The cold wind was blowing, but the mother's arms were warm. The baby girl smiled happily, but the woman felt a little cold, so she added some thatch to her body.

She had no strength in her body, felt a little dizzy, and wanted to vomit, but because she hadn't eaten, she didn't vomit anything.

The darkness of the future still enveloped her, with no way out but despair.

How to feed this child?

Floating Cloud City in the north is located on the edge of the country, and is always invaded by barbarians. Women are useless here, they must rely on men or their bodies, and there must be one of the two.

However, a woman doesn't want to do this. She can be forced to come to the northern border, be forced to give birth to a man, and be forced to bear the responsibility of bearing children, but she must not abuse herself.

If she can't even look down on herself, how can she make others look up to her and the child she gave birth to.

She is the daughter of the Su family. The Su family and the Guan family have always been on good terms. She is a young lady of the Su family. She has been deeply influenced by the culture of the Guan family since she was a child.Now she doesn't expect to return to her family, she just wants to not dishonor her family's reputation.

She has to rely on her own hands to raise her daughter.

"vomit--"

The nauseating feeling came again, but she couldn't vomit anything. She was dizzy and could only lie on the bed weakly.

crunch--

Someone opened the door and came in.

She sat up in a panic and looked at the uninvited guest who entered the door. It was an old man with a hunched body and a stiff face with no expression.

"you are……"

The old man didn't speak, just walked over and looked at it carefully.

The other party approached, and the woman recognized the old man. This is the old man Qian from the pharmacy. It is said that he recognizes money but does not recognize people, and he is old-fashioned, indifferent, and rarely talks to people.

"It's just a lack of energy and blood, don't worry, these medicines are wrapped for you, boil three times a day, and drink on time."

The old man opened his mouth, put the medicine on the table, turned around and left without mentioning money.

When he walked to the door, he turned his head, and the baby girl who was in the mother's arms suddenly moved and smiled at him.

The woman's heart moved: "Goodbye to grandpa."

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

The baby girl made a sound of unknown meaning and waved her little hand.

The old man stood there paused, and after a while, he closed the door and left.

The woman hugged her daughter tightly, and she was smart enough to notice the resemblance between her daughter and the old man's eyebrows.

But she didn't say anything, and wouldn't say anything.

All she knew was that she was her child, she was her mother, and that was enough.

-----------------------

Su Murong brought Su Rouxue into the tavern.

As soon as she entered the door, she yelled: "Old man, old man, are you there? Quick, get something to eat!"

"What are you shouting for, little ancestor, what do you want to do!?" Gui Lao came out from the back kitchen. He was very imposing. When he saw Su Rouxue, he was stunned, "Hey? Your mother is okay?"

"Yes, all right, hurry up, bring up the delicious food."

"Are you rich?"

"On credit first."

"Credit again!? Can't you say it will be deducted from your wages?"

"No, those have to be treated for my mother, first on credit, and I will double it to you when I have money. Hurry up, serve the roast chicken or something, my mother likes it."

"What a buckle."

Gui Lao cursed and cursed, but he still went into the back kitchen to prepare to go.Su Murong pulled Su Rouxue to sit down, patted his chest and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'm working with Pingsheng now, we've made a lot of money, and when the time comes, we'll buy delicious food for Mother."

"Okay~ Xiao Rong is the best." Su Rouxue smiled and patted her head, "But, Xiao Rong, you can't be so rude to Uncle Ghost. Back then, he taught me to weave straw sandals."

"Hey!?" Su Murong's eyes widened, "There is such a thing!?"

"Well... that was a long time ago."

As Su Rouxue said, she looked out of the window and remembered some past events.

Again, it's just trivial things.

-------------------

"Sorry, I'm not recruiting here anymore."

The shopkeeper thought about it and refused without hesitation.

Although she had expected it, she didn't expect to be rejected directly. The woman sighed and planned to look elsewhere, but when she just turned around, the shopkeeper suddenly said:

"However, you are so pitiful, I have an idea."

The woman rekindled hope, turned around, and asked, "You said."

"It's cold here in Floating Cloud City. The most important thing here is not only food but also clothes. The clothes are mainly shoes. I can teach you the skills of weaving straw sandals and prepare the hemp rope you need to make straw ropes. If you make money, you don’t need to share with me, as long as you return the money from the hemp rope.”

The woman was very happy, and was about to thank her, but the shopkeeper continued:

"But, you have to get it yourself. I can only tell you the approximate location. It's very hard. Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I can do it."

She can.

The next day, the woman left the city and entered the valley with a basket bigger than herself.

The shopkeeper had already told the woman where the grain and grass were, and she gritted her teeth, stepped on the gravel, and rushed there step by step.

Her shoes were scratched, her back was bleeding, and the thorns she pulled cut her palms, bloody.

In the end, she went back with only a thin layer in the frame.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "You don't have enough to make a pair."

The shopkeeper's disappointment was beyond words, and the woman kowtowed, begging the shopkeeper for another chance.

The baby girl poked her head out of the frame, blinking her big eyes.

The store owner was stunned. It turned out that the woman was worried about the child, and today she went up the mountain with the baby girl on her back.

"Put the child here in the future, and I will take care of it for you, at least until you are familiar with these procedures."

The woman shook her head and refused, and said: "I don't trouble you, I'm just not familiar with it today, next time I go to the mountain earlier, it will be fine."

"but……"

"You believe me, give me another chance!"

The shopkeeper stopped talking.

From that day on, the woman took the baby girl, and from morning to night, she saved enough grain and grass to weave straw sandals.

In just one month, that delicate hand was covered with calluses, and she could no longer look like she was playing the piano.

-------------------------------

When the food came, Su Rouxue ate it with small bites.

Su Murong asked excitedly, "Is it delicious?"

Su Rouxue smiled and nodded: "It's delicious!"

The mother and daughter were eating quietly. During this time, Su Murong asked, "Mother, tell me, why do I have to be called this name?"

"Does Xiaorong not like this name?"

"I like it, I just want to ask, what is the meaning of this name."

"The meaning..."

Su Rouxue thought for a while, then put down her chopsticks.

The cold wind outside was blowing quietly, she was quiet, and then slowly opened her mouth:

"Xiao Rong, you have to remember."

"Ok?"

"Your glory is the glory of glory."

It's quiet outside.

The snow is falling slowly, bringing a little bit of the past.

That small, past events.

-------------------------

For the straw sandals woven by women, first rub the brown rope or hemp rope, weave the shoe ears (that is, twist the short brown rope into double strands), take a handful of good grain grass, beat it soft, turn the bench upside down, and turn your feet upside down. Put on the straw sandal stick, and you can sit on it and weave the straw sandals.

She will spend some time collecting grain and grass, and then spend some time weaving straw sandals, and then sell them when the weaving is almost done.

She was located near the gate of the South City, and she also carried a basket, but the inside was replaced by a baby girl instead of straw.

Her first guest was the old man.The woman wanted to give him a pair, but he refused on the grounds that "it is only right and proper to charge money when doing business."

The old man bought a pair of straw sandals with the money, but his eyes were fixed on the sleeping baby girl in the basket, and he asked, "What's your name?"

"Ah...You said her, you haven't thought about it yet."

He was silent and asked, "Where's her father?"

The woman's eyes dimmed, and she pursed her lips: "Run away."

He groaned, and said, "Then let her take your surname."

The woman looked up in a daze.

But the old man had already turned around and left. He only took a few steps, then stopped and walked back.

"I want these shoes."

In this way, the woman called it a day.

She returned home with the baby on her back, looked at the sleeping baby girl, and thought about what the old man said.
