Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, the holiday is coming again.
The seven-day May Day holiday, even if it officially starts tomorrow, the students have already planned where to go.
There are quite a lot of sights to visit in the Imperial Capital.
My classmates are all over the world. They have to go home for the long vacation and have no time to stay here. Now this kind of 3, 5, or 7-day vacation is perfect for them.
Firstly, it’s not easy to buy tickets when I go home, and I don’t have enough time. It happens to be an opportunity to go out and play openly.
If you can afford it, you can ask for extra pocket money from your family. If you can't afford it, you have already started to save money.
Even next door Zhou Xuemei, after considering breaking up completely over and over again, came to a realization and got back together with Xu Qiao.
No, during the seven-day holiday, I decided to accompany her to visit the scenic spots. If I didn’t buy anything, the tickets would be half price with my student ID card. I could still afford it with the money I earned from my own part-time job.
What's more, if you only visit the imperial capital, you can stay at the school during the holidays... In this way, you can save travel expenses again and again, and it may even be more than enough.
…
In contrast, none of the four people in dormitory 301 participated in this at all.
Ding Wei now has a lot of trivial matters on her hands. Although everyone has their own responsibility and does not need to worry too much, overall, she still does not have much free time.
What's more, as a coder, the long serial novel at hand is about to come to an end, and he has to finish it this holiday anyway.
After all, this period of time was too stressful. I originally planned to finish writing "Exchanging Life" during the winter vacation and postponed it until the May Day holiday. This was too slack.
…
And Chen Siyu is even more impossible.
Traveling during the holidays and back to school are the peak periods for buying and selling clothes, so naturally Chen Siyu will not miss this great opportunity.
At the moment, I am discussing with some of my newly recruited employees what kind of promotions we should do, as well as the selection of new summer products.
After all, on May Day in the imperial capital, the temperature is already 30 degrees.
Now, the second wave of new summer products is about to appear.
Busy and busy, I can't even put my feet on the ground.
Thanks to Little Du Ge's inexplicable affection for her, otherwise during this peak holiday photo-taking period, her Taobao new products would not be able to be squeezed into the schedule.
But Qing Wusiyu just wants to make money right now. Although she has a slight affection for Little Du Ge, it is definitely not as good as her own career. Just in case, she also contacted another photographer through her circle.
Teacher, for emergencies.
Fortunately, little Brother Du doesn't know this now, otherwise he would be angry and cry.
Alas, woman, your name is ruthless.
…
Bai Shanshan did have time, but unfortunately she was never successful in losing weight, so she was dragged to Xinghai Film and Television by her sister-in-law Li Mingyi.
There are nutritionists and coaches specially equipped for celebrities. This time it is a mandatory instruction. You must lose a little more weight no matter what in 7 days.
Hmm... not much, only five kilograms.
In school, because she constantly battled wits with Ding Wei and hid countless snacks, despite the cruel oppression, she only lost 5 pounds in school during this time.
I'm 120 pounds away from my goal, still 5 pounds short of it.
The princess dress that Li Mingyi worked so hard to make, no matter what, she had to ask Bai Shanshan to put on it as soon as possible.
If we don't keep up, the weather will really get hot, won't it have to be postponed until next year?
Her creativity will not be like this next year, which is a waste of her hard work!
The domineering Hong Kong Tai cannot bear to see her hard work being wasted.
In this way, Bai Shanshan will really start to lose weight.
And he was trapped in Xinghai Company, and he was told that the sky was not responding, and that the earth and the earth were not functioning properly——
The existence of fatty liver has completely stopped Ms. Bai from relaxing in her weight loss career.
…
As for Lu Li...she does have time and some money.
But she doesn't even want to relax when she goes to school, so how can she go out and play around during the holidays?
The newly written novel collides with Xiao Bailian's novel inexplicably, and the contrast is still the same. As long as the reader reacts, he will immediately find the gap between the two.
She was terrified inside and eager to get out of this situation, so she could only work hard to write the manuscript.
In fact, this doesn't make much sense.
Because although "Girls" and "Youth" are both monthly magazines, first of all, "Girls" has a thin booklet, and the number of words in each story series is limited.
But "Youth" is different. It is a thick book with color pages. Xiaobailian is the author of the big launch, and each story serialization can reach more than 30,000 words.
Even if Lu Li saves the entire manuscript and the magazine does not publish it, in the eyes of readers, she still writes more than anyone else.
But she had no other choice.
…
In the dormitory, Ding Wei stimulates her all the time every day. The more successful Ding Wei is and the better-selling "The Floating World", the more unwilling she becomes.
This unwillingness drove her to be irrational.
At this moment, I can’t help but think about writing more and writing more!
Lu Li even had an idea in her heart that could not be shared by outsiders——
As long as I'm fast enough, Xiao Bailian's copy can only be a copy of mine!
But she didn't dare to say these words.
and……
Lu Li gritted her teeth secretly: Now I only have myself, so I have to fight hard.
When she was thinking like this, she completely forgot that since her sister-in-law suffered a massive hemorrhage after giving birth last year, she had never taken the initiative to call home again.
Now that the new semester is here, I just pretend that I don’t have those partial family members.
In this case, when her family members were already heartbroken by her selfishness, how could they take the initiative to contact her again?
In Lu Li's mind, isn't this proof that her family is partial and favors sons over daughters?
…
Moreover, the school never introduced her to other tutoring jobs.
Other jobs, such as supermarket promotions, handing out leaflets for roadside promotions, etc., can be provided to everyone in the group as usual. They have been contacted by the school and the salary is guaranteed.
But Lu Li got paid too quickly when she was a tutor. In her opinion, these jobs now have low wages and tiring work, so they are not worth doing.
So during the May Day holiday, I’d better write my manuscript at school!
Then I thought: During this time, I can actually go to the computer room to practice typing.
The school's computer lab costs one yuan an hour, and no one smokes. It's much better than the Internet cafe.
Normally there is no queue, but during the holidays there probably won’t be so many people.
When she becomes proficient in typing on the computer and can write tens of thousands of words a day, if the magazine still refuses to pay her on time, she will submit the article elsewhere... and the money will come in faster.
Thinking of this, Lu Li turned her head and glanced at Ding Wei's computer on the bed next to her.
She couldn't help but sigh again - when will she be able to buy a computer?
The gap between families is really an insurmountable gap.
No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't get what she wanted.
Other students, on the other hand, can have everything easily.
God, it's so unfair.
…
And at the end of this month, it was originally the day to pay for living expenses, but Ding Wei couldn't wait for a penny.
She smiled slightly and thought, her parents are indeed making preparations.
However, she was already prepared.
This 1,000 yuan, whether it is available or not, has no impact on her life at all.
The reason why I did it before was purely to appease them.
——If you make me unhappy, then none of us will be happy.
That's the kind of bad-mindedness.
But thinking about it, Bai Xiujuan and Ding Haiyang's life at the moment should not be too easy.
Without him, who would have allowed them to talk quickly and tell their aunt about things that were not yet seen?
It's just like in the previous life, when the white and tender baby is shown to the aunt, and then she talks about her difficulties and last resort, the aunt may become soft-hearted, and then try to persuade Ding Wei in return.
But now, one step is wrong and every step is wrong.
Not only did they tell their aunt about the disappearance of the shadow, they even refused to give their daughter living expenses because of the disappearance.
Auntie's affection for Ding Wei is now at its peak. Whenever Haitao makes any achievements or improves, she feels that it is all thanks to her niece!
How could you endure such a thing?
Therefore, during this period of time, Ding Haiyang received frequent calls from his brothers and sisters, and even came to visit him, all in order to persuade him to give up this idea.
Even Ding Haihe, who was far away from home, made three phone calls a day to persuade him desperately.
Ding Haiyang and Bai Xiujuan were very angry, let alone angry.
…
Relatives also had their own ideas when trying to persuade him.
Ding Haiyang has been like this for so many years, whether before or after marriage, he only has eyes for himself.
I don’t even bother to hold the oil bottle at home when it’s overturned. I love to dress myself up even when I’m rich.
The flashy clothes, shoes, watches, belts, and later the fishing rods and hooks that were derived from hobbies...
For all his energy in spending money, he had to find a woman like Bai Xiujuan, who only cared about her husband and felt that everything he did was right, so he could live his life steadily.
In a dual-income family, there is a girl in the family who is so pampered. How is Weiwei's life like?
To be honest, she is not as good as those favored rural girls. What kind of life are they living like this?
Therefore, how can relatives not know about the virtues of this couple?
It's just that I don't say it out loud.
It seems that it is difficult for the two of them to support themselves, and they still want to have a second child. If they can't support themselves later, it will only be a drag on Weiwei.
If we find their home again, it will be really...
In the past, everyone took it as a small-scale subsidy, but with the addition of a child, it will be different!
In short, due to various considerations, the couple is now receiving harassment on the phone every day.
But the more this happened, the more determined Ding Haiyang and Bai Xiujuan became.
This seems to be their belated rebellious period.
In their opinion, the reason why Ding Limei and Ding Haihe, who only have daughters in the family, persuaded him not to have a boy was that they were stupid and did not know the importance of boys.
On the other hand, I am also jealous that they can still ask for more.
Therefore, facing the advice of these two people, Ding Haiyang not only refused to listen, but also felt a secret sense of arrogance.
…
As for the advice given by eldest sister Ding Liping - it is simply that eldest sister does not know that hungry men are hungry when they are full.
The eldest sister already has a son, and he is the only boy in this big family, so she definitely doesn't think it's a big deal.
That advice is all nonsense.
If Ding Haiyangfan had had a boy before, he would definitely not have another one now.
With this belief, Bai Xiujuan went to the hospital more and more frequently. She would not refuse any medicine prescribed by the doctor. She must take care of her body and give birth to a fat boy for Lao Ding's family.
Moreover, he must be smarter than his sister.
At that time, the old couple will try to find a way to make more money, and his sister will also be able to help. When the child is admitted to the University of Minnesota, he will go to school for two years and then send the child abroad...
It’s so beautiful just thinking about it!
After all, Yatou Pianzi was admitted to the University of Ming Dynasty without any care. This is obviously because her genes are too good. It would be a big loss if she didn't have a son.
…
Ding Wei didn't know the minutiae of their psychology. She just finished sighing about her living expenses when she received a call from her aunt.
"Weiwei, are your parents really not giving you living expenses?"
Lu Li responded in a dull voice: "Yes."
Then he said considerately: "It's okay, auntie, I can support myself now by working part-time."
Auntie's nose felt sore - what kind of bullshit are you doing?
But saying this in front of children is not inserting a knife into a wound?
She sighed and finally said, "Weiwei, just listen to my aunt and study hard in school!"
"Be careful while working and don't hurt your body. I'll give you some money so you can save some money."
Ding Wei quickly refused: "No, no, no, aunt, now is the time for brother Haitao to exert his strength. You don't have to worry about me. You don't need to worry about me."
"Just focus on his grades. Brother Haitao is going to be successful. I won't be able to take advantage of him in the future! You don't need to send me any money. I have enough living expenses now."
However, now the aunt feels the same way and has suffered enough anger from Ding Haiyang. At this moment, it is useless for her to sacrifice brother Haitao.
Because the aunt became more and more angry and said:
"Don't mention it, your brother Haitao is very angry at home!"
"He heard my phone call that day, and if he asked me why, wouldn't I just tell him?"
The aunt sighed and felt a little relieved now: "Weiwei, don't be afraid. I will give you some money later, and you can use it as living expenses."
Then he said:
"Your brother Haitao thanks you for always caring about him. This kid is very sensible. He gave me all the pocket money he had saved as a New Year's gift, and even gave it to you. Remember to check your bank card."
The young man has accumulated a lot of money in these years, and together he has seven or eight thousand.
Can my aunt not feel distressed if she gives this money to her niece?
She was heartbroken.
That’s not how you use it if you have a family.
After all, people have a father and a mother...
But there is something good about my aunt. She knows how to educate children, she also looks for problems in herself, and she also pays special attention to family ties.
Why is Haitao so nice to his sister?
Because this child is kind-hearted and has good character, the children they teach are good.
For example, when Weiwei went to college, she was still worried about her younger brother's grades. She didn't know how much effort it took to get him all the information, but she never said it was hard.
Ding Wei: ...It’s not hard work. I just post a post in the forum and get enough money.
…
Auntie Xin said that Haitao was like this too.
Knowing that my sister has no money to live on, she is willing to give away all her money.
This child is so considerate. He is so kind to his sister now. The old couple will definitely not have to worry about their future. They must be filial!
When the aunt thought about it, her heart became hot again, as if the seven or eight thousand yuan given out were not money at all.
But at the same time, she also made up her mind that she would continue to have this insurance policy, earn more money every month, save some money for Haitao, and save her children from being burdened by illness when she gets older.
She, as a parent, cannot be so foolish and careless about such a good child...she must take good care of her.
…
Just after hanging up the phone with her aunt, Ding Wei received another message from Xuanxuan.
"Sister, my uncle won't give you living expenses, right? I asked my aunt to get your bank card number. I have 300 yuan left from the New Year's money. I haven't spent it all, so I called you!"
Ding Wei looked at this text message and burst into laughter.
He smiled, his eye circles turning red again.
——Looking at your relatives from another angle, it turns out that they are also so considerate.
She thought for a while, picked up her phone, entered the school forum, and started posting again:
[We are looking for paid tutoring materials for junior high school students, note-taking test papers, sprint questions, etc.]
This post was posted under her previous post asking for exercise materials for high school students. Because the money was generous, for students who were tutoring, it was just a matter of making more copies and sorting them out. It was too easy to make money.
Right away, several old customers immediately sent messages.
…
Ding Wei was satisfied and called her second uncle again.
"Second uncle, I am Weiwei. Xuanxuan just gave me 300 yuan. She said she gave me all her pocket money."
As she was talking, she didn't know what she had inhaled, and her nose suddenly felt a little itchy, but she couldn't seem to sneeze. She could only sniffle, and now she said with a thick nasal voice:
"Second uncle, tell Xuanxuan that you don't need to give me any money. I can make a living by working here."
The second uncle was quite surprised when he answered the phone.
His daughter eats, drinks and has fun every day, but she still has three hundred yuan left on hand, which is amazing!
He can earn and his family has money, so he doesn't think 300 yuan is anything.
Besides, this is also a relationship between sisters. To say that his brother is not honest in doing things, even treating his own daughter like this, is really a trap.
However, the second uncle also has some simple thoughts like a grown man - after all, it is blood and family ties. Weiwei should bear the responsibility if he can, and don't hate his parents, who raised him so much...
He was about to persuade me like this!
Just listen to Ding Wei's voice on the other end of the phone, which has a thick nasal sound and a slight choke. She is a woman with a daughter. How can the second uncle not be soft-hearted?
Considering that Ding Wei is only a few years older than Xuanxuan, her parents are no longer reliable...
The second uncle felt sour in his heart, and now he sighed and held back what he wanted to say——
What else are you advising!
The child is so young, and suddenly even the living expenses and tuition fees are not paid... How can I not feel resentful in my heart?
He quickly said: "Weiwei, don't take it seriously. This is Xuanxuan's intention. Do you have enough money? If you don't, tell your uncle. My second uncle will give you some money."
——His brother is really a sinner!
If you don't want such a good child, why bother with a son... What's the use of having a son?
Isn't it enough to have a child as caring as Xuanxuan?
With Xuanxuan's character as her sister's, they don't have to worry about the future.
That stupid couple doesn't think they can take care of themselves until they have a son... If they give birth to an unfilial child tomorrow, it will drag him down to death!
…
Ding Wei quickly refused: "No, no, no."
She is really rich, but she just can't tell it...until now...
well.
Ding Wei suppressed her guilt and said sincerely:
"Second uncle, I'm just telling you this. I'm really rich."
"Also, Xuanxuan is quite smart when she goes to school, but you guys don't care much about her and make her too playful."
"Girls have great potential to go to middle school and high school. With a little exploration, you can choose a good school. Second uncle, you can't let her be so playful anymore."
The second uncle sighed: "Alas."
"We thought wrong at the time. We thought the family didn't need her to work hard, and it would be bad if her child didn't get good grades. We couldn't think of a way to get her into a key class."
The second uncle originally thought that since his family had enough money, he would prepare more for his children, so that he would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life, and he would not insist on good academic performance, so that the children would be happy.
So Xuanxuan didn't get into the key classes at that time. He had connections and money, but he just didn't think it was necessary.
But as the child grew older, the social circle was thinking about how to raise the child, and the second uncle's thoughts also changed.
I used to think that it would be enough for children to be as carefree as they were when they were little.
But now I feel that girls must learn to be self-reliant and struggle on their own, so that they will not panic no matter what the situation is in the future - and if they are good enough, they will have a different mind and vision in the future, and their days will become brighter and brighter.
This is the correct way to raise your daughter.
The reason why I had this idea was that my second uncle was invited by a friend to attend a lecture given by a certain educational master.
Although the other party's main purpose was to sell books and courses, for him, it really changed his thinking and made him start to seriously examine his own training of children.
When Ding Wei mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but said:
"In ordinary classes now, the learning atmosphere is not very strong. We also feel regretful about it and are planning to work harder next semester to give her a turn."
…
Ding Wei quickly said:
"That's just right!"
No matter when, the more you know, the better.
"Second uncle, I just said that the information I collected for Xuanxuan can be sorted out in the next two days. I will also send it back by then. Remember to collect it and keep an eye on Xuanxuan's study."
The second uncle was overjoyed: "There is information here too?!"
Naturally, his family can help his children enroll in cram schools, but what’s the use of cram schools!
Look at his sister's Haitao. He has been attending cram school, so isn't his grade the same?
After receiving the information given by Weiwei, the child suddenly became more energetic. In one semester, he could go from stabilizing the second grade to 211. It doesn't matter...
Second uncle has wanted to ask about this for a long time.
This proves that the information provided by Weiwei is better.
If Ding Wei knew this mentality, she would probably laugh or cry.
…
As long as they are willing to learn, students' grades will improve rapidly under the intensive question-sea tactics of senior high school students. The information she gave may be useful, but most of it depends on Haitao's own efforts.
In addition, Haitao had a good foundation and was admitted to key high school classes by himself, but he just relaxed later.
Therefore, the performance has improved significantly, which is also expected.
But Xuanxuan is only in junior high school now, and her second uncle refuses to discipline her more, so her grades are getting more and more lax. Isn't this normal?
Ding Wei could not imagine this kind of psychology, but she could vaguely guess it.
…
"There must be information."
Ding Wei said in a good voice.
"We didn't give it before because the students in our school are all tutoring for high school students. There are relatively few junior high school students, so it's hard to collect information."
"I was afraid that collecting them casually would not be helpful to her study, so I delayed it for so long."
The second uncle was overjoyed, and now he was scolding his brother and sister-in-law for being so indifferent.
But Ding Wei still has instructions.
"Second uncle, I have sent you the information, but you must not place all your hopes on the information. The most important thing is Xuanxuan's own efforts. You can't let her play casually. You should keep a close eye on her.
Keep an eye on it.”
The second uncle didn't care that Ding Wei was on the other end of the phone and couldn't see his movements at all. At this moment, he nodded repeatedly with an unstoppable smile on his face:
"I'm sure I'm watching, I'm definitely watching."
Must keep an eye on it!
…
Ding Wei hung up the phone and sighed in her heart——
Xuanxuan, please don’t hate me either.
Sister, I really appreciate your 300 yuan, that’s why I came up with this method. Regardless of your family background, if you have good grades, you must be better than anything else.
When there are individual development opportunities or something, it will save the time in my previous life when I fell in love with a mama's boy in high school, got married early, and finally faced such an in-law's family. Every day was full of nonsense. Posting on WeChat Moments either wanted a divorce or
Want a divorce...
Sister, I will give you multiple options now.
…
That being said, Ding Wei felt quite guilty for preparing such a large set of questions for young girls.
After all, for Xuanxuan, what she gave herself was full of sincerity, but what she received in return was the boring confinement of adults.
She sighed, put away the phone and was about to go back to the dormitory, when she saw an unfamiliar number calling.
The very long prefix seems... to be an international number.
Ding Wei was stunned for a moment and hung up.
——Are there any scam calls these days?
Unexpectedly, as soon as I hung up, the other end kept calling me again.
After hanging up three times in a row, Ding Wei finally got through.
"Hello……"
Just as he opened his mouth, a girl's voice said urgently on the other end of the phone:
"Sister, why do you keep hanging up on me? Are you still in class? I checked the time - you are still in class at this time, isn't it too hard?"
Ding Wei was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to find an unfamiliar name in her memory. Then she asked hesitantly——
"Ruirui?"
"It's me, sister."
The caller was Ding Rui, the daughter of second aunt Ding Limei who has been studying abroad.
Ding Rui's voice on the other end was urgent and fast: "Hey, sister, I won't bother you anymore. International phone calls are so expensive! I don't make much money from my part-time job now..."
"But my parents gave me a lot, and I have saved a little money. If you give me your bank card number later, I will find a way to send the money back to you... I have never done this before transferring money in the bank. Normally,
My parents directly exchanged the Australian dollars and transferred them to me..."
As she talked, her chattering was mixed with a series of fast and idiomatic English.
Ding Wei couldn't help but think: This little cousin is studying in Australia. Although her grades are not very good, her language skills are indeed good. No wonder she can set up a language school after returning to China and be successful.
She quickly refused: "No, no, I'm working part-time myself, and the money is completely enough."
"Besides, Haitao and Xuanxuan also sent me money just now. Don't worry about this. Just stay abroad. When you return to China, we can get together slowly."
However, Ruirui has always been a stickler at home, and now she is quite decisive:
"Don't say this. I'm just letting you know that the money will be in your account by then. Just don't be confused about where it came from."
"Don't say that working is enough. I heard from my mother that she doesn't even plan to pay tuition fees. It's really difficult to earn tuition fees."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh.
Studying abroad is different from studying in China. Tuition fees at good domestic universities are generally not too expensive, and can even be said to be cheap.
But in foreign countries, tuition costs tens of thousands of dollars a year. Many college students work part-time while studying, because the burden is too heavy.
After a lot of chattering, Ding Rui quickly hung up the phone again when she saw that the phone bill was not enough.
"Sister, stop talking. I have to go to work. I will make pizza now. When I get back, I will make pizza for you to eat."
She currently works part-time in a pizza shop, and her salary has recently been increased to 10 Australian dollars an hour. In addition to the hard work, she is indeed not short of money.
…
At the same time as she hung up the phone, Ding Wei's cell phone dinged, and suddenly there was another 10,000 yuan added to her bank card, as well as a message from her aunt.
"Have you received the money? Don't be afraid, I will save this money to pay your tuition."
Ding Wei replied to the message, put her phone back in her pocket, stood on the corridor and looked through the window at the clear sky outside, and suddenly felt that her mood couldn't be better.
——For such a good relative, why did his attitude towards me in his previous life not be very good?
At that time, my aunt always advised me to save money and spend less money.
The second aunt even said that girls love to compare, which is not a good habit.
But her situation in her previous life was far worse than in this life. With only four to five hundred yuan a month, she could really make do.
After thinking about it, Ding Wei probably understood in her heart - Ding Haiyang and Bai Xiujuan had to carry this pot.
But who would have thought?
The biological parents tried their best to ruin the child's reputation. They obviously didn't give him that much living expenses, but they insisted on claiming that it was that much.
Such strange parents, Ding Wei thought to herself, there are really many strange things in the world.
It is precisely because of this inexplicable accusation that her relationship with her relatives is getting worse and worse.
Ding Wei felt that her relatives would only criticize her, but no one knew how wronged she was.
Relatives feel that even if Ding Haiyang is unreliable as a parent, Weiwei's schooling is really a waste of money.
They also don’t care about their parents. The old couple is lonely at home, and their daughter has taken out all their money... Can’t we have no hope in old age?
It is understandable to have another child.
After going back and forth, there are barriers between both sides.
The only difference between this life and the last time I faced my family is that I can complain and tell the truth.
But it turns out that if she just said one more word, the situation would be completely different.
