The prayer began.
Wu Su first spread a blanket on the ground and placed the small dumplings in the middle of the blanket.
Wu Su began to hold up her props, walk around the blanket in circles, and chant scriptures.
The sound of the bell, combined with the scriptures Wu Su was chanting, formed a desolate and powerful chant that floated throughout the house.
A sense of awe naturally arose in Yu Sui's heart.
She also knelt down silently and prayed to the gods in her heart, hoping that her child would be healthy and have a long and happy life.
The Wusu ceremony was longer, and her expression behind the mask could not be seen, but her every movement revealed her seriousness and piety, which deeply moved Yu Sui who was watching.
The ringing became louder and more nervous in the last section, but miraculously, the child was not woken up and fell asleep peacefully.
Finally, Wu Su placed some colorful silk threads on the child's body, and the chanting gradually softened and ended with sobs that gradually faded away.
But Wu Su suddenly seemed to lose strength and fell on the blanket, only a fist's distance away from the baby.
Yu Sui was startled and looked at her quickly: "Godmother, are you okay?"
Wu Su stretched out her hands to her face with great effort to take off the mask, but it seemed that she didn't even have the strength to do so.
Yu Sui hurried to help, untying the rope tied behind her head and taking off the mask.
But Wu Su's face was pale and his lips were bloodless.
Yu Sui was a little surprised: "Godmother, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Su shook his head: "It's okay, let me lie down for a while."
"Aren't you praying for blessings? You...why do you look like you're seriously ill?"
"You don't understand. I pray to the four gods and Buddhas to bless the child's safety. But it's my spirit that's changing. I'm fine. I just need to rest."
Yu Sui really didn’t understand.
After all, we have different beliefs, so we can only remain silent, for fear that we might say something wrong and cause trouble.
Yu Sui just tried to help her up: "Godmother, I'll take you to your room to sleep, and then make you some chicken soup to nourish yourself."
Before Wu Su could reply, the little guy next to him woke up. He stopped crying and looked at the two people in front of him with his big watery eyes.
Wu Su's eyes were always on him, so when the child woke up, Wu Su saw it before Yu Sui.
"Hey, Tangyuan, you're awake? You feel good and comfortable, don't you?"
"Uh, ah, giggle..." The little kid actually laughed out loud.
That smile that showed off her pink gums made Yu Sui and Wu Su laugh too.
Wu Su seemed to have strength back all of a sudden. She reached out and picked up the child, holding him high up. She muttered something to herself for a while, then put the child back in her arms and said to Yu Sui, "From now on, he will be my heir. I will give him everything I have!"
"Ah?" Yu Sui was so shocked that she quickly snatched the child back: "No, I can't let him leave me!"
Wu Su rolled her eyes at Yu Sui: "I said I would give him everything. Did I say I wanted him to leave you?"
Yu Sui finally relaxed a little: "Then I am worried. I am worried that you will take the child away from me."
Wu Su was not angry at all: "What nonsense are you talking about? I was a mother myself. How could I take away someone else's child and make them suffer? I just want to tell you that this child is very smart and well-behaved. I will teach him our ethnic language in the future. If he grows up and is willing to speak, he can also become our high priest. Why..."
Wu Su paused and rolled up his sleeves again to show Yu Sui.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe my eyes. The two arms that were different colors before have obviously improved now.
A red one, without those rash-like spots; a white one, without that frightening paleness.
Yu Sui stared at it for a long time, then looked at the baby smiling at her. Suddenly, she felt that she understood something: "Godmother, was there something wrong with this child before?"
Wu Su sighed, "What do you think?"
Yu Sui was silent.
Before, this child woke up too rarely, and I thought it was like this for babies, but now looking at his big black eyes, I can compare.
Before, he rarely made eye contact with anyone, and he had never giggled like this.
Wu Su supported himself on the ground and struggled to stand up. "I've said it all, some things can only be felt by oneself and can't be explained clearly. Anyway, the child is much better now, and the price I paid is worth it."
Yu Sui hugged the child and bowed deeply to her seriously: "Godmother, thank you."
"No need. I just like him."
Wu Su leaned against the wall and returned to his guest room.
In the next few days, she was obviously exhausted, and Yu Sui brought meals to her bedside every day.
But correspondingly, little Tangyuan woke up longer and longer every day, loved to laugh, and when he lay alone on the kang, he would speak baby language "er er ah ah", and the sound was like the sound of nature.
The more Yu Sui heard such laughter, the more grateful she felt towards Wu Su. It was really magical. Although some things were not stated explicitly, the difference was so huge. As a mother, could she still pretend that nothing had happened?
When Wu Su is about to leave this time, she must give Wu Su some nice gifts.
But before Wu Su left, Han Duomi called. Her voice was filled with excitement: "Sister-in-law, it's been announced, officially announced, the college entrance examination has really been resumed! Oh my God, I'm a retired soldier, I can sign up, I really can sign up!"
Yu Sui was infected by his voice and immediately became excited: "Really? That's great, that's great. By the way, have you prepared all the review materials these days? They're about to go on sale!"
"I've sorted them out. There are 10,000 copies in total. Now, tell me how you want to sell them. I'll do whatever you say."
"First, go find the principal of the university and tell him that we have a thousand copies of review materials. Ask him to help us sell them. For every copy sold, we can give the school a commission of ten cents."
Han Duomi was a little confused: "What about the remaining 10,000 books? What should we do?"
"Don't we have our phone number inside the brochure? If anyone calls to place an order, we'll start selling it at a slightly higher price for orders of 100 or more. Those who call us must have known about the material but didn't buy it. So, they're willing to buy it even at a slightly higher price."
"I understand! Then I'll call the principal right away."
"Well, go ahead and get busy. I have to take care of the kids here, so I'll leave this to you."
"Don't worry, I will definitely sell all of these."
Knowing that he really had a chance to take the college entrance examination, Han Duomi's voice was different, so positive and full of hope.
Yu Sui was also very happy. It seemed that it was a good idea to prepare these things in advance. A rough calculation showed that she could earn one dollar for each copy of these review materials, which meant she could make at least ten thousand dollars this time!
You know, these days, most people's monthly salary is only about 30 yuan. She made 10,000 yuan in one go, which is really a big deal.
