This morning, the three little ones were so excited to find out they were going out that they didn’t eat properly at home. They just wanted to go out and play.
The three of them nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao remembered that there was a stall selling dumplings and glutinous rice balls nearby. The couple had been running the stall for many years. The food was always delicious, and it was in the same direction as the clinic.
Su Xiaoxiao brought the three kids to the stall.
It was past breakfast time and there were no customers. The boss was not there. His wife was standing behind the stall making dumplings, and there was a seven-year-old girl helping to pick vegetables.
She was the first to see the guest and tugged at the proprietress's clothes: "Mom, a guest is here."
The proprietress recognized Su Xiaoxiao. After all, there were not many customers who were so fat, and she would remember them for a long time after coming here once.
"Girl, are we still having two bowls of rice wine dumplings and one bowl of spicy soup dumplings today?"
She said it with a pleasant face.
The original owner has a big appetite and can eat three bowls of food at a time, and two of them are sweet. If she doesn’t get fat, who else can she get fatter?
In order to lose weight, Su Xiaoxiao decided to resist the urge to eat and asked the three children, "Do you want to eat dumplings or glutinous rice balls?"
The three of them didn't speak.
The proprietress looked down and discovered that there were three little dumplings following the fat girl.
The little dumplings are so cute with rosy cheeks, they look like three lucky dolls walking out of a New Year picture.
The proprietress had never seen such beautiful children before, and couldn't help asking: "Girl, they are..."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the little girl snuggling beside the boss lady, then looked at the three little ones with envious eyes, and said seriously: "My son."
The three little ones were stunned.
The proprietress was also stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao is too young and doesn't look like the mother of three children. However, in this chaotic world, it is common for girls to get married early.
The proprietress smiled and said, "Three sons, what a blessing."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
Su Xiaoxiao asked the three people again: "Dumplings or glutinous rice balls, which one do you want to eat?"
The three little ones: "Mom."
I knew it would be like this.
Su Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and responded vaguely: "Well, what to eat?"
The three little ones have bright eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao turned her head away and muttered softly: "Don't look at me like that, this is my first time being a mother... I may not be good at it..."
"eat."
A little kid pointed at the dumplings and said.
Su Xiaoxiao was surprised. He said the second word so quickly? There was no whorl on his forehead. It was Da Hu.
The other two have whorls on their foreheads. The one with a white headband is Erhu, and the one with a blue headband is Xiaohu.
Erhu and Xiaohu ordered dumplings.
The four of them sat down around the small table, and steaming dumplings and glutinous rice balls were served.
"Mom, eat." said the three.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "You guys eat, I'm not hungry, be careful of the heat."
The three of them sipped from their bowls.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at the three people and asked, "Can you... say your own names?"
She wanted to know their real names.
The three of them tilted their heads, thought about it, and nodded in unison.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "What are your names?"
The three of them pressed their small hands against their chests.
"Big Tiger."
"Two tigers."
"Small Axe (Tiger)."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…” - After the three kids had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Xiaoxiao took them to the town’s clinic.
She entered and exited through the back door during the fight yesterday, avoiding the clinic staff, so no one recognized her.
"I want a set of silver needles, and also." She paused, and listed more than a dozen medicinal herbs in one breath.
The shopkeeper gave her the bill, which was five taels in total.
After the first purchase, she had only two taels of silver left.
"Can it be cheaper?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
The shopkeeper smiled faintly: "How much do you want to give, young lady?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I only have two taels of silver in my hand. If you are willing... I can exchange my medicine with you to make up the difference."
The shopkeeper laughed angrily.
Such a big tone from a country girl!
She traded her medicine.
What medicine? Some rotten herbal remedy from the countryside? What did she think Rong En Tang was! "Rong En Tang is the largest medical clinic in town. What good medicine does it not have? Why would you care about something from a country girl? What can you offer!"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "My medicine is very good."
The shopkeeper taunted, "I think you're here to cheat people out of medicine. I've seen a lot of people like you! Get out of here! Or I'll report you to the police!"
In the room on the second floor, a young man in brocade clothes was sitting on a chair, and a doctor from the clinic was examining his left arm.
"The dislocated part was connected very well and there will be no sequelae."
The young man in brocade clothes raised his hand, and the doctor tactfully withdrew.
The guard standing by the window suddenly said, "Master, look! It's the girl from before!"
The boy turned his head and looked: "It's her."
There are just three more children around me.
The guard gestured and asked curiously, "Master, did she really just reattach your arm with just that one move?"
When the young master bumped into the horse, he was in the crowd on the opposite side and didn't see it clearly.
The young man in brocade clothes hummed.
The guard said, "From the way she's dressed, she's clearly a country girl. How could she know this? Could it be that she also knows medical skills? Young Master, Young Master! Let's invite her to treat you, Young Master!"
The boy was silent.
She must know medical skills, as she can reattach dislocated arms and save children from choking.
But…healing my cousin.
"My cousin has a special status. People with unknown origins should not approach him rashly. It is better to wait for Doctor Dong from the clinic."
Doctor Dong has been practicing medicine for many years and has excellent medical skills. He is the best person to treat my cousin. ——After Su Xiaoxiao came out of the clinic, she planned to go somewhere else. After she had walked a few steps, she was blocked by a middle-aged man.
At first glance, the other person's clothing was no different from that of ordinary people, except that he had a medicine gourd hanging around his waist.
He is a doctor.
The doctor smiled and bowed to Su Xiaoxiao, explaining his purpose.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "So you were also in Jinji at that time... Are you asking me how I saved the child?"
The doctor smiled awkwardly and said, "I hope you can give me some advice, young lady."
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "Oh, you are too polite. What do you mean by teaching me or not? If you want to know, I will tell you."
"Really?" The doctor couldn't believe that the other party agreed so easily. This was different from what he expected!
"You are a doctor, right?" Su Xiaoxiao took out a small porcelain bottle from the basket and smiled. "It just so happens that I have a bottle of golden wound medicine here. Do you want it? I'll sell it to you at a low price."
The doctor took a look at the small porcelain bottle she took out and asked angrily, "If I don't buy your medicine, will you still teach me how to rescue people from choking?"
"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao said without hesitation, "But do you feel comfortable doing it for free?"
Doctor: “…”
The doctor's mouth twitched, and he asked with a fake smile, "How much is a bottle?"
Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand: "Since we are in the same business, I will sell it to you for five taels of silver!"
The doctor was shocked: "Five taels?! Why don't you just go and rob?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky and spread her hands helplessly: "Then let other clinics do it for free."
The doctor asked again: "..."
