Su Xiaoling smiled and nodded in agreement.

It was not troublesome to make a book bag, so Zhou Heng had a book bag the day after he entered school.

Su Xiaoling handed the book bag to Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng looked at him and smiled slightly. He said softly, “Thank you, Ling. It’s very nice. I like it very much.”

Zhou Heng carried the book belt on his back and entered the town with Su Chong, Su Hua, and the others. They started their school days of going to school early every day.

Cold winter has passed, and spring and summer have arrived.

The nameless wildflowers by the roadside were also competing for attention. Every day was busy and fulfilling. Everyone was like a sponge trying to absorb knowledge.

Su Xiaolu still came home once every three days. Every time she came home, she was always the happiest. In spring and summer, there were many types of ferns. They were red and black, sour and sweet, and tasted delicious.

Business at Shi You Wei was going well, and in town, there were people on other streets who wanted to open a sauerkraut pickle shop, but none of them succeeded.

In the blink of an eye, it was early April.

Now that the agreement with the Fu Man Lai Restaurant was about to expire, Madam Qian had developed a few new dishes.

Su Xiaolu’s eyes lit up when she got home today. “Auntie is so amazing. It’s so delicious.”

Madam Qian’s culinary skills were really amazing. It was a very homely dish, but she managed to make it into a delicious delicacy.

It was delicious and refreshing, fragrant, spicy, and fresh.

“Sister-in-law, you can rest assured now. No one in the world will say that your cooking isn’t delicious.”

Madam Zhao smiled and said that because of Su Xiaolu’s casual words, they had the idea of making sauerkraut and pickles into a business. Perhaps because of this, Madam Qian developed a new dish and always said that she wanted Su Xiaolu to try it.

Madam Qian blushed slightly and said embarrassedly, “Sister-in-law, you flatter me too much.”

Madam Qian’s hair was completely tied up.

In just four to five months, the scars on her face had faded. Without that terrifying bump, Madam Qian was no longer hunched over. Madam Qian had a very gentle face. Her eyes were not big, and her facial features were very gentle. Perhaps she loved to lower her head all year round. Now that she raised her head, she would be embarrassed if she was looked at for a while.

The scar on her face eventually returned to being like a watermark. It could not be completely removed, but if one did not pay attention, they would not think that it was a scar.

The ointment made by Su Xiaolu was successful. She had already decided to sell it for money. Now that Madam Qian had recovered, she was prepared to completely increase her schedule.

The two families ate together. After the meal, Madam Zhao and Madam Qian cleaned up together, while Su Sanlang and Chen Hu helped and talked.

Meanwhile, the children went along to read.

Ever since Zhou Heng entered the school, Zhou Heng and Su Hua taught Su Xiaoling how to read and write. Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu often came to listen.

Even the youngest Chen Shi listened with relish.

Su Xiaolu sat at the side and dozed off…

Inside the kitchen.

Su Sanlang said, “Recently, the shopkeeper of Fu Man Lai has been asking around about new recipes. Several restaurants have also been asking around. The shopkeeper of Fu Man Lai has talked to me. He’s willing to increase the price of each recipe by ten taels of silver. It’s not much, but Fu Man Lai has restaurants in Furongzhou and other parts. He said he’ll promote the recipe. That way, we’ll get more money.”

There were many places that liked spicy dishes. Madam Qian’s recipes were definitely feasible in these places.

When Shopkeeper Niu said that, Su Sanlang was a little tempted, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he said that he would consider it.

The shop was owned by two families. He would discuss any major decisions with Chen Hu and his wife and everyone would eventually make a decision together.

After Su Sanlang finished speaking, Chen Hu was a little worried. “Big Brother, from the looks of it, it’s best to continue working with Fu Man Lai. But if we have to leave home, I’m a little worried.”

Madam Qian also shook her head and said, “Brother, I don’t want to leave home.”

Madam Zhao smiled and said, “We don’t want you to go. Just teach the chef of Fu Man Lai Restaurant.”

Hearing that they didn’t have to leave home, Chen Hu and Madam Qian were relieved.

Madam Qian looked at Chen Hu and nodded.

Chen Hu looked at Su Sanlang and said with a smile, “Big Brother, Sister-in-law, if you don’t need her to leave home, then we have no objections. We’ll listen to you. We don’t know much about how things will develop, so we’ll just listen to you. Madam Qian and I will be responsible for taking care of the family and not letting you worry.”

The land of the two families, and the making of sauerkraut and pickles, were taken care of by Chen Hu and Madam Qian.

Su Sanlang nodded. “Okay, then it’s settled. Sister-in-law might be busy for a while again in a few days.”

After the cooperation was confirmed, Madam Qian would enter town together for a period of time until the chef in Fu Man Lai Restaurant was taught.

“Sister-in-law, it’s been hard on you.”

Madam Zhao patted the back of Madam Qian’s hand and said.

Madam Lian shook her head and said, “I don’t feel tired.”

The four of them smiled at each other and cleaned up the kitchen.

Chen Hu and Madam Qian brought Chen Daniu and her siblings home.

Su Chong and Su Hua also prepared to get water to wash up and sleep.

At night, Su Xiaolu lay in bed. When Su Xiaoling fell asleep, she immediately hugged Su Xiaoling’s arm and said, “Sister, I’m going to be rich.”

Su Xiaoling was stunned for a moment before she laughed. She pinched Su Xiaolu’s cheek and said, “Then tell me, how did you get rich?”

Su Xiaolu said seriously, “Sister, Auntie’s face has recovered. If I sell this scar removal medicine, I can earn a lot of money.”

Su Xiaoling was shocked. She thought about it carefully. That was indeed the case.

The scar removal medicine was too effective. When she finished the two boxes, the scars on her body were gone. Her skin was fair and tender. Which woman didn’t want to be fair and without scars?

Su Xiaolu added, “Sister, when I earn a lot of money, I’ll give it all to you, okay? This way, you’ll have endless money in your life and can do whatever you want.”

Su Xiaoling had never said what she wanted to do the most, but Su Xiaolu had always remembered it.

It didn’t matter if Su Xiaoling didn’t have anything she wanted to do. With a lot of money, she could be anything.

Listening to Su Xiaolu’s words, Su Xiaoling couldn’t help but smile. She hugged Su Xiaolu and said, “Xiaolu, I don’t want your money. I want to learn cooking from Auntie. When the time comes, studying recipes will also help our family.”

She didn’t want Su Xiaolu’s money, but Su Xiaolu thought of her and could share her money selflessly. She was so touched and sweetness flowed into her heart.

“Okay. I’ll be in for a treat when you can cook a lot of good food.”

Su Xiaolu snuggled into Su Xiaoling’s arms. She hugged Su Xiaoling and said seriously, “But I still have to give you a lot of money. This way, you will never be afraid.”

Money could reassure people at any time.

Especially since Su Xiaoling had experienced many years of suffering. The damage she had suffered would forever remain in her heart. She had no way to heal the damage from that time, but she could give her third sister a lot of sugar to sweeten her heart.
