Chapter 380 Old Man Hu is sick
Tao Zhen bought a lot of vegetables when he came back, and Pei Heng stayed in the kitchen like a little follower.

Tao Zhen found it funny, but considering that he had been eating the dark dishes made by Mrs. Pei these days, it was really hard for him.

Tao Zhen rubbed his head: "Why do I think you haven't grown taller?"

Pei Heng felt disappointed and made a gesture, which probably meant: "I'm hungry."

But Tao Zhen ignored it, pretending not to understand, and said doubtfully: "Xuanxuan is taller than you. This is true. You are still one year older than others. What if you are not as tall as others in the future?"

Foodie Heng finally began to face this problem, with a troubled look on his face. He ate more every day, but he just didn't grow taller. What could he do?
Tao Zhen said: "Well, how about you drink a glass of milk every day from tomorrow on? You and Xuanxuan each have a glass of milk, and we will have a good competition at the end of the year to see who can grow taller?"

Pei Heng nodded, and he couldn't help but swallow when he thought of milk.

But when I think about my own height, I feel a little dissatisfied. What's wrong with him being short now?He will definitely be taller than Li Xuan in the future.

Tao Zhen baked scallion pancakes and made a pot of broth, and the family ate around the table.

After the meal, Pei Zhan took out his identity certificate. Mrs. Pei took out the handkerchief and wiped her hands, took the paper, looked at it again and again, her eyes turned red: "Okay, that's great... "

She was very happy: "Your father and eldest brother have spirits in heaven to protect us."

Pei Zhan nodded. Pei Heng was young and didn't react at all when he heard about his father and elder brother. He was still minding his own business. Tao Zhen was a little envious of his big heart.

"Keep it well." Mrs. Pei said.

Pei Zhan put away his things, and Tao Zhen asked Mrs. Pei: "Mom, are there any rumors in the village again? The villagers looked at me a little strange today."

Mrs. Pei got angry when she mentioned this, and she said, "It's not because of Mrs. Zhao."

Tao Zhen was confused and didn't know what this matter had to do with Zhao.

Mrs. Pei told the reason.

Because Tao Zhen went to Fucheng to give lectures and Pei Zhan was away, Mrs. Zhao didn't like the Pei family. Her previous marriage proposal was rejected, and then Wang Dabao's leg was broken. She held a grudge and felt that it was all done by the Pei family.

But Wang Zheng was a coward and didn't dare to do anything. Zhao could only live with his words and said that Pei Zhan and Li Hui died outside. Her sweetheart from outside ran away. As for who this sweetheart was, it was of course Yan Mingxiu who had been wandering around the village for two or three days during the New Year.

Many people in the village believed what Mrs. Zhao said about having a nose and eyes. Mrs. Pei said, "I'm really too lazy to argue with people like her."

Mrs. Pei couldn't curse with her, so she didn't say anything, so that the rumor became more and more intense. Until Li Hui came back, Mrs. Zhao became even more proud. She insisted that the two of them left together, and now Li Hui and Pei Zhan are back. He must be dead. Mrs. Pei had already been thinking about it. After hearing what she said, she felt even more worried. She even had a few quarrels with Mrs. Zhao over this.

When Mrs. Pei said this, she couldn't hide the smile on her lips: "It's better this time. I'll see what else she says."

Tao Zhen didn't expect it to be like this, and was a little bit dumbfounded.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, very urgent, and it sounded like there was something urgent.

Pei Zhan went to open the door, and Tao Zhen followed him out. He saw Hu Zhan standing at the door with an anxious look on his face.

"Pei Zhan, do you have medical skills? My father is sick. Could you please help me?"

Pei Zhan did not hesitate and took the medicine box as soon as he entered. Mrs. Pei also came out. When she heard that old man Hu was ill, she was a little worried. Tao Zhen said, "Mom, you and Xiao Heng go to bed first, and I'll go take a look."

After she got dressed, she followed Pei Zhan to the Hu's house. The Hu's house was already in a mess, and Mrs. Hu's crying could be faintly heard in the house.Hu Zhan brought Pei Zhan and the others in. Although Mrs. Hu and Hu Ling looked bad, they didn't say anything.

Old Man Hu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his lips were blue, and he didn't know whether to live or die.

Pei Zhan stepped forward to check, took out a silver needle to inject him, and asked for water-based medicine for Old Man Hu to take. Old Man Hu's complexion improved a lot.

Pei Zhan asked casually: "How did you find out?"

Old Man Hu doesn't look like he just got sick.

Hu Zhan blamed himself: "It's all my fault. In the afternoon, the old woman came over to scold me. My father was angry and kept complaining about chest pain. I thought about boiling some hot water for him to drink, but there was no firewood at home, so I went out to collect firewood. Wait. I boiled the hot water and came back, and this is what happened to my dad."

Mrs. Hu became anxious when she heard this: "Hu Zhan, what do you mean? You are the only one in this family who cares about your father, aren't you?"

Hu Zhan said: "I don't mean that."

Mrs. Hu wanted to say something else, but Hu Ling said: "That's enough, stop arguing, it's annoying!"

The room fell into silence. Pei Zhan didn't have time to watch the Hu family bickering. He came only for Hu Zhan's sake.

Hu Zhan also knew that now was not the time to quarrel, so he asked with concern: "How is my father?"

Pei Zhan said: "We have been rescued, but we found it too late."

Old Man Hu woke up, but he could only lie on the bed. He couldn't speak clearly and drooled inadvertently. Mrs. Hu didn't have the patience to take care of him and left him directly to Hu Zhan. Hu Zhan wanted to take care of him during the day. When he went to work in the quarry, Old Man Hu could only starve for a day, and no one even gave him a sip of water. When he was lying on the bed, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He didn't know why things turned out like this.

After Hu Zhan got off work, he still had to cook for himself. Now Mrs. Hu completely ignored them. She and Hu Ling usually ate, as if Hu Zhan and Old Man Hu were outsiders.

Hu Zhan changed old man Hu's dirty bedding. Old man Hu looked at Hu Zhan angrily and resentfully. Hu Zhan held the bowl and finished his meal before he began to feed old man Hu slowly. If he shut up and refused to eat, Hu Zhan would hold his mouth and force him to eat.

Hu Zhan said: "Dad, the death anniversary of Xiufang and the child is coming soon."

Old Man Hu was stunned, and the color drained from his face.

Hu Zhan looked at him and smiled: "It doesn't matter, you don't care about them anyway. In your eyes, they probably don't count. Also, we are all cheap lives. How can we compare with your wife, youngest son and As for my daughter, you are a family."

Old Man Hu knew he was wrong, and most of his anger dissipated, and he looked at Hu Zhan guiltily.

Hu Zhan smiled and said, "You don't have to look at me like that. I don't need your guilt. Xiufang and her children don't want to see you like this either. It's so disgusting."

Old Man Hu's lips were trembling, but it was a pity that he couldn't say a word now.

Hu Zhan put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, wiped Old Man Hu's mouth carefully with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, as my son I will take care of you in your old age and let you live well so that you can see What will happen to your daughter, madam, and your favorite youngest son in the end!"

Old Man Hu whined, but Hu Zhan had already blown out the lamp.

Now the days are getting longer and the nights are getting shorter.
