Chapter 716 The cub is back home
"Shuyu is back? Look! I brought you a souvenir from Xumi." Su took the opportunity to get the gift for Shuyu to escape from the kitchen.
Shuyu thanked him and took the heavy paper box. She opened it with a trembling heart and found that it did not contain Xumi's teaching materials, but beautiful stationery.
Shuyu became happier as she relaxed, "Thank you, Sister Su! I love these stationery!"
Su sighed, "After going through the torture of writing a paper, I finally understood how annoying homework is."
Put yourself in other people’s shoes and don’t give extra homework to students if they don’t have to do it. This is what it means to accumulate virtue.
Shuyu thought of her deskmate, whose aunt was studying in Xumi. She said that her gentle aunt would go crazy when the project deadline was approaching. It was very scary! No one at home dared to provoke her.
Shuyu showed a sympathetic expression, "So Sister Su, you guys went to Xumi to study. Is your thesis going well?"
"That went well," Subi gave a thumbs up, "No one in Xumi will dare to ask me to write a paper from now on!"
"Well, that's good... Congratulations, Sister Su." Shuyu, who knew the fighting strength and style of the Traveler Team, didn't dare to ask more questions.
——*——*——
Cooking a big meal takes a lot of time, and there is still some time before the meal is served, so everyone first had a small bowl of pork trotter noodle soup made by Shen He.
"This is the recipe Jiaming gave me. He said it was made the way his mother did." Shen He picked up the noodles with chopsticks and learned his lesson. He let them cool for a while before feeding them into Su's mouth.
Su: "It's delicious. Shenhe, please roll it a little more and make it bigger."
Shen He nodded and continued to feed the fish patiently.
I heard that Shuyu didn't need anyone to feed her after she turned three, but these two feed her enthusiastically and eat happily.
Paimon showed a look of disdain, "Su will be spoiled by you guys sooner or later."
Su proudly announced, "I am Shen He's little baby!"
Shen He shook his head, "No."
Paimeng showed a surprised expression. It was rare that Shen He would actually ruin Su's plan!
Shen He continued: "Su is my great treasure, the most precious one."
Shuyu: ...
null:……
elf:……
Xiao rubbed his fingers. To be able to speak his mind so calmly and honestly, he... still needs to practice!
"You, me, her..." Paimon gave up, "I shouldn't have expected anything from you two. You two are even more annoying than before!"
"Because Shen He and I haven't seen each other for a long time," Su leaned her head on Shen He's shoulder, "Besides, what's wrong with good sisters being a little affectionate?"
Shen He's expressionless face was filled with a hint of gentleness. "It's normal for good sisters to be a little bit close to each other."
Xianyun was touched and sighed, "The good relationship between the children and the peaceful family are worth a fortune."
Paimon felt that a family should be together. "By the way, why hasn't Ganyu come back yet? She's not working overtime again."
Xiao picked up a butterfly made of leaves and said, "I can use magic to send a message to her."
Su's attention was drawn to the butterfly on the leaf. "Did Xiao make this himself?"
The butterfly is made of golden sycamore leaves. It looks simple but vivid and quite interesting.
Xiao: "Well, I just do it when I have nothing to do in my spare time."
Whenever he thought of her and had leaves at hand, he would fold a leaf butterfly. Before he knew it, he had accumulated too many and simply used them as spell materials.
After the leaf butterfly fluttered around under the pull of the wind element, it gently fell into the girl's hands.
Paimon sighed, "I felt it when I saw Xiao Lantern that time. Xiao is really good at handicrafts."
"There's no need to send a message to Ganyu." Xianyun's expression was angry and helpless when Ganyu was mentioned. "She hasn't come back to live recently. She must be working overtime."
"During festivals, when the people of Liyue have more leisure time, she becomes busier. Sending her a message will only make her feel guilty. Just go see her when you have time."
Su felt sympathetic, "Working is so hard, it's better to be a freelancer. Hmm? Festival, what festival?"
Paimon wanted to say that it was only Sora who worked diligently in Xumi, but when he thought about how Su was indeed tired for a long time because of the thesis, he swallowed his complaints.
Xianyun: "It's the Lantern Festival. In a few days it will be the Moon Festival."
Su:!
It's hot! Xumi's climate is stable and there is no obvious change of seasons. They were so busy that they didn't pay attention to the time and missed the day of reunion in Liyue!
Xianyun hugged the regretful girl, patted her gently to comfort her, "It's normal for young people to be unable to find time to go home while working outside. How can I be that kind of unsympathetic parent? Whether it's you or Ganyu, just know to take care of yourselves."
Su snuggled in Xianyun's arms, "Zhenjun, you are so nice." She will definitely come back for the Lantern Festival next year!
During the period before dinner, Su seemed to be attached to Xianyun.
Then, according to Paimon's law that "There must be a Shenhe growing within three steps of Su!", the frosty-haired beauty followed closely behind.
Finally, there was the diligent Shuyu, who ran around to serve her master.
Looking at the line of ducks arranged in different heights, he held his chin in his hand and imagined a scene of a mother turban duck taking her ducklings for a walk.
——*——*——
When the lights come on, dinner begins.
With the cooking machine, cooking saved a lot of effort. But among the large table of dishes, many were made by Xianyun himself.
"Come, try my specialty, the Four-Happiness Perfection." Xianyun opened the lid of the steamer, revealing the steaming big meatballs inside.
There were only four of the Four Joys Perfection dumplings in the pot. Xianyun served one to each member of the traveler team and gave another one to the Demon-Subduing Great Sage.
The meatballs are so big that the small bowl can hardly hold them.
Although this dish looks rich and greasy, it actually tastes light. The delicate and juicy minced meat is added with crispy and fresh winter bamboo shoots, which are soft and crispy, and can relieve greasiness and enhance the flavor.
There has never been a rule of not talking while eating at the Xianyun family's dinner table. A group of people ate and chatted, and the team of travelers talked about all the interesting things they encountered in Xumi.
Shuyu looked longing, "My brothers and sisters have actually seen the real Lanna Luo! I really want to be friends with Lanna Luo."
The Lannar series of picture books drawn by Nashida have been sold abroad and have gradually become the best works in the hearts of children. Shuyu is a true love reader of this series of picture books and has collected the complete set of picture books that can be bought in Liyue Bookstore.
"Really? Then let me test you." Su held up a Lanaro puppet, "Who am I?"
Shuyu, who was familiar with picture books, recognized them immediately, "Lan, Luo, Mo!"
"That's right," Su handed the Lan Luomo doll to Shuyu, "You must treat her well."
Shuyu, with starry eyes, suppressed her excitement and took the doll, "Thank you, Sister Su! I will definitely take good care of Lan Luomo!"
Shuyu was worried that the soup and smell on the table would get on the baby, so after explaining things to her master, she didn't even eat and ran back to her room with the baby in her arms.
"This child..." Xianyun was very happy to see the overly sensible and precocious Shuyu reveal her rare childish side.
Everyone at the table continued to talk about Xumi's coup and major events in the Institute of the Church.
"We have also heard some of what happened in Xumi, but after knowing these details... Alas, I originally thought that Qixing's ability to govern was average, but after this comparison, Qixing actually seems diligent and upright."
Xianyun shook his head and sighed, stroking the girl's face, "Although I am confident in your abilities, you must have suffered a lot. Stay at home for a while, and I will take good care of you."
Su raised his head proudly, "It's not hard. Even if all those guys in the Teaching Court were piled up together, they wouldn't be enough for me to fight alone!"
"And when I came back and saw Zhenjun and everyone, I felt so happy. This is spiritual nourishment~"
"You are always so sweet." Xianyun held the girl and rocked her, and put her down after a long while. He then put a lot of food in her bowl, "You are still growing, you should eat more."
The child has lost two kilograms and needs to gain that weight back quickly.
"Am I telling the truth?" Su muttered as he began to eat, while Paimon and Sora took over the task of telling Xumi's story.
