Two months later, Li Jingjing returned from Japan, holding her trophy for the "Excellent Song Award".

Then, three newspapers published the news of her winning the award, and two of them arranged exclusive interviews with her.

Although everyone is not clear about what the Japanese award is and how valuable it is, it doesn’t matter. As long as you win the award, especially if it is a foreign award, it sounds very high-end.

In this era, people still have very thick filters for developed countries.

Aunt Huang took the newspaper and asked Li's mother, "Take a quick look. This is Li Jingjing. Is she your child?"

"What is that?" Li's mother took the newspaper suspiciously and looked at it for a long time.

"Her name is Li Jingjing, a singer! Didn't your child say a while ago that she wanted to go abroad? It just so happens that she's the right person!" Aunt Huang said excitedly, "It must be your child, right? Oh, Jingjing has made it big, she's even been reported in the newspapers! Old Li, you have to enjoy Jingjing's blessing!"

Mother Li looked confused, and after a while she said, "Will I ever be able to enjoy her blessing in this life? Humph, you are dreaming. She is the most useless and idle person in my family."

When Aunt Huang saw Li's mother like this, she smiled awkwardly, said nothing more, and went back to her home.

Although Li's mother said that, she did not return the newspaper to Aunt Huang. After Aunt Huang left, she read the newspaper again and again, with anticipation in her heart.

That girl really made it to the newspaper?

Li Jingjing said she was singing, but Li's mother didn't know what Li Jingjing sang or how she sang. Her family didn't have a TV, only a semiconductor that was bought more than ten years ago. It was always broken and no one repaired it.

She thought that Li Jingjing was just like the street performers in the old society. She sang well and passers-by gave her tips, which was no different from begging.

However, if it really appeared in the newspaper, it would mean that it was not what she wanted.

Mother Li put the newspaper away, thinking that she would ask Li Jingjing when she came back.

If she is really successful, she can also help her brothers and sisters at home.

But no matter how long I waited, Li Jingjing never came home.

Aunt Huang came over again and said to Li's mother happily, "Your Jingjing is so polite. She even thought of bringing me a gift when she went abroad. This dress is so fashionable. How can an old woman like me wear it out? Hahaha..."

Mother Li stared at the clothes in Aunt Huang's hand and asked through gritted teeth, "Did Li Jingjing buy this for you?"

Aunt Huang realized something was wrong and stammered, "Uh... the person who brought me the clothes... said this..."

Li's mother's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was dripping out.

When Aunt Huang saw this, she quickly slipped away quietly.

As soon as I walked out of Li's door, I heard a clanging sound from inside, as if Li's mother had kicked over a stool.

This ungrateful girl would rather buy things for outsiders than for her family! If she has the guts, she should never come home in her life!

Even if Li Jingjing didn't go home, she knew what her mother was thinking. But those things couldn't affect her now. She was very busy.

After returning to China, she was interviewed by a newspaper and soon a TV station invited her to sing on TV.

She used to sing behind the scenes, but this time she was going to show her face. Li Jingjing was nervous but more excited.

It has to be said that An Hua's move of letting Li Jingjing go abroad to participate in competitions to gild her reputation was effective.
