Chapter 294 Mo Bao, be good, try it quickly, or the cold cake will get hot soon.
Old Man Hua tilted his head and casually reached for the second bowl of cold rice cake.
“Mr. Hua…” Mrs. Qian called out helplessly.
Old Man Hua's hand froze, and he turned to look at Madam Qian with a pitiful expression.
"I'll only eat a little bit..." he said, rubbing his stomach, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
Little Su Bao blinked as she looked at her husband's expression.
"Good boy, sir. We'll listen to Mommy and eat tomorrow, okay?" The little dumpling approached her husband and said in a sweet, childish voice.
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and reached into his pocket again.
She took out one of the hawthorn pills that Doctor Song had left behind to aid digestion and handed it to him.
"But... I'm not full yet..." Old Man Hua said, reaching into his mouth to chew the hawthorn pills.
Little Su Bao looked at her husband and his belly, which was already bulging out of his clothes, and pursed her lips.
Old Man Hua immediately tucked in his stomach, turned his head away, and pretended not to have seen anything.
"Alright, it's already late. You should eat less. You're so old, you can't compare yourself to these little ones!" Madam Qian frowned, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
Old Man Hua glanced at Madam Qian with a wronged expression, and finally could only leave dejectedly with his hands behind his back!
Little Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief after watching her husband leave.
"Mom, here's some chilled rice cake for you..." Little Su Bao leaned over and became affectionate with Madam Qian again.
Ms. Qian also had a big smile on her face, feeling warm inside.
Just then, a voice came from beside her: "Su Bao, I've come to find you to catch cicada nymphs!"
Yun Qi brought Tang Yu and her little nephew along.
Tang Yu was still reciting her lessons when she suddenly saw Qian Shi, and her eyes lit up!
“Duo’er…”
Just as he was about to rush over, Qian blocked him with a bowl!
"Since you're here, let's eat something first!" Madam Qian said calmly.
Tang Yu was a little unhappy, but when she thought that this was food made for her by Madam Qian, she became excited again.
"Did you make this especially for me?" Tang Yu asked Qian Shi happily.
"What are you thinking? I don't have time for that. This was Su Bao's doing!" Madam Qian glanced at Tang Yu, her tone calm and devoid of any warmth.
The latter was taken aback, scratched his head, and met Xiao Su Bao's clear eyes.
"So it was Xiao Su Bao who made it. Our Su Bao is getting more and more amazing... haha..." Tang Yu said with a big smile.
When Xiao Su Bao saw her uncle looking over, the little dumpling's vision suddenly blurred.
Then she saw the red thread on her uncle's body twisting and turning, trying to wrap around him tightly and trap Qian Shi.
The little dumpling's eyes widened, and its brows furrowed slightly!
All that could be seen was that her mother's body was covered with her uncle's red thread.
But the red thread on her mother's body was still struggling, as if trying to escape her uncle!
Little Su Bao pursed her lips, then couldn't help but reach out and tug at the end of the red thread...
Qian's red thread instantly emerged, dodging Tang Yu's attack, and only then could she catch her breath.
"Good girl...don't be afraid..." The little dumpling gently rubbed the red thread and murmured softly.
The pitiful little red thread was stretched straight up, looking rather pathetic.
After being rubbed by Xiao Su Bao, I instantly became happy and my strength increased significantly...
Ms. Qian felt a strange sense of relief, and she subconsciously glanced at Xiao Su Bao...
Tang Yu was not unaware of what Qian was thinking at this moment. Holding the cold rice cake, his agitated mood seemed to calm down a bit.
Tang Yu looked at the chilled rice cake in the bowl, smiled, and took a bite!
This tastes really good, and it's not hot to eat, making it perfect for summer.
Tang Yu paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "This is a great thing for cooling off in the summer..."
Qian and Tang Cheng exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy.
The two of them probably had the same idea.
With braised meat and crickets already on the menu, these two new dishes are quite novel and sure to earn money.
However, deciding who to do it is a bit difficult.
Mrs. Qian glanced at the people in her family...
Tang Cheng is in charge of village affairs and doesn't have much time to deal with these things!
Second child...
Tang Qi now spends his days managing the pigsty with Yang Zhu; these pigs are all specifically requested by the county magistrate!
The eldest son's wife is now making money by selling braised meat with him...
The second son's wife...
She absolutely refused to let her touch any food, fearing it might poison someone...
Seeing that they were not being polite, Yun Qi picked up a bowl of cold noodles and started eating.
Little Mo Bao, however, did not reach out. He stood quietly to the side, looking out of place with everyone else.
Little Su Bao didn't think too much about it. When she saw Little Mo Bao standing to the side, she simply brought him a bowl of cold rice cake.
"Mo Bao, have some!" She handed the chilled rice cake to Mo Bao and reached out to pat his head...
Mo Bao stiffened, pursed her lips, and looked up at Xiao Su Bao somewhat awkwardly.
He frowned, and couldn't help but say, "I'm...the older brother...don't touch!"
Little Su Bao was taken aback, pursed her lips, looked at Mo Bao's serious expression, and said with a hint of doting, "Okay..."
She's doing all this by imitating how her mother treats her!
Ever since that day when Mo Bao called her "Mother," Xiao Su Bao inexplicably felt like she was a mother...
"Um……"
Mo Bao frowned, looking at Xiao Su Bao with eyes as bright as stars, then reached out and ruffled her hair.
"Sister... rub... brother... don't rub..." Mo Bao took a deep breath and tried to say.
"Alright, alright, whatever you say!" Little Su Bao's loving smile immediately amused the Qian family.
Four- or five-year-old children pretending to be elders are always so amusing.
"Haha..." Yun Qi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Mo Bao's face instantly turned red. He turned his head and glared at his second uncle.
"Second... Uncle..." he called out softly!
"Hey, I'm here. What do you need?" Yun Qi asked with a smile as she stood to the side.
My nephew's expression is so cute, he has to look at it a few more times...
Xiao Mobao frowned, his dissatisfaction growing stronger.
Looking at his second uncle's expression, the slight dissatisfaction he had shown quickly disappeared.
He pulled Xiao Su Bao and turned to the side, leaving his second uncle with only their backs to him!
Yun Qi rubbed her nose and started eating cold noodles, but her eyes felt slightly sore.
This wasn't the first time he'd eaten liangpi (cold skin noodles); his sister-in-law used to make it for them every summer.
But after his elder brother and sister-in-law were killed, he hadn't eaten since.
He was raised by his older brother and sister-in-law, whom he considered like his own parents, but now…
Thinking of all this, Yun Qi glanced at Mo Bao secretly. Once the child recovered, he would go and do what he needed to do...
"Mo Bao, be good, try it quickly, or the cold cake will get hot..."
Little Su Bao looked at Mo Bao with bright, sparkling eyes.
With her little hands, she scooped up a large mouthful of the chilled rice cake coated in brown sugar syrup and stuffed it directly into Mo Bao's mouth.
Mo Bao puffed out her cheeks, biting into the sweet, cool rice cake, her eyes suddenly lighting up.
This tastes very similar to the rice cakes my mom used to make for me when I was little!
Mo Bao's eyes sparkled as she looked at Liang Gao.
Seeing this, Xiao Su Bao immediately scooped another spoonful for him.
Little Mo Bao ate quietly, looking elegant and handsome, and his eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
He thought of his mother and father...
Xiao Mobao's body trembled slightly as he buried his head in the bowl.
"Mo Bao is alright, don't be afraid!"
Little Su Bao gently patted Mo Bao's back, mimicking her mother's manner, and said in a gentle voice.
She could sense Xiao Mobao's feelings at that moment, just like when she herself had lost her mother.
Mo Bao paused, and the sadness in her heart vanished instantly!
He was surprisingly a little embarrassed.
"I...I'm fine..." Mo Bao said softly.
He forced back his tears and, to cover it up, quickly finished the cold rice cake in a few bites.
Seeing that Mo Bao was alright and had finished eating two more, the little dumpling became happy.
But this scene angered the Tang brothers.
"Fourth brother, tell me, what does Su Bao like about this kid? Why is she different towards him than towards others?" Tang Qi couldn't help but ask Tang Si.
Tang Si looked at the calligraphy, then at the crispy pastry.
The clever mind connected the dots with some of the things that Xiao Su Bao occasionally said.
"It must be because of her experience that my younger sister felt that Mo Bao was in the same boat as her, which is why she always wanted to take care of him!" Tang Si said softly.
"By the way, what do you think... what gift is my little sister going to give this brat?" Tang Qi said through gritted teeth, it would be a lie to say he wasn't jealous...
Tang Si's expression changed, and then the two exchanged a glance.
Immediately afterwards, he stealthily moved closer to the two little ones.
Sometime later, two people squatted down on either side of Xiao Su Bao and Mo Bao...
Tang Si [｀Д'] Su Bao, Mo Bao (｀ヘ') = 3 Tang Qi...
"Is it delicious..." Tang Qi stared at the calligraphy and suddenly asked quietly.
Mo Bao was startled; his hair stood on end, and he almost stabbed himself with his dagger...
Fortunately, I was able to see who it was at the crucial moment.
"Hmm!" He nodded and took a step back.
Tang Qi touched his nose, and his gaze toward Xiao Mobao became somewhat strange.
In his view, Xiao Mobao was like a young beast ready to attack at any moment, covered in thorns.
"Second brother, fourth brother..."
The little girl puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at the two of them.
"Ahem, we were just joking!" Tang Qi scratched his head and gave a simple, honest smile.
Tang Si stood aside and changed the subject, saying softly, "Weren't you going to catch cicada nymphs? It's about time, we can go now!"
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up immediately: "Mmm!"
Just then, a voice came from outside.
"Sir, sir, where have you gone?" Bai Yinjun shouted, and the whole village could hear the boy's voice.
"I'm here!" Yun Qi called out towards the outside of the wall.
Before long, Bai Yinjun arrived at the Tang family's door with a group of children.
"Oh, is Aunt Su Bao going too?" Bai Yinjun couldn't help but ask as he looked at Su Bao, who had changed into a comfortable outfit.
"Yes, Su Bao is going too!"
Xiao Su Bao nodded, glancing at the children in the village.
In the end, Qian was unable to go because Wang Xiuer insisted on going too.
Madam Qian had no choice but to send the girl back and let the others go.
Yun Qi, Tang Qi, Tang Shan, and Tang Jia Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao were all together, so Qian Shi wasn't too worried about them.
Little Su Bao refused to go anywhere today and stayed close to Yun Qi.
This made Yun Qi find it rather amusing!
"What's wrong with you today, little girl? Why are you following me around?" Yun Qi said helplessly, reaching out to hug the little one.
Little Su Bao didn't say anything, but just stared at Yun Qi with her innocent big eyes.
"Doesn't the master like Su Bao to come along?"
Her babyish voice seemed to carry a hint of disappointment, and her little hands unconsciously clenched her clothes.
The young girl thought the man didn't like her, so she subconsciously lowered her head and gently bit her lip.
Yun Qi was taken aback. He was very observant and naturally noticed the little dumpling's unusual behavior.
Seeing Xiao Su Bao's appearance, Yun Qi couldn't help but chuckle: "Of course the master likes Su Bao, but..."
Upon hearing Yun Qi's words, Xiao Su Bao's heart tightened, and her eyes showed a hint of nervousness.
The little dumpling pursed its lips, waiting for Yun Qi to continue.
"However, could you hold your head up and smile confidently at Mr. Ye next time?" Yun Qi suddenly blinked and said to the little dumpling in a slightly mischievous way.
He was already handsome, and his smile made even the moon lose some of its luster.
Xiao Su Bao paused for a moment, then suddenly pursed her lips, smiled gently, and nodded at Yun Qi.
The little dumpling responded in a sweet, chubby voice, "Okay!"
"Haha, then wait here, sir!" Yun Qi smiled and reached out to ruffle the little dumpling's hair.
Little Mo Bao frowned as he watched his second uncle straining.
Before he could speak, Bai Yinjun and the others in front of him had already started shouting excitedly.
"Look! There are so many cicada nymphs crawling out!" the boy exclaimed excitedly.
Little Su Bao couldn't help but look over, curious about how the cicada nymphs climbed.
Bai Yinjun excitedly took the torch and tossed the cicada nymphs from the soil stuck nearby into his basket...
Little Su Bao pursed her lips, also somewhat tempted.
But when the little dumpling glanced at Yun Qi's head, all its excitement vanished instantly!
She gripped Yun Qi's clothes tightly, looking rather serious.
Even her breathing became slightly lighter.
Her breathing became a little tense.
They're here, they're here...
She clenched her fists...
Yun Qi was in a good mood and didn't notice the little dumpling's unusual behavior, but Xiao Mo Bao noticed it.
He thought of something and stood firmly in front of Xiao Su Bao and the others.
This afternoon, the little dumpling noticed that her husband was going to have bad luck, as his head had gotten quite blackened.
But the little dumpling doesn't know when her husband might be in trouble...
It's a bit different from before!
Just now, she finally saw the crisis!
