A doctor who travels through two eras

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 this guy 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 was being 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 one 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 he ran into 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 a girl who met his aesthetic standards completely.

Although he knew in his heart that he should not 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 lusting after her body, ah, he wanted to get closer to her.

"Haha, Comrade Pan Ye, you are going out, so I came at a really bad time, this..."

Pan Ye smiled and said, "I was going to go out, but now I am not going out. Since Doctor Lin is here, I will naturally 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 each other, and they all smiled knowingly.

"Xiao Yezi, who is this?..."

"Aunt Li, this is Doctor Lin who treated my father."

"Oh, it's a doctor. You are so honored to be able to come to my house to see patients..."

"Grandma Sun, Dr. Lin is here to serve the people, don't let your imagination run wild."

"What am I thinking about? 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 cubes 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, and I work at the Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital. I am not a drifter, so please take care of me in the future. Come, have a taste, this is milk cubes I brought back from the prairie, it tastes good."

In fact, authentic cheese blocks are not sweet. They were originally eaten as a meal by highland herdsmen (it is said that herdsmen 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 cubes made became sour and sweet in taste, 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 several hundred kilograms of cheese to take away.

This piece of cheese is nothing in 2023, but in 1959, it was very precious. It was definitely the most powerful weapon for entertaining guests, giving gifts, and winning people's hearts.

Sure enough, when the women in the yard saw the cheese, 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 are Comrade Pan Ye's neighbors, which means you are my neighbors. Come and try it. I'll give you two pieces."

Lin Sanqi didn't take it seriously. He casually opened the paper package and stuffed two pieces of cheese into it.

Now, the people in No. 15 Beimentang Hutong were quickly won over by Lin Sanqi, and they kept pouring out compliments and praises 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 it seemed that the two of them were in a relationship now?
(Lin Sanqi: I am somewhat 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 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 things.

As soon as Lin Sanqi entered the room, Pan Zhengquan and Ye Lanzhi both stood up and greeted him politely: "Doctor Lin, you are here, please 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 would not act like a superior, 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 to have a follow-up consultation. Hey, aren't the two little guys Pan Ren and Pan Cen here?"

Pan Ren quietly poked his head out from the inner room: "Brother-in-law, we are here!"

The word "brother-in-law" made Lin Sanqi's heart burst into joy, Pan Ye's face turned red 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 dismay, but Lin Sanqi waved at them:

"Come, come, come here. Brother Lin has some local specialties from the plateau for you."

"Wow, Brother Lin, you are the best."

Lin Sanqi pulled back the rain sheet, 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 is; this is highland 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:
"No, Comrade Pan Ye, this is prepared for you alone. Go back and eat it slowly, hehe."

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 already 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. He thought that he suffered from lack of money in 2023, which led to his girlfriend breaking up with him.

Now in 1959, we have money and food, and I am not allowed to show off? Throw money at people and kill them?
"Aunt Ye, take it quickly. This is a lamb leg, this is a piece of beef tenderloin, and this is the Tibetan fragrant pig 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? This is inappropriate, it's too precious, we can't accept it..."

"Hey, Aunt Ye, this meat is a good thing in Sijiu City, but it's everywhere in Qinghai Prairie. I didn't spend any money, but the herdsmen insisted on giving it to me. You can keep it. It's too hot to process it quickly."

When they saw 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 to sell off their property.

Pan Zhengquan knew that it was Lin Sanqi who 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 say anything. He could only blame himself:
"Looking at the moon, I laugh at myself alone, but the bright moon laughs at my incompetence. Doctor Lin, I am ashamed."

Lin Sanqi didn't care:

"Uncle Pan, there's nothing 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 you have to work hard~~~"

The Pan family members didn't understand at all: "Hey, is there such a song? I haven't heard of it."

Lin Sanqi knew that he had let the cat out of the bag again, and quickly explained:
"This is Hu Jianmin's song. You haven't heard it before, so it's normal. 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:
"Okay, okay, Dr. Lin, the medicine you gave me is really a miracle drug. 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 2023 are as devastating to the human body as the atomic bombs of 1959.

"Uncle Pan, it seems that the medicine is very effective, but you have only been taking it for more than a month, so you still have to continue the treatment. So, I will reduce the original four kinds of medicine to two, and you have to continue taking it for a few more months."

Pan Ye's eyes sparkled beside him: "Lin Sanqi, can my father's disease 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 smiled:
"Okay, let's go to a restaurant for lunch. Hongxinglou's dumplings are said to be the best. Let's go and try them. 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 to eat ice cream? I heard that their almond tofu is very delicious, and it can cool you down and quench your thirst."

Lin Sanqi thought so too. It was still quite hot at noon in late August. It would be great to eat some ice food.
"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 surprised?"
