16. Feminist specimens
Zhang Ling slept well.
When she woke up, the clock hanging on the opposite wall told her that she must be late for the day. The person who would disobey her will and send him to the hospital probably won't let him go to work easily. Well, it's considered absenteeism.
What is the smell in the ward? The warm aroma of rice mixed with the sweet aroma of wolfberry and unknown medicine really made Zhang Ling feel a little appreciative. She also remembered that she hadn't eaten since last night. The intensive care unit is quiet, especially for acute gastritis, which does not require much attention from doctors and nurses. It was so quiet that you could hear the boiling of boiling things, the gurgling of bubbles bursting.
Wait, this is the ward, somebody is cooking in the ward? There was a curtain around the bed, but if you put your head out a little, you could see who was sitting at the window. However, before Zhang Ling could put the plan into practice, the rumbling sound of his stomach had already reminded the other party in an extremely indecent way that he had woken up.
The curtain was pulled open with a thud, and a huge humanoid shadow was cast on Zhang Ling's face. The sun shone unkemptly from behind him. Zhang Ling only felt that the tall man in front of him seemed to be golden.
"Teacher Zhang, you're awake. ”
Hearing this voice, Zhang Ling's heart was moved. No matter how strong her heart is, Zhang Ling is a young girl after all, and it feels very good to find someone around her to rely on when she encounters something.
"I've slept for a long time, hehe, I'm late for work. Zhang Ling smiled, although he was a little hungry, but now his stomach no longer hurts, and he had a good night's sleep, although his body was still a little weak, but his spirit was very good.
Zhang Ling's first thought was not to eat, but to find his mobile phone from his backpack at the bedside and call the director of the company where he worked. She would turn off her mobile phone every time she gave Zuo Lin a make-up lesson, and now, her mobile phone is still turned off.
"Hello, Manager Lu, I'm Zhang Ling...... Well, I had an acute gastritis attack and am still in the hospital...... Well, though...... What the?...... Oh well...... Goodbye......" Zhang Ling's voice was so crisp and powerful from beginning to end, but his mood was low. Originally, she took a document home to make, and this PPT was used by Manager Lu's boss, Mr. Peng, for a meeting in the morning. Zhang Ling didn't get to work on time today, and he couldn't find the call, which caused Mr. Peng to lose face at the regional sales comprehensive meeting in the morning, and left the sentence: "What intern, tell her to leave" and copied Zhang Ling's squid.
A good internship job is in vain. Now it's hard to find a place to work for a summer internship, and it's basically saturated, and it's going to be so wasted this summer.
Zhang Ling was a little helpless, but he wasn't too worried, for what had happened, worrying and worrying was worthless.
"Teacher Zhang, I cooked some porridge for you, and the doctor said to eat semi-liquid for 2 to 3 days to recuperate, so as not to add too much burden to the stomach all at once. Zuo Lin extinguished the alcohol stove, poured the fragrant medicinal porridge from the small clay pot into the aluminum lunch box, and brought it to Zhang Ling.
"I really can't see that you still have the ability to do this. Zhang Ling smelled the fragrant porridge, and immediately threw the unpleasantness just now out of the clouds.
"Before I joined the club, I was a medicine farmer who grew herbs and sold them to the physiotherapy room of the training base. Zuo Lin said.
Zhang Ling had a general understanding of Zuo Lin's situation when he learned about Zuo Lin's learning background, and he was not surprised, and drank porridge there with his head snoring. The porridge tasted better than she had imagined. She didn't know what Zuo Lin added to the porridge, but the porridge without adding sugar and any seasoning tasted sweet in her mouth, and what was even more amazing was that after drinking the porridge, Zhang Ling could clearly feel the heat exuding from her body. This is not to eat something hot and sweat there, but as if there is an energy source inside his body, starting from the stomach and gradually filling Zhang Ling's limbs with infinite energy.
"What did you add to it?" Zhang Ling raised his head and asked.
"The secret ingredient. I'll mix the medicine and rice for you when I go back, get more, and you can add some water and boil it. Zuo Lin didn't dare to say that there were some magical creatures that basically didn't exist in this world, and in one night, he was in the ward where no one came, but he quietly got a lot.
Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "There's no way to get this in the dormitory." High-power electrical appliances are not allowed in the bedroom, and there seems to be a problem with the wiring in the bedroom, which trips when plugged in a small electric stove. Even if I could cook it, it would be a question of how much of it would end up in my mouth when I got it in the bedroom. ”
Zuo Lin didn't know much about dormitories and the like, and the only dormitory he lived in was the club's athletes' dormitory. Air conditioners, water dispensers, and water heaters are all basic equipment, and Zuo Lin doesn't quite understand what happens when he trips when he plugs in the electric stove.
After eating the porridge, Zhang Ling felt a little uncomfortable on his body. Zuo Lin felt very rude when he brought the teacher to the hospital, and naturally it was impossible to do anything like helping Zhang Ling change his clothes, Zhang Ling was still wearing yesterday's white shirt and dark gray trousers, and he sweated a lot when he was in pain, and he slept in the hospital bed all night, and the originally crisp clothes on his body were now no better than the crumpled moldy dried vegetables.
Zhang Ling's face flushed. His image is now almost ruined in Zuo Lin's eyes. She was a little embarrassed and said, "Can you take me back to the dormitory?" ”
"The doctor told you to recuperate for a few days, and if you don't want to stay in the hospital, then I'll send you back. Aren't you from Shanghai? Why do you want to go to the dormitory if you don't go home?" Zuo Lin felt a little strange.
Zhang Ling was reluctant to tell anyone about his family, so he just said lightly: "The bedroom is relatively free." ”
"Well, Brother Yu hasn't come yet, he waited until 11 o'clock yesterday to go home. It's equivalent to the eldest brother coming, and I'll send you back to the dormitory. …… Teacher Zhang, your health is important, so don't go to work these days. Zuo Lin still felt that Teacher Guan's matter seemed a bit rude.
"Hehe," Zhang Ling tilted his head, flattened his mouth, and showed a beautiful helpless smile, "I was copied and squid." Throughout the summer, I didn't have any other job except to give you make-up classes. ”
Zuo Lin didn't say anything.
Zhang Ling's dormitory is in Songjiang University Town. The most convenient thing about an unwalled university campus is that you can drive directly to the bottom of the residence hall. Girls are born with a talent for gossip, Zhang Ling appeared in wrinkled clothes from the BMW car, causing the suspicious eyes of the girls around her. At Zhang Ling's request, Zuo Lin sat in the car and didn't come out, otherwise, the curious classmates, the guys with a talent for gossip, must be able to give full play to their other specialty - chasing stars.
Fortunately, it is summer vacation, most of the students have gone home, and less than 30% of the students remain in school. Some of these people don't like to go home and be managed by their parents, some want to save money on train and plane tickets to go home, and those who take advantage of the quiet and undisturbed summer vacation to hide in the library to practice are not nothing, but the most are those who take advantage of the summer vacation to take on various social practices, internships and short-term project work. If it was during the usual class, it would be enough to be sent to the dormitory by BMW car after not returning all night.
The driver arrived at the hospital late because he was not too late. He received a good salary, and the most basic requirement was to be by the side of the person he was responsible for from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and even outside of this time, he had to do it 24 hours a day, 7 ×hours a week, 365 days a year. He actually made a small report to Yan Hokusai in the morning.
Tsubame Hokusai is very concerned about everything that happens around Zuo Lin. His attitude towards Zuo Lin is like that of an elder, hoping to see Zuo Lin thrive, but he is like a friend, always watching if anything interesting will happen to Zuo Lin. So, pretending not to know just now, he called Zuo Lin and invited him to have lunch together.
"Teacher Zhang is okay, right?" Yan Beizhai felt a little funny in his heart, he didn't want to see a joke when he chose a beautiful woman for Zuo Lin as a tutor, but Zuo Lin has always been trembling and respectful of his teacher, and he simply doesn't regard Zhang Ling, who is only a few years older than him, as a person of the same generation. However, Zhang Ling's acute gastritis this time undoubtedly shortened the distance between Zuo Lin and Zhang Ling.
"Teacher Zhang is okay. I'll get some ingredients for the porridge and send it to Zhang Ling. According to the doctor, Mr. Zhang must have eaten without a meal, and it is not very regular. ”
Yan Beizhai sighed and said, "Teacher Zhang is not easy, especially compared with today's young people. Don't say it, don't say it. ”
Zuo Lin's curiosity was aroused by Yan Hokusai and asked, "What's wrong with Teacher Zhang?"
Yan Hokusai did not pretend to be pretentious, and said: "Mr. Zhang has been supporting himself since the first day of entering university. From the second semester onwards, all tuition fees are paid by yourself. Looking back at the resume she gave me at the beginning, my secretary said that she has been doing odd jobs in her spare time for the past two years, and has maintained a monthly income of no less than 3,500, which is almost the income level of a small white-collar worker in her new job. The second-class scholarship has been awarded for two consecutive years, and the courses in the school have not been pulled down. It's not easy. ”
Yan Beizhai once sent someone to investigate Zhang Ling, because from the moment he saw Zhang Ling, he felt that her temperament was very different from that of her peers. Yan Beizhai even felt that Zhang Ling and his girlfriend Ye Yilan had a similar temperament. This is indeed the case with the results of the survey. After Zhang Ling entered the university, he applied for a student loan and living supplement for the first semester, and did not ask for a penny from his family. After that, I looked for various part-time job opportunities while studying. In the winter vacation of her freshman year, she worked in an insurance company, doing the most misunderstood and discriminated against strange visits, and after eating countless closed doors, she still sold a considerable amount of insurance during the winter vacation; at the beginning of the second half semester of her freshman year, in addition to continuing to maintain and expand those insurance customers, she also helped a public relations company write essays, because of her relatively abundant income, she did not choose to rest after class, but signed up for the CPA CPA course, and is still studying; in the summer of her freshman year, she worked in a foreign trade company for two whole monthsIn the first half of her sophomore year, Zhang Ling signed up for French courses in addition to CPA, and chose not the kind of elective courses that follow the textbook in the school, but the intensive courses for white-collar workers with relatively high prices......
Compared with his peers, Zhang Ling has a terrifying timeline. School courses, training from outside newspapers, and part-time work may mean that she may sleep less than 6 hours a day on average, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. Because of her work, she met a lot of people, but she had few friends at school other than the few people in her dorm. At work, she was mature, capable, and prestigious, with no features other than a slightly thin body that showed her to be a college student. When dining with colleagues, she consciously AA system, refusing the intention of those male colleagues who have intentions against her to pay for her, but at school, when eating with people in the dormitory, she often pays for those who don't work and are always a little tight on money.
Zhang Ling is a typical woman of the new era. She doesn't take it for granted to be taken care of by others, she feels that she can take care of herself and can make herself live well. And she has also proved that she has such a ability with her actions.
Yan Beizhai felt that it was not for nothing that Zhang Ling and Ye Yilan looked alike. Ye Yilan was born in a scholarly family in Taipei, and her best and favorite since elementary school is nothing more than calligraphy and Chinese painting. Ye Yilan was unwilling to work as an office clerk, starting from working as a design assistant for Chinese fonts in a design studio, and moved towards her ideal step by step. Later, he joined a cross-strait cultural exchange activity group and came to Shanghai. Since that event was sponsored by Tsubame Hokusai, meeting Tsubame Hokusai at a banquet became a turning point in her career. In the beginning, Yan Hokusai did fund several of Ye Yilan's art exhibitions purely out of appreciation for Ye Yilan's works. As for how the two gradually came to the point where they want to talk about marriage now, it is not enough for outsiders.
Yan Hokusai admires women like Zhang Ling, and admires such a person who is self-reliant enough to be a specimen of feminism. But he is a person who can see the weakness of such a woman's heart. And now, success has aroused Zuo Lin's interest in Zhang Ling, as for how the relationship between the two will change, it will be interesting to see.
After listening to Yan Lao's extremely detailed introduction to Zhang Ling, Zuo Lin already knew that what a woman like Zhang Ling needed was not pity, but equal help as a friend, and for now, Zuo Lin could make full use of his identity as a student. Thinking about these things, this lunch with Yan Hokusai became a little dull.
"Elder Yan, I want to officially start teaching Xiaoxue the lingua franca and mantra terms. Putting aside the problems that could not be solved for a while, Zuo Lin remembered his decision.
Teaching the universal druid language and the spell druid language means that Yan Yingxue will officially begin to train Yan Yingxue as a druid. Although Yan Beisai's talent Yan Beizhai has known for a long time, even Yan Beizhai is not sure that Yan Yingxue's talents are enough, so although he has always hoped that his granddaughter can become a member of this system, Yan Hokusai has never mentioned such a request, or tested whether Zuo Lin has such an idea. And now, Zuo Lin took the initiative to mention this matter, which really made Yan Beizhai overjoyed.
