Siheyuan: Space takes me to exchange!

When they arrived in Chuncheng, Li Xiuyuan took them to a guesthouse near the train station, then got some hot water and used it to burn their hands and feet.

Then, the three of them had a quick bite to eat. Ma Xiuying took Xiaoman to rest in the guesthouse, while Li Xiuyuan went to inquire about the train to Beijing.

Li Xiuyuan arrived at the train station and found out that the train from Chuncheng to Beijing was an express train. It would depart from Chuncheng at around 8:00 p.m. and arrive in Beijing at around 10:00 a.m. the next day. The entire journey took less than 15 hours, which was considered an express train for trains of that era.

It is seven o'clock in the morning and there are still twelve hours until evening, but thinking of Xiaoman's health, Li Xiuyuan feels that it would be better to stay in Chuncheng for one night.

So, he paid five yuan more to buy a sleeper ticket to Beijing for the next night from a cadre who was on a business trip to Beijing, while he could only buy a hard seat ticket.

Li Xiuyuan returned to the guesthouse carrying the hot buns he bought from the state-owned restaurant.

As soon as he opened the door, he startled Ma Xiuying who was sleeping.

"Mantun, have you bought the ticket?"

"I bought it. It will leave from Chuncheng at 8 o'clock tomorrow night and arrive the next morning."

"That's great!" Ma Xiuying thought the earliest ticket was for tomorrow, so she only asked about the price and didn't ask anything else.

"Eat some buns. I just bought them. They're still hot!"

Seeing the buns in Li Xiuyuan's hand, Ma Xiuying felt so distressed that she said in a reproachful manner, "Why did you buy this, kid? We already have dry food, meat sauce, and eggs. Why are you spending this money?"

"You'd better give the money to me. I don't feel safe leaving it in your hands. You're not grown up yet, but you're quite generous with your money."

Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to hand over the financial power.

He told Ma Xiuying that he made more than 200 yuan from selling the prey this time, and after spending some money on train tickets and other things, he only had 200 yuan left.

Ma Xiuying put together all the money her family had saved and borrowed, and the total amount was less than four hundred yuan.

"I don't know how much it will cost to treat this disease. Is it more expensive to see a doctor in Beijing than here?"

"Mantun, why don't we go to the big hospital in the provincial capital first. If that doesn't work, we can go to Beijing." Ma Xiuying was still worried that there would not be enough money, so she was a little hesitant and thought that the big hospital in the provincial capital would be fine.

Li Xiuyuan gave most of the money he had to Ma Xiuying, but he was not afraid. There were so many supplies in the space that he could just sell some and get the money back.

So, he advised: "I think we should not go to the provincial capital. We have already bought the tickets. Besides, the medical treatment is basically the same, it is not that expensive. Moreover, the doctors in Beijing are highly skilled, and that is where the leaders are treated."

Ma Xiuying thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she stopped talking. However, she still felt a vague worry lingering in her heart.

Li Xiuyuan ate two buns and lay down on the bed to sleep. There was heating in the guesthouse, and the three of them slept soundly in the room.

It was not until the afternoon that they got enough sleep.

In the evening, Li Xiuyuan insisted on suggesting going to a restaurant for dinner, but Ma Xiuying was unwilling.

Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to buy Xiaoman a bowl of shredded pork noodles. He and Ma Xiuying still had dry food with hot water and meat sauce, which was actually not bad.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Xiuyuan went to the black market in Chuncheng and sold some fruits, vegetables, fish, shrimp, cooked food and other supplies in exchange for one thousand yuan.

That night, when Ma Xiuying took her daughter on the sleeper car, she realized why her train ticket was so expensive.

However, seeing that her daughter was lying comfortably on the bunk, she suppressed her heartache and did not scold her son.

After a night of traveling, the train finally arrived in Beijing at around ten o'clock the next morning.

When she set foot on the land of Beijing, Ma Xiuying was very excited.

Li Xiuyuan took them on a tricycle and took them directly to the guesthouse near Union Hospital.

Ma Xiuying felt very relieved as she saw her son arranging everything in an increasingly organized manner.

Li Xiuyuan arranged everything, but he didn't go back to the courtyard to take a look, nor did he go to see what his real body was doing?

He stayed in the guesthouse with Ma Xiuying and her daughter, and took them to the hospital the next day.

After diagnosis by the doctor, Zhao Xiaoman was found to be suffering from atrial septal defect and needed surgical repair.

Xiaoman's surgery was scheduled for the next day. Amid Ma Xiuying's nervous and worried atmosphere, Zhao Xiaoman's surgery was completed and it was very successful. The doctor told her to supplement her nutrition, so Ma Xiuying had to take out money to buy nutritional supplements for her daughter.

Li Xiuyuan knew that Ma Xiuying would not have much money left after the operation, so he and Zhao Mantun staged a play of returning the lost money.

It was said that Zhao Mantun picked up something important from a man named Li Xiuyuan and returned it to Li Xiuyuan.

This man named Li Xiuyuan was grateful to Zhao Mantun. When he learned that Zhao Mantun's sister was sick and hospitalized, he bought a lot of nutritional products for Zhao Mantun's sister, such as malted milk, milk powder, canned food, cakes, sugar and so on.

Sometimes, Li Xiuyuan would take out a chicken and use the guesthouse kitchen to stew chicken soup and bring it to Zhao Xiaoman, saying it was a gift of thanks.

Ma Xiuying felt very guilty about this. She was very grateful to this man named Li Xiuyuan and told her son that she wanted to meet him and thank him in person.

Li Xiuyuan himself could only say that the other party was very busy and he would definitely come to see them when he had time.
