Chapter 45 Script...
"Hehe." Miya hugged the newspaper in her hands and couldn't help but chuckle.
She knew perfectly well that girls in this world could earn money and support themselves.
But before experiencing it firsthand, everything seemed like a castle in the air, illusory and unreal to her.
Money is the foundation of confidence.
"Baozhu, thank you!"
The solemn words made Cui Baozhu feel both sweet and burdened, and she could only encourage Miya with a firm look in her eyes.
Having succeeded the first time, doing it a second time didn't seem so difficult.
Soon, Miya's second article was published in the newspaper, attracting a lot of attention.
If the first success was just luck, then the second success proves that Mia's articles do have merit.
As a result, a group of parents who felt that their children were as literate as Mia and had even started school unconsciously began to force their children to learn too quickly.
"You don't even recognize the character '紫' (purple), how are you going to write an article? Copy it fifty times before dark!"
“If even a little girl can do it, our Tianbao will definitely be even more amazing! Come on, Grandma will give you some more meat to nourish your body. Tomorrow, write an article and send it directly to the provincial capital's daily newspaper!”
"If I remember correctly, that girl only attended a literacy class. She can make money, so she must have some tricks up her sleeve. I'll ask someone about it tomorrow."
Whether Mia will reveal the secret or not, and whether there really is a trick to it, is completely beyond the consideration of some people.
So the next day, when Miya followed Cui Dani to the field as usual to pick corn, she encountered an uninvited guest.
“Miya, I’m your Aunt Zhang, the one at the very bottom of the plot.”
The two houses were far apart, and although they had cleared the land together, Miya really didn't have any impression of the old lady in front of her.
When facing strangers, she habitually flashes a kind smile, "Aunt Zhang."
"Hey!" Aunt Zhang called out with a smile, her wrinkles resembling a blooming chrysanthemum.
Cui Dani squinted, staring intently at the old man in front of her, trying to see what tricks he was going to play.
If she remembered correctly, this woman had only recently moved into the family compound.
The house is all set up, and the land has been cleared. It's not wrong to say we've come here to enjoy life.
They rarely come to my door, so they must have something to ask for.
"Sister Zhang looks unfamiliar. Is she Battalion Commander Huang's mother?"
Cui Dani's sudden words left Aunt Zhang somewhat bewildered, but she quickly composed herself, put on a smile, and nodded emphatically.
“My wife told me that the girl helped a lot when we were clearing the land. It’s a rare opportunity to meet her, so I couldn’t help but come up and get to know her.”
After a string of small talk, even Miya, who wasn't very good at social niceties, could tell that the other party's intentions were not simple.
Therefore, Cui Dani and her daughter Miya chose to remain silent.
Suddenly, the scene fell into a deathly silence, with only the birds flying in the sky, the cicadas chirping in the forest, and the sound of flowing water along the road.
"Hahaha!"
Aunt Zhang's enthusiasm did not seem to be extinguished by Miya's silence, and a loud and boisterous laugh rang out.
Then, he suddenly grabbed Miya's hand and gently patted the back of her hand affectionately.
"I felt an instant connection with you the moment I saw you, so please don't be shy."
The sudden action left Miya completely bewildered. She tried to pull her hand away, but no matter how hard she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, leaving deep footprints on the ground, she couldn't escape.
Seeing Miya's fear, Cui Dani grabbed one of them with each hand and helped separate them.
Looking down, I could see the marks left on Miya's wrist from clenching her fists; it was heartbreaking to see.
Let alone showing kindness to strangers, Cui Dani feels that her current lack of anger is a sign of good upbringing.
"What are you doing, sister! The child is in pain."
"Please forgive me, it's the first time I've seen such a nice girl, I couldn't help but use my strength."
After saying that, Aunt Zhang took out a piece of broken sugar from her pocket with a pained expression.
"Here, little sister, have a piece of candy to sweeten your mouth."
The golden-brown sugar cubes were mixed with other colors, and when combined with Aunt Zhang's dark fingernails, Miya almost vomited on the spot.
He immediately raised both hands to his chest and shook them violently.
"No, no! Auntie, please keep it for your own children."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang's eyes and brows unconsciously lit up with a smile. After confirming that Miya didn't want it, she happily and quickly stuffed it back into her pocket.
"If you don't want it, then forget it."
At this moment, only a fool would not understand the other party's true intentions.
There was still work to be done in the fields, and Cui Dani didn't have time to chat with idle people. She said directly, "If you don't have anything else to do, we'll get back to work in the fields."
"Alright," he said, moving the basket beside him to prepare to continue picking corn.
Miya followed along, carrying a sickle.
When Aunt Zhang saw that the two were about to get back to work, she could no longer keep them in suspense and pretended to be embarrassed as she revealed her true purpose.
"Hey! Girl, wait a minute."
She stopped the two of them, but accidentally stepped into a ditch. "Pah! What bad luck!"
The shoes were sticky and wet, but I didn't care. I just shook them off and continued the conversation.
"Hehe! I heard that your Miya was in the newspaper, she's a top-notch person."
Alright, needless to say, the mother and daughter understood what the visitor meant.
Perhaps feeling that she had already spoken her mind, Aunt Zhang no longer tried to hide anything and stated with an air of righteous indignation:
“We’re all from the same residential compound, so we’re all family. Now that Miya has made it into the newspaper, she should bring the young people from the compound along with her.”
“Our Chun Shen is a promising talent that even the high school principal praised. He thought that he hadn’t seen his older brother for many years, so he came to stay with me for a while.”
“Miya can communicate and discuss with us in Chun Shen. If we can have more people in the family compound featured in the newspaper, you, as the leader, will also look good.”
Well, shameless! He's just asking for a beating.
Cui Dani was well-known in the village, so she could easily see through the ulterior motives of the person in front of her.
Forget about communicating, she wouldn't even let the two young people touch each other.
"High school student!"
The three words that suddenly exploded in her ears were like a landslide, leaving Aunt Zhang completely stunned.
She was about to nod smugly when she saw the blatant mockery on Cui Dani's face, and what she said next made her heart clench.
"High school students? My Miya is just a little girl who attended a literacy class for two or three months. How can she compare to high school students? High school students are all college-ready. I suppose your Chun Shen has already been admitted to university?"
"What university? Coming all the way to the family compound, you must have taken the entrance exam for Diancheng University in the provincial capital, right?"
Aunt Zhang gets breathless whenever the topic of university comes up.
After finally supporting his youngest son through college entrance exams, something went wrong and he failed. That's why he came to the family compound specifically to ask his eldest son for help in finding a suitable job.
Cui Dani's words were tantamount to slapping her in the face.
But no matter what, Aunt Zhang would never tell anyone about her youngest son's embarrassing incident.
After stammering for a while, he could only utter a harsh remark that wasn't really a threat before running away in a sorry state.
“If you don’t want to, then don’t. Why drag my Chun Shen into this for no reason! You’re such a miser, a penny-pincher. I’ll just wait and see how many more times your family will be in the newspapers.”
All I can say is that Aunt Zhang's wish has come true.
After having her short stories published in the newspaper a few times, Miya began to prepare to try writing a full-length article, also at the invitation of the newspaper.
However, before fulfilling her promise to the newspaper, she received another, more important job offer.
"Director Qin, do you really think I can do it?"
“What’s wrong with that? I’ve read your articles several times because Zhenzhen kept nagging me. They have a simple and honest feel to them, and they’re very relatable to the general public.”
"Therefore, I feel that this task can only be done by you."
Director Qin's willingness to trust her ignited a fire in Miya's chest, filling her with excitement.
She nodded emphatically, her eyes resolute, and replied solemnly, "Director Qin, I will definitely finish the script as soon as possible."
That's right, Mia received a scriptwriting job.
Upon hearing the topic, Miya couldn't help but think of her own experiences.
She is lucky now, but in the past, she and many others like her were trapped and died.
In addition, when I first heard Director Qin speak about women's work, he mentioned the new Marriage Law and the many possibilities that women in the new era are full of.
Having a rare opportunity, she inexplicably wanted to do something.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Miya's scriptwriting is nearing completion, but Ren Qingsong has not yet finished his mission and gone home. Miya and Cui Dani are gradually getting used to this kind of life.
The two harvested all the crops from the fields. Since Mianning is located in the south, they can plant another crop in the winter.
Cui Dani had consulted with the locals early on and decided to plant various winter vegetables in the fall, such as cabbage, radishes, and spinach...
The thought of having so many different dishes to choose from in winter makes Cui Dani reluctant to go back to her hometown.
The remaining land was all used to grow rapeseed, because in those days, no household was without oil.
The rapeseed on the three acres of land is enough to make enough oil for Miya and her husband to eat in Mianning, and they can also send some back to their hometown so that their family can also taste the flavor of rapeseed oil.
The mother and daughter worked for three days and finally managed to plant everything they needed to.
At this time, Ren Qingsong still hadn't returned, but Miya's script had been completed, and she was preparing to have it reviewed by Director Qin to see if there was anything inappropriate or that needed to be revised.
"Director Qin, this is my first time writing, and I'm figuring things out as I go. If there's anything inappropriate, I'll revise it right away."
Qin Yueru smiled as she took the script, soothing him with gentle eyes.
"Don't be nervous, have some tea and some peach shortbread. I estimate I'll be watching for a while."
