Su Mo had no objections.

If it were Su Xiaoxiao who was staying behind, he would probably be worried.

……

After leaving the Marquis’s residence, Su Xiaoxiao took the Marquis’s carriage back to Lihua Lane.

The three little ones were already waiting at the door.

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao stepped off the carriage, they pounded themselves at her, wrapping their little arms around her.

They had been stuck together every day, so they had grown used to being around her and couldn’t stand being apart.

The three of them looked aggrieved, their little faces buried in her arms and unwilling to move.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled as she patted their little heads, “Do you feel so aggrieved?”

The three of them nodded in agreement.

In fact, they felt so aggrieved not only because they couldn’t see their mother when they woke up……

Xiaohu waved his hand and complained, “Grandpa bought Tangfu (hu) Lu, not tasty!”

-Candied Haws / Candied Hawthorn / Tanghulu

He didn’t remember being pushed to the ground, but only remembered that candied haws were not delicious. 

Erhu also complained, “So sour.” 

Dahu didn’t say a word, he secretly hid a candy and ate with it, so it wasn’t so sour. 

Father Su walked over, “Isn’t it for your own good? Kids shouldn’t eat too much sweet.” 

Erhu retorted, “Then you can’t buy hawthorns either.” 

Father Su cleared his throat, “Cough, you even know hawthorn?” 

“Grandma Du has some.” Erhu said. 

He had seen hawthorns at Grandma Du’s place. 

Hawthorns were cheap, you could buy several for two copper coins. But sugar was expensive. 

The truth behind his frugal behavior was exposed, but Father Su still stood firm, “Kids shouldn’t eat sweets!” 

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t ruin her father’s argument. 

She turned to the three little ones and said, “Grandpa is right, you should eat less sugar, or Dahu and Erhu will have bad teeth like Xiaohu.” 

As soon as they heard about bad teeth, all three quickly covered their mouths. 

Father Su went to the nearby market to buy ingredients. 

Despite his usual careless appearance, he bought good quality goods at a cheap price. 

Su Xiaoxiao suspected it was because he was handsome…… 

During that time, Zhang Shan had come by once, bringing charcoal and firewood. 

Originally, he had planned to clean up the yard, but he found it was already tidy and clean. 

Zhong Shan was stunned for a moment, unsure whether he was deep in thought or looking at someone. 

By the time Su Xiaoxiao finished making a pot of pancakes, he had already quietly left. 

Dinner consisted of scallion pancakes and dough drop vegetable soup, along with a bowl of steamed eggs and a plate of stir fried cabbage.

The prices in the capital were too high, so Father Su didn’t buy any meat. 

The three little ones, who couldn’t live without meat, were also very sensible and didn’t argue about eating meat. 

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Dad, there’s no need to be so frugal.” 

Father Su nonchalantly replied, “Ahem, aren’t you trying to lose weight? If we all eat meat, then how uncomfortable it is for you to just watch it. Besides, just not eating meat once won’t hurt.” 

After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao went to wash the dishes.  

Su Cheng entered while holding something. 

“For you.” He handed the thing in his hand to Su Xiaoxiao. 

“What is this?” Su Xiaoxiao asked. 

The hair band was wrapped by Su Cheng himself, as the items sold from street stalls were not packaged. 

Su Xiaoxiao wiped her hands dry and picked up the item. 

After opening the handkerchief, she found a red bead string hair band. The beads were white, echoing the red color of the hair band, and the color was very bright. 

“It’s not cheap, right?” 

These were real pearls. 

“Not expensive, just two taels.” Father Su said. 

Two taels was not expensive? He was the kind of person who would save even five copper coins. 

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know what to say for a moment. 

He was reluctant to spend money on meat, but he was willing to spend two taels of silver to buy her a hair band. 

This father had always been very… very good to her.
