On the train to the provincial capital, Li Shankui looked out the window with a nervous expression.

It was his first trip and his first time on a train.

In the past, he only occasionally heard about trains from the radio, and then he saw the old-fashioned steam train in the open-air movies shown by the production team.

When he actually got on the train, Li Shankui found that the train was still quite comfortable, and he ran as fast as a thief.

Li Yi on the side couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at his father's appearance that he had never seen the world.

"Dad, what's going on with this train?"

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

Zhou Yang smiled and didn't say anything, it was almost more than two hundred kilometers from the city to the provincial capital, and the ticket price was two yuan per ticket.

Seriously, it's really not that expensive.

"Dad, it's more expensive, just send us to the provincial capital!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Hmmm! I don't know how long it will take! ”

"It's almost an hour in time!"

When buying the ticket, Li Yi asked the conductor that it takes about three and a half hours to get from the city to the provincial capital, and now it has been two hours of walking, and how can he 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 take a look at the county seat!" ”

"Dad, after all, the conditions in the county are still poor, and the level of the doctor is not good, let's check you in the big hospital in the provincial capital, and if you are sick, we will see you, if you are not sick, we will be relieved!"

"Hey, this trip, your mother and I have worked for nothing today!" Li Shankui sighed and said.

"Hehe, isn't there still me, your son will earn this money back in one day, don't take it to heart!" Li Yi comforted his father.

"Hmm!"

Subsequently, Li Shankui said again: "If my illness is not very good, don't tell your mother when you go back, she is timid, don't scare her!" ”

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

"Hmm!"

Then, Li Shankui fell silent!

Looking at his silent father, Li Yi's mood was also a little heavy.

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

You must know that in his previous life, his father suddenly became seriously ill three years later, and then died after a few months of hard work, and the disease progressed very quickly.

Although Li Yi is not a doctor, he also knows that his father is not suffering from an ordinary disease.

Although it is now three years ahead of schedule, Li Yi does not dare to guarantee that his father's illness must be under control.

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

Seriously, Li Yi was also worried that something not very good would suddenly be detected this time.

But he can't help it, he has to get it, and this may be his father's only hope to live.

.......

"Woo..."

With the sound of a long whistle, the train slowly stopped on the platform.

The conductor then opens the door and reminds the arriving passengers to get off the train.

Li Yi woke up his half-asleep father, then quickly got off the train and walked out of the train station with the rolling crowd.

Although the railway station in the provincial capital was also in tatters in Li Yi's eyes, it was lofty in the eyes of his father, and he even stood in front of the train station and stopped for a while after leaving the station.

Li Yi had already asked someone to inquire about the situation of the provincial hospital, and 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 more famous.

After some careful consideration, Li Yi decided to take his father to the affiliated hospital first.

The reason is relatively simple, you are your father's acute illness, and Chinese medicine does not have a good effect on this disease.

And the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively slow, so Li Yi can only find Western medicine at the moment.

As for the Chinese medicine hospital, let's wait until later!

But looking at the time, it's already half past three in the afternoon, and it's definitely too late now.

So Li Yi decided to find a guest house near the affiliated hospital first, and wait for his father to come 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 his father by bus.

Li Yi also took the bus of the provincial capital for the first time, so he really didn't expect that the current bus would charge by station, five cents for one stop, and charge for a few stops.

There are a total of 5 stations to the affiliated hospital, and one person is two cents and five cents.

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

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

After entering the door, a young girl in her twenties was in charge of receiving them.

"Two comrades, do you want accommodation?"

The little girl could see at a glance that this was a father and son, and Li Shankui was obviously a parent, so her eyes were looking at Li Shankui when she spoke.

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

Li Yi immediately said: "Yes comrade, we want to stay!" ”

"Comrade, please show your letter of introduction!"

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

After checking that there were no mistakes, the little girl took the two of them to check in.

There is a letter of introduction, and other procedures are all simplified, just pay the money.

Li Yi asked for a two-person room, 3 yuan a night.

This price is very reasonable in Li Yi's opinion, but it makes Li Shankui feel very distressed.

You know, in the county, three yuan can buy almost 20 catties of fine white noodles.

And now it's just one night and it's gone, which makes him feel sorry for him.

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

But this is a provincial capital, and they can only passively accept this kind of price.

After taking the keys and putting away the luggage, Li Yi left the guest house with his father, and then found a state-run hotel and walked in.

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

Since it was past noon, there were not many people in the whole 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!" ”

This alone can throw off those people under Liu Jingshan a few streets.

Those people in the county's state-run hotels will not greet you so politely, and even because they are regular employees, sometimes they have a very bad attitude towards ordinary people.

If you want to eat, you can eat, and if you don't eat, you don't beg for it, and there is no service attitude at all.

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

Bringing 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 asked for three taels of roasted wheat and ordered a cold dish...
