Chapter 250 Dragon Boat Race
Shen Yuanzhou was struck by lightning and looked at Lin Cuicui in horror, "Mom, are you serious?"
Lin Cuicui smiled like a loving mother, "What do you think? You are already seventeen years old this year. Do you think you are still young?"
Shen Yuanzhou hugged his weak and innocent self and tried to get away with it, "Mother, I'm still young and don't want to get married for the time being."
"It's okay. We'll wait and see. If we find a suitable one, we'll decide. It will be just right to wait two years before getting married."
Shen Yuanzhou looked at his mother's increasingly serious expression and swallowed his saliva, "Mom, are you serious?"
Lin Cuicui raised her eyebrows, "Do you think I'm kidding you?"
Shen Yuanzhou shook his head and looked at Shen Li for help, but found that his elder sister-in-law and younger sister were gathered at the window, holding their happy nephew and looking at the scenery outside, as if they didn't notice anything happening here at all.
"Mom, I don't want to get married yet."
Shen Li suddenly turned into a decadent little puppy. She turned her head quietly and met her mother's gaze. She was afraid that the fire would burn herself, so she turned her head away silently.
She didn't want to either, she would rather her friend die than let herself die.
I'm sorry, third brother!
Lin Cuicui smiled and said gently, "Old Third, what do you want to do?"
A trace of confusion flashed across Shen Yuanzhou's eyes. What could he do?
He is not as good as his eldest brother in martial arts, nor as good as his fourth brother in literature. What can he do?
Seeing that he was lost in his own thoughts, Lin Cuicui stopped talking. However, Shen Li noticed something. Rather than trying to find a marriage for her third brother, A Niang wanted to help him find something he liked and could do.
Lin Cuicui looked out the window and saw nothing but green. Now that the family had no worries about food and clothing, the third child couldn't just stay at home doing nothing all day.
Does this mean that from now on, the fourth brother will be the only one to support Ali?
Although she knew that Ali was very capable, as a mother, she had already seen some signs. If that was really the case, her family had to be more capable so that Ali could stand up straight.
Soon, the carriage drove into Qingxi County. The streets were particularly busy today, and even the carriages were moving intermittently.
When she was passing by and had some free time, Shen Li lifted the car curtain and took a look. She didn't expect that the business in the store was quite good today.
Soon, the carriage stopped, "Madam, Miss, the carriage can't pass."
There were pedestrians, carriages, and vendors on the street outside, and the several-meter-wide street was completely blocked.
"Mom, sister-in-law, let's go over there. It's not far from here."
"Row."
Shen Changshan and his friends behind also came down, and the family followed the crowd toward the river.
Shen Li looked at the third brother who was still thinking about something, and bought a few candied haws nearby, "Third brother, this is for you."
Shen Yuanzhou took the candied haws, obviously not yet in a daze. Shen Li ignored him and distributed a few strings of candied haws to his eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Because it gets more lively the further you go in that direction, Shen Liding's private room is in the middle, which is a straight avenue. From this position, you can see the dragon boats from beginning to end.
"Boss, we booked a private room."
Shen Li took out the wooden sign. The shopkeeper took it and looked at it carefully, then asked the waiter to take people to the private room.
Opening the window of the private room, you can see the lively scene of the riverside.
It was almost noon now. Shen Li ordered a table of food and the family had a meal outside. The food on the ninth floor was okay, neither good nor bad, just average.
After lunch, the sound of lively gongs and drums came from the riverside. The dragon boat race was about to begin. There were fruits brought by the waiter in the private room, so Shen Li stood by the window with her sister-in-law and others to watch.
After a while, more than a dozen dragon boats slid out with great force amid the cheers of the onlookers.
The little guy in the eldest brother's arms also became excited, raising his little fists and shouting.
Shen Li looked for a while and stopped. Just as she was about to turn around and walk back, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar face downstairs. Why was he here?
Just when I wanted to take another look, the man walked into the crowded crowd and soon even his figure was submerged.
Shen Li was rubbing a fruit in her hand while thinking about other things. When she came back to her senses, the dragon boat race outside had already been decided.
There have been gambling games in the dragon boat races over the years. Many people have participated in the gambling and placed a lot of bets. Those who win are very happy, while those who lose are as sad as if they have lost their parents. There are also those who just want to have fun and don’t place many bets, just for the fun of it.
The family sat in the private room for a while, waiting for the pedestrians outside to disperse, and then they went downstairs and strolled on the street.
The streets were particularly lively today, with all kinds of food, drinks, and entertainment. Shen Li walked and looked, and bought a lot of things.
In the afternoon, they went back first. Shen Li took half a day off. As soon as she entered, she was stopped by Bai Yao.
"Boss, Dr. Mo is waiting for you in the box on the third floor."
It's really him.
"Okay, I'll go check it out and have someone bring in two glasses of fruit drinks."
"it is good."
He came to the private room that Bai Yao mentioned, knocked twice on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.
Sure enough, Mo Qing was sitting in the private room with quite a few empty plates beside him, and it looked like he had eaten a lot.
Shen Li walked over and sat down. "How come Dr. Mo has time to come here?"
Mo Qing answered irrelevantly, "The cakes and fruit drinks here are very good."
"I think so too. If it tastes good, eat more."
He changed the subject, and Shen Li continued talking along with his words. He must have something since he came to her on his own initiative, and it depends on when he wants to talk about it.
"KouKou~"
"Come in."
The waiter brought two glasses of fruit drinks and a few plates of snacks, then left after placing them.
Mo Qing was not polite at all. He picked up a piece of cake and started eating.
Shen Li was not in a hurry either. She picked up a cup of fruit tea and started drinking it. After Mo Qing ate a few snacks, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Aren't you curious about why I came to see you?"
"I'm curious, but if you don't tell me, I can't pry your mouth open."
Mo Qing: “…”
Okay, it turns out that this is what Pei Yu likes, and her personality is quite similar to his.
He picked up the bundle beside him and put it on the table, from which came the sound of porcelain bottles colliding.
"These are some pills I made. I happened to be passing by here this time, so I brought some to you."
When Shen Li opened it, she saw that there was a note on each porcelain bottle, containing antipyretic pills, detoxifying pills, and several bottles of poison and corresponding antidotes.
"Be careful when you use those poisons. Don't accidentally get them on yourself."
Shen Li smiled, tied up the bundle and put it aside, "Well, thank you for Dr. Mo's advice."
Then she stood up and picked up her bag, "Since Dr. Mo is fine, I'll leave first."
"Hey, wait a minute?"
Turning to look at him, he heard Mo Qing speak in a somewhat depressed tone: "Why don't you ask Pei Yu?"
Shen Li looked at him calmly: "Doctor Mo, you are joking. I have no relationship with Mr. Pei now. On what grounds do you ask?"
