Li Jianguo brought Youcai to Ergou's home. Ergou's father was a little surprised to see him.

Li Jianguo touched the back of Youcai's head, "This kid heard that Ergou's leg was broken, and he insisted on coming over to take a look."

Ergou's father nodded and invited him into the house.

Youcai slipped into the inner room and saw Ergou lying on the bed with two sweet potatoes on the bedside table. This was his lunch.

However, Ergou obviously had no appetite and lay motionless on the bed. If his eyes had not been open, Youcai would have thought he was dead.

After he came in, he did not disturb Ergou, but observed Ergou's daily life. After not seeing him for a week, Ergou had really lost a lot of weight, and the little fat he had gained back had gone back. Youcai jumped out and threw a tantrum at Li Jianguo, who had just sat down and hadn't spoken yet, "Dad! Ergou is so pitiful! Can you take him to the hospital?!"

Li Jianguo pretended to be angry and said, "You are kidding! How can you be so ignorant? Going to the hospital to treat an illness costs money. Your father's money is not blown by the wind."

"Dad, once Ergou's leg is cured, he will pay you back. He can earn a lot of money a month. That mink coat was bought with his money." Youcai shook Li Jianguo's arm.

Li Jianguo was annoyed by his noise, and Ergou's father advised, "The doctor said that his leg cannot be cured!"

He took out the diagnosis and said, "If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself! It's not that I'm cruel, it's the doctor who said it can't be cured!"

The second son actually snatched it away, looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed incurable.

When Li Jianguo was on the battlefield, one of his comrades had a leg injury. Most doctors would not rashly say that it cannot be cured, but would only suggest going to a large hospital to try.

What kind of doctor dares to make such a statement? This is destroying the child's life.

Youcai was throwing tantrums and Li Jianguo was helpless because of the child. "You want to cure Ergou, then you should raise your score by 20 points."

“Okay!” Youcai gritted his teeth and agreed.

Li Jianguo said to Ergou's father, "This kid is stubborn. I'll take Ergou to a big hospital when I go to the capital. Do you want to come with me?"

Ergou's father was stunned, obviously not expecting that he would interfere in his child's business just because he was acting like a spoiled brat.

Ergou's father was a little embarrassed. Ergou's stepmother pulled him back and said to Li Jianguo, "He has something else to do, so he won't go. You take Ergou with you. If he can really be cured, it will be a blessing for him."

Li Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they had no intention of stopping him.

Three days later, Li Jianguo set off with Zhang Xiuhua and Ergou.

Zhang Xiuhua went to buy the tickets and carried the two people's luggage to their seats. Li Jianguo went to work and told them to call him if they had any problems.

Ergou said nothing, and he wasn't very happy when he learned that he had to go to the capital for medical treatment.

However, when Zhang Xiuhua asked him questions, he would still answer.

Zhang Xiuhua still remembers that when he picked up the child, Ergou asked if his leg could be cured in a big city.

Zhang Xiuhua really couldn't guarantee it, "Even if there is a glimmer of hope, you shouldn't give up."

Ergou followed.

It was almost lunchtime, and Zhang Xiuhua made steamed buns at home. The two of them had a hearty meal with fried dried fish and pickles.

Because of the hot weather, Zhang Xiuhua did not dare to bring too much food. Li Jianguo brought her dinner, which was hot soup and hot rice. These foods were very expensive on the train.

Even though Li Jianguo was an employee, the food was not cheap at all. But when you are out, you can't treat yourself badly, so Zhang Xiuhua and Ergou ate with gusto.

After more than twenty hours, the train finally arrived in the capital.

Li Jianguo asked for leave, carried Ergou on his back, and took Zhang Xiuhua to the big hospital. It was only six o'clock when they got off the car, and the hospital was not open yet, so they waited at the door.

When the doctor was at work, they went in to register, specifically for a specialist, so as not to make a wasted trip.

Hospitals are very small nowadays, but they are crowded. They waited for two hours, and Zhang Xiuhua was so hungry that she was growling, but she didn't dare to ask Li Jianguo to buy food because it would be their turn soon.

After waiting for another ten minutes, they finally showed up.

The patient was brought in, and the doctor asked them to take an X-ray first. This machine was introduced only two years ago. It was even reported in the newspapers at that time. The price of taking an X-ray was quite high.

You can’t get the report immediately after the shooting, you have to wait a night.

Li Jianguo carried Ergou and took Zhang Xiuhua to find a guesthouse first, put down their luggage, and took them to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

The three of them ordered three stir-fried dishes and three bowls of rice.

Ergou rarely spoke, "There are too many dishes. One portion is enough."

Li Jianguo laughed, "This is the capital, the portions are very small. Three servings are not enough."

"I didn't expect there are such advanced equipment here." Zhang Xiuhua always thought that CT was introduced in the 1990s, but she didn't expect it to have existed in the 1980s.

"This is the best hospital in the capital. An appointment with a specialist in other hospitals is only 10 yuan, but this one is 20. It's double. Most people really can't afford to see a doctor." Li Jianguo joked, "It would be great if our children could become doctors in the future. They would have a place to get treated."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Even if the child studies medicine, he may not be able to cure your disease. These hospitals are divided into many departments. Look at the many departments, such as orthopedics, gynecology, internal medicine, surgery, otolaryngology... There are so many categories."

"That's true!"

As they were talking, the waiter signaled that the food was ready. This state-owned restaurant did not have a serving service, so Li Jianguo went to serve the dishes.

Ergou's eyes widened when he saw the amount of food. Zhang Xiuhua hadn't seen his lively side for a long time, so she chuckled, "The food here is quite good. If you go to the south, the plates are even smaller."

"Ah! Why?" Ergou asked curiously.

"They eat relatively little, and they want to try more dishes. They want to eat in a variety of ways. We in the north eat large amounts of food because it's cold. If you stir-fry two dishes, the first will be cold by the time the second one is done. If you reheat it, the taste will be much different." Zhang Xiuhua explained to him.

Ergou suddenly realized.

After dinner, Li Jianguo carried Ergou back to the guesthouse. Fearing that he would be bored, he bought him a newspaper. "Your Aunt Zhang and I are going to do something. You stay in the room alone, is that okay?"

Er Gou nodded, "No problem!"

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo went straight to the Housing Management Office after leaving the guesthouse.

Li Jianguo asked Sister Xun, "Has the house been sold?"

Sister Xun saw him and clapped her hands. "You came at an unfortunate time. The house has been sold. They are in a hurry to go abroad. If you want to buy it, I have a courtyard house here, which is even bigger. It's 400 square meters, with two courtyards, and only costs 36,000. It's 4,000 cheaper than that one."

When Li Jianguo heard the price, his scalp exploded. The total price was so much higher?!

Zhang Xiuhua pulled his sleeve, meaning that they could talk. She had so much money on hand. She made a lot of money from selling quilts and popsicles in the summer. Add the share from raising chickens, and the total was more than 40,000.

Li Jianguo didn't expect that she had so much money, but all this money was earned by her. After being surprised, he said to Sister Xun, "Then let's take a look?!"
