Chapter 116 Study hard and make progress every day
Weiwei was lying on the bed, her small body wrapped in a soft quilt, like a newborn kitten, carefully feeling the world.
What happened in the past few days was just like a TV drama, and she was a little overwhelmed.
The faces of those “good friends” of the past make me feel sick when I think about them now.
She was so foolish as to think of them as sisters. This was simply a large-scale scene of recognizing a thief as the father!
Outside the window, moonlight shines on the desk, illuminating the open diary.
Weiwei picked up the pen, but didn't know where to start.
"Mom, I..." These two words were like a thorn stuck in the throat, and I couldn't say them out.
She took a deep breath and decided to try a different approach.
"Today, the sun is shining brightly with no clouds in the sky (fake). I have decided to start a new life, study hard, and make progress every day! Um... I also need to be nicer to my mother. Even better! I was such a fool before!"
After writing this, Weiwei felt much more relaxed.
She closed the diary and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Mom, just wait and see, I will definitely impress you!"
In the next few days, Xu Yao discovered that her daughter seemed like a different person.
In the past, he would hold his phone and scroll through it non-stop as soon as he got home. Now, he has taken the initiative to reduce the time he spends on his phone and started to do his homework seriously.
"The sun is rising from the west?" Xu Yao muttered secretly, but she was very happy in her heart.
Xue Han also noticed the changes in Weiwei.
He felt warm in his heart when he saw Weiwei studying hard.
This child finally came back.
"Yaoyao, how about we make Weiwei a delicious meal on the weekend as a reward?" Xue Han suggested.
"Okay, let's make her favorite braised pork!" Xu Yao agreed immediately.
On the weekend, Xu Yao worked all morning and prepared a sumptuous meal.
Braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried seasonal vegetables... the aroma was so fragrant that Weiwei drooled.
A family of three sat around the dining table, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Weiwei took the initiative to share some small things that happened at school, such as today the math teacher told another bad joke and she was the only one in the class who laughed; for example, her deskmate bought a super cute pencil case and she wanted one too...
Although they were just daily trivialities, for Xu Yao and Xue Han, this was a sign that Weiwei had opened her heart again.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Xu Yao gently picked up a piece of braised pork for Weiwei.
"Thank you, Mom." Weiwei smiled sweetly, feeling warm in her heart.
Xue Han looked at the harmonious scene in front of him and felt filled with happiness.
He raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come on, let's have a drink as a family to celebrate Weiwei's progress!"
On Monday, Xu Yao and Xue Han sent Weiwei to school.
When they arrived at the school gate, they met Weiwei’s homeroom teacher, Teacher Wang.
"Hello, Xu Yao's mom, Xue Han's dad!" Teacher Wang greeted them warmly.
"Hello, Teacher Wang!" Xu Yao and Xue Han also responded politely.
"It's like this. I want to tell you about Weiwei's recent performance in school." Teacher Wang said with a smile, "Weiwei has made great progress recently. Not only does she listen carefully in class, but she also actively answers questions. Moreover, she also takes the initiative to help classmates solve difficult problems. Her learning attitude is very positive."
After hearing this, Xu Yao and Xue Han felt very relieved.
"Really? That's great!" Xu Yao said excitedly, "During this period, she has become much more sensible at home and even took the initiative to help me with housework!"
"Yes, this kid finally got it." Xue Han also said with a smile.
"This is all because of your good education." Teacher Wang said politely, "By the way, Weiwei also told me that she wants to participate in the school's speech contest. Do you support her?"
"Of course we support her!" Xu Yao said without hesitation, "As long as she wants to do it, we will support her."
"That's good." Teacher Wang nodded with satisfaction, "I believe Weiwei will definitely get good grades."
After saying goodbye to Teacher Wang, Xu Yao and Xue Han were in a very good mood.
"Yaoyao, it seems that our efforts have not been in vain. Weiwei has really gotten better." Xue Han said with emotion.
"Yes, I hope she can keep it up." Xu Yao said with a smile, "However, we can't let our guard down. We still have to keep an eye on her to prevent that scumbag from causing trouble again."
"Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt our daughter." Xue Han said firmly.
The two held hands and walked towards the shop.
The sun shone on them, warm and bright.
When Xu Yao returned to the shop, the familiar aroma of fried dough sticks mixed with the sweet smell of soy milk hit her face, making her feel very at ease.
This smell is the motivation for her hard work!
As soon as I put down my bag, Xiaofang rushed towards me like a little cannonball, the excitement on her face almost overflowing.
"Sister Yaoyao, it's a hit! It's really a hit!" Xiaofang waved the little notebook in her hand excitedly, as if she had won a five-million-dollar lottery ticket. "I slightly improved the idea you mentioned last time. Look! Today's customer flow is nearly double that of yesterday! A lot of young people came to check in!"
Xu Yao took the small notebook, which was densely filled with today's sales data.
Wow, that’s really good!
It seems that her transformation plan of this "1970s Internet celebrity store" has begun to show results.
Previously, this small shop mainly sold traditional breakfast items such as fried dough sticks, soy milk and buns. Although the business was stable, it was too dull.
In order to attract more customers, especially young people, Xu Yao had an idea and decided to add some trendy elements on the basis of tradition.
She first launched the "Nostalgia Set Meal", which used retro enamel cups to serve soy milk and newspapers to wrap fried dough sticks, instantly bringing back many people's childhood memories.
Then they developed a "couple meal", with two cups of soy milk formed into a heart shape and served with two crossed fried dough sticks, symbolizing "eternal love", which attracted young couples to come and check in and take photos.
"Xiaofang, well done! It seems your 'improvement' is very effective!" Xu Yao couldn't help but praise her, and stretched out her hand to pinch Xiaofang's chubby face. "I'll treat you to a delicious meal tonight, order whatever you want!"
When Xiaofang heard this, her eyes lit up, she rubbed her hands together and smiled, "Then I want to eat... hot pot!"
"Okay, no problem!" Xu Yao agreed readily.
Looking at the bustling crowd in the store and listening to the symphony of pots and pans, Xu Yao felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.
This is the life she wants, full of vitality and hope.
These days, good things have happened one after another. My daughter Weiwei seems to have become a different person. She is sensible, obedient and studies hard.
Xu Yao felt that these hard days were finally over, and the days to come would definitely get better and better!
She hummed a little tune and cleared the table skillfully, feeling as happy as a sparrow flying onto a branch.
Suddenly, a shrill phone ring broke the bustle in the store.
Xu Yao picked up the phone, but before she could even open her mouth, she heard the weird voice of her third sister coming from the receiver:
"Oh, I heard that your daughter has become well behaved now? And she's also making progress in her studies? Wow, a mother is honored by her daughter! But don't be too happy too soon, some things are not over yet!"
The third sister's voice was like an icy poisonous needle, piercing Xu Yao's heart.
Her hand holding the phone tightened involuntarily, and a bad premonition came over her.
What is this third sister doing again?
