Chapter 42 Su Jianjun Came from the Mountains
The two little guys quickly shook their heads like wave drums.
Dabao whispered, "Aunt, we only need to eat mixed grain rice and sweet potato porridge. You don't need to feed us malt milk or egg cakes."
In fact, Aunt Liu also has maltose at home, and her uncle sends it to her every month.
But Aunt Liu said that they were not worthy of eating such high-end food.
Only Fangfang and Aunt Liu's grandson Steel Egg can eat it.
Every time they just sniffed from a distance, they were scolded.
Su Qiaocai could guess what the children had experienced before, so he came up with this idea.
She reached out and touched Dabao's little head, "Yangyang, the food we eat now was bought with the money earned by your uncle.
If you guys don’t eat it, then I can’t eat it either.”
She looked at Dabao earnestly and asked, "So, you don't mind if your aunt follows you to eat some delicious food?"
Dabao quickly shook his little head like a rattle, "Aunt, eat."
"Then let's eat together!"
Su Qiao smiled gently and was about to lower her head to eat, but she saw Erbao looking at her with red eyes.
She looked at Erbao gently, "Xiaojing, what's wrong?"
Erbao sniffed, looked at her with gratitude, and asked in a low voice, "Aunt, why are you so kind to us?"
As Erbao spoke, tears rolled out uncontrollably, and he quickly raised the back of his little hand to wipe them clean.
Erbao's behavior made Dabao's eyes red.
Yes, ever since mom and dad passed away, not only did my uncle and aunt dislike them, but my grandparents also didn’t want them.
Their uncle asked Aunt Liu to look after them, but Aunt Liu and her family also bullied them.
But my aunt is so good to them.
Su Qiao pinched the little fat that had just grown on the two little guys' faces and said, "Because you are both good kids.
You deserve your aunt to treat you well."
She was deeply hurt by that ungrateful wolf in her previous life.
If she were to ask herself, if she had not known the character of these three children, she would not have dared to raise them.
Although she takes care of the children more in life now, these three children are her salvation.
It was they who warmed her scarred heart.
"Thank you, Aunt."
Dabao and Erbao were busy eating while speaking vaguely with some embarrassment.
Sanbao didn't quite understand what his brothers and sisters were saying to his aunt.
But when the kid heard the words "thank you, aunt", he immediately raised his dirty little face and shouted in a crisp voice, "Thank you, aunt!"
Su Qiao wiped the boy's face and pinched the fat on his face, "You're welcome."
After breakfast, Su Qiao planned to go up the mountain to collect herbs, but the three children were still young and definitely could not go up the mountain.
Qin Xue came at this time. "Qiao Qiao, your family just bought a new sewing machine, right? Can you lend it to me?"
Su Qiao: That’s amazing!
She quickly pulled Qin Xue to sit in front of the sewing machine and said, "Use it as you like.
But I have one condition: if you use my sewing machine, you have to keep an eye on the kids.
I have to go up the mountain to collect some herbs."
Qin Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, I want to use your sewing machine and take advantage of you.
In the end, you caught me!"
"Who in your family is feeling unwell? Are you going to collect herbs?"
After Qin Xue finished joking, she couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Su Qiao didn't think too much and answered directly: "Brother Zhengrong has a lot of old ailments. I'll go get some herbs and treat her."
Qin Xue suddenly looked enlightened and looked at Su Qiao ambiguously, "That aspect?"
Su Qiao had never thought about that before, but when he saw Qin Xue making eyes, he suddenly came to his senses.
She raised her hand and pinched the soft flesh on her waist. "Go to hell, you are really going out now, you can say anything, right?"
After Su Qiao had finished arguing with Qin Xue, he instructed the three kids to say hello to Qin Xue when they left the yard and not to go near the water.
Then she carried the backpack up the mountain.
The Red Star Production Team is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and many medicinal herbs grow on the mountains.
However, there are few precious herbs outside the mountain, and the villagers are only familiar with a limited number of herbs. Previously, there was an incident in the village where a family mistook Aconitum carmichaelii for Polygonum multiflorum and stewed it into a tonic soup, which resulted in the whole family being poisoned.
Even fewer people go up the mountain to collect herbs.
In recent years, only Su Qiao and Grandpa went up the mountain to collect herbs.
Su Qiao carried a backpack and walked into the mountain while digging herbs.
She had lived in the mountains with her grandfather since she was a child and was very familiar with every plant and tree in the mountains. In a short while, she had dug up half a basket of herbs.
She was about to go deeper into the mountain to dig some Chuanxiong and Angelica sinensis when she suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from behind the trees.
Su Qiao subconsciously hid behind a dense bush.
Soon, two people walked past her.
When she saw the two people clearly, her heart sank.
It turned out to be Su Jianjun and the seller who sold things to Su Jianjun yesterday.
The seller who traded with Su Jianjun on the black market yesterday had a dark blue birthmark on half of his face, which was very recognizable.
Su Qiao frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.
What are they doing in this mountain?
