Yu Sui had no choice but to pull Ursula into the room to do some thinking: "Godmother, that little girl is the child's biological aunt."
Wu Su pouted: "I heard it, she kept calling herself, 'Little Tangyuan, smile at auntie', 'Little Tangyuan, auntie hold you', what a little elf, humph!"
Yu Sui could only smile and say, "Well, never mind her. So have you changed your mind?"
Wu Su: "What do you mean?"
"Come with me to the capital and help take care of the child."
"Isn't this the right question for me? You said before that you would let me go to the capital with you for a few months, but as soon as I left, you found someone else. You don't want me anymore!"
Yu Sui: “…” She felt like a heartless woman.
Yu Sui was both angry and amused:
"Actually, I didn't find her. She came here on her own. I didn't like her originally, but considering my family's situation, I kept her for now. After the New Year, I'm going to send her to a technical school. As for you, I still hope you can go to the capital with me. My mother won't be able to help me for a few months, so I still need people. Do you want to come with me?"
After hearing this, Wu Su immediately calmed down and sat on the kang, scratching his head: "So that's how it is. It makes me look stingy!"
Yu Sui looked at Wu Su's embarrassed expression and smiled, "That's right! But I know you love little Tangyuan very much. I'd be really happy if you could help."
Wu Su sighed softly and lowered his head. "Actually, I can't. Not long after I returned this time, the old patriarch passed away."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was wondering why you haven't come back in a few days. It turns out something so serious has happened. Is there anything I can do for your tribe?"
"It's okay. The old patriarch was already over eighty years old, which is considered a very long life in our tribe. Even though he has passed away, I will be handling all the tribe's affairs for the time being. I can be gone for three days, but I definitely can't be gone for several months."
"I understand. How long will you stay here?"
"I..." Wu Su looked up and looked outside. "I miss Xiao Tangyuan so much. It's strange. He's not my father. I'll be away for a few days. I really miss him. I... I'd better stay for one night and keep him company. Then I'll go back the next day. The tribe has a sacrifice the day after tomorrow."
Yu Sui stood up immediately: "Okay, I'll go arrange dinner now. Let's eat early. Later you will live with my sister-in-law. Her name is Xia Xiao'e. You can call her Xiao'e."
"Okay. By the way, I also want to see if she treats little Tangyuan well."
"That's what I thought too. Now that you've seen it, I feel relieved."
In the evening, Yu Sui specially made the steamed pork slices that Wu Su liked and put them in front of her.
Xia Xiao'e looked at Wu Su, then at Yu Sui, and wisely didn't touch the meat. Yu Sui took the initiative to pick up a few slices for her and put them on her bowl. "My godmother will be leaving after one night, so we're treating her to dinner today. You can try this meat too. If you like it, we can make it another day."
Xia Xiao'e nodded sensibly: "Thank you, sister-in-law. Your godmother is also my godmother. I'll eat right away. After I eat, I'll boil some water for you and make the bed."
Yu Sui: "Yes, you two will sleep on the same kang at night. Little Tangyuan will have his last feeding at nine o'clock and will sleep with you too."
"I understand, sister-in-law."
Wu Sudang heard nothing, he just buried his head and ate the plate of meat in front of him.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, before dawn, Xia Lin had just gone out for patrol when Wu Su knocked on the door and came in.
Yu Sui let her in sleepily: "What are you doing up so early?"
Wu Su was already dressed. She stood beside Yu Sui's kang and curled her lips, "Well, I'm relieved. I'll just get up and go early."
Yu Sui: "You mean Xia Xiao'e is pretty good, right?"
"I don't know if she is okay, but I feel that Xiao Tangyuan is very safe with her. But there is one thing that is very strange, you see..." Wu Su rolled up his arms to show Yu Sui.
When Tangyuan was just born, her two arms were different. Later, she prayed for the child, and the color of both arms improved. But now, the originally red one has become half red and half white, which looks very strange.
Yu Sui thought that no one’s body would be like this. “Yours…was it like this the few days after you went back?”
"No." Wu Su shook his head very firmly: "It's only been like this since I started holding little Tangyuan yesterday."
Yu Sui began to worry: "So... what does this mean?"
Wu Su: "You're being so clear. I don't know what you're asking. But I don't feel unwell. And last night, little Tangyuan agreed to sleep next to me again. I was very happy and calm. I think it's a good sign, so I'm relieved. I'm telling you this just to let you know there's this hint. I'm leaving now."
Yu Sui listened to this and had no better solution, so she said, "Okay. I think Henu has received everything I asked him to give you. I wish you and your people a happy new year."
"The same to you."
Wu Su didn't want anyone to see him off. He wrapped his hood around his waist and left.
The next day was the Lunar New Year’s Eve.
With Xia Xiao'e looking after the children, Yu Sui prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
Considering that she would be leaving in two days, Yu Sui made a lot of dumplings and froze them in the snow outside, which would last Xia Linbei a long time.
Yu Sui also prepared clothes for Xia Xiao'e to wear during the New Year - a bright red woolen coat.
After preparing the meal in the afternoon, Yu Sui gave the coat to Xia Xiao'e:
"Xiao E, this coat can only be worn indoors here. When we get to the capital, we can wear it outside. And since you don't have a coat, you can just take it out and wear it every day."
Xia Xiao'e touched the clothes over and over again, liking them a thousand times but still reluctant to wear them. "Such a nice dress, such good material, such a beautiful color... Sister-in-law, I dare say that none of the brides getting married in our brigade have such nice clothes. Sister-in-law, you... you are so good to me!"
Yu Sui: "Yes, I treat you very well. Why?"
Xia Xiao'e: "I will definitely take good care of your little glutinous rice balls!"
Yu Sui smiled: "It seems that this is the only way you can do it now. But I have to tell you that this dress was bought with the ten yuan that I originally gave to your parents every month. If you buy this dress, your brother will not give your parents any money this month. Do you still think I am a good person?"
Xia Xiao'e opened her mouth wide at first, then blinked her eyes: "Really?"
"Really. Are you still wearing it?"
"Wear it! Sister-in-law, you bought me such nice clothes, I'll wear them!"
"With one more person in the family, there's an extra expense. Plus, I'm going to the capital to study. Since I'm taking you and Little Tangyuan with me, I have to rent a place to live. I have to buy you food at a bargain price, and all sorts of food. It's beyond our means, so we won't give your parents any money anymore. What do you think?"
