"It's okay. If this hospital doesn't work, let's go to other hospitals. There are so many hospitals in the provincial capital. This is just the beginning." Liu Hongchang comforted the two frustrated people.
"What else are you watching? I have no money, so I won't watch anymore."
Liu Yunchang gave up on himself and said that the two of them took 300 yuan to the provincial capital, spent a little, and were robbed of more than 200 yuan.
This money cannot be said to be all of Liu Yunchang's, but it is basically half of Liu Hongchang's net worth.
"Money is nothing. If you work and make money, you just have to spend it. I brought the money here. You don't think that I am just here to take you two back, right?"
Liu Hongchang and Wu Xiaoying must not be allowed to give up treatment. They are not too old, just over thirty, and have not yet lost hope of having children.
The important thing is that if two people can't make a baby, they will definitely miss Liu Hongchang's child.
"You should see a doctor and leave the rest to me." Liu Hongchang took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the two people.
After giving two people 200 yuan, including the salary he just received, Liu Hongchang still had less than 200 yuan in his hand.
It feels like the money is not much. I can only eat a dozen or twenty meals like this today.
But going out to restaurants in this era is not common for ordinary people.
This amount of money is actually enough for a family of three or four to live for half a year.
"What do you want to do if I leave it to you?"
Liu Yunchang reached out and took the money, and his brother Liu Yunchang would not be polite.
"Don't I have to find a way to help you get revenge?"
The next day, Liu Hongchang accompanied Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying to the Second Hospital.
Let two people wait by themselves to register, queue up for examination, and queue up for consultation.
I started wandering around the hospital. In this era, the economy of northern cities was underdeveloped.
The scale of the hospital is actually not that big. It is now one of the largest hospitals in the province.
In fact, it is not as big as a county hospital in the future.
The key point for Liu Hongchang is to linger near the toll office.
Occasionally, for various reasons, I will take out my notes to dry.
When the maximum face value is ten yuan, a small amount of two hundred yuan is actually quite a lot of money.
If Liu Hongchang took the initiative to look for the robbers, he would definitely not be able to find them and would have no clue.
So I can only lure the snake out of the hole and wait for these people to come and find me.
These robbers are targeting foreigners who go to the provincial capital to seek medical treatment.
It will definitely be necessary to come to the hospital to follow up and look for the target.
You can try to have an unexpected encounter.
Liu Hongchang hoped that these people would be bolder and come to rob him quickly.
After staying in the hospital for half a day, Liu Hongchang chose to go out for the remaining half day.
Now that I'm here, I still need to get familiar with the provincial capital and go shopping.
The first thing is to go to the busiest and busiest department store.
There is a big difference between the provincial capital and Ningzhou. The department store is two floors higher than the city and has a much larger area. The key is that the products inside are more complete.
Various brands of tape recorders, televisions, washing machines, refrigerators and other trendy items are all in stock.
It can be said that what Liu Hongchang wants can be purchased in a department store with one click.
If you have tickets and money, you can buy everything in one go.
Liu Hongchang can't buy these things now, but since he made a trip, he must spend some money.
Even if he just wants to understand the market situation, Liu Hongchang has no habit of not buying or selling.
"Comrade, how did you sell this skirt?"
Unable to buy what he wanted, Liu Hongchang chose to buy Yang Maixiang a long dress.
It has been some time since the two started dating, but Liu Hongchang has not bought any gifts for Yang Maixiang.
I came to the provincial capital for a trip and entrusted Yang Maixiang to take care of Wang Cuilan.
I should buy something for Yang Maixiang to express my feelings and reasons.
"Which one do you want?"
"This one is printed in sky blue."
The clothes in the provincial capital still look much better than those in the city. The fabrics and workmanship may not be much different from those in the city.
But the gap in fabric printing and dyeing technology is huge.
The same color, dark and bright in printing and dyeing, are completely two different perceptions.
In this era, ordinary people's clothes are white, blue, gray and black.
If a girl has a beautiful long skirt, it will be enough to stand out, and it will look good enough to set it off.
Beautiful printed and dyed fabrics are basically not circulated in the city.
So when Liu Hongchang finally got a nice pink printed bed sheet.
He Wenyuan couldn't help it at first, stole the sheets and made himself a long skirt.
"Twenty-five yuan, four feet of cloth." The largest source of ready-made clothing in the city,
"There is no cloth ticket."
"Then you can add one dollar."
"I'll tell you the size, and you can give me one according to the size."
Twenty-six yuan is not too expensive and is within Liu Hongchang's acceptance range.
Buying these things in the north costs more than 20 yuan.
Even if there are vendors who bring goods from the south to buy them, a long skirt will cost more than 20 yuan.
I wanted to bring some clothes for Wang Cuilan, but they were clothes for middle-aged and elderly people in the provincial capital.
There is no difference from the fabrics in the city, so there is no need to buy them in the provincial capital.
It can be cheaper if you go back to the market and buy it.
After you don’t have much money, you have to learn how to live.
The largest source of ready-made garments in Ningzhou City is actually the Yuejin Garment Factory next to the Second Canteen.
That is, He Wenhui's unit mainly supplies the ready-made garment market in Ningzhou.
Many of the female workers there can actually make clothes, and Gao Junling is the leader among them.
Buying the fabric yourself and asking these people to do it is the most economical way.
After leaving the department store, Liu Hongchang found another state-owned canteen and had dinner.
This also counts as understanding the level of your peers.
The craftsmanship of state-owned canteens in the province is definitely better than those in the city, but not many of them are good.
This place is clearly a food desert.
There is certainly great potential for developing catering.
But Liu Hongchang only wanted to be a gangster in the Second Canteen and did not want to do catering by himself in the future.
After doing it for too long, I still feel that it is not fresh.
I still like to do things I have never done before.
After waiting outside until dark, Liu Hongchang wandered back to the guest house to rest.
This time I didn’t take a rickshaw, so I walked back slowly and leisurely.
I want to give those criminals some opportunities.
Just walking all the way, no one paid any attention to Liu Hongchang.
"Brother, sister-in-law, what did the doctors from the Second Hospital say today?"
After returning to the guest house, Liu Hongchang went to find Liu Yunchang first.
"We have to wait until tomorrow's test results come out to know what the situation is."
"Okay, let's wait for the results tomorrow."
In fact, infertility cases like those of Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying, whose tests showed no problems, are considered difficult diseases in this era.
In this case, medicine must be cautious when making a diagnosis. It is normal to delay for some time.
In the next few days, Liu Hongchang was still the same as the first day, spending the morning at the hospital, visiting the provincial capital in the afternoon, and then wandering back to the guest house after dark.
The difference between the next few days and the first day was that Liu Hongchang did not continue to follow Liu Yunchang.
Liu Hongchang went to major hospitals in several provinces in turn.
One is afraid of going to a hospital without encountering the group of criminals who are following him.
The other is to help Liu Yunchang make a front stop and help inquire about the hospital's equipment and the doctor's medical skills.
Because he had never met the robbers, Liu Hongchang postponed his return to the guest house.
But even if Liu Hongchang had changed to return to the guest house at ninety o'clock.
I still didn't encounter any robberies, but I saw a lot of gang fights and unemployed youths who stayed up late at night.
"Bai Lai, the hospitals in this provincial capital are no different from those in our city."
This is already Liu Yunchang's tenth day in the provincial capital.
It took Liu Hongchang a week to arrive in the provincial capital.
"It's a good thing that no problem can be found. Maybe there is nothing wrong with you two. You just have a little luck." Liu Hongchang could only say words of relief.
During this period of time, Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying visited five or six hospitals. They were all high-end hospitals in the provincial capital with a certain level of obstetrics. The two of them went to them all.
But still no hospital has given a clear result.
All they can do is try to treat them.
Liu Yunchang was quite discouraged, but Liu Hongchang still thought it was worth it.
It’s not that there is no gain, the wrong options are eliminated.
There are only a few causes that can cause infertility.
It was determined that there was nothing wrong with the body organs of the two people.
The rest is a matter of regulating internal functions, which is what Chinese medicine is good at.
If Western medicine discovers some organ problems, the conditions for some operations are not mature and cannot be performed.
Many drugs have not yet been developed and cannot be cured, which is really difficult.
"We've seen everything we need to see, and we've spent almost all our money. Let's go back."
Two hundred yuan is really not much for medical treatment.
Not to mention that two people can do all the tests they can.
In addition to food and accommodation during this period, after a week, there was nothing left of the 200 yuan Liu Hongchang gave to the two people.
When we went back, the train ticket for three people, even if we took a hard seat, cost more than 20 yuan.
You can never spend all your money.
"Okay, tomorrow you go to the hospital to get some medicine and take it home to try. I'll go buy the train tickets and we'll go back at what time we buy them."
The hospital just prescribed some medicine to nourish yin and nourish yang, and the two of them took it without any problems.
Since I'm here, I have to bring something back to give the two of them some comfort.
The two people’s letters of introduction and certificates were lost, and it was also troublesome to issue certificates.
Liu Hongchang chose to go directly to the scalpers to buy tickets. There was no need to bother with things that could be solved by spending an extra two yuan.
"Okay, let's go to bed early. We have to take the bus tomorrow, which is quite tiring."
"You guys rest, I'll go out for a walk again."
"You still want to go out, how about I accompany you." After these days, Liu Yunchang's condition became a little better, he was not so frightened, and he finally had the idea of trying to go out at night.
"No, you've been working hard these days. I'll go out by myself and be back soon."
We need to catch that group of people first. Even if tonight is the last chance, we still have to give it a try.
This time I went out, but there was still no result.
Even if the street lights were broken and Liu Hongchang walked wherever he went, he never encountered that group of people.
However, he met two gangsters who were teasing a female worker on the night shift, and Liu Hongchang gave them a beating to vent his frustration.
Maybe it was because Liu Hongchang had too little money, and those people had just fucked Liu Yunchang, so they had no shortage of money at the moment, more than 100 yuan, which was not attractive enough to these people.
We can only wait until Liu Hongchang makes money and has the opportunity to return to the provincial capital before trying to arrest this group of people.
Otherwise, we will have to wait until the next year to crack down hard and these will be caught.
It will still cause harm to many people in the past two years.
"Mom, we are back."
The three of them came back together without any troubles.
In fact, the transportation to the provincial capital is quite convenient, it is only one train ride away.
It had been a long time since he had seen Wang Cuilan, and Liu Hongchang was still thinking about her.
Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying were also thinking about Wang Cuilan. The three of them entered the courtyard and started shouting one after another.
"You guys are finally back." Hearing the shouts of the three people, Wang Cuilan hurriedly came out and said, "Why didn't you give me any news in advance before you came back? How did your trip to the provincial capital turn out? There is good news.
?"
Wang Cuilan was also impatient. Before anyone could sit down in the room, she started asking questions urgently.
"Let's go into the house and talk slowly." Liu Hongchang said.
Looking at Wang Cuilan's appearance, it was right for the few of them to stay in the provincial capital for a few more days.
At least the bruises on Liu Yunchang's face are no longer visible.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you guys came back just in time. The food will be ready soon. You can eat in a while." Yang Maixiang came out of the kitchen with flour on her hands and an apron on her body. She was obviously cooking.
.
The three of them came back around six o'clock in the afternoon, which was almost time for dinner.
"You three chat, I'll help Mai Xiang cook together."
After putting the luggage back in the house, Liu Hongchang was going to go to the kitchen to find Yang Maixiang.
How should the provincial capital explain to Wang Cuilan these days? The three of them had already reconciled their confessions on the way back.
There is no need for Liu Hongchang to supervise. In line with the principle of reporting good things and not bad things, I report to Wang Cuilan that of course everything goes well.
"How have you been in the provincial capital these days? Did things go smoothly?" Yang Maixiang asked.
Two people cook, with Yang Maixiang as the main cook and Liu Hongchang helping out.
The two of us are going to eat noodles for dinner today. Yang Maixiang is rolling out the noodles, which is already halfway done.
This is Wang Cuilan's favorite food. It can be seen that Yang Maixiang is taking care of Wang Cuilan with all her heart.
"It's going well, and half of the goal has been achieved. I'll explain it to you in detail later. How are you doing these days? Are you getting used to living with my mother? How are you getting along these days?"
Liu Hongchang asked, this question is actually quite critical.
Liu Hongchang still hopes that Wang Cuilan will live with him in the future.
"What's wrong with you? We're not strangers. Auntie and I get along very well. Auntie is happier than usual when she's with me. I've definitely lived up to your trust!"
"Well, you performed well. My efforts were not wasted, and the gift I prepared for you was not in vain."
"What have you prepared for me?" Yang Maixiang's eyes lit up. She really didn't expect Liu Hongchang to do this.
"I'll show it to you later. I'll tell you what surprises there are."
