The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 17

Ning took up the bowl to distribute the porridge to the three children, Su Yunduo and Su Zexuan hurriedly picked up their bowls and moved away from Ning.

Although Su Zechen, the youngest, was envious of the white porridge in Ning's bowl, he remembered what his sister said just now when he washed his hands and face. She protected her little bowl with her little hand and shook her head like a rattle: "Mother eats, you can't starve the porridge in mother's stomach." Little brother!"

The more sensible the children are, the more sad Ning feels in her heart, and the more she can't swallow the half bowl of porridge. In the end, Su Yunduo had no choice but to give a compromise, dividing the half bowl of porridge into a third. For the youngest Su Zechen, Ning picked up the bowl with tears in his eyes and started to eat.

When Ning saw the walnuts in the porridge, she asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"Mother, this is walnut kernel. It is said in medical books that it can nourish the kidneys and blood, nourish the lungs and relieve asthma, and relieve constipation. Long-term consumption can also improve the appearance of black hair, moisturize the skin and prevent aging." Facing Ning's doubts, Su Yun Duo didn't change his face and his heart didn't beat.

When Ning heard the words "moisturizing the lungs and calming the breath", her eyes lit up, and then she gave Su Yunduo an angry look: "Since it is for nourishing the lungs and calming the breath, why didn't you keep it for your father?"

"Mother, there are still some in my father's bowl. You only have a few here, and mother's body is equally important." Seeing that Ning said that he was about to pick out all the walnuts in the bowl, Su Yunduo hurriedly dissuaded him.

Su Yunduo's thoughtful words made Ning's eyes blush. After a while, she took a sip, but she had many questions in her heart: "Walnut kernels? Where did they come from? I haven't seen you buy this walnut before!"

"Mother, what I picked up in the mountains today was told to me by an old man who collects herbs." Su Yunduo had already thought about how to deal with it, and he naturally handled it with ease.

Something flickered in Su Zexuan's eyes, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, he knew that what his sister said must be for everyone's benefit.

After eating here, there was movement from Su Chengzhi's side. Su Yunduo quickly brought porridge into Su Chengzhi's room, and with the help of Su Zexuan who rushed over, he helped Su Chengzhi up and let him sit on the pit head.

Su Chengzhi looked at the porridge that was being fed to his mouth, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although he has been sleeping in bed these days and has not been able to get up, but the situation at home is still clear, where did the white rice come from?

"Have you forgotten, Dad? I told you that this is the white rice sent to us by the village elder's family. The white rice is for raising people, and Daddy will recover from his illness sooner after eating it. When Daddy recovers, more designated Brother Yushu, let Brother Yushu be able to pass the examination of a scholar in one pass, that is a great merit." Su Yunduo naturally knew why Su Chengzhi shook his head, and he sent the spoon to Su Chengzhi's mouth, with a slight smile on his face.

"Your mother and younger brother..." Su Chengzhi turned his head to the side and coughed lightly, then asked Su Yunduo.

"Dad, don't worry, mother and younger brother, um, and I are all under Daddy's glory, and today we all have delicious white rice porridge." Although there is very little white rice porridge in her and Su Zexuan's porridge, they are still covered by it anyway. So, Su Yunduo showed a very enjoying expression by the way, and Su Zexuan, who was standing by the side, also nodded in cooperation.

Su Chengzhi looked at Su Yunduo and then at Su Zexuan, but he really didn't see anything strange on the faces of Su Yunduo and Su Zexuan, and Su Yunduo's spoon was already attached to his lips, so he had to open his mouth and follow Su Yunduo's I ate the bowl of white rice porridge one bite at a time.

Seeing that Su Chengzhi ate all of a bowl of white rice porridge, Su Yunduo's eyes were filled with joy. Being able to eat and willing to eat showed that Su Chengzhi had the desire to survive.

As long as Su Chengzhi has the desire to survive and supplemented with suitable medicine, his body will definitely get better.

Su Chengzhi is the pillar of the family and the hope of the family's prosperity. Su Yunduo understands very well that no matter how capable she is, if she loses Su Chengzhi, the family's sky will collapse.

Taking advantage of the fact that Su Chengzhi was still in good spirits, Su Yunduo brought Su Zexuan over the boiled wormwood soup. Originally, he wanted to soak Su Chengzhi's feet, but considering that Su Chengzhi's body was too weak, Su Yunduo finally gave up. The idea of ​​soaking his feet was just to wash Su Chengzhi's face quickly, and then wash his hands and feet. Then he brought the boiled soup and medicine, watched Su Chengzhi drink up the medicine in the bowl, and handed him clean water to rinse mouth, and then supported Su Chengzhi to lie down again.

In order to ensure the quality of Su Chengzhi's sleep, the prescription prescribed for Su Chengzhi specially added some soothing and sleep-promoting herbs, so Su Chengzhi soon fell asleep after drinking the medicine.

There are no adults in the family except parents, so these days, Su Yunduo and Su Zexuan are almost the two siblings who take care of Su Chengzhi.

Seeing that Su Chengzhi was really asleep at this moment, Su Yunduo pulled Su Zexuan back out of the room lightly, and told Su Zexuan to take a bath first, while he brought hot water to wash Su Zechen's hands and face and burned his feet. Just let him go to bed and sleep.

Looking at the flimsy quilt on the young brother, and thinking about the flimsiness of the whole family, Su Yunduo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Wei family and the Yuan family felt sorry for them and sent some quilts that they didn't use at home, their family really only had the quilt that Su Chengzhi covered.

In fact, if the quilt hadn't been covered on Su Chengzhi's body and sent back from the town, I'm afraid that Xiao Yang would be able to persuade his cruel grandma not to even give the quilt to their home.

Gently patted Su Zechen on the back, coaxing him to fall asleep, Su Yunduo looked at Ning Shi who was still lighting up the lamp and doing embroidery work but said with a sad face: "Mother, I found some good medicinal materials in the mountains today. I want to pick it up early tomorrow morning and send it to the medicine shop in the county, and I also want to take the kang screen that my mother embroidered to the embroidery shop in the county to ask about the price. My mother's embroidery is so exquisite, the price charged in the town is really too low, it's a pity gone."

Ning was shocked when she heard this, and grabbed Su Yunduo's hand anxiously, even her voice changed: "Tomorrow morning I will pick it and go to the county seat? No, no, the county is so far away, how early do you want to leave? What if something happens? What do you want your parents to do?"

"Mother, don't worry, I don't go into the deep mountains, those medicinal materials are in the bushes on the half slope. After selling those medicinal materials, I can just buy some better medicines for my father. If you are lucky and sell them at a high price, maybe you can still buy them." Bring some food for the family." Su Yunduo patted Ning's hand and tried to slow down his tone.

Ning looked at Su Yunduo suspiciously, even if there were medicinal materials halfway up the mountain, it wouldn't be a good medicinal material, and even if there were any good medicinal materials halfway up the mountain, could they still wait for Su Yunduo to pick them?
It was only then that Ning discovered that since Su Chengzhi was sent back that day, and Su Yunduo and her in-laws were pushed down and injured by Su Yunying and woke up, this daughter seemed different from before.
