Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Yu bought a bunch of vegetables and brought them home. The dishes she made were all dishes that she had never cooked before. It was very sumptuous. The Lu family members ate until they were all sprawled on the dining table with their stomachs out, not wanting to move at all.
Shu Yu was the first to get up and walk around the courtyard to digest her food.
After she walked one round, she saw Dahu and Sanya coming out. They followed behind her and stepped on her shadow.
Shu Yu found it funny. Why was it like a mother duck bringing a duckling?
She turned her head and asked Dahu, “Have you asked? When is your classmate coming to visit? How many people came?”
Dahu raised his head. “I’ve asked. They’re coming the day after tomorrow. There are eight of them.”
Sanya exclaimed, “Brother, you’ve already made eight friends? So powerful.”
She didn’t even have one.
Shu Yu patted her head. The little girl did not go to school and was not familiar with the county. Other than helping out at home, she would go to the shop to play. At most, she would get to know a few young girls of the same age among the neighbors in Liufang Alley.
However, there weren’t many girls around, and Sanya hadn’t been in Liufang Alley for long, so her best friend was Maneki.
Dahu also held her hand and said, “Don’t be sad. My classmates also have sisters. When we get to know each other better, we can play together.”
Sanya nodded heavily. “Alright.”
Shu Yu walked around again and felt a little more comfortable. Then, she chased the two little fellows to read.
Every day when Dahu came back from school, he would bring Sanya to read for an hour. He was very much like a young master.
Shu Yu turned around and walked to the kitchen. It had been so long, and they couldn’t still sit on the stool, especially the old lady. She was getting on in years, and she couldn’t just sit .
Who knew that when she walked to the kitchen door, she found that her parents were talking about her?
“Why do I feel that Yu is acting strange today?”
It was Madam Ruan’s voice. “Did something happen?”
“I thought it was strange too. She talked to me in the shop all morning.” Although Lu Erbai was very happy that his daughter was chatting with him, this unusual behavior made him feel uneasy.
Daya added, “She went to the clothing room in the afternoon and spent the entire afternoon making clothes with us.”
The old lady said, “I even bought a lot of vegetables when I came back at night. There are also many varieties of cooking.”
As she spoke, she frowned. “It seems like something must have happened. Just give me an explanation…”
She didn’t finish her sentence. It was inauspicious. Even when she thought of this possibility, the old lady couldn’t help but slap herself twice.
Shu Yu, who was at the door, was speechless.
It seemed that her actions today were too abnormal. Instead, it made her family suspicious.
Forget it, she should go do her things tomorrow.
Shu Yu did not enter the kitchen again. She turned around and went back to her room.
Sure enough, the next day, under the worried gazes of her family, she waved her hand and went out. “I won’t be back for lunch. I might be a little busy today.”
The old lady and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
Three black lines slid down Shu Yu’s forehead. Was it that exaggerated?
She laughed and left the courtyard. After she left, she went straight to Doctor Xu’s clinic.
She had bought a saltpeter from the clinic. It was not easy to get this thing. Fortunately, she had a good relationship with Doctor Xu, and he had connections. He had the few things that Shu Yu wanted..
