“Here.”
Su Hu nodded: “She’s taking care of her younger brother.”
“Mr. Su’s family is thriving, and his children are outstanding. It’s truly a blessing. Could it be that your family has a Fortune Child?”
Sun Yuwei’s mother, Chang Shi, heard the two talking about her daughter’s playmate and laughed, complimenting them.
“Lady Sun is right.”
Luo Zhan laughed and chimed in: “Little Qingluo is indeed a Fortune Child, with a great reputation throughout the neighboring villages.”
“Is that so?”
Sun Clan’s couple was a bit confused.
It was just a polite thing to say, but they unexpectedly got it right.
“Heh heh, my daughter Yu is indeed very lucky.”
Speaking of good fortune, Su Hu couldn’t help but praise his daughter as his fatherly love swelled.
“Playing in the mountains, she can easily dig up ginseng and Lingzhi mushrooms, and when she catches fish in the river, big river clams the size of a washbasin roll towards her embrace, with pearls inside as big as longan.”
“Oh my, that’s like a fairy from heaven descending to earth.”
Chang Shi wanted to make the deal and complimented Su Hu.
Su Hu, his face beaming: “Isn’t it? My wife and I often wonder if our dear Yu is really a Fortune Child sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva.”
“Little Qingluo and our Yuwei are good friends, getting along very well at the academy. In a couple of days, they’re planning to go hunting in the mountains together. I’ve been looking forward to visiting Mr. Su and seeing for myself what kind of celestial fairy little Qingluo has descended from.”
Chang Shi spoke flatteringly, making Su Hu very pleased.
Luo Zhan struck while the iron is hot: “Brother Su, since Qingluo is at home, why not let her come and meet us, so as to fulfill Lady Sun’s wish.”
“Heh heh, alright, I’ll call Yu over now.”
Su Hu happily agreed, and quickly stepped out of the living room, turning into the adjacent hall.
The sky gradually turned dark, and Woniu Village was filled with the smoke of cooking. The aroma filled Su Clan’s kitchen.
Lady Sun sniffed her nose. As Grandma Liu came in to refill tea and water, she asked with a smile: “What’s cooking in the pot? It smells so good.”
“Chicken stew with sealwort.”
Grandma Liu smiled with the teapot in her hand.
“Sealwort?”
Lady Sun’s eyes widened in surprise, hesitating to ask: “Is it a kind of Chinese medicine?”
yes.
Grandma Liu smiled back: “It’s fresh from the mountains dug up by Sister Yu.
The chicken stew with it is delicious, and the soup is even more flavorful.”
Su Hu and his wife treated people with tolerance, and when Grandma Liu and the others came to Su’s house, they were treated like family. She called the children by their names, never referring to them as young masters or young ladies.
“It was unearthed by Sister Yu herself?”
Lady Sun was intrigued and became more interested.
“Yes.”
Grandma Liu nodded: “Sister Yu knows a lot about the herbs in the mountains, and she can always bring back some fresh ingredients. The chicken and stewed meat she cooks with them are exceptionally delicious.” Lady Sun joked with a smile: “Oh, that makes me salivate.”
“If you’d like to try it, Madam, I’ll bring a bowl for you.”
Grandma Liu had been a personal maid in a wealthy family before and knew how to please her masters.
At this moment, seeing Luo Zhan and the others dressed elegantly, she knew they were honored guests and helped the Su family draw them closer.
Lady Sun quickly declined: “There’s no need. I was just joking.”
“Grandma Liu, serve everyone a bowl of our chicken soup so that they can taste the village-typical dish.”
Su Hu happened to come in with Su Qingluo just then and joined in the conversation with a smile.
“Sure.”
Grandma Liu replied with a smile and went out with the teapot.
“Oh, this must be little Qingluo, right?”
Lady Sun saw Su Hu returning and instinctively looked to his right. She saw him leading a delicate, white-skinned, and beautiful young girl into the room and joyfully stood up, walking to the father and daughter..
