10. Wisdom teeth

Su Ran was queuing up to hand over the card not far from the community, and when she was about to go back to her residence after finishing it, the phone rang, and she picked up the phone and saw that it was Shao Yajun calling, and she immediately had mixed feelings. She answered the phone and whispered: Hey, Yajun, is that you? There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and then her voice came and said: Su Ran, it's me, how are you now? Her voice was slightly hoarse on the phone. Su Ran said: It's good, I just came to Shanghai, and now I live here with my classmates temporarily. What about you, how are you now, how about being pregnant? Shao Yajun thought that she was alone in Shanghai, and her heart was sour, and her tears fell again. Say: I'm fine, you take care of yourself. She suddenly remembered one thing, so she said: I still remember the first heavy snow that year, and we both remembered it wrongly, not from the old lady's noodle shop, but from the Western restaurant, and we all remembered it wrong. Su Ran was in a trance, and then said: "Yes, we are all wrong, why is your voice hoarse, pay attention to your body!" The two of them had thousands of words, but they said that they were all right, and they didn't know where to start, so they hung up the phone. Su Ran recalled the heavy snowfall again, fluttering and sprinkling, like frosting, such a wonderful and extreme night, the land covered in silver, and even the street lamps were beautiful. I actually remembered it all wrong, what else was wrong? Yajun already has a new life, just know that each other is fine, don't think about it.

When it was close to noon, she felt hungry, she found a restaurant nearby, the restaurant was not big, she asked for a fish head cake, when eating the cake, she suddenly felt that a piece of the tooth in it was missing, and she had two wisdom teeth in the innermost. It's been years and it's never hurt. Since this time, her right wisdom tooth has often hurt, there is a wormhole in it, and she will take some ibuprofen when it hurts at first, but once the strength of ibuprofen has passed, the pain in the second half of the night makes her sit on pins and needles, turning over and over. Li Li asked her: What's wrong with you, can't you sleep, tossing and turning, are you uncomfortable? She said: toothache. Li Li said: Take some painkillers. She didn't want to eat continuously, but the pain made her really unbearable, and she was afraid of disturbing Li Li's sleep. I had to see the dentist tomorrow, got up and took ibuprofen again, and after the medicine worked, she fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up, Li Li had already gone to work. She looked at her slightly swollen face on the right side in front of the mirror, she called Li Li to ask if there was a dentist nearby, and Li Li sent a text message with the phone number and location.

She took the bus for two stops, found the dental position given to her by Li Li, and entered the door is a medium-sized but very standardized dentistry, which should be fully equipped, and when she entered the door, the front desk nurse asked: Hello, do you have an appointment? Su Ran said: No, I have a terrible toothache, I want to come and see. She looked up at all the disposable disinfectants, drug breakdowns, and prices posted on the wall. The nurse said: Do you pay for it yourself or take medical insurance? Su Ran said: At your own expense. Another nurse took her into a room, and a male doctor came in. Wearing a white lab coat and a mask. Only one pair of eyes were left outside. He said, "What's wrong with you, there's something wrong with you." His voice sounded very comfortable, Mandarin with a slight southern accent, and he spoke very slowly. Su Ran said: "The wisdom tooth on the far back on the right has a wormhole, which is very painful. The doctor motioned for her to lie down and began to disinfect her, checking. After reading it, I said: wisdom teeth are redundant teeth of people, I suggest you remove them, otherwise it will often be clogged, often inflamed, and you will have repeated pain. Su Ran finished gargling the disinfected mouthwash. Q: Doesn't tooth extraction hurt nerves? The old people say that it is better not to have the original tooth extracted. The doctor patiently said: Your nerves have been injured, and it is not good to rely on painkillers for pain, like antibiotics, try to eat as little painkillers as possible, and my two wisdom teeth have been extracted. It's okay, nothing will matter. As he spoke, he took off his mask, he was very white, and because of the whiteness, his lips were redder than those of ordinary men. The eyes are single eyelids, the tips of the eyes are a little up, and the nose is high. He's good-looking. He showed her where the tooth had been extracted and said, "It's okay, don't worry, look at my teeth." "Maybe because he doesn't smoke, the doctor's teeth are very white. She nodded and said, "Then I'll pull it out too." The doctor said, "Then you have to get rid of the inflammation first." If the inflammation goes down, you can pull it out. Before she left, the doctor gave him a business card, his name was Zhou Yang. Please come by and call the front desk in advance to make an appointment.

I called to make an appointment before going for the second time, this is the second time I saw Zhou Yang, when I pulled out the teeth, she couldn't stand the pain when she was injected with anesthetic, because it was tooth decay, and it was over in less than twenty minutes, Zhou Yang stuffed her with cotton wool. said: "I can only take liquid food for the first two days, and I take anti-inflammatory drugs for a week, and after a week, I am basically fine." If you feel uncomfortable these days, call at any time, are you new to Shanghai? I always see you coming alone. Su Ran smiled and said, "I have just been here for less than ten days, and I am temporarily staying with my classmates. Zhou Yang sent her to the door, and she thanked her and left.

Su Ran went to a real estate company to apply for a job, and because she had work experience in an insurance company, she was accepted. The next thing is to work hard, the company is not close to where you live. I have to take nearly 20 bus stops to work every day, and I have to reverse the bus on the way. I have to get up at six o'clock every day, and after washing, Li Li and she almost get up at this point and go to the company. At first, the days were difficult, every day with leaflets on the road one by one, followed by the old employees to set up a table in the community to promote business. When I first came to the company as a rookie, I watched more, learned more, and listened more. There are mostly men in the company, and women generally can't endure this hardship. Wake up so early and go back so late every day. To do this industry, you must remember the road and the listing. Communicate with customers and follow up. To gain trust, all sales rules are universal, which is not difficult for Su Ran. It's just that everything is starting from scratch, she has taken out the energy of her previous work, learned quickly, and communicated with customers very well. The male colleagues in the company were impressed with her, and when she signed an order in the second month of work, although it was not a big order, it was also an encouragement to her.

She went back to her residence and waited for Li Li to come back, she smiled and said: Li Li, please have dinner and drink tonight, I opened today. Li Li also smiled and said: "You, what is not in the pool, sooner or later will shine, sooner or later." You are very motivated in everything you do, and in Shanghai, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will have opportunities. Su Ran and Li Li came to the restaurant and asked for a few stir-fries and a few bottles of beer. The two of them shared the problems they encountered at work and encouraged each other. Su Ran said: "I want to move when I stabilize and get closer to the company, I'm too tired to run around, and that's what I do, and I look for a building next to the company to share with someone, and I can sleep more in the morning." Li Li said: "It's okay, you can decide for yourself." ”

After Su Ran extracted the right wisdom tooth, she was used to chewing food on one side, and she found that after a long time, both sides of the face were big and small, Li Li laughed at her and said that it was a psychological effect. She insisted on extracting the wisdom teeth that were not broken here, she dialed Zhou Yang's phone, and she said: "Doctor Zhou, I am Su Ran, the wisdom tooth that was extracted last time, I want to remove the left one, can you arrange a time for me?" The other end of the phone said, "Oh, remember to remember, your recognition is still very high, isn't your left side good, does it hurt too?" Su Ran said: "No, it's just that I always use it while eating, and I feel that one side has a big face and a small face." Haha". Zhou Yang said: "You girls just love beauty, that's good, how about the day after tomorrow, two o'clock in the afternoon." The next day, Su Ran asked the company for half a day off, her hair was scattered because she was washed, unlike the usual tie, her hair was already up to her waist, she changed into comfortable casual clothes, and wore a pair of travel shoes to the dentist. Seeing that Zhou Yang happened to be at the door, Zhou Yang said casually: It looks good when the hair is scattered, Su Ran smiled. Zhou Yang asked casually: Haven't you asked where you are from? Su Ran said: "Northerners. Zhou Yang said: I am from the south and have been here for two years. Are you at work now? Su Ran said: I went to work, in Dingxin Real Estate, the one next to Tianyuan Shopping. Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I live over there, my aunt's house, she went abroad, and I live there." ”

After the two finished speaking, they entered the ward, this time the tooth extraction was not as fast as last time, Zhou Yang and two nurses together, one with the medicine, the other dragged the chin, Zhou Yang used a medical hammer to repeatedly collide Su Ran's teeth to loosen the teeth, and the anesthetic strength had passed. Su Ran couldn't stand the pain, and looked at Zhou Yang for help, Zhou Yang comforted her and said, it's almost good, hold on. Forty minutes later, the tooth was finally pulled out. There were a few stitches in the wound. Zhou Yang said: "Because this tooth is too strong, it is more difficult, and you are also in pain, go back and take anti-inflammatory drugs for a week, and call me in time if you are not feeling well." Su Ran stuffed a cotton wool in her mouth, and she would bleed from time to time, so she could only squeeze out a smile and nodded, and Zhou Yang watched her back go out.

After extracting the teeth, Su Ran went to work one day later, and he actually ran into Zhou Yang when he was distributing a leaflet in the community next to him, Zhou Yang looked at Su Ran, who was dressed in professional clothes, from the car, with a high ponytail and stepping on a pair of five or six centimeter high heels, and couldn't help but smile when he looked at her serious expression when he handed out flyers. Zhou Yang rolled down the window and said: It's good to go to work, Su Ran, do your teeth still hurt! Su Ran smiled and said, "Doctor Zhou, hello, my teeth are fine, and I am taking anti-inflammatory drugs." Why didn't you go to work today? Zhou Yang said: "I go to work at two o'clock in the afternoon and come back at noon to rest." It's so close, there's time to eat together. Su Ran smiled and said, "Okay, but I have to wait for ten days and a half months before I can open up to eat, okay, you go to work, talk another day." ”

Su Ran dragged her tired body into the car a few times, and it was already late when she went back, and she felt like she was falling apart. She asked Li Li, who also returned late: Is it that many migrant workers in Shanghai are in such a state of life as us, that they have to delay for two or three hours on the road a day, leaving early and returning late. Li Li said: Yes, don't say that we haven't gone to college, even if we have gone to college, in order to save rent, don't we still have to live a little bit to save rent, don't those who engage in IT also laugh at themselves for being IT migrant workers, get up early, and stay up late to work overtime. It's no different. She also said: Women of our age either get married, honestly teach their husbands and children at home, and let their husbands raise them. Either fight in the workplace, of course, we chose the latter. Choosing the latter means that we, like men, show our heads and overcome obstacles. In the workplace, the little sheep can't survive, and they have to cast themselves into copper and iron bones, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, not afraid of white eyes, not afraid of rejection. Look at things from a man's point of view, don't think of yourself as a woman, so that you have nothing to fear. Su Ran laughed after hearing this, and then said: "Every word is fine, and the needle is to the point!" ”
