Chapter 121 Heart to Heart - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
"I can feel it just by hearing you say that, but I'm from the south and live by the sea. I've never seen snow. I can already imagine myself rolling in the snow." Dong Yuan sat up and said to Wen Yan.
Chen Yuyan let Anyang go and turned to her, saying, "Don't get your hopes up too high. It's cold here in the winter, so cold that you'll want to hold onto the heater, but it's not guaranteed to snow. Even if it does snow, it may not be enough to make snowballs for a snowball fight."
Then he turned to Wen Yan and said, "Go ahead and buy it. I'm too lazy to walk in the winter. Our school is too big. It takes more than ten minutes to walk from the dormitory to the teaching building. I'll be freezing all the way. If I buy a scooter, I'll only be freezing for a few minutes. Our school has a lot of people who buy electric cars. There's even a place to charge electric cars under the dormitory building. It's very convenient."
"That's fine. Let's go and check it out tomorrow. The four of us can just buy two bikes. Each of us can carry one person, and we can take turns riding. In winter, you'll find that I'll be wrapped up like a bear. I'm really not the type of person who prefers style over warmth." Wen Yan said to the three of them.
Anyang wanted to kick Chen Yuyan out, she was such a clingy person. "I'm fine. I used to prioritize style over warmth, and I wasn't that afraid of the cold. I didn't bring any winter clothes, and my mom still had to send me underwear, and I still had to buy new clothes."
"Then I want to go home again tomorrow. I'll ask my mother to pack my clothes for me in advance, and then I'll go back to get them, okay?" Then he blinked his big eyes and looked at Wen Yan bling bling.
"Then let's get up early tomorrow. You've been lying in bed long enough today. Get up at 8 o'clock tomorrow, pack up, go out for breakfast, go shopping, and then take you home to get your clothes in the afternoon."
Chen Yuyan is the darling of everyone in the dormitory. This gentle girl makes everyone pamper her.
Wen Yan called her mother before going to bed.
"What's wrong with Yanyan? She hasn't slept yet." Yu Qiu didn't expect Wen Yan to call him at this time.
"Mom, I just want to tell you that Xiaoyi secretly called me and said that he was under a lot of pressure. He is now in the third grade of junior high school and has grown up and has a strong sense of self-esteem. Because of me, he has received more attention from teachers and classmates. So, Mom, if possible, you can communicate with Xiaoyi's class teacher.
It's one thing to value him, but don't put too much pressure on him. He understands everything. He's still a little kid. Don't make soup for him every day. He's already under a lot of pressure at school. When he comes home, just be like normal. It's only a short time now. I wasn't this nervous even in my senior year of high school."
Wen Yan spoke to his mother bit by bit. There are some things that a boy cannot say to his mother, and can only say them to his sister, who he thinks is on the same side as him.
Yu Qiu didn't expect that her son would start complaining to his sister. After hearing what her daughter said, she realized that she couldn't ask her son to do the same thing as her daughter did because of her achievements. This was unfair to Wen Yi. Sure enough, the admiration from neighbors and friends during this period made her forget everything else.
"I know. It's mom's fault. After I send Xiaoyi to school tomorrow, I will talk to his class teacher. It's because of my experiences during this period that I was praised too much. Boys have their own thoughts when they grow up, and he is too embarrassed to tell his family." Yu Qiu is a very easy-going mother. She never demands anything of her children because of her own failures.
Wen Yan also understands her mother's character. She is devoted to her children and her husband, and is gentle and tolerant.
"It's okay, Mom. I know you haven't adapted yet. We'll make progress together. He doesn't blame you. You don't have to take him too seriously. Just have afternoon tea and go shopping."
After hanging up the phone, Anyang asked Wen Yan, "You have a younger brother, who is in the third grade this year?"
"Yes, the little boy has a strong sense of self-esteem, but he is embarrassed to tell his family that I, his sister, bring too much pressure to him, so he came to me to beg for alms today." Wen Yan said with a smile. Only children in the family cannot feel the joy of having brothers and sisters.
Anyang was a little envious. She was the only one in her family and couldn't experience the happiness of having brothers and sisters. "That's great! I always imagined having a brother or sister."
"Is your brother well behaved? We have many children in our family. We are a minority and there is no family planning. Every family in our area has many children, so we have many children. I have two older sisters, a younger sister and two younger brothers. When I was young, I didn't know any better and would fight with my younger siblings. The adults in the family didn't care. My parents let their children do whatever they wanted.
My home is near the beach, and all the children in the village grew up by the sea. That's why I looked so dark when I first arrived. I'm sure I'll be several shades darker when I go back for winter break this year. I'll also help with farm work and help relieve my parents' stress. But our family is very happy. Although we're poor, our hearts are connected.
One of my older sisters is a junior at a normal university near my home, and another sister just graduated and is now living in Shanghai. Our family wasn't well off, but our parents didn't mistreat any of their children, allowing us all to complete our studies step by step."
The three of them listened carefully to Dong Yuan's story, as if a happy and blessed fishing village appeared before their eyes. The people there might live in poverty, but they were very satisfied in their hearts and full of hope for life. They hoped that their children could grow up to be successful.
"That's great. You all have brothers and sisters at home. Yuyan also has an older brother who has been raised by him since she was a child. Wenyan also has a well-behaved younger brother." Anyang said to the three of them enviously.
"I have a younger brother, who is from my uncle's family. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become our schoolmate next year. I am the only girl in our family, so everyone dotes on me. That's why my two younger brothers have listened to me since they were young." Wen Yan felt that she had never seen a naughty child before, and her younger brothers were all very obedient.
"That's great. When your brother comes next year, we will protect him. Your brother will be our brother." Chen Yuyan patted herself. Wen Yan is so handsome, her brother must be handsome too.
Anyang asked directly, "Is your brother handsome?"
Wen Yan glanced at a few people, and looking at Chen Yuyan's eyes, he knew, "Handsome, no one in our family is ugly, but I am the best looking, hahahaha."
Wen Yan said narcissistically, that's right, she was already pretty, and after the system transformation, she became even more exquisite. "Okay, don't think about it, don't think about your roommate's brother."
The three of them smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject. Who doesn't like a handsome guy?
The four of them lay in bed at night, talking about interesting things in their families. The small dormitory brought the four of them closer together.
"Go to bed early and get up early tomorrow. I'll take you to eat wontons. I've eaten there before this morning and they're very delicious." Seeing that it was getting late, Wen Yan hurriedly urged them to go to bed.
"Good night, Wen Yanyan."
"Good night, Dong Yuanyuan."
"Good night, Anyangyang."
"good evening"
