He quickly changed his tune, "Then Yiming should focus on his studies! Your parents left their home and business to bring you to Jinan to study so that you can study hard and get into a good university in the future."
You kids can't just hang out and play all the time. Yiming, if you miss your little brother Yuyang and your aunt, finish your homework and complete your studies first.
Have your mom call me again, and I'll send you to my house for a day or two.
When it comes to the child's studies, Chen Hong dared not take on too much responsibility. Chen Hong had more contact with Guoqing's brother, but not so much with Guoqing's wife.
The two didn't know each other very well, and if Wang Yiming's grades dropped, she couldn't bear such a heavy burden.
Yu Yang wanted to raise her children with a free hand, and she didn't place much importance on their academic performance.
Influenced by her past life, Chen Hong knows that grades do not represent ability.
Only children who develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically will be competitive in society.
Judging solely by grades is fine in the ivory tower. But once you enter society, interpersonal relationships and conflicting interests become the norm.
It's not a good thing for a child to have a smooth life. Only those who have encountered setbacks and failures in their own lives and were able to solve and overcome them can gain a foothold in a complex society.
Yu Yang and Wang Yiming looked at each other, both somewhat disappointed. They had thought they could spend every weekend together from now on, but they didn't expect their mothers to disagree.
Chen Hong smiled and said to the two children, "Don't be so downcast. We're both in Jinan now, which is better than not living in the same city as before!"
Yu Yang, this is a crucial period for your studies, so you must study hard.
Yiming, study hard and try to get into the top middle school in our area.
If you pass the exam, you can come to our house for lunch, then you and your brother can see each other every day.
Wang Yiming's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Hong's words. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?"
"Auntie, my parents will give you living expenses later, and I'll stay at your house tonight, okay?"
Chen Hong stroked his head, "Why not? Yiming, study hard and try to get into a prestigious university in the future."
"Auntie, I also want to do my part for the college students in our village, to take good care of you two, and to make your grandparents happy too!"
When the topic of university came up, everyone became excited. Yu Yang and Wang Yiming both said they wanted to go to university in Beijing.
Wang Yiming wants to apply to Tsinghua or Peking University. Yu Yang, on the other hand, is shouting that he wants to apply to a military academy. The two children are arguing about which university is better, while the three adults quickly eat their meal.
After clearing the table, Chen Hong sat for a while before taking Yu Yang home.
Wang Yiming said reluctantly, "Auntie, I finished my homework at school."
"It's still early, why don't you play a little longer? Why are you leaving so soon after eating? You won't have anything to do when you get back."
Chen Hong thought to herself: She's never free of trouble!
"Yiming, let's come visit again next time. We live so close now, it's just a matter of walking over."
It's getting late, and your parents must be tired after a long day at work. Let them wash up and get some rest!
Guoqing and his family saw Chen Hong off for a long distance, and only went home after they saw Chen Hong's car turn a corner and disappear from sight.
Guoqing's sister-in-law opened the two large cardboard boxes that Chen Hong had brought and saw so much fruit, wine, and honey.
I couldn't help but click my tongue in amazement. "Guoqing, look at what Chen Hong sent, plus three big boxes of seafood."
She spent a lot of money today; this person is too honest.
Next time we visit her, we can't go empty-handed. But we really can't afford to buy all these things.
Wang Guoqing took a plate of bananas out of the box, broke one for his wife and son, and said as he ate the bananas:
"Why are you thinking so much? Our relationship with Chen Hong's family can't be based on these kinds of things."
Just treat Chen Hong like your own sister. Don't worry about anything else; when you go to her house, take whatever she has.
Chen Hong knows our family's financial situation. We should help her out more in the future; Chen Hong is a grateful person.
She's nice to us mainly because of my parents. My parents treat Chen Hong like their own daughter, so you should treat her like her sister-in-law.
We can't help much with money, but if Chen Hong needs our help with things like picking up and dropping off the kids, we'd better act quickly.
Yiming, study hard. If you can get into the top middle school near your aunt Chen Hong, you'll really benefit from your aunt's influence.
There are only two children left, you and Yu Yang. You brothers must get along well; you'll be a great family when you grow up.
You should be as close as brothers. Your Aunt Chen Hong has been very good to your grandparents, so you should treat her like your own aunt.
The couple started talking about buying a house again. Wang Guoqing said to his wife, "I've decided. I'll visit more real estate agencies after get off work these days, and we'll buy a house before the New Year."
Chen Hong said she was prepared to buy another property if the price was right. It seems certain that house prices will rise in the future.
Once we bought a house, we felt much more at ease. Renting always left us feeling unsettled.
Even Yu Hai has bought a house now, so our conditions are no worse than his.
When I went back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year, everyone in the village asked me questions, and I felt embarrassed.
After living in Jinan for so many years, buying a house is a way of giving myself some peace of mind.
Guoqing's wife echoed the sentiment, saying, "That's right, when I go back to my parents' home for the Spring Festival, everyone asks me if I've bought a house yet."
They talk as if buying a house is such a simple thing.
This is no small sum; a house costs hundreds of thousands. How long would it take for one person to save that much money?
Now that our parents can help us out a bit, we should buy a house sooner rather than later, otherwise it will become more and more expensive and we won't be able to afford it anymore.
"To be honest, our family's life has really benefited from Chen Hong's help. Even when applying for a loan, we felt more confident."
"Yes, now there are five people in our family, and four of them are earning money, which makes the financial pressure much easier."
…………
Chen Hong and Yu Yang returned to their home. As soon as they entered, Yu Yang went straight to the sofa.
"Mom, it's so much more comfortable at home! The chair at Yiming's house is too high, my feet can't even touch the ground when I sit there!"
Chen Hong said to him, "Your brother Yiming's family lives in a rented house. The house is small, and if you put a sofa there, you can't fit a dining table."
It'll be great when his family buys their own big house. Did you hear what your Uncle Guoqing said? Your brother Yiming is a very good student.
Mom doesn't expect you to be number one or number two in any exam. As long as you listen attentively in class and complete your homework on time, that's enough.
You need to learn to plan your time well and pay attention in class.
When doing homework, focus on doing homework. When learning the piano, focus on learning the piano and don't think about anything else.
Have fun when it's time to play, plan your activities, accumulate a little bit every day, and you'll make progress in the long run.
Don't push yourself too hard; maintain a balance between work and rest, and manage your studies and life well!
