Chapter 4 Weight Loss
The three little cubs jumped down to the ground very obediently, with cute eyes. At first glance, they looked like children without any scheming.
"What are your names?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
The three little bean sprouts swung around behind Su Ergou, hiding their little heads shyly, just like three small mimosa plants.
This shy little look made Su Xiaoxiao very cute.
"Are they crying?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Ergou said: "Don't cry, be good!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked behind Su Ergou. Three little beans were peeking at her. She caught them and immediately retracted their little heads.
"I just don't like to talk." Su Ergou said.
Su Cheng took out the things he bought in town one by one from the basket and put them on the table.
Three little cubs walked over, stood on tiptoes, grabbed his basket, and stretched their little necks to look inside.
"Are you looking for this?" Su Cheng picked up a bamboo leaf bag on the table and opened it. Inside were three bunches of candied haws that were half eaten on the road.
Candied haws on a stick are getting expensive. Su Cheng is only generous to his daughter and is picky with others. He didn't want to buy it at first, but as soon as he turned around, three little bean sprouts bit into it——
Su Cheng's heart ached all the way.
The three little beans grabbed the candied haws and went to the house to find their father.
Unexpectedly, not long after they entered the house, they ran out in shock holding candied haws on a stick.
——Wei Ting fell so badly that even his own son didn’t recognize him.
When Su Cheng and Su Ergou entered the room and took a look, they were both dumbfounded.
Where is the handsome son-in-law (brother-in-law) who was kidnapped?
How could he turn into a pig's head after not seeing him for a day?!
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms, leaned against the door frame, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Is this the man you said is a hundred times more beautiful than He Tongsheng?"
Su Cheng cleared his throat: "Daughter, believe me, dad, he is so good-looking."
Su Ergou's mind was clear: "Sister, did you beat him?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
"He dropped it himself!"
Why did she beat him for nothing? You are really my brother!
Since it was a fall, it would be fine once it recovers. Su Cheng felt relieved and asked Er Gouzi to coax the three little cubs who were trembling with fear, while he pulled his daughter to the main room.
Pointing to a box of snacks on the table, he said, "Dad bought you the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you love, from Kam Kee!"
Kam Kee's dim sum is not cheap. This small box costs one or two silver, while the grain only costs three or five cents per catty.
“Didn’t our family’s money run out?”
If she remembers correctly, Father Su put all his coffin books in it for He Tong to give birth to.
Su Cheng smiled and said: "Partial money!"
Su Xiaoxiao murmured: "Who has so much money?"
Of course she didn't know that Su Cheng had robbed three people of their money.
There are a total of six pieces of osmanthus cake in the box, and at first glance, there are no pieces for Su Cheng and Su Ergou.
"Have you eaten yet?" she asked.
Su Cheng then remembered that he had been out all day: "You must be hungry, daddy is going to cook!"
"No, I've done it." Su Xiaoxiao turned around and went to the kitchen, brought out the sweet potato soup and leek boxes, and said to Su Ergou, who was playing wildly with some little beans at the door, "Ergou, it's time to eat!
"
"Hey! Here we come!"
Su Ergou led the three little beans into the house and sat down to eat.
He looked at the excellent-looking leek boxes and sweet potato soup on the table and said in surprise: "Dad, did you make these?"
Su Chengdao: "Your sister did it."
Su Ergou's expression looked like he had seen a ghost: "Isn't it right? My sister..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Xiaoxiao opened a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "You guys also ate this. From today on, I want to lose weight and won't eat these sweets."
After that, as if to show her determination, she entered her room without looking back.
It took Su Ergou a long time to come back to his senses, and he asked in confusion: "Dad, sister, is she... has her brain broken?"
Su Cheng slapped his son on the forehead: "Your brain is broken!"
Su Ergou touched his numb head and muttered: "Then what's going on?"
His daughter's reaction today was indeed abnormal, but Su Cheng didn't think too deeply about it. He only felt that his daughter was greatly stimulated by He Tongsheng's regret of the marriage, and this was the reason why her temperament changed.
Su Ergou picked up a leek box suspiciously: "Can the food made by sister be eaten?"
The next second, he was slapped in the face.
The food his sister makes is so delicious!
…
The Su family has four rooms in total, two east rooms and two west rooms. The east room in the south is the largest and has the best lighting. It was used as a wedding room for Su Xiaoxiao.
Wei Ting was recovering from his injuries in another east room.
Su Cheng and Su Ergou lived in two west rooms respectively, and the three little beans rested in Su Ergou's room.
After night falls, the family falls asleep.
Su Xiaoxiao got up quietly.
She took out the first aid kit from the quilt, opened it and took inventory. It was the medical drugs she put in it, and they were all good.
how so?
Did you also bring the first aid kit with you?
She really couldn't figure it out, was this science or theology?
"No matter what, it's more important to save people first."
Su Xiaoxiao took the first aid kit and oil lamp and went to Wei Ting's house.
She closed the door and turned the wick to the brightest setting, but the light was still not enough, so she brought over the oil lamps from other rooms.
As she expected, Wei Ting's injuries worsened and his condition was very critical.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't waste any more time and unbuttoned his clothes.
Even though I've seen it once, I still can't help but sigh when I look at it again - this man's figure is so awesome.
The abdominal muscles are fast and distinct, with smooth lines, and the arms and chest muscles are plump and firm, but not exaggerated. Even the mottled scars seem to exude the power of battle damage.
Su Xiaoxiao used saline to clean his wounds, and the stab wounds on his abdomen and calf needed to be sutured.
At this time, Wei Ting on the bed slightly opened his swollen eyes.
"Can you hear me?" Su Xiaoxiao asked him in a low voice.
Wei Ting's consciousness was blurred.
Su Xiaoxiao continued: "I'm going to suture your wound, please don't move."
I don’t know if he understood it, but he couldn’t move in his current state.
Su Xiaoxiao gave him local anesthesia, sutured the wound, and wrapped it with gauze. During the whole process, she could feel that Wei Ting was trying hard to keep himself conscious.
She took two anti-inflammatory pills and asked Wei Ting to take them.
At this point, Wei Ting could no longer hold on, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He was asleep, and Su Xiaoxiao was still busy.
Su Xiaoxiao applied medicine to all the other large and small injuries on his body, carefully checked his pulse again and again, observed the location of his injuries, and ruled out the possibility of massive internal bleeding, which was a relatively minor hematoma.
This condition can be treated with medication as long as it does not worsen.
…
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao worked hard to get up early.
What she said last night that she wanted to lose weight was true, and she had already made a weight loss plan in her mind.
The first step is to quit the habit of eating too much and being too lazy to do anything, and get yourself moving.
With her current weight, it is not suitable for strenuous exercise on the ground, which will hurt her knees. She can start with simple housework.
She went to the stove to light the fire.
She made sweet potato soup last night, and today she made sweet potato pancakes instead.
First mix the cornmeal and dice the sweet potato. The sweet potato itself has its own sweetness. Just sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt into the cornmeal.
The sweet potatoes are wrapped in cornmeal batter mixed with chopped green onions and fried in a pan, filling half the village with fragrance.
She also steamed a few.
She and Wei Ting ate steamed food.
