Chapter 304: Extra 20 (Little Moon's Chronicles)
Xiao Yueliang’s self-media business is booming, and several companies have contacted her, saying they want to sign her.
But Xiaoyue never agreed.
She started making videos because she felt that life in the country was rather monotonous and wanted to find something to do while also recording the pastoral life of the four elderly people in her family.
But she didn't expect these videos to be so popular. She was indeed touched by the support and encouragement from fans, but she was more worried.
Xiao Yueliang feels that her experience is insufficient and the content of her videos is monotonous. She worries that she won’t be able to continue making videos that everyone likes and that she will be unworthy of her fans’ love.
And the most important point is that she is not sure about her future development direction.
For now, self-media is just a hobby and is not part of her life plan.
So Xiaoyueliang still treats shooting short videos as a hobby as before. Although these videos bring her a lot of profit, she is not tempted by them.
Instead, she began to think about the direction of her life.
She reads the books recommended by her father, discusses the contents with him via video, and shares her thoughts after reading.
She also tried to understand some things related to her mother's profession. She knew too little about art and her understanding of aesthetics was superficial.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Mom and Dad rushed back to their hometown to reunite, Little Moon suddenly asked at the dinner table.
"Am I particularly unsuccessful? With the support of two generations of my family, I still have no ambition to make progress."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shen put down the crab in his hand, wiped his hands with a tissue, and then said slowly: "Mom and Dad have never thought about it this way. In my opinion, my daughter is smart and kind, loves to study, can think, and is very filial. This is already much better than most of her peers."
"As for whether one is successful or not, there is actually no unified standard. Life is short, and we don't have to excessively pursue the so-called standard of success. Instead, we should learn to enjoy every little bit of life, cultivate our own interests and hobbies, and live with our heart. Only in this way can we live out our own brilliance and lead a meaningful life."
Wang Shan followed up by saying, "It's too early to talk about these things now. Only at the last moment of a person's life can one be evaluated. You are still young and have a long way to go in the future. It's never too late to do anything you want to do. Although our family is not rich, as long as what you want to do is meaningful, we will support you."
Father Yan also said: "Yes, for old guys like us, seeing you safe, healthy and happy is enough to satisfy us. As for the other things, they are just icing on the cake."
After hearing what her parents said, Xiaoyue was so moved that her eyes turned red. She secretly made up her mind that she must work hard to find her own direction in life and live up to her family's expectations.
At the end of November, Xiaoyue made a decision.
She just wanted to stay at home before, but now she wants to go out and see the world.
Her decision was supported by her whole family.
Yan's father and mother went back to Pengcheng with her to prepare for the language test, while Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren stayed in their hometown temporarily to harvest the crops in the fields before returning to Pengcheng.
Wang Shan asked Han Yiyi about the relevant matters regarding applying to the school, and Yan Shen had already asked someone to write a letter of recommendation.
When spring came and flowers bloomed, Xiao Yueliang received good news. Not only was she admitted to a graduate school abroad, but she also received a full scholarship. The school was a prestigious Ivy League school that everyone had heard of.
Xiao Yueliang was very happy to tell her parents the news, and she also called her grandparents who had returned to their hometown some time ago to share the news.
"Grandma, when will you and Grandpa come back? I miss you so much. When I go abroad, you won't be able to see me often, and a round trip is not cheap."
When Lin Qiu heard the good news, he smiled like a flower and patted his chest to promise: "Pack up tonight and go to the high-speed rail station tomorrow. If you miss home in the future, don't worry about the plane ticket, grandma will reimburse you."
The air ticket was not cheap, but it was just a small thing for Lin Qiu.
She is not keen on buying a house or making other investments now. The rent for the house and the storefront alone exceeds six figures every month.
Her life was not extravagant. Apart from occasionally buying a piece of jewelry for her daughter or granddaughter, the rest was spent on daily expenses. The rest was saved in a bank account, which would be left to her daughter and granddaughter in the future.
Now that her granddaughter has been admitted to such a good school, it’s just a matter of plane tickets, she has paid for it!
The grandparents talked for a long time before hanging up the phone.
Xiao Yueliang remembered that she had not yet told her grandparents the good news, so she quickly called Yan's father.
Lin Qiu couldn't wait to share the good news that Xiaoyueliang had been admitted to a prestigious foreign university as a graduate student in the family group, and even added a sentence to show off: A full scholarship!
Within a minute of the message being sent, people in the group started sending congratulations and emoticons.
Lin Ping even sent a video to say, "Little Moon is really doing well!"
Lin Qiu's eyebrows lit up, "That's right, she only went back to prepare last November, and we didn't have much hope, but she not only passed the exam, but also got a full scholarship."
"Xiaoyueliang is being low-key! The more powerful one is, the more low-key one should be. Isn't there an old saying that a full pot does not make a sound, but a half-full pot makes a jingle?"
The topic the two sisters discussed in the video was Little Moon. Lin Qiu talked about going back to Pengcheng tomorrow. "Little Moon said she missed me and her grandfather. Plus, she will be going abroad to study soon, so it won't be so convenient for us to see each other in the future. I plan to take the high-speed train there tomorrow. I'll leave my flower beds and vegetable gardens to you."
"We are sisters, why are you saying these polite words!" Lin Ping agreed with a smile, "When Xiaoyueliang's notice arrives, I will ask my eldest brother and the others to go to Pengcheng together. We must have a good reunion as a family and celebrate for Xiaoyueliang."
"That's a good idea!" Lin Qiu agreed. "I'll go to Pengcheng first to see if there are any new shops that have opened recently. Now that the whole family has finally gathered together, we must have a good time and eat well."
After hanging up the video, Lin Huan called, "Aunt, Xiaoyueliang is such an amazing kid!"
Lin Qiu replied modestly: "It's okay, it's okay. Cheng Cheng is also a good kid. I heard that he got a promotion and a raise before the New Year."
"How can it compare to Little Moon! This is a famous school. When I graduate and come back, I think every unit will be vying for me!"
"Who knows? I just want her to be safe out there."
“Who says it’s not?”
…
Lin Qiuguang took calls and video calls all afternoon. He drank all the water in the teapot before he took his phone to charge with a reluctant heart.
The same thing happened to Yan's parents. They talked on the phone with relatives and friends for the entire afternoon and even forgot to make dinner.
Little Moon listened to her grandparents whose voices were hoarse, and smiled and shook her head.
Come on, let’s go out to eat!
