The little tree darted away, then returned a moment later carrying the sleepy-eyed Gai Xue.
Su Yun'er took Gai Xue and gestured to show his small head: "Look, this is the size of Gai Xue's head. Compare it to your own heads."
Upon hearing this request, the little trees and grass giggled and gestured to each other's heads, then looked at Su Yun'er's head.
"Mother, our heads are all bigger than Gai Xue's."
“Very good. Now, little tree, try crawling like you’re covered in snow. Can you keep your head up the whole time?”
Xiao Shu scratched his head and, following Su Yun'er's instructions, put his hands and feet on the ground. He then realized that he could only stare at a small patch of the ground. He tried to lift himself up, but his neck started to ache after only a few tries.
"No, Mom, I can lift it up, but my neck can't support it, and my head is so heavy."
"Alright, get up now." Su Yun'er patted the dirt off Xiao Shu's hands.
"Just like the little tree demonstrated earlier, the human head is too heavy. It's very tiring to keep it up while crawling, so we walk upright. And the reason why the human head is heavy is because the human head is large, which means the human brain is large..."
"Mother, what is a brain granulation tissue?"
“This…” Su Yun’er coughed twice, “The brain we dug out last time when we ate wild boar, that’s the brain.”
The grass immediately turned green, and the sapling's expression wasn't good either.
They all recalled the scene after the pig was slaughtered, when Su Yun'er cut open the pig's skull and took out the pig's brains, a sight that gave them a headache.
Pig brains became the only dish that Su Yun'er had ever made that the two of them didn't like.
After finishing her explanation of pig brains, Su Yun'er continued her story. The little trees and grass listened attentively; everything Su Yun'er said was so new and exciting to them, things they had never heard of before.
"Okay, that's the first few sentences."
After explaining each word, Su Yun'er also wrote down the corresponding sentences on the ground.
Su Yun'er pointed to the words on the ground with a wooden stick: "Write down these twenty-odd characters and learn to write them. Do you remember the stroke order rules I told you about earlier?"
"We remember." The little tree and grass nodded and repeated in unison, "Horizontal first, then vertical; left-falling stroke first, then right-falling stroke; from top to bottom, from left to right, from the middle to the sides, from the outside to the inside."
"Okay, go practice. I'll check on you this afternoon."
After finishing her class, Su Yun'er stretched and left the study corner.
Grandma Chen had already brewed the hawthorn tea, and Su Yun'er, her mouth dry from talking, downed two cups in a row.
Is Lady Su here?
Someone knocked on the door; the voice sounded somewhat familiar. Old Mrs. Chen went out and saw a strange woman standing at the door.
The woman was dressed neatly and cleanly, and her clothes were made of good quality; she didn't seem to be from an ordinary family.
"Who are you looking for? Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Grandma Chen's classic three-question series cracked the smile on the other person's face.
But considering the purpose of her master's summons, she could only continue smiling and say, "I'm here to see Madam Su. I'm from the Sun family."
Upon hearing that it was the Sun family, Old Madam Chen's attitude became more enthusiastic.
The Sun family sent so many delicious things to our home before.
Later, when Miss Sun came to visit, she had a meal at her house. After returning home, she had several large fish and a pile of fresh fruit sent over.
Therefore, all those who come from the Sun residence must be distinguished guests.
Old Mrs. Chen let Wen Mama into the courtyard and wanted to invite her into the house, but Wen Mama said she would not go in: "The master has something for me to do, so I will just say a few words to Madam Su and then leave."
Having been called out several times in a row, Su Yun'er, who was chugging water in the room, could no longer stay inside.
"Granny Wen, is there anything I can do for you today?" Su Yun'er stepped out of the room.
“Madam Su, the last time you visited my residence, you made a few dishes that my young lady really liked. She even had her cook try to recreate them, but they just didn’t taste the same as yours. These past few days, the young lady hasn’t been feeling well, and our matriarch would like to trouble you again.”
So that's how it is.
When Su Yun'er heard that Sun Wanqing was ill, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong with Miss Wanqing?"
"She probably caught a cold; she has no appetite for anything," said Granny Wen, her face showing some worry.
Sun Wanqing's health has never been very good; she suffers from minor illnesses every year.
"I understand. Then I'll make some more food and send it to your residence," she said, then changed the subject and added, "Or would you prefer me to make it at your residence?"
Su Yun'er thought of the large kitchen in the Sun family mansion that had everything. It would be good to go there and cook, since they had all the ingredients, so she wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of preparing them herself.
Recently, with the upgrading of fields in the game space, it has become increasingly difficult to accumulate points by farming and harvesting. If a certain action could earn ten points before, now it's considered good to get two or three.
Hmph, even points can be inflated, what a shady game.
Because points are hard to earn, Su Yun'er is becoming increasingly reluctant to use them for transactions that require points.
"Whatever is convenient for you, Madam," said Granny Wen immediately. "If you are short of ingredients, just tell us and we will bring them to you right away."
Su Yun'er thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the manor. There are more materials there. I can use them to my advantage when I get there, and it will save you all the trouble of running back and forth."
Upon hearing this, Granny Wen smiled and said, "My lady is very considerate. Then please get ready, and I will wait for you outside with the carriage."
Watching Granny Wen retreat outside the door, Su Yun'er touched her nose.
Compared to the previous times I met her, she has changed from being aloof to being kind and approachable.
Su Yun'er was unsure whether this kindness was genuine or simply a matter of politeness and friendliness because she needed her help at the moment.
But it didn't matter. It was just a nodding acquaintance. As long as he didn't cause trouble for Su Yun'er, Su Yun'er didn't intend to make enemies.
"Mother, I'll change my clothes and go to the Sun residence. You can eat your own lunch. I don't think I'll be back in time."
Grandma Chen nodded, then whispered, "Why didn't the nanny mention how much she would be paid?"
Su Yun'er shushed her, "It's alright, Mom. I quite like that girl Sun Wanqing. Even if we're just friends who've met a few times, she's not feeling well and came to me for help, so I can't refuse. I should go and see her. Money doesn't matter."
Although she loves money, she doesn't have to do everything for money.
After a quick wash and change of clothes, Su Yun'er boarded the Sun family's carriage and headed towards the Sun family residence in Yongning City.
On the way, Su Yun'er inquired about Sun Wanqing's condition. Granny Wen said, "She started having a fever two days ago. It was snowing heavily that night, and the young lady was building a snowman and having a snowball fight with her maid in the courtyard. She probably sweated and took off her cloak and caught a chill. She started having a fever that night, and it's been three days now. She's still having a fever on and off."
"What did the doctor say?"
