Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 19: Sour plum soup



"Oh, I can't catch people, and my mother is even more worried. She will definitely not let me out." Su Qingluo sighed while holding her small face.

"Let's live a little longer then."

The little chick is very considerate: "Anyway, the gold mine can't escape, and it won't be too late to go after catching the bandits."

"Oh, that's the only way to go."

Su Qingluo lowered her head, listless: "Fortunately, it's close to the river bank, so I can sneak out to play in the water from time to time, otherwise I'd be stuck at home every day, and I'd be bored to death."

"Master, I'm going to go around the mountains and pick some herbs and come back."

The little kingfisher was very playful, couldn't hold back for a moment, flapped its small wings a few times, found an excuse, and flew away again.

"A guy who has no loyalty, just knows to sneak out to play alone."

Su Qingluo watched the little chick fly away enviously, and closed the window sadly.

Since you have nothing to play, let's sleep!

She is also a baby who has not yet grown up. Sleeping is good for bone growth, and a reasonable nap can make her grow taller.

"Sister Yu, the sour plum soup is ready."

Li Xiu'e came to the little daughter's bedroom with the boiled sour plum soup, looked at the sleeping little man lying on the bed through the window, smiled and shook his head, and returned to the kitchen with the tray.

She poured a full pot of sour plum soup into a clean wooden barrel, and walked to the well with the wooden barrel.

The sour plum soup was cooled by the well water, so it was refreshing and cool, and it was just right to drink when Sister Yu woke up.

As she thought to herself, her hands quickened their movements, hanging the wooden barrel with a rope, sinking into the well, and floating on the water surface.

After putting away the wooden barrel, she went back to the kitchen to clean up the pots and pans until everything was tidied up. After taking the needle and thread, I sat in the shade of the yard to embroider the handkerchief.

Her needlework is very good, with fine stitches and bright colors, and she is very popular among ladies. Before Sister Yu came to this house, she used embroidered handkerchiefs to subsidize her family.

Although her family has improved in recent years, she has not let go of this craft. She has nothing to do and embroiders a few handkerchiefs and purses for her eldest daughter and son who have already gone to school.

***********

Su Qingluo fell asleep until evening, and when she woke up, the kitchen was already lit with smoke, and Li Xiu'e started to make dinner.

As the sun set, Su Hu came back from hunting with the hunters in the village, walked down the hillside talking and laughing, and warmly greeted the villagers sitting under the old pagoda tree at the entrance of the village, enjoying the shade and chatting.

"Boy from the Su family, what did you catch today?"

The grey-haired old village chief knocked his cigarette stick on his heels, and walked out of his yard with his hands behind his back, with smiling eyes, he kept looking into Su Hu's back basket.

"Not much, I got a rabbit to honor your old man and beat the teeth."

Su Hu unloaded the pannier from his shoulders, took out the gray-haired hare with great insight, and stuffed it into the arms of the village chief.

The hare was still alive, pinched off his right leg, and kept shrinking in pain.

"Haha, the Su family boy is capable."

The old village chief grinned from ear to ear, and didn't forget to talk about the business: "Your sister Qiao has already contacted you about going to school in the county. Mingshui College is the best college in our county."

"Thank you, village chief, for making you worry."

Su Hu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and his excited words did not form a sentence: "Tomorrow, I will go to Furong Town again, and buy a few jars of good wine to honor you."

"People in the countryside are all family members, so don't be so polite."

The old village chief smiled while holding the rabbit: "It's your Qiaojie who is doing her best. She passed the examination as a scholar at the age of thirteen. She is the first female scholar in Woniu Village in a hundred years. In the future, she will pass the county examination and be admitted as a female officer. It is also the glory of our entire Woniu Village."

"Hey, please tell me that Qiaojie will be promising in the future, let her respect you." Su Hu was elated when he heard that, and he kept being silly.
