Chapter 145 focuses on willingness.
With the books, Sweetie was able to stay in her room longer.
Seeing that she was engrossed in reading, Su Xiao quietly slipped out.
"Young Master Shang, come here quickly." Old Man Hua excitedly called to Shang Zimu, who was helping Old Man Gong stack firewood. When he saw Su Xiao come out, he waved to her, "My good disciple, come here too."
Su Xiao rubbed her forehead; she desperately wanted to run away, but she couldn't.
"Master, is there something you need? I still need to collect eggs..." Su Xiao lingered as she walked, subtly revealing the fact that she was busy and didn't have time. If it wasn't something important, then don't bother contacting her.
"What time is it? Why are you still picking up eggs? Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, go and pick up the eggs for Xiao Xiao." Seeing her like this, Old Man Hua couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He narrowed his eyes and had an idea.
"Wait, Brother Tian." Su Xiaozhen didn't expect that her master could so confidently ask people to do work, and that Tian Sheng would nod in agreement without any hesitation.
“Master, that’s my own work. How can I keep troubling Brother Tian to do it for me?”
Su Xiao frowned slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.
"So what? It's fine for him to rest on a rainy day anyway." Old Man Hua said impatiently, "Stop nagging and come here. At worst, we'll let him eat two more zongzi."
"Yes!" Tian Sheng echoed with unusual vigor, clearly very satisfied with the zongzi.
Su Xiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes. It was a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit; what could she do? If she said anything more, wouldn't she be considered immature?
"Thank you very much, Brother Tian. Since you like zongzi, I'll bring a few more tomorrow."
"No need, no need, that's enough." Tian Sheng waved his hand quickly, feeling quite embarrassed.
"It's settled then." Su Xiao waved her hand, taking the lead and leaving no room for refusal.
Tian Sheng pouted, but didn't say anything more, only planning in his heart to help her with chores more in the future.
It's not about the food; it's mainly about a desire. Hehe...
Shang Ziming watched all of this with a blank expression, but he didn't miss the subtle expression beneath Tian Sheng's dark face—it was joy.
He couldn't help but scoff inwardly. "A toad trying to eat swan meat! Doesn't he even know how dark-skinned he is, and how strong he is like a bear? What gives him the audacity to covet his little one?"
Lost in thought, he looked down at his hands. Hmm, they were in pretty good condition.
When Su Xiao looked over, he straightened his back, standing even more upright and spirited, full of energy.
Su Xiao was slightly surprised, then admiring. Although it was strange that he was standing at attention for no reason, his physique was indeed pleasing to the eye.
Shang Ziming's eyes lit up. She liked it. Hmm, maybe she could practice more in the future.
Old Man Hua called the two over, and presented them with the same prescription.
"Young Master Shang, I've studied the prescription Xiaoxiao gave me a little. One of the ingredients might be helpful for your symptoms. Although this prescription is mainly for reducing fever, with a slight modification, emphasizing the lower part of the body, it can be used to treat cough. I wonder if you dare to give it a try?"
Su Xiao stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Seriously? What kind of divine master did she find? He can actually learn from her strengths and improve her prescription?
Shang Ziming looked intently at Su Xiao, "I'm willing to give it a try."
Old Man Hua nodded excitedly and looked at her as well.
Su Xiao blinked, looking puzzled and innocent, and said, "Why are you all looking at me? I don't know any medicine."
Old Man Hua laughed heartily, "You gave me this prescription. If it can really cure young Shang, then you will have done him a great favor."
