Chapter 10: Pride - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
When Wen's mother returned, she saw her daughter sitting on the sofa. Dinner was already set on the table. It was quite sumptuous, with crabs and crayfish. There were seven dishes in total, and red wine was on the table.
"Yanyan, this is made by you. Why did you make so many dishes today?" Yu Qiu asked Wen Yan in surprise.
Wen Yan smiled and nodded. She stood up and took the bag from her mother's hand, and replied, "I have something good to tell you. Let's talk about it when Dad comes back."
"What's the matter? You're so mysterious and you have to wait for your father to come back. You are really your father's caring little cotton-padded jacket." Yu Qiu smiled and tapped his daughter's nose.
Wen Yan smiled and acted coquettishly with her mother. "Oh, Mom, I called Dad, he will be back soon."
As he was speaking, Wen Mingxiu opened the door and came in.
Yu Qiu turned around and said to Wen Mingxiu with a smile, "You're back. Your daughter said she had some good news to tell us, and she even prepared a large table of food. She had to wait for you to come back before she could tell us. You're really a caring little cotton-padded jacket in your family."
Wen Mingxiu looked at his wife and his precious daughter, and patted her head lovingly. He said, "What's the matter? Let's eat first. Look at the dishes my precious daughter cooked. They are so rich that my mouth is watering."
"Wen Yi, it's time to eat."
"Here I come"
When the family sat down at the dining table, Wen Yi took the lead and picked up a large crab. While breaking the crab legs, he smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, my sister has great news for you!"
After hearing what their son said, Wen's father and mother looked at their daughter expectantly.
Wen Yan looked at her parents and stopped keeping the secret. She cleared her throat and spoke loudly.
"Yeah, our homeroom teacher called me today and told me the results are out. First in the province, 704."
Wen Mingxiu and Yu Qiu were stunned. What? Did he hear correctly? First in the province! That meant—top scorer in the college entrance exam!
Wen Mingxiu recovered first and hugged his wife, "Wife, our daughter is the top scorer!"
Yu Qiu was hugged and recovered. Oh my god, she had raised a top scorer in the college entrance examination. The couple spun around in circles, jumping for joy. Then they looked at their daughter. Wen Mingxiu hugged his daughter and spun around in circles. If his daughter wasn't older, he would have wanted to lift her up.
"My daughter is so good, our Wen family's ancestors are so happy! Hahahaha" Wen Mingxiu was so happy that he didn't want to eat anymore. He wanted to call all his relatives and friends immediately, and he wanted to tell the world that his daughter was the top scorer.
Yu Qiu was so happy that she was speechless. Today was the happiest day of her life in all these years. What could make her prouder than seeing her children succeed?
Wen Yan quickly held down her parents and said, "Dad, Mom, don't get excited. Let's eat quickly and talk after dinner. Dad, come here, your favorite crayfish. Mom, I'll pour you a glass of red wine."
"Okay, okay, let's eat. We're happy today, which is really a good thing. Pour some wine, and give me a glass of red wine too!" Wen Mingxiu said happily.
The family had a happy meal. When Wen Yan finished cleaning up the dishes, his parents had already gone back to their room to make a phone call.
"Hey, Dad, Yanyan's college entrance exam results are out. Oh, yes, Yanyan got the top scorer. That's right, that's right, first place, first place in the entire province. Okay, I'll bring Yanyan back to the village in a few days." Wen Mingxiu happily shared the good news with his parents. He came from the countryside, and his parents worked hard to send him to college, so that he could no longer farm at home and improve his family's livelihood. Now that his daughter has made it big, he wants to make her parents happy.
"Hello, Mom, it's me. Well, let me tell you, Yanyan's college entrance examination results are out. Yes, they're out. She ranked first in the province. Yes, first in our province. She's the top scorer in the college entrance examination!" Yu Qiu also called his parents to announce the good news. His daughter was so promising, so he wanted to make his parents happy.
Wen Yan was washing dishes and smiled happily when she heard her parents' actions. In this life, she would definitely let her parents live a good life and always be happy.
In her previous life, her father was in debt, and her grandparents used their entire savings to pay him off. Her maternal grandparents, both long retired and heartbroken for their daughter, used almost all of their savings to pay off their debts. Her uncle and aunt, without a single complaint, covered Wen Yan's four years of university tuition and often subsidized her siblings. This left all three families struggling to make ends meet. Wen Yan decided in this life to help her family live a better life and repay them well.
Now that she can make them proud, Wen Yan feels that this is the happiest thing since her rebirth. It is also the meaning of her rebirth.
After washing the dishes, Wen Yan pulled her parents, who hadn't finished their phone calls yet, and quickly said, "Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you. Stop calling."
Wen Mingxiu and Yu Qiucai stopped talking on the phone and listened to what their daughter said in the evening.
"Mom and Dad, what do you think? Should we go back to the countryside to avoid the limelight? I heard that many reporters came to interview us, and our family couldn't live in peace." Wen Yan said a little worriedly.
"Yes, yes, that's right, wife. Yanyan is right. We need to hide for a while. Reporters nowadays are like mosquitoes. They won't let go once they catch blood." Wen Mingxiu also complained happily.
"That makes sense. Why don't you close the shop and I take half a month off, and we can go back to our hometown and stay there for half a month?" Yu Qiu agreed, thinking it made sense. Then he added, "Then I'll pack up now and leave tomorrow!" He stood up as he spoke, implying he was going to get started right away.
Wen Yan was at a loss for words and quickly held her mother down. "Mom, how can a reporter come that fast? Besides, I still have to go to school to get my admission letter, and the school will be doing an interview. Oh, you guys have to go too, you still have to participate in the interview organized by the school."
"Oh, yes, yes. I'm just too happy. As for the interview, husband, do you think I should go buy some clothes? The interview will be on TV." Yu Qiu was already happily thinking about what clothes to wear.
"Okay, wife, you look good in anything you wear, but shouldn't I also buy some new clothes and appear on TV? I never thought that I would be on TV one day, and it's because my daughter got the top score in the college entrance examination." Wen Mingxiu thought happily.
"Okay, okay, buy them all, buy them all, and buy them for my daughter too. My daughter is so pretty and she's the top scorer in the imperial examination. She'll look great in the interviews when she wears them beautifully."
Wen Yan watched the couple make phone calls around the world at the beginning and now discuss what to wear at the time, and she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Wen Mingxiu thought for a while before he thought again, "Yanyan, with this score, you can go to any school in the country. Wherever you want to go."
Wen Yan had already decided to attend S University in her province, a university ranked among the top in the nation for its Double First-Class programs. Its scenery was also considered the most beautiful in the country. It was also her biggest dream in her previous life.
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to study at S University. It's not far from home. It's a very good university. I want to study their flagship major, English. I want to be a simultaneous interpreter in the future." Wen Yan told her parents about her dream with certainty.
The couple looked at their confident daughter and realized that she had grown up and could plan her own life. They were both relieved and sad. Their daughter had grown up and could fly.
"Okay, it's good to have a goal. Dad supports you." Wen Mingxiu looked at his daughter encouragingly.
