Chapter 74: Can Be Saved 2
Chen Daniu sniffed and said, “Xiaolu saved Mom.”
Tears rolled down Chen Hu’s face. “That’s great, that’s great.”
Chen Daniu also smiled and said, “Yes, I’ll go get the water for Xiaolu and Third Auntie to wash their hands.”
Chen Hu nodded.
He couldn’t wait to enter the house to see Madam Qian, but because Madam Zhao was there, he could only wait outside.
Madam Zhao seemed to know what Chen Hu was thinking and had already come out of the room. She said gently, “Brother Hu, go and see Sister-in-law. I’ll see if the medicine is ready.”
After saying that, Madam Zhao walked toward the Chen family’s kitchen.
Chen Hu was extremely grateful. He quickly went into the room and closed the door.
He came to the bed and looked at Madam Qian with a pained expression. “Dear, you’ve worked hard.”
Madam Qian shook her head slightly.
Chen Daniu brought hot water and Su Xiaolu washed her hands carefully.
An hour passed quickly and Su Xiaolu took out the needles from Madam Qian.
Chen Hu quickly put on clothes for Madam Qian, changed the sheets under her, and covered her up with a blanket.
......
The sky outside slowly lit up.
Madam Zhao brought the medicine and knocked on the door. Su Xiaolu rubbed her eyes and went to open the door.
Chen Hu took the medicine and fed it to Madam Qian bit by bit.
Su Xiaolu yawned and said, “Uncle Hu, Auntie, come and get a few sets of medicine from my master during the day. You can help Auntie recuperate in the future. Auntie’s body is too weak. Try to stay in confinement for as long as possible. Don’t do any heavy work for the next six months.
Chen Hu nodded. “Okay, thank you, Simei. If not for you…”
Before Chen Hu could finish speaking, he was already sobbing. He pulled Chen Daniu and said in a choked voice, “Daniu, come and kowtow to Simei. Thank her for saving your mother’s life.”
Without a word, Chen Daniu immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu immediately helped Chen Daniu up and said, “Big Sister Daniu, don’t be like this. I’ll be a doctor in the future. It’s my duty to treat illnesses and save people.”
Chen Daniu did not care about this. She only knew that if Su Xiaolu had not saved her mother, she would have lost her mother.
No one else in this world would dote on her as her mother did.
Su Xiaolu had saved her mother, so it was only right for her to kowtow.
Chen Daniu stubbornly kowtowed three times before getting up.
Chen Hu prepared to send Su Xiaolu and her family off.
At the door, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao asked him to hurry back. Chen Hu turned around and went back into the house with red eyes.
Su Sanlang bent down and let Su Xiaolu climb onto his back.
Su Xiaolu was tired and sleepy. She climbed up and hugged Su Sanlang’s shoulder before dozing off.
Madam Zhao carried the medical kit on her back and gently patted Su Xiaolu’s back. “Simei, be good. Let’s go home before sleeping. It’s cold now. You can’t sleep like this, understand?”
If she slept in this weather, she might catch a cold.
Su Xiaolu answered softly. She opened her eyes and looked at Su Sanlang’s hair. “Dad has white hair now.”
Su Sanlang’s steps were steady. Hearing Su Xiaolu’s words, he smiled gently and said, “Where is it? Pull it out for me to see.”
Su Xiaolu suppressed her sleepiness and began to pull out Su Sanlang’s white hair. However, because Su Sanlang kept moving around and she was sleepy, she could not grasp it accurately.
It wasn’t until they reached home that Su Xiaolu finally plucked out a strand of white hair. She rubbed her eyes and showed it to Su Sanlang. “Father, look. There are still many strands left.”
Su Sanlang did not care about the white hair. He carried Su Xiaolu from his back into his arms and said gently, “We’re home. Go to sleep if you want.”
Su Sanlang walked Su Xiaolu back to her room and put her to bed.
Just then, Su Xiaoling brought over a bowl of ginger soup and said, “Father, let Xiaolu drink some ginger soup before sleeping.”
Su Sanlang nodded and fed Su Xiaolu ginger soup.
Su Xiaolu drank the ginger soup in a daze and fell asleep under the care of her family.
Su Sanlang tucked Su Xiaolu in and got up.
He gently stroked Su Xiaoling’s hair and said, “Third Sister, it’s been hard on you. Drink up and go to sleep. Your Uncle Hu is fine now. Don’t worry. Daniu and Erniu have a brother now. Your Uncle Hu can finally live a good life.”
Because Chen Hu did not have a son, his parents looked down on him. Now that Madam Qian had given birth to a son for Chen Hu, his life would definitely be better.
Su Xiaoling was also relieved. She nodded obediently and said to Su Sanlang, “Father, there’s still ginger soup in the pot. I just brought a bowl for Mother. You should hurry up and drink it too.”
Su Sanlang nodded and went to drink a bowl of ginger soup with Su Xiaoling before returning to his room to rest.
Su Xiaoling returned to her room and slept next to Su Xiaolu. She kissed Su Xiaolu’s cheek and whispered, “Xiaolu, you’re awesome. I’m proud of you. Sleep well.”
After a night of worry, Su Xiaoling fell asleep in peace, knowing that Madam Qian was safe.
It was great that Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu could still be doted on by their mother.
When Su Xiaolu woke up again, it was already noon. She yawned and stretched before getting out of bed.
Once outside, she smiled to see her family in the yard.
Su Xiaoling had already run to the kitchen to scoop rice for Su Xiaolu.
The warm rice, the chicken, and the soup were really fragrant.
Su Xiaolu asked as she ate, “Have the girls come to get the medicine?”
Su Xiaoling smiled and shook her head. “Not yet, but Uncle-Master has already packed the medicine and placed it here. Uncle-Master even praised you for doing well.”
Su Xiaolu smiled. “My master is right.”
“Where’s my master?”
Su Xiaolu asked seriously.
Su Xiaoling smiled gently and said, “Uncle-Master went to pick herbs after breakfast. Dad went into town. Mom is outside in the vegetable field. Little Brother Heng is teaching us to write.”
Last night, she had said many things to Zhou Heng. When she came back to her senses and regretted it, it was already too late. She should not have been so insensible. But today, Zhou Heng acted normal, as if nothing had happened.
Su Xiaoling heaved a sigh of relief. She could not help but think that perhaps Zhou Heng had already fallen asleep when he was listening to her. Therefore, he did not hear everything she said. Thinking about it this way, Su Xiaoling felt much better.
As she learned how to read from Zhou Heng, she forgot about what happened last night.
“Xiaolu, come and see what I’ve written.”
Su Chong finished writing and waved at Su Xiaolu with a smile.
Su Xiaolu walked over with the bowl. Su Chong and Su Hua could write their own names now. After repeated practice, the words they wrote could be read.
Su Xiaolu praised with a smile, “Brother, you wrote it so well. You’re awesome.”
Su Xiaolu went to look at what Su Hua had written. She read, “Su-Xiao-Lu, Second Brother wrote my name! Second Brother is awesome.”
Su Hua smiled and stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair. “I know how to write Sanmei’s name too. I’ll write it for you.”
Su Hua wrote Su Xiaoling’s name. Su Chong looked at it seriously and said gloomily, “Hua, why do you know this before me?”
