Su Luo sat down at the tea stall she had been at before. Tongfu Restaurant was still open.
She specially brought some braised pork today. She got up early in the morning to make it. She kept half at home and brought the other half here for Gu Xiaoer.
But since she had already appeared in front of the boss and the boss's wife yesterday, there was obvious displeasure on their faces when they saw her coming again.
Su Luo didn't want to reveal her intentions so early, so she sat down with a smile, "Boss, let's order."
The boss glanced at her warily: "Are you here to eat?"
"Yes!" Su Luo shrugged: "Otherwise, would you come here to fight?"
"..." When the boss heard that she was here to eat, his expression eased a lot, "Then take a look at the menu and see what you want to order."
Su Luo casually ordered a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a soup, and her spending was quite generous.
The boss looked much better.
Su Luo came here today mainly to observe Gu Xiaoer's living conditions up close.
She came to order food at this time and the kitchen had just started preparing the dishes.
Gu Xiaoer was helping wash vegetables in the kitchen, pursing his lips with an expressionless face. He heard the woman's voice outside, but did not go out.
He hated that hypocritical woman.
They sold him, and now they are pretending to come and take him home. It's really funny.
Su Luo's three dishes and one soup were served by Gu Xiaowai.
It was summer, and she ordered a big bowl of seaweed soup. When Gu Xiaoer brought it, his palms were burned red. He was a little anxious and sprinkled a little soup on the back of his hands.
The boss was annoyed and frowned, scolding: "How do you work? You are staggering while serving soup. Do you have nails under your feet and can't stand steadily?"
Su Luo looked at Gu Xiaoer's hand, a trace of heartache flashed across her eyes. When she turned to the boss, she smiled and said, "Children are bound to get bumped into things. Your child is really sensible. He comes to the store to help with work at such a young age."
The boss was distracted and smiled at Su Luo: "No, children from poor families have grown up early!"
Su Luo didn't say anything else. She just soaked some rice in the soup and poured the spare ribs and lettuce into the lunch box she brought.
The boss saw that there was braised pork in her lunch box. When he opened the lid, the aroma was so rich and mellow that even he, a restaurant owner, couldn't help but swallow his saliva at the smell.
He was surprised and asked, "Comrade, didn't you bring your own food? Why are you ordering food from me? It's a waste of money!"
Su Luo smiled and said, "I brought it for others, not for myself to eat."
The boss nodded and said nothing more.
Su Luo packed all the dishes and began to eat the rice slowly.
Although the weather is hot, there are fans in the store so it is still cool.
As it got closer to dinner time, more people came into the store.
The boss and Gu Xiaoer also got busy and no one paid any attention to her anymore.
Su Luo ate her meal while watching the situation in the store.
The boss was not very nice to Gu Xiaoer. He was obviously not feeling well, his face was red and his breathing was rapid, but he was still busy running around, serving dishes and collecting plates.
Su Luo saw Gu Xiaoer about to faint several times, and she was so scared that she couldn't help but feel her heart tighten.
When I came yesterday, I heard that he had a fever. I guess his family didn't give him any medicine, so he is still sick.
After waiting for several long hours, the store was finally done and Gu Xiaoer could go home and rest for a while.
As soon as he left, Su Luo followed him.
When Gu Xiaoer heard the footsteps, he frowned and looked back. Seeing Su Luo following him, he became even more displeased. He turned around and walked forward with his head down, quickening his pace.
Su Luo rushed forward in two steps and grabbed his wrist: "Waiter!"
Gu Xiaoer's hand was grabbed, and he struggled for a few times but failed to break free. He glared at Su Luo angrily: "Let me go!"
Su Luo felt that even his wrist was burning hot, and hurriedly said, "You are sick, I will take you to the clinic!"
"I'm not going!" Gu Xiaoer turned around and was about to leave.
Su Luo picked him up without saying a word, carried him on her shoulders, and headed towards the clinic they saw when they came.
Gu Xiaoer kicked and stomped her in the stomach: "Put me down! Put me down! I won't go with you!"
Fortunately, Su Luo is fat enough, otherwise her stomach would not be able to withstand his kicking.
Fortunately, he was still running a fever and was hungry, so he had no strength. He was flapping around like a headless fly, but it was useless.
Su Luo took the person to the clinic.
The clinic is a simple little living room with a counter and a couple running a business.
There were some small bamboo benches all around, with only a few children sitting there receiving intravenous drips, and middle-aged women sitting next to them taking care of them.
Su Luo said to the nurse, "Comrade, my son has a fever. Please come and take his temperature."
When Gu Xiaoer heard the words "my son", his eyelids twitched and he finally calmed down. He had just been carried down by his head, and now he felt dizzy and his limbs were weak, so he really couldn't resist anything.
"Here I am." The nurse came quickly, bringing a thermometer, shaking it and handing it to her: "Hold his armpit."
Su Luo nodded and put the thermometer under his armpit.
Gu Xiaoer stood there awkwardly, refusing to raise his arm. However, since he was covered in sweat, Su Luo forcefully stuffed the thermometer into his armpit.
He just felt extremely ashamed. He hadn't taken a shower for several days, and hadn't changed his clothes. His body was smelly and stinky, and he was covered in sweat. But just now, he was carried on Su Luo's back. She smelled so good, and her exposed arms were cold, completely different from him.
She looked like one of those rich, big-city people, while he was dirty and smelly.
He was about to resist, but Su Luo said expressionlessly: "If you dare to move, I will take off your pants and beat you right here."
Gu Xiaoer glared at her fiercely: "Why do you hit me? You are not my mother!"
Su Luo was not angry either: "Why should I care about you? If you don't obey, I will beat you!"
She squatted down again and moved closer: "Are these kids from your town? Do you know any of them? You don't want to be stripped of your pants and beaten in front of them, do you?"
Gu Xiaoer subconsciously glanced at the child next to him, pursed his lips, and surrendered in frustration.
Su Luo touched his head with satisfaction, then turned to the nurse and shouted, "Can you give me some cotton swabs and alcohol? My son has had a high fever for two days."
"It's on the table, get it yourself." The nurse was changing medicine for someone else in the small room inside and had no time to take care of her.
Su Luo went to the table and got some alcohol and cotton swabs, then squatted in front of Gu Xiaoer and told him, "Hold it tight, don't let the thermometer fall."
Gu Xiaoer turned his head away stubbornly and didn't look at her.
Su Luo dipped a cotton swab in alcohol and rubbed it on the aorta in his neck.
Gu Xiaoer was startled by the cold and shrank back: "What are you doing?!"
Su Luo held him down: "Don't move, you have a fever, I'll cool you down, rub some alcohol and you'll feel better."
