Chapter 17 In the Newspaper (Seeking a Monthly Pass)(1/2)
"Don't worry, the operation was successful."
Hearing these words from the surgeon, Liu Qingshan's eyes became wet.
But he didn't dare to cry for fear that his grandfather would be excited after hearing this, so he could only hold back the tears of joy and bow deeply to the doctor.
"Thank you, thank you!"
The doctor patted him on the shoulder: "Comrade, if you take off the gauze tomorrow, the old man's vision should be restored to some extent, but it's best to stay in the hospital for three days of observation before going home. After all, it's a long way away and it's not easy to make the trip."
ah."
Then, he left some more medical instructions, such as not eating spicy food, paying attention to rest, not overusing your eyes... and not to fly.
Because when the plane takes off, it will cause the intraocular pressure to rise.
Liu Qingshan kept every one of them in mind, even this last one. Even if he wanted to fly, they wouldn't let him.
In this day and age, not just anyone can fly.
After the doctor left, Liu Shikui fumbled and stretched out his hand. Seeing this, Liu Qingshan quickly stretched out his hand.
Liu Shikui gently patted the back of his grandson's hand a few times and kept saying "Okay, okay!"
Seeing his grandfather's shoulders starting to tremble, Liu Qingshan quickly comforted him and said, "What the doctor just said, you must not get excited. Master, you are also a veteran soldier and you must obey orders."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
The old man was also amused by his grandson, and even made a joke, and then changed the subject: "Sanfeng'er, don't be idle these two days, buy some wedding stuff for your eldest sister."
After thinking about it, he added: "Don't be afraid of spending money!"
Liu Qingshan fully understood his grandfather's spirit and brought back a Chunlei radio that afternoon.
It is one and a half feet long and nearly one foot high. It can be used for both AC and DC.
The radio is considered a big item in the house. In Jiapigou, there is a small play box in the house of the village party secretary. It is like a treasure, and children are not allowed to touch it at all.
If one day I see the old party secretary beating my precious grandson, it goes without saying that he must be messing with the radio.
Although people in the city have gradually moved from the old three major items of bicycles, watches, and sewing machines that were popular in the 1970s to the new three major items of refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines in the 1980s.
But in rural areas, it is far from reaching this level.
If you can have one or two of the third big things, you will be considered a wealthy family.
There was a socket in the ward. Liu Qingshan happily plugged in the power and adjusted it. A crisp sound came from the radio: "Tick-tick, click-tick, the little speaker started broadcasting!"
I'm an old man, just tell me this?
Liu Shikui said cheerfully: "That's right, Sifeng'er will definitely love hearing it most."
In his mind, he imagined the little old man lying next to the radio, concentrating. Liu Qingshan also had a smile on his face. He had been out for several days and really missed his family...
The next day, a nurse came to remove the gauze.
There was plenty of sunshine outside, so Liu Qingshan quickly closed the curtains to prevent it from being too dazzling.
"Old man, would you like to open your eyes?"
After listening to the nurse's words, Liu Shikui's eyelids fluttered a few times, and then he slowly opened them. His originally white eyes became clear again.
Blinking, his face was filled with joy and excitement and he said: "Look at how handsome this girl is. She will definitely find a good husband in the future."
The nurse was delighted by what he said and left happily. It seemed like this was the first time a patient had complimented her on her beauty.
"Master, can you see me?"
Liu Qingshan suddenly jumped into his grandfather's sight.
"able!"
The old man nodded vigorously, then stretched out his rough hands and gently stroked his grandson's cheek, feeling filled with regret.
This kid Qingshan has really grown up.
How great would it be if Zijun was still here?
Seeing that the old man was getting excited again, Liu Qingshan quickly used his invincible magic weapon - Spring Thunder Radio.
"Master, look at what this is? Listen to it, the two of them played 'Returning Cups', haven't you been thinking about it all the time?"
Liu Qingshan turned on the radio as he spoke.
Listening to the voice coming from the radio, Liu Shikui nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's it!"
Seeing that the old man's attention was successfully attracted, Liu Qingshan continued: "Master, your eyes are better this time. Let's buy another TV soon. It will be more exciting to hear sounds and see people!"
"
Liu Shikui nodded vigorously: These days, I finally have some success.
In the following days, apart from taking care of his grandfather, Liu Qingshan took time to purchase some items.
Of course, thanks to the help of Wu Jianjun and Gangzi, we got a lot of tickets.
Otherwise, even if Liu Qingshan has money, he will not be able to buy what he wants.
But there was one thing that the two brothers couldn't do anything about: an imported dual-card tape recorder.
You can't buy this thing without a foreign exchange coupon.
Gangzi was also anxious: "Qingshan can sing and dance. He really should buy a tape recorder, bang tah tah, tang tah tah..."
"What are you doing? You have to jump outside. Don't collapse the floor."
Before Liu Qingshan could stop him, the big-eyed nurse Li Xuemei came in and shouted.
The eyes were big and the glare was so powerful that Gangzi immediately stopped.
Immediately afterwards, Thomas walked in, first hugged Liu Qingshan, and then greeted Liu Shikui.
He was also carrying a bag of fruit in his hand, and there seemed to be a few bottles of canned food and milk powder in it.
Liu Qingshan asked them to sit down and joked: "Mr. Thomas, instead of sending flowers, you will send fruits. Are you doing as the Romans do?"
Visiting patients at this time is not just fruit and canned food.
"Yes, Li told me so."
Thomas whispered to the little nurse next to him.
Liu Qingshan washed some fruit and distributed it to everyone. Li Xuemei was too embarrassed to eat it in front of her, so she put it in her pocket.
After chatting for a while, they returned to the original topic. Liu Qingshan explained to Gangzi: "This tape recorder is not for me. I am going to record more English tapes for my second sister to listen to. She is preparing to take the college entrance examination."
"Qingshan, your two sisters are so lucky to have a brother like you."
Gangzi also sighed. In the past few days, he had seen all the wedding supplies that Liu Qingshan bought for his eldest sister. Many girls in the city did not get this treatment when they got married.
Now I have to buy a tape recorder for my second sister, and it has to be dual-SIM, tsk tsk...
"By the way, Brother Gangzi, have you and Brother Jianjun found a teacher to learn Russian?"
Liu Qingshan followed and asked
Gangzi nodded: "There is a retired technician in the factory. He worked with the expert Lao Maozi when he was young, and he can speak Russian."
"Well then, hurry up and learn. In the future, our country will have more and more contacts with foreign countries. It is very important to master a foreign language."
Liu Qingshan responded with a smile.
But Gangzi curled his lips and said helplessly: "But people dislike us and refuse to teach us. They say that we are frivolous and not serious..."
Just as he was talking, he saw Wu Jianjun running in excitedly, holding a newly published newspaper in his hand.
"Let me see, let me see!"
Gangzi immediately stood up and took it, looked at it briefly, and his face suddenly collapsed: "Why didn't you write about me?"
With a squeak, Li Xuemei next to her couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You are the only ones who want to be in the newspaper. You are idle all day, not doing your job, and you want to learn some culture. Others will despise you."
This girl is really powerful. She kept pointing her fingers at everyone including Liu Qingshan.
While scolding, she grabbed the newspaper and read the headlines on the front page, and immediately became cheerful and smiling again.
"Look, there is Mr. Thomas here. You should learn from Comrade Liu Qingshan."
She clicked again: "Look at these people, they can speak foreign languages at such a young age, and they are also brave enough to rescue foreign guests, without any expectation of reward, and to bring glory to the country. They are all young people of this generation. Why is there such a big gap?"
Li Xuemei became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, but looking at the faces of the people around her, something felt more and more wrong.
Everyone was holding back their laughter.
Especially when she looked at the guy she disliked the most, her face turned red.
So he took a step in front of Liu Qingshan and shook the newspaper in his hand: "Look at the Comrade Liu Qingshan introduced in the newspaper. He can also speak foreign languages. He can save people. As for you, you know how to cheat and drink -
—By the way, your last name seems to be Liu, I heard they also call you Qingshan...ah!"
The girl finally realized something and suddenly covered her mouth. Her eyes widened and she stared at Liu Qingshan in shock.
It can't be... such a coincidence, right?
