Chapter Twenty-Four: A Century-Old Bridge
After Zhang Jing left, Lin Zitan looked at the textbook in his hand, to be honest, he really couldn't understand it, although he didn't have the slightest problem with the language now, but he really didn't know where to start with these science things, which was why he wanted Li Manrui to send him to tutoring.
Lin Zitan rested at home for more than two weeks, during which he also received the driver's license he had just taken in the summer, and went back to the hospital for a re-examination in the middle. Today is the day when he dismantles the splint, Lin Zi didn't let Li Manrui follow, only called Zhang Jing to accompany him, and the two of them took the bus to the subway, and it was almost noon when they ran to the hospital, just in time for the appointment at half past eleven.
After removing the splint and carefully trying to move again, the doctor said that you could walk normally without fear. At the moment when his feet landed, Lin Zitan finally had a feeling of being truly alive, and he couldn't wait to go out and run 800 meters to try his legs and feet.
"Well, I finally understand what it means to be "down-to-earth," Lin Zitan smiled and said to Zhang Jingdao, who was waiting on the side.
"Okay, this time I can finally go out with my buddies, it just so happens that I made an appointment with Michelle and the little girl who helped you deliver food last time, and we will eat together in Chinatown later, there is a lobster restaurant, which is said to be super popular!" Zhang Jing looked at Lin Zitan with a satisfied face, and said excitedly.
"No problem, I have to thank you and Michelle that friend! I'll treat you at noon," Lin Zitan said generously.
"Yo~ It's not easy, our Lin Gongzi is also willing to bleed!" Zhang Jing sneered backwards as he walked out.
"Was I stingy before?" Lin Zitan's words sounded ridiculous, but in fact, he himself didn't know what kind of person Lin Zitan was, especially in the minds of others, in addition to being a rebellious teenager with secondary two diseases, there were any other problems.
"No, but you always advertise not to spend your mother's money, you don't seem to have used the card she gave you, and you don't know where you tossed some money, although it's not stingy, it's definitely not generous anyway!" Zhang Jing finished speaking, and cautiously glanced back at Lin Zitan, who didn't dare to walk so hard.
Hearing Zhang Jing say that Lin Zitan would toss some money by himself, Lin Zitan suddenly fell silent, he was wondering if Lin Zitan hadn't spent Li Manrui's money, he was only a 17-year-old boy, and he was only fifteen or sixteen years old when he first came to the United States, so where did his usual expenses come from?
"Hey, what do you want, are you angry?" Zhang Jing walked and found that Lin Zitan hadn't followed at all, and when he turned his head, the old man stopped in place and didn't leave, so he walked back and waved his hand tentatively and asked.
"What's the matter?" no, I'm just thinking about something!" Lin Zitan patted Zhang Jing's hand waving in front of him.
"What do you think? I see that your relationship with your mother is much better now, don't lose your temper with her in the future, I'm afraid that she won't spoil you to heaven! By the way, I heard that your mother opened a restaurant near our school, and I will follow you to eat and drink spicy food in the future, hehe~" Zhang Jing said with a flattering expression that will be mixed with you in the future.
"What?
"Yes, it's still a Japanese restaurant, it's my favorite!I'm wondering if your mother opened it for me, if it's delicious, I can fire my nanny and go to your restaurant every day to eat, haha~"
Zhang Jing said it was quite lively, but Lin Zitan felt that this world was so mysterious! He was a frying pot master in a Japanese restaurant in his last life, and he finally became a so-called rich man, and now his mother is still a restaurant!
Can't you be her rich Mrs. Kuo? What a fool! But when he turned his face and thought about it, maybe he could make his first pot of gold back from his mother's restaurant, so he didn't bother so much.
"Hey, I said Zhang Jing, you can't have a crush on my mother, why don't you know about her opening a restaurant, you know so well?" Lin Zitan couldn't help but tease when he saw Zhang Jing's happiness.
"I'll go, isn't it Lin Zitan, your brain is caught in the door, right? Who do I have a crush on, I can't have a crush on my mother like that, oh, your mother is like that! It's too scary, okay!" Zhang Jing said with a look of admiration and insensitivity, and his funny expression suddenly made Lin Zitan laugh.
"Also, my mom is like a woman in front of Mike, and her face is like a dominatrix when she turns her face, haha... Lin Zitan thought of Li Manrui's expression that switched between him and Mike at will on weekdays, and he really admired it from the bottom of his heart. However, he also knew that the reason why Li Manrui was so strict with him was that he really wanted his son Jackie Chan to be anxious.
"But to be honest, your mother is indeed gentle like water in front of that foreigner, I was fortunate to see it once, hey! If my mother could be as good as your mother, I would have been able to return to China to enjoy happiness, my mother knows to do it against my father, and I can't wait to get people out and find a few lovers before I stop!"
Zhang Jingqi said, the two of them were already walking from the hospital to the NYC municipal park. Looking at the bustling crowd moving in the direction of the Brooklyn Bridge, Lin Zi couldn't help but stop.
The Brooklyn Bridge has been built for 120 years, and when Lin Zitan turned to the history of New York at home, he also took a special look at the history of the bridge and the Manhattan Bridge, which was a nightmare for him.
According to historical records, the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge has a very sad story, which took the life's work of two generations of chief engineers of father and son, and before the completion of the project, in addition to the first chief engineer, at least 20 workers died, and finally built the world's first steel bridge at that time, the world's first cable-stayed suspension bridge, known as the eighth wonder after the seven ancient wonders.
Perhaps that's why the bridge attracts so many tourists from all over the world every day! Some young people even choose to take wedding photos on this bridge, get married on this bridge, and many movies and TV series about New York are also filmed here.
Lin Zitan thought of this, and he still had a very big psychological shadow when he was thrown down from here, and at this moment, when he saw this bridge, he was stunned.
"Alas, it's fate!" Lin Zi sighed and said with a wry smile, and then followed Zhang Jing, who was already waiting a little impatiently, and continued to walk forward.
"I said what are you doing? I regret that I just said that I had a treat, right?" Zhang Jing waited for Lin Zitan to follow, and couldn't help but smile and hit him.
"Haha, how is that possible!I'm looking at this bridge, haven't you walked across this bridge with Michelle?," Lin Zitan quickly diverted Zhang Jing's attention.
"What's the matter, it's just a broken bridge, I was only looking at the beautiful women at the time, I didn't look at it carefully at all, why don't we go shopping together after eating?" Zhang Jing proposed.
"Forget it, there's really nothing to go about!" Lin Zi said quickly, he didn't want to relive the feeling of despair that night.
"Seeing that you've been looking there, I thought you wanted to go shopping, let's go, Michelle and they should be there. Zhang Jing said as he took out his mobile phone to call Michelle.
Lin Zitan said yes, and followed Zhang Jing to continue walking, from here you can walk all the way to Broadway, and I don't know where they made an appointment to meet, anyway, he just followed forward.
Before leaving, Lin Zitan once again looked back at the hundred-year-old bridge, and the endless flow of people, all with the solemn expression of pilgrimage, gradually turned into a glittering oil painting under the summer sun, which gave him a wonderful feeling of being in a different world.
