Chapter Ninety-Nine: Little Bean

The time goes back to the day after the Dawning 1966 machine tool exhibition.

Li Guocheng was busy all week in the days without Zhao Ting, mainly designing the main structure of the vacuum furnace, and was currently stuck on how to solve the problem of sealing.

Early on Sunday morning, Li Guocheng rode to Yuan Lao's residence.

Li Guocheng, under the leadership of Assistant Shen, passed the inspection and came to the house.

In addition to Yuan Lao, there was also an old man who was about the same age as Yuan Lao in the room, who was in good spirits, but there was this faint sadness in his eyes. A 5 or 6-year-old girl with a slightly pale face and a very delicate appearance was leaning on his side.

"Grandpa, I see you're here", Li Guocheng greeted the old man after greeting Yuan Lao.

Yuan Lao was very happy when he saw Li Guocheng.

"Xiao Li, this is my best friend, your name is Grandpa Song", Yuan Lao pointed to the old man next to him.

"Hello Grandpa Song", Li Guocheng greeted respectfully.

"Lao Yuan, this is your grandson-in-law? Okay, spirited, heroic, a good young man", Song Lao complimented.

If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something. He glanced at the little girl beside him and knew it in his heart. Li Guocheng knew that this day would eventually come.

Before treating an uncle, in order to avoid trouble, the unified caliber said that Zhang Lao cured. But from the first time he saw Yuan Lao, he knew that it was difficult to affect Yuan Lao's cognition.

Sure enough, without consulting myself, a patient came to the door today.

"Xiao Li, since the last treatment, my body feels a few years younger, my body is much lighter, and I finally have a good night's sleep these days."

"Come, grandpa, I'll check your pulse," he said, taking out a pulse pillow from his satchel and placing it on the table.

A few minutes later.

"Grandpa, there has been some improvement, but have you not rested on time in the past few days, and the effect is still lower than expected."

"It's good to be able to sleep and eat, and the conditions are much better than in the mountains. As long as you can do it, do more. The strong enemy looked around, and it was not time to rest", Yuan Lao did not complain, only high morale.

Li Guocheng understands the ideals of their generation very well, so he knows that exposing his medical skills will affect his research and development work, but doing what he can can is regarded as a tribute to them.

"Grandpa, if it's convenient for you, I'll give you acupuncture now."

"Xiao Li, how is your recovery? Don't be reluctant, if you don't recover, you can come back next week", Yuan Lao said with concern.

"Rest assured, it's fully recovered."

Several people entered the bedroom, and the nine needles of the corpse were once again displayed in front of everyone. Seeing that Song Lao and the little girl were surprised.

"Grandpa, is my brother dancing?"

The two old men laughed, the little girl looked puzzled, and Li Guocheng couldn't cry or laugh.

On the basis of last week, Li Guocheng continued to strengthen the meridians of the chest and improve the metabolism of the heart through internal stimulation.

Because it was the second time to perform the needle, Li Guocheng became more handy.

Half an hour later, the needle is closed.

Just like last time, Li Guocheng became weak again, and as soon as he was helped by Assistant Shen on the sofa, he saw a glass of water handed in front of him. When I looked up, I found that it was Aunt Liu. Li Guocheng was about to stand up, but was stopped by Aunt Liu.

"Aunt Liu, when did you arrive?" , Li Guocheng looked behind Aunt Liu, but he didn't see Zhao Ting, and he was a little disappointed.

"Arrived at the time of your treatment. Don't look for it, Zhao Ting can't come, this is the honey water she asked me to prepare for you, drink it while it's hot", Aunt Liu smiled and reminded this Li Guocheng, there is a feeling of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and at the same time, no one prepared a cup for the other three.

Holding the honey water, Li Guocheng blew the hot air in the cup bitterly, took a sip, and immediately sweetened his heart.

Because there were guests today, Li Guocheng did not agree with Aunt Liu's suggestion to go to the guest room to rest, but sat on the sofa and chatted with everyone.

"Old Song, how is it, open your eyes. I feel like I can run now," Yuan boasted.

"Don't, you need to rest more now", Li Guocheng took the opportunity to remind, still hoping that the old man would rest more.

"Xiao Li, the old man has a reluctant request", after seeing Li Guocheng's acupuncture and seeing the treatment effect of his old friend, he decided to give it a try.

"You say", Li Guocheng knew that the topic was coming.

Song Lao handed over his little granddaughter to Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu took her to the living room.

"Her nickname is Xiaodouzi, she is my only granddaughter, she suddenly had a fever half a year ago, we all thought it was a cold, and we didn't take it seriously. However, there is always an intermittent fever, and the fever lasts for a long time, and at the same time as the fever, blood spots will appear on the skin. It's a little better today, just take her to Lao Yuan to sit here."

Song Lao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to describe.

"Diagnosed anemia a month ago. I saw a lot of doctors, but my condition did not improve, but became more and more serious. Listening to Lao Yuan talk about his treatment effect, I want to try it, you can't help it", when the old man talked about his granddaughter, his waist seemed to have become bent a little.

Li Guocheng sighed in his heart, no, didn't leukemia only appear in the eighties and nineties, why did it exist now. No, it should be there now, but it was only discovered in the eighties and nineties.

The main causes of the disease are: genetics, infection, and exposure to radioactive materials. If it is contact with radioactive materials, it must be clear, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable.

"Old Song, do the rest of your family have the same symptoms?"

"Xiaodouzi has been a little sick recently, and her mother has also caught a cold, is there anything wrong with this?" , Song Lao replied suspiciously.

"Old Song, I need to go to the child's place to see", Li Guocheng was not sure.

"Okay", although Song Lao was puzzled, he didn't ask.

"Little Bean, we're going home, goodbye to Grandpa Yuan and Aunt Liu", Song Lao picked up the child dotingly.

Little Beanzi politely said goodbye to everyone.

"Grandpa, Aunt Liu, I'll go over and have a look first", Li Guocheng greeted the two before leaving.

"I'll go with you", Aunt Liu followed and walked out.

"Go ahead", Yuan Lao didn't say anything, his eyes were more relieved.

10 minutes later, in the same layout of the house, Xiaodouzi's bedroom.

"Little Bean, can you show your brother your favorite toy?"

Little Beanzi nodded and took out a small wooden box from under the bed. When she opened it, she took out a rag doll the size of an adult's palm, and there were still 5 or 6 galaha in the box, also called sheep bone crutches, and 3 small stone balls of different sizes.

"After getting sick, my mother didn't let me play", the little girl was a little unhappy, Aunt Liu squatted down and picked up the little girl.

"The doctor said to pay attention to hygiene and not to get infected," Song Lao explained.

Li Guocheng felt all the toys one by one, but when he picked up the last small stone ball, he suddenly felt a strong uneasiness, but it was still within the range of acceptance.

"Tell my brother when did you get this," Li Guocheng asked, putting the stone on the table.

"This little stone is the roundest, it is 6.1 Children's Day, I found it in the school's sand pit, and the other children didn't find it," he said, and Xiaodouzi's pale face seemed to have a little blood.

"Is there anything wrong with this stone?" Song Lao saw what he saw and hurriedly asked.

"Grandpa Song, for some reasons, my perception is a bit different from ordinary people, and I can perceive some things that ordinary people can't feel. For example, this small stone is very uncomfortable when you grasp it."

"Do you know what it is?" Song Lao's expression was very serious, and he asked eagerly.

"I don't know, but I recommend that someone handle it," Li Guocheng solemnly suggested.

"So, Xiaodouzi's illness has something to do with it," Song Lao said incredulously, pointing to the small stone.

"It's very likely", Li Guocheng didn't say it to death.
