In the blink of an eye, Gu Ping'an's eighth birthday was ushered in.

Su Mo got up before dawn and made longevity noodles for Gu Ping'an, one of which was a bowl.

In the past, when she had a birthday, her mother would make this and lay an egg in the dough.

Mom said that if you eat one to the end, you will have a long life in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Mo's nose was a little sour.

She followed the steps in her memory and kneaded the noodles into strips...

Sunlight poured down and slipped in through the cracks in the room.

Gu Ping'an has not had a birthday since Gu Dalang and the others died, and he has long forgotten what his birthday was.

He got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and then went out, grinning when he saw Gu Jinnian.

"Second brother, early."

Gu Jinnian glanced at him and pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Big brother, morning."

Gu Ping'an was visibly happier with the naked eye.

went to the bathroom with Gu Jinnian, took the willow branches soaked in Su Mo and began to rinse his mouth.

After washing, the two of them started to run, and when they came back, Su Mo had already made breakfast, and there was hot water in the kitchen for them to wash.

Gu Xingnian had already learned from Su Mo that today was Gu Ping'an's birthday, so he would sit on the chair and keep staring at Gu Ping'an who entered the door and smiled.

Gu Ping'an scratched his head, feeling that his little sister was a little inexplicable.

Su Mo patted Gu Xingnian on the shoulder, signaled her to be more restrained, and then asked Gu Ping'an and the two to hurry to the table.

"Hurry up and eat noodles on the table, and after eating, my mother will take you to the county to play."

When Gu Ping'an heard that he didn't need to be literate, his eyes lit up, and he picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, but found that there was a noodle in the bowl.

Gu Ping'an was a little at a loss.

Su Mo's eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, "Today you are your eighth birthday, and your mother specially made longevity noodles, hold one end and eat it slowly, eat it from beginning to end, and live a long life."

Gu Xingnian covered her mouth and smiled, and when Su Mo's voice fell, she opened her mouth crisply.

"Happy birthday brother."

Gu Ping'an sat on the chair in a daze, looking at the noodles in the bowl.

Tick... Tick...

Tears slipped from the corners of his eyes and dripped into the bowl.

"Okay, why are you still crying?"

Gu Ping'an wanted to say that he was too happy.

But his throat was sore and swollen, and he couldn't say anything when it came to his mouth.

Su Mo sighed in his heart, gave Gu Xingnian a look, and whispered to her to go to the house to get a handkerchief for washing her face.

Gu Xingnian responded obediently, and her little short legs ran fast.

Gu Ping'an had already stopped his tears, Su Mo handed over the handkerchief and said, "Wipe it quickly."

"Thank you, mother."

Gu Ping'an took the handkerchief, choked and spoke, his voice as weak as a mosquito.

Su Mo really likes to rub the heads of the three children, the hair is soft and feels excellent.

She removed the devil's claws from Gu Ping'an's head and pointed at Changshou noodles with a smile.

"Okay, if you don't eat noodles again, you're going to dry up.

We'll have to drive the ox cart to the county."

Gu Ping'an nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and according to what Su Mo said, picked up the end of the noodles and began to eat.

The taste of noodles is very ordinary, no different from the noodles of the past, but the boy thinks that this is the most delicious delicacy in the world.

Gu Jinnian didn't know his birthday, looking at the scene of Su Mo and Gu Ping'an's mother and son's filial piety, his heart was a little pantothenic.

He looked down at the noodles in his bowl, pursed his lips, and then stuffed them into his mouth.

….

Obviously, it was still the noodles she cooked, but he felt unpleasant to eat.

After the family had breakfast, Su Mo took the child to the county seat, the weather in August had turned cold, and the summer clothes made at the beginning naturally could not be worn for long.

Su Mo first took the three children to Fang Yue and made a few autumn and winter clothes.

After paying the money, Fang Yue still wanted to greet Su Mo for a while.

But there are a lot of customers in the shop, and then there are self

After Su Mo knew about the relationship between her and Fang Shi, he didn't want to be too entangled with her.

People's hearts are unpredictable, they are brothers and sisters with blood affection, and she can't trust them.

Su Mo smiled lightly, and quietly withdrew his hand from Fang Yue's hand.

"Good sister, hurry up, wait for the fifteenth, I'll come back to get the clothes."

On August 15, the moon worship festival, like the Shangyuan Festival, the county town will hold a temple fair, and the lanterns are colorful, so it is not lively.

And that day was also Gu Jinnian's birthday.

"Cheng, when the time comes, let's go to the temple fair together, and go to my place to sleep for the night."

Su Mo smiled and did not give a reply.

A few more customers came in the shop, all because of the cold weather, to make thick clothes.

Seeing this, Fang Yue hurriedly received the guests, and asked Su Mo to go before leaving.

Leaving Fang Yue's shop, Su Mo led the child to a place specializing in selling bedding.

The guy greeted him warmly.

"Madame, do you want to buy our ready, or do you go back and get the cotton cotton cloth yourself?"

Su Mo had been here before, so he knew the difference between the two.

She didn't hesitate, she wanted to make the futon directly, which was more expensive, but it was not like making it herself, and if she didn't get it right, she would run cotton.

Three beds and a five-pound quilt will be used soon.

Considering that the winter in Luoshan Village was really cold, Su Mo also bought three eight-pound quilts.

This can be regarded as a big customer, and the man's eyes narrowed into a line.

"This lady, our shop can deliver the goods, do you think you need it?"

"Do you want money?"

The guy shook his head: "You bought so much, how can we still charge you money."

When Su Mo heard that he didn't want money, he naturally should go.

"Then please send you to Luoshan Village around the hour, and I will let the child wait for you at the entrance of the village at that time."

The guy hurriedly bowed, "Okay."

For birthdays, it is naturally impossible to have just a bowl of longevity noodles.

Su Mo took the three children to walk around the street, and when he saw food, he asked the three of them if they wanted to eat.

Gu Xingnian did not refuse to come, and his little belly was round and round.

Although Gu Ping'an also eats, he will pay attention to the price, and if it is expensive, he will not want it.

Only Gu Jinnian, his new teeth were only half grown, and because of the vinegar in his heart, he didn't eat anything.

Su Mo saw it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

She can't always take care of Gu Jinnian's emotions in every detail, and proper laissez-faire is not necessarily a bad thing.

Su Mo hugged Gu Xingnian, led Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian to Qianzhuang first, took a silver ticket of twenty taels of silver with the voucher, and then went straight to the silver building.

When she came back from Huzhou Mansion, she had the idea of using the gold to make a long-life lock for her three children.

In Luoshan Village, the longevity lock is also called the longevity thread, most of them are made of copper coins, cloth, and silk threads, and then the newborn is brought when he is 100 days old or one year old, which means to dispel disasters and evil spirits, and "lock" life.

The Gu family followed the customs, and at the 100-day banquet of the two brothers, Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian, they were all hung with long-life locks made of sterling silver.

It's a pity that Gu Dalang, Gu Jingting, and Ning Nanqing died later, and the original owner couldn't make ends meet, so he actually took the two longevity locks as pawns.

And Gu Xingnian, after the full moon, was thrown to Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian, and he never gave it for a hundred days or a year, let alone a long-life lock.

But the gold is too conspicuous, and it will inevitably make people red, so it will not be gone.

Now that she is free, and it is Gu Ping'an's eighth birthday, she ponders how to make up for this longevity lock for the three children.

I like that after death, I became the cannon fodder mother of the three protagonists
