Chapter 211: Shen Fengzi

Jiang Cheng:...

His brain spun at high speed, coming up with several answers in an instant.

Should he say that bad seed Jiang Yu gave it to him?

But that would inevitably make Rongrong think this uncle was a nuisance.

Say he didn't know?

But it was obvious that his expression just now had already made his clever wife realize that this thing definitely had something to do with him.

Pretend to have amnesia?

Just say he accidentally bumped his head during training today?

But he hadn't gone to training at all today.

In the end, Jiang Cheng decided to honestly bear it all.

"Wife, I'm too weak."

Si Rong:...

Weak after nearly an hour? Thinking of the three hours written on that thing, she felt herself blushing all over.

"Then, then let's put it away first."

"Wife," Jiang Cheng felt a surge of joy, "did you forgive me? Are you willing to use..."

The husband and wife talked late into the night, until even the moon outside the window was almost blushing.

In the end, Jiang Cheng only got one sentence.

Wait a little longer.

It was indeed better to wait a little longer; with the family all here, they were, after all, still reserved people.

Hu Qian still found out about Jiang Aiguo and Li Ayi square dancing.

Jiang Aiguo tried to coax his wife for several days with a humble attitude, but he couldn't make her feel better.

Finally, he asked his wife to return to Huaiyang with him after the New Year to prove his innocence.

Originally, Jiang Aiguo thought that if he said this, his wife would believe him.

But he didn't expect that Hu Qian would immediately say she missed home and wanted to go back with him.

Uh:...

The good days of Old Man Jiang playing chess, fishing, and square dancing were gone forever.

By the spring of the second year, the living facilities on Haidao had gradually improved; running water was connected, and every household was equipped with a television and a refrigerator.

Life became much more convenient.

Si Rong also gradually adapted to life on Haidao; every day, besides working and taking care of the two children, she learned to cook porridge and make a few simple home-cooked meals.

As for Shen Qingyu, ever since Shen Lan lost his composure at her house on the night of the Little New Year, she began spreading rumors in the Junshuyuan about Si Rong and Shen Lan.

She thought it would cause trouble for Si Rong, but she didn't expect that rumors of Shen Lan having a mental illness would follow closely behind.

People often saw him talking to himself, sometimes appearing as if he were raving mad.

Soon, he made a mistake at work and was transferred to the Cooking Battalion to feed the pigs.

This job further stimulated Shen Lan, reminding him of the time in his past life when he was sorting rotten eggs.

At that time, he had just lost Si Rong, the love of his life.

Could it be that even after his Rebirth, he would end up with such a tragic conclusion?

While feeding the pigs, he still saw Si Rong, and sometimes he could see himself too.

When two pigs snuggled together, he would fantasize that it was him and Si Rong.

One day, the squad leader of the Kitchen Squad saw that Shen Lan hadn't come to work and searched everywhere for him, finally discovering Shen Lan sleeping with the pigs in the pigsty.

He was hugging the pig's waist, with a pig's trotter resting on his neck, the two of them looking like a pair of pig spouses.

Squad leader:...

From then on, the military brought in a military doctor to diagnose Shen Lan with schizophrenia.

It was said that the military doctor was requested by Shen Lan's second son, Shen Gui, who had applied to the leadership.

Given Shen Lan's condition, the organization specifically arranged for someone to look after Shen Lan's three sons.

The cafeteria provided a fixed quota of meals every day.

That Chief of Staff Shen, once a perfectly fine man, had turned into this, leaving the military families on the island sighing endlessly.

Shen Qingyu's mother-in-law believed that all of this was Shen Lan's own fault.

If Shen Lan had been willing to listen to her and marry Xiao Fang from the fishing village back then, he definitely wouldn't have ended up like this.

Perhaps he became like this because he was obsessed with women.

The winds of change blew over Haidao, and soon six years passed.

When new soldiers arrived on Haidao and ate in the cafeteria, they would see a disheveled man standing in the corner, muttering to himself.

As time went on, everyone knew that this man was the "Shen Fengzi" of the island.

He wouldn't hit or hurt anyone; he was just mentally unstable, occasionally stopping in his tracks to stare at something, or laughing or crying.

The only two words people could clearly hear from his mouth were "wife."

Mischievous children would sometimes use sticks or stones to chase Shen Fengzi, and at these times, Shen Shu would rush out.

"Don't you dare bully him!"

Although his second brother said that this man was very likely no longer their father, he stubbornly protected Shen Fengzi.

Because this person's face was Dad's.

The children scattered one after another.

Someone shouted, "Jiang Sinian, let's play hide-and-seek in a while!"

The young boy turned his head; his profile was still three-dimensional and handsome, like a boy who had walked out of a manga.

"Sure!" The boy raised an eyebrow, his every gesture filled with unrestrained arrogance.

After the child hid, Jiang Sinian counted to ten, then waited quietly for a moment, "You're hidden, I'm starting to look now!"

After saying that, he went straight home to eat.

Playing with an idiot didn't delay anything at all; by the time he finished eating and came out, this idiot would surely still be hiding there, feeling smug.

However, going back to eat had a problem too.

Today was the weekend, and he had to go to school tomorrow; his mother had given a strict order, saying he had to finish his homework before coming out to play, otherwise she would beat him.

His homework wasn't finished yet.

What should he do?

Jiang Sinian turned his head and saw a Tie Niu on a paper mulberry tree nearby.

Mom was afraid of this kind of bug.

He had an idea.

……

"Jiang Sinian! Have you finished your homework? And you're already going out to play!" Si Rong sat under the flower trellis in the courtyard and asked in a cold voice.

She was already forty-six years old this year.

Time seemed to treat her with special favor; the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and brows were very gentle, as if they had climbed onto her face with great care.

"Mom, I've finished all my homework; if you don't believe me, check it!"

Jiang Sinian ran into his room and brought his schoolbag to Si Rong.

Si Rong took his schoolbag with some suspicion; why was her son, who was like a little devil, so well-behaved today?

Could it be that he had grown up and become sensible?

Just as she opened the schoolbag, she suddenly locked eyes with a black Tie Niu inside, its antennae moving up and down.

Si Rong was instantly scared out of her wits, threw the schoolbag onto the ground, and ran out of the courtyard.

Jiang Sinian: ……

He squatted down to pick up the bug and tugged at its antennae with some annoyance, "What should we do? Mom seems to have been scared too badly by us; I guess I'm going to get a beating again in a moment."

Not from his mom.

His stomach began to growl, so Jiang Sinian decided to eat his fill first; after getting beaten later, he would at least have the strength to cry.

His timing was calculated just right; Jiang Sinian had just finished the dinner left for him in the kitchen when his mother walked in, arm-in-arm with his father.

"Jiang Sinian! You used a bug to scare your mom again?"

Jiang Cheng reached out and took a ruler (specially prepared for his rebellious son) from the wall, "Give me your hand!"

"Ah! Dad, I know I was wrong!"

"Wuwuwu, Aunt Fang! Uncle Jiang! Help!"

"Mom, I'm sorry."

Apologizing this time, but daring to do it again next time.

At the very least, no one remembered to check his Sunday homework right now.
