Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Days of Studying Abroad

Although my life at my aunt's house was on thin ice, I still passed safely until I went to college.

Zhang Ying's grades have always been very good, and it is logical for her to go to a key university.

On the day the admission letter arrived, Zhang Ying happened to be eighteenth birthday.

My aunt was very happy and bought a cake for Zhang Ying to celebrate.

If it hadn't been for her care for so many years, Zhang Ying would have gone to an orphanage a long time ago, let alone be admitted to university.

Zhang Ying thanked her aunt and told her that she could finally stop bothering her in the future.

In fact, the real thought in her heart was that she finally didn't have to look at her uncle's face.

My aunt said that it didn't matter to me, now that she can be so good, her aunt can be regarded as having an explanation for her mother.

The aunt gave Zhang Ying an envelope, the only thing her mother had left for her before leaving.

In the envelope, there was only one sentence:

"Ying'er, mom loves you, I'm sorry. ”

In addition to this sentence, there is also the real estate certificate.

This time, Zhang Ying really cried.

Zhang Ying's mother, the crazy woman, still loves Zhang Ying after all.

And Zhang Ying plans to forgive her when she is an adult.

Zhang Ying shouted in her heart: "Mom, you can rest assured in heaven, your daughter has grown up." I will be able to face the hardships of life on my own. ”

The first thing Zhang Ying did when she became an adult was to sell the house that her mother left for her.

Zhang Ying left her tuition and living expenses for four years, and Zhang Ying gave the extra money to Zhang Ying's aunt.

This money can at least give her an explanation to her uncle, so that they don't have conflicts again because of Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying is 18 to 28 years old, except for studying, that is, part-time work, nothing else can impress Zhang Ying.

After Zhang Ying completed her doctorate in one go, she successfully stayed in school and became a psychology teacher.

A stable job is really important to Zhang Ying, who has been living under the fence and has been displaced for many years.

This sense of security has been unattainable for Zhang Ying in the past 28 years.

So Zhang Ying has been staying in college, looking for her new life.

Zhang Ying worked very hard, working on topics with other professors and lecturing with famous teachers......

As long as Zhang Ying can learn, learn it.

Zhang Ying's level of effort impressed the head of the Department of Psychology, and he soon let Zhang Ying work part-time as his administrative secretary.

This position means that Zhang Ying, a new employee, can meet all the top psychology majors, participate in the top conferences in psychology, and participate in the most high-end academic seminars in psychology.

This is undoubtedly an accelerant for Zhang Ying's growth.

Soon, the head of the department also arranged for Zhang Ying to go abroad for further study.

This is unattainable for many people.

But for Zhang Ying, it was the beginning of a disaster, more precisely, the reincarnation of fate.

Zhang Ying was arranged to study abroad at an Ivy League university for half a year.

Here, Zhang Ying saw a completely different psychology atmosphere, psychological research and psychology talents.

The impact of culture, academics, and learning ......

All of a sudden, Zhang Ying, a desperate Sanniang, couldn't adapt to it.

Zhang Ying was a little disappointed in herself, but Zhang Ying knew that this opportunity was rare, so she still cherished it.

It's just that the heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient.

It was at this time that Zhang Ying met Yuan Yuan, a Chinese-American who came to the United States with his parents since he was a child, and has now stayed at the university to teach.

He is very good, because after all, he is Chinese, so he takes special care of every international student or teacher who comes here.

Zhang Ying is naturally within the scope of his care, but the lonely character that has been cultivated for many years makes Zhang Ying instinctively alienated and wary of others.

Yuan Yuan saw that Zhang Ying was in trouble and wanted to help Zhang Ying.

But he also felt that Zhang Ying was a person who was not very close to him, and his instinctive self-protection made Zhang Ying a little resistant to him.

Perhaps because he studied psychology, Yuan Yuan became inexplicably interested in this girl from China.

Yuan Yuan could see that she had stories, scars, and the need for psychological help.

Yuan Yuan thought of a series of ways to get close to her.

Slowly, Zhang Ying began to feel Yuan Yuan's kindness, and under his guidance, she began to adapt to this fast-paced study tour life little by little.

Zhang Ying sat with Yuan Yuan in a psychology frontier salon.

Many of the ideas in the salon were not exposed to by Zhang Ying before, and it was a little difficult for her to digest them at once, but it was not good to always interrupt the speaker's discussion.

Yuan Yuan saw her anxiety very carefully, and after the salon ended, he sent her a lot of relevant information.

At that time, Zhang Ying was really moved to the point of almost crying!

You know, many of these professional terms, Yuan Yuan was afraid that Zhang Ying would be difficult to understand and had to check the information, especially in Chinese to mark and explain.

Yuan Yuan's Chinese is not very good, and doing this work is tantamount to Zhang Ying explaining a difficult technical term in English.

Zhang Ying specially invited him to dinner in order to thank Yuan Yuan.

Yuan Yuan also invited her to dinner at home on the weekend.

Yuan Yuan's home is a two-story bungalow, and his parents are intellectuals, one is a doctor and the other is a university professor.

What makes Zhang Ying envious the most is that they love each other very much, and they still care about each other even when they are so old.

Zhang Ying couldn't help but think of her parents and felt sad.

Yuan Yuan's mother specially made a table of Chinese home-cooked food for Zhang Ying.

This made Zhang Ying very grateful, because she hadn't eaten such authentic hometown food for a long time.

Zhang Ying is very envious of Yuan Yuan, if she has a happy family like Yuan Yuan, how good it would be!

When Yuan Yuan sent Zhang Ying back, they talked a lot, from psychology to China to family.

It's just that when talking about Zhang Ying's family, she didn't want to talk about it, she only told Yuan Yuan lightly that she was an orphan and grew up with her aunt.

Yuan Yuan knew that the scar was here, the loneliness was here, and the untouchable was here.

Yuan Yuan naturally didn't force her, after all, everyone studied psychology and knew how to respect others.

In the following three months, Zhang Ying, with the help of Yuan Yuan, adapted very quickly, and everything seemed to be on the right track.

Zhang Ying also completed the research on the subject assigned by the head of the department, and she translated all the materials that could be obtained, sorted out a paper and sent it to the head of the department.

Before the official end of the study tour here, Zhang Ying and Yuan Yuan formed a psychological supervision partnership.

(Psychological supervision is a work mode to assist those engaged in psychology-related professions to improve their work ability and psychological quality.) It refers to the process in which learners complete psychological work and improve their professional level under the guidance and help of experienced supervisors, and psychological supervision is also a learning process in which peers in the psychological industry share clinical knowledge, clarify ideas, and improve skills.

Yuan Yuan touched Zhang Ying with his sincerity, and Zhang Ying also hoped to get more help from him, and their friendship took root in the past six months.

Before leaving, they conducted several psychological supervisions.

Yuan Yuan learned more about Zhang Ying's psychological counseling in China, and he sincerely listened to and guided Zhang Ying's work.

But every time she talks about personal emotional distress and grooming, Zhang Ying's resistance is still very serious.

However, Yuan Yuan was not in a hurry, and not talking about it showed that the negative impact was not so obvious.

But I don't know why, Yuan Yuan is a little worried about Zhang Ying.

This fear was like a time bomb, and he felt that it could cause a sea change at any time.
