After Mo Chen left, Shen Yao immediately put the matter out of her mind. He was a big boss, how could he stay here forever? Besides, he didn't even recognize her.
So, Shen Yao turned her attention back to Shen Huaijin.
After recuperating for this period, Shen Huaijin's health was much better than when he first returned, looking like he could collapse at any moment.
Thus, Shen Yao gave him the spiritual spring water that evening to cleanse his meridians and strengthen his bones.
Compared to others, Shen Huaijin suffered much more, enduring pain for an entire night. Especially around his kidneys, the throbbing made Shen Huaijin doubt if he could survive.
He could be said to be in the worst physical condition among the Shen family.
This was also what Shen Yao was most worried about, so she stayed by Shen Huaijin's side the whole night.
When he was nearing his limit, she would channel spiritual energy into him, preventing him from failing to withstand the baptism of the spiritual spring water.
However, the benefits were also visible. The next morning, Shen Huaijin felt as if he had been reborn, no longer feeling weak or tired.
"Yaoyao, second brother thanks you."
Shen Huaijin was truly grateful to Shen Yao; no one knew his physical condition better than he did.
"What is there to thank? You need to work hard and earn money now, and try to bring my sister-in-law back," Shen Yao said.
Her second brother was only a year younger than her eldest brother, who had been married for many years. Yet, her second brother refused to find a girlfriend no matter what.
Others said it was establishing a career before starting a family, but he was different. He insisted on establishing his career first before getting married, saying he didn't want a girl to suffer with him.
The family didn't rush him, believing everything should be according to his wishes. But not rushing didn't mean they didn't want him to settle down!
"Okay."
Shen Huaijin replied with a smile. He would do so even without his younger sister's prompting. Now he felt he had the confidence, and he was sure he could make her father agree to marry his daughter to him!
"Second brother, aren't you going to the hatchery later? Take me with you," Shen Yao said, looking at Shen Huaijin.
"Sure, it's not too far from here," Shen Huaijin did not refuse Shen Yao's request.
His thoughts differed from his family's. He knew pregnant women needed good rest, but it didn't mean they had to stay indoors and do nothing, not being allowed to do this or that.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yao jumped up happily and ran to tell Shen's mother.
Shen's mother was unhappy when she heard Shen Yao wanted to go out, but when she heard Shen Huaijin would be taking her, she reluctantly agreed.
"You can go, but you can't run around. Let your second brother accompany you, understand?" Shen's mother was very uneasy.
"I know, don't worry, I won't do anything to your grandson," Shen Yao quickly replied.
"No, you should bring Mo Xuan along."
Shen's mother called Mo Xuan out of his room.
Mo Xuan came out very quickly, looking at Shen's mother with a happy expression, "Grandma, why did you call me? Is there something for me to do?"
If not for this, why was Mo Xuan so eager? His head ached thinking about the incantations, and his mother really did as she said.
If he couldn't recite them, he would get a good beating. In just these two days, he felt like he had gained several pounds! (From being beaten, dog emoji.)
"Just in time, your mother is preparing to go out. I'm not at ease, so you follow and watch your mother, don't let her do anything dangerous, understand?"
Although Mo Xuan wasn't particularly reliable, she felt more at ease with him around. If she didn't have to help watch the little fatty, she would have gone with them herself.
When Mo Xuan heard he had to go out with Shen Yao, he was completely resistant. He didn't want to! He was afraid his mother would suddenly test him, and he hadn't memorized the incantations yet!
"Alright, let him follow," Shen Yao didn't protest to Shen's mother and calmly let Mo Xuan accompany them. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
With this simpleton Mo Xuan, as people in their hometown would say, you could tell what he was going to do by his posture!
Although Mo Xuan didn't want to go, he still followed along. He thought to himself, with his mother's physique, it wasn't certain who would get hurt if danger arose.
As soon as Shen Huaijin, Shen Yao, and Mo Xuan walked out of the Shen residence, they saw Xiao Jun and Luo Yunping. Luo Yunping was taking Xiao Jun to sunbathe at that moment.
Since returning to his senses, Xiao Jun's health had been improving day by day, and he was now completely fine. However, having lost his spirit for such a long time, Shen Yao still let him sunbathe for a few more days.
"Fairy sister, are you and Second Brother Shen going somewhere?" Xiao Jun's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Yao.
Shen Yao looked at Xiao Jun, who was smiling brightly, and said, "Yes, we're planning to go to the hatchery."
Shen Yao was quite fond of this young boy. He looked well-behaved and obedient, unlike her unruly son who only did foolish things all day.
"Hatchery? What kind of place is that?"
It wasn't Xiao Jun's fault for not knowing, as his family background wouldn't have exposed him to such things.
"It's a place where we hatch small animals, like chicks and ducklings," Shen Huaijin replied.
"Really? Can you take me? I've never seen it before!"
Xiao Jun was very interested in the newly hatched, fluffy chicks and ducklings. He had never seen them before, only seen them on TV or phones.
"We have important business there. What are you going for? To cause trouble?" Mo Xuan said, trying to dampen Xiao Jun's enthusiasm.
"I won't be a burden!" Xiao Jun retorted unconvincingly.
Mo Xuan looked at Xiao Jun with disdain, "Still saying you won't be a burden. With your frail body, can you even climb up there?"
That's right, the hatchery was located halfway up a mountain about 20 kilometers away from their county.
As for why it was built there?
Because hatcheries are particularly susceptible to pollution. Even a tiny bit of bacteria or virus could lead to a decrease in hatching rates, and potentially cause mass illnesses among chicks and the like.
There were almost no outsiders on the mountain, making it the most suitable location for a hatchery.
To minimize the entry of bacteria and viruses, all external vehicles were prohibited from driving directly in. People entering also had to undergo comprehensive disinfection and wear protective clothing.
"I can!" Xiao Jun refused to give in. It was just climbing a mountain, wasn't it? He used to be the first in running during physical education classes!
"Give up. It's better for you to stay home and play with mud, where you're more comfortable," Mo Xuan said without any politeness, not knowing what tact was.
Shen Yao: Is it too late to smack this clueless idiot to death right now?
"Xiao Jun, don't listen to him. If you want to go, just come along. What he says doesn't count," Shen Yao quickly said, then shot Mo Xuan a glare.
Mo Xuan felt wronged. He was just telling the truth. With that sickly little thing, he would probably need to be carried after just a few steps!
"That's great, then I'm going too! I haven't seen newly hatched little animals before!"
Xiao Jun, having received Shen Yao's approval, happily circled around Shen Yao.
And so, the group of three turned into a group of five. Fortunately, their car was large enough, so fitting five people didn't feel crowded.
