Chapter 24: Motherly love is like water, fatherly love is like a mountain
When Shang Guan Neng woke up, the sun was already three poles high. The clothes that Xin Yuanyuan had washed for him last night were dry and neatly arranged on his bed. Shang Guan Neng threw off his covers, put on his pants, vest, and slippers, and walked out of the guest room.
"Yuanyuan?" I shouted as I went out, but there was no response. I turned my head to look at the dinner table, where four plates were arranged, with lids on top of each other, and I had no idea what was inside.
He walked up to the table and saw a key next to the plate, with a note underneath. He picked up the key and pulled out the note: "Little brother, I've gone to the cake shop. If the food has gone cold, heat it up in the microwave yourself. The key is for the front door, I'm giving it to you. -Sister"
"Has the house key been given to me?" Shang Guan Neng Ren was slightly surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, he had saved Xin Yu Yuan once last night, and this could be considered as returning a favor!
Fold the paper strip, tie it with the key and put it in your pocket, lift the plate, braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, vegetarian assorted dishes, dumplings, there are plates to cover, reserve a lot of temperature, after opening, the dishes still exude a thread of heat.
"It smells so good!" Shangguan Neng took a deep breath, just about to grab a dumpling with his hands, but suddenly remembered he hadn't washed his hands yet. It seemed that his eggplant had been itchy last night and he had scratched it with his hand.
"Wash, wash, wash, oh oh~"
There are two toothbrushes in the bathroom, one is an ordinary red toothbrush and the other is a pink children's toothbrush. Without asking, it's clear that the ordinary toothbrush belongs to Xin Yuanyuan, and there's still some water on it, so she must have used it this morning.
Shangguan Neng thought for a moment, picked up the children's toothbrush to brush his teeth. Anyway, this little loli might not come back for a few days, so it wouldn't hurt to use it. He would just rinse it a couple more times afterwards.
After washing up, Shangguan Neng sat at the dinner table eating breakfast and thought of last night's events, muttering to himself: "I wonder how that Mother Dragon is doing? That damned little white face only knows how to cause trouble for me."
After finishing dinner, Shang Guan Neng left Xin Yu Yuan's house and originally wanted to go home. However, halfway there, he suddenly remembered that he didn't bring his keys. Yesterday, his father said that today he would go make another copy, so at this time, his parents definitely wouldn't be back yet. Shang Guan Neng helplessly shook his head and went to the cake shop to find Xin Yu Yuan.
The cake shop was as busy as usual, with a constant stream of customers buying sweets. Xin Yuexuan, who had been frightened the day before, was back to normal today, sitting in the cake shop with a warm smile on her face, greeting each customer.
"Rain sister."
"Little brother is here!" Seeing Shang Guan Neng Ren, Xin Yu Yuan's smile became a little softer.
Xin Yuanyuan's condition was good, so Shangguan Neng let out a sigh of relief and smiled: "Sister Yuanyuan, you're in a great mood today! You must have made a lot of money."
Xin Yu smiled and pointed at the official's forehead with her green onion-like index finger: "Little money enthusiast, all you know is money."
"Haha, people die for money!" Upper official Neng smiled and saw that there was no one around, leaned in close to Xin Yuanyuan and whispered: "Yuanyuan sister, seeing you're fine, I can rest assured."
Xin Yu's eyes softened, and she gently stroked the top of Gōng Néng Rén's head with her hand. She smiled and said: "Just now, Commander Xǔ called me on the phone and told me that Wáng Jìng Yǔ has confessed to everything. Moreover, they have obtained a large amount of evidence of his past crimes. He will be sentenced to at least 20 or 30 years of hard labor."
Xin Yuanyuan said that Captain Xu was the female police officer from last night.
"So soon?" Officer Gao was extremely surprised by the news. Last night, he had only asked the female officer to catch the mastermind as soon as possible out of concern for Xin Yuanyuan. He hadn't expected her to be so efficient and crack the case overnight. This morning, he still thought it was a tough nut to crack, but now Officer Gao was deeply impressed: "Police sister, you're amazing!"
"Although Captain Xu is young, he's really capable. I'm considering whether to give Captain Xu a brocade banner?" Xinyu Yuan said softly.
"Send! Must send!" Upper official Neng Ren nodded repeatedly, saying: "This police sister is young and has already become the captain, she must have a big tree behind her back. Even if there is no big tree, such a police officer who fights for the victim with all her might is rare. It's always good to get along with her."
Xin Yuanyuan's eyes were filled with doubt, and he smiled: "Younger brother, how can you think of so many things at such a young age? You don't look like a high school student at all, but rather like an old slickster who has been in society for many years."
Upper official smiled, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, having used YaYaLe toothpaste, his teeth sparkled brightly. He raised his thumb: "As long as you love the internet and study hard every day without rest, eventually, tender shoots will become old slippery fish."
Xin Yu Yuan: "......"
This nonsense answer, Xin Yu Yuan thought that Shang Guan Neng was telling a joke, but Shang Guan Neng's words lingered in her ears, considering how to send this brocade banner.
Shangguan Neng stayed in the cake shop until half past eleven and estimated that his parents would be back soon, so he bid farewell to Xin Yuanyuan.
The danger has been lifted, and although Xin Yuexuan was reluctant to part with him, she still sent Shang Guan Nengren out the door. At the same time, she made sure that he would keep the key safe and visit her home often, whether there was something going on or not, so that in the future it could be his second home.
After last night's events, Xin Yu Yuan really treated Shang Guan Neng Ren as his own younger brother. For anyone, the value of people outside of their relatives lies in whether they can lend a helping hand in times of crisis. Shang Guan Neng Ren's performance last night at least earned him 120 points, his friendship score exploded, and he directly evolved into a familial relationship.
Normally, even the most steadfast love in the world cannot compare to the preciousness of kinship. Love can be bought and sold with money, and requires the payment of so-called romance, but kinship, although it may be as plain as water, and even accompanied by countless quarrels, is something that cannot be exchanged for gold or silver mountains. Blood is thicker than water; love is ultimately a process of emotional fusion between two strangers, and in this process, those who fuse well enter the marriage hall, while those who do not fuse well part ways like migratory birds.
Family ties will never change, even if separated by thousands of miles and mountains, bloodlines are forever connected, until death does not change.
Xin Yu Yuan's feelings for Shang Guan Neng Ren are rare and precious, worthy of Shang Guan Neng Ren's cherishment.
"As long as there's good food, I'll definitely go." Xiang Nengren's face was filled with craving, and Xin Yuexuan couldn't help but laugh. He raised his index finger and lightly tapped his forehead: "You little glutton."
……
It's mid-August now, and Officer Nangong just realized that the Beginning of Autumn has quietly arrived.
A autumn rain, a coldness. Walking on the slightly slippery pedestrian path, Officer Nang noticed that today is much cooler than yesterday, but people on the street are still wearing their summer clothes, especially young women who wear less and less to show off their proud figures, making countless men's eyes gleam with lust and fill their minds with crime.
When Shangguan Neng returned home, his parents were indeed at home. At this moment, his mother was in the kitchen preparing lunch, and Shangguan Yixiao handed him a newly configured house key, saying: "Be more careful in the future, don't lose it again."
"Got it." Shangguan Nengren put the new key and the key to Xin Yuanyuan's house on a keychain, and sat down beside Shangguan Yi.
"Is something wrong?" Upper Officer Yi looked at his somewhat disappointing son and asked calmly.
"There's something." Shangguan Nianjin carefully looked at Shangguan Yi, weighing his words.
Shangguan Yi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Speak."
For over a decade, Father's majesty had been suffocating Officer An, who could hardly breathe. He stammered: "Dad, I'm out of money, can I borrow some from you?"
Shangguan Yi furrowed his brow, his voice becoming slightly heavier: "You're on vacation now, what do you need money for?"
Shangguan didn't make a sound, he wanted money but it wasn't of much use to him, mainly for self-protection, just like salesmen always carry a pack of cigarettes with them, they will come in handy when meeting clients.
Shangguan Nengren last time gave a gift to apologize to BeiBei, and now he only has 50 cents left in his pocket. He was confined at home for the past few days doing homework, so he didn't have a chance to use any money. But now that the confinement is over, whenever he goes out, he inevitably needs to spend some money, such as buying a bottle of soda from a street vendor on a hot day.
Shangguan Neng didn't say a word, but instead let Shangguan Yi's face relax, and with his rough big hands, he pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket. There were two 100-yuan bills, one 50-yuan bill, and the rest were all small notes below 20 yuan.
Shangguan Yi pulled out a 10-yuan note from the middle, hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a 5-yuan note and put them on the tea table, saying: "Don't waste money, prices have gone up again recently, and our family isn't rich either."
"Got it." Seeing Shangguan Yixin gave him money, Shangguan Nian felt grateful in his heart and said, "Thanks, Dad."
Shangguan Yi shook his head, watching the news on TV, and took a sip of tea.
Father is always like this, usually cold and expressionless, but when it comes to the crucial moment, I can see father's care for me.
A mother's love is like water, every moment, every delicate position can feel the deep love of her mother.
A father's love is like a mountain, it can't be seen in ordinary times, but only at critical moments can you feel the thickness of his love.
Shangguan Nian's eyes were slightly moist, although his parents were unremarkable, just ordinary people among the masses, but the love they gave him was the purest and most intoxicating in the world.
In the past, I didn't live up to expectations and worried my parents to death, but from now on... I definitely will!
"Son is back!" At this time, the mother brought a bowl of cooked liangpi over and saw Nangong Yiren with a kind smile on her face, saying: "Didn't give Rain sister trouble yesterday?"
"That can't be!" Officer Nangong turned his head to wipe the corners of his eyes and gave his mother a bright smile, saying: "Mom, are we having liangpi for lunch? Is the sauce ready?"
"Are you hungry? Hehe, I just cut up some tomatoes. Mom will go cook them now." said the mother with a smile.
"Mom, take a rest! I'll do it!" Xiang Nengren got up and rushed to the kitchen. His mother was surprised: "Son, can you?"
In the past, Officer Guo had never entered the kitchen and had only touched a cleaver a few times. Even when he did touch a cleaver, it was because he couldn't find the small knife to sharpen his pencil, so he used the cleaver instead. After using it, he wouldn't even clean it properly, for which his mother often scolded him.
