Rebirth: My 80s

Ding Dong!

Ding Dong!

This is a private house with a small courtyard located on a street in Midori-ku, Yokohama City, not far from Tokyo Institute of Technology.

As the doorbell rang, soon there was movement behind the milky white painted courtyard gate.

click!

squeak-

The gate was opened to the inside, revealing the face of a woman in her forties.

He looks like a servant.

When Li Jiankun first met Seiji Tsutsumi, Sakurai Kawana, a bank employee who was sent by Old Sun to serve as an interpreter, bowed and greeted him:

"Hello, we would like to visit Professor Tanaka."

"Oh, Professor," said the servant, "he is always at school during the day. You should go there to find him."

"I see," Sakurai Kawana said with a regretful tone, "Today is the weekend, and we thought he was at home. If that's the case, we can visit Mrs. Tanaka."

The servant glanced at her and looked at the three tall men standing behind her:

"What on earth is going on with you guys?"

"It's a very important thing."

Maid: "But it probably won't work if you look for the wife."

Sakurai Kawana: “Why?”

The servant sighed, widened the gap in the gate and made way.

Two minutes later.

Li Jiankun saw a silver-haired old lady with a good temperament in the living room on the first floor of a house. She was sitting on a wooden rocking chair with a dazed look on her face. Her expression did not change much when she saw a stranger visiting.

Li Jiankun finally understood why the servants said that it would be useless for them to contact Mrs. Tanaka.

This old lady suffers from Alzheimer's disease.

"Is this what Tanaka Hayato wants?"

Li Jiankun stared at the old woman in the rocking chair and thought.

From the many small details in the house's layout, it can be seen that the Tanaka couple have a good relationship, and Tanaka Hayato dotes on his wife, who must have been quite beautiful when she was young.

So of course I don’t want her to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, as she might not even recognize herself in the end.

"If this is the request, then... it's all over."

Tanaka Hayato was right, Li Jiankun couldn't do it.

Alzheimer's disease, also known as dementia, is an irreversible degenerative disease of the central nervous system.

The so-called terminal illness that threatens one's life.

Not to mention the 1980s, even in later generations, the medical community is still helpless.

'wrong. '

But in a moment, Li Jiankun realized that this might not be the case.

He can't do it, but Tokyo Yinghua can?

If you want to cure Alzheimer's disease, the best medical resources on this planet are useless. I believe that the knowledgeable Hayato Tanaka still has this simple medical knowledge.

Li Jiankun had to bend down and whisper in Sakurai Kawana's ear for a while.

The latter then said to the servant:

"Auntie, we understand that Professor Tanaka has always had a wish. Do you know about this?"

The servant shook his head without hesitation, indicating that he did not know about it, or perhaps he was unwilling to discuss his employer's secrets.

Li Jiankun stuffed a stack of Japanese yen into the maid's hand without leaving any trace. She was startled and jumped aside in a hurry.

"..."

This is very embarrassing.

Li Jiankun felt a headache. He thought that if he could find Tanaka Hayato's family, he would be able to find out his inner desires. However, who would have thought that the person who should know Tanaka Hayato best in the world actually had Alzheimer's disease.

The servants' ideological awareness is still so high...

"If you have nothing else to do," the servant said, "please make yourselves at home. I will take my wife to the mahjong pavilion shortly."

"Queguan?"

"They all say playing mahjong can help with dementia. The professor asked me to take my wife to the nearest mahjong parlor every day to play. It really works. Although my wife is slow at playing mahjong and we have to pay someone to play with her, she now knows how to play and hasn't forgotten it."

The servant smiled:

"Sometimes, my wife can think of other things while at the card table and become very talkative."

Mahjong in our great country has such a therapeutic effect?!

Li Jiankun's eyes were bright: "We just happen to be free, why don't we let Mrs. Tanaka play mahjong to save the money of hiring someone."

Sakurai Kawana translated his words.

The servant then realized that he was a foreigner: "Isn't this too much trouble?"

"No trouble, no trouble."

At Li Jiankun's signal, Sakurai Kawanama stepped forward to support Mrs. Tanaka, while the Fugui brothers went to open the door while the other called the driver to drive the car to the gate of the yard.

But there is a problem: there is one missing.

The Fugui brothers don't know how to play mahjong. They have been practicing martial arts in a martial arts team since they were young. The discipline is strict and they have never touched mahjong.

Sakurai Kawana does, and according to her, mahjong is extremely popular in Japan and is loved by young people. There are many prize-winning competitions, and many young people choose it as a career.

Li Jiankun had to call Ran Zi over from Ginza.

……

……

Mahjong halls are called "queguan" in Japanese.

The decoration style of this mahjong parlor is obviously Chinese. There is the word "Shanghai" on the billboard outside the door. There are dozens of mahjong tables inside, all of which are occupied.

It's really lively.

People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang generally don't play mahjong, they are busy making money. In Li Jiankun's memory, the only mahjong scene that can be more spectacular than this is what he saw during a trip to Sichuan and Chongqing.

Card tables were set up on the sidewalk, stretching for two miles.

They asked for a private room, and that was the only room left.

Pop, pop, pop!

At the card table, Li Jiankun, Ran Zi and Sakurai Kawana teamed up to feed cards to Mrs. Tanaka.

The old lady was very happy.

His expression was no longer so dull, and he even dared to laugh at the poor skills of the three people.

Li Jiankun was secretly delighted. Seeing that the time was almost right, he was ready to give it a try. He nudged Sakurai Kawana and asked her to do the translation.

At this time, Mrs. Tanaka suddenly said, "I understand you speaking English."

Be nice!

Li Jiankun suddenly thought of his old mother who was far away in the capital, and thought that this had to be arranged. As long as the time was well controlled, it would be of great benefit to the elderly.

"Mrs. Tanaka, I have met Professor Tanaka twice. During our conversations, I discovered that he had a deep-seated wish. I asked him many times, but Professor Tanaka did not know our strength and thought we could not do it, so he refused to tell me.

"That's why I took the liberty of coming to your house and bothering you."

"His wish," Mrs. Tanaka paused holding the cards and sighed, "that's the only one."

Li Jiankun asked: "What?"

"Recover his father's bones."

"Ok?"

As Mrs. Tanaka explained, a sense of hostility suddenly rose from Li Jiankun's chest. The hand holding the cards became extremely strong, causing his knuckles to turn white, as if he was going to crush the tiles.

squeak--

The moment Mrs. Tanaka finished speaking, Li Jiankun also pushed away the soft-backed chair and stood up:
