Chapter 4 Weight Loss



"What are your names?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The three little kids scurried around behind Su Ergou and shyly hid their little heads, looking like three tiny mimosas.

This shy little look made Su Xiaoxiao's heart melt with cuteness.

"Are they crying?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Ergou said: "Don't cry, I'm being good!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked behind Su Ergou. Three little kids were secretly glancing at her. She caught them and they immediately retracted their heads.

"I just don't like to talk." Su Ergou said.

Su Cheng took out the things he bought in town from the basket one by one and placed them on the table.

Three little kids came over, stood on tiptoe, grabbed his basket, and stretched their little necks to look inside.

"Looking for this?" Su Cheng picked up a bamboo leaf bag on the table and opened it. Inside were three strings of candied haws that were half-eaten on the road.

Tanghulu is very expensive. Su Cheng is only generous to his daughter and is stingy with others. He didn't want to buy it at first, but when he turned his head, three little beans bit into it directly -

Su Cheng felt painful all the way.

The three little kids grabbed the candied haws and went into the house to find their father.

Unexpectedly, not long after they entered the house, they ran out in horror, holding candied haws.

——Wei Ting fell so badly that even his own son didn’t recognize him.

When Su Cheng and Su Ergou entered the room and took a look, they were both dumbfounded.

Where is the handsome son-in-law (brother-in-law) who was kidnapped back?

How come you become a pig head in just one day's absence? !

Su Xiaoxiao folded her arms, leaned against the door frame, and said indifferently: "Is this the man you said is a hundred times more handsome than He Tongsheng?"

Su Cheng cleared his throat: "Daughter, you have to believe in Dad, he is really handsome."

Su Ergou's train of thought was strange: "Sister, did you beat him up?"

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

"He fell on his own!"

Why did she beat him for no reason? You are really my brother! Since he fell, he would be fine after he recovered. Su Cheng felt relieved and asked Er Gouzi to comfort the three frightened little kids, while he took his daughter to the main room.

Pointing to a box of snacks on the table, he said, "Dad bought you your favorite osmanthus cake, from Jinji!"

Jinji’s dim sum is not cheap. This small box costs one or two taels of silver, while grain is only three or five cents per pound.

"Hasn't our family's money been spent?"

If she remembered correctly, Old Man Su used all his own money to betroth He Tongsheng.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Share money!"

Su Xiaoxiao murmured, "Why is the share so much money?"

She naturally didn't know that Su Cheng had robbed three shares of the money.

There were six pieces of osmanthus cake in the box, and it was obvious that there was no portion for Su Cheng and Su Ergou.

"Haven't you eaten yet?" she asked.

Su Cheng then remembered that he had been out all day: "You must be starving, Dad will go cook!"

"No, I've made it." Su Xiaoxiao turned around and went to the kitchen, brought out the sweet potato soup and leek boxes, and said to Su Ergou who was playing with a few little kids at the door, "Ergou, it's time to eat!"

"Hey! Here it comes!"

Su Ergou led the three little kids into the house and sat down to eat.

He looked at the delicious leek dumplings and sweet potato soup on the table and asked in surprise, "Dad, did you make this?"

Su Cheng said: "Your sister did it."

Su Ergou's expression was as if he had seen a ghost: "No way? My sister..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Xiaoxiao opened a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said, "You guys ate this too. From today on, I want to lose weight and won't eat these sweets anymore."

After saying this, as if to show her determination, she went into her room without looking back.

Su Ergou took a long time to come back to his senses, and asked in a daze: "Dad, is my sister...her brain broken?"

Su Cheng slapped his son on the forehead: "You are the one with a broken brain!"

His daughter's reaction today was indeed abnormal, but Su Cheng did not think too deeply about it. He just felt that his daughter was too traumatized by He Tongsheng's breaking off of the engagement, which led to her change in temperament.

Su Ergou picked up a leek box suspiciously: "Can the food I make be eaten?"

The next second, he was slapped in the face.

The food his sister makes is so, so delicious! ...

The Su family has a total of four rooms, two east rooms and two west rooms. The east room on the south side is the largest and has the best lighting, and was used as Su Xiaoxiao's wedding room.

Wei Ting was recuperating in another east room.

Su Cheng and Su Ergou lived in the two western rooms respectively, and the three little kids stayed in Su Ergou's room.

After nightfall, the family fell asleep.

Su Xiaoxiao got up quietly.

She took out the first aid kit from under the quilt, opened it and counted it. It was the medical drugs she had put in there, all in one.

How could this happen? The first aid kit also came through? She really couldn't figure it out. Was this science or theology?

"Never mind, saving people is the most important thing."

Su Xiaoxiao took the first aid kit and oil lamp and went to Wei Ting's house.

She closed the door and turned the wick to the brightest setting, but the light was still not enough, so she brought oil lamps from several other rooms.

As she expected, Wei Ting's injuries worsened and the situation was very critical.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't delay any longer and undressed him.

Even though I've seen it once, I still can't help but sigh when I see it again - this man has such a great body.

His abdominal muscles were clearly defined and smooth, his arms and chest muscles were full and firm, yet not exaggerated, and even those mottled and crisscrossed scars seemed to exude the power of battle damage.

Su Xiaoxiao cleaned his wounds with saline solution. The knife wounds on his abdomen and calves needed to be sutured.

At this time, Wei Ting on the bed slightly opened his swollen eyes.

"Can you hear me?" Su Xiaoxiao asked him in a low voice.

Wei Ting's consciousness was blurred.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, "I'm going to sew up your wound, don't move."

I don't know if he understood, but he was in unable to move in his current state.

Su Xiaoxiao gave him local anesthesia, sutured the wound and wrapped it with gauze. During the whole process, she could feel that Wei Ting was trying hard to keep himself conscious.

She took two anti-inflammatory pills and asked Wei Ting to take them.

At this point, Wei Ting could no longer hold on, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He was asleep, but Su Xiaoxiao still had something to do.

Su Xiaoxiao applied medicine to all the other injuries, big and small, on his body. She carefully took his pulse again and again, observed the location of his injuries, and ruled out the possibility of massive internal bleeding. It was just a relatively mild hematoma.

This condition can be treated with medication as long as it does not worsen.

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao tried hard to get up early.

What she said last night about losing weight was true, and she has already made a weight loss plan in her mind.

The first step is to get rid of the lazy habit and get yourself moving.

With her current weight, she should not do strenuous exercise on the ground as it will hurt her knees. She can start with simple housework.

She went to the kitchen and lit the fire.

She made sweet potato soup last night and today she made sweet potato pancakes instead.

First mix the cornmeal and dice the sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes have their own sweetness, so sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt into the cornmeal.

The sweet potatoes are coated with cornmeal mixed with chopped green onions and fried in a pan. The fragrance fills half the village.

She also steamed a few.

She and Wei Ting had steamed food.

Good morning^_^      (End of this chapter)
