The cousin and good friend who were far away in the capital were happy for Wen Ying.
The Wen family members who stayed in their hometown were really dumbfounded.
Wen Ying had never expected that her promotional videos would cause such a storm in the old Wen family.
The Wen family had known for a long time that Wen Ying had published a novel.
But knowing is one thing, and seeing Wen Ying’s promotional video on TV is another... Grandma Wen didn’t understand whether she would publish a book or not, but she understood it when she saw her on TV.
Anyone who can appear on TV must be the best.
Wen Ying's aunt Zhu Meiqun didn't know what to say. It took her a long time after the trailer ended to find her voice:
"That girl Sakura, has she become a big star?"
Uncle Wen's face lit up. "It's not a celebrity. Dongrong said it was to promote an essay contest. We, the roughnecks, don't understand what kind of contest it is. You just need to know that it's amazing!"
They all have the surname Wen. Uncle Wen was so happy that his niece was successful that his face turned red with excitement. He was afraid that the old lady couldn't understand the promotional video, so he acted as a tour guide.
Grandma Wen nodded frequently after hearing the explanation: "No wonder the second child always praises me. If there is a child like this, the whole house will be bright and spacious!"
I wonder if it will be broadcast tomorrow?
If it is still broadcast, we have to inform our relatives and fellow villagers in the countryside.
Uncle Wen wasn't too sure either, "Then I'll have to ask my second brother!"
When Wen Ying was told that she had published a novel, the people in her hometown in the countryside didn't understand. They were skeptical and looked like they were saying "stop bragging", which left Uncle Wen speechless.
It’s different when it’s on TV. It’s broadcast on TV, so how can it be fake?
Uncle Wen feels that his niece Wen Ying’s promotional video is as significant as his son Wen Kai’s admission to Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics this year. Both are major events that bring honor to the Wen family!
The mother and son were excitedly discussing returning home, while Zhu Meiqun, who was standing beside them, lowered her head and said nothing.
Zhu Meiqun was naturally happy, but her happiness was mixed with a bit of inexplicable melancholy.
Wen Ying used to stay still, but now she moves around and takes a step forward, leaving Wen Kai far behind.
She was an ordinary girl last year, but this year she has become so dazzling!
Zhu Meiqun was not so vicious as to curse Wen Ying for bad luck, but as a mother, she always hoped that her child would be better than other children. Usually, the children she compared her child with were those of acquaintances and relatives.
Wen Kai did not disappoint Zhu Meiqun's expectations.
After repeating a year, Wen Kai was admitted to Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics this year. What an outstanding child, better than the children around him. If there is anything that Wen Ying cannot compare to, it is his family conditions, right?
Wen Kai is attending university in Beijing, and Zhu Meiqun gives her son 600 yuan a month for living expenses.
Zhu Meiqun had inquired about the living expenses. The general standard was 400-800 yuan, and there were definitely higher ones. However, in her circle of life, Zhu Meiqun did not know any wealthy families that gave their children living expenses above 800 yuan.
Giving 600 yuan for living expenses was considered a lot by Zhu Meiqun.
They could grit their teeth and give him 800 yuan, but both husband and wife worked in a small city and their monthly salary was not high. Giving him an extra 200 yuan might not seem like much at first, but it would add up over time. In order to settle down in the city, they saved the money they earned in previous years to buy a house. Now, they not only had to support Wen Kai's college education, but also maintain family expenses, and even had to save money again for Wen Kai's future marriage.
The income is limited and has to be split into several parts, so life is naturally tight.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law's living expenses are all covered by my second brother's family... Alas, my mother-in-law helped raise Wen Kai and contributed the most to her own family, but my second brother's family has to bear the cost of her retirement. Zhu Meiqun is not thick-skinned enough to accept it calmly, and life is indeed stressful.
Therefore, his son Wen Kai might have been able to be better, but he was dragged down by his ordinary parents.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The landline at home rang. It was Uncle Wen Ying.
Uncle Wen called to talk about the promotional video. Uncle Wen was very excited. Uncle Wen, who was usually a very dull person, couldn't help but agree with his third brother and talked for a long time.
Uncle Wen concluded, "Brother, you said that Xiaoying has changed so much. Is it related to the education in the provincial capital? My second sister-in-law transferred her job to the provincial capital, and my second brother drives back and forth between the two places every day. It may seem tiring to outsiders, but if this kind of hard work can be exchanged for a child as outstanding as Xiaoying, it will be worth it. Brother, I've thought about it. I want to send my child to study in the provincial capital!"
When Uncle Wen dropped this news, Uncle Wen was stunned.
"Send him to the provincial capital to study?"
"Yes, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Second brother and his family have all gone to the provincial capital. I don't think they plan to come back, so we should go too. Second brother is the smartest person in our family. We can't go wrong by following him."
Uncle Wen has a smooth mind. This may be something he has been thinking about for a few days, so he took the opportunity to express it today.
Uncle Wen was a little stuck, but then he came to his senses and rejected Uncle Wen's idea: "No, you can't go to the provincial capital!"
Uncle Wen was anxious: "Third brother, we can't do this. Second brother has a wife and children to support. It's hard for him to bring our whole family to the city and help us settle down one by one..."
It is not easy to settle down in a small city.
If I go to the provincial capital to seek refuge with Wen Dongrong, wouldn’t that tire Wen Dongrong to death?
Uncle Wen suspected that Uncle Wen was targeting his niece who had published a novel. He heard that writers made a lot of money, but for an uncle to bring his whole family along to rely on his niece would be condemned in the countryside. Uncle Wen would never do such a despicable thing, and not only would he not do it, he also warned Uncle Wen not to have such thoughts.
Uncle Wen was also anxious: "How could you say I want to eat Xiaoying? The provincial capital is big, and I have hands and feet and am willing to work hard. Why should I be afraid of not making money?"
The two brothers were arguing, and Grandma Wen couldn't get a word in, but Zhu Meiqun seemed to have cleared the fog in her mind.
Of course, there is no need to send Wen Kai to the provincial capital to study now.
But Zhu Meiqun's feelings about her son's future are exactly the same as Uncle Wen's.
She pushed her husband aside and stood in front of the phone. "If your eldest brother doesn't go, I'll go!"
Now it was Uncle Wen who was surprised.
"Sister-in-law..."
"You heard me right, I'm going to the provincial capital, I have to make money for Wen Kai!"
Zhu Meiqun had been impulsive at first, but after she said it, she became more determined: "Youngest, don't you think our Wen Kaiyou is outstanding? He passed the college entrance examination last year but refused to go. He repeated a year before being admitted to Beijing. He just likes the capital, likes big cities. After he finishes college, you ask him to go back to a small place. Isn't that delaying his future? I want to make money for Wen Kai, I want to help Wen Kai buy a house, and let him gain a foothold in the big city!"
If you can’t afford property in the capital, buy property in a provincial capital.
If you can't afford a big one, buy a small one.
There is no one-time payment, but I heard that you can make a down payment.
When parents help their children a little, the children will feel less pressure.
Their generation could move from the countryside to the city, and when it came to Wen Kai, he would definitely be able to work his way from a small city to a big city.
