Chapter 22: Reunion

Ding Rongrong looked up and saw Zhang Cuilian in a daze at her, thinking that she also wanted to read. got up and took out a book from under the pillow and threw it to Zhang Cuilian: "No, this is last month." Look at it! ”

Zhang Cuilian took the thin magazine and opened it, as always, there were stories that touched people's hearts and led positively.

Zhang Cuilian found the submission address, in this era, there is no network and can only rely on the most primitive methods. Handwrite the manuscript and mail it to the publisher. If you are hired, you will be sent a remittance slip back.

She is not a very gifted person, but she has one more strength than others. That is, she has read more books for 20 years than she was 20 years ago. Enough reading, all that's left is patience, perseverance, and faith.

Early the next morning, after everyone had finished freshening up. I went to the school building according to the notice, just like on the first day of every school.

Zhang Cuilian studied Chinese, Ding Rongrong studied art, and Ji Yao, the eldest lady, studied preschool education, which is exactly the same as Feng Xiaojie.

Of the other people in the dormitory, two are studying Chinese, one is studying English and the other is studying mathematics.

I don't know how it's divided, anyway, it's the same class, everyone is in different classes, but they have to live together.

Since they were different classes, Zhang Cuilian went to class with two other students from the primary education class in the dormitory. These two people were dressed very ordinary, and they also introduced each other at the dormitory meeting last night.

The tall man with dark skin is called Li Man, and the taller one is slightly shorter but has big eyes and is quite beautiful called Zhang Wei. These two people come from the same township and different villages, but they have been learning together since childhood, and they know each other very well. The two of them simply applied for the same major, which is a pair of real handkerchiefs.

Being able to learn a skill is the happiest thing for Zhang Cuilian. When others heard about her college entrance examination scores, they all regretted her experience and major. But Zhang Cuilian knew that she had long forgotten all that knowledge. If she didn't study mathematics and Chinese, if she studied chemistry and physics, it would be a slap in the face.

Moreover, she has learned Chinese and can be a class teacher in primary school in the future. This has always been what she yearns for, and it can be seen that it is not false for the ancients to say that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.

After a week of classes, several of my roommates who were close to home went home this Saturday. Strictly speaking, Zhang Cuilian is also from the city. You can go home for a weekend by taking the bus, save money for food, and watch TV dramas for two days.

But Zhang Cuilian doesn't think so, she hopes that she can have time to create in school. Write a story you've always wanted to write, in case you get paid!

After watching it for so many years, I am familiar with the classic passages I have learned. But at that time, the stories that everyone loved to read were not necessarily suitable for the two magazines they wanted to submit.

Zhang Cuilian carefully studied the style of the magazine, and according to their habits, wrote a short story called "The Daughter-in-law from the Mountain". Then I pasted an envelope with paper, bought a stamp and sent it out.

Looking at the white envelope, Zhang Cuilian couldn't help but shake her head. I was so picky that I was reluctant to buy even a serious envelope. However, according to the regulations, with the zip code, stamps, and clear addresses of both parties, it can be mailed normally.

Zhang Cuilian sold this step, as if she had turned on a switch. She knew that she was not a great writer, and she would not be so lucky to be able to make the editor look at it every time. Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, she wrote six articles with enthusiasm.

Tell yourself that there is always one that can be adopted. Then, just before class on Monday, she went out of her way to buy a large envelope. I handed in the six manuscripts that I had written later.

The manuscript that was submitted was as if it had sunk into the sea. No news! Zhang Cuilian and the others were a little discouraged, maybe their writing was too bad. So I wrote seven copies in a row, and it was hard to accept.

In the days of waiting, Zhang Cuilian still thinks about Gu Zhicheng's affairs every day. Now that he is in school, his mother Shao Hua will not let her relatives introduce her to her.

She and Gu Zhicheng are basically inseparable. But she was unwilling, she didn't want to miss this man.

One is that she really loves this man in her heart, and the other is that she must repay him well.

"Woooooo After school at noon, Zhang Cuilian, who came back from the cafeteria, found Li Man, a classmate in the dormitory, hiding his face and crying. There was a circle of classmates in the dormitory, all of whom were concerned and comforting her.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Cuilian stepped forward curiously and asked, Ding Rongrong whispered in her ear: "Just now her parents came to look for her, saying that her grandfather was sick. Hospitalized, let her help more when she is usually fine! ”

"I, I, I'm so scared! I don't know what to do! Woooooo Li Man wiped his face and said pitifully.

Ji Yao frowned, pretending to be smart and holding her waist unevenly: "That's it!" How old are we, how could this happen. Besides, you still have to go to school, isn't that what adults should do? ”

Li Man looked up stupidly: "But now the family is busy, and they are all busy working." My parents can't stay in the hospital every day, and now my uncle and uncle take turns to serve them. But the autumn harvest is coming soon, and you have to work when you sleep! ”

Ji Yao stopped talking when she heard this, Zhang Cuilian had experience in taking care of the elderly. can be heard from Li Man's tone that she is anxious in her heart and really wants to be filial to the old man.

Then he said: "Actually, you can do this, our school cafeteria is cheaper than outside." Three meals a day can be served in the school, and then it is served to the elderly in the hospital and the elders who care for them. In this way, you go to visit your grandfather every day, and it helps to reduce the burden on the family. Then you can stay in the hospital for two days on weekends, and let the family have a rest! ”

Zhang Cuilian's idea was good, and Li Man's mood was much better. She raised her head to look at Zhang Cuilian, and her voice was a little choked: "Is this really okay?" ”

Zhang Cuilian thought for a while and said to Li Man: "Otherwise, I will go with you to ask the head teacher for a leave of absence in the future." Let's go to the hospital in the afternoon, see how your grandfather's health is, and then discuss it with the family. I think your grandfather will be much relieved when he sees your filial piety! ”

Anyone can say something nice, Ji Yao secretly pursed his lips and remained silent. Ding Rongrong was on the side and glanced at Zhang Cuilian meaningfully.

Zhang Wei, who is usually good friends with Li Man, immediately patted his chest and said, "You two don't have to ask for leave, I'll talk to the head teacher in a while." If Li Man goes to the hospital every day, I will accompany you every day from now on. ”

Feng Xiaojie echoed casually: "That's it, there are so many people in our dormitory." Everyone can accompany you, and you won't get tired of changing one every day. ”

Li Man wiped his tears and thanked everyone with a smile. After a while, she followed Zhang Cuilian out of the school and walked towards the hospital.

After leaving the school gate, Zhang Cuilian remembered: "Which hospital is your grandfather in?" ”

Li Man thought for a while: "Third Courtyard, how is it, is it far from here?" ”

Zhang Cuilian thought about it, but it was actually not far away. The walk was only about twenty minutes at most, and in order to save money, the two of them strode towards the hospital without saying anything.

While walking, Li Man sighed: "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have been dizzy and would not have been able to find anyone who could not distinguish between the southeast and the north." Do you often come to the city? ”

Zhang Cuilian wants to say, what opportunities are there. If it weren't for the twenty years of life in the afterlife, who would have remembered this?

She only smiled and said, "I've seen the map, and I'm just a little impressed." ”

After arriving at the hospital, Li Man was still a little timid. Zhang Cuilian had no choice but to go to the nurse's station to ask. I found the inpatient department, and then went to find Li Man's grandfather according to the patient's name.

“312？ Oh yes, thanks! Zhang Cuilian went through a lot of hardships, and finally found the real ward from Li Man's half-understood name.

The moment she saw her grandfather, Li Manwa burst into tears. And Zhang Cuilian secretly hammered her calf, she was really tired of running all the way!

Li Man's grandfather had a heart attack, but it wasn't very serious. It's just that I'm tired from doing farm work at home, and I haven't slept well for the past few days and fainted. But because of his age, he doesn't pay attention to taking care of his body. His body was so weak that he could only stay in the hospital for a while to recuperate.

Fortunately, the Li family has a very good family style, although Li Man's parents have gone out to live. But the old man is sick, and everyone is very filial if they have money to contribute or not.

Li Man's parents not only have to work on their own one-third of an acre of land at home, but also work for Li Man's grandfather's land. Not only that, Li Man's grandfather and grandmother are still alive. The daily eating and drinking of the elderly are also taken care of by Li Man's parents.

Therefore, he did not take turns with Li Man's other elders to serve the old man on a daily basis. Feeling guilty, Li's father found his daughter who was studying in the city, and repeatedly asked her to take care of her sick grandfather when she was not busy.

Li Man's father is not good at words and does not know what the condition is, and Li Man is a cranky girl. The two of them didn't communicate enough, so they made a big oolong. Everyone thought that there was a big problem with Li Man's grandfather's body, and Li Man himself was sweating.

came to visit the old man, after Zhang Cuilian fulfilled the courtesy. Finding that there were a lot of people in this ward, she consciously went to the corridor to wait for Li Man.

"Twenty years ago, the Third House was like this! It's really broken! Zhang Cuilian muttered to herself as she looked at the half-meter-high blue paint on the walls of the corridor and the slag hinges on the wooden merchants.

How did she remember this? Zhang Cuilian secretly wondered, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind. Back then, Gu Zhicheng said that he had lived well in the military and district hospitals.

Because the third hospital is very close to home, it is convenient for the family to take care of him, so he was transferred here.

Zhang Cuilian pinched her fingers and calculated, if she was lucky. At this time, Gu Zhicheng should be in the Third Courtyard!

Thinking of this, Zhang Cuilian trembled with excitement. She found the nurse and couldn't help but be excited: "Nurse, I want to ask." Where is the orthopedic ward? ”

The nurse frowned and couldn't help but sarcastically: "Why are the family so happy when they are hospitalized?" On the ground floor! ”

Zhang Cuilian nodded, and ran downstairs. When she got to the first floor, she searched room to room and didn't see Gu Zhicheng.

I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, isn't Gu Zhicheng here?
