393 Chapter 393

The starfish in the net pocket were not eaten in the end, they were accompanied by some starfish that were prying off the wall from the wall, and became a decoration on the wall of the living room, the man in charge of this matter has smooth black hair, and the appearance of the Oriental makes Shen Xing very friendly, This is Shen's father!

"How is it, isn't this much better?" Father Shen glued the last starfish and looked at the pattern on the wall of the small living room, white sand, starfish, and the dilapidated fishing nets hanging there, just to be used as decoration.

"Well, it's much better. The current Shen Xing is a ten-year-old boy who should be arrogant and stinky fart, he raised his chin slightly, and made a proud appearance, which is very similar to the demeanor of a leader inspection.

Father Shen came over with a smile and patted him on the back and said, "Okay, let's go and do your homework, your mother will be back in a while, and we should have dinner." ”

Because of the great changes in the environment, many people's jobs have changed, most of the factories have been submerged under the sea, some of the original workers can not find a place to accommodate now, and those who used to work in network technology have to change their jobs and find suitable jobs according to the existing conditions.

Now, after two generations, most people's jobs have been stabilized again.

Shen Xing's grandmother is engaged in marine biology research, and it is precisely because of this working relationship that she is very interested in mermaids, and later really married mermaids and moved to this island that is basically a mermaid relative to live.

Shen's father grew up in this kind of mermaid family since he was a child, his living habits belong to the synthesis of his parents, and he is also very passionate about the study of marine life.

It's just that like Grandma Shen, not many people are willing to pay for his research in this mermaid family island, and if he wants to work, he can only go to a relatively distant group ship belonging to humans.

For the sake of his family, Shen's father also gave up the idea of taking this hobby as a job, and instead devoted himself to becoming a biology teacher in a school on the island.

As in the previous system, the work of teachers is always easier and there is a lot of vacation time, although the four seasons are not clear now, but humans still use the old time to calculate the year, and there are still winter and summer vacations, because of some biological habits of giant sea beasts, they will also have extra vacations, which are used to prevent attacks by sea beasts, or to fight back.

Merfolk dominate the ocean, but they are not without natural predators, and those giant sea beasts that are completely incapable of communicating are the ones that merfolk and humans hate alike.

Giant sea beasts generally sleep in the deep sea, like hibernating animals, and when they are hungry and not nutritious, they will come out to hunt for food, not limited to the predation of marine animals, humans and mermaids are also their recipes, and may be more delicious and more attractive to them.

Whenever that happens, merfolk and humans join forces, and the existence of giant sea beasts reduces a lot of conflicts between humans and merfolk, easing the hostile relationship between the two races.

It's not the time for sea beasts to migrate or breed, the sea is calm and the sun is shining, and it's the time of year during the summer holidays.

Like all students, Shen Xing inevitably has some summer homework, but compared to the previous homework written on paper, most of their current homework is some practical homework, and a small part needs to be recorded on paper.

Because of the scarcity of raw materials and machinery for papermaking, paper has now become an expensive commodity, which is not completely without benefits, and writing is obviously much more boring than those hands-on tasks.

Shen Xing was a little curious and took a pencil and wrote a few words on the paper, from the memory of the original owner, he knew the words of this world, listening, speaking, reading and writing, all in place at one time, but they were all to the same extent as the original owner, and if he wanted to go further, he needed to learn by himself.

Watching unfamiliar words take shape in the pen, it may be because of the inherent impression, and I always feel that it is not as good as my own words.

With only a dozen words, this line was written, and the size of the paper was a little short, and such homework was almost no different from nothing.

He had just put down his pen when he heard the sound of his mother coming back from the living room.

"Mom. Making a happy look, Shen Xing greeted him with a smile.

"Hmm. ”

When the mermaid becomes an adult, it has two forms, and can switch between the human form and the human mermaid's tail at will, of course, how long the former can last depends on the mermaid's own level.

Shen's mother was dressed in a golden skirt, her snow-white legs were barefoot on the ground, her appearance was very young, there was no smile on her face, even if she saw Shen Xing, the corners of her mouth were only a little bit like a curvature, and she hugged Shen Xing who ran over to hug her a little perfunctorily, and the distance between them was a little separated, and she would not be close to her at all.

Shen Xing was surprised, and quickly found out the reason why the other party did this from the memory of the original owner, as if in addition to treating their partners, mermaids would not be too close to other creatures, even if it was their own children, they would not hug and kiss or the like.

It's not that they don't love, or that their love is a little less human.

"Eat this. Mother Shen said very little, and even dragged out a cod that was almost as tall as Shen Xing from behind her coldly, this kind of deep-sea fish was one of Shen Xing's favorite foods.

Father Shen took it, he didn't express surprise at the length of the fish body at all, he took it with a smile, and said to Shen's mother: "You accompany the stars, I'll cook." ”

Mother Shen nodded, and she agreed, and went to the living room to sit down, waiting for dinner at any time.

Maybe as a sea creature will not like the existence of fire, cooking is related to fire, mermaids never interfere, so the division of labor of the Shen family has become like this, Shen's father works outside, and he has to cook when he goes home, and other housework, Shen's mother is mainly responsible for bringing back food, as a mermaid, she can bring most of the creatures in the sea to the table, the amount of food of mermaids is still good appetite, which is not comparable to humans, fortunately, most of their recipes are overlapping, otherwise the family of mermaids and humans may have more contradictions。

Shen Xing recalled the relationship between the original owner and Shen's mother, basically there is nothing to recall, although it is a mother, but because of the racial characteristics of the mermaid, the other party is in a free-range state for his own child after birth, if the original owner does not take the initiative to get up, the other party will basically not show any closeness.

Even if the original owner took the initiative to come up, most of what he got was a cold face, and there was almost no smile on the other party's face.

This made the original owner very aggrieved for a while, but because of the high status of the mermaid, he longed to be such a person, and then he behaved unkindly to the friends around him.

In fact, in Shen Xing's view, these are just biological differences between the two creatures, and it is not impossible to change through running-in, but the magnitude of change cannot be too much.

It's like a vegetarian animal is not so easy to force it to eat meat, which goes against the characteristics of the organism.

"Mom, do you want to read my homework?"

It is not known who learned from whom, no one can specifically verify whether the merfolk have existed for a longer history than humans, and it is possible that the merfolk's excellent IQ allows them to easily grasp the script of other races, and they will automatically use this script when communicating with that race.

Shen Xing is very curious about the mermaid race, if he can, he also wants to turn into a mermaid to see, the deep sea, it is a place that ordinary people can't go.

Shen Mu hesitated for a moment, glanced at the kitchen, then looked back at Shen Xing, and finally nodded.

Shen Xing was more active than her, and he was already ready to go, and as soon as he saw her nodding, he ran to the table on the side, took the thin paper, and handed it to Shen's mother to check.

His homework for this summer vacation is simply a description of his daily activities, mainly on marine life, which is equivalent to a weekly diary. Before Shen Xing's arrival, the original owner had recorded a lot of things about the starfish, and Shen Xing didn't change it in vain, anyway, he was watching the starfish this week, and the change would be next week.

"There's something else. Shen Mu said this after reading it.

Shen Xing reacted for a moment and realized that this "other" was talking about other creatures in the sea, because of this family, everyone has a certain love for marine creatures, but Shen's mother's favorite thing is just to swallow them in her stomach and bring home some for dinner by the way, how many other kinds are there, and what are the characteristics of each, it doesn't pay too much attention.

"But I can't see it, Mom, when will you take me to the sea to play!"

Because the mermaid blood in his body is even a little richer than that of Shen's father, theoretically speaking, Shen Xing is also able to carry out activities such as diving, but Shen's father has Shen's mother with him, but Shen's mother is unwilling to take him, which leads to him not seeing anything under the sea since he was ten years old.

Mother Shen had no expression on her face, did not nod or shake her head, and did not speak.

At the small stove separated by a half-curtain, Shen's father, who heard the conversation between the mother and son, lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "Are you free tomorrow?

His eyes looked directly at Shen Mu, there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, and Shen Mu's eyes as blue as sea water finally fluctuated, and he nodded: "Hmm." ”

"Great!" Shen Xing raised his arms when the child cheered, still wondering if he was going to run around the house for a small half circle to show his joy, take a look at the size of the room, forget it, it would be bad if he ran into something.

"Alright, come over and eat. "Father Shen brought two methods of cod, Shen's mother's side is almost raw fish sliced, and their side has undergone some cooking, and there is a small plate of sauce, mainly salty, Shen's mother will occasionally dip a little.

Shen Xing's smile narrowed, ah, I forgot, there is no staple food!
