My 1979

"I'm thinking about it. Don't rush. It's better to do things slowly and steadily. Go see if Li Aijun is in the room, and then you drive us to the hospital."

It was today that Li He made an appointment for Li Aijun to go to the hospital to get a prosthetic leg. He didn't know whether he was excited or worried. Because of this, Li Aijun couldn't sleep well last night after tossing and turning. He felt sluggish when he got up. After breakfast, Li He rushed him back to his room. He went to catch up on his sleep again.

After Shen Daoru called Li Aijun out, Li Aijun still looked nervous. After getting in the car, he kept asking Li He, "Do you think it can be done?"

"It's not a question of whether it can be done, but a question of whether it's good or not."

Li He also deliberately found a few books on this topic in the past few days and read them. No matter how awesome the material is, no matter how awesome the production method is, if it makes the stump uncomfortable, it is all in vain! Comfort is most important!

But even with this level of comfort, domestic products cannot compare with Hong Kong, and the design experience and level are far behind.

When he arrived at the hospital, Li Aijun suddenly felt a little more confident when he saw that it was such a big and beautiful hospital.

"This is the best hospital for installing prosthetic limbs in Hong Kong. Don't worry, there will be no problem. I have already asked the doctor for you." Shen Daoru led the way into the doctor's room.

The doctor didn't speak Mandarin, so Shen Daoru was the interpreter and Li Aijun was the one who answered throughout the whole process.

"Tell the doctor, I'm not short of money. I'll do everything according to the best. I'll accept any amount."

Li Aijun answered very confidently, this time he brought enough money. However, every time the doctor shook his head and sighed, he became nervous. In order to ensure that the doctor was attentive, he put on a wealthy attitude.

Shen Daoru said, "The doctor said there is no problem, don't worry."

Li Aijun asked, "Will it hurt when I walk on it?"

Shen Daoru asked the doctor and then replied, "No, there is a gel sleeve in the socket, which can reduce pain and abrasion at the skin graft site."

After Li Aijun installed the prosthetic limb, he was about to take two steps with crutches. He tried not to use the crutches to use force, but almost fell down.

"Why didn't it work?"

He said a little frustrated.

Shen Daoru said, "The doctor said that you need to do a few days of rehabilitation training so that you can adapt to the function of the prosthetic limb. Don't worry yet."

"You want me to stay in the hospital alone? I can't understand what they are saying. They can't understand what I am saying. Are they trying to kill me?"

Li He said, "Don't be anxious. We have plenty of time. You should stay in the hospital for a few days for training. Since you are here, you must arrive at the first time and not give up halfway. We have time to come and see you. I will find a nurse for you. It’s best to know both Mandarin and Cantonese, and be able to translate for you.”

Shen Daoru answered consciously, "I will find someone to deliver it in the afternoon."

There are many people coming from the mainland, so it’s hard to find such people. Whether they come openly or secretly, their purpose in coming to Hong Kong is very simple, which is to fight. If they don't fight, they will die. Charter King, Dong Boat King, Shao Daheng, this group of familiar fellow villagers set an example for them.

To put it bluntly, the spirit of Hong Kong is a history of the struggles of immigrants, and has little to do with the native-born locals.

Shen Daoru was very efficient and found a caregiver for Li Aijun in the afternoon.

She is a little girl from Huizhou. Although her Mandarin is not very good, she can at least be understood by Li Aijun. She has been in Hong Kong for five or six years and is a waiter in the tea restaurant downstairs of Shen Daoru's company.

Originally she didn't want to delay her work, but she couldn't bear it. Shen Daoru was too familiar with the owner of this tea restaurant. At the same time, Shen Daoru's salary was indeed attractive, so she agreed. Isn't it just chatting with a lame man? It's better than working in a restaurant. Much easier.

Shen Daoru explained a few words and left in a hurry.

Li Aijun had lost his crutches. He was holding on to the parallel bars in the training room and learning to walk step by step. He was sweating profusely with every step he took. He had been training boringly for several hours.

The little girl said, "The doctor said we should balance work and rest."

Li Aijun smiled and said, "Thank you, it's okay. What's your name?"

"Gong Min."

"My name is Li Aijun, just call me Lao Li."

"Are you from the capital?"

Li Aijun nodded, "Yes."

"I haven't been to the capital yet."

"Then when you have time, I can accompany you. I am familiar with all the streets and alleys in the capital. I started running around the streets when I was five or six years old, climbing trees and climbing chimneys. We all liked it when we were children." Li Aijun said. , and couldn't help but think of the past.

Gong Min looked at Li Aijun's legs, and finally asked bluntly, "Then you used crutches to climb the tree?"

Li Aijun smiled and said, "My legs were good before. Just like your legs, I can run, kick, and climb trees."

"Then what?" Gong Min didn't know what to ask.

"You want to ask why it became like this?"

Gong Min nodded, "Yes."

"Let's fight, fight with the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese use Soviet artillery. You can't hide when the artillery fire comes. If you don't, your legs will be gone."

Gong Min asked with admiring eyes, "Then you must be a big hero. There are many Vietnamese in Hong Kong, and they are all bad. I hate them."

"No, no, I am not a hero. Those who bravely sacrifice are heroes. How can I be a hero?"

When Li Aijun was praised like this by a little girl, his face suddenly turned red and he was a little embarrassed.

"You are a great hero." The little girl said with certainty.

"I'm not." Li Aijun felt that this answer was a bit pale, so he continued, "If someone bullies you in the future, just tell me, don't think my legs are useless, I will just punch them with my fists."

"Okay. That's settled."

"Do you work in a hotel here?" Li Aijun reluctantly found another topic. Maybe he was a little bored these days and urgently needed someone to chat with. No matter what he talked about, it would be nice to have someone to accompany him.

"It's a tea restaurant, not just a place to eat."

Li Aijun thought for a while and said, "I know, it's the kind of place where a serving of fried noodles costs ten yuan? And a cup of tea costs five yuan. I'd rather die of thirst. It's too expensive."

He went out several times with people like Shen Daoru and Su Ming, and even if he didn't pay, he felt heartbroken, so no matter what he ordered, he always got the cheapest option. However, he still rushed to pay a few times, and he felt sorry for always eating from them.

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought when I first came here. I would rather die of thirst."

Gong Min kept nodding, and the two of them seemed to have suddenly found a common language.

During dinner in the evening, Gong Min asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it."

Li Aijun said, "No, what do you want to eat? Let's go to the restaurant to eat. I'll treat you."

"It's so expensive. There are bento boxes nearby, so we can just buy them."

"I can afford it, let's go."

Li Aijun didn't want to be too stingy in front of a girl, so he took the lead out of the training room on crutches.
