Chapter 13 Time flies

Since it was ownerless, Qiuju stayed.

Sunan volunteered to take on the job of feeding the sheep.

Sunan whispered to the room through the door curtain: "Sister Yue'er, can I go in to see Sui Sui?"

"You can come in."

Jiang Shuyue liked Sunan very much. The little guy was polite and knew when to advance and retreat.

Seeing Sunan gently lift the door curtain, Jiang Shuyue smiled and said: "It's summer, there is no cool breeze."

"Mother said that sister Yue'er is weak and can't see the wind."

Sunan walked to the bedside, staring at the sleeping child, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

He said thoughtfully: "Sister Yue'er, Nannan wants to be Sui Sui's uncle, and take him to the river to fish and to the mountain to pick mushrooms in the future, is it okay?"

"Nannan, you can call me sister in the future! Ajin is Sui Sui's eldest uncle, and Nannan is Sui Sui's second uncle."

"Sister!"

Sunan smiled brightly.

"Sui Sui, grow up quickly, your second uncle will teach you to read and write."

In the courtyard, Aunt Su told Qiu Ju not to prepare dinner.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Hui came over with a wooden tray.

On the tray were a bowl of fish soup, a bowl of white rice, and an egg fried with loofah.

"Sister, Dad asked me to ask you, is the child's household registration in the village? If it is in the village, he will go to the head of the village." Su Hui put down the tray and asked softly.

Su Nan quickly picked up the pillow to help Jiang Shuyue cushion her head.

Su Hui helped Jiang Shuyue lean on the pillow.

Jiang Shuyue raised her slender fingers to lift a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled lightly: "Sui Sui is still young, and she is not registered for the time being."

In Jiang Shuyue's cognition, this place is too backward and too far from the county town, and it is not a place to live for a long time.

This place is only suitable for her to live temporarily.

"Brother, go back to eat first. I'll talk to my sister for a while."

Su Nan reluctantly looked up and smiled at Jiang Shuyue: "Sister, have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Watching Su Nan leave.

Su Hui brought out the fish soup on the tray: "Sister, drink quickly. Big brother caught a lot of fish in the creek today. It's enough for you to eat for several days."

Jiang Shuyue took the fish soup. The thick fish soup was as white as milk and full of fragrance.

Taking a sip, it tasted very fresh.

"Sister, you don't want to settle down here. Are you planning to leave here?"

Jiang Shuyue looked up and saw Su Hui looking at her softly, with reluctance in her eyes.

During this period, Su Hui and Jiang Shuyue got along like sisters.

Jiang Shuyue didn't know how to make children's clothes. She asked Qiu Ju to buy fine cotton cloth from the town. All the clothes and diapers were made by Su Hui and Aunt Su.

Life here is very dull. Jiang Shuyue also bought paper and pen, and the two wrote and painted together.

Su Hui was thoughtful and smart, and Jiang Shuyue did not hide it from her.

"Sister Hui'er, a tree that moves can help a person move. This place is beautiful and has clear waters. It's a good place, but I have important things to do. I will leave when Sui Sui is older."

She paused and said, "This is my mother's home. I will come back."

Su Hui nodded, not quite understanding.

...

Time flies, winter goes and spring comes, and in a blink of an eye it is the summer of the second year.

"Sui Sui, come, walk to your second uncle."

The whole family was busy preparing for Sui Sui's birthday, and Su Nan was teaching Sui Sui to walk in the yard.

Sui Sui's little hand left the bench, grinning and walking towards Su Nan.

One step, two steps...

Staggering, the little guy is smart and clever, and when his feet are shaking violently, he stops.

"Sui Sui, good boy, Sui Sui is the best."

Encouraged by Su Nan, Sui Sui took a few quick steps forward and threw himself into Su Nan's arms.

This year, Su Nan has grown a lot taller, perhaps because of drinking goat milk with Sui Sui.

Since Jiang Shuyue finished her confinement, Aunt Su asked Jiang Shuyue and Qiu Ju not to cook separately, and the two families were like one family.

The villagers always thought that Jiang Shuyue was Aunt Su's relative, and no one said anything.

Today is Sui Sui's birthday. Su Jin killed a chicken and stewed the chicken with the chicken mushrooms picked yesterday.

Aunt Su and Qiu Ju chopped pork stuffing to make dumplings.

The pork was taken out of the space by Jiang Shuyue.

When she went to town, she always bought more meat and put it in the space.

Every time Qiu Ju saw the young lady coming up from the well with a bamboo basket, she peeled off the banana leaves on it and took out the pork. Qiu Ju said that the well in the old house was as good as the ice cellar in the capital.

In the main room, Jiang Shuyue poured the crushed medicine into a coarse bowl.

She called out to Su Nan who was teasing Sui Sui outside the house: "Nan Nan, go to the kitchen and get a bowl of chicken, and send the medicine I made to Uncle Lin, and ask him to apply it once in the morning and evening."

Jiang Shuyue checked Lin Miaoshou's eyes and diagnosed that she had mild poisoning and retinal damage. It was still possible to cure it by taking medicine and applying it externally.

Su Nan carried Sui Sui into the house and put her in Jiang Shuyue's arms: "Sister, Sui Sui walked two more steps today. I think he will be able to walk very steadily in a month or so."

Speaking of Sui Sui, Su Nan smiled so hard that her mouth was grinning to her ears.

Watching Su Nan walk to Lin Miaoshou's house, Jiang Shuyue held Sui Sui and looked at the intersection of the bamboo forest.

Today, Su Huairen went to the town early in the morning. He said that the academy in the town needed an enlightenment teacher. He was a Jinshi, and he was more than qualified to be an enlightenment teacher. It depends on whether the academy will despise him as a demoted official like other academies.

Towards noon, Su Huairen came back with a stack of yellow paper.

Aunt Su wiped her hands on her apron and walked forward to ask, "How is it, are they willing to hire you?"

Su Huairen put down the yellow paper in his hand nonchalantly and took out a rattle from his arms.

"It's their loss if the academy doesn't use me. I came back with a job of copying books. You see, I even bought a rattle for Suisui."

"Sui Sui, you think so!" Su Huairen shook the rattle in his hand, making Sui Sui giggle.

Aunt Su looked at her husband's calm appearance, and only she knew that Su Huairen was feeling sad.

After being demoted back to his hometown, it was difficult for the husband to find a job as a teacher. He encountered obstacles everywhere and was occasionally ridiculed.

"Uncle is right. If the academy leaves Jinshi unused, it is the academy's loss." Jiang Shuyue said seriously.

"Dad! Don't look for work in the future. My sister and my eldest brother, I will go to the mountains to collect herbs, so that our family can eat white-flour steamed buns every day."

Just at this moment, Sunan came back from Lin Miaoshou's house.

After lunch, Qiu Ju helped clear the dishes, Aunt Su took Suisui to take a nap, and Jiang Shuyue returned to the courtyard alone.

She turned back and looked at the Su family's house through the bamboo forest.

Su Jin tidies the green tiles every year so that they won't leak when it rains.

The adobe walls made of fence walls are somewhat mottled.

Jiang Shuyue sighed secretly. She already had a lot of money saved in her space, which was more than enough to build a few brick houses.

But she couldn't be so abrupt.

She could only transplant the medicinal materials grown in the space to the mountain from time to time, deliberately letting Sunan and Su Jin discover them, dig them back and sell them in the town to make money to support her family.

The Su family finally had no worries about food and clothing.

Jiang Shuyue returned to the house and ducked into the space.

The scene in front of her made her freeze in place.

What is this scene? !

Is it because of age? !
