Chapter 296 The Dragon Boat Festival is Coming Again
"Mr. Shen Siqing - this is a confession. I have confessed everything. In addition to this case, there was another case before that where he buried a body. I have already ordered someone to bring the body back and notify the victim's family to go to the Dali Temple to identify the body."
Shen Yuan placed the confession on her father's desk and sat down on the chair opposite the desk.
Shen Yun picked up the confession and looked through it. He said, "Master Shen is so fast in judging the case. I really admire you. I would like to treat Master Shen to a bowl of braised pig's feet with soybeans at noon. How about that?"
"Well, this is what I should do, but since Lord Shen has said so, I will respectfully obey your orders."
At noon, the father and daughter ate alone in the duty room. The pig's feet were cut into small pieces and simmered over a slow fire until they were soft and tasty. Shen Yuan liked to pour the soup over the rice. It was so delicious. After half a bowl of rice, Shen Yuan opened his mouth to speak.
"Dad, I won't go to watch the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days. I want to rest at home and go back to eat with Xie in the evening."
"Well, whatever you say, there's nothing interesting about dragon boat racing."
Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Dad, if you attend, I will definitely go to watch it."
Shen Yun glanced at his daughter and said, "Don't even think about it." Was she going to fall into the water and let that old man Zong Yongzhao make fun of her?
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Xie Hui got up early, tucked in the quilt for Shen Yuan, and was about to give her a secret kiss before leaving. Unexpectedly, as soon as he lowered his head, he met a pair of sleepy eyes.
Xie Hui sat down beside the bed and asked her softly, "Did I wake you up?"
Shen Yuan shook his head, turned over, and hugged the waist of the man in front of him with both hands. He rubbed his face against his waist and abdomen. "Usually, you should wake up at this time. I'm used to it. Thank you for your hard work, Master."
Xie Hui bent down and continued what he had just unfinished. Then he touched her head and said, "Go to sleep. You finally get a good nap today."
"Okay." Shen Yuan agreed lazily, turned over and rolled to the innermost part of the bed. This feeling of waking up at the right time and finding that he could still sleep for a long time was really - too fascinating!
Xie Hui stood up and straightened the thin quilt for her, then bent down and gently touched her cheek. Then he opened the bed curtains and tiptoed out.
During every festival, the capital city, which was not very "peaceful" to begin with, would become even more unpeaceful. Early in the morning, there were three waves of fighting on the Ziyang River alone due to fighting for seats. Before the dragon boat race started and the imperial guards had not arrived, more than one or two people fell into the river. At this time, only the people from Jingzhao Prefecture could go down to the river to rescue them.
"There is a time limit."
"Hello, uncle!"
"Dad, good afternoon, what delicious food did you buy?"
"This is the little candy man my grandfather bought for me." Suishun was very generous and even gave his own little candy man back to Xie to share.
"Thank you, Suisui. Suisui can eat by himself."
Shen Yun smiled and said, "I don't have time to accompany him out to play on weekdays, but today it's very lively outside, so I'll take him out to have a look. Manman is still sleeping, right?"
"Yes, she was still sleeping when I left. By the way, Dad." Xie Hui took out a colorful silk bracelet from his arms, "This is made by Manman. It's for Sui Sui. Last night, she told me to remember to bring it with me when I leave today. Originally, I was going to send it to the restaurant."
"For me?"
"Yes, your aunt gave it to you, and your uncle put it on you."
"Thank you, auntie, and thank you, uncle." After thanking her, Sui Sui raised her head and asked Shen Yun, "Grandfather, why didn't auntie come?"
Shen Yun said softly, "Because your aunt is just like your parents, lazy bugs who are still sleeping."
"Yes, you can go and get busy first. If you have time to rest at noon, come to the restaurant and have lunch together."
"Yes, I know."
"Sui Sui, say goodbye to your uncle."
…
Shen Yuan slept until noon. He got up, had brunch, strolled for a while, and then went back to the couch to read the storybook.
"It's still a refreshing day like this!"
"Girl, you are just talking. If you are really idle every day, I am afraid you will find something to do again."
Even after Shen Yuan got married, Qingdai and the others still called him Madam all the time. Not to mention Qingdai and the others, even Shen Yuan himself was not used to them calling him Madam. So he simply let them continue to call him Madam as before when they were at home. There was no outsider to hear them anyway, so it didn't matter what they called him.
"I can only talk about it, right? I can't just quit my position."
After going downstairs, Shen Yuan guessed that his family would soon return home, so he got up, changed his clothes and went home.
"Little aunt! Aunt, look!" As soon as Sunshun saw Shen Yuan, he immediately ran over to show her the bracelet on his hand.
"Shen Zhouxing, who gave this to you?"
"My aunt gave it to me. Thank you, aunt."
"Well, you're welcome."
After showing his bracelet to his aunt, Sui Sui ran away to play with Huang Jingao. When Shen Yuan saw Huang Jingao's current appearance, he couldn't help but say to her father: "Dad, Huang Jingao is too fat, you can't spoil your child."
"What can I do about this? Ever since... Gao Gaoer doesn't like to go out or move around anymore. Hasn't she gained weight?"
"Don't just exercise on your own, take it with you."
Shen Yu mercilessly exposed his father, "Dad would never be willing to do that. If his precious Gao Gao loses a little weight, he will shout that he wants to replenish it."
"Don't listen to your brother's nonsense."
While touching the golden cake, Sui Sui also learned a phrase, "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense!"
This time, except Shen Su, the other three couldn't help laughing.
"You little bastard, I'm your daddy!"
"Dad, you're talking nonsense! Gao Gao is not fat at all! Dad is the fat one."
"Hahahahahaha, Suishun said it well."
Shen Xu was so angry that he fell backwards and complained to He Ying: "No, Madam, look at how our son can still lie with his eyes open. How am I fat?"
"How should I know? Anyway, I never lie. I probably learned this from you."
At dinner, Shen Yuan asked about the academy, "I told Weng Weng before that I wanted to be a teacher, but I never got to go."
Shen Su's mouth would itch if he didn't say something naughty. He said to Shen Yuan, "You'd better not go, so as not to mislead the young people."
"Shen Zhouxing, beat your father in front of your aunt."
Shen Su was just about to say how could my son listen to you when he was slapped on the back of his hand, and it was not light. Everyone heard the "pop" sound.
"Aunt, I hit you."
"Well done! Auntie will reward you with a piece of meat."
He Ying smiled and said, "The academy is busy. There are no classes at the academy when you are on vacation, so you can't go there, right? But there is my grandfather at the academy, as well as his former students and colleagues. Those who have retired at home also go to the academy to help teach. There are also me and my mother. There is also someone you should know, the second daughter of the Su family. My grandfather said before that she is very knowledgeable. It is rare for a little girl like her to be so patient with the children in the academy. She is almost always there."
Shen Yuan was also quite surprised to hear this. After all, Su Ciyin looked like a very cold person, but he didn't expect him to be so patient with children. After all, the oldest child in the Weng Weng Academy was only ten years old, and the majority were five or six years old. Children of this age were not easy to take care of.
