Chapter 398 Witness the Moment of Miracle!

After toasting at the uncle's table, the younger aunt Weiyun brought Li Xiaofan to the next table.

She introduced Li Xiaofan with a smile: "Xiaofan, this is your second uncle, he is now the big leader of our Mingzhou Foreign Trade Bureau Office!"

The Li Weikang in front of him is the second brother of Li Xiaofan's father Li Weichao. This so-called "big leader" is actually the chief clerk of the Mingzhou Foreign Trade Bureau Office, a clerk at the lowest level. However, he is also a formal civil servant in the system of Li Xiaofan's grandfather Li Mingxian's big family, a college student.

"Hello, second uncle, I toast you a glass!"

Li Xiaofan humbly toasted him, but he didn't expect that this second uncle Li Weikang was more powerful than his uncle Li Weijian, and he didn't even want to raise his glass.

"Oh..." He glanced at Li Xiaofan with contempt, then turned to Li Weiyun and said:

"Weiyun, is the business of the small shop good recently?"

"It's okay. Why, second brother, why do you suddenly care about me? Could it be that you, the big leader, want to introduce a good job to me?"

Although Li Weikang is not a high-ranking official, he speaks in an official tone: "As for work, it's not a problem. The key is that it's difficult to arrange a job with your education..."

"Second brother, you have a wide network of people as a leader in the Municipal Foreign Economic and Trade Bureau. Please keep an eye on them for me when you have time!"

Li Weiyun deliberately said the words "leader in the Municipal Foreign Economic and Trade Bureau" very loudly so that all the relatives around him could hear it.

This made Li Weikang particularly useful!

He was afraid that his relatives didn't know that he was a "section-level leader" of the Municipal Foreign Economic and Trade Bureau, so he even printed the seven words "section-level chief clerk" on his business card very large.

Li Weikang laughed and said loudly: "Little sister, no problem, no problem. I will pay attention to it for you next time and try to find you a good foreign-invested enterprise to work in, a good position, easy work and high income!"

On the way back from Li Weikang's table after toasting, his uncle Sun Dahai muttered beside Li Weiyun: "Your second brother is the most unreliable. He said he would help you find a job, but he has been saying it for many years, and there is no sign of him!"

Li Weiyun whispered: "Maybe my second brother has his difficulties. After all, he is just a chief clerk, not a big leader. And it is really hard for a middle-aged woman like me with a high school education to find a job. Let's continue to manage our clothing store..."

Sun Dahai sighed: "The key is that our clothing store is also difficult to maintain. The current clothing trends change too quickly, and the tastes of young people are hard to figure out. The capital and profits we invested before are all accumulated in those outdated stocks!"

...

After being toasted by his aunt Li Weiyun, Li Xiaofan felt mixed emotions.

These relatives with rich families and slightly better conditions seem to be more snobbish, while those relatives with poor family conditions may be sympathetic to each other, and are relatively polite and caring to their aunt Li Weiyun and Li Xiaofan...

Only they know how they feel.

After sitting in his seat and eating, Li Xiaofan found that his grandfather Li Mingxian at the main table had static tremors in his hands due to long-term Parkinson's disease, and needed relatives to feed him.

So he whispered a few words to his aunt Li Weiyun.

Later, Li Weiyun walked behind the main table and took out a bunch of chopsticks, spoons, cups and other items from the gift bag sent by Li Xiaofan. After asking the waiter to wash them and soak them in hot water, she sent them to her father Li Mingxian.

"Dad, this is the anti-shake convenient chopsticks that Xiaofan brought you from abroad, try it..."

After that, Li Weiyun tried to tie this pair of "anti-shake convenient chopsticks" to the wrist of her father Li Mingxian with a strap.

This pair of "anti-shake convenient chopsticks" is cleverly designed. The front half is a pair of chopsticks, and the back half is a one-piece clip tied to the wrist.

It allows Parkinson's patients to pick up food directly with their hands, eliminating the complicated chopstick-using skills. When using it, the hands can be used without force, which is very convenient.

This "anti-shake convenient chopsticks" is a new product for Parkinson's patients that Li Xiaofan carefully selected for his grandfather Li Mingxian when he was in the United States. It is suitable for: Parkinson's patients, and people with hand cramps, finger deformation, finger tremors, stiffness, loss of grip, the elderly, children, hand injuries or disabilities.

After using the "anti-shake convenient chopsticks" tied to him by Li Weiyun, Grandpa Li Mingxian tried a few times and actually tried to use his wrist to force to pick up the food.

After trying a few more times, he actually successfully put a piece of fried pork slices into his mouth!

At this time, "Haha, haha", Li Mingxian laughed innocently like a child.

This was the first time in 20 years since he got Parkinson's disease that he was able to accurately pick up food and successfully put it into his mouth!

Then, Li Weiyun tried another new product brought by Li Xiaofan, the "anti-shake spoon", on his father Li Mingxian.

This "anti-shake spoon" for Parkinson's patients bought by Li Xiaofan from the United States is a smart tableware that can intelligently identify and vividly offset hand shaking. It uses a balance hammer and a rotating shaft to maintain the stability of the spoon, helping Parkinson's patients like Li Mingxian and people with hand shaking to avoid the embarrassment and inconvenience caused by shaking when dining.

This revolutionary "anti-shake spoon" brings a lot of convenience to Parkinson's patients, increases their dining independence, and provides a more relaxed and stable dining solution for people with hand shaking.

With this "anti-shake spoon", Li Mingxian drank his first mouthful of old chicken soup for the first time in 20 years without the help of outsiders.

After Li Mingxian drank the old chicken soup, he was so excited that tears fell!

Next, Li Weiyun also gave his father the "slanted cup" for Parkinson's patients brought by Li Xiaofan.

The angle of this "slanted cup" is scientifically designed, so that patients can drink water without tilting their heads, and the edge of the cup will not get stuck on the face, reducing the risk of choking and aspiration caused by tilting the head to drink water.

The opening of the "slanted cup" is a slanted cut design, which is much larger than the mouth of an ordinary water cup, allowing Li Mingxian to see the state of the liquid in the cup more clearly. The cup has a double-sided handle design, which is convenient for Parkinson's patients to take and prevent liquid spillage.

After Li Mingxian used the "slanted cup", it was also the first time in 20 years that he drank tea independently without spilling the tea!

Afterwards, Li Weiyun introduced several other Parkinson's patients-specific products brought by Li Xiaofan to his father and relatives nearby.

Like this bowl, it is also very distinctive. There is a guard design on one side of the bowl to prevent burns or food spills when using a flat-edged bowl. The bottom of the bowl is equipped with a soft bottom suction cup, which is made of soft silicone material. The bottom of the bowl is sucked on the smooth table by pressing and emptying, so that the bowl is fixed on the table and not easy to slide. In addition, the kettle is designed with a seat support, which is light and energy-saving. You don't need to pick up the kettle when taking it, which prevents Parkinson's patients from spilling hot water due to hand tremors and scalding.

There is also a very special dressing aid. One end of the tool can help buttons pass through buttonholes, and the other end can help pull the zipper of clothes, helping Parkinson's patients like Li Mingxian to complete fine movements.

What attracted everyone's attention was the laser crutch that Li Xiaofan brought from the United States. Because Parkinson's patients often have abnormal gait and stiff and unstable body, which leads to frozen gait and panic gait symptoms, which hinders their independent walking.

This laser walking cane is equipped with a laser light, which can emit laser to form a horizontal line on the ground. It allows patients to overcome starting difficulties and turning and walking problems by crossing the horizontal line...

At this time, everyone began to understand the preciousness of Li Xiaofan's birthday gift to his grandfather Li Mingxian!

When everyone focused their attention on table No. 8 where Li Xiaofan was sitting, they found that his seat was empty and Li Xiaofan was nowhere to be found!
