Chapter 63: Little New Year (Update 1)



It's different from what she expected!

Shouldn't Wei Ting deny it or be forced to admit that he gave her the token? In that case, he came to steal her things tonight! No, the original intention was not to ask him to admit whether he stole or not. Why did the quarrel go so far? I didn't perform well!

Unfortunately, Wei Ting did not give her a chance to turn the tide.

"I'll give it to you. Can you return the token to me?"

The night blurred his outline and the indifference in his tone. His low and magnetic voice inexplicably made people's hearts soften in this silent world.

Su Xiaoxiao understood that this body's love sickness had come back again.

She is the one who failed at the critical moment!

Wei Ting was determined to get the token back, but Su Xiaoxiao refused to hand it over, and the two were stuck in a stalemate.

"Weiting."

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke.

"explain."

Wei Ting responded coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao groaned and recalled seriously: "If I wasn't dreaming last time, then did I touch it?"

Wei Ting: “…”

Wei Ting was ultimately unable to get the token back because Xiaohu peed.

Su Xiaoxiao acted promptly, and when Xiaohu moved around in the quilt, she quickly pulled the little guy out and stuffed him into Wei Ting's arms.

Wei Ting was not so lucky. He didn't even realize what was happening before a wave of love from his son rolled through his chest...

The little tiger felt very comfortable even in his sleep after peeing. He raised his little chin in enjoyment and looked so proud while sleeping.

Wei Ting went out with a gloomy face.

"Ha ha!"

Su Xiaoxiao laughed so hard that she fell on the bed. ——Before dawn, Su Xiaoxiao climbed out of the soft quilt.

I don’t know if it was because the fat girl was not afraid of the cold or because of the three small hot water bottles, but she slept very warmly.

There was a heavy snow last night, and the door was blocked.

There was thick ice on the flagstones in the backyard, which made it dangerous for children to step on them.

Su Xiaoxiao swept the snow and shoveled the ice, and worked herself into a sweat, but she finally cleared the hidden dangers in the backyard.

This year's business ended yesterday. She didn't have to set up the stall today, but she still had to go to town.

First, she was not sure whether Doctor Fu had returned, so she had to go see Aunt Fu. Second, it was time for Master Xiang to come back for a follow-up visit.

She poached two eggs, drained them and spread a thin layer of peanut butter on them, blanched a few cabbage leaves, and added a corn cob to the mix - for her current weight, this was a nutritious and hearty fat-reducing breakfast.

She steamed some big meat buns for her family and kept them in the pot. She then carried the three sleeping little ones to Su Ergou's place, and then carried the basket on her back and went out.

The road was covered with thick snow, making it very difficult to walk.

In weather like this, I usually don't go out unless I have something important to do.

But Su Xiaoxiao unexpectedly met her aunt Huang and cousin Chen Haoyuan at the entrance of the village.

Huang's outfit today was quite special. She wore a brand new cotton-padded jacket and a very rare silver hairpin.

Although it is obviously silver-plated, it is considered a very formal outfit in the countryside.

Looking at Chen Haoyuan again, he was on vacation and took off his blue academy uniform and put on a decent gray and white gown.

In the Zhou Dynasty, clothing was very particular and could not exceed one's social status. For example, most common people wore shorts and could only wear cloth clothes. Otherwise, how could they be called common people?

The long gown is a status symbol for scholars or wealthy families.

Chen Haoyuan belongs to the former.

Clothes make the man, and this applies to both men and women.

Half of Chen Haoyuan's good looks come from his handsome face, and the other half comes from his dignified and appropriate long gown and court uniform.

Su Xiaoxiao had only seen Wei Ting, a man whose stunning looks couldn't be concealed even by a coarse linen shirt.

Huang was holding a basket covered tightly with cotton cloth in her hand. It looked heavy and Huang had a hard time lifting it.

Chen Haoyuan standing aside had nothing in his hands.

Chen Haoyuan is a scholar, and his family spoils him and doesn't let him do any work.

Su Xiaoxiao thinks that boys should be like Ergou, who is tough and not too spoiled.

It was obvious from the looks of Huang and Chen Haoyuan that they were not here to look for the Su family. As for who they were looking for, Su Xiaoxiao was not interested.

She walked away expressionless.

Huang was so angry that she said sarcastically, "Did you become blind and dumb after celebrating the New Year? You can't even call me aunt, right?"

This aunt is very arrogant now.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

She forgot that today is Little New Year. She has to go early and come back early. She can't let the three little ones wait and suffer.

Huang was ignored again. She felt like she was punching cotton. She was so angry that she jumped up and down and blocked Su Xiaoxiao's way: "You stupid girl! Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "I don't want to bother with you, can't you see that? You are asking for trouble just like this! What? Didn't you lose face enough last time? Do you still want to continue?"

Some people never know what is good for them and always want to be scolded early in the morning!

Do you really think I'm afraid of her? Where does her sense of superiority come from? Huang thought of the time when she went to Xiao Su's house to sell her son but failed and was ridiculed instead, and her face turned red and her neck became thick.

What's wrong with this damn girl? She's completely different from before!

Chen Haoyuan frowned: "Daya, my mother is your elder, how can you speak rudely to your elders?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "Brother Xiucai, your mother keeps calling me a dead girl, and she calls me blind and dumb, but you didn't even say a word! It's my turn to say a few words, and it's considered as speaking rudely to the elders? Oh, your mother is the elder, she scolds me, humiliates me, and I should bear it. If she puts a knife to my neck one day, should I just let her chop it off obediently!"

Chen Haoyuan was choked.

At this time, Fang and Su Jinniang came to the well to fetch water.

"It's Xiu Gu and Chen Xiucai. Daya is here too."

Fang greeted.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at a few people and guessed why Huang came.

——He is most likely here to propose marriage to Su Jinniang.

Su Xiaoxiao guessed correctly, Huang had indeed come today for her son's marriage.

Huang didn't want to lose face in front of her future in-laws, so she pulled her son and said sarcastically, "Forget it, Hao'er, you're going to study in the capital, don't bother with your cousin! Your cousin can't read a single word, and she won't understand even if you tell her the truth!"

Fang smelled the gunpowder between them, and she advised: "It's early in the morning, if you have anything to say, talk it out nicely."

Huang said, "I would like to talk to you nicely, but not everyone is like your Jinniang, who is sensible, virtuous and smart! Some people are just lazy and good at eating and working, and they can't even compare to Jinniang's skills!"

After Huang finished speaking, she turned around and found that Su Pangya had already walked away. She didn't know whether Su Pangya heard what she had just said.

When Su Pangya scolded her, she listened to every word, it was so annoying!

Why did Su Pangya leave when it was her turn to scold her? Was her scolding in vain?!

Huang felt so upset!

Huang chuckled and said, "She is half as sensible as Jinniang, so I don't worry about her... After all, she is my sister-in-law's own flesh and blood. I originally thought that when Hao'er goes to the capital to study, I will take care of her a little bit—"

"Is Mr. Chen really going to the provincial capital to study?" This was the second time Huang brought up this topic, and Fang had no choice but to pay attention.

Huang said, "Isn't that right? Only those who can pass the imperial examination are qualified to be recommended to the provincial capital!"

Chen Haoyuan didn't say anything, as if he had tacitly accepted that he would be able to pass the imperial examination.

Fang's attitude towards the two of them suddenly underwent a qualitative change.

Originally, with Su Jinniang's appearance and reputation, she would have no problem marrying into a good family, but even the best family had never produced a juren scholar.

It seems that this marriage is likely to be settled.

Fang smiled and said, "It's cold, let's go home and talk."

At this point, Huang finally felt relieved.

The stupid girl didn't take her seriously, thinking she was great for marrying a handsome man, but he was still just a farmer? Was he as capable as her son?

Her son is a future juren!

Su Xiaoxiao had no idea of ​​Huang's rich inner drama. Today's schedule was a bit tight, and the road was difficult to travel on. If she wanted to come back early, she had to rush to the town as soon as possible.

She didn't have time to listen to Huang's madness all the time.

Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve. Most of the shops on the street are closed, but festive spring couplets and blessing characters are posted on the doors.

In ancient times, paper was very expensive, and it was even more expensive to ask scholars to write Spring Festival couplets, so it was rare to see anyone posting couplets in the village.

As far as Su Xiaoxiao could remember, she had posted it once or twice when Chen was still alive, but never again after she died.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly wanted to buy two pairs of couplets, but unfortunately there were none left. -- When Su Xiaoxiao arrived at Chunliu Lane, the gate of Fu's house was ajar, and there were a few small footprints in the snow.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately concluded that Doctor Fu still had not returned last night.

"Aunt Fu, I'm here."

Su Xiaoxiao pushed open the gate and went to Aunt Fu's room.

Aunt Fu was sitting on the bed taking medicine. As soon as she heard Su Xiaoxiao's voice, a look of embarrassment and panic flashed across her face. She quickly put the medicine box on a stool beside her and turned to look inside the bed.

But suddenly he felt that it was inappropriate to leave the medicine box outside, so he hid it under the quilt.

When Su Xiaoxiao stepped over the threshold, she had already turned her head to the inside, and gave Su Xiaoxiao a willful look with a side face that showed she didn't recognize anyone.

Su Xiaoxiao came to the bed with amusement: "Auntie Fu, how do you feel today?"

"You won't die!" Aunt Fu said unhappily.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Oh, you are full of energy. It seems that the medicine is working well. You don't feel uncomfortable now, right? Your face looks rosier. Did you sleep well last night?"

Aunt Fu snorted, "What's so good about that! Can't you see my leg is broken?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "I gave you some painkillers."

The painkillers were what Wei Ting hadn't used up. Wei Ting was not afraid of pain, so Su Xiaoxiao saved the painkillers.

"Humph!" Aunt Fu said stubbornly, "Your medicine has no effect!"

"No effect? ​​Then where is the medicine I left for you?" Su Xiaoxiao asked, looking at the empty stool.

Aunt Fu said, "Throw it away!"

Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and tried to hold back her smile.

"What are you laughing at!" Aunt Fu glared.

Su Xiaoxiao pouted and motioned Aunt Fu to take a look at her quilt.

Aunt Fu looked down and saw that the quilt was not covered properly, revealing a few pills.

"Ha ha!"

It's time to laugh. Su Xiaoxiao will not miss the opportunity to make the little old lady suffer social demise.

Aunt Fu's face turned red! To be honest, she didn't believe that the medicine Su Xiaoxiao gave her could have miraculous effects at first.

First, Su Xiaoxiao is just a country girl and it is impossible for her to know medicine.

Second, those strange pills were something she had never seen before. Her husband and son were both doctors. Even though she was not a doctor, she had learned more than others. But she had never seen a treatment method like Su Xiaoxiao's.

But at night, her panic and palpitations disappeared, her headache was relieved, and when she shook her head, she did not feel dizzy as usual.

As for the pain in my legs, it wasn't too obvious.

When she woke up and it was daybreak, she realized that she had a good sleep.

She couldn't remember the last time she had a full night's sleep.

"As people age, they are bound to have some ailments. They don't become terminally ill all of a sudden, but get worse little by little over time. This is the law of birth, aging, illness and death. You can't cure it."

Her husband had been practicing medicine for many years and had treated countless patients, but in the end, didn't he still die of illness?

My husband's initial symptoms were the same as mine. He tried countless prescriptions, which did work at first, but soon became less effective. In the end, no prescription worked...

Su Xiaoxiao took out a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer to measure her blood pressure: "You have just gotten better, don't be so pessimistic, your mood is also very important."

Aunt Fu’s condition needs long-term control, but as long as it is controlled properly, she can still live a long and healthy life.

In her previous life, the old lady living upstairs from her was also a patient with hypertension. She was over 80 years old and enjoyed playing with her grandchildren every day.

Aunt Fu witnessed her husband's death. Her will was broken by repeated disappointments and she didn't want to experience it again.

Therefore, even if there was some improvement, she would not believe that she could recover completely.

Su Xiaoxiao understood the patient's mentality, and she was not in a hurry to convince her with words. She thought that the outcome would become clear over time.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Have you had breakfast? The neighbors sent it to you? Isn't it delicious?"

Aunt Fu: "You're making so much noise!"

When Su Xiaoxiao came out of Aunt Fu's house, there was an extra bag of sesame seeds in her backpack.

There is also a consultation fee for follow-up visits! Then, Su Xiaoxiao went to Wutong Academy again.

Mr. Xiang was much more cooperative and allowed Su Xiaoxiao to check him obediently.

"I'm recovering very well." Su Xiaoxiao said, "Keep taking the herbs. Eat a light diet, don't indulge in eating and drinking during the New Year. Also, don't drink alcohol!"

Mr. Xiang smiled gently: "Okay."

Changping on the side rolled his eyes and asked, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to my young master like that?"

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at Changping and complained, "He's rolling his eyes at me!"

Mr. Xiang said seriously: "Then I will dig out his eyes and make amends to Miss Su."

Changping was so scared that she did splits!

Well……

Are you a sick beauty, so cruel? Su Xiaoxiao said in a daze: "...It's not necessary."

Master Xiang looked at the dazed look of the little fat girl and couldn't help but chuckle.
