Chapter 17 Being a Mother

   "Are you hungry?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

  The three little guys were too excited to learn that they were going out this morning. They didn't eat well at home, and they just wanted to come out and play.

  The three nodded.

  Su Xiaoxiao remembers that there is a stall selling dumplings and glutinous rice balls nearby. The couple have been making a living for many years, and the taste has always been good, and it is in the same direction as the medical center.

  Su Xiaoxiao took San Xiaozhi to the stall.

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

She was the first to see the guests, and pulled Proprietress's clothes: "Mother, there are guests here."

  The proprietress recognizes Su Xiaoxiao. After all, there are not many such fat customers, and once you come, you can remember it for a long time.

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

   she said pleasantly.

  The original staple food is large, you can eat three bowls at a time, and two bowls are sweet, who is fat if she is not fat?

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

  The three of them did not speak.

  The proprietress looked down, only to find that the fat girl was followed by three small dumplings.

  Xiao Tuanzi is so cute, with flushed cheeks, like three lucky dolls walking down from New Year pictures.

  The proprietress had never seen such a beautiful child, and couldn't help asking: "Girl, are they..."

  Su Xiaoxiao looked at the little girl who was snuggling beside the proprietress, then at the three little ones with envious eyes, and said seriously: "My son."

  The three little ones were taken aback for a moment.

  The proprietress was also taken aback.

  Su Xiaoxiao is too young, she doesn't look like the mother of three children, but in this chaotic world, it is not uncommon for girls to marry early.

  The proprietress smiled and said, "Three sons, really blessed."

  Su Xiaoxiao smiled.

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

  Three little ones: "Mother."

  I knew it would be like this.

  Su Xiaoxiao coughed lightly, and responded vaguely: "Well, what are you eating?"

  The three little eyes are bright.

  Su Xiaoxiao turned her face away, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't look at me like that, it's also the first time I'm being someone's mother...it might not be a good job..."

"eat."

   A little bean pointed at the dumplings and said.

  Su Xiaoxiao was surprised, saying the second word so quickly?

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

  The other two have hair swirls on their foreheads. The one with the white headband is Erhu, and the one with the blue headband is Xiaohu.

   Erhu and Xiaohu asked for glutinous rice balls.

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

   "Mother, eat." The three said.

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

  The three of them were facing the bowl, whistling in small mouthfuls.

  Su Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at the three of them and said, "You...can you say your own name?"

   She wants to know their real names.

  The three of them 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 held down their small chests with their small hands.

   "Big tiger."

   "Two Tigers."

   "Small ax (tiger)."

  Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

——

   After the three little ones had enough to eat and drink, Su Xiaoxiao took them to the medical clinic in the town.

  Yesterday, the fight came in and out through the back door, avoiding the staff of the hospital, so everyone didn't know her.

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

   "I want a pair of silver needles, besides." She paused, and reported more than a dozen herbs in one go.

  The shopkeeper settled the accounts for her, a total of five taels.

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

   "Can it be cheaper?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

  The shopkeeper smiled faintly: "How much does the girl want to give?"

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

  The shopkeeper laughed angrily.

What a village girl's voice!

   She traded her medicine.

  What medicine?Are the earth recipes in the countryside rotten herbs?

  What did she think Honor Hall was!

   "Honor Hall is the largest medical clinic in the town. Is there any good medicine? Would you be looking for something from a village girl? What can you get!"

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

  The shopkeeper mocked: "I think you are here to cheat the medicine. I have seen a lot of people like you! Hurry up! Otherwise, I will report to the police!"

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

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

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

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

  The boy turned his head and looked around: "It's her."

   That is, there are three more children around me.

  The guard asked strangely while gesturing: "Master, did she really just... take your arm back with just one click?"

   When the young master bumped into the horse, he was in the crowd on the opposite side, so he didn't see very clearly.

  The young man in brocade clothes hummed.

  The guard said: "I see her clothes, she is clearly a village girl, how could she be like this? Could it be that she also knows medical skills? Master, master! Let's invite her to treat Master Biao too!"

  The boy was silent.

  Connecting a dislocated arm and rescuing a choking and suffocating child, she should be knowledgeable in medicine.

   But... heal my cousin.

   "My cousin has a special status. People with unknown origins are better not to approach my cousin rashly. It's better to wait for Dr. Dong in the medical center."

  Dr. Dong has practiced medicine for many years, with excellent medical skills, he is the best candidate to treat his cousin.

——

  But said that after Su Xiaoxiao came out of the medical clinic, she planned to go to other places to have a look. She had just walked a few steps when she was stopped by a man in her fifties.

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

   is a doctor.

  The doctor cupped his hands at Su Xiaoxiao with a smile on his face, explaining why he came.

  Su Xiaoxiao let out a sigh: "So you were also in Jinji at that time... You want to ask me now, what method did you use to save that child?"

  The doctor smiled mischievously: "I hope the girl will not hesitate to teach you."

  Su Xiaoxiao waved his hand: "Hey, you're too polite, why don't you teach me? If you want to know, I'll just tell you."

"Really?" The doctor couldn't believe that the other party agreed so easily, it was different from what he expected!

   "Are you a doctor?" Su Xiaoxiao took out a small porcelain bottle from the basket, and smiled slightly, "It's just right, I have a bottle of golden sore medicine here, if you want it, I'll sell it to you at a low price."

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

   "Yes." Su Xiaoxiao said without hesitation, "But do you have the nerve to go whoring for nothing?"

   Doctor: "..."

  The doctor's mouth twitched, and he asked with a half smile: "How much is a bottle?"

  Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand: "For the sake of being a colleague, let me sell you five taels of silver!"

  The doctor was taken aback: "Five taels?! Why don't you grab it!"

  Su Xiaoxiao stared at the sky, and helplessly spread her hands: "Then let other medical clinics do prostitution for nothing."

  The doctor again: "..."
