Su Xingyi was flattered. "Then I'll stand up first, and you guys put up the sunshade."
Xiao Lingyu pressed his shoulder and said, "Just sit there, no need to get up."
Su Ningan suddenly said, "Mom, my dad seems to have always been this fair and has never been tanned."
Su Ningjie agreed: "Yes, Dad can't get tanned, but I can get tanned."
"Second brother, I put rouge on you, you can't get tanned."
Su Ningjie touched his face and asked, "Really?"
"There's a white porcelain bottle in the main room with the words 'Face Washing Water' written on it. Wash your face with it and then with clean water. Then look in the mirror and you'll know."
Su Ningjie, "Then I'll go wash it now."
Soon, Xiao Lingyu and Su Ningan placed the sunshade on the wheelchair.
"Xingyi, is it not so hot if you block some of the sunlight?"
Su Xingyi looked up at the sunshade, then at the new clothes he was wearing. They were all made by Xiao Lingyu. She cared about him as much as she cared about her own children. He liked this warm feeling very much.
"It's not so hot anymore, so I can sit in the sun instead of in the shade."
Xiao Lingyu: "..." Why is he so stupid?
"It only blocks some of the sunlight, it's not sun protection. You still have to go to the shade to cool down. Otherwise, if you get heatstroke, I won't be responsible... And the four of you, don't go out in the sun unless necessary. Go wherever is cooler, okay?"
Xiao Xier said hurriedly: "We are not that stupid."
The other three little ones: "Yes."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Yes, mother knows you are very smart."
Su Ningjie glanced at the sky and asked, "What should we feed Uncle He and the others tonight?"
Xiao Lingyu thought that they had been eating pheasants and rabbits these days, and it was time to change their taste. "Give them a pound of pork, two fish, and some vegetables. Tonight we'll close the door and enjoy some divine food.
"Mother, I have something to tell you." Su Ningjie pulled Xiao Lingyu into the east room and then to Su Ning'an's room, pointing to ten large sacks of copper coins and saying, "The bamboo forest will be completed in ten days. 100 people will be paid in ten days. The lump sum payment is just one copper coin. Will there be any accidents if so many copper coins are paid in one day?"
"Don't worry. That day, have Xingyun and the others come to protect you. Your eldest brother will also be present. These copper coins will be distributed to the villagers from the village chief's house. After dinner, go find the village chief and tell him about this matter."
Su Ningjie was relieved. Such a large amount of money would easily make people jealous. "Okay, mother."
As night falls, a cool breeze blows away the heat of the day, and the moon seems to have skipped work, leaving only stars in the sky.
"Mother, the star has moved away."
"Xiao Xi'er, that's a shooting star. It's said that making a wish when you see a shooting star can make your wish come true. Do you want to close your eyes and make a wish?"
Xiao Xier quickly closed her eyes. She hoped that her mother would always be her mother and never leave her.
After a while, Xiao Xier opened her eyes and asked, "Mom, can wishes really come true?"
Xiao Lingyu picked up Xiao Xier and said softly, "As long as your heart is sincere, your wish will come true. Okay, we should go back to bed."
Xiao Lingyu turned around holding Xiao Xier and saw the three brothers closing their eyes as if making a wish.
"Big brother, when did you come out?"
Su Ningan opened one eye and said with a smile, "We just came back from the backyard and heard what mother said."
"right."
"So what did you wish for?"
Su Ningjie said: "Sister, we will tell you when your wish comes true."
"Okay kids, let's all go back to our rooms and get some sleep, shall we?"
"Dad, Mom and I are back. I just saw a shooting star and made a wish. Mom said that if you are sincere, your wish will come true. Can you make a wish now?"
Su Xingyi said, "Mother, I didn't see the meteor. Is it too late now?"
Making a wish while watching a shooting star is supposed to be fun, but whether it will come true is hard to say.
Xiao Lingyu said softly, "Then hurry up and make a wish. Maybe it's still in time."
Seeing that Su Xingyi closed his eyes seriously, Xiao Lingyu pursed his lips, carried Xiao Xier to the small bed and went to sleep.
Su Xingyi opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Lingyu, thinking about what happened today, and couldn't fall asleep for a while. Looking at her blurry eyes, the way she fled in panic, and the way she leaned against the window with her eyes lowered and thinking about something, was this the look of being scared by him?
Should I explain to her? He didn't mean to hug her, he was just afraid that she would fall.
"Xiao..." Su Xing thought that Xiao Lingyu had fallen asleep, so he decided to find a chance to explain to her tomorrow.
The next day, it was cloudy.
After breakfast, Xiao Lingyu taught the children to read and write. Half an hour later, "Mother, my brothers all have their own things to do, and I'm just learning to read and write. I've been thinking about it all night."
Xiao Lingyu raised an eyebrow and said, "What big thing have you been thinking about all night? I remember watching the stars with you last night, and you fell asleep right away."
Xiao Xi'er pouted: "That's what I was thinking."
"Then tell me. What's the big deal?"
"Mom, I've made up my mind. Now I want to learn everything you know."
Xiao Lingyu smiled gently, "Mother, I know a lot. Where do you want to start? Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, horseback riding, archery, etiquette, needlework, embroidery, perfume making, cooking, medicine... Which of these skills do you plan to learn first?"
"Perfumery."
Xiao Xier thinks this should be very simple and not too difficult.
"Okay, today I will teach you how to make fragrant water, and then I will teach you the traditional art of incense."
Xiao Lingyu took Xiao Xi'er and picked a basin of rose petals and jasmine petals respectively, and taught her how to make the scented water step by step...
Su Xingyi saw that Xiao Lingyu had the same bright smile on her face as usual, as if she had forgotten what happened yesterday, and she paid less attention to him, which made him feel uneasy.
Su Xingyi slid his wheelchair to the east room. "Boss, come and help Dad."
Su Ningan pushed Su Xingyi into the room and said, "Dad, are you here to watch me paint?"
Su Xingyi hadn't watched Su Ning'an's painting carefully, "Boss, your painting is very similar."
"Dad, it's not good enough yet. It's not as beautiful as Mom's painting. I need to practice more and paint more."
Su Xingyi encouraged, "It's already very good. This painting is much better than the one Dad saw at the wealthy family in the county before."
Su Ning'an smiled and said, "It must be better than theirs. My mother taught me how to draw, so I can't embarrass her."
Su Xingyi said, "Boss, if you do something wrong, will your mother forgive you if you explain it to her?"
"Just admit your mistake directly. Mother likes children who can correct their mistakes."
Su Xingyi pursed his lips slightly. Perhaps if he explained to Xiao Lingyu, she would forgive him. "That's right. You should admit your mistakes and correct them. Don't make the same mistake again in the future. Understand?"
"Dad, I understand. I won't do anything wrong, and I won't make mother angry."
It was not until Xiao Lingyu woke up from his nap that Su Xingyi found a chance to talk to Xiao Lingyu.
"Mother, I have something to tell you."
