Chapter 758 We Must Participate!
Mr. Wang took his daughter's hand and walked a few steps forward before he heard his wife whisper, "If you want to go, then go. Nuonuo and I will go with you. We'll follow you wherever you go."
Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment before he realized what his wife meant, and he suddenly turned to look at her.
His wife silently put away her phone and smiled slightly, "Go ahead and do it. The kids and I are your support. Besides, didn't you say before that your company's young boss, although young, is very capable and decisive? Maybe in a while, the situation will change, and you'll be transferred back. Everything will be alright."
Although Mr. Wang was not as optimistic as his wife, hearing her say that gave him a little more hope, and he nodded with a faint smile.
I never imagined that my wife's words would come true in the near future.
Ye Wanxi and her husband were unaware of the little incident that had happened to the young couple. After selling the balloons, they finally had some initial capital to buy groceries.
While Ye Wanxi was calculating what vegetables to buy with this little money to make it more economical, she handed the balloon in her hand to Feng Tianyu.
"For me?"
Even though he had expected it, Feng Tianyu couldn't help but feel a little excited when he received the balloon, because Ye Wanxi had just told the little girl that she was going to give it to someone she liked.
But after calming down and thinking about it, I realized that what my junior sister had said was that the balloon resembled someone she liked...
Feng Tianyu looked up at the round, chubby chibi-style lion: "..." How is it similar!
Ye Wanxi didn't notice her senior brother's inner turmoil and smiled slightly: "When the old headmaster was still here, there were many children in the academy, but only a few adults. They couldn't take care of everyone, let alone take everyone out to play. So, we rarely went out back then, and even when we did, we basically only went to school, living a very simple life."
“Until I grew up and went to junior high school, there were still many children in the orphanage, but the orphanage was even poorer. It was already difficult for the old director and the others to support us, let alone support our schooling, but I still wanted to continue my studies, so I started to secretly go out to find work to earn my living expenses and tuition fees.”
Feng Tianyu's heart stirred slightly, and he turned to look at her intently.
“I was young and a student at the time, so my hours were irregular and many shops were unwilling to hire me. I could only do part-time jobs like handing out flyers. I remember one time, there happened to be a temple fair nearby, which was very, very lively.”
Ye Wanxi's eyes gradually became misty, filled with nostalgia: "People came and went, many adults and many children. I was standing at the intersection handing out flyers, and there was a vendor selling balloons not far from me. Many adults brought their children to buy them. I stood there watching for as long as I was handing out flyers..."
Even though she had long believed that she had a weak bond with her parents, she still felt envious and longed for it when she saw adults taking their children to buy balloons.
I envy them for having parents who love them, and I also envy them for having the toys they want.
Back then, balloons weren't as expensive as they are now, but Ye Wanxi, who only earned a few dozen yuan a day distributing flyers, ultimately couldn't bear to spend that money to buy herself a balloon.
This also means that even though she is no longer a child, she still can't help but want to buy one and hold it in her hand whenever she sees it, in order to fill the emptiness and loneliness she once felt.
After hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Feng Tianyu subconsciously tightened his grip on the balloon string.
Suddenly, he understood why Ye Wanxi had given him such a balloon; it was something she had once longed for but could never have.
It is precious because it is unattainable, and because it is precious, I want to give it to him.
Feng Tianyu was both happy and heartbroken, regretting and remorseful that he hadn't met the person in front of him sooner to make up for everything she had missed.
"When we have children in the future, we can buy them balloons and toys, take them to the amusement park, and let them eat all kinds of delicious food."
Everything you once longed for but never had will be made up for.
Ye Wanxi's focus was a bit off; upon hearing the word "child," her ears turned red, and she glared at Feng Tianyu with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.
Feng Tianyu touched his nose and said nothing more.
Just then, a lively commotion suddenly came from not far away, and people all around were surging in one direction.
"What's that sound? It seems to be coming from over there."
Ye Wanxi and her companion walked forward with the flow of people. A young man was walking next to them. When he heard what she said, he turned around and saw that she was a beautiful woman. He immediately took the initiative to start a conversation.
"That's the sound of the gong signaling the start of the match; these people are all going to watch the game."
"Competition? What competition?"
The young man glanced at the two of them and asked, "You're not from around here, are you?"
"No, we're from out of town."
"No wonder. Today is our annual big festival. In addition to a series of traditional programs such as dragon and lion dances, there are also competitions in the evening."
Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow. No wonder the market was so crowded today. Even on the weekend, it was unusually lively. It turned out to be a festival.
"Hey, that shelf over there, see it?"
The two looked in the direction the young man pointed and found a bamboo frame that was about eight or nine meters tall.
A beautiful colorful ball hangs directly above the shelf, and various pretty ribbons are tied below it.
"The contestants climb from the bottom to the top without using any tools and grab the ball at the very top. They win the grand prize of this festival, receiving not only a prize of one thousand yuan but also a commemorative medal personally awarded by the town mayor. It's a symbol of heroism, and who doesn't like a hero? Who knows, you might even meet a pretty girl and settle down with her."
The young man still felt a little regretful when he said this. His small frame was no match for those strong men. He couldn't even climb up the wooden frame, let alone beat them.
Therefore, this event is something he will never have the chance to participate in in his lifetime.
Ye Wanxi and her companion didn't care about medals at all; they were completely overwhelmed by the information the young man had revealed.
"One thousand yuan!"
This is a huge sum of money for them now, considering that they only earned about a hundred yuan after selling balloons all night.
Participate in this competition and you can win a thousand yuan in one go!
The cameraman following the two men, watching their gleaming eyes flashing with money symbols, suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, the next second they heard Ye Wanxi ask the young man, "Are there any restrictions on the competition? Is it still possible to register now?"
The young man was taken aback: "There are no restrictions, and you don't need to register. Why are you asking this? It can't be that..."
Ye Wanxi's eyes lit up, and she made the decision: "We want to participate!"
