"Of course, but I still have to ask Dr. Zhou!" Li Jinfeng said.
Zhou Jing is Zhang Chaosheng's attending physician. If Li Jinfeng wants to take him away, she must get her consent.
"Then I'll wait for you here!" said Zhang Chaosheng.
Li Jinfeng went to the doctor's office and talked to Zhou Jing about taking Zhang Chaosheng out for about a day and a half. Zhou Jing agreed without saying a word.
When Li Jinfeng was about to leave, Zhou Jing stopped her and said, "Jinfeng, thank you so much for last time! My brother is in Nanling, and his monthly supply of food is less than 15 kilograms, and it's all coarse grains that are hard to digest. A man who works every day, with so little food, how can he be full?"
Every time I sent a letter or telegram to my mother, he was complaining about being hungry. The last time I sent all that food, he said he finally had a full meal! That Jinfeng... My brother asked me if I could send some more food. If you think exchanging money and notes isn't worth it, can you trade them for local specialties? They're by the sea, so there's a lot of seafood!"
Zhou Jing was actually quite embarrassed to say this.
After all, in this era, no matter how good the tickets and money are, they are not as valuable as the white rice and fine noodles in your hands.
But he was her own brother after all. She would skip a meal or two herself, rather than let her brother who was far away go hungry.
Li Jinfeng knew the situation in Nanling.
Although it is just a small fishing village now, it will undergo earth-shaking changes in ten or twenty years.
By the 1980s and 1990s, it would become the first choice for most people to start a business.
But this is not the 1980s or 1990s after all, and people working in construction there still have a hard life.
Li Jinfeng thought about it and nodded in agreement. "Okay, but Sister Zhou, I have limited food, so I may not be able to exchange much with your brother!"
Li Jinfeng had food, but in this era of material scarcity and no one having surplus food, she couldn't appear too generous.
She must not let others think that she has a lot of food. If she gets into trouble because of this, she will be the one who suffers.
"It's okay, just take whatever you can get! Jinfeng, how about this, I'll give you my brother's address, and I'll give my brother your address, and then you two can keep in touch in the future. We won't care how much food you send?" Zhou Jing asked.
In fact, Zhou Jing didn't want to put too much pressure on Li Jinfeng.
Even if it is only exchanged for one or two kilograms of food at a time, it is a good thing for my younger brother.
"Okay!" Li Jinfeng nodded.
Single-line transactions save time and are safe!
"Thank you, thank you!" Zhou Jing was very excited.
She didn't trust anyone with this kind of thing, but she trusted Li Jinfeng.
"Sister Zhou, don't say that. If you want to say thank you, it should be me. You helped my uncle so much!" Li Jinfeng said.
"How can it be the same? I'm a doctor, saving lives is my duty! Besides, you haven't missed a cent of the medical expenses, why shouldn't I save your uncle?"
Although she said so, Li Jinfeng knew how much convenience Zhou Jing brought to her and how much hope she brought to her uncle.
"Sister Zhou, if everything is fine, I'll leave first!" Li Jinfeng said.
She was afraid that her uncle would get anxious waiting. After all, he and Zhang Xiulan hadn't seen each other for so many years. Every minute and every second that followed would be filled with both anticipation and anxiety for him!
"Go ahead. If you have time tonight, come to my house for dinner. The old lady misses you so much!"
