Ch 57:New House 2

Start from the beginning
                                    

The bone soup was thick and white, and the vegetables were cooked until they were soft. The white rice emitted a fragrance. After playing all afternoon, Su Chong and Su Hua were already hungry, but they were neither anxious nor noisy. They waited obediently for dinner.

Madam Zhao said, "Sanlang, go and invite Doctor Wu over to eat with us."

Su Sanlang nodded and went out the door.

But soon, he came back dejectedly and said, "Doctor Wu doesn't seem to be home. Let's eat by ourselves."

Madam Zhao nodded and scooped rice for the children. Everyone got a bowl of rice. After Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao sat down, Su Sanlang picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks for Madam Zhao and said "Eat. This is our first meal in our new home. From now on, our family will be safe."

Madam Zhao's eyes turned red as she smiled and agreed. "Alright, everyone is safe."

Su Sanmei picked up another piece of meat for Su Chong, Su Hua, and Su Sanmei and said, "Chong, Hua, and Sanmei, you have to grow up healthily."

"Yes."

Su Chong, Su Hua, and Su Sanmei answered in unison.

"Good."

Su Sanlang looked at the three children gently. His gaze finally landed on Su Xiaolu, who was in Madam Zhao's arms. Seeing Su Xiaolu gulp as she stared at the meat, Su Sanlang's heart warmed. He smiled and said, "Darling, look, our Simei wants to eat meat too."

Su Xiaolu did want to eat it. In fact, she was almost four months old and could eat some meat.

It was mainly because Madam Zhao's dishes looked very delicious. That Supo meat looked so soft and mushy. It must be very delicious.

Madam Zhao smiled and said, "Simei is almost four months old. Speaking of which, she can also eat some meat now. Sanmei, why don't you let Simei try some meat today?"

Su Xiaolu's eyes lit up. She wriggled happily and smiled sweetly at Su Sanlang.

The family was amused.

Su Sanlang smiled and nodded. "Okay, let's give Simei some good meat. She can have some rice too."

Madam Zhao nodded and began to push aside a lump of meat. She picked up the soft fat inside with her chopsticks and cut it into the size of a rice grain. Then, she blew on it and fed it to Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu was overjoyed. To be honest, she was really afraid that Madam Zhao would chew it up for her.

Fortunately, she didn't.

"Simei, is it good?"

Su Sanmei tilted her head and asked Su Xiaolu with a smile.

Su Xiaolu smacked her lips and smiled at Su Sanmei. Of course, it was delicious.

However, she couldn't eat too much. She wouldn't be able to digest it. She could only have a small amount of it every day.

Madam Zhao fed Su Xiaolu some more, but Su Xiaolu refused to eat it after a while. She turned her head to the side to show that she did not want anymore.

At night, the family washed up and went to bed.

Su Chong and Su Hua slept in the same room.

Su Sanmei still stayed in the same room as her parents.

Su Xiaolu only drank milk once before bed at night and could sleep through the entire night.

Only when she needed to pee would she groan and wake Madam Zhao or Su Sanlang up.

Every time Madam Zhao brought Su Xiaolu to the toilet, she would kiss her cheek and say gently, "Simei is so obedient."

Su Xiaolu would smile, then yawn and go back to sleep.

The next morning, Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang got up and heated up some leftover buns and vegetable soup from last night. After the family ate, Madam Zhao carried Su Xiaolu on her back and covered her with a cotton cloth to block the wind. The family closed the door and went to town.

As it was their first time going to town, Su Chong and Su Hua were even more obedient than usual. They held Madam Zhao's hand tightly and were a little uneasy about the unfamiliar road.

They had never been out of the village before. It was the first time they had left a familiar place and they were afraid.

Therefore, they held Madam Zhao's hand tightly and looked at Su Sanlang.

Even Su Sanmei was a little scared, but she was also curious about what the outside world would be like.

Madam Wang seemed to have something on her mind. The road out of the village seemed to remind her of the memories of being sold ten years ago. Before she was bought by Madam Wang, she had been brought to many places. They were all unfamiliar and unbearable, like buying and selling livestock. Those gazes made her feel afraid every time she thought of them.

Su Sanlang said gently, "Darling, don't be afraid. Just follow me. When we enter the city later, we'll go to the Miscellaneous Medical Hall to see a doctor for Chong and Hua first before taking a look at your condition. After we get the medicine, we'll go shopping."
