Chapter 104: Giving a Little Snowman

Old Wu took a sip of wine, narrowed his eyes, and replied softly.

‘Hmm.’

Su Xiaolu tidied up before going to bed. The bed arranged by the Sun residence was very fine. It was very soft and comfortable, but Su Xiaolu could not sleep. She sighed and muttered softly, “It’s only been a day since we last saw each other. Why do I feel like I haven’t seen them for a long time? I miss home so much.”

“The bed at home is so much more comfortable …”

Without the familiar Third Sister by her side, Su Xiaolu could not fall asleep. After all, she had been sleeping with Su Xiaoling ever since she was weaned. When she was younger, Su Xiaoling would always hold her in her arms.

She didn’t feel it in the day, but once she was free, her longing surged like a tide.

Su Xiaolu entered the Space to check the herbs and tidied up before coming out to sleep.

Su Xiaolu missed her family, so Su Sanlang and the others naturally missed her too.

It was already night, but Madam Zhao still couldn’t sleep. She sighed faintly.

Su Sanlang reached out and pulled her into his arms. “You miss Simei, don’t you?”

Su Sanlang wasn’t asleep either.

Madam Zhao sighed. “I thought you were asleep. I wonder where Simei is now. Is she full? Is she asleep? I miss her.”

Su Sanlang said gently, “It’s okay. Don’t think too much. Simei will be back in a few days.”

“Sanlang, I can’t sleep.”

Madam Zhao was worried about her daughter and her sons. She didn’t feel sleepy. She thought about many things, but in the end, they gradually dimmed.

!!!

Su Sanlang knew what Madam Zhao was worried about. He swallowed and said, “Darling, let’s go and discuss with Chen Hu tomorrow and see if we can start this business. Regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, we have to give it a try first.”

If he wanted his two sons to study, he had to leave this place. However, if the entire family left, how much money would it cost?

Madam Qian’s sauerkraut and pickles were very delicious. Yesterday, when they were in town, Su Sanlang had specially looked around. There was really no one selling sauerkraut and pickles. This could be considered a plausible avenue.

Although he wasn’t sure if it would work yet, he had to try.

He and Chen Hu had both done things that others could not tolerate. If they wanted a way out, they had to find it. If there was no room for them here, they could leave. If they had worked so hard just to let others trample on their children in the future, there was no need to break free from this in the first place.

Madam Zhao nodded. “Okay, let’s go together tomorrow.”

Su Sanlang was the head of the family. Even if she was prepared, she had to wait for him to think it through.

Su Sanlang didn’t disappoint her. No matter what, they would always be together. Madam Zhao felt relieved when she thought about it.

“It’s late. Get some sleep.”

Su Sanlang turned his head and kissed Madam Zhao’s forehead.

Madam Zhao couldn’t help but smile at Su Sanlang’s intimate actions. She could feel Su Sanlang’s love and care for her. Every time she thought about it, she felt sweet in her heart.

Her worries were relieved, and Madam Zhao gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang woke up early and found that it had snowed late last night.

It was cold, and they went to the kitchen to cook. They worked together, occasionally glancing at each other and smiling.

When it was almost time to eat, Su Xiaoling got up. After a while, Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng also got up.

“The snow is lovely. If only Xiaolu were here. She likes to build snowmen.”

Su Chong looked at the snow in the courtyard and sighed. He missed his sister.

Su Hua thought so too. He frowned, then his eyes lit up. “Let’s build a snowman. Xiaolu will be back in a few days. She will be very happy to see it.”

Zhou Heng smiled and nodded. “Okay, let’s do it together.”

Su Xiaoling had already come to the kitchen to help Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao.

Madam Zhao gently stroked her hair and said, “Sanmei, go play in the snow too. Father and Mother are enough here. Go.”

Her third daughter was too sensible. She was the child they felt indebted to, but there was no way they could ever make up for that debt.

In the blink of an eye, this sensible daughter was already ten years old. She was becoming more and more sensible. The older she grew, the more sensible she became. There was no way to make up for it.

Su Xiaoling looked around the house and made sure that they indeed did not need her help. She smiled at Madam Zhao and Madam Su Sanlang and said, “Then I’ll go over and help them build a snowman.”

Madam Zhao nodded. “Go ahead. When it’s time to eat, I will call you.”

Su Xiaoling had never been innocent since she was young. Even when she was very, very young, she was very obedient. She would sit obediently and fall asleep when she was told to.

Seeing Su Xiaoling go over to play, Madam Zhao smiled. She turned to Su Sanlang and said, “In the blink of an eye, Sanmei is already a big girl. I wonder what kind of husband she will meet in a few years.”

In another five to six years, Su Xiaoling would be married. Madam Zhao was even more determined to leave this place. Only by going to a new place would her daughter have a chance to find a good family.

Su Sanlang’s eyes were gentle as he looked at the children playing with the snow in the courtyard. He retracted his gaze and looked at Madam Zhao. “Our third sister will definitely meet a good person who would love her for the rest of her life.”

Thinking of the children, Su Sanlang became determined.

For his children, he had to do his best.

Su Xiaoling joined in to build a snowman. Soon, she built a big snowman with Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng. They used wood to tamper with it and found stones to make eyes.

Just then, Madam Zhao called for them to eat.

The few of them went to the well to fetch water and wash their hands. After washing their hands, they went to eat together.

Su Xiaoling felt her clothes being pulled. She looked back at Zhou Heng in confusion. “Little Brother Heng…”

Before she could ask, Zhou Heng handed her a small snowman.

The little snowman was only the size of a palm, but it also had a nose and eyes.

Zhou Heng smiled and said to Su Xiaoling in a low voice, “This is for you.”

Su Xiaoling was pleasantly surprised. The snowman was cold, but she felt warm inside.

“Thank you.”

Su Xiaoling whispered back. For some reason, she suddenly didn’t want her family to see her, so she went back to her room.

There was an indescribable joy in her heart. She placed the snowman on the window inside the room and touched it lovingly. She whispered to herself, “Little Brother Heng is so good. Big Brother and Second Brother didn’t even think of giving me a snowman, but he remembers me.”

In fact, she did not care if there were snowmen or not. Eldest Brother and Second Brother treated her and Xiaolu the same. However, Zhou Heng gave her one alone. This was another kind of preferential treatment. Such unique treatment would make her happy for a long time every time.
