyan, who had just sat down to eat fruit, immediately attracted Wei's father and Wei's mother's gazes.
After helping Shen Yao sit down properly, Wei's father and Wei's mother called the obedient Wei Chengyan "my heart and liver treasure" one by one, and while at it, didn't forget to take out all their snacks.
Shen Yao:...
Shen Yao had advised her before, but to no avail, and besides, Wei Chengyan had a special constitution; eating some junk food did not affect his health at all.
Fine, fine, eat if you want; she wasn't a stingy mother.
Not stingy but rather generous, Mother Shen Yao watched little Wei Chengyan thrive like a fish in water, then proposed leaving.
"Mom, I'm entrusting Chengyan to you; I'll come pick him up tonight."
Shen Yao stood up, holding her belly; her pregnant belly, not yet four months along, looked noticeably swollen—this was a sign of twins.
Wei's mother patted Shen Yao's wrist, "No rush, it doesn't matter even if you don't come to pick him up; Wei Chengyan isn't unfamiliar with staying here."
Thinking of her son going on missions while leaving his pregnant daughter-in-law and grandson behind, Wei's mother simply invited Shen Yao to move back home; she had nothing to do on a daily basis and could take care of them.
Shen Yao refused; even with relatives, one couldn't give without limit—each needed their own private space.
After exchanging a few more words with Wei Chengyan, Shen Yao drove off, heading straight to the Planting Garden.
Nowadays the Planting Garden's area had grown larger; under the authorities' constant reinforcement offensives, the number of personnel originally working inside had doubled.
Shen Yao was an old employee; not only was she outstanding in ability, she also didn't cause trouble on a daily basis.
Over these years of living, no matter who came or went, who rose or fell, none of it affected Shen Yao's place.
It was precisely this attitude of Shen Yao's that kept the management from targeting her too much; occasionally, the management would even stop others from laying hands on Shen Yao.
"Shen Technician"
"Wu Team Leader"
Wu Yong was still the Planting Garden's Group Leader; only, in recent years his progress had been obvious, successfully transforming him from a small group leader responsible for just one floor into a group leader responsible for the first through third floors.
Zheng Cheng also stayed at the Planting Garden, even marrying a management daughter; in terms of position, he and Wu Yong chased each other, forming a kind of virtuous cycle.
But their grudges and affections couldn't affect Shen Yao; Shen Yao didn't pay much attention to it.
If it weren't for Wu Yong being their side's group leader, he probably would have tossed the person to the back of his mind.
Nodding at each other, Shen Yao turned around and returned to the Experimental Field.
Pregnant, she had to be careful even doing experiments; Shen Yao put on a protective suit and, by the way, checked the plants in the Experimental Field once.
Fortunately, the plants were growing well; even because there was too much mineral powder, the soil contained more energy, making the experimental plants' traits more stable.
"Not bad; following this line of thought, in a few more years, Rimu City will be able to live normal days," just like before the natural disaster arrived.
Shen Yao touched here and there; the system jumped out to chat with Shen Yao.
"Host, our mission is more than half done; I believe it won't be long before it's perfectly completed."
Natural disasters were terrifying, but the sense of security hiding in the great rear area wasn't something everyone could experience. The host had planned very well from the start; looking at the situation around Rimu City, the system once again admired the host's keenness.
"Yeah, but will the appearing minerals cause this planet to enter a new era?"
Shen Yao associated with the wonders of the minerals, feeling these were very much like evolution.
Similar to Spiritual Qi Revival? But there was still some realistic gap compared to Spiritual Qi Revival.
"Slowly influence, slowly permeate; by the day change arrives, the host will long be gone."
The system said this in a relaxed and carefree manner, not caring at all whether the host would be sad after hearing it.
As a missioner, hanging life and death on one's lips seemed like nothing; accompanying the arrival of this opportunity, the missioner's human emotions grew increasingly indifferent.
"Yeah, so I only hope my descendants can bring honor," to witness for her the ending she couldn't wait for, just like the previous few worlds.
There wasn't much to do at the Planting Garden; or rather, for Shen Yao, the work was very easy.
After finishing work and getting off, Shen Yao took a detour to Wei's father and Wei's mother's place to pick up Wei Chengyan, and by the way promised Wei Chengyan she would continue sending him over tomorrow.
The child chattered all the way home; once home, his energy was completely drained, lying on the sofa sleeping soundly.
Shen Yao carried the child back to the room bed to rest, not forgetting to take out bedding to cover him.
She hadn't cooked; instead, she simply took out previously stored meals from her space and ate heartily.
Of course, little Wei Chengyan couldn't go hungry; seeing it was about time to wake him up, she fed him some food and water, and mother and child lay down together and fell asleep.
Wei Mingyu wasn't home; the life of mother and child was instead more carefree.
Especially after Wei Chengyan started school, Shen Yao was even more relaxed and at ease; basically nothing existed to trouble her.
During this period, outside there were two more sudden downpours, interspersed with hail and storms; fortunately, Rimu City had prepared early, and the reinforced high-rise buildings withstood the wild bombardment.
But after the natural disaster, Rimu City was quiet for a period of time.
The kindergarten Wei Chengyan attended chose to close for rest; mother and child officially moved to Wei's father and Wei's mother's residence, the family living together.
"Sister-in-law, you should have come earlier;" after leaving Zheng Cheng, Wei Minzhi was much more normal, and at the Animal Husbandry Garden she was much more down-to-earth.
Wei's father and Wei's mother felt this was a blessing in disguise, a willow dark, flower bright, another village.
"How's home?" Shen Yao touched her belly, smiling as she changed the topic.
"Everything's good; Mom and Dad are all looking forward to your coming," she also looked forward to it, playing with the little ones, which made Wei Minzhi feel happiest.
After all, she was still hurt by Zheng Cheng's matter; nowadays Wei Minzhi was very resistant to young men, and only family relatives and the little bean sprout Wei Chengyan could let her relax.
But this also made Wei's father and Wei's mother very worried; going from one extreme to another was itself abnormal.
Fortunately, at this time, finding or not finding a partner was both a good thing; moreover, Wei Minzhi was still young and not in a hurry about this.
Handing the supplies brought from home to Wei Minzhi to handle, Shen Yao first went to the room to rest a bit, until Wei Chengyan shouted loudly for someone.
Shen Yao:... this child, his energy was truly abundant.
"Where are Mom and Dad?" Wei's father and Wei's mother weren't home; only Wei Minzhi, who was on leave, was there.
"They went to the supermarket, saying there were fruits and vegetables for sale today," wanting to buy some back.
Wei Minzhi stood in the kitchen, holding the supplies Shen Yao had brought back, patiently cleaning them bit by bit to store in the refrigerator.
The inside of the refrigerator was full of various supplies bought back; there was food and drink, and even several fragrant chickens, ducks, and geese that just needed heating to eat.
"When are Mom and Dad coming back?" Shen Yao went over to help; the main labor force still relied on Wei Minzhi herself, Shen Yao was just making up the numbers.
Wei Minzhi looked up at the room, "It'll take an hour at most, I'll be back within an hour," Outside was not absolutely safe; Wei's father and Wei's mother went out for two hours every day and would surely return on time.
Shen Yao made an "oh" sound upon hearing this, her words mentioning Wei Mingyu who was still on a mission. The time of his return was still uncertain, and he would occasionally send a message via satellite phone.
