Lu Fan was refining pills, while Taohua, worried about her son, had already come to Lu Fan's main house with Xiao Hu.
Seeing that Xiao Hu was ill, Zhao Rongrong quickly called Lu Changfu over to take a look. Lu Changfu was terrified at first glance.
"Taohua! This child might have acute pneumonia. I'll get you some fever-reducing medicine to control it first. You must send the child to the hospital immediately! Don't delay," Lu Changfu said urgently.
"Uncle! Lu Fan... Lu Fan said he went to get medicine," Taohua said quickly.
"Lu Fan? What does he know? Has he ever treated anyone? No, you must go to the hospital quickly. This child cannot be delayed," Lu Changfu said urgently.
"Yes! This child cannot be delayed. If it's delayed, Lu Fan can't take responsibility either! Taohua, don't listen to him, hurry and send the child to the hospital!" Zhao Rongrong also became anxious when she heard this. If Xiao Hu was delayed because of Lu Fan, they couldn't afford the responsibility. This was a major issue.
Taohua became even more flustered upon hearing this, and she picked up Xiao Hu, intending to leave.
"Dad! Mom! It's more than ten miles to the hospital in town! Is there any fast transport in our village? If you send her to the hospital, it will delay the child's best treatment time even further," Lu Fan said as he walked out of his room, holding a small pill in his hand. As he spoke, he walked up to Taohua and directly put the small pill into Xiao Hu's mouth.
"Lu Fan! This is a big deal, you can't mess around... What did you give Xiao Hu to eat?" Zhao Rongrong was about to stop him when she suddenly saw Lu Fan put a small pill into Xiao Hu's mouth and asked urgently.
"It's medicine for treating pediatric pneumonia. Let Xiao Hu lie down quietly for a while, and he should be fine soon," Lu Fan said quickly.
"You child, yesterday you gave me a small pill and said it was for rheumatism, and today you're giving that black pill to Xiao Hu, saying it's for pneumonia. Are you talking nonsense?! Let me tell you, Xiao Fan, don't delay Xiao Hu. This is not a small matter," Zhao Rongrong became anxious and yelled at Lu Fan.
She thought Lu Fan was trying to show off in front of Taohua.
"Xiao Fan! You can't pretend to know what you don't! The most important thing for a doctor is to be responsible for life. Do you understand?" Lu Changfu said anxiously from the kang.
"Dad! Mom! Please rest assured! Your son is not that unreliable," Lu Fan said with a smile, knowing that his parents were worried about Xiao Hu and even more about him.
"Mom! Try it now, does your finger still hurt?" Lu Fan suddenly said to Zhao Rongrong again.
"I... I... it does seem a bit better than before!" Zhao Rongrong then noticed that her finger really didn't feel the piercing pain anymore.
Before, every morning when she woke up and started cooking, her fingers would ache faintly when they touched cold water or dampness. But she didn't want to bother her son with such things. So, Zhao Rongrong endured it every day.
However, since she woke up this morning and finished cooking, she really hadn't felt any pain in her fingers.
"You can believe me now, right!" Lu Fan said triumphantly.
"Mom... I... I'm hungry..." Suddenly, Xiao Hu, who was in Taohua's arms, moved, blinked his big eyes, and said.
"Xiao Hu! Xiao Hu, be good! Mom will breastfeed you now!" Taohua saw that Xiao Hu seemed to have much more spirit and knew he was hungry. Without any further ado, she immediately lifted her clothes and began to breastfeed Xiao Hu.
However, she was indeed with her back to Lu Changfu and facing Lu Fan.
This caught Lu Fan off guard. Watching Xiao Hu eat... Alright! Lu Fan turned around and went back into his room.
"Taohua! You... you should at least cover yourself when others are around!" Zhao Rongrong said reproachfully from the side.
"Auntie, they aren't outsiders, what's there to cover? Besides, Xiao Hu is really hungry," Taohua said indifferently.
"What do you mean not outsiders? When did they stop being outsiders?" Zhao Rongrong was furious in her heart, but she was helpless. The child was indeed hungry, and she couldn't really stop the child from breastfeeding, could she?
Lu Changfu behind them was anxious, peeking left and right, but still couldn't see anything. He wanted to ask Taohua to turn around... but he didn't dare to say it.
"What are you so eager about over there?" Zhao Rongrong glared fiercely at Lu Changfu.
"Taohua! Let's go to the kitchen and talk! I have something I want to tell you," Zhao Rongrong pulled Taohua and led her to the kitchen.
Seeing his wife drag Taohua away, Lu Changfu smacked his lips. What a pity, he didn't see anything.
"Xiao Fan! Xiao Fan!" Lu Changfu called out to Lu Fan in the other room.
"Dad! What's wrong?" Lu Fan poked his head out of the room. Seeing that Taohua was not in the room, he then came out.
"Xiao Fan! Can you really treat illnesses? You can even diagnose acute pneumonia in children?" Lu Changfu said incredulously.
"Of course, it's true! The Dragon King's son knows how to swim. My dad is a village doctor, so naturally, I know how to treat illnesses. Hehe!" Lu Fan chuckled.
"Although you didn't graduate from university, your medical skills are like mine, and they are amazing! My small clinic has an heir now," Lu Changfu said happily.
"Of course. Please rest assured, Dad, it won't be long before I can cure your leg. We'll run the small clinic together!" Lu Fan said, clenching his fist.
"Mm! I believe you! My son is amazing! He takes after me!" Lu Changfu's face was filled with joy. This was the happiest day for him in the past six months.
"Taohua! Xiao Fan is not young anymore. If you have any suitable young girls, introduce one to Xiao Fan later," Zhao Rongrong said, pulling Taohua. She also deliberately emphasized the word "girl."
"Oh! Isn't that easy! Auntie, people say that a woman three years older is like a golden brick. Later, let Xiao Fan find someone three years older than him. She will definitely know how to cherish him. It will definitely be good for Lu Fan!" Taohua said, as if she hadn't understood the meaning behind Zhao Rongrong's words.
"Age doesn't matter, the most important thing is a decent girl who lives a proper life," Zhao Rongrong said again.
"What's so good about a big girl? If you can find someone like me, you become a father as soon as you enter the house, how good is that? Moreover, Xiao Hu is so well-behaved! So lovable! Where can you find such a good grandson?" Taohua immediately refused to listen and said directly.
"Alright! Taohua! Xiao Hu seems much better now, doesn't he? Why don't you go back?" Zhao Rongrong was so angry that she almost lost her temper. This little widow Taohua didn't understand what others were saying. So, she directly asked her to leave!
"Auntie! The child really seems to be better! His face isn't red anymore, and his body isn't feverish. Xiao Fan's medicine is too effective. No, I need to thank him." Taohua hugged Xiao Hu and was about to go find Lu Fan.
"Taohua! You're still breastfeeding!" Zhao Rongrong grabbed Taohua.
