Chapter 244 Catch the week
The cruise ship cuts through the water, leaving the blue waves rippling.
Wen Jiayue reached out and touched the soft lake water, feeling a long-lost sense of comfort.
Shen Fuhan glanced at her and instructed, "If you feel unwell, remember to tell me."
Wen Jiayue agreed and continued playing in the water.
Zhao Zhao was having a blast, laughing and splashing water everywhere.
Her hands were small, so only a few drops splashed on her, which was not a big deal.
Wen Jiayue looked at her innocent and naive daughter with a smile, wishing that this moment could last forever.
After half an hour on the boat, the sunlight gradually became dazzling.
The cruise ship docked, and the three disembarked.
Zhao Zhao seemed to still have some unfinished business, nestled in Shen Fuhan's arms, staring longingly at the cruise ship.
But she didn't cry or make a fuss, so Wen Jiayue couldn't tell if she wanted to continue playing or was just curious and wanted to take a look.
However, she can take a boat trip on the lake anytime she wants, and she will bring Zhao Zhao along whenever she wishes.
Wen Jiayue took her daughter's hand and asked, "Does Zhaozhao like it?"
Zhao Zhao nodded vigorously and called out in her childish voice, "Boat!"
"It's too sunny now, let's come again tomorrow," Wen Jiayue said with a smile, "okay?"
Zhao Zhao pondered for a moment and nodded her little head.
After walking for a while, the little guy's excitement wore off, and he became a bit drowsy.
Wen Jiayue whispered, "Zhao Zhao seems to be falling asleep. Should we wake her up?"
Shen Fuhan glanced at his daughter and said, "No need, let her sleep."
Wen Jiayue then asked, "What if Grandmother has someone wake Zhaozhao up later?"
She knew this was something the old lady was capable of doing, which is why she asked the question.
Shen Fuhan said, "I will explain."
Wen Jiayue was no longer worried. Shen Fuhan would take care of everything, and she only needed to be the birthday girl's mother.
Upon arriving at Ninghui Hall, a red cloth was laid out on the rosewood table in the main hall, and all the items for the baby's first birthday celebration were displayed on it.
Wen Jiayue glanced around and saw several exquisite wooden boxes placed to the side.
Shen Fuyou pointed to one of the wooden boxes and said, "This is a birthday gift I gave to Zhaozhao."
“This is mine,” Shen Funian said with a smile. “Happy birthday, Zhaozhao.”
Shen Chengyao quickly added, "Auntie, I also gave a gift to my sister!"
He pointed to the largest box: "But we can't open it now. We'll open it when my sister is the same age as me."
Wen Jiayue was taken aback: "Why?"
Shen Funian asked in bewilderment, "You're being so mysterious. What exactly did you send? Let me see."
Yesterday, her son asked her for a wooden box. She casually gave him a small one, but he wasn't satisfied and wanted the biggest one.
Anyway, there are plenty of these kinds of things, so Shen Funian gave them to her. She never expected that they would be sent over today as a birthday gift.
But she never knew what Yao'er had given her; he protected it and wouldn't let her see it.
"Mother, it wasn't given to you, why do you want to see it?" Shen Chengyao retorted, "Only my sister can see it!"
Wen Jiayue smiled and said, "Okay, okay, we'll see when my little sister grows up."
She guessed they were some little trinkets that Yao'er liked, and didn't think much of it.
Shen Chengyao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Seeing her son's relaxed expression, Shen Funian immediately sensed something was amiss and grabbed the wooden box.
"Mother!" Shen Chengyao exclaimed in alarm, "Don't..."
Before she could even utter the word "look," Shen Funian had already opened it. Upon seeing what was inside, her face turned ashen.
Shen Chengyao screamed and ran outside: "Mom, don't hit me!"
"You little brat, stop right there!"
The mother and son ran off like the wind, leaving Wen Jiayue dumbfounded. She looked down at the wooden box.
It turned out to be several books.
Shen Fuhan replied without any surprise, "That's exactly what he's learning now."
Wen Jiayue: "..."
Did Yao'er think that by giving the book to his sister, he wouldn't have to study anymore?
She sighed, feeling both helpless and amused, unsure of what to say to him.
Hearing the commotion, the old lady arrived late.
She asked with a sullen face, "Why is your daughter making such a fuss so early in the morning? She's three years old and still so disobedient!"
Without distinguishing right from wrong, the blame was placed on Zhao Zhao, and Wen Jiayue's face immediately turned cold.
But on a peaceful day, she didn't want to argue, so she tried to speak calmly.
"Grandmother, Zhao Zhao is sleeping. What's all the fuss about? Besides, she just turned one year old. This is her first birthday celebration!"
In the end, her tone still carried a hint of anger.
The old lady glared at her, then turned to Shen Fuhan and said, "Don't you even care about your wife? Look at how aggressive she is, as if I'm her enemy."
Shen Fuhan said calmly, "It was just an explanation, why is Grandmother overthinking it?"
Seeing that her grandson wouldn't help her, the old lady said sullenly, "I didn't think too much about it. Alright, let's do the first birthday celebration."
The commotion Shen Funian and her son made was too loud; Zhao Zhao has already woken up.
Before she could figure out what was happening, she found herself placed on the table, looking at her father and mother with a bewildered expression.
Wen Jiayue smiled and taught her, "Zhaozhao can take whatever she likes."
The little incident just now didn't affect Wen Jiayue at all; it wasn't the first or second time like this, and she was used to it.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhao thought for a while and then aimed at the bronze mirror.
Everyone thought she was going to choose this, but to their surprise, she just lay down in the mirror and looked at herself, seemingly admiring her own appearance.
Shen Fu said with concern, "Zhao Zhao is so young and already loves beauty. In two years, I will give her rouge."
Wen Jiayue's smile suddenly became somewhat forced. Two years later...
She thought of her past life, but then forcibly put it out of her mind.
This time will be different. Zhao Zhao will be alright, and she will be alright too.
Finally, Zhao Zhao picked up a jade ruyi.
Wen Jiayue came to her senses and was immediately surprised. She remembered that in her previous life, Zhao Zhao picked up a gold ingot during her first birthday celebration.
However, for her, the jade ruyi naturally carries a better meaning.
May everything go smoothly and as you wish.
I don't seek great wealth or high status, I only wish for peace and tranquility.
Wen Jiayue picked up her daughter and kissed her face.
“Our Zhaozhao really knows how to choose.”
Her voice suddenly became choked up, and Shen Fuhan paused, wondering if he had misheard.
When I looked at her, I saw tears welling up in her eyes.
Because there were other people present, Shen Fuhan didn't say anything.
