Zhu Hongan is four years old. In the past, Liu'er had always celebrated his birthday secretly. Even if she wanted to celebrate for him, she had nothing to celebrate with.
But this year is different.
Su Liuer is here, and she has money.
This was the first time Zhu Hongan received a proper birthday gift. As soon as he arrived at Wang Po's house, Su Liuer gave him the gift she had prepared.
They were two brand new sets of clothes, in blue, a color that was obviously suitable for boys.
Zhu Hongan held the two sets of clothes in his hands, his eyes brighter because of the moisture. He liked this gift very much.
"Mom will give you a bath first and change you into new clothes."
"Yeah!" The little guy's joy was clearly written on his face, and Su Liuer was also very happy to see it.
If a gift is liked, the person who gives it will be no less happy than the person who receives it.
Su Liuer didn't buy clothes for herself after earning money, but she had been thinking about buying clothes for Zhu Hongan. However, children of his age grow fast, so she didn't buy too many. She just bought two sets so that they could switch between them.
Zhu Hongan took a bath and changed into new clothes, happily spinning around in circles.
He looked down, reached out to touch it, and his big eyes were filled with satisfaction and joy.
"Just do your homework. I'll go help Grandma Wang."
"Yeah!" Zhu Hongan went to the hall with a cloth bag in his arms. This was the only table in the house that could be used for homework.
In the kitchen, the chicken soup that Mrs. Wang had cooked long ago was already wafting with fragrance and bubbling softly in the pot.
Su Liuer had asked the old man with the donkey to send the ingredients she bought in the morning back to Wang Pozi. Except for the chicken soup which had already been stewed, the pig's feet and pork belly had also been processed and were just waiting for Su Liuer to come back and put them in the pot.
The food cooked by Su Liuer tastes better.
"Mother-in-law, you go and have a rest. Leave the rest to me." Su Liuer pushed Wang Po out of the kitchen.
When Mrs. Wang returned to the room, she saw Zhu Hongan doing his homework and did not disturb him. She went back to her room to do needlework. She was now following Su Liuer in the business of herbal jelly honey, but she did not give up the embroidery work and would do some whenever she had time.
As long as there is money to be made, she will never think it is too much.
What's more, the longer she lived with Su Liuer, the more she felt sorry for her and always wanted to help her as much as possible.

Zhu Xiaoxue is the only one in Zhu’s family who remembers Zhu Hongan’s birthday.
In previous years, she would secretly leave some extra food for Zhu Hongan, but that was all. This year, she specially prepared a gift for Zhu Hongan.
It was a small purse she made by herself.
The small purse has Zhu Hongan's name embroidered on it. It looks small and cute and is very suitable for children.
Zhu Xiaoxue was very considerate and came over to give gifts to Su Liuer and the others before they started eating.
At this time, Su Liuer was still busy in the kitchen. She was not in the mood to receive Zhu Xiaoxue, so she was received by Wang Po.
Zhu Xiaoxue didn't say much and just took out the gift and gave it to Zhu Hongan.
"Hongan, today is your fourth birthday. This is a little gift from your aunt. I hope you like it."
Zhu Hongan looked at the small purse that Zhu Xiaoxue handed over. It was light blue and had his name embroidered on it.
However, he did not reach out to take it, but looked at Mrs. Wang beside him.
When Mrs. Wang saw the purse, her expression was a little subtle. When she saw Zhu Hongan looking at her, she smiled and said:
"Since your aunt prepared it for you, just accept it."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongan reached out to take the purse and nodded, saying, "Thank you, thank you."
Zhu Xiaoxue's expression was complicated for a moment. This was the first time Zhu Hongan spoke to her.
