Chapter 58: Hot ears
Su Xiaoxiao said to Sun: "There is indeed no bitter barley here, but there are orange trees."
It turns out that this area is the orange grove that Su Xiaoxiao has been looking for before. The orange grove that the fruit dealer gave up before, and now she has found it.
"But we can't sell it to Ci'an Tang even if we don't have the bitter barley!"
Sun said looking very anxious.
As a result, Su Xiaoxiao said: "Ci'antang no longer collects bitter barley outside. They have a separate purchase channel. More and more people know about this now, and the bitter barley in this season can no longer be used as medicine."
When Su Xiaoxiao told the reason, Sun finally understood.
Now this patch of orange trees is a business opportunity. Su Xiaoxiao confidently said to Sun: "In the future, I will make good use of these fruit trees that no one wants and make orange jam."
The two of them picked two baskets of oranges and went back. When they went down the mountain, they met Granny Liu and Li Dongmei. They were both disgraced and covered in dirt. Granny Liu seemed to have fallen. She and Li Dongmei glared at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that there was nothing in their baskets. It was probably because they didn't find the bitter barley or anything else.
Granny Liu saw that Su Xiaoxiao and Mrs. Sun's baskets were full of oranges.
When she saw it, she curled her lips and said, "What's so delicious about this thing? Why did you pick so many of it?"
Su Xiaoxiao ignored them. Just as she was going down the mountain, she saw several pheasants leisurely looking for food under a big tree.
Grandma Liu and Li Dongmei also saw it, and they were about to bend over and beat the pheasant to death.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao took the lead, swung the slingshot in her hand, and fired five bullets in a row, killing all five pheasants that were looking for food.
Granny Liu and Li Dongmei next to them were dumbfounded. Is it so powerful? The two of them were pouting and preparing to pounce on the pheasants, but they were beaten to the spot by Su Xiaoxiao.
"It just so happens that Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law has just given birth to a baby and needs nutrition. I will give her one as a gift. Saburo is also not in good health..."
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Mrs. Sun couldn't help but praise Su Xiaoxiao, "Awesome, sister."
Granny Liu and Li Dongmei gained nothing, they just waved their sleeves and walked away.
Sun gave Su Xiaoxiao the basket of oranges she picked. Su Xiaoxiao wanted to take away a pheasant for Sun, but Sun refused.
Su Xiaoxiao took the pheasant to Aunt Wang's home.
"Aunt Wang, these are the two pheasants I just shot. You can make soup for my daughter-in-law. The child needs milk now and something to replenish her body."
Aunt Wang was deeply moved. She looked at the pheasant and then at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "My child, I always said that you didn't get along in the village. I really deserve to die!"
Aunt Wang wanted to slap herself, but Su Xiaoxiao quickly stopped her.
Aunt Wang's eyes became moist, and she said very emotionally: "When I was in the most critical moment, only you, Xiaoxiao, stepped forward and saved the lives of my daughter-in-law and granddaughter. You are the great benefactor of our family!" "
Su Xiaoxiao said quickly: "Auntie, no matter what you say, this is what I should do. Then Auntie, I will leave first. If you have anything, just go to my house to find me."
Su Xiaoxiao was afraid that others would be so polite to her. Although she deserved those thanks, that wouldn't work.
"Xiaoxiao, I'll send you some red eggs later!"
Aunt Wang shouted behind Su Xiaoxiao.
After returning home and seeing Sanlang's face again, Su Xiaoxiao blushed for no reason. "This is the pheasant I shot. I'll stew it for you later to replenish your health."
Su Xiaoxiao tried not to look at Sanlang. At this time, two children also ran over. They saw the pheasant in Su Xiaoxiao's hands, grabbed one very skillfully and ran to the kitchen.
Dabao also said: "Mom, wait for me to boil hot water for you to perm your hair."
"Be good, Dabao is so sensible."
Su Xiaoxiao was hiding from Sanlang a little. Although this discovery made her a little discouraged, she just couldn't control it now.
Su Xiaoxiao went back to the kitchen to cook for the children. She was still going to make noodle soup for the children at noon today.
It happened that Aunt Wang had just come over and brought her red eggs. Su Xiaoxiao thought that she could use the eggs to make some egg soup first, and then put some gnocchi in it.
Sanlang walked over gently and asked Su Xiaoxiao a little strangely: "What's wrong with you? You don't even look at me. Did I offend you somewhere?"
Su Xiaoxiao's ears still feel hot when she thinks of the scene that happened this morning. "I'm fine. You go and get ready. Let's have pimple soup for lunch today."
As Su Xiaoxiao said this, he pushed Sanlang out of the kitchen without explanation. Dabao was looking at Su Xiaoxiao blankly at this time.
After a while, the child actually said directly: "Mom, I know that Saburo actually likes you."
"What?"
Su Xiaoxiao was ladling water into the pot when she saw Dabao standing alone on the threshold, talking to her seriously.
"Children, do you know what you like and don't like?"
"No, I understand too. Just like I like my sister Xiaobao, Sanlang likes my mother to kiss you."
Dabao was talking with tears in his eyes.
"I know that dad will not come back. If he knows Izumi, he will definitely want someone to take care of my mother and us. Saburo is that person."
Su Xiaoxiao was moved after hearing this. She walked over and held Dabao in her arms.
Dabao's thoughts are very simple, "Dabao, don't worry, even if no man comes to take care of mother in the future, I will still love you and Xiaobao. Mother said that no matter what happens, I will love you and Xiaobao and take care of you." Yours."
"Well, Dabao knows what my mother is thinking."
He went into the house very obediently.
After Su Xiaoxiao made the noodle soup, she also went into the house with bowls and chopsticks.
When she entered the room, she was thinking, she is a killer, why is she so soft-hearted like now? This is a bit strange.
But when she meets such an angel-like child, can she say that she has always been hard-hearted like the original owner?
Unless she didn't take it seriously, Su Xiaoxiao felt that she couldn't do it.
In such a comparison, the original owner is more like a cold-blooded killer than himself. Facing such two innocent children, he can cruelly abuse them. It is really callous.
After entering the house, Sanlang quickly took the noodle soup from Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said in a coquettish tone: "It smells so good. I'm starving to death. Xiaoxiao, let me serve the noodle soup for you."
Sanlang very considerately helped everyone put the pimple soup into bowls, and blew hot air into Su Xiaoxiao's bowl.
