General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

“Mom.”

The three of them looked at one another uneasily.

Su Xiaoxiao patted the three of them on the head. “Be good. The horse is very good. Mom likes it very much.”

After a pause, Su Xiaoxiao felt that this might not be enough and added.

“I like the foal as much as I like you.”

The three of them hurriedly shook their heads! She had to like Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu the most!

Su Xiaoxiao understood and burst out laughing. “Okay, okay, okay. I like Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu the most.”

As she spoke, she carried the three of them down one by one. “Go find Daddy. Grandpa and Uncle will carry the foal in.”

The three of them obediently went.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled at the village head and said, “I like it, so I bought it.”

The village head was not stupid. He sighed and said, “The children like it, right? Sigh, you’re too indulgent.”

His thoughts were similar to those of Liu Ping. Even his own children were not so spoiled. If the child cried and refused to give up, he would just hit him a few times. How could anyone really dote on the children like this?

Their views were different, so Su Xiaoxiao didn’t argue with the village head.

Moreover, the three little ones were not children who only wanted things. Even if she did not buy it today, they would definitely not cry.

However, their young hearts might always have a regret that could not be filled. If the silver was gone, she could earn it again. Their childhood could not be restarted. She hoped that she could protect the pure kindness in their hearts.

Old Li removed the blanket and checked the foal.

He was the only one in the village who raised cows. Although he had never raised a horse, he was still more experienced than ordinary people.

He frowned. “It’s a premature foal, right?”

“What?” The village head was shocked. It was fine if it was a weaned foal, but it was actually born prematurely? No wonder it looked so weak and small!

“Can it still live?” He asked Old Li.

Old Li shook his head. “A foal needs to drink milk for the first two months. At the very least, it has to drink milk for a month. A foal without milk won’t grow up, let alone one who hasn’t had milk.”

“Aiyo, Heavens!” When the village head thought about how Daya had spent 40 taels of silver to buy this, he felt sorry for her.

“Can you find another horse to feed it?” he asked Old Li.

Old Li sighed. “We have to find it.”

There were very few horses giving birth in the winter. If this foal was not born prematurely, it should have been born at the beginning of spring next month.

Moreover, this was the countryside. No one raised horses.

The last hope in the village head’s heart was shattered. He looked at Daya sympathetically, not knowing what to say to comfort her.

Su Xiaoxiao knew in her heart that the village head and Old Li were not here to ridicule her. They were sincerely thinking in her interest.

She said seriously, “Village Head, Uncle Li, don’t worry. I can raise it.”

She did not say how she would raise it.

The two of them naturally did not believe her, but the more they said, the sadder she would be. They comforted her and left with sighs.

Father Su’s heart was bleeding. However, he had to raise the foal her daughter bought.

He went to tidy up the pigpen aggrievedly. There were no pigs at home. The pigpen was used as a woodshed and would be occupied by the foal in the future.

It probably wouldn’t be able to sleep in it for long.

Should he... or dig a hole in the forest behind?

Su Ergou didn’t know how to raise horses and didn’t know that the foal couldn’t be raised. Anyway, he would believe whatever his sister said!

Wei Ting walked out with his walking stick. He looked at the foal that Su Ergou had carried to the pigpen... It should be called a stable now... and then at Su Xiaoxiao, who had walked into the house with her head held high.

He was about to speak.

Su Xiaoxiao extended her chubby hand and gestured for him to stop. “Stop! I know what you want to say! Swallow it back!”

Wei Ting snorted and went to the kitchen coldly.

Fine, she wouldn’t let him say it. Don’t regret it.

Although Father Su usually slacked off in farming and assembly line work, he did not hesitate to pack up the stables.

He had no choice. He could not bear to let his daughter do such dirty work. After cleaning up, he was sweating.

All parents in the world dote on their children. Su Xiaoxiao could buy a foal for the three little ones, and Father Su could fix a stable for his daughter without any complaints.

Even if he had to personally bury this foal in a few days.

After finally tidying up the stable, Wei Ting walked over and said, “Dad, a newborn foal is afraid of the cold. This place is open. The wind and snow are strong. It will freeze.”

Old Master Su looked pained. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Su Ergou hugged the foal and said, “Dad, if we don’t raise it in the backyard, where should we raise it?”

Of the four rooms at home, only Wei Ting’s original room was empty.

Wei Ting said, “We still need to prepare some grass. Fresh wheatgrass is the best. If there’s no wheatgrass, dry grass is fine.”

It was not enough for Father Su to move all the withered grass in the house, so he went to Old Li’s house to request some.

“Liu Ping, you know woodwork. Coincidentally, help me repair the bamboo bed...”

Su Xiaoxiao came to the door of the small east room and halfway through her sentence, her throat was stuck.

“Sister, move aside!”

Su Ergou carried the remains of the bamboo bed out of the house and threw it into the backyard. He raised the axe and hacked!

“Hey, it can burn for days!”

Su Ergou was very satisfied.

Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She said to Liu Ping with a fake smile, “There’s no need to trouble you.”

....

Now that the cub’s residence was settled, feeding it was the next priority. Although she guessed that the rice soup wouldn’t work, Su Xiaoxiao still made a bowl to try. Indeed, the little horse was not interested at all. She could only get some milk for it to drink.

The three men at home were tidying up the dried grass for the little foal. Su Xiaoxiao blinked and quietly returned to the small east room.

She had to think of a way to enter the pharmacy. Surprisingly, she entered smoothly this time!

Uh... she was a little flattered.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to delay. The trigger mechanism of the pharmacy was too strange. She was afraid that if she was a little slower, she wouldn’t be able to take anything.

She first grabbed the token on the table. She had to bring this out no matter what.

Then, she arrived at the neonatology department’s area.

What was worth mentioning was that when she passed by the Orthopedics Department’s special area, she obediently didn’t take the bone-strengthening pills.

She found the milk powder counter in the second row.

Su Xiaoxiao chose three cans of goat’s first milk powder developed by the base and took a milk bottle with a cross mouth.

She paused, then thought of something and tentatively took another.

Seeing that she was not kicked out, she took two more!

When she left the pharmacy and returned to the small east room, she had three big jars of milk powder and four cute little milk bottles in her arms!

She happily went to make milk powder and touched her purse.

Only to find that the token had been seized by the pharmacy!

Indeed, there was a price to pay for taking advantage of others!

At night, Su Yuniang’s ten-year-old brother came to look for Su Xiaoxiao. “My sister isn’t feeling well. She asked you to take a look at her.”

Su Xiaoxiao went.

Su Yuniang was very comfortable. Her face was rosy, and her pulse was normal.

Su Xiaoxiao retracted her hand. “Aren’t you fine?”

Su Yuniang did not answer. Instead, she asked, “What are you thinking? Do you have too much money to spend?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Yes, I have to thank you for the five taels of consultation fee.”

Su Yuniang glared at her. “I’ll get someone to sell your horse for you. You won’t be able to sell it for forty taels. Let’s see if you can sell it for ten or twenty taels.”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t expect Su Yuniang to tell her this.

They were both daughters of the Su family, but Su Yuniang was much more honest than Su Jinniang.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Didn’t you say that it can’t be raised? Who will buy it?”

Su Yuniang tucked the child beside her. “There are always some people who are stupid and rich.”

Su Xiaoxiao suspected Su Yuniang was implying at her with that statement.

“I appreciate your kindness. I shall raise my own horse.”

She thought of something and said, “Su Yuniang, didn’t I fight with you when we were young?”

Su Yuniang glanced at her. “Why? Do you still want to fight?”

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “I won’t bully you since you’re having your confinement! Besides, it’s not like I didn’t win! Alright, let’s forget about the past!”

With that, she reached out to Su Yuniang.

Was this... a handshake?

Su Yuniang hesitated for a moment before placing her hand on Su Xiaoxiao’s chubby hand.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned strangely. “What?”

Su Yuniang’s eyelashes trembled. “What are you doing?”

“Today’s consultation fee!” Su Xiaoxiao said righteously. “I took your pulse!”

Su Yuniang was speechless!
