The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 642 Extra: Luo Jun's Story (Part Two)

Luo Jun's reincarnation has captured everyone's attention.

Although no one went to the hospital to confirm whether Zhang Shumei's grandson was indeed Luo Jun in his second life, everyone firmly believed it. Regardless of whether it was true or not, just believe it for now; the fact that Luo Jun was reincarnated as Zhang Shumei's grandson is simply too believable.

And it's very beneficial for Luo Jun.

Zhang Shumei, a recognized top-notch caregiver in Yunzhong Community, is not only highly skilled in caring for elderly people living alone, but also a good cook. Of course, her cooking skills are not as good as those of a restaurant chef, but as a live-in caregiver, Zhang Shumei adjusts the flavor and variety of her home-cooked meals according to her employer's preferences. After so many years of working together, Zhang Shumei knows Luo Jun's tastes very well.

Luo Jun is actually quite picky.

If Luo Jun had been born into another family, he would most likely have been beaten by his parents as a child for being overly picky about food, having a sour face, speaking rudely, and being impolite.

However, he was reborn into Zhang Shumei's family.

He's Zhang Shumei's grandson now, how could he not eat his grandma's cooking?
Thinking about it this way, Luo Jun was quite lucky to be born into the right family.

Thus, even though it hasn't been officially confirmed, everyone is already certain in their hearts that Zhang Shumei's grandson must be Luo Jun. Even Gong Liang and Chen Gong have made a special trip to Shanshi to visit Zhang Shumei's house and see Luo Jun, who can't even speak yet.

Since Qin Huai had fabricated a reason for the neighborhood committee to visit and offer condolences, and since everyone was visiting to see the newborn, they naturally had to buy something.

Qu Jing was very thoughtful, preparing a baby bottle and a high chair. The high chair was white, and in Qu Jing's words, if Luo Jun had to eat in a high chair, he would most likely prefer a white one.

Both Gong Liang and Shi Dadan had raised children themselves; the former prepared a stroller, while the latter prepared toys. Moreover, the toys Shi Dadan prepared were all old-fashioned. Only after Qin Huai inquired did Shi Dadan reveal that those toys were things Qin Huai had liked to play with as a child. From this, Shi Dadan deduced that Luo Jun would likely like them too.

Qin Huai responded to this by saying: ...

Qin Huai thought that once Luo Jun could speak, the first thing he would say would most likely not be "Chen Huihong, are you sick?" but rather "Dang Kang, do you want to die?"

Chen Huihong prepared two boxes of diapers. In her words, these were extra diapers she had stocked up on during a previous group purchase. Luckily, she remembered them, because these two boxes of diapers would expire in 10 months.

No one asked Chen Huihong why she stocked up on two boxes of diapers during a group purchase. It's possible for Chen Huihong to buy anything during a group purchase.

Zhao Cheng'an really wanted to join in the fun, but he couldn't get leave (he had asked for leave too many times). Moreover, Zhao Cheng'an was the only one among all the spirits who was genuinely afraid of Luo Jun, fearing that he would see Bi Fang's appearance as an infant and be silenced by Bi Fang many years later. He could only regretfully miss the opportunity and asked Qin Huai to bring him a box of milk powder as a token of his appreciation.

Adhering to a pragmatic principle, Wang Gensheng bought a blue baby stroller.

An Youyou, unusually, spent a large sum of money to buy a set of brand-name baby bowls and a box of donkey-hide gelatin, and hopes that Luo Jun will be able to eat free premium fruit again when he grows up.

As for Qin Huai, of course, she prepared a lot of snacks that Luo Jun couldn't possibly eat, but which the new mother and her family could eat.

Qin Huai and others visited Luo Jun on the 10th day after his birth.

Zhang Shumei's daughter-in-law, Wang Yan, had a cesarean section and stayed in the hospital for five days.

After her grandson was born, Zhang Shumei originally planned to resign for a year to stay home and take care of him. However, when her employer heard that the top-notch nanny they had managed to beat out a host of competitors was about to resign because of her grandson, they immediately used their connections to find Zhang Shumei a top-notch maternity nanny and a top-notch childcare nanny. In one go, Zhang Shumei switched back to her original job.

Finally, after taking a 15-day leave of absence and running back and forth between the hospital and home for several days, Zhang Shumei welcomed a group of people who came to visit her on the 10th day after her grandson's birth.

As Luo Jun's trusted aunt, Zhang Shumei is very familiar with the people in the neighborhood committee.

When Luo Jun was alive, he was a well-known lonely elderly man in Yunzhong Community. The staff of the neighborhood committee treated Luo Jun like an elite, visiting him every year during holidays and making every effort to visit him when they were short of articles. Under the leadership of Chen Huihong, who was still unconscious at the time, they carried out various activities to comfort Luo Jun and wrote a series of popular news articles.

Zhang Shumei watched all of these activities.

Zhang Shumei thought she was very familiar with the process.

When Zhang Shumei saw that Qin Huai and the others had brought everything, from strollers and diapers to baby bowls and formula, but not a camera, she realized that Qin Huai seemed to really not understand the modern concept of "comforting others."

"Aunt Zhang, these little gifts are just a token of our appreciation." Qin Huai held snacks in his left hand and another in his right, with a box of milk powder that Zhao Cheng'an had asked him to bring at his feet. He stood at Zhang Shumei's door with a big smile, trying to convince Zhang Shumei that today was just a routine visit from the neighborhood committee with a master-level lie. "These are all leftover prizes from Sister Hong's brother's company. Sister Hong asked us to pack them all up and bring them."

Zhang Shumei was stunned. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask if Chen Huihong's younger brother had failed in his foray into infant products and withdrawn, leaving behind so many unsold goods. However, after glancing at the items everyone had brought, she noticed they were all from reputable brands, and different brands at that, so she chose to remain silent.

Having worked alongside Luo Jun for many years, Zhang Shumei habitually refrained from questioning or pondering the matter. If she were to question it, it would be difficult to explain why, despite her previous habit of returning empty vegetable baskets after going out, and why Luo Jun's home never accumulated many potted plants until his death.

"That's really too kind of you." Zhang Shumei quickly stepped aside to welcome everyone in, and gestured to her son with her eyes to hurry up and pour tea and serve fruit, and to remember to cut the fruit nicely and arrange it on a plate before serving it.

Zhang Shumei's son rushed into the kitchen.

Qin Huai glanced at Zhang Shumei's son discreetly.

Zhang Shumei's son and daughter-in-law came to help at Luo Jun's funeral, but Qin Huai didn't remember them at the time. Now that they are Luo Jun's parents, Qin Huai must carefully observe the couple's appearance to determine whether Luo Jun will grow up to be an ordinary person or a handsome man.

Yes, just an ordinary person.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Zhang Shumei, Chen Huihong got straight to the point: "Is the baby in the room? Can I see him now? Is he afraid of strangers? Is he easy to take care of?"

When her grandson was mentioned, Zhang Shumei couldn't stop smiling: "Of course, Junjun just woke up and is playing in his room. This child didn't cry much for the first few days, which scared his mother and me. We thought he was mentally challenged, but we were relieved after the checkup."

“Yanyan doesn’t have much breast milk, and we were worried that Junjun wouldn’t drink formula, but the child is quite sensible and drinks formula as usual.”

"He just doesn't like to sleep at night. No matter how much the nanny we hired sings or tries to coax him, he won't fall asleep. But he doesn't cry even when he's not sleeping. He just has a bit of a temper and likes to hit people. This morning, his dad was teasing him on purpose, and after only a couple of words, he raised his hand to hit his dad's face. He swung his little arm really hard."

Chen Huihong's eyes lit up when she heard this. He doesn't sleep at night, has a bad temper, and doesn't cry much. If we rule out the possibility that this child is the reincarnation of the protagonist of another novel, then who else could it be but Luo Jun!

"Which room is the child in?" Chen Huihong had already taken out her phone, ready to record the wonderful moment of her first meeting with Luo Jun.

"The innermost room."

Chen Huihong strode ahead, and Zhang Shumei found her action of taking out her phone perfectly normal. With so many gifts brought on a visit, how could she not take photos? The only camera the neighborhood committee had must be broken. Inside the room, the nanny was using an ugly, brightly colored doll—one that most people would find unattractive, but which children would surely adore—to soothe the baby.

Logically speaking, a 10-day-old baby shouldn't understand toys at all. But Luo Jun wasn't an ordinary child. Considering that the baby neither slept nor cried and didn't seem to have much curiosity about the world, the nanny had to try every possible way to amuse the baby.

The moment Chen Huihong entered the room, the little child lying on the bed, dressed in thick little clothes and only able to wave his tiny hands and feet, turned his head and glanced at Chen Huihong.

Surprisingly, this child is quite fair-skinned, and his hair has grown quite a bit.

At first glance, everyone knew that the child must be Luo Jun.

That look in her eyes, if you wouldn't say it was three parts mockery, three parts indifference, and four parts nonchalance, it was at least seven parts "Chen Huihong, are you sick?" and three parts "I'm only 10 days old and you've already found me."

Normal babies would never have that kind of look in their eyes; everyone knows that.

Upon seeing the visitor, Luo Jun no longer wanted to play the game with the nanny that the child was very interested in with ugly dolls. He angrily punched the doll to show that he didn't like it.

The nanny asked with a smile, "Is Junjun hungry?"

Luo Jun then threw a punch in the air, clearly annoyed, to express his dissatisfaction with the title. He then let out two perfunctory "waaaahs" as if to pretend he was hungry.

The postpartum nanny quickly went to prepare the formula.

Zhang Shumei quickly took over, picked up Luo Jun, and seeing that her grandson didn't seem to mind, smiled and asked everyone if they wanted to hold the child.

Everyone was eager to seize this opportunity and expressed their determination to experience it.

Not only do you have to experience it, you also have to take photos.

So, everyone received a precious photo of Luo Jun, who was still a baby in his arms, powerless to resist, and could only punch each of them twice. He was too tired to punch anymore and could only stare blankly with displeasure in his eyes, filled with the murderous intent that he would breathe fire and kill them all after he awakened.

Chen Huihong, who is not afraid of death, told Zhang Shumei that she lacked material and strongly requested that Zhang Shumei help her record a video.

Everyone returned home with a full load of goodies.

After leaving Zhang Shumei's house, Chen Huihong spent a large sum of money to hire a private investigator to investigate Zhang Shumei's son and daughter-in-law. There was actually nothing to investigate, but Chen Huihong just wanted to find out.

The two were just an ordinary couple. Zhang Shumei's husband had passed away from illness many years ago, leaving behind a huge debt for medical expenses. This was why Zhang Shumei chose to work as a live-in nanny. During her time working at Luo Jun's house, Zhang Shumei had already paid off the debt. Her son, Chen Tao, also grew up in poverty and was relatively independent and self-reliant. He worked hard to get into a prestigious university and found a job.

Chen Tao's wife, Wang Yan, was his college classmate. The two originally did not work in Shanshi. They moved to Shanshi entirely because Luo Jun gave Zhang Shumei an apartment in Yunzhong Community, which was a school district property.

Because of the property Luo Jun gifted to Zhang Shumei, her family is not short of money. Zhang Shumei's decision to continue working as a nanny in the Yunzhong residential area is simply because she can't stand being idle. Her son and daughter-in-law have no intention of relying on their parents. Chen Tao quickly found a busy and well-paying job after moving to Shanshi, and Wang Yan also plans to go back to work after their child turns two.

The above information was obtained by the private investigator. Perhaps because they felt that the information about Chen Tao and his wife was too easy to find, and they felt a little sorry for their clients, the private investigator even found out what baby supplies the couple prepared during their pregnancy.

They were very well prepared, and you could see the couple's expectations and love for their future child.

After reviewing the information sent by the private investigator, everyone exclaimed that Luo Jun was born into a good family.

Zhang Shumei's employer recommended a top-notch postpartum nanny and a top-notch childcare nanny, who were both very responsible. The postpartum nanny took excellent care of the mother and child for the first 45 days, and the childcare nanny was also very dedicated to the child, often taking the baby for walks in the Yunzhong community in a stroller.

Qin Huai and others would often pretend to enjoy taking afternoon walks and bump into the nanny and Luo Jun in the neighborhood.

Soon, both new and old customers of Yunzhong Canteen knew that Chef Qin had recently developed a habit of going out for a stroll every afternoon at 3 p.m. and returning at 4 p.m. to make the last batch of pastries.

Later, this habit somehow reached Tan Weian, who even sent a message to Qin Huai asking if it was a recent epiphany he had discovered. If it worked, he also wanted to apply to go out for a stroll every afternoon at 3 pm and return to Zhiweiju at 4 pm.

Qin Huai said he didn't know if this habit would lead to enlightenment, but he was certain he would run into Luo Jun by chance.

This way, he could, in a high-pitched voice, say to Luo Jun in a standard, exaggerated voice, just like when he was teasing a child: Chen Huihong, who had also bumped into Luo Jun, Qu Jing during her break, Shi Dadan, who had inexplicably fallen in love with the activity, An Youyou, who loved joining in the fun, Wang Gensheng, who liked to exchange parenting tips with the nanny during these chance encounters, and Chen Gong, who would occasionally take time off work to fly to the city for these chance meetings.
"Oh dear, Junjun is out for a walk again!"

"Jun Jun is so cute."

"When will Junjun speak?"

"JunJun looks so beautiful in her clothes today!"

"JunJun threw another punch! JunJun's punch was really great!"

Simultaneously, record a video.

At first, no one was filming, but under Chen Huihong's leadership, no one could resist filming two videos and saving them on their phones.

Chen Huihong even created a QQ group and uploaded these videos to the group files, with the file name "Jun Jun is so cute".

Later on, Chen Huihong would even bring Chen Huihui, who was on vacation, along to bump into her.

When Chen Huihui imitated everyone else, using a high-pitched voice to sincerely say to Luo Jun, "Jun Jun is so cute," she successfully received two slaps from Luo Jun.

Then, everyone heard Chen Huihui's surprised voice: "Wow, Mom, you're right, Junjun is really strong. He hit me a little hard just now."

"JunJun, can you punch me twice more?"

Luo Jun: ...
