General, Madam Called You To Farm - Chapter 007

The three little cuties jumped down to the ground very obediently, their eyes were so lovely and cute. At first glance, they looked like innocent children.

“What’s your name?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The three little cuties went to Su Ergou’s back and hid their heads shyly, like three small mimosa plants.

-Mimosa plant. (It closes its leaves when touched)

This kind of shy little appearance made Su Xiaoxiao’s heart melt for their cuteness.

“Do they cry?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Ergou said, “they don’t cry, very obedient!”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Ergou’s behind. The three little cuties were peeking at her. When she caught them red-handed, they immediately pulled back their little heads.

“They just don’t like to talk.” Su Ergou said.

Su Cheng took out all the things he bought in the town one by one from the basket, and put them on the table.

Three little cuties slipped away and came over, stood on tiptoes while grabbing the basket, and stretched their necks to look inside.

“Looking for this?” Su Cheng picked up a bamboo leaf bag on the table and opened it. Inside were three sticks of candied haws that were half eaten on the road.

-Candied Haws / Candied Hawthorn / Tanghulu

Candied Haws were very expensive. Su Cheng was only generous to his daughter, but he was very stingy to others. Originally, he didn’t want to buy them. But who would have thought that when he turned his head, these three little cuties directly bit them——

Su Cheng felt pain all the way.

The three little cuties grabbed the candied haws and went to the room to find their father.

Unexpectedly, not long after they entered the room, they ran out in shock while holding the candied haws in their hands.

——Wei Ting fell so badly that even his own sons didn’t know him.

When Su Cheng and Su Ergou entered the room, they were both dumbfounded.

Where was the handsome son-in-law (brother-in-law) that was kidnapped?

Just didn’t see for a day, how could he become a pig’s head?

Su Xiaoxiao held her arms while leaning against the door frame, and said indifferently, “This is the man that you said was a hundred times more handsome than He Tongsheng?”

Su Cheng cleared his throat: “Daughter, you have to trust Dad, he’s really handsome.”

Su Ergou’s logic was strange: “Jie*, did you beat him?”

*姐 Jie : Older Sister

Su Xiaoxiao: “……”

“He fell by himself!”

Why should she beat him without reason? You were really my brother!* (*Sarcasm)

Since it was caused by a fall, then it would be all right when he recovered. Su Cheng put his heart down and asked Ergouzi to coax the three little cuties who were frightened and trembling, while he himself took his daughter to the main room.

Pointing to a box of snacks on the table, he said, “Dad bought you your favorite osmanthus cake, it’s Jinji’s.”

-Osmanthus Cake / Gui Hua Gao

The snacks in Jinji were not cheap. This small box cost a tael of silver, while the food grain was only three or five wén* for a pound.

*wén(文) : a currency unit; a string of 1000 wén was supposed to be equal in value to one tael of silver.

“Aren’t we running out of money?”

If she remembered correctly, Father Su took all of his own coffin’s money to send the betrothal gifts to He Tongsheng.

Su Cheng smiled and said, “Wedding gift money!”

Su Xiaoxiao murmured, “What kind of gift money is this much?”

Naturally, she did not know that Su Cheng had robbed three portions of the gift money.

There were a total of six osmanthus cakes in the box. At a glance, it could be seen that there were no shares for Su Cheng and Su Ergou.

“You haven’t eaten yet, right?” She asked.

Only then did Su Cheng remember that he had been out for a whole day, and said, “You must be starving, Dad is going to cook!”

“No need, I have cooked.” Su Xiaoxiao turned around and went to the kitchen. She took out the sweet potato soup and chive pockets, and said to Su Ergou, who was playing with several little cuties at the door, “Ergou, it’s time to eat!”

“Ei! Coming!”

Su Ergou led the three little cuties into the house and sat down to eat.

He looked at the wonderful appearance of chive pockets and sweet potato soup on the table and said in surprise, “Dad, did you make them?”

Su Cheng said, “Your older sister made them.”

Su Ergou’s expression was like meeting a ghost: “It’s not true, right? My sister, she……”

Before he finished speaking, Su Xiaoxiao opened a box of osmanthus cake and said, “You guys have to eat this too. Starting today, I want to lose weight, so I won’t eat these sweets.”

After saying that, as if to show her determination, she went into her room without looking back.
