Chapter 945: Chapter 950: Emerging from the Shell!

Su Lao Si was carrying the grilled fish upstairs when Zhou Ning chased after him from behind and blocked his path.

"Fourth Uncle Su, let me deliver the grilled fish instead!"

Zhou Ning had a shy look on his face, "I haven’t had a chance to see Pan’er since I got back! This is the perfect opportunity to say a few words to her."

"You...you don’t want to eat the grilled fish?"

Su Lao Si was somewhat troubled, Pan’er was in a delicate condition, and sending Zhou Ning to deliver the grilled fish? The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed!

"I ate earlier, and I’m not hungry right now."

Zhou Ning smiled with an honest and straightforward demeanor.

"Even if you’re not hungry, eat a bit more. Right! Was there too much salt in that soup you made? Was it salty? My foolish girl can’t eat salty food; I don’t know if she’ll be able to have the stewed Wild Game."

Su Lao Si held onto the tray and refused to let go.

"It shouldn’t be salty, right? That soup was made by my mother, but I prepared the Wild Game with my own hands."

Zhou Ning was unsettled by Su Lao Si’s comment, "Maybe I should go check if the soup is too flavorful."

"Go ahead, and while you’re at it, tell them to fetch a couple of radishes from the cellar to slice up for later."

The old fox Su Lao Si gave orders to the honest Zhou Ning, who was running around in circles trying to please him without any sense of conflict.

Zhou Ning hurried back in a rush.

Su Lao Si smiled to himself, what an obedient child indeed!

But when he turned around, he saw Mrs. Su-Hua staring at him knowingly, scaring him half to death!

"Why are you standing there silently? You could scare someone."

He tried to walk past Mrs. Su-Hua to go upstairs.

But she snatched the tray from his hands, "Alright, I’ll take the grilled fish up. What’s the point of you going up there?" At the end, she gave him a stern look.

Su Lao Si quickly followed her, "I’m bringing food to my foolish girl. How can you say it doesn’t matter? What’s with the way you’re talking, I...

"What’s wrong with how I speak? You’re talking so loudly; you want to frighten Little Sugar Bean?"

Mrs. Su-Hua gave him a glare, "Hurry and go grill a few more fish. What if Pan’er wants more? Don’t dawdle!"

"Eh? Ah! —— Okay, I understand."

Su Lao Si answered and quickly descended the stairs.

Indeed, as the saying goes, "fortunes rise and fall," in just a short while, the trick he used on Zhou Ning was now being used by Mrs. Su-Hua on him.

Mrs. Su-Hua cheerfully carried the tray into the room, calling out to Su Pan’er, "Come, come, come! Your father personally grilled fish for you; it’s still warm, eat it while it’s hot."

Su Pan’er was currently coaxing Little Sugar Bean.

Little Sugar Bean was usually well-behaved, always eating then sleeping, and after a full sleep, eating again, and only cried non-stop when she needed to urinate or defecate. If Su Pan’er was slow in her movements, she would cry even harder, turning her little face bright red.

At that moment, Su Pan’er lifted her up onto her own thighs, turning her this way and that as she changed her diaper.

She neither cried nor made a fuss, instead, she obediently let Su Pan’er fiddle with her.

"Mother, just put it there; I’ll eat it in a bit."

Mrs. Su-Hua placed the tray down and hurried forward, "Hand Little Sugar Bean to me! I’ll wrap her up."

"No, I can..."

Before Su Pan’er could finish speaking, Little Sugar Bean was whisked away by Mrs. Su-Hua.

Mrs. Su-Hua loved to play with Little Sugar Bean, and seeing her soft, little bun-like appearance, she quickly took her, kissed her cheeks twice, then swiftly changed her diaper and rewrapped her snugly.

"Don’t just stand there; the roasted fish will not taste good once it cools down. But, I see that the fish is heavily seasoned, so don’t eat too much, lest it harms your health. If you’re truly hungry, I have black chicken soup simmering on the stove for you, I will serve it to you shortly."

"I’m just going to taste it, have a little, I’ll be fine."

Obeyedly, Su Pan’er spoke as she picked up her chopsticks and then asked about Su Ke, "Is Ke’er awake yet? Has he eaten?"

"That child is still catching up on sleep. He looked so peaceful sleeping that I didn’t have the heart to wake him."

When it came to Ke’er, Mrs. Su-Hua’s face was all smiles.

After making sure Little Sugar Bean was secure, she carefully placed her back in the cradle, then checked on the silver charcoal to ensure it was burning properly before turning back satisfactorily to tidy up the soiled diaper, intending to take it out to be washed.

"Mother, you should eat too! Once I’m done, let the servants clean up. We have servants at home to attend to us, you don’t need to do everything yourself."

"No matter how carefully the servants attend to you, can they really compare to your mother taking care of her child?"

On most matters, Mrs. Su-Hua might not be so meticulous, but when it came to caring for Little Sugar Bean, she was never careless and was unwilling to entrust the task to others.

If it weren’t for the fact that Little Sugar Bean was still young and needed to be nursed by Dongmei, Mrs. Su-Hua would probably have taken on all of Little Sugar Bean’s feeding herself.

"But if you wear yourself out like this, what would happen?"

"When have I ever been so delicate?"

Mrs. Su-Hua gathered up the diapers, packed them into a basket, and headed outside, "I’ll be right back, you eat up while it’s hot, and after eating, take a rest for a while."

Su Pan’er agreed, and only then did her mother leave.

Su Pan’er took a piece of the roasted fish with her bamboo chopsticks and put it into her mouth, but the taste was very different from what she remembered.

Perhaps it was because crucian carp wasn’t suitable for roasting, perhaps her taste had changed, or perhaps it was the company while eating the fish that was off, but the fish did not taste as good as she remembered.

After tasting just a couple of bites, Su Pan’er stopped eating.

Just as she set down her chopsticks, she heard a faint "crack" sound. In the moment Su Pan’er was stunned, the sound mysteriously vanished!

Where did that sound come from?

Su Pan’er searched around for the direction of the sound.

Her gaze even fell on Little Sugar Bean for a moment, but the infant was quietly sleeping in her cradle, without the slightest disturbance.

Just as she was pondering, another "crack" sound rang out!

This time, Su Pan’er heard clearly that the sound came from the Yellow Flower Pear Blackwood Box to her left.

The Yellow Flower Pear Blackwood Box lay silently in its place, now quiet again.

But the next moment, the box lid trembled twice, followed by another "crack" sound, and the lid was nudged to reveal a narrow gap!

Su Pan’er was shocked!

She immediately stood up and dashed to the box, extending a shaking hand, slowly lifted the lid, and at the same time, saw clearly what was going on inside!

The charred egg had actually cracked open like an eggshell revealing a fracture, which continued to widen, splitting slowly into two halves to reveal the pinkish interior.

This scent...

Su Pan’er stared in astonishment at the charred egg, not even blinking an eye!

In the next instant, the eggshell broke open completely, and a plump pig’s head emerged from the charred remains.
