Wen Ying was stunned for a moment holding the registration form.
She thought about many things in her past and present lives, and that old question came up again. If she could go back to this life, would she have to follow the trajectory of her previous life again?
Even though she was quite successful in her previous life, there was still something missing.
It has been half a month since her rebirth, and Wen Ying is becoming more and more certain that she does not want to repeat the old path!
If things in her previous life remained unchanged, why would she bother with it now? Her aunt would divorce her uncle, and Xie Qian would die young. These were the outcomes that Wen Ying didn't want to see and was trying her best to avoid.
As for herself, she does whatever she wants to do, sets small goals first, and then long-term goals, taking every step carefully and steadily. Even if she still doesn't get everything she dreams of in the end, she will not have any regrets.
After figuring this out, Wen Ying suddenly became enlightened.
She has decided to participate in the New Concept Composition Competition held by "Mengya" magazine. This registration form was cut out from the May issue of "Mengya". There is no need to rush now, because the deadline for submission of the preliminary round of the New Concept Composition Competition is November. Wen Ying still has plenty of time to prepare, and there is no need to rush to write overnight to make up for the regrets of her previous life.
Wen Ying put the registration form alone in the drawer, calmed herself down, and continued to study junior high school mathematics.
Don't rush, take your time.
If she can't calm down to study, everything is meaningless, let alone making up for her regrets. It is very likely that she will become the first special case among the reborn people who dropped out of school after completing only nine years of compulsory education... Wen Ying understands the truth, but the learning progress of Ma Dongmei (open-book) and Sun Honglei (closed-book) still almost makes her collapse.
Wen Ying was able to gain a foothold in the Magic City in her previous life. She had a fighting spirit that never gave up. If she couldn't remember it after reading it once, she would read it twice. If she couldn't remember it after reading it twice, she would read it three times. Before she knew it, Wen Ying had stayed up all night.
Deng Yaomei got up early to prepare breakfast for the family. Wen Ying came out yawning. Deng Yaomei asked her if she didn't sleep well last night. Wen Ying had two dark circles under her eyes: "Don't say it, I read all night last night. Yaomei, do you have coffee at home? Can you make me a cup? No sugar!"
Deng Yaomei was heartbroken.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get you some. You're really working so hard studying!"
A few minutes later, Deng Yaomei brought not only coffee but also two boiled eggs to Wen Ying.
Deng Yaomei couldn't understand why some people liked to drink coffee. Even if sugar was added, it felt like drinking Chinese medicine. Chen Li and Deng Shangwei didn't drink it. The stock they had at home was given to them by others.
But Wen Ying likes to drink, and Deng Yaomei won't comment on it. Yaomei has always been like this. Although she is not well educated, she knows how to respect and tolerate others.
Wen Ying suddenly remembered that Deng Yaomei had dropped out of school in the second year of junior high school, and couldn't help asking her, "Yaomei, what are your plans for the future?"
Deng Yaomei didn't react for a moment and asked Wen Ying what would happen next.
"In the future, although you can always stay at my aunt's house and our whole family likes you very much, have you ever thought that besides being a nanny, you can also do other jobs?"
Wen Ying's soul-searching question stumped Deng Yaomei.
Deng Yaomei was often beaten and scolded by her alcoholic father in her hometown. Her family was poor and worried about food and clothing. After she dropped out of junior high school, her alcoholic father wanted to marry her to an old man who could give her a dowry of 30,000 yuan. Deng Yaomei didn't want to marry, so her father beat her with a belt until her skin was torn and flesh was exposed. Some people in the village tried to persuade her, but her alcoholic father argued that he was beating his own daughter and asked others to mind their business. The village cadres were so angry at this old man that they vomited blood.
It happened that Deng Shangwei went back to his hometown to do some business at that time, and the village cadres mentioned Deng Yaomei. Deng Shangwei and Deng Yaomei's families were related. Chen Li had just given birth to her youngest son Deng Hao a few months ago and needed someone to help take care of the child. After asking Chen Li for consent, Deng Shangwei took Deng Yaomei back to Chengdu and kept her at home as a nanny.
Deng Yaomei's alcoholic father did not agree at first, but later the villagers said that working outside would earn him a monthly salary, which would be more cost-effective than the 30,000 yuan dowry in the long run, so the alcoholic agreed.
In a blink of an eye, Deng Yaomei has been working as a nanny for five years.
Seeing that Deng Yaomei worked diligently, Chen Li and Deng Shangwei not only provided her with food and accommodation, but also bought her clothes, shoes and socks. Deng Yaomei basically sent all of her monthly salary back home. After five years, her salary exceeded 30,000 yuan. Deng Yaomei's alcoholic father must be very satisfied... What about Deng Yaomei herself? Should she continue to contribute to her alcoholic father like this?
The 16-year-old Wen Ying couldn't think of these things, and even felt a little perfunctory towards her friend Deng Yaomei.
31-year-old Wen Ying has a completely older sister mentality in front of Deng Yaomei. She doesn't mind thinking about things that Deng Yaomei can't think of.
Twenty years old is still very young!
My little sister is so envious of Wen Ying for being able to study. Have you ever thought about going back to school?
Seeing her confusion, Wen Ying brought up the matter. Deng Yaomei waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's just that I can't concentrate. In fact, Sister Chen and Big Brother asked me two years ago if I wanted to go back to school. I'm just too slow and can't concentrate!"
It turned out that what Wen Ying was thinking of had already been mentioned to Deng Yaomei by Chen Li and Deng Shangwei, but it was Deng Yaomei herself who did not agree.
Wen Ying felt that Deng Yaomei had a thirst for knowledge. Deng Yaomei would cover all the textbooks that Wen Ying placed at Chen Li's house after asking for Wen Ying's permission.
But Deng Yaomei was full of concerns about starting over and felt very insecure.
Is it really because I’m too stupid to learn?
Not necessarily.
When Deng Yaomei first came to Chengdu, she was very unfashionable. She didn't even dare to take the bus, didn't know how to use a gas stove, and didn't dare to communicate with outsiders. Now she knows everything, and even her accent has become a Chengdu accent. If you weren't an insider, who would tell that Deng Yaomei was a country girl?
