Chapter 667 666 Cried Again

Tang Zhitong was the first to arrive home. As soon as he entered the house, Fengzhi came up to him holding a certificate and announced the good news: "Brother! Brother! Look, the school gave me a certificate!"

"Let me take a look." Tang Zhitong took it happily. It was a certificate for an outstanding student, signed not by the school but by the Education Bureau.

Seeing the signature, Tang Zhitong guessed that it was because of "One Cent". Although Fengzhi was just taking advantage of it, it couldn't dampen her enthusiasm, so he still praised: "Not bad, not bad."

"The teacher asked me to prepare and give a speech on stage." Fengzhi carefully took the certificate handed back by her brother and said happily.

"Oh? Are you willing to go on stage?" Tang Zhitong was stunned. He had not expected this. After all, Fengzhi was only an eight or nine-year-old child.

"Yes!" After all, it was an opportunity to show her face, so Feng Zhi nodded vigorously to express her feelings.

"People write their own speeches. Can you write?" Tang Zhitong said in a gentle and persuasive manner.

"The teacher said he would prepare it and teach me when the time comes." Fengzhi didn't have so many thoughts and told him what the teacher had told her.

"This won't work. Just listen to me and we won't go." Tang Zhitong shook his head. Nowadays, there are definitely reports that are not diluted, but there are definitely also those that are filled with water.

For adults, this kind of thing, whether it is just a show or a true performance, at least they know what they want. But for a little girl of eight or nine years old, this is not a good thing.

"No, I want to go!" Fengzhi became unhappy when she heard Tang Zhitong say this, and her face turned red with anxiety.

"What did you say when the teacher asked you to write? Do you know if what the teacher wrote is correct?" Tang Zhitong asked.

"How could what the teacher wrote be wrong?" Fengzhi was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes, and she argued with reason.

"No." Seeing that his sister was stubborn, Tang Zhitong gave up trying to reason with her. In the minds of elementary school students, the teacher's words are more effective than the parents'. But when it comes to public speaking, children have weak control and it is easy to influence their values. Even if there is no problem with the manuscript, once they give too many speeches, they will get stuck in it and cannot get out, and it is easy for them to become a five-bar teenager.

Everyone has their own aspirations. Tang Zhitong has no opinion on how other families educate their children, but his own children must not become like that, even if he has to use violence to interrupt it.

"Wow...Mom!" Seeing that Tang Zhitong was unwilling, Fengzhi snuggled into Zhang Guifang's arms to seek comfort.

"Mom, listen to me. I'll go to Fengzhi School." After all, she was his sister, so Tang Zhitong had to take care of her whether she was killed or buried. After giving her instructions, he put down his schoolbag and went out.

When classmate Xiao Wang brought Fengzhen back, Fengzhi was still sobbing in Zhang Guifang's arms.

"What happened? Who bullied Fengzhi?" Xiao Wang rarely saw her sister-in-law cry. In her impression, although her sister-in-law was a little greedy, she was very strong.

It would have been better if she hadn't asked. Once she did, Fengzhi's grievance came up again, and she snuggled into her sister-in-law's arms and complained about her brother.

"Your brother is too rude, isn't he?" After listening to this, Xiao Wang touched his sister-in-law's head and agreed with her.

"Yeah." Xiao Wang's words resonated with Fengzhi, and she kept nodding in her sister-in-law's arms.

"I'll ask him to apologize to you when I come back. But you have to listen to your brother and you can't go." After giving the sweet talk, Xiao Wang upheld the original verdict. Since her husband had already gone to school, the matter had been settled and should not be changed.

As for why her husband disagreed, Xiao Wang thought that it might be because her husband thought that the song "One Cent" had little to do with the singer, and that they had already cooperated with the public security department and it was not appropriate for multiple departments to publicize it.

"Why?" Perhaps because she had almost vented all her grievances, Fengzhi did not cry in a hurry this time. Instead, she asked with her swollen eyes open.

"People of different ages should do things that are appropriate for their age. When we grow up, we have to work and participate in labor. As a primary school student, you should study hard instead of participating in such social activities, even if the school's starting point is good." Xiao Wang did not express his guess, but tried to communicate in a way that Fengzhi could understand.

"No means no, I've already told your principal." When Tang Zhitong walked in, he happened to hear Xiao Wang explaining things to Feng Zhi.

When Fengzhi heard this, she pouted and showed signs of crying again.

"You should talk to your sister nicely. Does the school have any objection?" Student Xiao Wang patted his sister-in-law in his arms and advised her.

"Object? How dare he! What kind of bunch of bastards are they? Instead of thinking about how to improve the teaching quality, they just play around here. Besides, what does this have to do with them? He has the nerve to flatter himself and still has the nerve to oppose?" Of course the school disagreed. Tang Zhitong was very angry, but he didn't say so at the time.

Out of consideration for Xu Hui's face, the principal didn't say anything harsh and just said that this was a task assigned by the higher authorities.

Tang Zhitong spoke very politely, but his attitude was soft yet firm. He brought up his identity as the lyricist and added his identity as the guardian. Finally, he pointed out that he had cooperated with the public security department in publicity. He was worried that too many publicity channels would cause unnecessary conflicts. He asked the principal to report the matter to his superiors. If the public security department gave in, he would ask them to come back to him.

As for whether the public security department will relax its restrictions, Tang Zhitong plans to make a special trip to the Publicity Department of the Public Security Department tomorrow to fill this loophole.

Seeing that Tang Zhitong was angry, Xiao Wang unwrapped the newspaper on the photo frame and took out the photo in order to ease the atmosphere.

The enlarged version of the photo looks more real.

With this photo, Tang Zhitong's status as the Tang family's pillar of support has been further solidified.

With the photo in hand, Fengzhi seemed to have forgotten what Xiao Wang had asked Tang Zhitong to apologize, and the matter ended abruptly.

"I gave your blueprint to our mother." After finishing the meal, Xiao Wang returned to the room and spoke.

"Okay, I'll think about the other things later." With the old man's encouragement, Tang Zhitong certainly couldn't get away with just one switch, but this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, otherwise it would seem like the invention was easy.

"What's wrong with you today? Aren't you always nice to each other?" Student Xiao Wang asked as he put the photo frame on the desk.

"I can't quite accept the school's approach... It's true that schools should educate children, but they shouldn't make a fuss about a singer. This isn't a special contribution." Tang Zhitong expressed his thoughts to Xiao Wang.

"Then there's no need to be so anxious. Just explain it to them nicely." Only then did Xiao Wang realize that he had misunderstood.

"Hey, I'm not that stupid. I'm not trying to make up a false story..." Tang Zhitong recounted the negotiation process with the school and said that he would have to go to Chang'an Avenue tomorrow.

"That's good enough. Shall we hang it up first?" Xiao Wang nodded in satisfaction and started looking for nails. "I'll do it. You have to help me write a manuscript. When I arrived at school today, I was called to the escort office..." Tang Zhitong found a hammer, took the nails that Xiao Wang had found, and banged them on the wall. While hanging the photo frame, he told the city bureau what he wanted to publicize.

"Okay, I'll write it for you." Xiao Wang agreed with a smile. It was a good thing that the Municipal Bureau wanted to publicize her husband, so she had to support it.

"Highlight the support of the municipal bureau more and write less about me personally." Tang Zhitong made a request, not because of his noble character, but because he was worried that others would use this to put a "moral shackle" on him. With this shackle, it would be easy for others to think that they should suffer first. One or two things are acceptable, but if all of them are like this, how can he continue to be a mortal?
What Tang Zhitong didn't know was that similar things were beginning to happen in other units. The higher-ups had received reports, so his unit couldn't just sit there and say nothing...

While Xiao Wang was writing the manuscript, Tang Zhitong first checked the stove and boiled water, then took out their wedding photo and put it in the photo frame.

After finishing everything, Tang Zhitong looked at the wall, but still felt it was a bit empty, so he rummaged through the drawers and found the copied photo.

"What are you doing?" Student Wang stopped writing and asked as she watched her husband staring blankly at another photo frame.

"I plan to hang them up together." Tang Zhitong used to be against hanging up the photos. At that time, he was still a commoner and was very cautious, fearing that he would be accused of being high-profile. But now his mind has changed. Hanging them up is not for others to see, but to remind himself at all times not to forget His teachings and to make more contributions.

Moreover, it is not good to only hang the photo of him and myself. Xiao Wang’s photo was taken earlier than mine. With these two photos, Xiao Wang and I are more suitable for each other!
"Okay, do you need my help?" Seeing that her husband was in high spirits, Xiao Wang did not object.

"No, I can do it myself. Oh, by the way, you were right about missing classes. The school teacher asked me to do it." Tang Zhitong said to Xiao Wang while he was busy hanging photos.

"Then you take care of that side first. There are still a few publicity events at the public security office. I'm not busy at work there, so you can go there by yourself." Xiao Wang is a considerate student and took the initiative to take over the job.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will talk to the comrades in the Propaganda Department tomorrow." Tang Zhitong gave Xiao Wang an apologetic smile. He was running back and forth between the two places now, and it was not easy for people to find him. In addition, the Municipal Bureau was looking for him recently, so it was difficult to arrange time for many things.

"Silly boy, I don't feel it's hard. I'm so happy to be able to help you." Xiao Wang smiled at her husband and buried her head in writing the manuscript.

Tang Zhitong felt warm in his heart, and he moved more gently. He took out the bilingual translation dictionary and sat by the stove to study. He had been busy recently and had been a little slack in this area.

After a long while, Xiao Wang stopped writing, checked it, and handed the manuscript to Tang Zhitong: "Here, take a look and see if it's okay."

"Thank you for your hard work." Tang Zhitong stood up and took it. He stamped Xiao Wang's document before starting to look through it.

Student Xiao Wang smiled, took the dictionary from her husband, put it on the desk, and stood beside the photo frame to look at it carefully.

"Very good, very well written. I can make a report according to your manuscript." Tang Zhitong was very satisfied with Secretary Xiao Wang's work. He had a more solid theoretical foundation than himself and his polite words were also beautifully written.

"You're so funny." Xiao Wang smiled and said, "Color photos are beautiful, but they're too expensive."

"It's not expensive, not expensive. We only take a photo once a year. Next year, maybe there will be three of us, four the year after, and five the year after that..." Tang Zhitong put down the manuscript, hugged Xiao Wang from behind, put his mouth close to her ear, and looked forward to the future.

"Hateful! What do you think of me? Why do you give birth so quickly and so many times?" Student Wang felt itchy in her heart due to the scent of her husband, and replied with a blushing face.

"Hey, how many do you want?" Tang Zhitong's hands became dishonest and he climbed up the fruits along the thin branches.

"I want one right now..." Xiao Wang replied with blurry eyes.

"Okay, let's go wash up and work hard tonight!" Tang Zhitong pinched, reluctant to let go, and hurried to wash up.

What's next...

On Wednesday, March 3, Tang Zhitong skipped class again.

After sending Jingying and Fengzhen off in the morning, I went to the Publicity Department of the Public Security Bureau first. After communicating, I returned to the Municipal Bureau.

I spent a long time at the Municipal Bureau. Not only did I have to hand the manuscript to Su Qingxiang, but I also had to cooperate with the Propaganda Department to conduct an interview, which were all necessary materials for the publicity.

When Tang Zhitong was being interviewed, his math teacher Jiao Yutang finally couldn't help it and went to Teacher Zhou Zheng to complain about Tang Zhitong.

This morning, when the math class representative was collecting homework and handing it in, Jiao Yutang asked if Tang Zhitong came yesterday.

As luck would have it, the math class representative saw Tang Zhitong enter the classroom yesterday, but then he left.

When Jiao Yutang found out, he became even angrier. He came yesterday but didn't come to see him. Didn't he take him seriously?

"Teacher Jiao, I know you are doing this for the students' good." Although Jiao Yutang was only a substitute teacher who had not yet been hired as a full-time teacher, Zhou Zheng showed full respect for Jiao Yutang. After listening to his story, Zhou Zheng first gave him affirmation.

"Student Tang Zhitong is a special case. He is a sponsored student selected by the ministry. He also holds a position at the Sijiu City Post Office. He needs to deal with work there from time to time, so his courses will definitely be delayed." After Zhou Zheng confirmed this, he helped Tang Zhitong make up for it.

"Teacher Zhou, I know about his situation, but he has been absent from classes more frequently than last semester, and he hasn't handed in his assignments on time. If he continues like this, I'm really worried that he won't be able to graduate successfully." Jiao Yutang was young and hot-tempered. He said that he was doing it for Tang Zhitong's good, but in fact he couldn't swallow this.

"Teacher Jiao's consideration makes sense. How about this, you go back first, I will understand the situation and give you an explanation." Faced with Jiao Yutang's inflexibility, Zhou Zheng was also very troubled. After all, this time the righteousness was in Jiao Yutang's hands.

After sending Jiao Yutang away, Zhou Zheng thought for a moment, then got up and left the office to go to Class 593 of the Cable Department to find out what was going on.

When they arrived at the classroom, Zhou Zheng called Luo Zhiping out and asked, "Xiao Luo, is there anything wrong with Tang Zhitong recently?"

"You don't know?" Luo Zhiping scratched his head, thinking that Tang Zhitong had asked for leave.

"Should I know?" Zhou Zheng frowned.

"Hey, wait a moment, I'll get something." Luo Zhiping smiled embarrassedly and turned back to the classroom.

Not only Luo Zhiping had bought the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", but other students in the class had also bought it. Luo Zhiping borrowed a copy, then borrowed that day's newspaper from Lu Jian and took it out of the classroom.
