Su Sanlang looked at Mrs. Zhao and said, "My dear, it's not dark yet, so those traps won't take much time."
Ms. Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Dad, please be careful on the road."
After saying that, Mrs. Zhao told her two sons: "Brother Hua and Brother Chong must listen to their father, you know?"
Su Chong and Su Hua nodded in confusion.
They will be obedient.
Su Sanlang went to wash the rice and light the fire, then took Su Chong and Su Hua out.
Su Sanmei looked at the fire obediently.
Mrs. Zhao patted Su Xiaolu, fed her and said softly: "Fourth sister, sleep well. Mom can tidy up the cotton."
Su Xiaolu smacked her lips, blinked her eyes and fell asleep obediently.
Over the past few days, Ms. Zhao's condition was much better than before. Her family was not rich, and she would be anxious if she did nothing.
When sewing clothes or something, just sit on the bed. It's not too tiring to move your hands. She will also watch and let Zhao rest every once in a while.
And she also sank her consciousness into the space to absorb the spiritual energy.
Mrs. Zhao felt relieved when she saw that Su Xiaolu was obedient. She couldn't help but laugh at herself for speaking so stupidly to her little daughter.
Mrs. Zhao didn't have time to think too much, so she started to pack the cotton.
Ordinary cotton has not been carefully selected, and there will still be some needles and other things in it.
She picked out those and threw them away so that the clothes would be more comfortable to wear.
After she tidied up for a while, Su Xiaolu would make some noise, and Mrs. Zhao would have to rest for a while. If she didn't rest, Su Xiaolu would cry.
Zhao had no choice but to take a tea break for half an hour. Looking at Su Xiaolu's well-behaved appearance, she couldn't help but murmur: "Fourth sister, are you feeling sorry for mother? I don't know why, but mother always thinks you are very sensible.
But you are just a baby, how can you understand? Maybe you are not used to your mother not being around you."
Su Xiaolu stayed close to Mrs. Zhao obediently, neither crying nor making trouble.
Mrs. Zhao smiled again and said, "But I believe that you feel sorry for me and want to let your mother rest."
Su Xiaolu opened her eyes and looked at Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Su Xiaolu's smart eyes and couldn't help but come over and kiss Su Xiaolu's cheek: "Fourth sister's eyes are so beautiful."
If Su Xiaolu could speak, she would also tell Mrs. Zhao that her eyes are so gentle.
Everyone in the family makes her feel very warm.
Mrs. Zhao rested for a while and continued to pack cotton.
Su Sanmei cooked the rice, turned off the fire, and came to help clean it up. It was not until it was completely dark and all the cotton was cleaned up that Ms. Zhao said worriedly, "Why don't you come back?"
Just as he was talking, there was a sound from outside.
"My dear, I'm back."
Listening to Su Sanlang's voice, Ms. Zhao felt relieved and said to Su Sanmei with a smile: "Sanmei, go get water for your father to wash his hands and eat."
"Okay."
Su Sanmei quickly got out of bed and went out.
It was really too late today, so Su Sanlang said apologetically to the three children: "Can the egg daddy make it for you tomorrow?"
Su Chong and Su Hua were greedy, but they still remembered what they said not long ago. They shook their heads and said, "No, give it to my little sister."
Su Sanmei also said: "Dad, we won't eat. When the hens lay eggs again tomorrow, we can cook poached eggs for my mother."
Su Sanlang smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Su Sanmei didn't know that chickens don't lay eggs every day. Su Sanlang looked at her shining eyes and couldn't bear to tell her this.
Su Sanlang first delivered food to Mrs. Zhao before going out to eat.
Su Sanmei was sitting on a small stool with her two brothers eating, eating slowly. Seeing Su Sanlang come out, Su Sanmei said, "Dad, will I take my eldest and second brothers to catch bugs tomorrow?"
Su Sanlang thought for a while and shook his head: "Brother Chong and Brother Hua will dig up the soil with their father tomorrow. We can't catch bugs with you. You can just catch them."
The firewood business cannot be done, and the traps set may not necessarily yield results. The most important thing in the family is the land.
The four acres of land in the back mountain had been abandoned for a long time and were thin and dry. He had to dig it out and sow some vegetable seeds to cultivate the land in the winter.
Although the two sons are mentally retarded, they are still half grown up and can be considered as half a labor force.
And Ms. Zhao also needs someone by her side, so it would be just right for Su Sanmei to take care of Ms. Zhao and her children.
Su Sanmei listened and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I will catch a lot of food for our chickens."
Su Sanlang smiled gently.
Not long after the meal, the family washed up and went to bed.
Early the next morning, Su Sanlang got up first to dig the ground.
Mrs. Zhao also followed suit. She measured Su Sanlang last night and was ready to cut cloth.
There were no scissors at home, so she asked Su Sanlang to give her the sickle in advance.
Su Sanmei was sleeping soundly next to Su Xiaolu.
The two sons were also sleeping soundly in the other bed.
Zhao's hands and feet are very light, but she works quickly and attentively.
Su Xiaolu just sighed and did not disturb Mrs. Zhao. She knew that as long as the family was better off, Mrs. Zhao would not be so anxious.
The weather was getting colder, and there weren't many things at home. Let Zhao lie down for a month or two, and her heart would burn to death.
Since everyone was working hard, she couldn't be idle either. Su Xiaolu struggled hard to get her little hands out. If she couldn't feed Zhao, she should give her diligent and lovely third sister some spiritual spring water.
Without enough food and clothing, Su Sanmei was also thin, with yellow and frizzy hair. Su Xiaolu put his hand into Su Sanmei's mouth, and the spiritual spring water moistened Su Sanmei's mouth.
Su Sanmei didn't know anything in her sleep, she just swallowed the sweetness in her mouth unconsciously.
After feeding some, Su Xiaolu took her little hand back. Her third sister loved her so much that if she woke up and saw Jae Yun sucking her little sister's finger, she would be scared.
After doing all this, Su Xiaolu will sink his consciousness into space to cultivate.
She estimated that the time was almost up, so she came out to cry and let Zhao rest.
Hearing the cry, Su Sanmei woke up, quickly reached out and patted Su Xiaolu and coaxed softly: "Fourth sister, be good and don't cry."
As soon as Mrs. Zhao saw that Su Sanmei had woken up, she said, "Third sister, please coax the fourth sister, and my mother will cut it soon."
Su Xiaolu flattened her mouth to gather strength, and let out a loud and aggrieved cry: "Wow-wow-"
Su Sanmei was startled and immediately at a loss.
Su Chong and Su Hua were both awakened by the crying.
Su Sanlang who was on the mountain behind the back room was startled. He looked at the sky and realized it was time to make breakfast. Su Sanlang put down his hoe and came back.
Before she even entered the room, she asked: "My dear, what's wrong with the fourth sister? Why are you crying so loudly?"
Mrs. Zhao quickly put down the cloth in her hand and went to hug Su Xiaolu. While coaxing her, she replied to Su Sanlang's words: "Daddy, I don't know. Maybe he woke up and didn't look at me."
Mrs. Zhao patiently coaxed her and wanted to breastfeed Su Xiaolu, but Su Xiaolu refused, her face turned red from crying, and Mrs. Zhao suddenly didn't know what to do.
