After selling myself, I became the head of the family

Chapter 75 Eat dumplings without freezing your ears
  Su Yueyue woke up early the next morning.

I felt annoyed when I realized that I was wearing a very thick blanket.

Why did I fall asleep like this?

Looking at the copybook on the table, she breathed a sigh of relief again.

Don't be afraid, I have finished writing the remaining three and a half pages of small words. Although the words are crooked and look ugly, I have finally completed the task.

When she got dressed and was about to go to the kitchen, she saw a pale Aunt Cai burning a fire inside.

"Mommy, your face looks so bad. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Su Yueyue looked at her worriedly.

Today is the winter solstice, and the weather will get even colder in the future. She is afraid that grandma will not be able to bear it.

"No, I just slept a little late last night and had some dreams."

Aunt Cai shook her head, and then said, "Young Master slept deeply last night, so let's make the soup for this morning later.

I'll go to the market to get the meat later, and you stay at home. There are two pears in the cabinet. You steam them slowly, and when they're done, you eat one yourself. "

As she spoke, Grandma Cai stood up tremblingly on her knees.

"Mommy, I think you don't look very good. I'm afraid there will be a lot of people in the market during the winter solstice today, so I'd better go."

Su Yueyue was afraid that Grandma Cai was really sick. If she was accidentally crowded by people in the market, she was worried that something would happen to her.

I am thin because of my young age, which makes it easier for me to get in and out of the crowd.

"It's okay, I just happened to go to the medical clinic to take a look at the doctor."

Aunt Cai repeatedly waved her hand and refused.

She had been refusing to take medicine because she was afraid that Young Master and Yueyue would worry.

But looking at my current state, I'm afraid that if I don't take some medicine, it's hard to say whether I can survive this winter.

"Okay. Then, mama, be careful."

Su Yueyue wanted to go to the hospital with her, but at least one person at home had to be left to take care of the young master.

The young master's legs are inconvenient, so dressing and other things are fine, but more detailed tasks still require someone to take care of him.

"I know."

Aunt Cai smiled lovingly and then left the kitchen.

Watching her leave with the basket, Su Yueyue's worry never diminished.

She always felt that her grandma had a bad look on her face.

It would be a good idea for grandma to go to the medical clinic and have a look.

Withdrawing her gaze, Su Yueyue began to do her own thing.

After adding two sticks of firewood to the stove, she carefully handled the snowflake pear.

A few days ago, the young master started to cough for no apparent reason, so Grandma Cai spent a lot of money to buy six white and moist snowflake pears.

It is said that this pear costs 50 yuan, and it was transported down by the waterway from the north by the fruit merchants.

Gently rub the outside of the snowflake pear with salt, then clean it with well water, and then take a knife and cut the pear into two halves, smaller at the top and larger at the bottom.

Then carefully dig out the core of the pear and the surrounding pulp to form a pear cup, which is half the battle.

I picked fifteen more Sichuan peppercorns and put them into the pear belly, mixed it with well water and added two pieces of rock sugar, and then put the lid on the pear.

Putting the pears in a bowl and putting them in the steamer, she wiped the water stains on her hands and started kneading the dough.

Even if Aunt Cai asked her to eat a pear that cost fifty cents, she would not be willing to eat it.

But today is the winter solstice. She heard from her mother-in-law that people in the north eat dumplings during the winter solstice.

He said that eating dumplings would prevent his ears from freezing.

As for why her ears froze off, she didn't know.

But both Aunt Cai and the young master are from Kyoto, so they should have the same habit. She can roll out the dumpling wrappers, and the dumpling filling can be mixed with the piece of pork hanging on the side and the green scallions from the vegetable patch.

It was rare to sleep comfortably. When Lu Xingzhou woke up again, Su Yueyue had already wrapped all the dumplings.

Hearing the noise coming from his room, the little girl just washed her hands and hurried out of the kitchen.

"Master, are you awake?"

The little girl had her hair in two buns as usual, and now a circle of soft hair stuck to her face. There was some flour on the tip of her nose and cheeks, which looked particularly funny on her slightly yellow skin.

Only those eyes were shining and very beautiful.

"Sir, let me help you get dressed."

The little girl's sleeves haven't been put down yet, her two tiny arms are exposed, and the scar is also exposed.

"Ah."

Lu Xingzhou felt a little uncomfortable and just responded in a low voice.

"Sir, I've already written the fine print. I'll check it out for you after you have breakfast later. Grandma went to get the meat. She feels a little uncomfortable and has to go to the hospital to see a doctor.

I made steamed pears and I will serve them to you later.

I also made some dumplings. My mother-in-law said that she used to eat dumplings during the winter solstice at home. I thought that you and grandma are both from there, so you should also want to eat them. After you eat the steamed pears, the dumplings should be ready. "

The little girl was dressing him up and chatting.

Lu Xingzhou was a little touched in his heart, but he didn't feel that she was noisy.

In fact, it's not bad, it's better than having no one talk to you.

"it is good."

Su Yueyue was a little shy when she put on his pants.

On weekdays, Lu Xingzhou had trouble with his legs, so he would always deal with it in the house, and then Aunt Cai would take him to the latrine to wash it off.

In addition, his legs needed medicine at night, so he would not wear fur pants when sleeping. However, in order to avoid embarrassment, Lu Xingzhou only let her put the pants on his legs and let her go out first.

Looking at his withered and red legs, Lu Xingzhou's face almost burned.

After struggling for a long time to put on the pants, Su Yueyue tentatively asked after hearing rustling noises in the room.

"Sir, are you dressed?"

"You come in."

Lu Xingzhou tried hard to calm down and then shouted.

Although Su Yueyue felt a little inexplicable, it became clear when she thought that the young master might not be able to accept the disease in his legs.

The young master used to be a handsome young man, but now he has to ask a little girl like himself to help him dress. It's right that he is not used to it.

After dressing him neatly, Su Yueyue gave him hot water to wash up. After everything was taken care of, he brought in the hot steamed pears.

"Young master is still coughing a little. After you eat this steamed pear, I will bring you the dumplings."

"You go down and do your work. I'll call you after I eat."

"Okay, sir, how many dumplings do you want to eat? I can cook them."

"Fifteen, maybe."

Looking at the steamed pears in front of him, Lu Xingzhou had to sigh in his heart.

Not only is there such a steamed pear, but after eating the dumplings, I also have a bowl of medicine to drink.

I really feel like I’ve lost my appetite just thinking about it.

"Okay, then, young master, please wait in the room for a while."

Su Yueyue responded and returned to the kitchen.

She had taken the medicine a quarter of an hour ago, and when the young master finished eating the dumplings, the time should be just right.
