Tian Tian is not someone who would let herself be wronged, and she is not short of money now. On the first day she arrived, she went to the school boiler room and bought a lot of coal. The honeycomb coal was piled in a corner of the room. When the stove went out, she could put a piece of it in. It was quite convenient.
"And this is for you too!" Gu Zhao took out another small medicine box and said.
"What?" Tian Tian glanced at it and found it was a medicine box. She turned her head away immediately. "Medicine? I don't want it. I'm not sick. Why do I need medicine?"
Tian Tian is in very good health. Over the years, except for one or two colds, she has not had any other serious illnesses or minor illnesses. She is really unfamiliar with medicine.
"This is not medicine, this is a lozenge. Listen to how hoarse your throat is now. When you are a teacher, the voice is the most important thing. Take this lozenge and put it in your mouth for a while when you have nothing to do. It can also relieve the fatigue of your throat. Except when you are teaching, try not to talk in your daily life. Drink more hot water, and I will get some honeysuckle and sterculia lychnophora for you to soak!" Gu Zhao helplessly slapped the lozenge in his hand into Tiantian's hand, and then gave a lot of instructions.
"Chalk is not a good thing. It is easy to inhale it into the lungs, which is not good for the body. Eat more black fungus when you eat. It can clear the lungs and is good for the body."
Gu Zhao said all these words out of concern for Tian Tian. Tian Tian nodded and carefully wrote down everything he said.
Tian Tian also knew that many teachers would have problems with their throats. After all, the class lasted more than 40 minutes and they had to talk all the time. Sometimes, the students were a little naughty and didn't listen in class, so you had to use the strain of your voice to suppress them. Plus, chalk is really not a good thing and it can easily accumulate in the lungs.
As far as Tian Tian knows, many teachers suffer from pharyngitis. Tian Tian is also very worried about this matter. These days she has been thinking about how she should protect her throat.
She seemed to have seen it vaguely, saying that when speaking, try not to use the vocal cords to speak, that is, learn to sing, so as to use the abdomen and dantian to speak, which will be better for the throat.
But for Tian Tian, as a tone-deaf person, she really didn't know how to use her abdominal cavity to generate force, so she decided to study it carefully in the future.
"Okay, I've remembered all this. I'll be careful next time. Aren't you under a tight schedule at work? You should go back quickly so as not to delay your work. The earlier you go back, the earlier you can rest after you're done!" Tian Tian urged Gu Zhao to go back quickly.
Although Tian Tian was a little reluctant, she still hoped that Gu Zhao could go back early and finish his work so that she could rest earlier.
"Then I'll go back first." Gu Zhao was still a little reluctant.
"I may not be able to come over these few days, so call me if you need anything."
After this separation, Gu Zhao may not have time to come over for a long time. The CNC machine tools they are researching have just started, and they also have to conduct tests during this period. They cannot spare much time, so they can only wait until this period is over before coming to see Tian Tian.
However, Tian Tian had just come to teach in high school and she still needed to adapt to everything. Gu Zhao was worried again. What if something happened to Tian Tian? This would be the time when Gu Zhao was needed. However, Gu Zhao was not with Tian Tian, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"I have something to do. Even if you have time, I may not have it. I'm new here and there are not many English teachers in our school. So I will be very busy during class time. I only have Saturday and Sunday to rest. During these two days, when I have a rest, I will come to you and we can have a meal together or something!" Tian Tian said.
Although a class only has two English classes a week, which sounds like too few, there are many classes in their school. She looked at her schedule for tomorrow. There are three classes, plus some miscellaneous things, so the day will be gone. She goes back to the dormitory every night and certainly doesn't want to go out. She just wants to rest in the dormitory and won't want to look for Gu Zhao.
Now Tian Tian feels like she is going to school. She wants to finish writing all the lesson plans before leaving get off work so that she will have nothing to do after get off work.
"Okay, it's Monday now, and there are four days until Saturday and Sunday. I will come to find you then!" Tian Tian looked at Gu Zhao's depressed look and comforted him.
Gu Zhao nodded. Tian Tian's job gives her time off on Saturdays and Sundays, but Gu Zhao's job is that he has nothing to do when he is free, and has no time to rest when he is busy. He wishes he could live in the office all day long.
Gu Zhao felt even worse when he thought that he would not be able to spend much time with Tian Tian for a long time in the future.
"If you had called me in advance, I would have known you were coming and I would have gone out to look for you." Knowing in advance that Tian Tian was coming, he could have arranged some things. Otherwise, he might not have been able to find time so quickly to accompany Tian Tian for dinner.
"Okay, I'll call you in advance when the time comes!" Tian Tian said.
Gu Zhao glanced at his watch. It was indeed getting late, so he had to hurry over.
He reluctantly said to Tian Tian: "I really have to leave this time."
Tian Tian couldn't stand Gu Zhao's nagging. She used to think Gu Zhao was a straightforward person. Why did he become like this now?
"You should leave quickly. It's not like we have to part forever. You're just going to work. We'll see each other on Saturday." Tian Tian helplessly pushed Gu Zhao to the bicycle shed.
"Bye! I'm going upstairs first, you go quickly!" Tian Tian didn't want to stand downstairs to see Gu Zhao off, so she simply turned around and went upstairs.
Tian Tian was gone, and Gu Zhao had no way to stay here any longer, so he pushed his bicycle back to his unit very quickly.
Friday came in a blink of an eye, and the week was finally over. When Tian Tian returned home in the evening, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had never felt that a week was so long.
Tian Tian is so busy all day that her voice is already hoarse after only one week of classes.
She poured herself a cup of water with Sterculia lychnophora in it and drank it all. She felt her throat was no longer so tight and let out a long sigh. She lay on the bed and rested for a while. She remembered that she hadn't seen Gu Zhao for four days and planned to go out for dinner with Gu Zhao tomorrow. She ran downstairs and called Gu Zhao.
After agreeing that the two of them would have dinner together tomorrow night, Tian Tian ran up and took out the lunch box that contained the sweet and sour pork ribs, and would give it to Gu Zhao tomorrow. She also counted out some money and bills, and planned to go to the department store tomorrow to have a look. Gu Zhao gave her a watch, so she should also give Gu Zhao something.
She plans to go to the department store today to see if there is anything she can buy for Gu Zhao?
After Tian Tian packed up all her things, she took the basin, went out to wash up, and went to bed.
There was no class on Saturday, so Tiantian didn’t get up too early. She wanted to stay in bed for a while, but her body’s biological clock had made her accustomed to it, and she woke up naturally at the right time.
She originally wanted to lie in bed for a while longer, but feeling the cold air in the room, she resigned herself to her fate and got out of bed while the room was not so cold, putting on the clothes and pants she had been wearing all night.
After getting up, she put a piece of honeycomb coal in the stove, then went out with a basin of water to wash her face. When she opened the door, she happened to run into Zhou Yang who was also going out with the basin. Tian Tian greeted her.
When the two of them were washing their faces in the sink, Zhou Yang said, "Today is Saturday, and we don't have to go to work. Do you want to go out for dinner together?"
She was very nervous when she thought about saying this. She called her mother last night, and her mother told her to get along well with her colleagues and other older people. Zhou Yang felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking that Tian Tian, who was about her age, lived next door, Zhou Yang finally mustered up the courage to talk to Tian Tian.
The two of them knew each other on the first day back to school. However, they didn't have much time to spend together that day. Tian Tian had classes almost every day, and she and Zhou Yang were not in the same office, so they could only see each other once a day, in the morning and in the evening. Sometimes Tian Tian got up early and Zhou Yang came back to pack up early, so they didn't see each other in the morning and evening, so the two of them were not particularly familiar with each other.
"Eat? Sure!" Tian Tian agreed, "Let's go eat at noon. I have to go to the department store this afternoon and I have to accompany my boyfriend tonight!"
Hearing Tian Tian's agreement, Zhou Yang immediately became happy, "I can go to the department store with you this afternoon. I haven't been to a department store since I came here!"
Zhou Yang lives in a city next to the provincial capital. His family is well off, but this is his first time in the provincial capital and he hasn't gone out for a walk this week.
"Okay!" Tian Tian agreed happily.
Two girls going shopping together will only make her happier than going alone. Compared to going alone, she would rather Zhou Yang accompany her.
