Chapter 151 Dream
With Lin Huan's arrival, Wang Shan became much more active. Apart from doing homework and drawing, she took her cousin out for a walk every day, and sometimes brought her little friend Yang Liuliu along.
When Wang Shan was busy doing homework or drawing, Lin Huan would run to the convenience store to help her aunt organize the shelves.
Occasionally, Yang's mother would bring Liuliu over to play, and she would help take care of the child.
Before, Lin Ting was afraid that Lin Huan would be bored, so when Wang Shan was doing homework or drawing, he gave her some of her extracurricular books to read.
Lin Huan was quite enthusiastic in reading those comic books, but when it came to classics and composition books, it took him a long time to turn a page, and he looked listless.
Lin Ting could see that Lin Huan's mind was not on studying at all.
But when I asked about her grades from primary school to junior high school, I learned that she scored more than 80 points in both Chinese and mathematics, and I didn't say anything.
He didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that Lin Huan just wanted to relax during the holiday without homework, and that everything would be fine once he returned to school.
Who knew that things had far exceeded his understanding.
That night, Lin Huan was already lying in bed, while Wang Shan was still sitting at the desk looking through the art collection she had borrowed from the library.
"Shanshan, won't you be tired from practicing painting like this tomorrow?" Lin Huan suddenly spoke while looking at his cousin's back.
"I'm not tired!" Wang Shan didn't look back, her eyes still on the pages of the book.
"But you have to paint for several hours every day. Don't your hands get sore?"
Lin Huan felt that his cousin was so pitiful. She had to do homework, draw, and practice English with a tape recorder every day. She was always busy.
It’s not like when I was in third grade, as long as I finished my homework, I could throw my schoolbag aside and run around the world.
Wang Shan felt strange and turned to look at her cousin, "How can you feel tired when doing something you love?"
Lin Huan was increasingly confused by his cousin's words, "Do you want to be a painter?"
Wang Shan nodded affirmatively, "Yes! Being a painter is my dream, and I am working hard to realize it!"
"Oh." Lin Huan looked at his cousin who was cheering him up with her fists and encouraged him, "I think if you work so hard, you will definitely realize your dream!"
Now that the conversation had started, Wang Shan simply closed the book and lay down next to Lin Huan.
"Sister Huanhuan, what is your dream?"
"Work!" Lin Huan blurted out.
"work to earn a living?"
Seeing his cousin's puzzled face, Lin Huan nodded vigorously, "Yes, my dream is to come to Pengcheng to work!"
Wang Shan was a little confused.
Working, is this a dream?
Moreover, her parents told her from a very young age that working was very hard. Most of the work done by migrant workers is physical labor, which is not only hard but also pays little.
Because they have a low level of education and can only earn money through hard work, I hope that I must study hard and get into college so that I don’t have to work as hard as they do.
But looking at her cousin's excited face, she didn't know where to start.
Lin Huan didn't notice the expression on his cousin's face, and continued speaking his mind: "Everyone says that my aunt and younger aunt live a good life by working."
"Before, when Dad was at home, he always quarreled with Mom about money."
At this point, Lin Huan's voice was a little low, but soon became high again, "But since my father came to work in Pengcheng, he has sent money home every month. When he comes home for the New Year, they no longer quarrel. My father also buys new clothes and food for me and my brother."
"So," Lin Huan said with a determined look on his face, "after I graduate from junior high school, I will also come to Pengcheng to work!"
"But my mother said that working is very hard!" Wang Shan said in a low voice.
"I'm not afraid of hard work!" Lin Huan said nonchalantly, "What's not hard? I think painting is hard work for you too!"
Wang Shan was so stunned that she didn't know how to answer, so she could only change the question: "Then you won't go to high school or college?"
"There's no way I'll pass the exam!" Lin Huan never had any hope of passing the exam.
"There are so many children in our village studying, but only two of them can get into high school. Even my brother Lin Bo, who has the best grades, can't guarantee that he will be able to get into high school next year, let alone us."
"Then you can try your best. What if you pass the exam?" Wang Shan still felt that her cousin's idea was problematic.
"Just go to school if you pass the exam!" Lin Huan didn't have any hope at all, so he said it casually.
"Can……"
Wang Shan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lin Huan, "Okay, okay! Let's not talk about this anymore. Go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow!"
Lin Huan knew what her cousin wanted to say. Her idea was not wrong, but she was different from her. She wanted to make money as soon as possible.
She will always remember the embarrassment of having someone come to her house to ask for money because her father owed money from playing cards during the Chinese New Year, the mess after a day of quarreling, and the embarrassment of not being able to pay tuition.
She thought that as long as she earned enough money, her family would be as peaceful as it was now, or even better.
Her cousin's eyes were still lingering on her face. Lin Huan closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The next day, on the way back from learning painting at Grandpa Guo's house, Wang Shan couldn't help but tell her grandfather what her cousin said last night.
After listening to this, Lin Ting stood there in a daze and didn't speak for a long time.
"Grandpa?" Wang Shan gently shook Lin Ting's hand, "Why don't you leave?"
Lin Ting then looked over blankly. He looked at his granddaughter carrying the painting supplies, and thought of her dream of working, and he couldn't help feeling sad.
The family is sorry for this child!
So much so that such a young child is thinking about working to earn money.
Lin Ting blamed Lin Hui and her husband for not fulfilling their responsibilities, and also blamed himself for not caring enough about his grandchildren, which led Huanhuan to have such thoughts.
But things have come to this, there is no point in saying more, what we need to do now is to change Huanhuan's mind.
He was very confused and had no idea what to do. He could only take his granddaughter to find his eldest daughter.
Lin Qiu had some differences in his attitude towards the grandfather and grandson.
Seeing that Lin Ting looked unhappy, he thought that his daughter had made him angry.
Just as I was about to ask my daughter what happened, Lin Ting spoke.
"Qiuqiu, Huanhuan and Shanshan talked about dreams. Do you know what Huanhuan's dream is?"
Lin Qiu was very curious, "What is it?"
"Work!" Lin Ting covered his face and shook his head, "Her dream is to come to Pengcheng to work!"
"What!"
Lin Qiu's jaw almost dropped at this answer, "Why would she think that?"
"I don't know either!" Lin Ting was very depressed.
"Dad, don't worry. Huanhuan is still young, and it's normal for her to have some wrong ideas sometimes. We just need to correct her." Lin Qiu couldn't bear to see his father's distraught look and hurried to comfort him.
"Can it be corrected?" Lin Ting's eyes were full of hope.
Lin Qiu promised solemnly: "Trust me, it will definitely work!"
