Chapter 7: Yuyu

Translator: Vicky_

“Hehe, you’ll name her. You’ve read books. The name you give must be great.”

Su Hu was rough, but he was very good at sweet talking his wife. Otherwise, he couldn’t have married the neighboring village’s youngest and most beautiful girl.

“Our first daughter is called Qiaoqiao, meaning that the woman is dexterous and intelligent.”

Li Xiu’e liked his explanation and gave him a blushing look. “The little baby is from an extraordinary background. Let’s call her Yuyu.”

No!

So vulgar!

The little baby girl and the little fledgling shivered in unison and couldn’t help but complain.

“Ahem.”

Li Xiu’e was sensitive to their dislike. She embarrassedly coughed a few times before softly soothing them. “The child is still young. Let’s call her Yuyu as the nickname first. When she grows up and can read books and recognize words, then let herself choose her favorite name.”

The little baby girl giggled.

She seemed to understand and smiled contentedly, her big sparkling eyes curved into small crescent moons, looking extremely adorable.

“Yuyu, this name is good. So catchy.”

Unaware of the secret plotting of the girl and the fledgling, Su Hu was still buttering his wife up, making her blush to the ears.

“Father, mother, I’ve brought the small shovel and basket.”

Qiaoqiao was very fast. She had been back from the yard when her parents were still talking, excitedly panting, her cheeks tinged with hazel red from the strenuous running.

“Xiu’e, take the children away. Beware of getting mud.”

With a small shovel, Su Hu dug the pit more quickly, one shovel after another, splashing the mud around.

“Look carefully, don’t hurt the roots.” Li Xiu’e uneasily warned him.

“Don’t worry.”

Su Hu patted his chest to ensure. “Before we married, I dug up ginseng when hunting with my grandfather in the mountains. It’s not as big as this one, but small ginseng with a small finger thickness. My grandfather had dim eyesight, so I dug it up alone without hurting a single ginseng root.”

“Fine, keep digging. We’ll watch besides.”

Li Xiu’e was encouraged and pulled Qiaoqiao and Doudou back a few steps. Her heart raced faster and faster with the hundred years of ginseng revealed little by little in front of them. It was as thick as the little baby girl’s arm.

A hundred years of ginseng! How much silver was it worth?

Heaven’s blessing! They finally no longer had to worry about foraging and fighting for food.

“Darling, I want to go to town and sell the ginseng roots for a good price while they are fresh.”

After digging up the ginseng and hiding it properly in the basket, Su Hu wanted to set off immediately to sell the ginseng in Furong Town, the nearest town to Woniu Village, based on his experience of selling ginseng with his grandfather,

“It’s late. You won’t get there until the afternoon if you set off to Furong Town now. A round trip is more than ten miles.”

Li Xiu’e had concerns. She was worried about her husband’s old leg injury, fearing that his knees would hurt if he walked a long time and that the pain on a cold day would be unbearable.

“It’s okay. There are donkey carts to the town across the river, three pennies a ride. I’ll arrive at Furong town at noon if I go in a donkey cart and back in the evening.” Su Hu had his plans and insisted on leaving.

“Mother, I also want to go to Furong Town with father.”

Qiaoqiao timidly chipped into the conversation, looking at her parents expectedly.

“I want to go too.”

Doudou was the little shadow of his sister, and wherever she went, he also wanted to go.

“Eeee.”

The little baby girl also waved her little hand cheerfully, her big black grape-like eyes shining brightly, expressing her interest.

“Yuyu also wants to go,” Li Xiu’e said subconsciously.

In her heart, the little baby girl was no different from the fortune doll given to their family by the heavens at this moment.

The trip to Furong Town must be very smooth with the little baby girl around.
