“Xuan’er, very good, you found all the right herbs.”

Su Qingluo generously praised: “Starting today, you can learn how to take the pulse with your sister.”

“Really? That’s great, sister, I’ve always wanted to learn how to do it.”

Little Prince’s eyes sparkled.

“Of course it’s true.”

Su Qingluo smiled warmly: “Here, put your finger on sister’s pulse and try to feel its rhythm.”

“Okay.”

Little Prince was excited, rubbing his small hands, trying to locate his sister’s pulse.

“Feel the pulse yet?”

Su Qingluo patiently taught him.

“Yes.”

Little Prince studied seriously.

“Try to count the number of pulse beats from one to eighty, then stop.”

Su Qingluo was very satisfied with his intelligence.

“One, two, three… eighty.”

Little Prince concentrated and counted, his little face serious.

When he finished counting to eighty, Su Qingluo taught him about heart rate.

The sister and brother spent time learning together, time flew by quickly, and soon it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, marking the last day of the New Year’s celebration.

With their parents away, Su Zixuan, Wang Meng, and Su Qingluo decided to make glutinous rice balls with the four adorable kids to celebrate a meaningful Lantern Festival.

Wang Meng was in charge of kneading the dough, Su Zixuan prepared the sesame seeds, and Su Qingluo made the sesame filling with honey and sesame oil.

As night fell and the moon rose high in the sky, it resembled a large round plate.

The siblings and the four adorable kids sat around the table making glutinous rice balls.

The glutinous rice balls were of two types: those with fillings and those without.

Making the unfilled glutinous rice balls was simple: cut the dough into evenly sized pieces, roll them into smooth balls, place them in a flat-bottomed skillet, and sprinkle them with glutinous rice flour.

Swirl the skillet to make sure that every glutinous rice ball is covered with the dry glutinous rice flour, then drop them into boiling water and cook until done.

After Wang Meng finished kneading the dough, Su Qingluo cut it into even pieces, while the four adorable kids playfully followed Su Zixuan, rolling the glutinous rice balls.

Sister Wan had only small hands that quickly rolled the smoothest round balls, looking like white pearls that were particularly pleasing to the eye.

Maodou and Little Prince were determined not to be outdone, rolling the glutinous rice balls just as round.

Heidou was more playful, changing the shape of the dough into long strips one moment and round cakes the next, laughing happily.

After making the unfilled glutinous rice balls, Su Qingluo happily retrieved the sesame filling and guided the little ones on how to stuff them into the dough.

With the experience of kneading plain dough, the children quickly mastered the technique of stuffing the fillings, of course, except for Heidou.

When they filled the glutinous rice balls with sesame filling and coated them with glutinous rice flour and cooked them in boiling water, they were ready to eat in no time.

The adorable kids couldn’t be happier eating the glutinous rice balls they made themselves.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Mingshui Academy began its new term, and Su Zixuan returned to school.

With their parents away, Wang Meng volunteered to send him to the county town in their carriage.

Su Hu couples were taking the water route to the Capital City, so they didn’t take their carriage. The three horses had a comfortable New Year’s celebration.

Soybean had grown up, becoming a strong yellow horse.

As Jujube was a mare, Wang Meng decided to keep her at home, letting Black Wind and Soybean pull the carriage together.

Both of the stallions were tall, with strong limbs and shiny coats. When they ran side by side on the mountain road, they looked dazzling.

Since the road was slippery due to the snow, Su Qingluo specifically asked Wang Meng to drive slowly and not to rush back. She asked him to stay in the county town for a few days and gave him a shopping list with quantities of ink, brushes, and papers to purchase.

Maodou turned seven years old after New Year’s and Sister Wan was only two months younger than him.

Children in the countryside generally started their education at seven years old. Su Qingluo intended to teach them some basic vocabulary, poetry, and prose before they began formal schooling so that they could learn better and faster when they entered the classroom under their master’s guidance.
