So after finishing his work in the fields, he pulled his uncle to the back hill where wild flowers were in full bloom.

When he came back, he passed by the stream and saw some fish. He jumped into the water without thinking. If Su Zhiyan hadn't held him back, he would have been soaked all over.

Although fish in the wild have many bones and are very fishy, ​​and generally no one in the village would go out of their way to catch fish to eat, it is meat after all. It is rare to see Su He recover a little, so he needs to nourish himself well.

Given the current situation of the Su family, they can forget about having a meal of meat, as they still owe a lot of foreign debts. Even the youngest, Su Chi, knows that all the money in the family must be kept for paying off debts and buying medicine for his elder sister, and cannot be spent carelessly.

When Su He saw the fish, his eyes lit up instantly. If the fish was marinated, it would be delicious to cook into fish soup, which was much better than the wild vegetables he usually ate.

She didn't know where they caught them, so she had to ask. One day when she had time, she would take a bamboo basket and catch more.

"You guys are running to the foot of the mountain again, and you're going into the water to catch fish? The fish is so fishy that you can't eat it. Why are you wasting your energy?"

While complaining, Old Mrs. Su looked at Su Chi's feet with heartache. He hoped that he wouldn't bump into any of his feet since he came back barefoot.

"Grandma, I just want to nourish my sister's body."

Su Chi looked at Old Lady Su, then at the fish in his hand. His head slowly drooped and his voice gradually became lower.

When she heard Su Chi's words, Old Lady Su's expression froze. She moved her mouth but couldn't say anything.

She also wanted to make some delicious food for Su He to nourish her body, but how could her already weak body survive eating those wild vegetables?

But what could they do? Not only did the Su family owe foreign debts, they had also sold all the tiles on the roof. Now they couldn't come up with a single cent.

There is only one hen left in the Su family's backyard. It was because this hen lays an egg every day that Old Mrs. Su couldn't bear to sell it.

They saved all the eggs and were reluctant to eat them. When they had almost all of them, they asked Su Dawu or Su Danian to sell them when they went to the city to do odd jobs, and exchange them for needles, thread, salt and the like to supplement the family income.

Occasionally, they would take out one to make steamed eggs for Su He to nourish her, but even Su Chi, the youngest in the family, didn't get any.

Seeing this, Su He quickly said, "Grandma, it's okay. I know how to cook this fish. I guarantee it won't have any fishy smell. We can all have a bowl of soup tonight."

It is the busy farming season these days, and the Su family must be exhausted. These fish are not big, so stewing a bowl of fish soup is just right for everyone to have to warm their stomachs.

After hearing Su He's words, Old Mrs. Su didn't say anything. She just thought that Su He was comforting her.

Su He had been ill for so long and had never been out of the house, so how could she make fish soup? She didn't take it too seriously. She waved her hand and quickly asked Su Chi to go to the well and wash the mud off his face.

"Ah He, look, here are the flowers that your uncle picked for you. I'll put them in a pottery jar and ask Ah Chi to put them in your room later."

Su Zhiyan didn't say anything about what happened just now. He just waved a bunch of wild flowers in his hand towards Su He, with a smile on his face as warm as the spring sun.

Su He then noticed Su Zhiyan standing by the door, holding a bunch of wild flowers she couldn't name. The white and yellow colors blended together, a bit like wild chrysanthemums, and looked quite unique and no worse than the flowers she had bought before.

"This is what my uncle and I picked for my sister. It looks nice, isn't it? There's a big patch over there. If you like it, I'll pick more for you in a couple of days."

After washing his face, Su Chi shook off the water on his hands, came up with a smile, and spoke to Su He in a flattering manner.

"Okay, then sister will wait." Su He touched Su Chi's head and said happily.

"Then I'll go make dinner first and make fish soup for you in the evening."

As soon as Su He finished speaking, the gate of the Su family was pushed open again. Before anyone came in, the old man Su's low voice came: "What fish soup?"

Then, everyone from the Su family who had worked in the fields today came back. The old man Su, who was at the front, looked at the three people in front of him and asked in confusion, "Look what Grandpa brought back for you!"

When Old Man Su came in and saw Su He in the yard, he was even happier. He quickly took out something from his pocket and held it in front of Su He, waiting for Su He's reaction with a happy face.

Su He looked at the old man in front of her who was smiling with wrinkles on his face. He looked a little tired, but when he looked at her, his face was full of joy.

Old Man Su looked at Su He who was staring at him blankly without saying anything.

He quickly opened the package in his hand. Su He then noticed that the old man Su was holding a bunch of leaves wrapped in it and he couldn't see clearly what was inside. When the old man Su opened it, red fruits were revealed.

It's wild strawberries!

"Grandpa, it's wild strawberries!"

Wild strawberries?

The Su family members in the yard were a little surprised, but they quickly came to their senses and realized that this red wild fruit was called wild strawberry.

"Sister, this is called wild strawberry. I just found out about it today. Sister is really amazing."

Su Chi's eyes were sparkling. Just now, his elder sister said that she could make fish soup that was not fishy. She even knew that this wild fruit was called wild strawberry. His elder sister was really amazing.

Hearing Su Chi's words, Su He felt a little embarrassed. He looked at everyone in the Su family. They all had an expression of "I see." It turned out that they didn't know that this was called wild strawberry.

"How did Ah He know this is called wild strawberry?"

Su Zhiyan asked blankly. Su He seemed to have changed a lot today and was not like what he remembered.

Not only does he know how to cook fish, he even knows what this wild fruit is called, and what is strawberry?

Everyone in the Su family was a little confused when they heard Su Zhiyan's words.

Yes, Su He had been ill for many years and seldom went out. They didn’t know its name, so how could she know it?

The Su family members all looked at Su He in a daze. Su He's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she was only thinking about how to improve the Su family's food, but forgot that she seldom went out, so how could she know so much?

"What are you all thinking about? Ah He is different today. She has been ill for so long, but today she came with me to the fields to deliver food and picked wild vegetables together. This must be the gods blessing our Su family. We are finally getting happiness after suffering."

Old Lady Su packed up the fish that Su Chi brought back, wiped the water drops from washing her hands on her apron, and said to everyone with awe:

"Our Ah He is a blessed child. Everything will be fine in the future."

The Su family has suffered a lot in the past few years. If Su He gets better in the future and doesn't need to take such expensive medicine, the family's situation will gradually get better.

When everyone thought about the past few years, they forgot their doubts about Su He. When they heard what Old Lady Su said, they nodded, their hearts full of awe for the gods, and they prayed that the Su family would have good days in the future.
