Some people say that being open-minded comes from having strength.
This is indeed the case for Chen Ru.
When I bought a house last year, I planned to use the house to pay off the mortgage. However, plans don’t always work as fast as changes. Who knew that the Wen family would suddenly come to Chengdu to develop again?
Chen Ru did not feel bad about making this decision. Her relatives were self-respecting and it was no big deal for them to help. Moreover, Chen Ru's current job income far exceeded her expectations. She could pay off the mortgage without collecting rent, so naturally she would not care about a small amount of money.
Similarly, when her daughter became outstanding enough, the grudges between Chen Ru and her mother-in-law in their early years suddenly became unimportant.
It would be best if the old lady changed her mind, but if she remains stubborn, Chen Ru won't lose anything.
——Everyone praises Wen Ying for her promising future, but her grandmother doesn’t like Wen Ying. That’s because her grandmother has no taste!
Chen Ru was open-minded. Wen Dongrong was overjoyed when he heard his wife's words, "Really?!"
"Fake!"
Chen Ru rolled her eyes, wrapped herself in the quilt and fell asleep with her back to Wen Dongrong.
Wen Dongrong laughed to himself and said with great certainty, "You are a man of few words. What you say counts. I heard it all. It's too late for you to regret it."
In the past, even without Chen Ru's suggestion, Wen Dongrong would have already taken the initiative to give a house in Chengdu to the Wen family. In the past year, his family status has plummeted, and he dared not act rashly.
Chen Ru had allowed Wen to subsidize Wen's relatives for more than ten years, and Wen thought it was natural.
Now he has firmly adhered to his principles and is occasionally "kind", which makes Wen cherish him very much.
——Oh, man!
The couple reached a consensus, and the next day Wen Dongrong returned to normal and no longer complained about the taste of breakfast.
Wen Ying thought that Lao Wen would ask her for alms, but Lao Wen didn't say a word, which made her very confused.
If Lao Wen wants to speak, Wen Ying can use her mother as a sword of justice. Competing with Lao Wen in wits and courage is also one of the joys of Wen Ying's life. If Lao Wen doesn't speak, Wen Ying feels that it is boring.
After waiting for a few more days, Wen Ying observed carefully every day after school, but she never saw her aunt Zhu Meiqun selling roasted sweet potatoes again. It seemed that she deliberately avoided the vicinity of the provincial key school.
Of course, Wen Dongrong never waited for help from his sister-in-law and brother.
Did Zhu Meiqun's roasted sweet potato business fail and she returned to her hometown?!
Not really.
Zhu Meiqun's annual leave had passed, but she did not return to the factory to work. Instead, she asked for another month's personal leave from the factory.
A month-long personal leave means that Zhu Meiqun has not received any salary for a whole month. This is a case of either succeed or die!
Wen Dongrong was hoping to be needed, but Zhu Meiqun and Wen Changlin did nothing. However, soon Old Wen lost interest in caring about his relatives. The results of the exam the couple took last month were announced. Chen Ru passed successfully, but Wen Dongrong failed.
Wen Dongrong was stunned.
How could he fail such a simple question?
——He didn’t pass the exam, how did Chen Ru pass it!
…
When it comes to studying, whether you have worked hard or not can be hidden from others, but not from yourself.
Using the same English textbook, Wen Dongrong's book is still about 80% new, while Chen Ru's set has been used so much that the pages are curled and frayed. When you open Chen Ru's book, you will see that the blank spaces on the pages are covered with dense handwriting.
Wen Dongrong finally finished completely.
There is no need for Chen Ru to laugh at him anymore. Since the results were announced, this guy has become very low-key.
What's the saying, when God closes a door for you, he will seal all the windows! What can save Lao Wen from the feeling of loss is a greater loss...
Wen Ying was not surprised at the result. She had a premonition as early as the day she left the examination room.
Now that my premonition has come true, I can only say that God never disappoints those who work hard!
The confidence of a top student is called being well-prepared, while the confidence of a poor student is called feeling good about himself. Lao Wen obviously belongs to the latter.
Chen Ru passed the exam successfully. When Chen Li heard about it, she was very happy for her sister and specially invited her sister and her family to dinner to celebrate for Chen Ru.
This weekend, Xie Qian went to Shanghai, and the academic tutoring class was temporarily suspended, so Wen Ying could also have this meal.
Chen Ru said no, but when Chen Li invited her to dinner, she still wore her newly bought cashmere coat to keep the appointment.
After buying a house and raising money for renovation, Chen Ru hasn't bought such expensive clothes for a long time. This new coat is Chen Ru's reward for passing the exam.
Compared to Chen Ru's high spirits, Wen Dongrong was just forcing himself to be spirited.
At the dinner table, Chen Li asked her sister how she felt. Chen Ru glanced at Wen Ying and had a lot to say, but she swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of her tongue.
After Chen Li's repeated questioning, Chen Ru finally revealed her true feelings:
"I was really unsure when I signed up, but after taking the exam I realized it was just so-so. But now I'm just eligible to enroll, so I can't say how much useful knowledge I can learn."
Since we are working, we study while working.
Chen Ru is not the only one who does this. Most people who are already working do this. Especially when they reach Chen Ru's age, it is unrealistic to completely quit their job to study.
However, the value of an on-the-job diploma is much higher than that of a correspondence diploma, and one can indeed learn something from it, so Chen Ru is still looking forward to it.
Wen Ying recalled the time last year when she followed her parents and discovered that they had secretly attended cram school without her knowledge.
Wen Ying could empathize with how difficult it was to pick up the knowledge that had been lost for many years and even to make further progress than before.
Wen Ying has private tutoring from a top university student like Xie Qian, but Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong don't have such good treatment. When people reach middle age, their energy and memory are not as good as those of teenagers. What's more, Chen Ru has to adapt to the new environment and study at the same time after being transferred to a new job, which makes the difficulty much higher!
Chen Ru was able to pass the exam in one go, and she really put in a lot of effort.
Sitting next to Wen Ying was Old Wen, who had failed the exam. He was eating fried peanuts from a plate with his head down. Deng Shangwei wanted to toast him several times, but Wen Dongrong was not in the mood.
Wen Ying, showing a rare softness of heart, helped Old Wen pick up some food and whispered, "...You can still take the exam next year."
"What do you know, little girl? There's a huge difference between this year and next year!"
Wen Dongrong's voice came out from between his teeth.
This is not a simple test at all, it is clearly a battle for the position of head of the family.
Chen Ru passed the exam, but he didn't. How could he regain his power as a husband?
Besides, it was his fault for not keeping his mouth shut and telling it out so early. Now he failed the exam, and his colleagues at work don’t know how they will laugh at him!
Fortunately, he is studying at the Chengdu Party School these days and does not have to go back to work, so he does not have to face the discussions of his colleagues for the time being.
Old Li is just abominable. Although we can't meet at the company, he still calls him several times a day to comfort him and persuade him not to be depressed, saying something like "failure is the mother of success" - damn Old Li, don't fall into his hands again!
Wen Dongrong became very angry whenever he thought of Lao Li, and this emotion even overwhelmed the disappointment of failing the exam.
Well, it seems I worried for nothing.
Old news is still old news and never needs comfort.
Old news is suitable to be attacked!
Wen Ying withdrew her sympathy and calmly stabbed him: "Then you should keep working hard. If you fail the exam this year, you can say it's just a temporary setback, but if you fail again next year... You're so smart, you shouldn't fall into the same pit twice, right?"
