Chapter 17 Being a Mother

"Are you hungry?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

This morning the three little ones were so excited when they learned they were going out. They didn't eat well at home and just wanted to go out and play.

The three of them nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao remembered that there was a stall selling dumplings and glutinous rice balls nearby. The couple had been doing this business for several years. The food was always good and it was in the same direction as the medical clinic.

Su Xiaoxiao and her three little ones found the stall.

It was past breakfast time, and there were no more customers. The boss was not here, and the wife was standing behind the stall making dumplings, while a seven-year-old girl was helping to pick vegetables.

She saw the guest first and tugged on the landlady's clothes: "Mom, a guest is here."

The landlady recognized Su Xiaoxiao. After all, there were not many customers who were so fat. One visit would make them remembered for a long time.

"Girl, are there still two bowls of rice wine glutinous rice balls and a bowl of spicy soup dumplings today?"

she said pleasantly.

She used to eat a lot of food. She could eat three bowls at a time, and both bowls were sweet. If not, who was fat?

In order to lose weight, Su Xiaoxiao decided to resist the urge to be greedy and asked San Xiaozhi: "Do you want to eat dumplings or glutinous rice balls?"

The three of them didn't speak.

The landlady lowered her head and saw that there were three little dumplings following the fat girl.

The little dumplings are cute and cute, with rosy cheeks, like three lucky dolls that have stepped out of New Year paintings.

The landlady had never seen such beautiful children before and couldn't help but ask: "Girl, are they..."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the little girl clinging to the landlady's side, then at the three little ones with envious eyes, and said seriously: "My son."

The three little ones were stunned.

The landlady was also stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao was too young, and she didn't look like the mother of three children. However, in this war-torn world, it was common for girls to get married early.

The landlady smiled and said: "Three sons, you are so lucky."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled.

Su Xiaoxiao asked the three of them again: "Dumplings or glutinous rice balls, which one should you eat?"

The three little ones: "Mother."

I knew it would be like this.

Su Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and responded vaguely: "Well, what do you want to eat?"

The three little eyes are bright.

Su Xiaoxiao turned her face away and murmured in a low voice: "Don't look at me like that, it's my first time to be a mother... I may not do well..."

"eat."

A little bean curd pointed at the dumpling and said.

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised to say the second word so quickly?

There is no whorl on the forehead, it is a big tiger.

The other two have hair twists on their foreheads. The one with a white hairband is Erhu, and the one with a blue hairband is Xiaohu.

Erhu and Xiaohu asked for glutinous rice balls.

The four of them sat down around the small table, and steaming dumplings and glutinous rice balls were served.

"Mom, eat." the three said.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "You guys eat, I'm not hungry, be careful it's hot."

The three of them sat in front of the bowl, taking small sips.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at the three of them and said, "Can you... know your names?"

She wanted to know their real names.

The three people tilted their heads and thought for a while, then nodded in unison.

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "Then what are your names?"

The three of them pressed their small hands on their small breasts.

"Big Tiger."

"Two Tigers."

"Small Ax (Tiger)."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

--

After the three little ones had eaten and drank enough, Su Xiaoxiao took them to the hospital in the town.

The fight yesterday was through the back door, avoiding the staff at the medical clinic, so no one knew her.

To stabilize Su's injury, acupuncture and medicinal materials are indispensable.

"I want a pair of silver needles, and besides." She paused and ordered ten kilograms of medicinal herbs in one breath.

The shopkeeper did the math for her and found a total of five taels.

After her first purchase, she only had two taels of silver left.

"Can it be cheaper?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The shopkeeper smiled lightly: "How much do you want to give me?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I only have two taels of silver in my hand. If you are willing... I can trade my medicine with you to make up the price difference."

The shopkeeper laughed angrily.

What a loud tone for a village girl!

She gave her medicine in exchange.

What kind of medicine? Are the country folk prescriptions rotten herbal medicine?

What does she think of Rongen Hall?

"Rong'en Hall is the largest medical clinic in town. What kind of good medicine is there? Why would you care about a village girl's things? What can you get from her!"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "My medicine is very good."

The shopkeeper mocked: "I think you're just here to cheat me out. I've seen too many people like you! Leave quickly! Otherwise, I'll report you to the official!"

In the wing room on the second floor, a young man in brocade clothes was sitting on a chair, and a doctor from the medical center was examining his left arm.

"The dislocated area is well connected and there will be no sequelae."

The young man in brocade raised his hand, and the doctor wisely withdrew.

The guard standing by the window suddenly said: "Master, look! It's the girl just now!"

The young man turned his head and looked: "It's her."

It’s just that there are three more children around me.

The guard gestured and asked strangely: "Master, did she really just... take your arm back in just that moment?"

When the young master hit the horse, he was in the crowd on the opposite side and could not see clearly.

The boy in brocade clothes hummed.

The guard said: "Looking at her clothes, she is clearly a village girl. How could she do this? Could it be that she also knows medical skills? Young Master! Let's invite her to treat Young Master Biao!"

The young man was silent.

To fix a dislocated arm or save a choking child, she should know medical skills.

But...heal your cousin.

"My cousin has a special status. It is best not for people of unknown origin to approach me rashly. It is better to wait for Dr. Dong from the medical clinic."

Dr. Dong has been practicing medicine for many years and has excellent medical skills. He is the best candidate to treat my cousin.

--

But it was said that after Su Xiaoxiao came out of the medical clinic, she planned to go somewhere else. After taking a few steps, she was blocked by a man in his fifties.

At first glance, the other party's clothes are no different from those of ordinary people, except that there is a medicine gourd hanging around his waist.

He is a doctor.

With a smile on his face, the doctor bowed his hand to Su Xiaoxiao and explained his intention.

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "So you were also in Jinji at that time... Now you want to ask me, how did you save the child?"

The doctor smiled coquettishly and said, "I hope you will give me some advice."

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "Hey, you're too polite. Why should I teach you something but not teach it? If you want to know, I'll just tell you."

"Seriously?" The doctor couldn't believe that the other party agreed so easily. This was different from what he expected!

"Are you a doctor?" Su Xiaoxiao took out a small porcelain bottle from the basket and smiled slightly, "Just in time, I have a bottle of golden sore medicine here. If you want it, I can sell it to you cheaply."

The doctor looked at the small porcelain bottle she took out and asked angrily: "If I don't buy your medicine, will you teach me how to rescue me from choking?"

"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao said without hesitation, "But are you embarrassed to have sex for nothing?"

Doctor: "..."

The doctor twitched the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "How much does a bottle cost?"

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand: "For the sake of being a fellow traveler, I'll sell you five taels of silver!"

The doctor was shocked: "Five taels?! Why don't you go and grab it!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the sky and spread her hands helplessly: "Then let other medical clinics do it for free."
