Chapter 30 Tianbao is really smart
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
The doors to the Su family's courtyard were tightly closed, even the door to the main room was shut tightly. For fear that light would leak through the gaps, the Su family also covered the gaps tightly with curtains.
A small fire was lit in the room for lighting.
The kids have all gone to bed.
The Su family members sat in a circle, staring blankly at the things in front of them.
I was so excited and nervous during the day that I hurried to hide the things, so I didn't have time to take a closer look.
It was quiet all around now. They put the things out secretly, avoiding being seen and heard. The family relived the feeling of blood boiling during the day.
Let’s talk about the ginseng first. It is as long as an adult’s forearm, with many roots and hairs covered with beads and still covered with mud. It looks as fresh as if it had just been pulled out of the ground.
There is also a lotus flower as big as a fist, its jade-white petals so thin that they are almost transparent, and it contains purple stamens, blooming in a posture that is so pure and beautiful that people dare not reach out to touch it.
There is also the bright red Ganoderma lucidum, which looks small but is quite heavy.
Even though they had seen it once during the day, Old Man Su and his companions were still breathing heavily, not to mention Liu Yuelan and other women.
"This is the first time in my life that I have seen ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum with my own eyes...it turns out it looks like this..." Su Xiu'er was dizzy and murmured softly.
He Daxiang, "If we sell these things for money, it will be enough for our family to have food and drink for the rest of their lives, right?"
Liu Yuelan was not so optimistic. "Who can we sell it to? We can't enter the border town, let alone Fengyun City. Besides, if we take these things out, it would be like showing the silver to the bandits. Then our whole family would be in danger."
Old Lady Su nodded in agreement and said thoughtfully, "We definitely have to sell it. Otherwise, if we don't know how to preserve these things, it would be a waste if they break. But we have to find a way to sell them. We can't be reckless."
Their family really needs some money to get through this difficult time.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about food.
Although the family members were not hungry during this period, eating meat and fish for every meal was not a good idea. They had not eaten rice or noodles for nearly two months, which was not a good thing.
The adults were both happy and sad in the main room, completely unaware that the little kid in the bedroom had heard everything they said.
Tianbao sat next to the space field, holding his cheeks with his two little hands, looking at the large field of flowers and plants in front of him.
It turns out that these things that she thought of as dishes could be exchanged for a lot of silver.
But it’s useless even if you can exchange it for a lot of silver. Look at my grandparents and my parents, they are so worried that they can’t sleep.
Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and white lotus are not as useful as a few big radishes.
Tianbao pouted and frowned. How could he help his grandparents?
The night deepens.
The people in the main room racked their brains but could not come up with a solution. They could only put the matter aside for the time being and go back to their rooms to sleep.
Tianbao also left the space, ate a few rations, and fell asleep peacefully while smelling the scent of his mother.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I heard some noise in my half-conscious ears.
"Boss, why did you bring me here? Are you sneaking around like a thief?" It was Su Er's voice.
Tianbao's eyelids moved, and he figured out that it was probably in the corner of the kitchen.
Soon her father's voice drifted over, "Second brother, I plan to go to Fengyun City myself to see what the situation is like in the city—"
Before he could finish his words, Su Er interrupted him urgently, "Are you crazy?! Do you know what Fengyun City is? Is it a place we can go to?"
"We can't just stay at home and wait to die! Besides, I'm just going to take a look and be back soon. No matter how dangerous Fengyun City is, the people inside won't just beat and kill anyone they see. Otherwise, who would dare to do business there?"
"...Okay, if you want to go, I'll go with you. Let's go through the dragon pool and the tiger cave together! Ouch! Why did you hit me?"
"Shut up and stay home! Tianbao brought out not only the herbs, but also a lot of saplings. I recognize several of them as fruit saplings. You and Mom and Dad should think about it at home. Aren't we going to farm? If we don't have crop seeds, we can plant fruit trees! It's settled!"
Tianbao didn't listen to what was being said outside. He slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window.
Light filtered through the gaps in the curtains made of thorny strips. It was gray and almost dawn.
She turned her head again and looked at the young woman who was still sleeping beside her. In the dim light, the young face had soft lines and delicate and elegant features, but the woman's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was worried even in her sleep.
Tianbao reached out his hand to the woman's brow, trying to smooth out the wrinkles between her eyebrows.
The woman was disturbed, so she grabbed her little hand and put it into the quilt without opening her eyes. "Sweet baby, go to sleep, mommy is here..."
After a gentle whisper, the woman continued to sleep.
Only then did Tianbao notice that there was a tired blue tint under her mother's eyes.
There was a slight sound from the door, and a tall man walked in. He walked very lightly, fearing that he would disturb the person sleeping in the room.
When he reached the bedside, Su Da's eyes fell on his wife's face, with a mixture of pity, reluctance and guilt.
When he was about to turn around and leave, his sight shifted and he met the eyes of the daughter of some fairy who didn't know who she was.
The child's eyes were round and clear, staring at him intently.
Su Da, “…” He felt inexplicably guilty, like a thief who had been caught.
This feeling of guilt only lasted for a moment, and Su Da felt relieved again.
My daughter is four months old. She has just two little teeth and can’t speak yet. Why is he so weak?
Thinking of this, Su Da's eyes softened. He leaned over his wife and gently kissed his daughter's face on the sleeping side. He whispered, "Sweetheart, go to sleep. I'll come back to play with you in the evening after I'm done with my work."
After saying that, he stood up quietly.
It didn't work.
The daughter grabbed his collar with her little claws.
He tried to pry it open with his hands, but failed. He didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting his daughter's little finger.
"Bao'er, be good and let go. Daddy has to go and get busy!"
Sweet baby won’t let go.
Busy?
Are you lying to the baby?
She opened her little mouth and lip-synced.
"I."
"go."
Su Da, "...what?"
"Take me there." Tianbao's black eyes lit up. Oh, it doesn't matter if she can't speak yet, she can lip-sync!
Tianbao is so smart!
“…”
When Su Da suspected that he was dazzled, he found that a small purple flower suddenly appeared in the palm of his daughter's other idle hand.
He blinked, and the flower disappeared from his daughter's hand.
In the blink of an eye, the little flower appeared in her daughter's hand again.
"..." If Su Da didn't know that the girl in front of him was his own daughter, he would have suspected that he had seen a ghost.
It would be fine if I could just pull something out of thin air.
How can you control it so freely?
Baby, you are lucky that your father is brave enough!
Tianbao's little mouth moved, and three words came out silently, "Take me there."
At the same time, the little hand patted his chest.
Su Da understood that his daughter learned this action from the three little ones at home, and it means "I'm very good."
“…”
At dawn, the gate of the Su family courtyard opened quietly.
A tall man walked out, wearing a sling and carrying his little kid in his arms. He left the yard under Su Er's sad gaze.
In the first confrontation between father and daughter, the father was completely defeated.
