Autistic genius, a flourishing era of scientific research

Because there were more Zhao family members, the lunch was very lively.

Xu Weiran, Liming, Xia Fei, and Lu Qinghuan were the same age as Jiang Yan, so they were occasionally mentioned by the adults at the dinner table, and they would say a few more words when asked questions.

However, after all, they were not familiar with the Zhao family and were younger than them, so they seldom took the initiative to speak. It was mainly Jiang Xiaowen and Song Yuwei who chatted with the Zhao family and learned more about their situation over the years.

As a native of Xiaoyu City, Gao Tingzhou can also have a say in it.

It was not until the Zhao family mentioned Zhao Xin and Zhao Xian that Xu Weiran and Xia Fei took the initiative to ask more questions, and then they were convinced that Zhao Xian and Zhao Xin were Jiang Yan's cousins.

They suddenly understood what was going on. No wonder those two guys suddenly came to Jiang Yan for no apparent reason during the math competition.

Also, during the public trial at school before, he inexplicably came to get close to them.

"They knew at that time that Jiang Yan was their cousin, right?" Li Ming said after taking a sip of soup.

Xia Fei said to Jiang Yan, "It was the twins who came to talk to you during the math competition. They were good students from No. 10 Middle School. They were said to be better than us before, but now they're definitely not as good as us."

"We're ranked behind in the math competition. Oh, that feels good."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that what he said was wrong. He quickly glanced at Grandpa Zhao, Grandma Zhao and Zhao He, smiled embarrassedly, and lowered his head to eat.

They would occasionally say a few words, but Jiang Yan was different. She basically didn't speak.

Just now, when Xia Fei told her about Zhao Xian and Zhao Xin, she nodded softly.

At other times, whether Jiang Xiaowen or Song Yuwei talked about her, Jiang Yan just picked up the food with chopsticks in her left hand.

Zhao's grandmother, Ma Lianghua, even whispered to Jiang Yan why she used her left hand instead of her right, thinking she was left-handed.

When asked the question, Jiang Yan sat upright at the table, picking up dishes and eating and drinking soup, with a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't hear what she said.

Then Lu Qinghuan helped Jian Dan and Jiang Yan explain a few words.

After lunch, Song Yuwei still didn't have to worry about washing the dishes.

Xia Fei, Liming and Xu Weiran would always go together to help. Song Yuwei had been with them for a long time and treated them as half her own children, and was not polite to them.

In addition, he asked Si Cizhan to stay at home to wash the dishes, and then called Jiang Xiaowen and Jiang Yan to go out and see the Zhao family off.

Ma Lianghua wanted to stay a little longer to talk, but Song Yuwei said:

"This afternoon we plan to take Jiang Yan to visit her grandfather's grave. The girl hasn't been home for four years. Normally, we should have visited Old Jiang's grave when we returned to Xiaoyu City. We were busy then and didn't think about it. Today is Jiang Yan's birthday, and I've taken another day off, so it's a good time to go. We can also ask Old Jiang to bless Jiang Yan in the underworld."

So Ma Lianghua nodded and was helped out the door by Qi Shen.

Zhao He directly carried his father, Zhao Shanyang, on his back. He glanced at Jiang Yan, who was standing silently beside him and said, "As I said before, if you need anything, you can come to us for help. We're a generation apart and haven't seen each other for so many years, so it's normal that you don't feel close to us. Zhao Xian and Zhao Xin are your peers, and they often praise you for your academic performance and intelligence. You two should be able to get along well."

Jiang Yan didn't comment, but just said: "We are not in the same school."

At present, there are no conditions for her to interact with students from other schools, and judging from all aspects, there is no need to do so.

It was rare for Jiang Yan to say something, and Ma Lianghua, who had just stepped out of the door, was about to say a few more words about the matter when she heard it, but Qi Shen quickly stopped her.

As Jiang Yan's teacher, Qi Shen has a good understanding of Jiang Yan's personality. Unless it comes to serious matters, she basically ignores people.

Sometimes the teacher ignores me in class, let alone other people.

He saw Ma Lianghua talking to Jiang Yan several times, but Jiang Yan ignored him, so he simply interrupted Ma Lianghua's attempts to talk to Jiang Yan, so as to prevent the old man from feeling disappointed if it happened too many times.

They sent the people to the bus stop outside the community together, watched the Zhao family get on the bus, and then started walking back.

Song Yuwei sighed and said, "I didn't expect Yanyan's grandparents to come today. It's perfect. I'll call Fangfang later and say a few words about Yanyan's birthday. I estimate the birthday present your mother bought for you will arrive at the post office tomorrow. I went to the post office yesterday and asked, but it hasn't arrived yet."

"I'm running out of time today. I'll pick it up and put it at home before I take the train tomorrow. You can just unpack it yourself after school."

"You still remember your grandfather, right? Let's go to your hometown this afternoon to visit his grave. You can't miss this event. It's just right that I'll go and burn some incense for Dad. He's been missing Senior Jiang for the past few years."

Jiang Yan nodded: "I remember."

Her mother Zhao Fangfang and grandfather were the two people most clearly remembered by Jiang Yan before she traveled through time.

She was willing to visit the old man's grave. If the old man were still alive, Jiang Yan could do something for him as a reward for her grandfather's careful care for Jiang Yan.

Unfortunately, he has been dead for many years and it is not clear whether he left any last wishes.

"What should I bring to visit the graves?" Jiang Yan was concerned about this matter and asked proactively.

Jiang Xiaowen and Song Yuwei were both a little surprised and relieved.

Although she didn't care about her grandparents, Jiang Yan cared about the people around her.

"Don't worry about that. Let your brother get ready. We'll go home and rest for a while. We just ate and it's not too late. There's no rush to leave. Waiting for half an hour won't be a big deal."

When they returned home, Si Ci Zhan and a few other teenagers had already washed the dishes.

Lu Qinghuan just wiped his hands and came out of the kitchen with Xu Weiran and the others.

Gao Tingzhou was really like a guest, sitting on the sofa and listening to the radio.

She wanted to help, but with four high school students and Si Cizhan crammed into the kitchen, there were already too many people and she was really not needed.

Seeing Song Yuwei coming back, Gao Tingzhou hurriedly talked to her. When he learned that they were going to the countryside to visit the graves, he did not stay any longer. He stood up from the sofa and was about to take Liming home.

"Be sure to call me when you leave tomorrow. I'll see you off at the train station."

Gao Tingzhu was afraid that she would leave secretly by herself, so he reminded her several times. Song Yuwei promised that she would not leave secretly, so Gao Tingzhu felt at ease and took Li Ming home.

"Then let's go too." Lu Qinghuan originally wanted to follow Jiang Yan to visit the graves, but after thinking it over carefully, she decided not to join in the fun.

When Xu Weiran and Xia Fei were about to leave, Lu Qinghuan followed them to say goodbye to Jiang Yan.

Xia Fei waved the thick book in his hand at Jiang Yan. "Xu Weiran and I took this book away first. Oh, and there's your notebook in the book. Since you won't be home this afternoon, we'll take it too."

Jiang Yan nodded to indicate that they were free to do as they pleased, and then said to Xu Weiran:

"Let's move this weekend."

"Okay." Xu Weiran responded, "Xia Fei and I will tell Li Ming. We'll go over and tie it up first."

……

If you buy a ticket and take a bus from Liufeng City to Changhe Village, it will take a lot of time, so Jiang Xiaowen and Si Ci Zhanyi borrowed a car from someone and drove to the countryside.

After leaving Liufeng City and arriving at the county town, the streets become much narrower. Going from the county town to the countryside, the road is even more difficult to drive. Not only is the road not wide enough, but the road surface is also not flat enough.

Along the way, Jiang Xiaowen and Si Ci Zhan took turns driving in front. He and Si Ci Zhan had come to pay homage to Mr. Jiang, so they were quite familiar with the road conditions here.

Song Yuwei wanted to see how the road went, so she sat in the passenger seat. When they set off from Liufeng City, Si Cizhan was driving, and when they arrived at the county town, Jiang Xiaowen took over.

As soon as Jiang Yan got in the car, she closed her eyes and rested in the back seat, and slowly dozed off for a while. When Jiang Xiaowen saw Jiang Yan fell asleep, he asked Si Cizhan to drive more steadily.

Although he wanted to drive smoothly now, even a god of driving would have to shake the car a few times on this road.

Jiang Yan woke up while being shaken, opened her eyes, rolled down the car window, and looked out. She had arrived in a place she didn't recognize. There were more farmlands and low mountains on both sides of the road. There were people farming on the hillside. From a distance, they looked like little people in a flat game on an intelligent computer.

"Awake?" Si Cizhan lowered the car window for her, letting Jiang Yan enjoy the fresh air. "Close it after a while. It's colder in the countryside than in the city. Don't catch a cold."

"Yanyan is awake?" Jiang Xiaowen laughed. He knew Jiang Yan would be woken up by the shaking on this stretch of road. "We'll be there in more than half an hour. It's good that she's awake."

Song Yuwei remembered that Jiang Yan often stayed up late to study, and couldn't help but say:

"After I leave, please don't stay up late at night reading. Not only does it hurt your eyes, but you also don't get a good rest. You're still young and growing up, so you should take care of your body. You're doing well in school, so it's only right that you relax a little. Who spends all day reading and studying?"

She couldn't help but think of Jiang Yan, who even relaxed by fiddling with some physics-related models, calculating while relaxing:

"You should give your brain a break every now and then. Don't let yourself become a nerd when you get into college!"

She was already such a cold person, and Song Yuwei couldn't imagine what it would be like if she became a nerd. Song Yuwei's hypothesis made Jiang Xiaowen and herself laugh.

"Don't worry, Aunt Song. Yanyan will definitely not become a nerd." Jiang Xiaowen said, then thought for a while, pondered for a while, and then asked Jiang Yan in the back seat of the car, "Yanyan, what do you think of the Zhao family? That's your grandmother's family. What do you plan to do with them in the future? If you want to keep in touch, they are all in Liufeng now, so they are close and don't have to worry about the distance."

"They came so suddenly today, and they came for you. My brother and Si Cizhan didn't mention it at home. In fact, we used to know Zhao He from the Zhao family, your second uncle."

Jiang Yan was not very surprised, she just accepted the information. Song Yuwei was a little surprised. She turned around to look at her son Si Cizhan and asked:

"You know each other? When did it happen? Could it be that you have already contacted Jiang Yan's grandmother's family?"

"That's not the case." Jiang Xiaowen shook his head.

Si Cizhan said, "Zhao He was driving a sports car in Xiaoyu City before. We met when we first arrived in Xiaoyu City."

"Zhao He is very capable and responsible. At that time, there were other members of the Zhao family who followed him in running the sports car team. When he quit, the rest of the Zhao family followed suit. However, they used to live in Cangyue City. I heard from Si Cizhan that they only moved here this year. I didn't expect that they and Jiang Yan's mother, Aunt Zhao, not only share the same surname, but are also family."

He recalled some things from the past and continued, "Yan Yan climbed over the wall and left the school that night. That night, they and I were looking for her together. That day, I learned that the Zhao family said they had seen Yan Yan at the garbage recycling station. Maybe they noticed Jiang Yan at that time."

However, it was not him who asked the Zhao family for help that night. Si Cizhan also heard it from others. Later, he and Jiang Xiaowen secretly went to the Zhao family and gave them some gifts to express their gratitude.

"So that's how it is." Song Yuwei nodded. "That's quite a coincidence. I think Granny Ma and Uncle Zhao both like Yanyan very much. They've never been cold to her at the dinner table. This relationship could be a good start. Who knows, maybe Yanyan can even help ease the relationship between Fangfang and her family. Then everyone will be happy."
