As a river snail spirit, Tian Tian survived in the apocalypse by relying on her river snail shell. Who knew that a bomb would fall from the sky when she went out, blasting her to the 1970s.
T...
The next day after the meal, Zhao Chunxian suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. She didn't dare go to bed and sat there all day.
"You ate too well yesterday. There wasn't much oil in your stomach before, and suddenly you ate so much meat, and your stomach couldn't take it." Tian Tian handed two pills to Zhao Chunxian.
"This is medicine for diarrhea. Try taking it. If it doesn't work, we have to go to the infirmary."
In the second year of the apocalypse, many things had begun to deteriorate. Tian Tian often had diarrhea after eating, so she took this medicine, which was extremely effective and cured her immediately.
Tian Tian hasn't had diarrhea since she came here. Plus, this medicine has been out of date for many years and has expired. Tian Tian doesn't know if it will work.
"It will definitely work." Zhao Chunxian took the medicine and swallowed it in one breath. Worried about going to the infirmary and spending money, she quickly said: "It's not a big deal. I just ate too much. I'll be fine after I poop out everything I ate."
After saying that, Zhao Chunxian still felt a little uncomfortable and sneered, "I really can't eat good things. I finally got to eat meat, but I ended up having diarrhea. It was all in vain. Fortunately, today is not the time for class, otherwise, diarrhea would have delayed things a lot."
"Look at what you said! You haven't eaten meat for a long time, and your stomach can't take it if you suddenly eat something too oily. After you get better, eat some oily food first, little by little." Tian Tian began to comfort Zhao Chunxian.
Zhao Chunxian would send food and money back home every month. She would only keep ten kilograms of food and eat very sparingly every day, just enough to keep herself from starving to death.
Even the vegetables we ate were the cheapest boiled cabbage, which could not be eaten with any oil at all. It would be strange if we did not have diarrhea after eating such an oily food out of the blue.
"I hope so!" Zhao Chunxian sighed, her face suddenly changed, she grabbed the toilet paper on the table and ran to the bathroom with a painful look on her face.
Tian Tian sighed, poured some hot water into the cup on Zhao Chunxian's desk, then packed up and prepared to go to the library for a while.
Fortunately, Zhao Chunxian had a strong recovery ability, and this time the diarrhea was not too serious. She recovered after a day of diarrhea.
Zhao Chunxian didn't eat the whole day because she had diarrhea.
Now that she was finally well, Zhao Chunxian hurried downstairs to buy a cornmeal pancake and also bought a small stir-fried dish, which was also stir-fried cabbage, but it was much better than boiled cabbage, and she ate it happily.
After finishing the meal, Zhao Chunxian said to Tian Tian with satisfaction: "It's still more comfortable to eat this dish. Places like restaurants are still not suitable for me."
Tian Tian couldn't stop laughing after hearing this. This sentence itself didn't make any sense, but Zhao Chunxian still had an accent, and this accent combined with this sentence made it particularly funny.
One week, Gu Zhao brought Tian Tian home, and Gu Xingshu took out all the new tapes he had found and gave them to Tian Tian. Tian Tian was even happier looking at those tapes.
But I also felt a little ashamed in my heart. It is so difficult to find English tapes now, and I have no way to learn it well.
But she knew pure English in her previous life, and you can find it all on the Internet, whether it is British or American accent, without any effort.
But Tian Tian just doesn't take English seriously. She learns English just to get a certificate. She is very good at answering written questions, but she can't say anything when asked to speak. It's just pure dumb English. Fortunately, she didn't think of taking advantage of such a convenient opportunity to learn it well.
Now, in this era of scarce learning materials, it is difficult to even find English tapes, but she now knows how to practice her spoken English seriously, listening to tapes every day and correcting her pronunciation one by one.
"Thank you, Grandpa Gu. These tapes really helped me a lot. I'll have to trouble you to find these tapes for me. There are so few English tapes now and they are so hard to find. You must have put a lot of effort in finding these." Tian Tian said gratefully.
"It's okay!" Gu Xingshu smiled nonchalantly, "You kids, you don't have access to these things, so it's hard to find them. I teach at a university, I know a lot of people, so I have ways to get these things, it won't bother me much, I'll ask someone to record a copy of these English tapes, I'm glad it can help you! You have to learn English well, there will definitely be many places that need you in the future, you students, your future is definitely limitless! You should practice your spoken English well, in the future! You have to be able to communicate with others skillfully, there are many opportunities waiting for you."
Gu Xingshu pointed his pipe at Tian Tian and spoke in a suggestive manner.
Before Xingshu, no one in his team smoked at all. There was no conditions, life was a bit hard, and they would never think of smoking.
Now that Gu Xingshu's health has almost recovered and he doesn't have to worry about whether he can have meals every day, he picked up the cigarette again.
However, Gu Xingshu did not smoke without restraint every day. He would light his pipe and take a puff whenever he felt like it.
"Yes! We must study hard. After all, studying was so difficult in the past. Now we finally have the opportunity to study, and we will definitely not waste this opportunity." Tian Tian could naturally understand the meaning of Gu Xingshu's words. In a few years, China's economy has developed rapidly and has had more contact with foreign countries. The prospects for English will definitely get better and better.
Gu Xingshu nodded in agreement, "Yes! There are still many people who want to study but don't have the opportunity."
"From what Grandpa Gu said, it seems that your English is pretty good!" Tian Tian said with a smile.
"I'm not good at English. I only learned English in college, but I didn't need it when I was working. Plus, I forgot English a long time ago during those years in the countryside. At most, I only remember those little tricks that the teacher told us when I was learning English." Gu Xingshu shook his head and said.
When he was in school, English classes were required. In addition to English classes, he also had to learn Japanese classes. Due to the history of the city he lived in, his Japanese was even better than his English. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he dared not bring up this matter again and just pretended that he had never learned Japanese.
As for the matter of English, it is also a matter of seeing that the country is recovering little by little. In addition, Tian Tian, his close junior, also majored in English, so he talked about it. Otherwise, he would pretend that he knew nothing.
The truth is that he had suffered too much in those years and his family was almost broken up. These experiences forced him to be cautious.
He made a great decision to help Tian Tian.
"Ever since Tian Tian came here, my grandfather hasn't paid any attention to me. It's as if I, his eldest grandson, was picked up from outside." Gu Zhao said with a smile as he brought up the tea.
"What you said is true. Don't we see each other every day? You live here and have grown up here. Tian Tian is a newcomer and comes here to study alone. She doesn't have any relatives or acquaintances. Only a few of us can be close to her, and you are still doing this!" Gu Xingshu said seriously.
Tian Tian's family took care of him so much, both openly and secretly. If it weren't for Tian Tian's family, he might not have been able to return to Shengjing alive.
So he could only try his best to help Tian Tian and take care of her.
But Tian Tian is a relatively independent person. He handles school and life matters very well on his own and doesn't need them at all.
Gu Xingshu thought that Tian Tian was a student majoring in English, but English tapes were hard to come by, so he specially made some tapes for Tian Tian. That was all he could do.
Gu Zhao was not angry after being scolded by his grandfather. He smiled and sat beside him, "I'm not jealous. I just want to tell you that I am here in school, and I will never let Tian Tian suffer any loss!"
Gu Xingshu's expression finally looked better.
As they were talking, the door of Gu Zhao's house opened. Tian Tian turned around and found a woman with a gentle temperament and very fair skin standing at the door.
"Mom! Are you back?" When Gu Zhao saw the woman, he quickly stood up and took the things in the woman's hand.
