Chapter 06 Chapter 6
Chapter 6
When Su Yinyin woke up the next day, she yawned. She was a little tired from crying yesterday and a little sleepy today.
Seeing this, Madam Su asked the Liu family next door to help look after the baby and not take her out today.
After Su Yinyin woke up, Aunt Liu and Sister Liu started talking to each other.
What the two were discussing was Sister Liu's marriage.
Marriage is a complicated matter, and is divided into two parts: small engagement and big engagement.
Xiaoding is a preliminary procedure, which requires drafting a brief letter of engagement, writing down the names of three generations of parents from both families, etc.
Although it is usually done by the man, the woman should not be careless either.
The future son-in-law Ding Pengzheng's family has temporarily moved to the capital city for Xiao Ding's sake.
Su Yinyin had just woken up, and was made a little sleepy again by the long list of cumbersome etiquette.
These things are not troublesome, but they are extremely trivial. Many people don’t understand them, and they need to ask experienced elders to take charge.
Aunt Liu heated up the milk and let Su Yinyin take a few sips. Seeing that she was still sleepy, she smiled and said, "If you give birth to a well-behaved girl like this in the future, mother will take care of her for you."
Sister Liu blushed.
How come you mentioned this?
But if she really gave birth to a baby as cute as Yinyin, she would definitely be willing.
After listening for a while, Su Yinyin finally came to her senses.
Where is mother!
Seeing the baby looking around, Sister Liu coaxed him, "Your mother went out to sell sugar cakes, and she saw that you were sleeping soundly, so she didn't call you."
Sister Liu didn't expect the baby to understand. After she finished speaking, she thought of the sugar cakes she had eaten in the morning and suddenly pulled her mother to her side: "Mom, does Xiao Ding need wedding cakes?"
According to local customs, no matter whether it is a big or small engagement, among the various items, there must be wedding cakes, which are sent by the man to the woman's home, as a good omen.
Sister Liu continued, "The method of making wedding cakes is similar to that of clear sugar cakes, but it's not like our wedding cakes are made by Aunt Zhou."
"That's good." Aunt Liu nodded. "It was Yinyin's mother who suggested the marriage. It's only right to ask her to make wedding cakes."
I think the Ding family is willing to do the same.
When Su Yinyin heard that Sister Liu wanted to order wedding cakes from her house, she was so happy that she waved her little hands.
Great, the family can make money again.
When Mrs. Su came back at noon and heard about this, she was naturally happy. It was good to be able to add some household income to the family.
The method of making wedding cakes is to remove sugar and add eggs to the sugar cakes, and she will definitely make them carefully.
When Madam Su got home, there were still more than twenty unsold sugar cakes in the basket. She had made forty today, but only sold more than ten in the morning.
And she went home with her husband, Deputy Envoy Su.
Thinking of the troubles that happened in the morning, Madam Su shook her head slightly.
Su Yinyin noticed that her mother was frowning and babbling, as if she wanted to talk to her mother.
Her daughter's cute appearance made her feel a lot better.
Deputy Envoy Su frowned, greeted Aunt Liu when he entered the house, and said, "The eldest wife of the Su family is really too much."
He actually went to cause trouble for his wife in the morning.
Fortunately, a brother who was patrolling the street saw it, not only helped but also asked someone to inform him.
Su Yinyin was shocked.
She hadn't been with her mother all morning, so how could this happen?
Madam Su was gentle in character. She sighed and said, "She said that if both of them were selling Qingtang cakes, it would compete with the business, so she asked me to switch."
Aunt Liu was speechless: "She sells cakes in the North Market, and you sell in the West Market. Can you rob her? You are clearly looking for trouble."
Some people are like this. It doesn’t matter whether they can make money or not, what matters is that others cannot make money.
"Don't be so good-tempered and quarrel with her."
Madam Su is not a quarrelsome person. She is quiet and reserved and rarely quarrels with others.
"Fortunately, a rich young master happened to be there, and his servants helped me send him away." Madam Su explained, "It was the family that I gave the deposit to yesterday."
Although he was only three or four years old, he looked intimidating, and his servants were even more powerful, able to drive people away with just a few words.
Later, my husband's colleagues saw it and helped to deal with the matter.
However, it still wasted time, and the sales of sugar cakes in the morning suddenly decreased.
Fortunately, my daughter was able to attract business at home.
If my daughter hadn’t gotten up yet, there probably wouldn’t be any business for the wedding cakes from our neighbor Liu’s family.
Su Yinyin hugged her mother's neck, obviously feeling distressed.
After listening to this, Deputy Envoy Su said directly: "Don't worry, they won't come again in the future."
ah?
What's going on?
Su Yinyin looked at her father instantly.
Facing his daughter's gaze, Deputy Envoy Su coughed lightly and said, "The brothers from the North City Military Department will go shopping in the next few days."
Deputy Envoy Su is a taciturn man who is righteous and often helps his brothers.
Whenever something happens at his family's home, needless to say, there's always someone to help.
I made his daughter cry yesterday, and today I went to cause trouble for his wife.
We must strike hard.
Su Yinyin felt relieved, her worries were unnecessary.
With my parents around, I feel very safe.
Aunt Liu was also relieved and went home to cook.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Su took Yin Yin out to sell sugar cakes and once again felt the joy of selling cakes quickly.
When I bring my daughter out, I sell cakes much faster.
Su Yinyin saw the thin and wealthy young master again.
He looked about three or four years old, with a gloomy expression.
But she knows!
This is a kind person!
Help her mother out of trouble!
The young master looked up at the baby who was reaching out his hand to him, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out his hand.
Soft fingers grasped his hand, as soft as the belly of a fur ball.
Maoqiu is the kitten raised by his mother.
The young master stuffed the sugar cake into his mouth again and ran away quickly.
In the next few months, the Su family's life was very regular.
After breakfast in the morning, Deputy Envoy Su went to work and Su Xian went to school.
Madam Su and Su Yinyin packed up their things and went to the market to sell sugar cakes, forty a day. They definitely wouldn't make more because if they did, they wouldn't be able to sell them.
At the end of the month, the income was actually five taels and four cents, and the household expenses were obviously much less.
As the end of the year approached, Mrs. Su counted the money she had saved and prepared to buy new clothes and shoes for her children.
In November, Su Yinyin can already walk!
Although she started to waddle like a duckling after walking for a long time, which child could walk at eleven months like her?
Su Yinyin thought, is it because of drinking milk every day?
My mother also said that her brother has grown a lot taller this year.
The little duck Su Yinyin staggered into her father's arms and looked up and said, "Daddy, Daddy."
No matter how much Su Yinyin said, she couldn't say it.
This is her ceremony to welcome her father home.
Deputy Envoy Su was on leave this afternoon and happened to go out with his family to buy New Year's goods.
Su Xian also said: "Mom, I don't need new clothes, buy them for my sister, I can still grow taller."
"Buy, buy all. I'll supplement it when I grow taller." Madam Su held her purse in her pocket and said, "Don't worry, I have money."
Deputy Envoy Su also said, "Dad will give you a lot of salary this year, don't worry."
Su Xian, Su Yinyin frowned instantly.
His family expenses are also high.
By the end of the year I will definitely have to help my father and colleagues, and my grandmother with medicine and medical treatment.
Deputy Envoy Su frowned at the two children and said, "I'm sorry to have caused you children to worry."
"Walk."
Deputy Envoy Su held one in each hand, put the eleven-month-old Su Yinyin on his shoulder and held his eight-year-old son in his arms, without feeling any effort at all.
When they reached the alley, he finally put down his son who had been struggling for a long time.
Eight years old!
Eight years old and still hugging!
How shameful!
The whole family went to the market to buy things. They went to the South Market and needed to rent a carriage to go there, but there were more choices of fabrics there.
As the year draws to a close, Bianjing becomes noticeably more lively. Many trades begin to take a break, and people take out their good clothes to enjoy the joy of the new year.
It was Su Yinyin’s first time riding in a horse carriage. Although it was a rented carriage, the coachman kept the interior clean and tidy.
The roads in Bianjing are flat and it is very comfortable to sit on them.
As we walked along, we heard more and more hawking sounds along the street.
Su Yinyin was lying on the window, and saw a few three or four-year-old children running around, pointing outside and asking their mother, "Brother."
Just as Su Xian was about to answer, Madam Su said directly, "The young master hasn't come recently. His servants said that he will come after the New Year."
Call brother?
Not calling him?
Real brother Su Xian's face was full of disbelief.
Su Yinyin was indeed talking about that rich young master.
He had not appeared since the weather turned cold, and even his servants had stopped coming.
It wasn't that Su Yinyin called him brother on purpose.
But the only three words she knows are daddy, mom, and brother.
It would be inappropriate to shout anything else!
Su Yinyin's ears turned red, and she suddenly thought of how surprised her mother's expression was when she called her mother for the first time.
When I called him daddy, he jumped for joy.
When I called my brother, he tried to remain calm but he still couldn't.
The rich young master was also stunned when he heard his brother.
Su Yinyin clenched her fist. In the new year, she will definitely say more and more!
After getting off the carriage, Su Yinyin was surrounded by all kinds of fabrics.
The guys in various cloth shops kept praising the baby for being adorable, and said that such a cute little baby would look good in clothes made of any cloth.
"If other children try on so many fabrics, they will definitely make a fuss. How come your child is so well behaved?"
"These big eyes are like grapes."
"Your doll can be used as a New Year picture doll."
Su Yinyin seriously suspected that her parents were fooled by this kind of rhetoric and bought her two sets of cloth!
After shopping in the fabric store, there were all kinds of New Year goods. Su Yinyin's hands were stuffed with a lot of food, such as dried meat, millet cakes, and she was almost stuffed with a candy man.
When she got home, Su Yinyin was so tired that she almost fell asleep with her arms full of toys.
No one told her that this is what it feels like to go shopping with family.
Su Yinyin was sleeping soundly, together with her brother, held in the arms of her parents.
When she woke up again, she was lying in her little bed, covered with soft and warm bedding that smelled of the sun.
Xiao Yinyin stretched her legs and lifted the quilt. Next to her was the little wooden man she bought yesterday and a colorful windmill hanging beside the bed.
My parents and brother were talking in low voices in the other room.
The eleven-month-old baby turned over and covered himself with the quilt.
So happy.
This is happiness.
