Pictures of pomegranates

Chapter 17

Because Xin'an's seniors came here after being laughed at by others more than 100 years ago, and Xin'an University was established.In the eyes of these people, peace of mind should be the only place where they are not afraid of others laughing. What defines a person is not his position, but the direction he is moving forward. Teacher Tang is a representative of these people.

Fu Zhipeng is very aware of the difference between himself and Teacher Tang, so he will never argue or openly confront Teacher Tang. He will only act like this now, with a plastic-like aunt smile on his face and say: "Yes, yes, you said That's right. Zhang Zhaodi is a nice person and has good intentions when it comes to work. You see, she will be a direct employee soon. She will definitely have to learn more in the future. Otherwise, let her go for Yunyue this time. She can also be regarded as one of our Give her a chance to exercise in advance, what do you think?"

"Her? Don't tell me, if Adi can go, I will really be relieved. This child is the most responsible!" Teacher Tang looked at Zhang Zhaodi with bright eyes.

Fu Zhipeng immediately ordered: "Okay, then it's settled. Zhang Zhaodi will not take vacation for now, but will represent our department the day after tomorrow to participate in the school's teaching summer camp. This is a glorious task, and it is also a must-have when participating in the evaluation of outstanding employees or being promoted. If Yunyue and Wang Jing hadn't been able to leave, how could it be their turn...cough, cough, prepare yourself, there won't be any delay, we'll set off the day after tomorrow!"

"Adi, are you going on vacation? Can you still participate?" Teacher Tang asked with concern
During her days working at Xin'an University, the care and trust of colleagues like Teacher Tang have always been Zhang Zhaodi's only remaining warmth and hope.Facing Teacher Tang's expectant eyes, Zhang Zhaodi had no way to refuse, let alone want to commit suicide.

Without any hesitation, she wiped away her tears, nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher Tang!"

In this way, temporary worker Zhang Zhaodi, with Director Fu Zhipeng's depressed face, Wang Jing's hatred, and Teacher Tang's unlimited expectations, got the opportunity to teach on behalf of the department's honor, and prepared to embark on the journey to the Xin'an University teaching summer camp. journey.

Just one day before Zhang Zhaodi's departure, her strong mother seemed to have sensed her daughter's journey and hurried to the house where she lived alone to make a fuss.She asked Zhang Zhaodi over and over again about his teaching schedule, hysterically asked why she was not told in advance about the teaching program, and repeatedly scolded Zhang Zhaodi for not handling interpersonal relationships well.

Zhang Zhaodi, who had finally been in a better mood, wanted to kill herself after her actions.The harsh voice in her mind flashed again: "She just wants you to die soon. She thinks you are a shameful waste and she hates you!"

Finally, unbearable, Zhang Zhaodi held her head and shouted: "Shut up, I don't want to hear your voice anymore!"

This roar shocked her mother. Her daughter, who was increasingly out of control, dared to openly resist. This made her feel once again that a life beyond her control was such a failure.

The next second, Zhang Zhaodi's mother yelled like crazy: "You dare to shout at me? You are exactly like that dead bastard father. What else do you want?? When we were young, we would give you whatever you wanted. Buy you something. When you grow up, we will let you study whatever major you want. Now I just ask you to listen to me and tell me everything. Is this too much to ask? How dare you shout at me? ?Zhang Zhaodi, you are just like your father, both heartless bastards, trying to avoid me!!!"

"I don't have it. I'm just going to teach on behalf of others temporarily. I'll be back soon!" Zhang Zhaodi sighed deeply and explained again feebly.The mother's unbridled emotional venting and unreasonable and unreasonable troubles seemed to have drained her life vitality again. The haze in her heart was like a knife, continuing to cut open the patchwork heart.Suddenly, for a second, Zhang Zhaodi felt that her vision went dark, she could not hear any sound in her ears, and even the annoying harsh sound in her head left her, and her whole body seemed to have fallen into a dark Silent Hill.

"Can you be realistic, don't go to teach, and get married as soon as possible! The purpose of vacation is to prepare for the wedding, and for you and Fan Guang to get married early. Why do you suddenly go to teach? What do you want? What do you want??" The mother pushed and shouted angrily Drag her back from Silent Hill.

Yes, this time, my mother asked the right question, what does she want in life?
"Speak, you speak! Are you pretending to be dead? I'll let you pretend to be dead, I'll let you pretend!!!" The excited mother was like a crazy lioness, baring her teeth and claws so that no one dared to come close.

Seeing her motionless and silent daughter, she began to go crazy like a nuclear explosion. Her mother rushed to Zhang Zhaodi's treasured bookshelf, frantically picked up many books, rushed into the kitchen and threw them into the sink.The next second, she took out a lighter, laughed and lit the book on fire.

At the same time, the mother cursed: "I made you disobedient and asked you to go to teach, I burned all your books, burned them all! I made you read Xianshu and disobedient, I made you read Xianshu, let you read !”

Behind her, Zhang Zhaodi watched her mother making a fuss indifferently. She didn't even have the strength to take a step forward. Her mother's actions, expressions and words were exactly the same as the quarrels they had when her father was alive.Zhang Zhaodi knew very well the consequences of preventing her mother from going crazy. Even her strong father could not defeat her mother, let alone her, so Zhang Zhaodi gave up her resistance.

It seems that since she was a child, her parents were different from other parents. They were always busy quarreling, blaming, and complaining.There was always a lot of noise at home. Even if the family later became rich, the parents still could not communicate with each other.

This makes Zhang Zhaodi very accustomed to some kind of aggressive expressions. For example, now, her mother's extreme concern for her is a kind of hysterical madness.In fact, as the only daughter Zhang Zhaodi is envied by many people, her whole growing up process is like drinking a cup of viscous dumb medicine. There are many things she wants to say but cannot say, and there are many things she wants to do but cannot do.

Just like now, she watched her mother burn the out-of-print pomegranate picture book, still powerless.Tears slowly flowed down her face. At the moment when the light of the book was about to go out, Zhang Zhaodi suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in the upper left side of her back.

The fire and smoke in the kitchen triggered the house's fire alarm system, attracting the community's dedicated security guards.The mother and daughter once again separated on bad terms amid the dissuasion of the security guards, and Zhang Zhaodi resolutely embarked on a journey to support education.But at that time, Zhang Zhaodi didn't know that her fate would undergo earth-shaking changes with this journey...
