Chapter 274: Bully Xiaoxiao
There was no business the next day. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have to wake up early to make snacks, but her biological clock woke her up on time.
She decided to put on her clothes and go to the backyard to train.
Just as she walked out of the house, she saw Su Cheng, who was always asleep until late in the morning, sitting on the small stool, eating a piece of fruit in each hand.
“Dad, so early?”
Su Xiaoxiao greeted him in confusion.
“My daughter is up.” Su Cheng burped. “Sigh, I can’t sleep at the thought that these fruits will spoil if I don’t eat them.”
Beside him was a heavy basket filled with loquats that Dahu had picked from the orchard. They were sweet and juicy.
Dahu had plucked a lot. Deng An had sent it over.
However, the children at home were not interested in fresh loquats. Su Ergou did not like to eat them either, so there were many left.
Su Cheng was someone who had experienced famine. He had grown up hungry and cold and could not stand wasting food.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t say, “Stop eating. We’ll have to spend money to treat your stomach if you get sick. ”
She thought for a moment and said to Su Cheng, who was clearly unable to eat anymore, but was still stuffing it into his mouth, “Dad, leave some for me.”
“Alright.” Su Cheng burped again.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Can you give them all to me?”
Su Cheng trembled. “Are you going to throw it away?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “No, I’ll make delicious food.”
Su Xiaoxiao removed the skin and core of the washed loquat. The orange flesh was cut into small pieces and placed into two alms bowls. One alms bowl contained three spoonfuls of rock sugar, and the other only contained one and a half spoonfuls of rock sugar.
She added a small amount of clear water and waited for the rock sugar to melt and marinate into the taste before cooking it in the pot.
Because loquats were prone to oxidation and turning black, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t boil them in an iron pot. Instead, she took out a pair of purple sand jars.
When the soup was simmered over a fire, the entire jar of loquats would be thick.
Five catties of loquat would yield nearly two catties of jam. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
This way, the three little ones and Su Ergou would like to eat it.
Su Xiaoxiao kept half of it and divided the other half into two small jars to send to the neighbors at the east end.
It was Deng An who opened the door.
Deng An was surprised to see Su Xiaoxiao.
His first reaction was that she had brought Xiaohu to learn the zither from Young Master. He shuddered and hurriedly looked behind Su Xiaoxiao.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he didn’t see the little guy.
At this moment, the sound of vomiting came from the house. An uncomfortable expression flashed across Deng An’s face.
He stole a glance at Su Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the other party’s face, he was slightly relieved.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is your young master feeling unwell?”
Deng An hesitated for a moment and said, “Young Master… will be like this after eating something. ”
Vomiting as soon as he ate?
No wonder he was so thin.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Has your young master seen a doctor?”
Deng An shook his head. “Young Master said that he’s not sick and refused to see a doctor.” It seemed that he was afraid of treatment.
Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask, “How long has your young master been in this condition?”
Deng An said, “A few years. I served Young Master two years ago. Young Master was already like this then.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
Deng An continued, “However, my young master can eat two or three of your snacks.”
Even the children did not only eat two or three pieces. However, if one knew how difficult it was for their young master to eat something, they would understand how rare it was to eat two or three pieces of snacks and not spit them out.
In that case, this jam came at the right time.
Su Xiaoxiao handed the jam to Deng An. “I made the sauce myself. Tell me what your young master wants to eat in the future.”
Deng An smiled and took it. “Then I’ll thank you on behalf of my young master first!”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “You’re welcome. I haven’t thanked your young master for his appreciation of Xiaohu. Don’t worry, I’ll send Xiaohu over to learn the zither.”
Deng An staggered and fell forward…
