Chapter Seventy-Four: Cola Ginger Soup
Half an hour later, Su Ruotong was lying on the bed, surrounded by a circle of people.
Today, Su Changqing brought back all the dishes such as shrimp and fish, and the remaining vegetables were fried quite oily, which was not suitable for patients with high fever, so her dinner could only be changed to white porridge.
Mother Wu fed Su Ruotong white porridge with a bowl and said, "It's all my fault, when I saw Miss sleeping at night, I should have thought that she might be uncomfortable." ”
"Okay, Mother Wu, I didn't find myself feeling uncomfortable. Su Ruotong said. Sometimes it's not good if the mental power is too strong, and the physical discomfort is not so keenly felt. Besides, her headache was not so complete, except that she was a little sleepy, and she didn't notice anything wrong with her at all.
Su Changqing drove out and picked up the doctor to see Su Ruotong, Tao Xian reached out and touched Su Ruotong's forehead, it was really hot, and he felt guilty and worried.
Su Ruotong's body is quite healthy, if he hadn't made Su Ruotong cry for a while and be sad for a while, she wouldn't have gotten sick. He knew that when his temper came up, he would be willful and no one could control it, but it was still a little too much. It's okay to do this to others, but this is Tongtong!
His heart was gentle, and he said to Wu's mother: "I'll feed Tongtong, Wu's mother, you go downstairs to see, if there is a refreshing side dish, people with fever have no taste in their mouths, just order side dishes will be better." ”
Su Ruotong couldn't eat it either, and said to Wu's mother: "There are green and red peppers and cucumbers in the glass bottles under the kitchen that I soaked before I left, and I want to eat cucumbers." ”
Wu's mother hurriedly ran down, Tao Xian saw that there was no one else in the house, put the bowl next to her, and wanted to shake Su Ruotong's hand, but she avoided it.
Su Ruotong lowered her eyes slightly, and her face turned even redder.
She rarely has physical contact with people, let alone touching her hands and feet, although she is half showing her heart to Tao Xian, but Tao Xian can't be so abrupt as soon as she comes up! Occasionally touch her hair, touch her forehead to measure the temperature, just endure it, the degree of shaking hands is not okay for the time being.
Tao Xian knew that she was shy, lowered her voice, and said, "Tongtong, are you still unable to accept me." ”
"Nope. Su Ruotong whispered.
"Is that we not so familiar with each other?" Tao Xian said to himself: "No wonder, after all, we don't meet so often, I only stayed at Su's house for a few months last time, and you went to the capital for a few days, and the phone contact in the middle was not so frequent." Actually, it's all my fault, I should contact you more. ”
Su Ruotong didn't squeak, in fact, she has the most contact with Tao Xian, although she and some male classmates in the class can see them every day, but she has never seen them with her eyes, but for Tao Xian, even if she doesn't meet, she will search for some news about Tao Xian from time to time, and there are the latest developments and photos of Tao Xian.
It's just this kind of thing, how can she say it to Tao Xian.
Tao Xian heard that she didn't answer, and a layer of heat surged in his heart: "Look, we are already in this situation now, even if you don't agree to be with me immediately, I will wait for you." Why don't I stay in Xinhai for a while, and we can get along for a few days until you can fully accept me, and then talk about the next step, okay?"
His Tongtong is a shy little rabbit, and he has to slowly raise her before he can hold her in his arms and rub and kiss her.
Su Ruotong felt that this method was good. She is indeed a slow-burning type, and in this case, Tao Xian will be able to stay in Xinhai for a while, she is in school, she can't leave casually, and it is better to get along with real people than to watch the news, and she also wants to see the person she likes waiting for her when she gets home, so she nodded.
Tao Xian saw her nodding, a smile on her face, and just as she wanted to say something more, Mother Wu walked in at the door.
Su Ruotong ate with kimchi and barely drank a bowl of porridge. Probably the pepper was a little spicy, and at the end of the meal, she sneezed slightly.
Mother Wu hurriedly said, "Oh, miss, are you going to catch a cold?" I'll cook you some ginger soup." ”
Before Su Ruotong could speak, Tao Xian hurriedly said: "Then it's troublesome for Mother Wu, I think it's better to cook a bowl of cola ginger soup!"
"I don't want to drink cola ginger soup. Su Ruotong thought of the taste of cola and ginger soup together, and couldn't help but be speechless, this is a standard dark dish.
"Don't make a fuss! Coke was originally a medicine for colds and coughs sold in pharmacies, cola ginger soup can ward off cold, and you can use these small recipes to cure diseases, so don't take medicine, always taking medicine is not good for your health. Tao Xian said.
When Wu's mother heard this, she thought it was true, so she went downstairs.
Su Ruotong looked at Tao Xian: "I don't want to drink cola ginger soup!"
"I'll drink with you, okay?" Tao Xian said softly, Su Ruotong was born peacefully.
Tao Xian's purpose was to spend Wu's mother and be alone with Su Ruotong, he said to Su Ruotong: "Tongtong, you are going to have a summer vacation in June and July, I'll take you out to play during the holidays." Where do you want to go? Or let's go a little farther away, I have a friend who has an estate in Provence, and the estate has an olive grove at the back, and the sea in front of it, and a big pool in the yard, which is very comfortable to live in. ”
"Or let's go to a cooler place with a lot of good food, how about the five towns in Italy? Or go to the snowy mountains of Canada, do you like to climb mountains?"
Tao Xian talked about these delicious and fun places, and he couldn't be more familiar.
Su Ruotong's heart moved slightly, and at this moment, Wu's mother pushed the door in, holding a tray in her hand, and a cup of hot cola ginger soup was placed on it, exuding a strange taste.
"Miss, drink it while it's hot. Wu Ma said.
Su Ruotong pinched her nose and sniffed it, and said to Wu's mother: "Wu's mother, Brother Tao Xian stayed with me today, I'm afraid that the cold will infect him, so you can also give him a drink." ”
"No problem, I cook a lot. Mother Wu said happily: "I'll also give Boss Su a cup, it's still a little cold recently, it's good to take precautions." ”
Tao Xian would also drink cola ginger soup when he was about to catch a cold at home, and he didn't have the impression that it was so unpleasant, it seemed that he overestimated Wu's mother too much. It was probably because Wu's mother was afraid that Su Ruotong would catch a cold, so she put a lot of ginger in it, and the spicy flushed her nose, and the cola was boiled so hard that there were no bubbles at all, and there was even an unpleasant sweet smell of gum. He and Su Ruotong were holding a cup of thick cola ginger soup alone, relatively speechless. Tao Xian saw that Su Ruotong's nose was a little red, afraid that she would really catch a cold, so he endured the nausea and poured half a cup into it, and said to Su Ruotong: "Tongtong, you can drink it too." ”
After drinking the cola ginger soup, Su Ruotong felt that her tongue was not her own. However, with Tao Xian with her, the pain seems to have been reduced by half.
At night, Su Ruotong took a fever-reducing injection, took some medicine, and quickly fell asleep, Tao Xian rolled around in his bedroom, and couldn't close his eyes with excitement.
The next morning, Tao Xian got up at seven o'clock, downstairs, Su Ruotong had already made a table of sumptuous breakfast, Su Changqing and Wu's mother had almost finished eating, and after a while, only Su Ruotong and Tao Xian were left on the table.
Tao Xian picked up a small steamed bun with intestines, each only the size of a mouthful, he took a bite, the sausage inside is a Cantonese small sausage that has been processed in advance, the bite is not hard, there is a little bit of wine and pepper flavor, steamed oil, there are evenly distributed salty sesame seeds in the steamed bun, and it is not too fragrant to eat.
He hadn't tasted Su Ruotong's craftsmanship for a long time, and he really hadn't seen him for a day.
Su Changqing packed up, prepared to go to the company, walked to the restaurant, and said to Su Ruotong: "Tongtong, I have already called the school to ask for leave, today Thursday, you will have two classes in the morning for the weekend, don't go to the school and burn it again, wait until you are well." ”
Su Ruotong's fever subsided in the morning, but the doctor said that it was the reason for the injection, and suggested that she should recuperate for a while.
Tao Xian was struggling, and after eating breakfast for more than an hour, he said that he was eating, and he didn't put food in his mouth for most of the time, but was talking to her, or not talking, holding his chin to look at her, and not moving his chopsticks. In the end, Su Ruotong didn't bother to accompany him, and said, "Brother Tao Xian eats slowly, I'll go to the garden to have a look." ”
This year's roses are starting to bloom, and it's time to make rose sauce again, and Wu's mother is now tending to the flowers and plants in the garden.
Tao Xian hurriedly swallowed the last mouthful of porridge with a small steamed bun with intestines, and hurriedly said, "Wait for me." ”
The Su family's villa garden is very large, and there are more than 300 roses of various colors, some of which have grown for more than ten years and have grown into rose trees.
Mother Wu just finished watering the flowers, was cleaning up the water pipes, and said: "Miss, let's bask in the sun, ask Mr. Tao to accompany you, don't walk around by yourself, you have a fever just right, you must have no strength." ”
After a while, Wu's mother left the garden, and there were only two people left in this place, Su Ruotong and Tao Xian. After a while, there was the sound of the iron door opening and closing at the door, and Su Ruotong and Tao Xian didn't care, because Mother Wu sometimes went out to buy something, and it was normal to go in and out.
Because of the good sunshine and careful pruning, some of the slightly hardy varieties have bloomed full of flowers, which is very beautiful. In the corner of the courtyard, a huge vine-like moon tree is the most beautiful, full of large pink bowl-shaped flowers, petals stacked on top of each other, almost invisible leaves, like light-colored clouds clustered together, magnificent.
"This is a lonza gem, or it was planted when my grandfather was alive, but unfortunately it blooms in the spring. Su Ruotong said with some regret.
Tao Xian saw Su Ruotong standing under the rose tree, the people and flowers matched each other, so beautiful, his heart moved slightly: "I'll take a picture of you." As he spoke, he reached out for his phone.
Since Su Ruotong promised to cultivate a relationship with Tao Xian, she would naturally agree to these small requests, and agreed to stand under the tree, looking back at Tao Xian.
Tao Xian looked at Su Ruotong from the lens, remembering that when the two were on the lakeside, he inserted a peach blossom on Su Ruotong's sideburns, and the flower in front of him was also pink, no worse than peach blossoms, walked forward, folded a rose, gently inserted it in her ear, and went back to take pictures again.
Neither of them noticed that by the side of the garden, a woman was standing there, already quietly watching them sometimes.
