Chen Hu helped Su Sanlang pick some grass. When he saw that the Su siblings had cleaned up the well, his worries about Su Sanlang disappeared.

Although Su Chong and Su Hua were silly, they were obedient.

Su Sanlang looked at the well, which had been mostly cleaned. It will be ready for use tomorrow afternoon after another round of cleaning. He stroked the children's hair with relief. "Be good, all of you. Wash your hands. Let's make dinner. Dad will bury some chestnuts for you in the fire pit later."

"Okay."

The children nodded happily, and Su Sanmei immediately went to help with the fire.

At night, they had bacon vegetable soup that did not have much oil in it. They would occasionally taste the minced meat inside.

Su Chong, Su Hua, and Su Sanmei would never covet what's in the pot. After Su Sanlang scooped their portions for them, they ate it obediently and slowly. Occasionally, when they got to the meat, their eyes would light up and they would chew on this little bit of meat.

Su Sanlang sent the food to Madam Zhao. As Madam Zhao was eating, she said with concern, "Sanlang, you should go and eat too."

Su Sanlang nodded. Being constantly cared for warmed his heart. He smiled and said, "No rush. Let me check on Simei."

Su Xiaolu looked at her father and yawned.

Needless to say, she saw the words 'I love you' in her father's eyes. She must be a beautiful and cute little daughter.

At this point, Su Xiaolu had never looked into a bronze mirror before, so she naturally did not know that she had not bathed since she was born. There was still some fetal fat on her body, and a layer of it was still buried in her hair.

However, this didn't stop Su Sanlang from liking her. He liked to look into Su Xiaolu's eyes because they were bright and full of life. Just by looking at them, he could understand what Dr. Wu meant when he said that her eyes had life in them. They were shiny, intelligent, and lovable.

"Good girl, be good. I'm going to eat too. I'll hug you properly after I'm done."

Su Sanlang spoke to Su Xiaolu. It was strange for adults to talk to children. After all, children would not understand.

Yet, Su Sanlang didn't think so. He thought his little girl understood his words. When he spoke, her eyes looked at him seriously. She even opened her cute mouth wide, as if she was saying, "Oh, oh, I know."

Su Sanlang couldn't help but smile. Then, he said to Madam Zhao, "Darling, call me when you're done eating. I'll go eat."

Madam Zhao smiled and nodded. "Alright, go ahead and eat."

Madam Zhao's heart ached for Su Sanlang's hard work. She only wanted him to go eat quickly. He had been busy all day and there was no good food at home. How could he not be hungry?

Su Sanlang went out to eat. There was not much white rice in the meal, and it was almost all ground corn. He could not bear to eat too much of the vegetables, so he only scooped up a little soup to eat.

After dinner, he asked the Su siblings to wash the dishes together. After cleaning the dishes, the three siblings could dig up the chestnuts buried in the fire pit to eat. Meanwhile, Sanlang moved a small round wooden stool and started to weave grass.

The weeds were dry. Most of them could be used directly. The bottom layer had to be woven tight so that it wouldn't leak.

He had been weaving for an hour when Chen Hu arrived. The two of them did not speak much and worked silently.
