Chapter 61
Fee Chapter (20 points)
Although Andres didn't know that he didn't know it was happening, he looked at Marry's complexion and spirit, and it was obviously much better. The eyes are full of brilliance here, a desire for life. is no longer a face of decadence and disgrace. He was visibly relieved, "Oh dear, you look so much better." He leaned over and hugged her.
"yes, I think so too." Stacy hugged her hands back.
Seeing their great show of affection in front of them, Fang Monan put on his shoes and put the medicine on the coffee table, and said to her with his mouth: "This is your painkiller, remember to drink it." She pulled up Mobei, "Now that Andrés is here, it's time for us to go." ”
Andrés turned to his senses, "Thank you for taking care of her, no matter what you do." ”
"And your trust." Fang Monan said, otherwise everything will be in vain.
"Let's go first, or the food will be cold in a while." After Fang Monan finished speaking, he pulled Mo Bei away.
After Fang Menan and the others left, Andrés patiently fed Stacey.
Stacey felt that the pain in her lower back was unbearable, so she asked Andrés to boil the packet of Chinese medicine, and after he boiled the medicine according to her instructions, he looked at the bowl of medicine that was about to be cooled on the bedside table next to the bed, and Marry never said that it was dry, so he kept it. He couldn't hold back and asked Marry, is this really a bad smell? ”
"Painkillers," Stacy said with difficulty.
Andrés heard that it was medicine, "? Where did you come from, I won't let you drink it. "Whoever drinks it, will there be a problem.
"Okay, I don't drink it, but now you'd better call the doctor, I can't stand the pain." Stacy said with a grin.
Andrés immediately ran out when he heard this, and at this moment Stacy tilted her head and put the long straw into the medicine bowl, just as it was really difficult to do otherwise, and sucked hard, and her mouth was full of bitter medicine. 'It's so bitter' heard the sound of rapid footsteps, she wrinkled her features, took a breath, spit out the straw, and gasped for air.
At this time, Andrés saw that he was fooled and hurried to run, but unfortunately it was too late, and he saw the brown liquid left on the corner of Stacey's mouth, the empty medicine bowl and the straw inside. He rushed into the hallway and yelled Doctor, Doctor, come on. Let's take a look at Stacy. Oh my goodness."
The doctor quickly arrived, and Andres grabbed the room, "Check it up, check it up." Marry just drank something she shouldn't have drunk. ”
"Jerry, don't listen to Andres, I'm fine. It's so good, it's never been better," said Stacey when she saw the old and her good Jerry.
Jerry, the neurosurgeon at the hospital, heard old Andrés yelling in the hallway and ran to ask him if he was so disrespectful.
"Yes, you don't look complex, actively cooperate with the treatment, and you will definitely get better." Jerry's comfort pale in comparison, but he said the same.
"Jerry, don't listen to her, you can check her out. By all means, by all means, immediately. He shook the doctor's arm vigorously.
"Andres, calm down, I can't check it, don't skip words. "Don't shake it, I can't stand your big hands." Jerry saw him let go and began to ask.
"Marry, is there anything uncomfortable that doesn't skip words. Jerry asked. Marry shook her head.
"No, didn't you just say that your waist and back hurt badly." Andres said.
"It doesn't hurt now." Marry said, it's really amazing, it doesn't hurt so much, of course, there is still a little bit of swelling.
Jerry shrugged, Andrés was worried and said no, you are still going to take a CT (computed tomography)? ”
In order to reassure him, Stacy said, "Okay, I can't shoot it?"
In the CT room, Jerry looked at the screen and frowned, Andrés saw this, "The condition has deteriorated again, isn't it good not to skip words."
"No, it's not worsening, it's small, but it's strange that I see a significant improvement? Possible. Jerry said.
"Better," Andrés heard, "you're saying that Marry's spine didn't worsen, but improved. He was sure again.
"Yes, look here, and here, the edema has shrunk." Jerry said, pointing to the screen.
Andrés is a layman who can't understand it, but there is hope for improvement. He ran to Marie, who had been pushed out, and happily told her the good news.
Stacy took it for granted in later generations, Chinese medicine is really magical.
Fang Monan and the others returned home and sat on the sofa, "You don't ask me what I'm doing in there?" ”
"It's weird, you're treating Stacy." Merbey said.
"You." Fang Monan was taken aback, it's too bad, it's her time. "Others ......."
"Don't worry, it's me and Grandpa Lin at home." Fang Mobei said.
As soon as he heard her words, Fang Monan also did her.
The rest is simple. There were two other exams, both of which were small CAEs for Merbe. Another task is that Mobei has not yet gone to elementary school, but her family has taught her when she is at home. She had to get a high Chinese diploma during Curtis to graduate from Curtis, so she needed to attend an elementary school in Philadelphia. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about it, so when they decided to check the situation of each elementary school before deciding, they took Ludwig to go to elementary school together. ”
With Ludwig's help, they stopped visiting. There is a companion to accompany Mobei, and the family is also relieved. Elementary School is a public elementary school near the University of Pennsylvania.
At a glance, the Curtis Institute of Music is a typical nineteenth-century style, but its gate is very inconspicuous, compared to the gate of later universities in China, it is really different, but the quality of education and luxury do not seem to be proportional. After entering, Fang Monan felt quite uncomfortable, and the artistic atmosphere was strong. Auntie and Monan looked at the hardware equipped by Curtis, one apartment for one person, from the kitchen to the bathroom, it was very convenient, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's really better than my conditions at Peking University." My aunt sighed, "We are all corroded. "It's far from being comparable to the four-person and eight-person dormitories in China.
"It's not good. Didn't you see the piano department, one person moved a Steinway back to the apartment? Fang Menan said.
Because there is a musician in the family, everyone has a little bit of a well-known musical instrument brand, and Steinway pursues a tone that is almost perverted, and must go through a rigorous inspection before appearing to ensure that each Steinway piano has a unique sound. Timbre-wise, Steinway's voice is difficult to express in words, and it feels like a graceful and luxurious, very imperial voice. Whenever people hear Steinway's voice for the first time, they are all impressed by its noble temperament. Steinway's piano bass is rich, the midrange is warm and wide, and the treble is bright and gorgeous. But as far as alto is concerned, Steinway is the most outstanding, with strong appeal and expressiveness, but in Fang Menan's opinion, the most lethal is Steinway's natural imperial temperament. The price is even more staggering, and it is really 'luxury'
"Well, it's worth a lot of money," the aunt nodded, "I'm still a little worried about letting Mobei live here, it's still too small." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's close, you can come to see me often if you don't worry, I can take care of it, I'm in school every day, it's safe." Fang Mobei's words changed, "You should be more worried about my sister, we are all in school, and she is the only one left in the family during the day." ”
"yes, that's really hard." Auntie thought for a while, "That's okay, you can go to college with me during the day, and stay in the library." ”
"Oh no, I can do it alone at home." Fang Monan's hard-won alone time, how could it be gone. "Now I take care of you, I cook the food, I wash the clothes, and I clean the house."
The aunt blushed, thinking about it, in order to adapt to the college life here, she didn't take care of the children at all, and the children took care of her. "Then let's find a babysitter, this is not negotiable." The bourgeoisie is the bourgeoisie, and this can be regarded as following the local customs, and the aunt will make excuses when she arrives.
In fact, Fang Menan can also be said to go to elementary school, but that is just a fleeting thought, she is still mel, just let Andrés help, tell Stacy when she goes to the hospital today. HMEL is homeschooled, and at the end of each term, Jane needs to submit a teaching report to the Education Bureau, and the children take the exam, and as long as they pass, they can continue with Mel for the next school year.
After treating Stacey again, Fang Menan said Marry, please Andrés accompany me to the elementary school, I think Mel, it is convincing to have an adult with you. ”
"This ...... Good. Stacy wanted to refuse, but then she thought that she was too autonomous, and since she decided, it would definitely not be bad.
As Stacey expected, Andrés accompanied Fang Menan to the Education Bureau and primary school, and when going through the formalities, Fang Menan answered fluently, and there was no problem in going to middle school.
The family hired a nanny Jenny, in her forties, black, chubby aunt, in fact, she was a part-time worker, Fang Menan told her in advance not to interfere with anything with her, just clean the room, laundry, wash dishes, no need to cook. Because cooking is Fang Menan's business, she doesn't like to wash dishes.
After her aunt gradually adapted to college life, Fang Monan urged her to learn to drive and get a temporary driver's license. It is very inconvenient not to have a car, although there is no need to go out to buy rice, grain, noodles and vegetables, but you have to go out to buy daily necessities. Besides, if you don't go out to buy food all day long, you can't say no.
The written test aunt passed quickly, and during the road test, the woman's unique carefulness allowed her to pass the test smoothly. Transportation in the United States is much more complicated than in China, and the traffic rules are very strict. The main thing they tested was safety awareness, and driving skills were secondary. Because it is easy to improve driving skills, once there is no safety awareness, there will be endless troubles. This is completely different from the country. In China, it is to practice technology, ignore the rules, and ignore pedestrians -- just give gifts. China's 3 accident rate created by the number of motor vehicles in the world is 25 speaks for itself.
My aunt passed it at one time for only $50. No treats, no gifts, no cheating, no anger. This is in stark contrast to the country. I remember that in the early nineties, when my father took the driver's license test, it was 3,000 yuan, which was the result of giving gifts. In addition to Ming Zai, he also eats and takes cards layer by layer, and is angry layer by layer.
The government's arbitrary taxation is fiercer than the tiger, and the taxes of later generations are as many as cattle hairs, and they are ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, and the tax pain index of the Chinese people ranks second in the world, paying an overweight tax burden, but enjoying extremely meager benefits. There is no free lunch in the world, every benefit given to us by the government is squeezed out of our taxes, and sometimes, the common people really want to do without those "benefits" that pay lip service but do not actually come to them, and collect less taxes.
So vicious that he didn't even let go of a small driver's license, the rise of a great power or the seizure of a big power?
Getting a driver's license and actually driving on the road are two different things, getting a driver's license, the aunt happily took Fang Monan to the supermarket to buy, on the way, the dog crossing the road, the aunt was so scared that she stepped on the brakes, turned it into stepping on the accelerator, scared that the aunt let go of the steering wheel with both hands, and finally Fang Monan decisively sat on the aunt's lap, kicked her feet, stepped on the brakes, and after the car stopped, pull on the handbrake. The car is only separated from the wall by one hand, and it is very dangerous.
The car stopped, and the aunt kept breathing, "I'm scared to death, it's not just to get a driver's license, it seems that this has to be practiced well." ”
"Hey, you learned to drive." After the aunt calmed down, she asked curiously.
"It's been with you in the coach for so long, and you'll see it." Fang Monan said as a matter of course.
"I'm glad to have you." Auntie said, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable
"Just call you." Fang Mo Nandao let's go home. ”
After all, it is not every day when they go home to eat, there are many opportunities to go out to eat, and it is not too embarrassing to follow the local customs.
It's no secret that there are many lawyers in the United States, and there is a humorous story about how many years ago, several Americans, Russians, and Cubans traveled in the same train compartment. While the train was moving, the Russians took out a bottle of vodka and drank it, but threw it out of the window after a few sips. The Americans did not understand that he was wasting it, and the Russians replied that our country has the best vodka, and there is also the most vodka. There are so many that you can throw them away" The Cuban next to him was smoking a cigar, and when he saw this, he quietly threw a half-smoked cigar out of the car window. Why do Americans say this? The Cubans replied that in Cuba we have the best cigars and we have the most cigars. If you throw it away, you don't have to worry about waste. ”
The American thought about it, didn't say a word, got up and opened the window, turned his head and threw the accompanying lawyer out of the window......
The people here are not familiar with the place, and it is better to rely on them, Fang Menan asked the aunts to familiarize them with some common legal knowledge, and it is better than not fighting back after being bullied.
In the eyes of outsiders, the vast number of American lawyers mainly refers to private lawyers in the United States. The United States is a country of case law, and the law is complex, and there are many kinds of precedents. The 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, said a cautionary phrase that represents the culture of American lawyers, and we must make the law a political belief in this country. "Where there is a market, there is demand, and the most important thing is that lawyers earn a lot of money, and people scold lawyers for being unscrupulous, and they can't do without lawyers, urging their children to go to law school.
For many foreign nationals who immigrate to or visit the United States, the first person they know when they enter the United States may be a lawyer, and the last American they know when they leave the United States may also be a lawyer.
So Fang Monan helped the two of them integrate into this society as soon as possible, and every time the aunt and the two of them followed Fang Monan's instructions, they had to go home to get together, and by the way, ask her this little 'know-it-all' to solve their doubts. The main thing is to fight the tooth sacrifice and eat a good meal. After all, she has lived here for nearly ten years, with her leading the way, there are fewer detours, and the aunt curiously asked Fang Menan for her to know so much.
Fang Monan shook his fingers in an old-fashioned manner, "If you don't have knowledge, you have to master a little more common sense, if you don't have common sense, you have to watch more TV, if you don't have TV, then you can flip through magazines, and if you don't have money to buy magazines, you can read newspapers." ”
"You damn girl, you're still teaching me." The aunt stood up and chased after her. Mo Bei looked at Fang Monan and laughed.
The laughter dispelled homesickness, although they reported to their families every now and then, after all, they were far away from the Pacific Ocean. No matter how expensive it is, it can't stop them from fighting.
Curtis's teaching is very free, there are performances almost every day, the school will post performances in each hall, and the outside school will pay back the invoice, free Fang Mobei felt that he was suddenly pulled into the sea of music, almost drowned, a little over-rich, I don't know what to arrange, not to mention going to elementary school classes.
At the beginning of the entry, Mo Bei was very busy, she was not afraid of the performance, and even excited, the most terrifying thing was not these, but that she had to learn a thorough understanding of modern music history in a short time. Because from time to time, you will see those legendary characters in the academy. For example, when you get on the elevator, you can be told to wait by a certain conductor, or a master in the composition world rushes through the corridor and bumps into you.
These things should have been popularized by Renard, but fortunately he also knew a Ludwig, who was willing to popularize this knowledge for Mebe.
There will be a master or even a legend in the academy in about three or four days, so after more than a month, Mo Bei is finally full of people and will not make jokes. And Ludwig has the potential to gossip about men, and he knows everything about them, from their resumes to their anecdotes, and tells them all to Mobei. In the end, Mo Bei came to the conclusion that the masters and gods were all monsters, and the same was true of the professional mentor Andres, who were far less easy-going and kind than originally thought.
This sturdy mentor was not at all so gentle with Marish, and in the professor's class, it was not bad to describe him as a demon.
Mo Bei insisted on changing his habits to adapt to Andres's kind of cloud and mountain fog cover, and he couldn't touch the teaching method of Beibei, "It turns out that people really adapt to the environment." She took a big sip of porridge. Sister, auntie, you don't have his biological clock tuned more than the alarm clock Turin, I can't be late, I can't delay him. You and I have to go to elementary school again, sometimes I run and always sweat, this is not good, going to class is almost burning incense and bathing, and I have to take advantage of the loophole to find him. And in the class, I played the violin, and he listened to it without any expression, and then he just said that I should find someone to deal with this part, and then it was over. And next time, I didn't change it, but the result was so miserable that I called God, and my hands and feet were weak. Sometimes he was babbling, but whenever I mentioned Stacy's condition, he would be in a better mood and would kindly point out my shortcomings, and the result was that I was useless. But even if I found a knock on the door, I always learned a lot from mentioning Stacy. "Mo Bei smiled and said that the tutor is an authentic foodie, and I think if my sister goes, the treatment will be better than mine."
"Artists have the potential for neuropathy." Auntie said. "There's a fine line between a genius and a madman."
"A reasonable request is training, and an unreasonable request is a grind." Fang Monan brought out the fried small yellow croaker from the kitchen again, "Then what about you" Fang Monan brought the fried small fish from the kitchen again.
"Hey...... The effect is ok. Fang Mobei smirked, not to mention that it was okay, she saw that it was obvious progress.
"Brilliant," said the aunt, "what about the other mentors." She asked curiously.
"It's all the same." Fang Mobei smiled when she said this, "It's even ......worse than me," she nagged about what she had seen at school, which made them laugh. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to () subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
