Chapter 84: First time picking up the kids from school together
Pei Yanli changed out of his official uniform and took over Cheng Shuyi's job of scraping pig skin.
He turned to the people in the kitchen and asked, "Why are there so many more dishes at home?"
Is she buying goods again?
Cheng Shuyi was peeling the purple sweet potato and making a purple sweet potato and yam cake with it later.
"No, that's what's left over from last time. It's no use leaving it there, so I just took it out and ate it as soon as possible."
Because Cheng Shuyi opened all the doors and windows in the house.
Pei Yanli took a quick look and found that there were also a lot of vegetables piled up in the main house.
He smiled and thought: At least she will be here until these things are finished.
very nice.
The movements of my hands also quickened because of my happiness.
Cheng Shuyi concentrated on cooking and chatted with Pei Yanli.
The two chatted about everything under the sun, but she didn't mention anything about the future.
He didn't explain anything to Pei Yanli.
Her state was more relaxed and cheerful than any other time they had been together before.
Pei Yanli liked to eat fish, so Cheng Shuyi cooked a whole fish and added chili peppers, making it specially for him.
Children can’t eat spicy food, so the other dishes are mainly sweet and sour.
Even the braised pork elbow is sweet with rock sugar.
The two of them worked hard to prepare the dishes.
Cheng Shuyi took off her apron and said, "The academy is almost over. I'm going to pick up the kids."
Pei Yanli brought the soup to the table, washed his hands, and followed her, "I'll go too."
Baima Academy is not far from Cheng’s house.
Usually they let the two kids go to and from school by themselves, since it's only a short walk away. But today, for the first time, they went to pick up the children together.
In the teaching hall, the voice of the teacher's teaching could be heard.
"This year's imperial examination results will be announced soon. When you go to see them, remember to learn from the successful students and copy down their excellent essays..."
It sounded like the teacher from the upper residence was speaking.
Cheng Shuyi and Pei Yanli did not walk too close, for fear of disturbing the students who were in class.
"Are the imperial examination results about to be announced?"
This year's imperial examination was quite a big deal, and Cheng Shuyi could be said to have experienced an ancient event.
She was quite curious about the results of this year's imperial examination.
Pei Yanli stood side by side with her, both of them looking at the door of the outer classroom.
"Well, the results will be announced tomorrow."
The Imperial Examination Hall took more than half a month to grade the papers, and students from other places who came to take the exam were still staying in Shengjing City waiting for the results.
The results are finally going to be announced.
Cheng Shuyi asked him with a smile, "Prince, have you ever taken the imperial examination? Is it true that the winners of the imperial examinations can be chosen as a son-in-law?"
Speaking of this, Pei Yanli unconsciously straightened his back. "I passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen, won the first place in the martial arts examination at the age of sixteen, made great contributions in the northern border at the age of seventeen, and was crowned king at the age of nineteen. What do you think?"
"You passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen?"
Cheng Shuyi was a little shocked by his legendary experience.
Fifteen years old...she was still being called to school by her parents for secretly painting her nails in class.
"You're awesome!" Cheng Shuyi gave him a thumbs up.
"It's time to go home from school."
The children in the church rushed out like crazy.
They ran towards the academy gate in groups of three or two and then went home.
Apart from muttering about what to eat, they also made an appointment to go to the academy to play Cuju after dinner.
When the brother and sister saw their parents coming to pick them up from school, they immediately ran towards them.
This is the first time that Daddy and Mommy come together to pick them up.
"father--"
"Shuyi——"
"Godmother!"
Chang Ge'er and Yan Ge'er also ran towards Cheng Shuyi.
Chang Ge'er's face turned slightly red. "Godmother, are you healed? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Mother told them about Cheng Shuyi's illness.
They haven't seen their godmother for a long time.
"Yeah, everything's ready." Cheng Shuyi put on his best self, smiled and nodded, patted the children's shoulders and said, "Let's go to my godmother's house. She's made delicious food for you."
Children are innocent.
They couldn't believe that their godmother, who had taken them out for trips and played with them all day, would die.
So when Cheng Shuyi said she was fine, they believed she was really fine.
When the four children got home, they piled their schoolbags into the house and ran out to wash their hands.
At the dinner table.
The four children hadn't tasted Cheng Shuyi's cooking for a long time, so they were using their chopsticks very diligently.
Fried meatballs, sweet and sour pork ribs, purple sweet potato and yam cake, rock sugar pork elbow, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, roasted pumpkin, and coconut chicken soup.
All of them are what children love to eat.
The four children were halfway through their meal and finally felt half full. After they had enough energy, they began chattering with Cheng Shuyi and Pei Yanli about things in the academy.
So-and-so was slapped on the palm by the teacher.
So-and-so kicked the Cuju into the river.
So-and-so got engaged as a child, married a young wife, etc.
They told Cheng Shuyi everything that had happened in the academy recently, including all the interesting things.
There were six people at the dinner table, and five of them were chatting animatedly, leaving Pei Yanli aside.
That's all.
As long as there is laughter and people in Cheng's house, it's fine.
Cheng Shuyi still cooks dinner.
There were no guests for dinner, just the four of them, and a few home-cooked dishes.
Water was boiled in the pot in the kitchen. After dinner, Cheng Shuyi asked the two children to take a bath separately.
Pei Yanli still had a palm-leaf fan and a stool, and was helping his daughter, who had just taken a bath, blow dry her hair under the eaves.
The two children seem particularly happy tonight.
The elder brother was bathing in a basin, holding in his hand the small boat that Pei Yanli had carved for him out of wood.
He was humming something.
She sang quietly at first, but later Cheng Shuyi joined her brother in singing.
Later, my sister started singing along.
"The boat floats gently on the water, and a cool breeze blows towards us..."
Mother and her two children sang together.
My sister raised her two little hands to conduct the children, singing and making noises, and then covered her mouth and laughed after she finished singing.
I don't know what he's laughing at.
Although Pei Yanli didn't know what song they were singing, he also felt happy when he saw the mother and son so happy and joyful.
This small courtyard is really nice, as only their family of four lives here.
It would be great if Cheng Shuyi really became his wife.
Cheng Shuyi behaved normally throughout the whole day.
When she was supervising the two children to do their homework in the evening, she was angered and left, and Pei Yanli came instead.
She didn't come back until the two children finished their homework and went to bed.
Cheng Shuyi and her sister sat on her brother's bed and told the two children bedtime stories.
Pei Yanli took a shower and came over to listen together.
Perhaps it had been too long since they had listened to Cheng Shuyi tell stories, so the two children became more and more excited as they listened, and kept pulling her to tell the story.
Cheng Shuyi talked like this until midnight.
Until the two children fell asleep.
Pei Yanli helped and carried his sleeping daughter to the upper bunk.
The nights in Shengjing City in September were cold. He and Cheng Shuyi each took care of one child and covered them with a thin blanket.
