Chapter 201 On the Importance of Hands to Doctors

After eating some more, Su Nuannuan made an excuse to feed Liangliang and Yueyue formula.

These past two days, Su Nuannuan has been personally preparing the formula for both little ones with spiritual spring water. Their health has visibly improved.

Especially Yueyue, whose face was still pale when she first came back from the hospital. In the past two days, Su Nuannuan has been nourishing her body with spiritual spring water, and Yueyue's complexion has become rosy, and her hands and feet have become very strong.

This relieved both Wen Wuqi and Su Mianmian.

In addition to these, Su Nuannuan also fed Cheng Junqi and his two little ones some spiritual spring water.

The teapot that the three little ones drank from every day was filled with spiritual spring water by Su Nuannuan. She also added a lot of spiritual spring water to the water tank at home.

Su Mianmian's body, which had been somewhat depleted after giving birth, was gradually restored.

Su Nuannuan secretly observed the health conditions of her eldest and second sisters' families. Seeing that they had both improved significantly, she felt very gratified.

Around noon, Chen Xiuting finally returned.

When she returned, she was accompanied by a woman carrying two wooden buckets. The woman had dark skin and few wrinkles, but she looked older than Chen Xiuting.

After Chen Xiuting brought the person back, Su Nuannuan came out of the house.

"Mom, you're back."

Chen Xiuting waved to Su Nuannuan and said.

"Nuan Nuan, look. This is the seafood I brought back."

Su Nuannuan became interested as soon as she heard this.

You should know that the seafood sold at the docks is caught from the sea the day before. These things are much fresher and of much higher quality than what you find on the beach.

When Chen Xiuting went out to buy seafood, Su Nuannuan suggested that she buy more octopus, squid, and cuttlefish.

These resilient seafoods are easy to preserve after drying. Bring them home, soak them, stir-fry them, and you have a delicious meat dish.

The seafood that Chen Xiuting purchased was purchased entirely according to Su Nuannuan's ideas.

In her view, her youngest daughter is educated and knows a lot, so she does whatever her daughter says.

Therefore, at the dock, she saw a stall with many octopuses and, without hesitation, bought them all.

Besides these, there are also some shellfish that are easy to dry.

Su Nuannuan saw the octopus about to crawl out of the bucket and gave Chen Xiuting an approving look.

The woman who came to deliver the goods stood somewhat awkwardly.

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan quickly brought out a stool from her home and said to her.

"Auntie, you must be tired. Please sit down."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan went into the kitchen, and when she came out, she was carrying two bowls of brown sugar water.

Su Nuannuan handed one bowl to Chen Xiuting and the other to the delivery woman.

Seeing this, the woman pretended to refuse for a moment, then accepted.

Life on the island was tough; things like sugar were rarer and more precious than food.

When Su Nuannuan generously offered the woman a bowl of brown sugar water, she never considered refusing. She declined a couple of times, simply to avoid appearing unseemly.

Su Nuannuan was pleased to see the woman accept her kindness. This made it easier for her to say what she was about to say.

She sat down next to Chen Xiuting and spoke to the woman opposite them.

"Auntie, may I ask your surname?"

The woman, somewhat embarrassed, answered when asked her surname with such respect for the first time.

"My surname is Huang, and everyone calls me Aunt Huang." Seeing that Aunt Huang was easy to talk to, Su Nuannuan revealed her purpose.

"Aunt Huang, I'd like to buy some squid and octopus. Do you have any left at home?"

Aunt Huang's eyes lit up when she heard Su Nuannuan's words.

"Yes, yes, we have quite a lot at home. This stuff has a strong fishy smell, and people outside don't like to eat it. The old man in the family catches it and sells it off cheaply."

Aunt Huang didn't hide the fact that squid and octopus were unpopular. These two types of seafood reproduce very quickly, and a lot of them are caught every time the fishermen go fishing.

However, they never managed to sell much money each time.

This morning, when Aunt Huang saw that Chen Xiuting wanted to buy squid and octopus, she took her home and gave her all the squid and octopus she had at home, at half price.

Therefore, Chen Xiuting only spent five yuan on these two buckets full of octopus.

Chen Xiuting felt she had made a huge profit; it was much more lucrative than buying seafood. Moreover, Chen Xiuting had tried stir-fried octopus before, and found it very chewy, which her family didn't dislike.

She felt she could buy more this time and bring them back with her.

When Su Nuannuan asked Aunt Huang about squid and octopus, Chen Xiuting did not stop her.

Hearing Aunt Huang's words, Su Nuannuan's eyes lit up even more. She said to Aunt Huang...

"Aunt Huang, we're willing to buy all the squid and octopus you've caught these past few days that you've brought over."

Although squid and octopus are large, once dehydrated, they become shriveled pieces that take up almost no space.

Su Nuannuan didn't mind having too many. After all, she could store the extra octopuses in her own space.

As for the price, Su Nuannuan wasn't worried about not being able to afford it. After all, octopus is currently the cheapest seafood. Therefore, Su Nuannuan had already calculated that she could get a lot of octopus without spending a lot of money.

Aunt Huang left with a smile.

Chen Xiuting has already started processing the octopus she brought back.

Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian knew that Chen Xiuting wanted to take these things back to her home to add to her meals, so they didn't stop her.

However, the two still thought to themselves that in the future, they would often dry some seafood and send it back to the wife's family.

At lunchtime, everyone had a simple meal. Then, the three Su brothers joined in helping Chen Xiuting prepare the octopus.

Su Nuannuan also wanted to make a move, but Chen Xiuting stopped her.

Su Nuannuan still remembers what Chen Xiuting said when she stopped her.

“Your hands are for scalpels, so leave this kind of work to your older brothers and sisters.”

Su Nuannuan was surprised to find that Chen Xiuting's thinking was so conservative.

None of the three brothers, Su Jinjin, Su Mianmian, and Su Daliang, felt that this was unfair. They all thought that Chen Xiuting was right.

After being chased out of the kitchen, Su Nuannuan was still in a daze.

What Su Nuannuan didn't know was that Sister-in-law Yu had run into Chen Xiuting that morning. As soon as she saw Chen Xiuting, she began praising Su Nuannuan's steady hands, saying she had the potential to be a doctor.

Besides these, Sister Yu also advised Chen Xiuting to tell Su Nuannuan to take good care of her hands. She talked to Chen Xiuting a lot about the importance of hands for a surgeon.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuting agreed. She made up her mind that she would never let Su Nuannuan do any work that would harm her hands again.

To avoid upsetting the other children in the family, Chen Xiuting also relayed what Sister Yu had said to the three brothers, Su Jinjin, Su Mianmian, and Su Daliang.

Although they have seen some of the world, they really don't know much about the medical profession.

However, none of them thought Chen Xiuting was wrong.
