Chapter 295 College Entrance Examination 4 What are you looking at? Do you want to participate...
One night cannot change other people's views of you, but your own choices may change your future life.
Yang Xiaoqian tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. Finally, at dawn, she made up her mind.
Her original name was not Xia Qiang. This time when she came back, she changed not only her name, but also her twisted and distorted past that she could not bear to look back on.
Her mother's lies came one after another, leaving her overwhelmed. She has been completely confused these days.
Fortunately, her work at the publishing house was very busy and she had no time to be angry.
But what about after a day's work? She couldn't help but think that the woman sitting in the office, buried in her work, really wasn't as bad as her mother said.
She even found an excuse to sneak to the radio station to take a look at Yao Miaomiao. As a stepmother, she was also busy with work every day and had no time to speak ill of others behind their backs.
And her own mother? She held a leisurely position at the neighborhood office, coming in late and leaving early every day, running around for her and their other two children.
She does have a job, but her life is all about trivial matters. Today, this child ate an extra piece of meat, and she suffered a loss. Tomorrow, that child asked for fifty cents more, and she suffered a loss again.
Her mother guards the money carefully and counts it carefully. She counts on her fingers every day to see who spends more, her two stepchildren or her own daughter. If one of them spends more than her, her mother will make sure to make up for it in other ways.
Now that I think about it, maybe in the eyes of her stepbrother and stepsister, her mother is the stepmother who makes people's blood pressure soar.
As a person with vested interests protected by her mother, she naturally could not feel the grievances and oppression of her stepbrother and stepsister.
Now, it's her turn to experience what it's like to live with a stepmother. To be honest, it's really not a pleasant feeling.
Even though Yao Miaomiao always spoke to her in a gentle voice, she knew that it was just an act and not sincere.
She had inquired about it. Her stepmother had a very bad temper. The reason she was being so submissive and coaxing her was only because Yao Zhizhi hit her first, and it was not easy for the two sisters to both be the bad guys.
But if you ask yourself, no one owes her anything.
It was her mother who wanted to divorce, and it was her mother who took her away. She couldn't see her father for a long time. It was not her stepmother's fault. At that time, her stepmother was still a stranger to her father.
It was her parents who couldn't go on, who can she blame?
Since her mother chose to leave, why should her father still be waiting here?
She is so old now and should have understood these principles long ago. Unfortunately, she was brought up in a hateful way and has only resentment and hatred in her heart.
If Li Jing hadn't dug out those old newspapers, if one person after another hadn't exposed her mother's lies, she would still be trapped in her mother's self-deceiving fantasy, full of resentment forever.
But resentment is really tiring. She feels uncomfortable, her father feels uncomfortable too, and her brothers and sisters don't like to talk to her. Even if they are still laughing and talking just a second before she comes back, as soon as she walks in, the four of them will collectively become speechless.
This seemed to have formed a tacit understanding, and she knew that this was all her own fault.
On the day she first arrived, Guanying brought her a stool and Guangmei poured her boiled water. The brother and sister were very polite and well-mannered until she uttered the word "burden" and until she unilaterally declared war.
It's ridiculous. She's alone, who can she go to war with?
So far, no one has stood on her side, and the moral high ground she mistakenly believed in was actually just a cage woven by her mother's lies, nothing more.
It's time to wake up and grow up. The water of resentment cannot nourish healthy flowers.
She wanted to bloom brightly towards the sun, and no longer wanted to curl up in a dark corner, getting moldy and full of maggots. Not only would others dislike her, but she herself would also be unable to bear it.
She wanted to take a long breath, sing a song loudly, the sun was shining in the sky, and the flowers could smile at her.
Then go to Hong Kong, see the outside world, and experience this international metropolis.
In order to consider her father's feelings, the Yao family will definitely treat her well.
The moment the sun rose, Yang Xiaoqian got out of bed and decided to start the change with breakfast.
She hadn't even washed her own socks in all these days, so it was time to do something.
*
Yao Weihua made today's breakfast. He wanted to relive his previous life, so he gave Shen Qingwan a holiday. He would be there for her in the next few days.
There were no extra people at the meal, just the three adults and two children.
Nothing seems to have changed, the only things that have changed are the children who are growing stronger and stronger and becoming different day by day.
When they were almost done eating, Yao Weihua mentioned sending Yang Xiaoqian to Hong Kong.
Yao Zhizhi was so surprised that she put down her chopsticks: "Really?"
"How could it be fake?" Yao Weihua was a little surprised. His younger sister's reaction seemed a bit too much.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and glanced at Qi Changxiao who was wiping his daughter's mouth: "Third brother, ask him what I said last night."
"What did he say?" Yao Weihua was very curious and turned to look at his busy brother-in-law.
Qi Changxiao was also surprised. These two siblings are definitely related. How could they think of the same thing?
He smiled and said, "Zhizhi told Yang Xiaoqian last night that as long as she is willing, she will let you take her to study in Hong Kong."
"Hahaha! I was expecting my little sister to react so strongly. I don't know who is the worm in whose stomach, hahaha." Yao Weihua was very happy.
This small moment of telepathy may seem insignificant, but it is enough to gather into a long river of longing, bit by bit, during the days of separation. He is the traveler walking in the long river. As long as he wants, he can bend down at any time to scoop up a handful of water and pick up a shining pearl.
He has already received this pearl today, and no one can take it away from him.
After dinner, he took his two children to the front to play with his second sister's four children. When he got there, he found Yao Miaomiao rolling up her sleeves with an embarrassed look on her face, not knowing what to do.
Yao Weihua leaned over to take a look and found that it was Yang Xiaoqian who was washing clothes for her younger brother and sister. Yao Miaomiao didn't allow her to do so, so she just sat in the yard with the basin of water. Judging from her posture, she seemed quite skilled at it.
At this moment, Yao Weihua came over, and Yang Xiaoqian actually took the initiative to call him uncle for the first time.
Yao Weihua smiled and nodded: "I didn't know you were here when I came back yesterday. I took you to the state-owned shopping mall at noon to buy two sets of clothes. You can pick whatever you want. You don't have to save money for me."
"Yes, Qianqian, your uncle is a big boss and very rich. You don't have to be polite to him." Yao Miaomiao agreed with a smile, put down her sleeves, and took Xiao Xingxing from Yao Weihua's arms.
She understood her younger brother well. Even though he held both children in his arms, the one he wanted to hold the most was Little Moon.
The star has grown a little bigger now, and Wei Hua has taken care of it for so many years. It's a rare opportunity for him to come back, so he must hug the little moon more.
Xingxing was not jealous. She quickly got down from her second aunt's arms and went to play with her brother Guanying.
He likes to play with older kids, and Jinghui is the same, so every time he looks for Guanying and Jinghui looks for him, which is quite funny.
It’s different with the girls. Xiaoyueliang can play with anyone. Every time she goes to visit her three brothers first, and then goes to visit her two sisters, like a little bully patrolling the mountain.
At this moment, she was held by her uncle, but her eyes were fixed on the hair ornaments in the hands of her two sisters. Yao Miaomiao quickly asked Guangmei for one for her.
Little Moon took the hair ornament and turned around to touch her uncle's head.
Unfortunately, her uncle's hair was too short to be tied up, so she yelled, "Aunt, please bring me two more hairpins. My uncle's hair can't be tied up."
Yao Miaomiao was at a loss for words and quickly went to get a bunch of hairpins. Soon, Yao Weihua's head turned into a hedgehog. One hairpin was sticking up, another was tilted, looking very funny.
Yang Xiaoqian turned her head and took a look, couldn't help laughing, then turned around and continued washing clothes.
Seeing that it was almost time to go to work, Yao Miaomiao didn't want to delay any longer, so she quickly pulled Yang Xiaoqian up and said, "Qianqian, go wash your hands quickly and go to work with your aunt. Just leave your clothes here, and grandma will wash them later."
"Oh, okay." Yang Xiaoqian hasn't called Yao Miaomiao yet. It's not appropriate to call her mom. She has her own mother. Even if she lied to her, she is still her mother. Besides, the dead are the greatest. She doesn't want to say anything bad about her mother.
But calling her "Auntie" seemed too awkward, so she opened her mouth but still couldn't say anything. She had to wipe her hands and hurried out.
Jumping into Yao Zhizhi's back seat, she stared at the lush green trees along the roadside. After a long moment, she asked, "Why don't you ask me if I've made up my mind?"
"You'll tell me when you've thought it through." Yao Zhizhi continued riding her bike. Qi Changxiao was tall and had long legs, so he just pedaled ahead of her. She was carrying a half-grown girl on her back, so it took her some effort to catch up.
Yang Xiaoqian sighed silently. In fact, it was quite comfortable to get along with the Yao sisters, provided she didn't act like a troublemaker.
Just like now, with such a big problem, Yao Zhizhi didn't urge her, but she couldn't hold it in any longer and opened her mouth to ask.
If it were her mother or step-grandmother, they would have urged her hundreds of times.
When passing a bumpy road, Yao Zhizhi reminded: "Hold on tight, it's a bit bumpy."
Yang Xiaoqian quickly grabbed the hem of Yao Zhizhi's clothes. At that moment, she must have tickled Yao Zhizhi, but Yao Zhizhi didn't say anything. She twisted her body a little and then held back. The car didn't shake much.
After they had passed this distance, Yang Xiaoqian quickly let go: "Sorry, I'll grab the back seat next time."
"It's okay." Yao Zhizhi was competing with Qi Changxiao. She was bored on the way to work, and she had nothing to say to Yang Xiaoqian, so she competed in cycling with Qi Changxiao.
This guy, relying on his long legs, deliberately raised his eyebrows, and whoosh, he jumped out for a long distance.
Yao Zhizhi was so angry that she gritted her teeth and almost kicked the pedals to the point of sparks flying, but she finally caught up.
Qi Changxiao smiled and stepped on the brakes, slowly slowing down, and soon fell behind. Yao Zhizhi also slowed down and waited for him to catch up.
She had planned to ride side by side for the last section, but just as she was relaxing, Qi Changxiao got itchy again and rushed straight to the door of the publishing house.
Even if Yao Zhizhi speeds up now, she won't be able to catch up, so forget it.
After parking the car, she was still angry. When she went upstairs, she twisted his arm, and the employees of the art department heard her anger before they saw her.
Qi Changxiao walked into the art department with a smile. As soon as he sat down, Xiao Wei came over and wanted to say a few more nice words to Qi Changxiao and ask him for help.
Qi Changxiao was speechless and pointed her in the right direction: "Go ask the gatekeeper, Mr. Xie. Maybe he's willing to help you. My father-in-law is really not capable. He's a man of his word. Please don't make things difficult for us anymore."
Xiao Wei had no choice but to go find Xie Dayou when he got off work.
Xie Dayou knew about their relationship with the Tan family and gave her an idea: "Go find your brother-in-law. After all, Old Tan is your mother-in-law's brother-in-law, and he owes your brother-in-law a lot. As long as your brother-in-law asks, he will definitely be able to make a call and get him a better job."
Xiao Wei went to find Yao Zhizhi because he didn't want to trouble his brother-in-law. After all, his brother-in-law and mother-in-law lived separately, and it was obvious that they would never have any contact with each other again.
Her husband is her mother-in-law's biological son, so she always feels a little embarrassed when she goes to visit her brother-in-law.
Xie Dayou couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard her complain. "You're so stupid! Why don't you talk to his wife? His wife looks stupid. If you give her some benefits, she'll be grateful. As long as he protects his wife, he'll definitely help you get things done. Anyway, you're not allowed to bother my Xiao Yao again. Do you understand?"
Xiao Wei nodded, took half a day off in the afternoon, and went to plead with Yao Ningning.
When they got there, Xiao Wei was surprised to find Yao Ningning reading a high school textbook. "Aren't you just in junior high school? Why are you looking at this? Are you planning on taking the college entrance exam? But the college entrance exam hasn't been held for so many years, so it's pointless to read it."
Yao Ningning didn't answer. She closed the book and looked at her calmly, waiting for her to start talking about business.
