Chapter 922: Daily Life Before Dragon Boat Festival
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi walked over and sat down beside Su Li, ready to unwrap the zongzi in her bowl.
She served herself and her two sons each a zongzi to taste, but as for Su Le, she decided to give her just a symbolic taste. Su Le was still too young, and Gu Zi believed that children under ten shouldn’t eat overly sticky foods, as it wouldn’t be good for their digestive health.
She had thought that with Su Li’s hearty appetite, he would have devoured a good portion by now, but to her surprise, he hadn’t even started eating. Concerned, she asked, “Do you need Mom to help you unwrap it?”
Su Li shook his head and sat up straight, determinedly beginning to peel the zongzi himself. “Mom, I can do it myself. You’ve worked hard already. If you do everything, you’ll wear yourself out. We were waiting for you to come so we could eat together as a family.” Then, with a curious tone, he added, “By the way, when will Dad be back?”
Gu Zi hadn’t expected Su Li to mention Su Shen. In the past, Su Shen had a low presence in Su Li’s mind; as long as he wasn’t home, Su Li rarely brought him up. This time, however, it seemed that Su Shen had been making an effort, as Su Li’s relationship with him had evidently improved.
Gu Zi was pleased to see this development but didn’t know when Su Shen would return. Still, she wasn’t worried because he had promised to come back before the Dragon Boat Festival, and he had never gone back on his word. “Dad might come back tonight. He’ll definitely be here to celebrate the festival with us,” she reassured Su Li.
Su Li nodded and took a small bite of the zongzi, mimicking how his mother had done it. The glutinous rice was chewy but not overly sticky; it was soft and fragrant, bursting with savory flavor and leaving a subtle sweetness behind.
Su Li was immediately captivated by the taste and took a larger bite. “This is delicious! It’s the best food in the world, Mom!”
