Chapter 138 Follow-up visit of tuberculosis patient
No. 15 Beimencang Hutong.
The sound of cart wheels rolling on the ground came from the entrance of the alley. Pan Ye, who was sitting in the house, stood up immediately after hearing it.
"Yeah, it must be Lin Sanqi. I'll go take a look."
Seeing his daughter fly out of the house like a little swallow, Pan Zhengquan felt a little sad, as if he saw that his daughter's heart had flown away, and he felt like his little cabbage had been eaten by a pig.
Pan Ye flew out of the house and flew to the gate of the yard, then carefully stuck his head out to take a look. Sure enough, he saw the familiar figure walking from the end of the alley, pulling the familiar cart in his hand.
Pan Ye's eyes lit up for a moment, then he chuckled and ran back into the house.
When the rustling sound appeared at the gate of the courtyard, Pan Ye pretended to go out, and then encountered it by chance, and asked in surprise:
"Hey, Lin Sanqi, long time no see, why are you here?"
When Lin Sanqi saw Pan Ye, it was as if he saw Mao Xiaotong again. He had no resistance to the girl who looked exactly like his aesthetic standards.
Although he knew in his heart that he shouldn't get too close to Pan Ye, if he lost his golden finger one day or was arrested as a spy, it would affect Pan Ye's future and life.
But Lin Sanqi still couldn't help but lust for her body, ah, he wanted to get close to her.
"Haha, Comrade Pan Ye, you are going out, then I am here at a bad time, this..."
Pan Ye chuckled: "I was going to go out, but now I'm not going out. Doctor Lin is here, so naturally I have to entertain him."
Lin Sanqi also smiled innocently, "Come on, give me a hand, the steps in your yard are really high."
As soon as Pan Ye saw the cart, she knew that Lin Sanqi must have brought her a lot of things, and she felt very happy.
She knew that Lin Sanqi was on a business trip. Although they seldom met, they usually communicated through letters. Lin Sanqi even sent her a letter from Qinghai, which was very romantic.
Many people in the courtyard saw Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye carrying a small cart together, just like a husband and wife following suit, and they all smiled knowingly.
"Xiao Yezi, who is this?..."
"Aunt Li, this is Doctor Lin who treats my father."
"Oh, it's a doctor, able to come to my house for treatment. Xiao Yezi, you are so honored..."
"Grandma Sun, Doctor Lin is here to serve the people. Don't let your imagination run wild."
"What am I imagining? Xiao Yezi, why don't you tell me?"
“Hahaha~~”
Everyone in the yard chuckled. That's how things are in a slum; nothing can be hidden from the neighbors.
Lin Sanqi was quite thick-skinned, and when he heard the neighbors' teasing, he took out a bag of white cheese blocks from his backpack as if they were familiar with each other.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Sanqi. I live in the Gege Mansion in Daqudeng Hutong. I work at the Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital. I'm not a migrant worker, so please take care of me. Come, try this. I brought this from the prairie. It's made from milk and tastes great."
In fact, authentic cheese blocks are not sweet. They were originally eaten as a meal by plateau herders (it is said that herders cannot eat meat every day).
It tastes sour and most people can't accept it.
But who is Lin Sanqi? He had plenty of sugar, so he asked local herdsmen to mix sugar and honey into milk. The cheese blocks made from it tasted sour and sweet, were nutritious, and could be eaten as a snack.
The herdsmen were not short of milk. Lin Sanqi gave them some supplies and helped them make hundreds of kilograms of cheese blocks to take away.
This piece of cheese was nothing in 2013, but in 1959, it was very precious. It was definitely the best weapon for entertaining guests, giving gifts, and winning people's hearts.
Sure enough, when the women in the yard saw the cheese blocks, their eyes widened.
"This, this is so embarrassing, this is a good thing."
The capital is close to Inner Mongolia, and many people know about the dairy products from the prairie, so they know how precious the things Lin Sanqi brings out are.
"What's the big deal? You're Pan Ye's neighbors, which means you're my neighbors. Come, try some. I'll give you two pieces."
Lin Sanqi didn't take it seriously. He casually opened the paper package and stuffed a couple of pieces of cheese into it.
Now, the hearts of the people in No. 15 Beimentang Hutong were quickly won over by Lin Sanqi, and they poured out compliments as if they were free.
Pan Ye felt a little distressed watching from the side, thinking that this guy was really a spendthrift.
But she also felt a little happy in her heart, as if she subconsciously felt that Lin Sanqi did everything for her, and the two of them seemed to be in a relationship now?
(Lin Sanqi: I'm a little greedy for your body...)
By the time Lin Sanqi walked into the Pan family's house, he had already spread out three pounds of cheese. If Pan Ye hadn't pulled it away, it would probably have been more than ten pounds.
Although the common people were polite in their words, they were not slow at all in their actions. Some of them even reached into the paper bag to grab the food.
As soon as Lin Sanqi entered the room, Pan Zhengquan and Ye Lanzhi both stood up and greeted him politely:
"Doctor Lin, you're here. Come and sit down."
There was a hint of flattery in the tone.
There was no other way. Lin Sanqi was not yet the son-in-law of the Pan family, so they naturally had to be polite. Of course, the most important thing was that Lin Sanqi wanted to save their lives.
Lin Sanqi certainly wouldn't act like a big shot, so he also greeted humbly:
"Uncle Pan, Aunt Ye, long time no see. I came here to see how effective Uncle Pan's anti-tuberculosis treatment is and for a follow-up consultation. Hey, aren't the two little guys, Pan Ren and Pan Cen, here?"
Pan Ren quietly stuck his head out from the inner room: "Brother-in-law, we are here!"
The word "brother-in-law" made Lin Sanqi's heart blossom, Pan Ye's face flushed with shame, and Pan Zhengquan was furious:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your eldest sister is still an innocent girl. How can others hear what she is saying?"
Lin Sanqi thought that the old man was quite conservative. To put it nicely, he was traditional, but to put it bluntly, he was feudal.
After being reprimanded, Pan Ren and Pan Cen were about to retract their necks in anger, but Lin Sanqi waved to them:
"Come, come, come here. Brother Lin has some local specialties from the plateau for you."
"Wow, Brother Lin, you're the best."
Lin Sanqi pulled back the tarpaulin, revealing the cloth bags inside.
"No, this bag is cheese cubes, they are sweet and delicious; this bag is yak jerky, the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes; this is barley cake, the favorite of plateau herders."
Lin Sanqi handed the small bags to the two kids, and then handed the large bag to Pan Ye:
"Comrade Pan Ye, this is prepared for you alone. Go back and eat it slowly, haha."
Pan Ye's face turned even redder, and he glanced at his parents, fearing that he would be scolded.
At this time, Pan Zhengquan was stunned, thinking that this was not a gift at all, it was clearly a wholesale transaction, weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms in total.
Lin Sanqi was not finished yet, thinking that he suffered from lack of money in 2013, which led to his girlfriend breaking up with him.
Now in 1959, we have money and food, and I'm not allowed to show off? I'm throwing money at people to death?
"Aunt Ye, take it quickly. This is a lamb leg, this is a piece of beef tenderloin, and this is the Tibetan fragrant pig's head. These are good things. You can eat them slowly after marinating them."
Ye Lanzhi looked at the fresh meat on the ground and stuttered:
"Lin, Doctor Lin, are you going to give all this meat to our family? It's inappropriate, it's too precious, we can't accept it..."
"Hey, Aunt Ye, this meat is a good thing in the old city, but it's everywhere in the Qinghai grasslands. I didn't spend any money, and the herdsmen insisted on giving it to me. You can keep it. It's hot now, so you have to deal with it quickly."
Seeing the meat, Pan Ren and Pan Cen clapped their hands excitedly, and even Pan Ye swallowed his saliva.
If it weren't for Lin Sanqi's previous financial support, the Pan family would probably have run out of food, otherwise they wouldn't have had to sell off their property.
Pan Zhengquan knew that Lin Sanqi was taking care of their family, and he wanted to refuse, but his family was so poor, and he had a wife and children to support, so he couldn't open his mouth no matter what. He could only blame himself:
"Looking at the moon, I laugh at myself, but the bright moon laughs at my incompetence. Doctor Lin, I am ashamed."
Lin Sanqi didn't care:
"Uncle Pan, what's there to be ashamed of? There's a song that goes like this: Life is like the waves on the sea, sometimes up and sometimes down, good luck and bad luck, but we have to work hard~~~"
The Pan family members were completely confused: "Hey, is there such a song? I've never heard of it."
Lin Sanqi knew he had let the cat out of the bag again and quickly explained:
"This is Hu Jianmin's song. It's normal that you haven't heard it before. Haha, Uncle Pan, come here. I'll listen to your heartbeat. How are you recovering now?"
Speaking of seeing a doctor, Pan Zhengquan becomes excited:
"Great, great, Doctor Lin, the medicine you gave me is truly a miracle cure. I feel much better now. The cough is almost gone, and the fatigue is gone."
Lin Sanqi nodded, took out his stethoscope and listened carefully again, and was surprised to find that Pan Zhengquan's recovery was surprisingly fast, and the noise was almost inaudible.
It seems that the anti-tuberculosis drugs of 2013 were as devastating to the human body in 1959 as an atomic bomb.
"Uncle Pan, it seems the medication is very effective, but you've only been taking it for a little over a month, so you still need to continue treatment. So, I'll reduce the original four medications to two, and you'll have to continue taking them for a few more months."
Pan Ye's eyes sparkled beside him: "Lin Sanqi, can my father's illness be cured?"
Lin Sanqi pretended to be unhappy: "Why, you don't believe me? Don't worry, it can be cured 100%."
Pan Ye was afraid that Lin Sanqi would be angry, so he quickly pushed Lin Sanqi's shoulders a few times, a bit like acting coquettishly, and a bit like an apology.
Lin Sanqi then chuckled:
"Okay, let's go to a restaurant for lunch. Hongxinglou's dumplings are said to be excellent. Let's go try them and bring Pan Ren and Pan Cen with us."
Pan Ren stuck his head out again at this time:
"Sister...Brother Lin, can we go to Dehezhai in Houhai for some ice cream? I heard their almond tofu is really delicious, it's both refreshing and thirst-quenching."
Lin Sanqi thought so too. It was still quite hot at noon in late August. Eating some iced food would definitely be refreshing.
"Okay, let's go get some ice cream."
Pan Zhengquan and Ye Lanzhi were too embarrassed to face anyone: "Doctor Lin, please don't be offended by my poor upbringing."
Lin Sanqi was very surprised: "It's fine, why are you so surprised?"
