Su Jing was a little devil. “Drench them in hot water and pull out their feathers before we get the kitchen staff to braise them for us.”
Xiaoqi was an angel. “But they’re so pitiful. Their parents must be waiting for them to return home.”
Su Ce corrected Xiaoqi seriously. “The parents came out to look for food. Their babies must be waiting at home to eat. If they don’t go back, the babies will starve to death.”
Su Shi nodded and said sympathetically, “Uncle Su Nuo, let them go. Otherwise, the babies will starve to death at home.”
Su Nuo analyzed the situation very calmly. “Wild birds carry pathogens. There’s no way to eat their meat. Turtle doves can be raised, but sparrows have a temper. They definitely can’t be raised.”
In other words, there was no point in keeping them. They should let them go!
The little devil, Su Jing, did not want to let them go. He had finally caught them. “Then I’ll get the kitchen staff to cook them. I’ll feed them to the general, alright?”
Su Nuo gave him a cold look and said in all seriousness, “Your life is precious, but the general’s life isn’t? If the general is poisoned after eating them, we’ll see whether the Old Master will punish you.”
Upon being threatened, the little devil, Su Jing, was scared. He hesitated for a moment before frowning reluctantly and snorting. “Then I’ll keep the turtle doves and let the sparrows go.”
Su Nuo nodded and agreed. Then, he started playing with the birds he had caught with great difficulty.
The cage was quite big. When it was opened, the birds flew out.
Upon seeing the turtle doves fly away, Su Jing looked at his brother angrily and pointed at him. “Su Nuo, you did this on purpose!”
Su Nuo shrugged as though this had nothing to do with him. He said calmly, “You saw it too. They flew away by themselves.”
Ling Sheng, who was watching from the back, was overjoyed. Su Nuo looked like a gentleman on the surface, but she had not expected him to be so scheming and handsome. Who knew how many girls he would charm in the future?
The general Su Jing was talking about was a big dog raised by his family. He had been raised by the Old Master. He was said to be 14 years old, which was akin to a human being in their seventies or eighties. He was lying at the Old Master’s feet on such a cold day.
When the birds were released, Xiaoqi turned around and saw Ling Sheng behind him. His eyes widened in surprise. “Mommy, when did you get here?”
Su Nuo and the others also saw Ling Sheng. The children were very polite and greeted her one by one.
Ling Sheng actually wanted to tell them to wrap the birds in mud and heat them directly. When they were cooked, they would crack open the cakey mud. There would be no need to drench or pluck the feathers. The feathers would fall naturally. Bird meat was very fragrant!
Fine!
Actually, Su Jing was not a little devil. She was the devil!
The snow there was heavier than in the capital. Besides the snow on the road, the snow on the flowerbeds on the lawn had not been removed either. It had accumulated and become quite thick.
Ling Sheng was a big child. She led the children and had fun with them as they built snowmen, had snowball fights, set off firecrackers, and blew up fish.
Su Jing was reprimanded every day at home because he was mischievous. The entire Su Family had a very staid personality. Even the younger Su Ce and Su Shi were very staid. Only he was reprimanded every day, and there was talk of him being picked up as a baby. He did not match his family’s personality at all.
He had been a little depressed at one point. If he had not had a face that looked exactly like his brother’s, he would have suspected that he had been picked up as a baby. After meeting Ling Sheng, he finally felt happy. Look, who said that his personality was not like anyone else’s? His personality was quite similar to Sister Sheng Sheng’s!
