234 Dahu
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao still didn’t know that Wei Ting had been captured and brought back to the Wei family.
She entered the pharmacy again.
She guessed that it was because she had treated a critical patient that the pharmacy came to reward her again.
She was looking forward to what medicine it would be this time.
However, what puzzled her was that there were no medicine or health supplements on the table in the lounge at all. There was only an extremely ordinary pair of gloves.
It was a little thicker than cotton gloves, a little thinner than insulation gloves, and its fingers were well-defined.
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
She slept a lot during the day and was not sleepy at night. She woke up just after midnight.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the gloves by the pillow and chuckled. “Is this for me to cook? Are you afraid of hurting my hand?”
There was no need to make snacks for a while. She became very free in the morning.
She kneaded the noodles first, steamed a pot of white steamed buns and cornmeal cornbread, roasted two sweet potatoes, and boiled a few eggs.
She had almost finished the peanut butter and sesame sauce she had brought from the countryside on the way. Later, she had to go to the market to buy peanuts and sesame seeds.
When Wei Ting returned, he would grind the sauce…
When the sweet potato was almost roasted, Su Xiaoxiao pulled it out of the stove with tongs.
While waiting for the air to cool, she went to clean up the courtyard.
Zhong Shan sent firewood again.
Zhong Shan wanted to help clean up the courtyard. Su Xiaoxiao looked at his hunched back and gestured with sign language. “No need, I’ll do it myself.”
Zhong Shan was slightly stunned as if he was very surprised that Su Xiaoxiao knew sign language.
Not only was he mute, but he was also deaf. However, he knew how to read lips. As long as ordinary people did not call him from behind, they would not notice that he was deaf.
As for speaking sign language, fewer people would use it with him.
He didn’t use it with others. He wrote when he needed to communicate.
Although they were all expressions, sign language and writing had different meanings, especially for deaf people.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “I made a pot of snacks yesterday and left two boxes for you.”
While Zhong Shan was still immersed in the shock of Su Xiaoxiao actually communicating with him in sign language, Su Xiaoxiao had already entered the house and taken out the snacks.
Su Xiaoxiao handed the box to him and said, “A box of sweet and savory food.”
When Zhong Shan came out of the courtyard with snacks, his eyes were a little moist.
While Su Xiaoxiao sat in the kitchen eating sweet potatoes, a round head poked in.
“Dahu?” Su Xiaoxiao was surprised.
“Mother.” Dahu entered the kitchen.
“So early? Do you want to pee?” Su Xiaoxiao put down the sweet potato and wanted to take him to the toilet.
He shook his head and handed the headband to Su Xiaoxiao.
“You’re not sleeping anymore?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“I’m not sleeping anymore,” Dahu said in a childish voice.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and took the headband, letting him sit on her lap. Her fingers circled his soft hair and tied it up bit by bit.
“Why are you up so early?” she asked.
“Walking the foal,” Dahu said.
Dahu was a responsible child. Every time he walked the foal, his two brothers would skive. He was the only one who persisted seriously.
The foal that was more than two months old looked very strong. It was impossible to tell that it was once a premature foal.
Seeing Dahu come over, it jumped up happily.
Su Xiaoxiao accompanied Dahu to walk the foal.
Dahu held the reins in one hand and half a sweet potato in the other. He nibbled on it with his glutinous rice-like teeth.
It had only been a few days since she moved in, and Su Xiaoxiao was not familiar with the neighbors in the alley. However, it was strange that they knew Dahu!
“It’s Dahu, right? He’s here to walk a horse again.”
An auntie who was sweeping leaves at the entrance of the courtyard said.
Dahu greeted politely, “Grandma Zhao.”
“Hey!” Auntie Zhao smiled and said, “How obedient. Eh? Who is this?”
She looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
Dahu puffed out his chest and said, “My mother.”
Auntie Zhao was dumbfounded. “Ah… This, this… young mother… is blessed.”
She could just say that she was fat.
Su Xiaoxiao greeted politely, “Auntie Zhao.”
“Hey, hey!” Aunt Zhao nodded repeatedly.
After that, they met a few neighbors. As expected, Dahu knew all of them and took the initiative to introduce his mother to them.
Su Xiaoxiao was confused.
...
How did he manage to identify all the neighbors in the alley within three days?
Could this be the legendary socially awesome disease?
Among the three little fellows, Erhu spoke the best. She had always thought that if there was really a popularity contest in the alley, it would be Erhu who would be crowned the winner.
Dahu must have been hiding his strength.
“No one lives in this house.”
“It’s the same for this house.”
As Dahu walked, he introduced the neighbors to Su Xiaoxiao.
“How do you know?” Su Xiaoxiao asked. “Maybe they were just going out to visit their relatives and will be back in a few days?”
“Grandma Zhao said so,” Dahu said.
Su Xiaoxiao was even more stunned.
She could not help but think of Dahu with a milky face, squatting on the ground and chatting seriously with the aunties and women…
...
“Do you know him?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Dahu. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
