Translator: 549690339
With the new house in the county town, Su Hu gave up the guest room, and took his children to live in the new house.
The new residence had seven rooms. Under Grandma Wang’s advice, Su Hu and his family followed the layout of a wealthy family, separating the front and rear courtyards. Su Hu and Su Zixuan lived in the front yard, while Li Xiu’e and the girls lived in the back yard.
Su Ziqin studied in the county town all year round. It was not easy to pass the County Examination; one needed to study hard and stay up late. The ventilation and brightness of the room were very important.
Li Xiu’e loved her daughter and arranged for her to have the spacious south-facing room with the morning sun to make her living conditions as comfortable as possible.
Su Qingluo was tender and adorable. She was the darling of her parents and could not be aggrieved in the slightest.
Li Xiu’e did not hesitate to arrange the smaller south-facing room for her younger daughter. They and Grandma Wang stayed in the somewhat satisfactory rooms with good sunlight and ventilation on the east and west sides.
On a scorching hot summer noon, the flowers in the yard wilted listlessly with their buds drooping down. The butterflies that could usually be seen everywhere had disappeared, and only the cicadas tirelessly sang loudly in the tree branches.
Su Qingluo accompanied Little Baby in her small south-facing room, sleeping during the rare cool breeze. The little guy was not honest while sleeping, kicking and stomping around with his little legs. At one point, he kicked off the blanket on his stomach, exposing his round belly button.
Fearing that Little Baby would catch a cold with his exposed belly, Su Qingluo had to open her eyes and glance at him from time to time. Seeing that he had kicked the blanket again, she turned to reach for the blanket and covered him properly.
The cicadas’ screech was piercing, and with the rare breeze, Su Qingluo didn’t close the window. Lying in the quiet room and taking a nap, the sound became even clearer.
Perhaps disturbed by the cicadas’ screeching, Little Baby slept restlessly, grunting and fidgeting. After a while, he woke up tremblingly, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and pouting his lips for a pee.
Resigned, Su Qingluo got up, carried him out of bed, and rushed to the courtyard wall to let him pee in the flowerbed.
Little Baby was so sleepy that his head drooped, dozing off while peeing. While Su Qingluo was yawning, his little body almost tilted sideways and fell to the ground.
The annoying cicadas were causing a restless heart.
Feeling agitated, Su Qingluo grabbed a handful of small stones from the ground and threw them towards the tree branches, hitting several cicadas.
They fell from the tree with a few muffled thuds.
The noisy screeching was gone, and the courtyard was quiet. Su Qingluo felt comfortable, took a moment to clean her ears, and carried Little Baby back to the room, covering them both with the blanket to continue sleeping.
“Huh, why did the cicadas stop singing?”
Su Ziqin was reading in her room, also bothered by the cicadas’ screeching. Suddenly, her ears felt an eerie silence, and her eyes flashed with puzzlement.
She instinctively glanced at the parasol tree outside the window, and with her keen eyesight, noticed the dead cicadas scattered on the ground, which gave her goosebumps.
“Ah, never mind, let’s continue studying.”
In comparison to passing the County Examination and getting admitted to the imperial Academy, the deaths of a few cicadas were truly insignificant. She shook her head, casting away her disordered thoughts, gathered her wits, and continued to study the lessons taught by the master.
It was only in the evening that Su Qingluo woke up after accompanying Little Baby, who then had plenty of energy at night, rolling around in the bed and playing until midnight without wanting to sleep.
Helpless, Su Qingluo stayed awake with him, taking the opportunity to teach him to call her name.
“Big Sister’s name is Su Qingluo, and my nickname is Sister Yu. Xuan’er can call me Sister Qingluo or Sister Yu.”
Ever since Su Qingluo gave herself a beautiful name, she insisted on introducing herself as Qingluo. However, Su Hu’s family and the villagers of Woniu Village stubbornly kept calling her Sister Yu..
