Chapter 522 The Child Has Teeth
Qingxian Xincheng County Hospital was put into use in July. It is almost June and the hospital has entered the training stage.
The power system, network system and information system of Qingxian Xincheng County Hospital were all built by Zhou Jing's company. Zhou Jing had to pay attention to it. He called the technical personnel dispatched by Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. Tangdu Branch to the county hospital for guidance, and Zhou Jing drove to Xincheng.
All the power projects and software systems of various units in Qingxian New City were undertaken by Zhou Jing's company. The total project amount exceeded 300 million yuan, which played a very important role in the rapid development of Zhou Jing's company. As the hospital is about to be put into use, the software systems of other units have passed acceptance.
"Mr. Zhou."
"Mr. Zhou."
Technical staff from Bowei Network and Chuangzhi Technology Tangdu Branch were waiting for Zhou Jing on the main road outside the hospital.
"Is everything going well?"
Zhou Jing pulled over and got out of the car and said.
"It went smoothly. We will arrange training for each department to familiarize themselves with the information system starting on June 2."
"Nothing is trivial in a hospital. All emergency plans must be explained clearly and the hospital staff must be guided in rehearsals."
Zhou Jing nodded and walked towards the hospital.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou."
The person responsible for providing technical guidance to the hospital followed Zhou Jing.
"Are you used to living here?"
Zhou Jing looked at the software technician of Chuangzhi Technology's Tangdu branch and said.
"I'm used to it. The climate here is quite cool."
"."
When he arrived at the hospital, Zhou Jing inspected the power facilities accompanied by his company's technicians. The hospital was training doctors and medical staff, and hurried figures in white coats could be seen everywhere.
"Zhou Jing?"
A young man in a white coat came towards him, stopped and looked at Zhou Jing in surprise.
"Hokkon?"
Zhou Jing stood there in a daze for a moment before recognizing the other person and extending his hand. He was a junior high school classmate. They didn't have much contact before, but they started to keep in touch more after they reunited at the wedding of another junior high school classmate in their previous life.
When Zhou Jing was in school, he was a bit of a loner and had few friends. After graduating from university and experiencing the complexity of society, he began to pay attention to interpersonal communication. Classmates from all walks of life are all resources, and you never know when they may need help.
"You still remember my name. I heard you are doing well. Is the Xincheng project done by your company?"
Huo Kang stretched out his hands and held Zhou Jing's hands. He did not let go immediately and kept holding them.
"We worked on the electrical engineering and software systems." Zhou Jing glanced at the employees behind him and said, "You guys go get busy first."
"That's amazing. Are you busy now?"
Huo Kang let go of Zhou Jing's hand, feeling deeply moved that his junior high school classmate had become so successful.
"Not busy, do you know anyone in the hospital?"
"There was a student in another class your father taught in the first grade of junior high school. He went to Experimental Middle School for high school. His name was Guo Zhuan. Do you remember him?"
Huo Kang thought for a moment and said.
"Remember, if you have her contact information, give her a call. If you have time, let's have dinner together after get off work."
Zhou Jing had some impression of Guo Zhuan. Zhou Jing was poor at English. When Zhou Jing was in high school, Guo Zhuan often took the initiative to correct the words Zhou Jing read incorrectly during morning reading.
"Row."
Huo Kang took out his cell phone and called Guo Zhuan.
Seeing that Huo Kang was using an Ideal mobile phone, Zhou Jing thought that Huo Kang must have also bought an Ideal Bluetooth speaker.
After Huo Kang finished the call and exchanged contact information, they each went about their own business. Zhou Jing went to look for the company's employees. During the hospital training period, get off work ended at 4 o'clock, so Zhou Jing and his classmates agreed to meet outside the hospital.
"Wow, Zhou Jing is getting more and more handsome."
As soon as they met, Guo Zhuan felt his eyes sparkling.
"She could have made a living with her looks but she is so talented. How embarrassing for us."
Huo Kang: There is no harm without comparison.
"It's not as prestigious to make a living by your looks as it is to make a living by your talent, isn't that right, Mr. Zhou?"
Guo Zhuan said with a smile.
"How can you save face in society? By the way, what department do you belong to in the hospital?"
Zhou Jing said with a smile.
"I'm just a nurse."
Guo Zhuan sighed.
"I am not as good as a nurse, helping out in the dental department."
"They are all angels in white. The dental department is very good. It's not bad to work on your own after accumulating a few years of experience in the hospital. However, you have to go to a bigger city to work on your own. The hospitals here are better."
Zhou Jing has great respect for the profession of doctor.
"That's right. If I studied dentistry, I wouldn't go back to my hometown and develop in Tangdu."
Guo Zhuan agreed.
"Let's try it first!"
Huo Kang's family is not well off, and it would cost a lot of money for him to open a dental clinic on his own.
After finding the car, Zhou Jing first opened the passenger door and the rear door.
"As expected of the boss, this is the first time I've ridden in such an expensive car. I saw Zhou Jing on Tangdu News a while ago. He bought an Ideal phone specifically for this. Is this made by the company you invested in or your own company?"
Guo let Huo Kang sit in the front passenger seat and he sat in the back, then he took out a cell phone from his bag and said.
"I bought one too. Is this phone and Bluetooth speaker made by your company?"
Huo Kang couldn't believe it and took out his cell phone.
"Well, the smartphone will be released in September. Try the test machine and give me some feedback."
Zhou Jing took out two Ideal smartphones from the truck bed and gave them to Huo Kang and Guo Zhuan to try out.
“The Bluetooth speaker feature is really useful.”
"This smartphone is much better than my sister's Samsung. It responds very quickly."
"."
After inviting the two classmates to dinner, it was still early, so Zhou Jing went to Kaiyuan Internet Cafe. His uncle was also there. Zhou Jing chatted with his uncle for a while and then went home.
"Did you eat outside? Who did you eat with?"
Wu Suqin and Zhou Guozhong were having dinner at home, and Wu Suqin said to her son.
"I ran into two junior high school classmates in the hospital, Huo Kang and Guo Zhuan. Dad, do you remember them?"
Zhou Jing didn’t have enough to eat outside, so he sat down to eat something more.
"Remember, they both work at the county hospital?"
I basically remember all the students Zhou Guozhong has taught.
Zhou Jing said: "Huo Kang is in the dental department, and Guo Zhuan is a nurse."
"One of my former students has been transferred to Xinxian Hospital and is now the chief surgeon. Guo Zhuan left his phone number for me to talk to when I have time."
Zhou Guozhong tries his best to help his students. Working as a nurse in a hospital without connections is not only hard, but it is also unknown when one can succeed. If one has connections, one can get promoted by two years less.
"Row."
“Are all aspects of the hospital project okay?”
Wu Suqin has been worried about her son for more than a year. The new city is such a big project, and the county hospital is so complicated that any problem could affect people's lives. "It was accepted after going through the county, city, and province level inspections. I didn't use any connections. It passed the inspection, which means there are no problems."
Zhou Jing would not do anything like cutting corners or taking shortcuts. Even if he loses money on a project due to a budget error, he would not cheat to save costs.
"That's good. When doing business, you must remember what money you can make and what you can't make."
Wu Suqin instructed her son.
"I know."
“Where do companies in Yushi do big projects?”
Zhou Guozhong looked at his son and said.
"Yushi College, there is a project at a chemical factory in Jinzhen. I am undecided whether to take it. I will go to Yushi tomorrow to learn about the production situation of that chemical factory."
Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao were unable to spare the time to supervise the work personally and were reluctant to take on the chemical plant project. However, as the only qualified company in the local area, they would have to give the project to companies from other areas.
Wu Suqin said: "Try not to do chemical plant projects."
"As long as it is managed strictly, it will be fine."
After dinner, Zhou Jing took a shower, went to the bedroom, turned on the computer to do work. With Gu Jia staying in BJ, Zhou Jing did not need to worry about the management matters of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., and he could handle technical issues remotely. Now the affairs of Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. were more important. Chuangzhi Technology focused on software, while Ideal Technology focused on hardware. Hardware technology was the company's weak point.
After taking a quick look at the work report of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., Zhou Jing read the parts that needed signature and then sent a message to Gu Jia asking her to sign on his behalf tomorrow. He then had a video chat with Gu Jia via QQ.
"Zhou Zhou, look who this handsome guy is."
Gu Jia appears on camera holding her child.
"Hello, whose child is so cute?"
Zhou Jing waved at the camera and said.
"Hah, papa."
The little girl looked at the video screen and cried in a baby voice.
"It's Dad. I'm asking him if he's had his meal yet."
Gu Jia kissed the child's head and said.
"Oh!"
The little girl looked at Zhou Jing and kept laughing.
"You miss daddy, don't you?"
Zhou Jing kissed the camera.
Gu Jia said with a smile: "The little guy is really strong, you have to be careful when holding him."
Zhou Jing: "Xiao Huniu, what did you eat?"
Gu Jia: "After eating noodles with soybean paste, what specialties are there in your hometown now?"
Zhou Jing: "There's nothing now. The early-ripening apples and apricots won't be ripe for another twenty days. My grandma's chickens have started laying eggs. They're genuine country eggs. I'll bring some back next time I come back."
Gu Jia: "What do you usually feed the chickens?"
Zhou Jing: "Corn ground on a millstone and soaked in water is the staple food, and grass leaves and vegetable leaves are supplementary food."
Gu Jia: "Those local eggs are really authentic. When we move into the villa, we'll raise a few chickens and give Zhou Zhou the eggs they lay."
Zhou Jing: "Raising chickens is quite troublesome. The various pollutants and viruses in the city may not allow them to survive."
Gu Jia: "Okay, how much are the local eggs from my hometown?"
Zhou Jing: "One dollar each."
Gu Jia: "The price is almost twice that of eggs in the city. Such pure local eggs are not expensive. Zhou Zhou should be aware of us. He calls us papa and momo from time to time, but the pronunciation is not correct."
Zhou Jing: "I was not very good at speaking when I was young. The earliest I can remember was when I was not in kindergarten yet. I should have been three or four years old. I still couldn't pronounce some words correctly, for example, Gu Jia was pronounced as Ku Jia, and the word "stop" was pronounced as ding or eng. The thing I remember most clearly was that the word "donkey" was pronounced as yu."
Gu Jia: "Three or four years old is normal. Some children stutter when they are young, but they get better slowly. Zhou Zhou will probably be able to call mom and dad at five months old, Zhou Zhou, and then call dad, dad, dad."
"da~"
"In some dialects, dad is pronounced as da, while in other places, dad is pronounced as the second tone. This may be based on the pronunciation of the child."
Zhou Jing felt that the child was calling him "da".
"It is entirely possible that the four-tone dad may be based on the child's pronunciation. Zhou Zhou now sometimes pronounces the four-tone papa and sometimes the two-tone da. This should be the most primitive language development."
Since the birth of the child, Gu Jia has paid attention to every pronunciation the child learned, from the very beginning of wo, oh, to a, pa, da, me, the sounds that can be made become heavier and clearer.
Gu Jia pinched the child's chin and said, "Show Dad your teeth."
"It grew back after not seeing you for two days."
The child opened his mouth, and Zhou Jing moved closer to the computer screen to look carefully. Two white dots appeared on the child's lower front teeth.
"Three days away from four months, it looks like she's not lacking in calcium."
Gu Jia took the child's hand out of his mouth and said.
"You are not lacking in calcium either. Zhou Zhou, open your mouth wide and let daddy take another look at your teeth."
Looking at the little white spots emerging from the child's gums, Zhou Jing felt it was magical. The child's successful teething was another big step in growth.
After chatting with Gu Jia for a while, Zhou Jing asked his mother to come to the room to see his eldest granddaughter.
After the video ended, Zhou Jing opened his secret mailbox and checked Chen Jiaqian's email.
Chen Jiaqian sent photos of the Ideal mobile phone and Bluetooth speaker, which Chen Jiaqian bought abroad. The mobile phone cost 120 Euros and the high-end Bluetooth speaker cost 21 Euros. Chen Jiaqian also talked about the situation of the Ideal mobile phone and Bluetooth speaker in England in the email. Just like in China, Bluetooth speakers are very popular among young people in England. In order to better experience the Bluetooth speaker, some local young people will buy an Ideal mobile phone as a music hard drive.
After reading Chen Jiaqian's email, Zhou Jing replied. Zhou Jing liked this way of communicating via email very much, and Chen Jiaqian also liked it. It was as if they had returned to the retro era of letter writing, which was a different kind of romance.
Chen Jiaqian has been studying abroad for two years. Zhou Jing has already spent several million RMB on Chen Jiaqian, and there is only one year left.
Zhou Jing sometimes has a headache, and sometimes hopes that time will pass faster so that he can welcome the Shura Field earlier and be freed earlier, just like waiting for death is far more tormenting than death itself.
Every time Zhou Jing returns to his home in Qing County, he feels very peaceful from the bottom of his heart. The small town in the mountains seems to be isolated from the world, keeping all worries outside. Zhou Jing lies in the bedroom where he has lived since he was a child, putting everything behind him, and playing Rhythm Master on his smartphone. The current mobile game Rhythm Master is relatively performance-intensive. If you can play Rhythm Master smoothly, the performance of your phone will not be too bad.
Since the ideal traditional mobile phone entered the test, Zhou Jing has completely abandoned the iPhone. He is used to large-screen phones, and the mini screen of iPhone 4s is too uncomfortable to use. He has no experience playing games like Happy Elimination and Landlord. The charging speed is also very slow. There is some truth in the fact that many people on the Internet say that iPhone users are very tolerant. Zhou Jing, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, would rather change an Android phone once a year than use the so-called non-stuck mini-screen phone.
"Jing, we'll have dumplings tomorrow. Pick up your grandparents in the morning."
Wu Suqin bought some meat and prepared to chop it into dumpling filling.
"Oh."
Zhou Jing thinks eating dumplings is troublesome, but his family has a special liking for dumplings. Every time Zhou Jing leaves home, his mother makes dumplings for him, whether at his grandparents' or grandmother's house.
The next day, May 31st, Zhou Jing got up in the morning, called Gu Jia, and went to the countryside to pick up grandpa and grandma.
The mornings in the countryside are very cool and the air is exceptionally fresh. For those who have lived in big cities for a long time, it is a luxury to breathe air without car exhaust.
When Zhou Jing arrived at the countryside at around seven o'clock, his grandparents had already changed into new clothes and fed the chickens and dogs in advance. Raising chickens and dogs made it inconvenient for the old man and the old lady to go out, so if they didn't come back at night, someone would have to be left at home.
Zhou Jing looked at the chicken coop. The chickens had grown up. Ah Huang in the doghouse next to the chicken coop was also not small. When he saw Zhou Jing, Ah Huang quickly wagged his tail and jumped.
"silly dog."
Zhou Jing touched the dog's head and mouth, went back to the house, took a rib from the refrigerator and threw it into the dog bowl.
"Jing, I'll bring you some eggs."
The old lady gave Zhou Jing both plates of eggs that she had saved at home.
"No, we don't need to drive to BJ. Don't be reluctant to part with you and my grandfather. Eat more."
"Then take them with you. There are more and more chickens laying eggs and we can't eat many. If you can't eat them at home, ask your mother to sell them in the city."
"Then I'll take it with me to Tangdu."
Zhou Jing thought he could take it to Yang Wenwen's home in Yulin City.
