Chapter 60
60 Progress
“This is...” Su Xiaoxiao stood at the door and looked at the three children before looking at Su Cheng.
Su Cheng sighed. “They’ve been waiting for you all day, and refused to eat dinner.”
That was probably due to Father Su’s dark culinary arts...
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t expect to return so late and had only prepared and left lunch in the kitchen. Su Cheng had to contribute to the dark cuisine at night.
Su Xiaoxiao thought of how she had waited downstairs for Madam Li like this when she was young.
Madam Li was her mother in her previous life.
However, her waiting never paid off. Even if it did, Madam Li would not stay at home for more than ten minutes before leaving in a hurry.
She had also locked herself in her room in a fit of anger, waiting for Madam Li to coax her. However, when she opened the door and went out, Madam Li had already left, leaving her and the nanny who took care of her at home.
Su Xiaoxiao came behind the three little ones and poked their shoulders with her chubby index finger.
“Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, I’m back.”
The three of them didn’t move.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “What’s wrong? Am I too late?”
The three of them remained silent.
Su Xiaoxiao turned the three of them around.
Their small bodies turned around, but their small heads turned to the side stubbornly. Their expressions were extremely aggrieved.
If Madam Li had pushed open the door that she had not locked back then, she would have seen herself like this, right?
“Are you angry with me? Tell me, okay?”
Even though she tacitly agreed that they called her mother, she was still not used to referring to herself as a mother.
Dahu said gloomily, “I’m so sad.”
“Erhu is also sad,” Erhu said aggrievedly.
Xiaohu held his chest and said with heartache, “Xiao Fu... is the saddest!”
Ah, where did such young children learn these words?
It was so cute to hear children talking like adults!
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s my fault today. I should have come back earlier.”
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved the three of them felt. Their eyes were red.
It was still different.
In her previous life, she would not cry. No matter how sad she was, there were no tears.
Su Xiaoxiao bent down and kissed each of their cheeks.
“Don’t be angry, okay? I’ll take you guys to town tomorrow.”
The moment they received the kiss, the three of them blushed. No matter how hard they tried to maintain their aloofness and grievance, they could not hold it in anymore.
The three of them were so embarrassed that they fell to the ground. They covered their shy faces and got up.
They were going to show off to Niudan!
Looking at the three of them running out, Su Xiaoxiao laughed.
On the other side of the house, Wei Ting looked at the three little brats who had increasingly deviated from their original behavior and frowned deeply.
—
Everyone was not full from dinner, mainly because Su Cheng’s cooking was too terrible.
Su Xiaoxiao cooked a pot of noodle soup with cured meat and cut some vegetables. The family couldn’t stop eating and the three children even licked the plates clean.
Su Ergou went to wash the dishes while Su Xiaoxiao began to make peanut butter.
There was no mill at home, but Old Li’s family did.
Su Xiaoxiao planned to borrow it herself. Su Cheng’s heart ached for his daughter and couldn’t bear for her to move the mill at night, so he could only bite the bullet and personally visit.
Recently, Su Cheng had been going to town to hunt Zhang Dao down and did not come to learn farming much. Madam Qian was idle for a while and was laughing when she saw Evil Tyrant Su again.
“There’s no more land to plant!”
She slammed the door!
Su Cheng, who was snubbed was speechless.
Su Cheng knocked on the door in resignation. “I’m here to borrow a mill. I’ll return it to you after I’m done using it.”
There was no response from behind the door.
Was she refusing to lend it?
Su Cheng touched the bridge of his nose resentfully. If he had known earlier, he would have farmed properly.
Suddenly, the door opened!
A mill was thrown out!
Bang! The door closed again!
Su Cheng was dumbfounded.
Old Li’s family had two types of millstones. The big millstone was lent to someone else. The other was a small millstone that was not too heavy. Su Cheng could move it with his left hand.
However, Su Cheng was asking for a beating... He used his right hand and realized that his right hand... no longer hurt.
After fighting with Zhang Dao last time, his hand injury relapsed. If he used a little force, his hand would tremble and hurt at night.
He didn’t care. However, to him, he would get used to the pain.
But... when did it... stop hurting?
Could it be the bottle of medicine his daughter had given him?
Su Cheng returned home with a heart full of doubts and the small mill he had borrowed from Old Li’s family.
Su Xiaoxiao was sitting in the backyard with Su Ergou and Wei Ting. Wei Ting was made to sit there by her.
“Daughter, come here!”
Su Cheng put down the millstone and said to Su Xiaoxiao.
“Oh, I’m coming.” Su Xiaoxiao stood up and glared at Wei Ting. “Peel it properly. You’re not allowed to be lazy!”
Wei Ting said, “Heh.”
His hands which were used to kill enemies were now used to peel peanuts.
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Su Xiaoxiao came to Su Chengwu.
Su Cheng shook his right hand and said happily, “Look!”
“Look... what?” Su Xiaoxiao was confused.
Su Cheng said in surprise, “Dad’s wrist doesn’t hurt anymore!”
“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao was shocked. She hurriedly held Su Cheng’s right wrist and gently pressed it everywhere. “Does it really not hurt anymore? What about here?”
“It doesn’t hurt!”
“Here?”
“It doesn’t hurt either!”
Su Xiaoxiao pressed each area one by one. Other than the numbness and pain when she pressed some of his acupoints, it wasn’t like this before!
She had yet to officially treat Father Su and he had only eaten a bottle of bone supplements.
Could it be that... the bone supplements developed by the base not only had the effect of replenishing calcium and strengthening the bones but could also repair nerve damage?
This was definitely a big surprise and a big discovery!
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Dad, I’ll test the strength of your wrist. Don’t force yourself. If it hurts or feels uncomfortable, get me to stop.”
Su Cheng replied, “Okay!”
Su Xiaoxiao gently pressed Father Su’s wrist and increased her strength.
“You have to tell me if it hurts!”
“I will.”
His daughter understood how to feel sorry for others. He felt relieved.
When Su Xiaoxiao increased her strength for the fourth time, Father Su frowned slightly.
“Does it hurt?” Su Xiaoxiao quickly stopped.
“It’s a little numb,” Father Su said.
“Then that’s all for now.” Su Xiaoxiao retracted her hand.
The results of this test were much stronger than expected. She thought that Father Su’s hand injury would only improve after a series of complicated treatments.
However, a bottle of bone supplements allowed her to see hope.
His damaged nerves were slowly recovering. In the past, she had 50% confidence in helping him recover, but now, she had 80%!
There was a reason why the pharmacy was so stingy. The conventional prescription medicine she took probably could not compare to a bottle of high technology bone strengthening pills.
She had fleeced the base!
“Hehe.”
Su Xiaoxiao felt that she had picked up a huge bargain.
Su Cheng looked at his fat daughter who was smiling foolishly and couldn’t help but tremble. “Daya, don’t scare me.”
He would rather his hand didn’t get better than let his fat daughter become a fool.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Father Su and said hopefully, “Father, your hand will definitely recover!”
She was 80% confident. She would use all her strength to fight for the remaining percentage!
