Chapter 846: Comparing Sister and Brother, the Gap is Too Obvious

The gift Shi Ran gave to her mother was a bright red wool shawl.

Shi Youxuan has fair skin, so she looks very good wearing the red shawl.

Her mother knows her goods well; she took it and exclaimed, "Oh my, this isn't cheap!"

It was indeed not cheap, as it used up a full half of Shi Ran's bonus.

Shi Ran feigned annoyance: "Can you not just have money in your eyes? Just tell me if you like it or not?"

"I like it, thank you my good daughter. I especially like any gift you give me." Shi Youxuan put it away with great solemnity.

Whether it is a gift from her husband or her children, she is always like this.

Whether she truly likes it or not is not important; what is important is that a gift from one's closest kin must have had a lot of thought put into it, and one cannot let one's family feel disheartened.

People are often polite to strangers while ignoring the feelings of their loved ones; Shi Youxuan does this very well.

The gift Shi Ran gave to her father was a high-end fountain pen.

Sheng Hanyu was equally solemn; he tucked the fountain pen into his suit pocket and told his daughter that from now on, he would use the one she gave him to sign important documents!

The gift for her grandfather was a wolf-hair calligraphy brush.

The gift for her grandmother was a waist warmer, and the one given to her younger brother was a book—Good Child Development Plan!

"Hmph, Sister is biased."

The little guy was very unhappy and protested: "You put thought into the gifts you gave them, but you didn't put any into mine. I don't like this book, change it for another one."

"It cannot be changed, you should take a good look at it."

"I won't!"

"Are you going to look at it or not? Do you believe I'll hit you?"

Shi Ran raised her hand high, threatening her younger brother.

Sheng Zichen let out a "Wah!" and started crying, crying quite miserably.

"Sister is hitting people, there's no justice left! She just got home and is already hitting her brother, a bad sister is not a good sister..."

This scene plays out in a loop at home.

The family members are all used to it.

Seeing that no one paid attention to his complaints, Sheng Zichen stopped after crying for a bit.

"Ranran is truly amazing." Wang Yinghao placed the golden trophy into the display cabinet with great solemnity, then slowly admired it.

The large wall cabinet was filled with trophies and certificates of merit.

Half of them were honors Sheng Hanyu received when he was in school, and the other half were Shi Ran's!

Shi Ran is still young, only twelve years old this year, yet the number of her trophies is already about the same as her father's; given time, what will she achieve?

Her father said: "Look at your sister, then look at yourself."

Wang Yinghao also said to her grandson: "Zichen, don't pout and be unhappy. What your father said isn't entirely without reason; you really should learn from your sister."

For the past two days, the relationship between father and son has been like fire and water.

Sheng Hanyu scolds his son whenever he sees him.

Sheng Zichen runs whenever he sees his father, and if he can't run away, he cries!

The house is in chaos every day, with no peace to be found.

"Grandma is biased, I don't like you anymore."

Sheng Zichen stuck out his tongue to make a face, then ran off.

Shi Ran asked: "Grandma, while I wasn't home, what happened with Zichen again?"

So Wang Yinghao recounted the things that had happened at home over the past few days to her granddaughter.

Shi Ran stood on her father's side: "Father is right. Younger brother shouldn't be running to the kitchen for no reason. Cooking can be a hobby, but he cannot make a career out of it in the future."

"Although all professions are equal, Zichen shouldn't be confined to the kitchen; it's better to let him go there less."

On this issue, the whole family, except for Shi Youxuan, is in complete agreement.

It is just that Sheng Hanyu discovered the problem early and intervened early, while others discovered it a bit later.

Wang Yinghao gave a bitter smile: "Ranran, you have many ideas, help us think of a way."

Shi Ran tilted her head, thought for a while, and then said: "Grandma, this time when I went to A Country, Great-Grandmother hoped that you all would allow Zichen to go over and live there for a long time."

"Live there for a long time? How long?"

Although A Country is not very economically developed, it is indeed the cultural center of the world.

Its cultural heritage is particularly deep, and scientists and mathematicians are everywhere.

Wang Yinghao hesitated.

She wanted to agree, but she couldn't bear to part with him.

If her grandson could grow up in A Country, he would naturally stay away from the kitchen, and it would be great if he were nurtured into a cultural scholar.

But she couldn't bear for her grandson to go live there for a long time; Zichen had been cared for by her since the day he was born, and he had never been away from her for more than a day.

Shi Ran: "Great-Grandmother and Great-Grandfather's intention is to let younger brother attend school over there, and they will teach and raise him personally. Before he starts school, he will come back once a month, and after he starts school, he will only be able to come back during winter and summer breaks."

Wang Yinghao: "I can't make the decision on such a big matter; it requires your father and mother's consent."

The whole family sat together to hold a meeting.

They mainly discussed the issue of whether Sheng Zichen should go to A Country.

The old couple were both hesitant and had no idea what to do.

Letting Sheng Zichen go to A Country would certainly help his future.

But then they wouldn't be able to see their grandson often, and they would certainly miss him very much.

Sheng Hanyu agreed.

This was different from when Jin Laoyezi wanted Shi Ran to go to A Country; at that time, he did not agree, because his daughter could have a very good development in Jiangzhou, so there was no need to go to A Country.

But it was very likely that his son would stay in Jiangzhou, and in the future, he would have to put his efforts into being a chef.

It would be better to go out; perhaps he would forget about cooking while abroad.

Beyond everyone's expectations, Shi Youxuan also agreed to let the child go to A Country.

"Fine, go out and get some training; the way boys and girls are educated should not be the same."

Everyone agreed, and it was useless for Sheng Zichen to cry and whine alone; he was still sent away.

……

Shi Youxuan was about to give birth.

She had stomach pains in the middle of the night, and after a flurry of chaos, she was sent to the hospital.

Shi Youxuan was in the delivery room giving birth, while Sheng Hanyu was outside, anxious like an ant on a hot pan, covered in sweat.

Sheng Zerong teased him: "Big brother, is it necessary? I've never seen you this nervous over contracts worth hundreds of billions."

Sheng Hanyu: "Nonsense, no amount of money can compare to my wife giving birth."

This was her third pregnancy; although it was twins, it took almost no effort, and she was sent into the delivery room in the first half of the night and gave birth at dawn.

Both mother and children were safe.

The two children cried loudly; the older one weighed four jin and eight liang, and the younger one weighed four jin and two liang.

The twins were sent to the Hospital Ward for newborns immediately after birth, where they would have to stay for a period of time until they reached a normal weight before they could return to their mother's side.

Only when Sheng Hanyu heard that the mother and children were safe did his heart finally settle back into his chest.

Wang Yinghao came back from seeing the children, smiling so wide she couldn't close her mouth: "These two little ones look exactly like Zichen did when he was little."

Her husband worried: "Looking the same is fine, but I hope their hobbies aren't the same."

Wang Yinghao spat at him: "Pah! Who does Zichen look like? Isn't he exactly like your son, and his hobbies didn't end up the same."

Sheng Jiang was relieved now, but then suddenly remembered: "What are the two children's names?"

"I don't know."

The two went to ask the young couple, and then the four of them looked at each other in dismay—it was obvious that no one had picked out names!

They forgot.

They actually forgot such an important matter!

The more children they have, the less importance they place on it.

Back when the two of them first got together, they had already thought of names for their future children before she was even pregnant, it was just that Shi Ran didn't end up using them.
