Chapter 35 Send food

Pei Zhan will go to work when his injury is almost healed.

Mrs. Pei was reluctant to give up, but she had no choice. This time, Pei Zhan could rest at home, and the official family was particularly merciful.

It's been snowing these past few days and it's extremely cold outside. Mrs. Pei made a thick cotton coat for Pei Zhan, which made it less cold after working.

Maybe it was because he rested for too long, or maybe Tao Zhen gave Pei Zhan a bad stomach. Pei Zhan had a stomachache when he came back in the evening. He had vomiting and diarrhea. I don't know if he had eaten something bad. He didn't stop until late at night. , the next day he looked disheveled and his steps were sluggish. Fortunately, the Pei family's medicine was good. He took it and managed to regain some energy.

Mrs. Pei couldn't bear to look at it and said worriedly: "What did you eat? You eat like this?"

Pei Zhan said weakly: "The food in the quarry is all fatty meat. I came down a little late. The lard solidified when it got cold. At that time, I felt uncomfortable eating it. I stopped eating it later, but I didn't expect it." , it’s still bad.”

Mrs. Pei felt very distressed.

Tao Zhen asked: "Does it cost money to eat in the quarry?"

"A meal costs five cents, deducted from wages."

Tao Zhen frowned. No wonder Pei Zhan got so little wages. Even though the food was expensive, he still had a bad stomach.

She asked, "Can I bring my own food?"

Pei Zhan lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Okay."

Tao Zhen: "It's better to bring it yourself."

Mrs. Pei put down the embroidery work in her hand and said, "You can take it with you. I'm afraid it will turn into ice cubes by the time you eat lunch."

Tao Zhen wasn't worried about this. She said, "Just make it at noon and send it there. It's not far anyway."

Mrs. Pei thought it was okay: "This and that would be great, it's just Ah Zhen's hard work."

Tao Zhen said: "I don't have anything to do, so I am idle."

She was telling the truth. The Pei family are very hard-working. They tidy up the room and wash the clothes themselves. Now she has become the most idle one. There is nothing to do except cooking every day. Delivering food to Pei Zhan is not a big deal. Big things, do something that involves taking a few steps.After Pei Zhan left, Tao Zhen was thinking that he had a stomachache last night. If he wanted to eat something soft and hot, he would make some porridge. He couldn't eat too thin while working, so Tao Zhen steamed some steamed buns. I cut some pickles, packed them in a lunch box, wrapped them in a thick cotton cloth to keep them warm, and went out.

The sky was still gray, and smoke was coming out of every house's chimney at this time. Tao Zhen had quick legs and quickly arrived at the quarry.

The same person was guarding the door last time. When he saw Tao Zhen, he stood up and said, "Who fell into the river this time?"

Tao Zhen "..."

"I'll find Pei Zhan and bring him food."

The man yelled: "I thought you were looking for Brother Hui."

The joke was so cold that Tao Zhen didn't know whether he should laugh or not. Fortunately, the man was a little self-aware and quickly said: "You can't go in inside. How about you give me the things and I will send them to him?"

Tao Zhen handed him the lunch box: "Sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, just call me Wang San. Brother Hui and I are very familiar with each other. Xuanxuan is our sister. You saved Xuanxuan. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me."

Wang San took the things and entered the door. Everyone was eating. When they saw him coming in, they were surprised: "Who sent this?"

The wages for workers in the quarry are not high, and many of them actually deliver meals. ,
Wang San glanced around and walked towards Li Hui. Li Hui thought someone had brought him food.

Wang San walked to him and smiled: "Tao Zhen gave it to me."

Li Hui was stunned, his ears were a little red, and just as he was about to reach out to pick it up, Wang San said again: "Where is Pei Zhan? Tao Zhen asked me to hand it over to Pei Zhan, why didn't he see him? This kid disappeared as soon as he ate."

Li Hui took his hand back, rubbed it on his pants awkwardly, and glared at Wang San fiercely.

Wang San was stared at for no reason, and he couldn't help but be suspicious: "Brother, why are you staring at me?"
