Chapter 158 Taking Father to the Provincial Capital (Please subscribe!)
On the train to the provincial capital, Li Shankui looked out the window nervously.

This is his first time traveling far away, and also his first time taking a train.

In the past, he only heard about such a vehicle from the radio and saw the old-fashioned steam train in the outdoor movie played by the production team.

When he actually got on the train, Li Shankui found that the train was quite comfortable and it ran very fast.

Li Yi on the side looked at his father's unseen appearance and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Dad, how is this train?"

"Okay, it's faster than a carriage and more comfortable than a carriage, but it's a bit expensive!" Li Shankui said truthfully.

Zhou Yang smiled and said nothing. It was almost 200 kilometers from the city to the provincial capital, and the fare was two yuan per ticket.

To be honest, the ticket price is really not expensive.

"Dad, be more expensive, as long as you can send us to the provincial capital!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Hmm! I don't know how long it will take to arrive!"

"Almost another hour!"

When buying the ticket, Li Yi asked the conductor. It takes almost three and a half hours to get from the city to the provincial capital. It has already been walked for two hours. How can we arrive in another hour and a half.

Li Shankui nodded, then looked at Li Yi and said: "Actually, we don't have to go to the provincial capital, just have a look in the county town!"

"Dad, after all, the conditions in the county are still worse, and the quality of the doctors is not good either. Go to the big hospital in the provincial capital and we will check you carefully. If you are sick, we will see you. If you are not sick, we will feel relieved, right?"

"Hey, after this trip, your mother and I have worked in vain for a whole year!" Li Shankui said with a sigh.

"Haha, don't you still have me? Your son can earn this little money in one day, so don't take it to heart!" Li Yi comforted his father.

"Ok!"

Then, Li Shankui said again: "If my illness is not good, don't tell your mother when you go back. She is timid, so don't scare her!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Dad, I think you should be fine, don't worry!"

"Ok!"

Afterwards, Li Shankui fell silent!

Looking at his silent father, Li Yi felt a little heavy.

The main purpose of their trip to the provincial capital this time was to treat their father. Not only was his father Li Shankui nervous, but Li Yi himself was also quite stressed.

You must know that in the previous life, my father suddenly became seriously ill three years later, and then passed away after suffering for a few months. His illness progressed very quickly.

Although Li Yi is not a doctor, he knows that his father's disease is not an ordinary disease.

Although it is three years ahead of schedule, Li Yi cannot guarantee that his father's illness will be controllable.

Moreover, the doctor at the county hospital also said that my father's lung function was indeed not very good and further examination was needed.

To be honest, Li Yi was also worried that he would suddenly find out something bad this time.

But he had no choice but to come. This might be his father's only hope for survival.

"Woooo."

With the long whistle, the train slowly stopped on the platform.

Subsequently, the conductor on the train opened the door and reminded arriving passengers to get off.

Li Yi woke up his half-asleep father, then quickly got off the car and followed the crowds of people out of the train station.

Although the train station in the provincial capital seemed to be shabby in Li Yi's eyes, in his father's eyes it was tall and majestic. He even stood in front of the train station for a long time after leaving the station.

Li Yi had asked someone to inquire about the situation of the provincial hospital before he came. At present, in addition to the Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Medical University, there is also the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine which is relatively famous.

After careful consideration, Li Yi decided to take his father to the affiliated hospital for a visit.The reason is relatively simple. Your father is suffering from an emergency, and traditional Chinese medicine does not have a very good effect on this disease.

And Chinese medicine takes effect slowly, so Li Yi can only seek Western medicine now.

As for the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, let’s wait until later!
But looking at the time, it was already 03:30 in the afternoon. It was definitely too late to get there now.

So Li Yi decided to stay in a guest house near the affiliated hospital first, and then take his father there early tomorrow morning.

The straight-line distance from the train station to the affiliated hospital is not far, but since there are no taxis, Li Yi can only take the bus with his father.

It was also the first time for Li Yi to take a bus in a provincial capital, so he really didn't expect that the current bus charges are based on the station, which is [-] cents per stop, and the price is charged according to the number of stops.

There are 5 stops to the affiliated hospital, and it costs [-] cents per person.

To be honest, compared to the current wages of ordinary people, Li Yi feels that the price is a bit expensive.

After getting off the bus, Li Yi asked passers-by and took his father to a state-owned guest house not far away.

After entering, a young girl in her 20s was in charge of receiving them.

"Comrades, do you want to stay?"

The little girl could tell at a glance that this was a father and son, and Li Shankui was obviously the parent, so she looked at Li Shankui when she spoke.

However, Li Shankui was a little nervous. He opened his mouth twice, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Li Yi immediately said: "Yes comrade, we want accommodation!"

"Comrade, please show me your letter of introduction!"

Li Yi immediately took out the letters of introduction they issued from the brigade and the commune, and then handed them to the little girl opposite.

After checking that everything was correct, the little girl took the two of them to check in.

With the letter of introduction, all other procedures are simple, just pay the money.

Li Yi asked for a room for two people, which cost 3 yuan a night.

This price, which Li Yi thought was very reasonable, made Li Shankui extremely distressed.

You know, in the county, three yuan can almost buy 20 kilograms of good white flour.

But now it was gone after just one night, how could he not feel distressed.

Li Yi just smiled and didn't say much. His father really didn't have much knowledge. In his simple understanding, the cost of staying in a hotel for three yuan a night was indeed very expensive.

But this is a provincial capital, and with this price, they can only passively accept it.

After taking the keys and putting away the luggage, Li Yi took his father out of the guest house, then found a state-owned hotel and walked in.

Compared with the state-owned hotels in Qingshan County, the hotels in the provincial capital not only have a much larger business area, but also seem to have different business models.

Since it was already past lunch time, there were not many people in the entire restaurant, only two tables.

Seeing Li Yi and Li Shankui walking in, a middle-aged woman came over and asked: "Comrade, if you want to eat, please go to the front and order!"

With this alone, he can outshine those under Liu Jingshan.

Those people at the state-owned hotels in the county will not greet you so politely. Even because they are formal employees, sometimes their attitude towards ordinary people is very bad.

If you want to eat, you can eat. If you don't want to eat, I won't ask you. There is no service attitude at all.

In comparison, the employees of these state-owned hotels in the province have done much better in this regard.

Taking his father to a table and sitting down, Li Yi immediately went to the front desk to order.

Since there were only two people, Li Yi simply ordered three taels of Shaomai and another cold dish.
