Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 137 Father’s Illness (Please subscribe!)
When we came out of the state-owned hotel, it was already eleven o'clock!

Looking at Liu Jingshan who was so grateful for his kindness, both Tang Xue and Li Shankui felt that what happened today was too magical.

They just had a hearty meal in a state-owned restaurant. They ate at least seven or eight kilograms of good beef and mutton alone, as well as a lot of vegetables, vermicelli, tofu and so on.

If you have to pay for such a meal in a hurry, it will cost at least five or six yuan, or even more.

But following Li Yi, not only did he not spend any money, but the director of the hotel had to happily see him off when he left.

"Son, do we really not need to spend money?" Li Shankui asked in surprise.

"Didn't you see it? What does it cost?" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Isn't this a free meal? Isn't it a bit unethical of us!" Li Shankui said.

However, Li Yi smiled and said: "Dad, do you think the state-owned hotel has suffered a loss?"

"Yeah! It must be a loss, that's several kilograms of meat!" Li Shankui nodded.

Li Yi turned to look at Tang Xue and asked again: "Daughter-in-law, do you also feel that the hotel has suffered a loss?"

However, Tang Xue shook her head and said, "I think they deserve it!"

Li Shankui looked at his daughter-in-law and asked, "Why don't you lose money?"

"Dad, was the mutton-boiled meat we ate just now delicious?" Tang Xue asked with a smile.

"No need to ask, of course it's delicious. I've never eaten such delicious beef and mutton!" Li Shankui said truthfully.

"That's enough. With this way of eating, Director Liu's current difficulties will definitely be overcome. Once the leaders are happy, they may be rewarded. In comparison, this meal is nothing. Here!" Tang Xue said.

Li Shankui thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, then we can feel safe eating this meal!"

However, Li Yi smiled and said: "That's not all. You have also tasted the taste of this hot-boiled pork. As expected, state-owned restaurants will serve this delicacy as a new dish in a few days. Yes. With the addition of this new type of cuisine, their sales will definitely increase dramatically.”

"If Liu Jingshan is a little more greedy and comes up with that kind of special barbecue, I can guarantee that the performance of the state-owned restaurant may double this year."

"Are there so many rich people in our county?" Li Shankui asked in surprise.

"Haha, there have always been rich people, but sometimes everyone doesn't want to show it!" Li Yi said lightly.

"Don't show your wealth in vain!" Tang Xue said.

"Ok!"

In fact, Li Yi originally wanted to make Korean barbecue by himself. He believed that with the advantage of foresight, as long as he had a certain amount of funds, he would definitely be able to make this kind of delicacy.

In a few years at most, it can become a restaurant chain enterprise like Haidilao.

But think about it, it's only the 80s, and it will still take a few years before the general environment is completely liberalized. The real spring of the catering industry was in the 90s. Li Yi has no time to wait for this decade.

So I can only take advantage of Liu Jingshan!
I believe that with the blessing of these two kinds of delicacies, his small state-owned restaurant will skyrocket, which can be regarded as repaying the favor he took care of during this time.

The big red mule cart headed west along the state-owned hotel. After walking for about 10 minutes, we finally saw the huge sign of the county hospital.

He parked the mule cart in the backyard of the hospital where mule carts are parked, unloaded the big red mule, and tied it under a big poplar tree.

Afterwards, Li Yi gave it some grass, and then took his father and his wife to the front clinic.

"Xiao Yi, we really need to go in and see a doctor, why don't we forget about it?"

Standing at the door of the hospital, Li Shankui was actually a little scared.

Li Yi smiled and said, "I'm here now, so what's the point?"

"I'm not sick"

"If you're not sick, you keep coughing every day. Besides, if you're not sick, just treat it as a physical examination. I hope you're fine!" Li Yi said.

He knew that his father died three years later. Although he did not go for a check-up at that time, from the description given by his second sister and his father's habit of smoking, Li Yi concluded that it was probably lung cancer.

Otherwise, the condition of ordinary diseases will not worsen so quickly.Therefore, after settling things at home, Li Yi planned to take him for a good look.

If he couldn't find out in the county seat, he would take him to the city, to the provincial capital, or even to the capital.

All in all, he couldn't let him suffer at such a young age in this life.
Li Shankui knew that he couldn't defeat his son, so he could only sigh and follow Li Yi in.

At this time, the hospital is still continuing its previous policy, which does not require registration. Payment will only be made if medicines are prescribed or IV drips are prescribed.

I took my dad to the internal medicine clinic and knocked on the door!
"Come in!"

Pushing open the door of the consulting room, Li Yi saw an old doctor in his 60s sitting inside, and next to him was a young man in his twenties, who was reading a book.

The old doctor pointed to a small bench opposite the desk and said, "That's the patient, sit down!"

Li Shankui looked at Li Yi, and then sat down on the small bench with a look of helplessness.

"Comrade, what's wrong with you?"

Li Shankui opened his mouth and said, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yi interrupted: "Doctor, my dad often coughs unconsciously. He was fine before, but the coughing has become more and more frequent recently, so I am worried that there is something wrong with his lungs!"

The old doctor looked at Li Shankui's slightly deformed fingers and yellowed teeth, and immediately asked: "Does your father smoke often?"

"Well, basically the smoke never leaves my body!"

The old doctor nodded and said, "I know!"

Then he took out his stethoscope and began to diagnose.

After a basic examination, the old doctor frowned and said, "Comrade, let me ask you, do you usually suffer from chest pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and frequent coughing up phlegm?"

Li Shankui thought for a moment and said, "I have chest tightness, shortness of breath, and phlegm cough, but it doesn't hurt!"

"Have you ever coughed up blood?"

"Blood? No. No."

The old doctor then looked at Li Yi, and then said: "Your father's lungs are indeed not in good condition, there are a lot of murmurs, and it is initially judged that there are lesions, so I suggest you take him to a large hospital in the provincial capital for further examination if possible! "

Li Yi asked hurriedly: "What further examination is it? Is it a chest CT?"

"Do you still know about CT?"

"Ok!"

The old doctor immediately said: "It is said that the CT machine in the big hospital in the provincial capital has just been introduced. If you can, try to make one. Your father's disease may be a bit difficult!"

Li Shankui was a little panicked now and asked hurriedly: "Doctor, tell me, what disease do I have?"

The old doctor immediately said: "Our conditions are limited, and my level is also limited. I can't make a diagnosis, but you better not smoke that cigarette in the future!"

Li Shankui said hurriedly: "What is the disease? Why can't it be diagnosed?"

Li Yi actually already had the answer in his heart, and immediately said: "Dad, listen to the doctor, I will take you to a big hospital in two days to have a look!"

"This"

Li Yi then said to the old doctor: "Thank you, I will take my father to the provincial capital as soon as possible!"

"Well, you don't have to worry too much. Your father's lung function is okay, so it shouldn't be too serious!" the old doctor said.

"I hope so!"

Afterwards, Li Yi took his father and Tang Xue out.
