After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

Chapter 56 Cognitive Generation Gap

After Song Chunping finished discussing with her mother about taking her younger brother Chunsheng to the county hospital.

Suddenly, her mother, Liu Yan'e, remembered something else and immediately took her hand, asking with concern.

"Chunping, did you two go to the hospital the other day, the one I told you about?"

"We...not yet!"

Song Chunping frowned slightly and hesitated, "Xiaocheng has been frequently traveling for work lately and simply doesn't have time to go to the hospital with me."

"And he said that when you can have a child depends on fate, and it's not something that can be solved by going to the hospital."

Liu Yan'e immediately shook her head, completely disagreeing with this statement. "How could Xiaocheng have such a foolish idea? I'm telling you, you absolutely cannot listen to him about having a child. You must go to the hospital to get checked out."

"If neither of you has any health problems, then we can wait. But if you do have any minor health issues, you should get them treated while you're still young. Otherwise, when you're older and want to have children, it might be too late!"

Song Chunping nodded. "Mom, I understand. I'll talk to him properly when he comes back from out of town in a couple of days."

"Mom knows you two have a good relationship, but you absolutely can't listen to him about having a child. After all, you're already thirty. Women are different from men. It's not only harder for women to get pregnant as they get older, but the risks of childbirth are also higher."

As Liu Yan'e finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something else and continued, "By the way, how's your relationship with your mother-in-law lately? Has she argued with you two again about not having children?"

Song Chunping bit her lip slightly and then looked at her mother.

"We had a fight a couple of days right after the New Year, but Xiaocheng immediately shut him down and scolded his mother, saying that she should stop interfering in our relationship about whether we wanted to have children, or we would move out if she did."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan'e immediately sighed, "How could this child say such things to his mother!"

Song Chunping quickly comforted her mother, "Mom, don't worry. When he comes back in a couple of days, I will persuade him to go to the hospital with me no matter what."

Seeing that her daughter was truly determined this time, Liu Yan'e breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Once you have children, your mother-in-law will never be able to find fault with you again."

Song Chunping smiled knowingly, then reached into her pants pocket, pulled out a 10-yuan note, and handed it to her mother.

Liu Yan'e was slightly startled, and immediately stuffed the money back to her daughter. "You just gave me some a few days ago, why are you giving me more? Are you two still going to live together? I absolutely cannot accept this money!"

Song Chunping quickly explained, "Please take it! We know what we're doing; this 10 yuan won't make much difference to us!"

Just as the two were politely declining each other's offer, Chunsheng came in from outside. "Mom, Third Sister, dinner is ready. Come and eat!"

While her mother was still in a daze, Song Chunping quickly stuffed the 10 yuan into her mother's pants pocket, and then immediately walked out to greet Chunsheng.

"Chunsheng, look what delicious food your sister brought you!"

As Song Chunping spoke, she walked to the large cloth bag she had placed on the chair, unzipped it, and took out several kinds of pastries.

At this moment, Liu Yan'e also came out of the house. As soon as she saw that her daughter had brought the food, she immediately began to criticize her.

"Next time you come, you can't spend money buying these things again. Every time you bring back big bags and small packages to your parents' house, people in your village will laugh at you and think your mother is a miser!"

Her mother's words immediately amused Song Chunping. "I don't care what they say. Let whoever wants to laugh, laugh. As long as my mom and dad are happy, that includes my little brother!"

As Song Chunping spoke, she patted Chunsheng's shoulder forcefully.

Suddenly, she looked at Chunsheng with curiosity and said, "Hey, you seem to be more robust than you were a few days ago."

Before Chunsheng could speak, his mother, Liu Yan'e, said with a smile, "Chunsheng started training a couple of days ago, and he's currently learning martial arts from our village's militia captain!"

Song Chunping looked at her mother and asked in surprise, "Are you talking about Zhang Junwu?"

"Yes, that's him!"

"Not bad!"

Song Chunping looked at her younger brother with a face full of satisfaction, then suddenly seemed to remember something and reminded him, "You're studying and practicing martial arts at the same time, can your body handle it?"

"Yes, there's absolutely no problem."

Song Chunping nodded. "Alright, as long as you feel it's okay!"

After finishing her meal, Song Chunping told her younger brother Chunsheng before leaving that he should visit her home in Gaojiajie Village when he had time, and that her brother-in-law Gao Xiaocheng would take him to the county town for a bath.

Chunsheng readily agreed, because ever since he started practicing martial arts, he felt sticky all over almost every day.

I wanted to take a shower, but I didn't have the facilities at home, so I could only wipe my body with a hot towel.

Even in his dreams, he longed to take a good, refreshing bath.

In the morning, the third group of the production team had just irrigated the fields, and the entire farmland was now covered in mud, so the family didn't need to go to the fields to work in the afternoon and could rest at home.

For Chunsheng, the most important task for the next two days is to revise that competition essay properly, at least to the point that he himself is satisfied with it.

When Seventh Sister Chunmiao saw his revised essay again, she asked in surprise, "You changed the title?"

"Um!"

Chunsheng nodded, then looked at Seventh Sister and asked, "What do you think of... this topic?"

"A Day in the Life of a Grandparent and Grandchild! This one is much better than the previous one, 'A Day in the Life of My Grandchild.' At least it doesn't feel so stiff and it gives people a sense of warmth. It's great!"

As Chunmiao continued reading, she became increasingly surprised and asked, "Did you come up with all of this yourself, or did you borrow it from some reference book?"

"I came up with all of these myself!"

Chunsheng answered calmly.

Chunmiao couldn't help but glance at Chunsheng, asking curiously, "Did you come up with all those things mentioned, like smartphones, food delivery, and video consultations, yourself?"

Chunsheng smiled and said, "I guess so!"

"What do you mean? You just said it wasn't borrowed from somewhere else, so was it your own idea or did you see it somewhere?"

"I don't know how to explain it to you!"

Chunsheng thought for a moment and said, "None of the things I wrote in my essays came from any other book. You couldn't find them even if you searched every library in the world."

"To say that it was entirely my own idea wouldn't be entirely accurate. It's more accurate to say that those ideas were temporarily stored in my mind, and I just took them out of my head. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand! What exactly do you mean? I really don't understand a word you're saying!"

Chunmiao frowned as she looked at Chongsheng, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

Chunsheng smiled helplessly and offered no further explanation.

He felt that no matter how detailed his explanation was, his sister would still have a hard time understanding, just like when he explained to Zhang Junwu why he had come back from the dead—she couldn't understand!

He thought, perhaps this is what is called the cognitive generation gap!
