The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 202 The Mortal in the Immortal’s Tribulation (8)

The next day, Su Xiangran got up in the morning and before she had breakfast, she heard a knock on the door.

She frowned and went to open the door, then saw Luo Ming standing at the door with an embarrassed expression. He lowered his head and stepped on his feet. The road was mostly muddy, and the straw sandals on his feet were in a terrible state.

Su Xiangran sighed, took a scoop of water from the water tank by the door, and poured it on Luo Ming's ankles.

"Ah! Doctor Su." Luo Ming exclaimed. Although it was already spring, the water was still a little cold.

Su Xiangran said helplessly: "The stone slabs at the door are too dirty. I rinsed them clean, but I didn't expect that they would splash onto your feet."

Luo Ming felt a little aggrieved, as he only had this pair of straw sandals, and his trousers were now wet.

"Take off your shoes by the door and rinse your feet before coming in." Su Xiangran said with disdain, but her words were exactly the opposite, "Your clothes are not good, and how long have you not showered?

When doing odd jobs in the medicine house, cleanliness is the most important thing. Go to the kitchen to boil some hot water, then go to the bathroom next door to wash yourself clean before coming out."

"But I don't have any clean clothes." Luo Ming felt a little uncomfortable. He also wanted to wash himself, but there was not much dry firewood left at home.

When the rainy season comes, everyone starts cooking with firewood first.

"I have some clothes that were passed down from my father's medicine boy." Su Xiangran seemed not to notice his embarrassment. "Take them and wear them first! Since you are doing odd jobs for me, I will not let you go naked."

After saying this, Su Xiangran didn't care about his expression and went straight into the medicine room to start looking for the clothes she had left behind.

It was said that they were the clothes of the medicine boy, and also the clothes of Su's father's former servant. However, the servant only followed him for a few years and then left the Su family.

Later, Su Xiangran saw the servant several times. He had grown up, and the silver and money received in the city were also brought by him.

If there are some new good things, the servants will also bring some for her.

The servant was called Su Ren, who was about ten years older than Su Xiangran. When Su's father had just passed away, he also wanted to take the original owner into the city.

But the original owner had already gotten used to a leisurely life, so Su Ren did not force her, but would often send her some good things.

It was he who gave Su Xiangran the pair of rain boots made of special materials.

As for the rainy season, Su Xiangran had plenty of firewood, even silver charcoal left over from the winter.

Luo Ming took a hot bath as Su Xiangran requested, and then changed into the clothes she gave him. Although they were a bit big, the fabric was very soft and much more comfortable than the linen clothes he had worn before.

"Are you still hungry?" Su Xiangran looked at Luo Ming and sighed, "What kind of life is this? You don't have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear. Forget it, there are still two steamed buns in the nest, I'll give them to you!"

Luo Ming knew that Su Xiangran was a hard-mouthed but soft-hearted person, and he was really hungry, so he didn't hesitate and started eating. However, just like yesterday, he only ate one and put the rest in his arms.

Su Xiangran acted as if she saw nothing and began to instruct him on how to do the work.

The Su family has a well, but she likes to draw water first and put it into a small tank under the eaves of the yard, which is just enough water for a day.

Luo Ming had almost used up all the water in the water tank while taking a bath just now, so he had to fill it up first.

Actually, although it is called miscellaneous work, there is not much work for Su Xiangran to do. After all, she is alone and there are not many patients usually.

Especially during the rainy season, not many people go out, and even fewer people come to see the doctor.

Although Luo Ming is only ten years old, he has to do farm work at home, so he is quite strong.

After the small water tank was full, there was basically nothing to do. Su Xiangran didn't ask Luo Ming to do anything. She just let him sit aside and rest, and told him to do whatever he wanted and she would call him if there was anything.

Luo Ming looked at a basket under the corridor in the yard. There seemed to be something in it, but he didn't dare to move until Su Xiangran said something. He wanted to find something to do, but he had no idea what to do when he just arrived.

It was almost noon when Su Xiangran came out of her room and said to Luo Ming, "Go make a fire! I'll make lunch."

"How about I cook?" Luo Ming thought for a moment and said, "I'm here to do odd jobs. I can do small things like cooking."

Su Xiangran looked the boy up and down with a critical eye, and then said unceremoniously: "You really can't cook, at least you can't cook meat dishes."

When Luo Ming heard this, he was suddenly shocked. Meat dishes? Doctor Su can eat meat dishes?

He thought that even though Doctor Su's family was well-off and she had a skill compared to his sister, he thought she could only make ends meet at best. He didn't expect that she could even eat meat.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Su Xiangran ignored his shocked expression and said unhappily, "Although I'm paying for your meals these days, it doesn't mean you have to eat the same food as me."

Luo Ming quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I don't want to eat meat."

Su Xiangran urged him: "Go make a fire, you really talk too much."

Luo Ming walked into the kitchen, sat on a small stool beside him, and started to light a fire absentmindedly.
