Shuangshuang and Huang Huang both woke up, and Ah Su got the two kids dressed and then fed them milk and food.
Su Xiaong leaned back on the sofa watching the ten o’clock news.
The news that seed dull and tedious two or three years ago now not only made sense but often led to deep reflection.
What impact a certain policy would bring, what reactions a certain event would have, what subsequent consequences...
Gradually, she felt that she was becoming more and more like Yin Shixiu, feeling that she was slowly... turning into a little old lady!!
She sighed but still didn’t change the channel.
Listening to a political scientist comnting on the current social situation in Western countries, it was about the small-scale turmoil that had occurred in so European countries recently.
The political scientist speculated that these disturbances were organized terrorist activities.
However, the reports from Western society did not attribute the cause to terrorist organizations, perhaps unrelated to terror activities, or maybe they fear causing social unrest...
Finally, the political scientist made a stern remark, saying that if this terrorist organization isn’t found, European countries will pay the price in the future!
The statent was firm and powerful.
Su Xiaong propped her cheek, thinking that this political scientist was making tough remarks on the dia, yet using vague terms like "in the future," wasn’t he just exploiting loopholes.
"Young Madam, I’m going to the market to buy groceries, what would you like to eat today?"
"I’m fine with anything. Mrs. Huang will co by later to bring dicine. After taking the dicine, I won’t be able to eat much for a while. Just prepare sothing that Shuangshuang and Huang Huang like."
"Okay."
Ah Su responded and went out with a cloth bag.
Once Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were full, they started playing around, and with the two little ones being rambunctious, Su Xiaong couldn’t concentrate on watching TV.
The space at ho was reasonably large, enough for the two little ones to move around, but with every nook and cranny, kids couldn’t resist playing.
She turned off the TV and leaned back on the sofa watching them.
Luckily, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang didn’t play for too long before they ca back to the floor mat and started playing with toys.
Around ten-thirty, the doorbell rang.
Before Su Xiaong could get up, Shuangshuang scrambled up, ran to the door, looked earnestly at the mom with a bulging belly who walked over slowly, and asked,
"Is Dad back?"
Su Xiaong pointed to the nearby electronic screen,
"It’s Grandma Huang."
Shuangshuang stood on her tiptoes to take a peek at the electronic screen and lost interest when she realized, then went back to fiddle with toys next to her brother.
Su Xiaong opened the door,
"Mrs. Huang, please co in."
Mrs. Huang had a thermal bag in her hand, which contained two thermos flasks, Mrs. Huang handed one thermos to Su Xiaong,
"Young Madam, I won’t co in. I brought it to you as soon as it was ready. Drink it while it’s hot, and don’t sneakily throw it away!"
Mrs. Huang knew that Su Xiaong actually didn’t like the herbal dicine.
Su Xiaong smiled and said,
"How dare I throw it away! For Little Treasure’s sake, I must drink it!"
"Young Madam, you’re truly great!"
Su Xiaong felt a bit embarrassed...
"Mrs. Huang, really not coming in to sit? Ah Su will be back soon, please stay for lunch before going back."
"How can I? When I was still on the road, the Young Madam Sun called and urged to quickly deliver her dicine."
"Ah, I see."
Mrs. Huang pursed her lips, and Su Xiaong saw a trace of disgust flash in her eyes...
"Mrs. Huang, you can deliver theirs first, I’m in no hurry."
Mrs. Huang looked at Su Xiaong with an expression she couldn’t describe...
"Young Madam, you are a good person. No matter how much they urge, I will take a detour to deliver yours first."
"..."
Su Xiaong took a shallow breath.
"Alright, Young Madam, I’ll stop talking now and head out."
"Okay, Mrs. Huang, the weather’s hot, take care."
After Mrs. Huang left, Su Xiaong closed the door. She didn’t notice the gloom and determination in Mrs. Huang’s eyes as she turned around.
Her sowhat plump hand gripped the thermal bag so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Su Xiaong turned around and took a bowl to pour out the herbal dicine from the thermos. Just as she did, it made the little girl unhappy.
Shuangshuang pinched her nose, glanced back at her mom, and t Su Xiaong’s gaze.
"Pinching your nose... Oh, little girl, you think it slls, don’t you?"
Shuangshuang giggled, knowing her mom drank this slly dicine for the sake of the sister in her belly.
Yin Shixiu had patiently explained it to her.
Su Xiaong watched as Shuangshuang turned her head back, squinting her eyes,
"Hey, you co over here!"
Shuangshuang pretended not to hear, even whispered sothing into her brother’s ear.
Prince Huang paid her no mind either.
Su Xiaong sighed, wondering what kind of daughter she had raised.
She sat there pinching her nose, gulped down the dicine, and quickly popped two cubes of rock sugar into her mouth, which softened the bitterness a little.
Shuangshuang got up at this point, waddling with chubby legs to Su Xiaong, and gave a thumbs up,
"Mommy... brave!"
Not sure where she learned that from, but it wasn’t important. What mattered was that it ward Su Xiaong’s heart.
She ruffled Shuangshuang’s fine, soft barely-there blonde waterlon head.
Then the little girl ran back to Prince Huang, her round body plopping down beside him.
They gurgled and babbled on, who knows what, indistinct but very enthusiastic.
The brother and sister always found joy in each other’s company.
Su Xiaong patted her belly, thinking once Little Treasure was around, the trio would surely make things even livelier, though it would certainly bring a lot of headaches too.
However...
If the sky were to fall, her husband would hold it up for her.
These little troubles seed trivial.
Su Xiaong got up and leaned back on the sofa again, reclining was far more comfortable than sitting straight.
She placed a soft cushion behind her waist, casually grabbed a French original book from the coffee table, Victor Hugo’s "Les Misérables."
No matter how far she studied a language, Su Xiaong was never greatly interested in classical literature. Those profound and philosophical things already made her feel obscure and difficult, and not to ntion it was in French, a language she totally didn’t understand...
Turning a couple of pages gave her a headache.
But... Yin Shixiu loved these.
The things he loved more or less had a sense of history, sotis Su Xiaong would joke that deep down he must be an antique too.
It probably had sothing to do with personality and age, the more steady one’s personality, the more likely they are to enjoy history, the older one is, the more they might love classical literature.
Su Xiaong didn’t have this kind of temperant, nor was she at that age.
But the story in the book, she could still understand.
The most talked-about quote in the book was probably, "The biggest ocean is the sea, larger than the sea is the sky, and bigger than the sky... is the heart of man."
However, soon Su Xiaong felt...
The narrowest and darkest thing in this world is the human heart!
It is so small that it makes you feel breathless!
Ah Su ca back with fresh ingredients, slled the herbal dicine and knew Mrs. Huang had been here.
"Finished drinking?"
"En!"
"Then I’ll wash the thermos!"
Ah Su went to pick up the thermos and was stunned when she saw it on the table,
"Young Madam, why’s the thermos different now?"
