Daily life of civil servants in the prefectural government

Stayed in the hot spring villa for one night, the next day Jiang Yuecheng came to Su Xiyan in a hurry, saying that he found a tortoise paste that was said to help shells heal quickly [cross out], shell paste, maybe it can speed up the process. The scallop recovered quickly, so the two drove Harley to the lake again.

They saw the smoke rising from a long distance away, and Jiang Yuecheng was worried.

"Su Xiyan, won't your wife grill my scallops?"

Su Xiyan: "Not necessarily, he quite likes seafood."

"Ah?" Jiang Yuecheng turned his head in horror, the round helmet almost hit Su Xiyan's head, and he slapped him back.

Su Xiyan: "Drive your car well, and you'll know if there's anything wrong if you go there quickly."

"oh qwq"

Seeing the words "you are so fierce" clearly written on Jiang Yuecheng's face, Su Xiyan felt a little dizzy. She didn't know why bringing Jiang Yuecheng always had the feeling of helping to raise children at relatives' homes during the Chinese New Year when she was a child.

Turning the intersection, there was a fire in the place facing the shelter of the lake, and a familiar person was sitting in front of the fire with his back to them, roasting something.

Before Su Xiyan saw what was on the grill, he heard Jiang Yuecheng whimpered and rushed out like a hungry tiger.

"My shell, you died so badly!"

Su Xiyan: ...

Anyway, everyone is considered a colleague, so we can't watch him die.Su Xiyan stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Yuecheng quickly, just before Cui Zhao kicked Jiang Yuecheng into the air, and fished him back.

After being trapped in the shell for a day, Cui Zhao didn't seem to have changed much, except that the sleeves of his clothes were a little damaged, but his spirit looked good.Su Xiyan nodded in satisfaction, it seems that he should have suffered nothing.

Cui Zhao looked at Su Xiyan and Jiang Yuecheng who were sticking behind him, and frowned unhappily. After watching for two seconds, he turned his head with a cold snort, and put on an appearance of ignoring others, but his body quietly moved to the side Moved a bit, removing a spot where one could sit.

Su Xiyan secretly laughed, and sat down beside Cui Zhao in a very dignified manner.

The grill is full of aromas, and I don’t know where Cui Zhao got the barbecue equipment. The iron frame and iron plate, as well as chili oil and pepper powder and a small brush, are full of posture.

There are half shellfish on the grill, as well as some river prawns and crabs, with a fish sticking upright on the side.It's already sizzling at this moment, and it looks like it's ready to eat right away.

Su Xiyan sniffed it, and honestly picked a shrimp that was almost grilled, and was shot down by Cui Zhao before he touched it.

"Not yet. Roast for a while. This kind of wild river fish should be cooked to avoid parasites."

Su Xiyan touched her hand that didn't hurt at all, and laughed, and secretly handed over a small catnip pudding, which was made in the manor's kitchen.It's just like ordinary pudding, but he sprinkled some catnip in it, Cui Zhao should like it.

I have to mention that it is good that the kitchen is big, and all the kitchen utensils are prepared, so you can do whatever you want.Standing inside, there is a sense of sight that I am a chef.

Cui Zhao's mouth puffed up, he accepted Su Xiyan's goodwill to him, and generously decided to forgive him for not coming to see him earlier.A prawn that had been placed earlier was supposed to be cooked, Cui Zhao picked it up and handed it to Su Xiyan's mouth, but found that he was obviously thinking about something else.

The warm feeling at the corner of his mouth brought Su Xiyan back to his senses, he opened his mouth without even thinking about it, and swallowed the shelled shrimp first.

The outside is charred and the inside is tender, Cui Zhao's barbecue skills are superb!Su Xiyan raised her thumbs up appreciatively, expecting to see Cui Zhao raise her head proudly, but unexpectedly got a question.

Cui Zhao: "What were you thinking just now?"

Su Xiyan: "I'm thinking about the kitchen in the manor. They have a complete set of kitchen utensils, so it's convenient to do anything you want."

"What do you envy them for?" Cui Zhao asked in surprise, "You can buy it if you want."

Su Xiyan gave him a blank look. This guy had never used the kitchen at all before, and he didn't expect this guy to know the joy of collecting a full set of kitchen utensils.

"Our kitchen space is too small to fit it in." It was originally used as an office kitchen, how big can you expect it to be?The size of the balcony is already very good.

Cui Zhao said: "It doesn't matter, you can break through the wall next to it, then the place will be bigger."

Su Xiyan replied without hesitation: "Then where do I sleep?"

The room after the wall was opened is Cui Zhao's lounge. Because the space of the large living room has to be moved, that room is much smaller than Cui Zhao's room, but it is still okay for sleeping.

Cui Zhao was serious: "Sleep with me."

Su Xiyan: ...

He suddenly felt a little hot in his ears, and his throat was tight when he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Cui Zhao also looked quite nervous, Su Xiyan could see his ears pricked up secretly, but he still had a calm look on his face, and even reached out to grab Su Xiyan's hand.

The palms were hot and humid, slightly sweaty.

Su Xiyan let him hold her hand, and the two of them sat upright on the simple seat made of stones, wishing they could straighten their little hands on their knees like a primary school student.

At this moment, the sound of rustling footsteps came from the place covered by the stone in front.

"Small shells, yellow in the ground, catching the same kind, looking for firewood... woo woo woo..."

The immature voice was accompanied by aggrieved sobs, Su Xiyan tilted his head in surprise, and Cui Zhao mouthed "scallop essence" at him.

Is this the style of the scallop essence?

The image of a nagging mother-in-law has been solidified from Jiang Yuecheng's description, but now the reality seems to be a bit different, Su Xiyan couldn't help but focus on looking at it.

A face of Zhengtai, whose nose and eyes were red from crying, protruded from behind the stone.He couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that there was another person in front of the grill, and then he was startled by Cui Zhao's sharp eyes, and almost lost the firewood in his hand.

Seeing his bewildered look, Su Xiyan somehow felt a little familiar.

Then they heard a familiar whining sound, and someone who had been neglected behind them jumped out, flew over and embraced Zhengtai.

One cried, "Little scallop, you're fine, I'm worried about you", and the other cried, "Little Mermaid, why did you come here, I'm about to be bullied to death, woo woo woo"...

All of a sudden, there was a loud cry.

Su Xiyan and Cui Zhao couldn't help saying at the same time: "Shut up."

The crying stopped instantly, and the two of them looked over timidly with two big painted faces, Scallop Jing didn't stop the brakes and broke down crying, and then immediately covered her mouth in fright.

Su Xiyan: ...

In this situation, why do parents act like they are teaching their children a lesson?

Bah, who are their parents!

Shaking the unrealistic things out of their heads, Su Xiyan asked them to sit down very gently, and shared a shrimp with each of them.After all, we will all be colleagues in the future, and we need to get along well.

He withdrew his hand from Cui Zhao very naturally, and the topic just now was completely ignored.

Cui Zhao's face was as heavy as iron, but he didn't say much, and let Su Xiyan distribute the prawns he had finally baked.

Jiang Yuecheng and Scallop Jing held the shrimp and looked at each other tremblingly. Both of them are marine creatures, and they are related to the food chain with cats, and they are born to be restrained.Not to mention that Cui Zhao's skills were much stronger than theirs, and the two demons ate very cautiously under his pressure.

Scallop Essence: Little Mermaid, a big monster, is so fierce!

Jiang Yuecheng: I'm also afraid of Little Shell, but the human next to him is his husband, so we should be fine.

Scallop Essence: Huh?Are the two males together?

Jiang Yuecheng: Isn't that normal?Didn't you still want to snatch the big monster over to be my daughter-in-law?

Jiang Yuecheng couldn't help shaking when his eyes reached this point. He said that he really didn't have the guts of Su Xiyan to attack such a big monster.He didn't even understand how the scallop spirit fell in love with Cui Zhao, was he blind to aesthetics?

Scallop: qwq I saw his prototype is super cute, so I just...

Jiang Yuecheng: ... Next time, let's take a closer look before we start.No, let's not do it next time, shall we?I really have no shortage of girls to like!

Scallop Jing nodded obediently, and vowed firmly in her heart that next time she must find someone who is cuter and more suitable for Little Mermaid.

He wants to hug little fish QWQ

In such a strange atmosphere, the barbecue was carried out in harmony. Except that the amount was too small and everyone was not full, it was great together.

Maybe it was good luck, and before the grilled fish in his hand was finished, good news came from the police station.It is said that the family of the victim girl has been found and is now under investigation.

The progress of the case cheered everyone up. Scallop Jing took a special water hyacinth and stuffed the little girl's soul into it. A group of people borrowed a car and followed along.

When he arrived at the gate of the police station, he bumped into the boy with the baby face from last time. He didn't expect Su Xiyan and the others to bring two people with them, and among those two was a child who didn't look very old.

Considering the old director's repeated exhortations, he still brought them in.

In a room separated by a layer of glass, a middle-aged man who looked honest and honest was taking notes.

"She is my daughter, named Wenwen, she is six years old and in the second grade."

"We usually go to work, and her grandpa goes to work in the fields, and her grandma helps to watch her. Some time ago, her grandma was sick and sent to the hospital, and there was no one there. I had to ask the children in the village to help watch her and take care of her. She goes to school together."

The policeman asked, "Then why didn't you call the police when the child disappeared?"

There was silence for a while, and the middle-aged man lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Wenwen was born a fool, she can't teach her how to teach, she can only say her name and one, two, three, and even her parents sometimes call it wrong."

"In a family like ours, there is no money in the family, and it is impossible to send her to a good hospital. It can only be raised like this. But when the child grows up, it will cost more and more money. Some time ago, her grandmother had to Going to the city for surgery, we really..."

"At that time, I thought that even if someone picked her up, it would be better than continuing to follow us."

After finishing speaking, he quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, the palms of his hands after a long work were rough and covered with yellow calluses.

Seeing this, the questioning policeman couldn't help but sigh, and he patted the middle-aged man on the back, as if to comfort him.The baby-faced boy who was with Su Xiyan and the others couldn't help but sigh, and the circles of his eyes were slightly red.

"He lied!"

A childish voice resounded firmly, and Su Xiyan lowered her head just in time to see Scallop Jing glaring at the people inside furiously.

Jiang Yuecheng stopped him with great difficulty, and then quietly hinted to Su Xiyan that Scallop King has a special ability to distinguish people's hearts.This ability is almost useless in the seabed, but in the human world, he can easily use this ability to distinguish whether what the other party said is true or not.

When they first entered the society, the two of them relied on this ability to avoid many traps, otherwise they would have been taken to sell by weight based on their silly and sweet looks.

Su Xiyan and Cui Zhao nodded slightly to show their knowledge.The baby-faced boy was a little annoyed, he squatted down, and told Scallop Jing in a gentle voice.

"Little friend, you can't make random conclusions. We police uncles will judge whether the people inside are telling the truth or not. Don't make trouble, okay?"

The scallop spirit pouted and said nothing, but he could see that the baby-faced boy had good intentions, so he didn't say anything, and even allowed the human to rub his head.

Because he thinks he and he are quite tender =v=

Su Xiyan reached out to take the water hyacinth in Scallop Jing's hand. After the transformation, the water hyacinth looked like a delicate toy for children. It was small and transparent, with a few green leaves wrapped around it.

It looks ordinary, but in fact it contains at least a ton of water, which is a strange storage container.

In this water hyacinth, a small figure also shrinks and lies on the side.She leaned against the wall of the gourd, her eyes fixed on the middle-aged man inside.

Su Xiyan heard her yelling in a low voice: "Dad".

The inquiries inside were quickly finished, and the middle-aged man walked out of it with a dazed expression.Su Xiyan thought for a while, and walked over to stop him.

"Excuse me, are you Wenwen's father?"

"I am, you..." The middle-aged man looked over suspiciously.

The baby-faced boy was in a hurry, he was afraid that these ignorant outsiders would ask something indiscriminately and cause harm to the family members.He hurriedly wanted to go up to stop them, but unexpectedly, Cui Zhao directly grabbed him and held him in place.

Su Xiyan took out a glass bottle and handed it to the middle-aged man. He silently took it and squeezed it in his hands, his hands trembling slightly.

It was a very ordinary glass bottle, left over from canned food, with a certain brand of mango on it.The bottle was washed very clean, and there were a few small pieces of paper scattered inside.

It seems that they want to fold into small stars, but due to poor technology, the stack is messy, and only a few edges and corners can be seen.

"This is left by Wenwen. Their teacher taught them to stack the stars. She said she would give one to mom and dad, as well as grandparents."

"Wenwen is a very well-behaved little girl, isn't she?"

The middle-aged man raised his head, his cloudy eyes met Su Xiyan, tears rolled down his eyes, and finally he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"My Wenwen, it's dad who's sorry for you."

He fell to the ground, crying so hard that he couldn't even stand up.The baby-faced boy also felt that something was wrong, and he stepped forward to help him up, but unexpectedly the middle-aged man grabbed his hand and cried out the truth.

"Dad shouldn't have pushed you down, it's Dad who's sorry for you!..."

The old man who had just finished taking notes in another room ran out, trembling all over, trying to pull him up.

"It's not my son, it's me, I did it. It's me who did such a beastly thing..."

Everyone froze in place, watching the father and son cry and slowly tell the truth of the matter.The truth was so shocking that no one had the intention to speak for a while.

Su Xiyan lowered her head and looked at Wenwen who was happily slapping the wall in the water hyacinth.She stared at the father and son, with only the joy of reunion after a long absence in her eyes, which was clear to the bottom.

She was shouting: "Daddy... Grandpa..."

Su Xiyan lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.The mind-confusing technique in puppetry is just one move to vomit out all the thoughts and past hidden in the bottom of my heart.

Puppetry has never been evil, the difference is how to use them.

The people in the police station acted in an orderly manner in silence. They took the father and son away, took them to make a record again, and temporarily detained them according to the law.

Soon the truth will surface, and Wenwen should go to the underworld too.

Su Xiyan and the others left quietly. Although the baby-faced boy saw them, he didn't stop them. He had to go to work.Wenwen's case was originally in his hands. Together with his colleagues, he asked every household in the village a little bit, and this time they found the middle-aged man.

I just didn't expect that the truth of this case would be so cold.

But people's hearts are not cold yet.

After walking out of the police station, watching the busy voice inside, Scallop Jing suddenly picked up the water hyacinth and said seriously:

"Wenwen, you are a little angel, the cutest little angel I have ever seen."

The little girl sitting inside the water hyacinth couldn't understand what he was saying, but she still smiled sweetly at him.

She is indeed an angel, blessed by good luck, that's why she was picked up by the scallop spirit, and she also received a fish scale from Jiang Yuecheng as a gift.

Su Xiyan reached out and touched Scallop Jing's small head.

"Let's send her to reincarnation. In the next life, she will have a good life."

"kindness."

The scallop spirit nodded vigorously, and she had no resistance in her heart to the errand that Cui Zhao asked him to do to send ghosts to reincarnate.

He can accumulate merit and do good deeds, he is really a super cute animal!
