Wen Ying and her aunt's family celebrated at Xia Wang. After returning home, they locked the publishing contract in the drawer and were in a happy mood while doing the test paper.
When people are in a good mood, the sky becomes bluer and the water becomes clearer, and everything looks pleasing to the eye. After finishing only half of the test paper, Chen Ru and her husband went home.
Wen Ying called "Mom" very loudly, which surprised Chen Ru a little.
The cram school is closed today, and Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong have a rare weekend to rest at home for half a day.
The couple exchanged glances, and Wen Dongrong was curious: What happened?
Chen Ru turned her head away: I don’t care, I don’t care!
The college entrance examination has been reformed this year. The time has been changed from July in previous years to June. Among Wen Ying's relatives and friends, Qin Jiao and Wen Kai will both take the college entrance examination.
The difference is that Qin Jiao is a freshman, while Wen Kai is a repeater.
Qin Jiao is under pressure, and Wen Kai is under even greater pressure.
Last year, Wen Kai scored 569 points, 31 points higher than the first-tier line, but he chose to repeat the year. It is still unknown how many points he will get this year.
Most students will improve their scores if they repeat the year, but a small number of repeaters will perform worse and worse.
Wen Dongrong first asked Wen Ying if she had eaten lunch. After receiving a positive answer, Wen Dongrong talked about Wen Kai:
"I heard from my aunt that Wen Kai has been working too hard lately. He has lost a lot of weight and the prescription of his glasses has increased. He must be under a lot of pressure."
Wen Dongrong was talking to Wen Ying, but actually he was speaking to the whole family.
Chen Ru is more open-minded now, mainly because of the contrast with the three members of the Shu family. The other relatives of her husband's family are quite lovely. Wen Kai has already settled down in the city and has long been self-reliant. Wen Dongrong does not need to provide any subsidies, so it doesn't hurt to show some concern - Wen Dongrong really has no money to provide any more subsidies. The family is now financially tight because of renovating the house, and he would feel guilty if he kept hiding some private money.
——Alas, he used to receive a subsidy of 500 yuan every month, but for some reasons he can no longer get it. Wen Dongrong feels very resentful.
"How about letting Brother Kai come to Rongcheng to relax?"
There will be a holiday two days before the college entrance examination.
Wen Ying suggested something, and Wen Dongrong didn't object. He just looked around the rented house and said, "There are only two rooms. Where will your brother Kai sleep when he comes?"
There is no reason to let guests sleep on the sofa in any part of the country.
Wen Ying blurted out, "You and Brother Kai can share a room, and I'll sleep with my mom!"
After she said that, Wen Ying felt something was not right.
Was she tricked by Lao Wen?
Wen Dongrong's expression didn't change at all, and Chen Ru had no expression on her face. The head of the family turned to his wife and asked, "Is this okay?"
Chen Ru also felt that Wen Dongrong was playing tricks.
But Chen Ru was not afraid.
Just sleep together. What’s wrong with a mother and daughter sleeping in the same bed?
The "cold war" between Chen Ru and Wen Ying is more on the spiritual level. It's not that the mother and daughter don't talk to each other at home, but Chen Ru unilaterally doesn't want to ask about Wen Ying's affairs anymore.
Sleeping in the same bed with her daughter wouldn't change the issue. Chen Ru nodded fearlessly, "Sure, as long as Wen Kai is willing to come and play."
Wen Dongrong coughed twice and said, "Of course I'm willing. I'll call my sister-in-law and ask her to talk to Wen Kai."
"Brother Kai won't be here until next week. Why don't we bring Grandma and Uncle to Rongcheng to spend a day? Grandma doesn't even know where our new house is."
In the previous life, Wen Ying's family lived in the same community in Rongcheng as they do now, but Grandma Wen and Chen Ru had a bad relationship, so Grandma Wen never came to Wen Ying's house in Rongcheng.
In her previous life, Wen Ying always felt that her grandmother favored boys over girls. In this life, from a more fair standpoint, she could say that her grandmother did favor boys over girls, but it would also be wrong to say that she didn't care about Wen Ying at all.
Even if people are related by blood, they still need to live together to deepen their relationship. Elderly people love whichever grandchild they take care of more. Wen Ying is no longer at the age where she would be jealous that her grandmother loves her cousin more.
Wen Ying said this beautifully, and Wen Dongrong was very satisfied.
——He still has the final say in the Wen family.
However, remembering that his wife had hit him with the account book when she got angry, Wen Dongrong did not dare to make a decision on his own, but asked his wife for her opinion.
Chen Ru didn't object. "Come if you want to. You're the one who picks me up anyway."
Wen Dongrong called, but Wen Kai was not at home and he didn't know whether he would agree or not. Grandma Wen was very willing to come to Chengdu.
For Grandma Wen, her second son is very promising. Not only is he a government official, he has also bought a house in the provincial capital and now even a car. The old lady has wanted to come and see him for a long time, but her daughter-in-law Chen Ru did not speak up, so the old lady was embarrassed to mention it - the promising Wen Dongrong is the old lady's biological son, and the disgraceful Wen Hongyan is also the old lady's biological daughter. As for the things Wen Hongyan has done, the old lady is too embarrassed to speak to Chen Ru!
After Chen Ru and Wen Ying started their cold war, the family hadn't sat down to discuss anything together for a long time. They were discussing Wen Kai and others coming to visit next week. For the first time, Wen Ying asked about the progress of the house renovation.
Chen Ru was about to say, "None of your business," but Wen Dongrong quickly spoke up, "The plumbing and electrical renovations are complete. The next step is painting the walls and tiling. Your mom suggested painting the walls of your room pink. Is that okay with you?"
“……?!”
Pink walls?
Wen Ying has a square head.
As far as she could remember, she had never slept in a pink room. Wen Ying had never owned a princess dress or a lace dress.
When she was a child, Wen Ying had fantasized about a princess-style room. Now she was no longer old enough to even complain about her grandmother Wen’s preference for boys over girls, so naturally she was no longer old enough to like the princess-style room.
"Let's go with a white wall. It's more attractive and easier to decorate."
Wen Ying wasn't sure whether Manager Chen really thought so or whether Old Wen was just acting on his own, but she really didn't like the pink walls. No family member could express their preferences openly, and life in this family was still as depressing as before.
