Chapter 21: Awards 1
Zhou Jichu was stunned, he didn't know what his mother wanted to say, didn't he already explain it very clearly just now?
"I know that you young people don't like work in the system, you feel bored and not free, and you are confined to that desk all your life." Zhou's mother spoke.
"But Mom is a person who has seen more than you. A lot of them are young people like you who feel that the outside world is good and want to go out. The result? After a few years, it is not a gloomy return home to enter the system. ”
"Mom, I'm with them..."
"I know what you're going to say, you listen to me first." As soon as Zhou Jichu spoke, he was blocked by Zhou's mother.
"The outside world is really exciting, you can go and see it, but you have to stabilize after all, don't you? You can't be out there for the rest of your life, can you? ”
"Although the profession of a teacher is a bit hard, you have a lot of free time during the winter and summer vacations. Wouldn't it be nice for you to go out and see the world at this time, paid vacation, where to find such a good thing. ”
Zhou's mother completely ignored Zhou Jichu's impatience, and insisted on saying everything she wanted to say.
"Besides, mom is just such a daughter as you, I will miss you if you run so far! Doesn't the book say, 'Parents are here, don't travel far.' 'You should know what you know about literature!' ”
"The book also says, 'The love of parents and sons is far-reaching', and you tied me to you, just for my good?" Zhou Jichu retorted.
"What do you think?! Why did I just trap you around me!? Zhou's mother said angrily.
"I said I don't want to be a teacher, why do you have to force me?! I've been obediently listening to your arrangements since I was a child, and now that I've finally found what I like, is there anything wrong with me just wanting to do what I like? ”
"What's the difference between you having to make me a teacher at home and pinning me to your belt?!" Zhou Jichu roared out.
"You... How can you do this to me? Zhou's mother was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"You forced me." Zhou Jichu said coldly.
"Someday you'll regret it!"
"Nope! I won't be like you! Zhou Jichu said firmly.
"Like me? Am I doing something wrong? ”
"I don't want to be like you, choosing what I don't love." After Zhou Jichu finished speaking, he left the room.
Zhou's mother was speechless for a while, tears flowed down, and they were quickly wiped away.
"Dad, I'll go for a walk." Zhou Jichu picked up his coat, changed into shoes and left.
"Eh, it's the New Year, the shops aren't open, where are you going..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of "bang" closing the door.
Mother Zhou walked out of the room calmly as if nothing had happened, and she could only think through her indignant words that she was very angry.
"What are you talking to your kids? She went out in a huff. ”
"How do I know! You don't know what your daughter's temper is!? ”
Realizing that something was wrong, Dad Zhou closed his mouth in amusement.
After walking a long way, Zhou Jichu slowed down. The air is filled with the smell of firecrackers left over from the firecrackers set off a few days ago, and you will choke on your nose if you inhale it.
The anger in his heart was extinguished by the cold air outside, and Zhou Jichu wrapped his coat tightly.
The streets are full of red lanterns, and the doors of shops are also plastered with red couplets, and the scene of the New Year is lively. But there were a few people walking on the street, and there were no shops open.
Mom is right, but if you don't try it yourself, how do you know that the person who stays is not you?
Besides, Zhou Jichu really doesn't want to do the kind of work that can see the end at a glance, even if it seems that Zhou Jichu is very suitable for that kind of work.
Unknowingly, Zhou Jichu walked to the door of his primary school.
The experience of going to school as a child came to mind, and if the school hadn't been closed and not allowed to enter, Zhou Jichu would really want to go in and have a visit.
"Is it Zhou Jichu?" A female voice sounded behind Zhou Jichu.
Zhou Jichu turned his head and glanced at the man.
Dressed in a pink cotton jacket, holding a small doll in her hand.
"Yes, you are?"
"I'm Gao Yue, an elementary school classmate~ You forgot!?"
Zhou Jichu thought about it, and a lively and agile little girl appeared in his mind, she was chasing the boy to the men's toilet.
I can't connect with the person in front of me at all.
"Gao Yue! Is it really you? ”
"Remembered? I'll just say, you can't forget me! Gao Yue said with a smile.
"Lele, this is my mother's elementary school classmate, call Auntie!"
"Mom? Is this your son? Zhou Jichu squatted down and pinched the little doll's cheek with a smile.
"That's right~ I got married to my husband after graduation. My husband is the Li Tong who was chased and beaten by me back then, and we are now teachers in our elementary school! ”
"Wow, yes. It's good that you can still beat your husband in this fight! ”
Zhou Jichu took Lele's hand and shook it around, amusing him embarrassedly to hide behind Gao Yue's legs.
"Who would have thought that the little kid who pulled my hair and braided it would become my husband, and I knew that I should have taught him a hard lesson back then!"
"What's going to do then?! If it's broken, Leleke won't be able to get out! Zhou Jichu said with a smile.
"Look, it's been a long time. Go to my house and sit down, it's the family home in the school. Look at the classrooms of the year or something. ”
"It's... Is this okay? Zhou Jichu asked embarrassedly.
"What's wrong with that!" Gao Yue took out the key and opened the door as she spoke.
As soon as I entered the school, that familiar feeling of peace of mind came out.
Along the way, the facilities of the elementary school have been renovated, but the feeling of the year is still there. When he was in elementary school, Zhou Jichu always stepped on a little bit to come to school, and he felt that the road under his feet was so long. Now, take a few steps and the road is gone.
"By the way, what are you doing out there now?" Gao Yue asked.
"Me? I'm now a screenwriter's assistant. Zhou Jichu replied.
"Is it the kind that writes TV dramas? Wow, that's good, Zhou Jichu, you wrote a good essay when you were in elementary school, sure enough! ”
"No, no, I'm not there yet!" Zhou Jichu hurriedly denied it.
"Don't be modest! I envy you for working out there. Entering and exiting the high-end office building every day, stepping on high heels and carrying coffee, dressed up beautifully, how spirited! Gao Yue said, her eyes full of adoration.
"But you are safe and stable now, and Lele, aren't you also quite happy!" Zhou Jichu said, and stuffed the sugar in his pocket to Lele.
Gao Yue glanced at the doll she was holding in her hand, and said lonely:
"Well, I'll know when you get married."
Zhou Jichu didn't understand what she meant, but looking at her helpless eyes that fell on Lele, he seemed to understand something.
Zhou Jichu didn't go to her house to sit, just walked around the school and went home.
"Let's talk about it when you have time~"
"Good! Next time, I will definitely prepare a red envelope for Lele! Zhou Jichu smiled and waved his hand.
On the way home, Zhou Jichu's footsteps became firmer.
