Chen Qing was filled with trepidation.
Even though He Yuxiang and Mao Mao came back from Guangdong Province early for the Chinese New Year, it didn't excite her much.
Chen Qing didn't come to her senses until Pingping had collected a whole basket of economics texts and placed them in front of her.
Pingping said, “Mom, you have to believe in your own strength. You really have abilities and power beyond ordinary people. And you have taught us since we were little that making mistakes is not terrible. The most important thing is to learn to avoid it next time. The history of our China will definitely be very long. As a pioneer, you are someone who seeks out experience. And you can also see from your books that even these very capable economists make mistakes. You have to calm down and not be anxious.”
Chen Qing looked at the stack of books in front of her, then at her daughter with dark circles under her eyes, and asked, "Have you read them?"
"Well, I shared the content with you because I felt it was good. I don't know what you're going to do. I only heard from Dad that you're going to take on another pilot project and become an unprecedented pioneer. I'm really happy for you, because you're the most amazing young woman I've ever met. So the more power you get, the happier I am."
Pingping has read many, many books and feels that her mother's existence itself is a miracle.
She gained nationwide attention, and regardless of whether she was criticized or praised, she remained steadfast in moving forward.
Moreover, she had no background or connections; she carved out her own path entirely on her own.
It can be said that it has gathered the right timing, the right place, and the right people.
As far as women are concerned, no one in the whole country is more famous than her, but she is flamboyant, dazzling and powerful, so she will really inspire many people to learn from her.
It enabled countless people to fight for their rights in a turbulent and vibrant era.
Looking at the adoring expression in her daughter's eyes, Chen Qing suddenly thought of a phrase: "Strive for the flowers of the motherland."
"Okay, Mom will study hard and do her job well."
"Um!!"
Pingping clenched her fists, but still couldn't help but smile.
I'm very happy.
Her mother was able to come to her senses quickly.
After Chen Qing had the learning materials, things did slow down a bit, and no one was urging her about the project. However, when she gained the power to lead the project, it still had a significant impact.
Many people felt that Chen Qing was about to soar to great heights, so they tried every means to build a good relationship with her.
The strangest thing is that Youyou and Pingping are fawned over by many people. Pingping becomes colder and colder as she grows up, like an iceberg, completely inheriting her father's appearance when he was young. Youyou is different. He is always smiling and never refuses the snacks that others give him, because he thinks they are not expensive and he has sincerely thanked them before eating them. Then he eats too much and gets a fever.
After his fever subsided, He Yuan ordered him not to go to school, but to clean the whole house and then go to the hamburger shop to help out.
Youyou had never felt so passionate about learning. She timidly said to her father, "I want to go to school. I'll do my best on the exams, and I'll definitely try to be in the top ten this time. Dad, please let me study, Mom..."
Chen Qing covered her eyes, pretending not to see.
He Yuan has always been the one to punish the four children at home.
She sometimes agreed and sometimes disagreed.
But they never dared to refute it on the spot.
At most, they'd say a few words about He Yuan behind his back.
If she were to interfere haphazardly, the children would have no one to fear. Before the children adapt to the rules of society, it is good for Chen Qing to establish some rules for them at home, so as to prevent them from being too reckless and fearless.
Youyou was forced to start working a regular job. While working at the burger shop, he spent two hours every day holding a megaphone to attract customers. He even set aside a special area for children: "Let me tell you, you can come here on your birthday. I heard that this is the most popular way for foreigners to do things. It's very trendy."
The children listened and believed it to be true.
Then, a trend emerged among the children in the capital that celebrating birthdays at a hamburger joint was the only way to truly celebrate.
Youyou thought that since she had done something good, the work time could be shortened, but it didn't. Her father said half a month, and he didn't give her any leeway.
He dutifully served the dishes and washed the plates.
But privately, she complained to her sister Xiaoyu about her father's outdated ideas: "My dad's thinking is completely outdated. He always thinks that labor can change his mindset."
Xiaoyu ate her hamburger while sitting on a small stool next to him, watching him slowly wash the dishes. She couldn't help but urge him, "Hurry up and rinse the dishes. The tap is running. If you don't hurry, you'll waste water."
Youyou sighed and obediently sped up the washing of the dishes.
The whole family is as hardworking as machines.
I don't know why, but he's the only lazy one.
He doesn't look like his sister at all. Sometimes he even doubts whether he was born to his parents, because his two older sisters and brother are very smart, while he is very ordinary.
After washing a large basin of bowls and chopsticks, Youyou arranged them neatly one by one.
Xiaoyu asked him, "Have you felt the benefits of studying?"
Youyou felt a pang of sympathy: "Actually, my studies haven't improved much. At most, I just have a little more free time."
Xiaoyu laughed: "So when you grow up, do you have to study more and get into university?"
"We'll see."
Youyou has no plans for the future.
His biggest dream is actually to eat, drink, and have fun, and live a carefree life.
Xiao Yu looked at him and saw that he was now eleven years old and quite tall. He was no longer the chubby, clingy boy he used to be. She sighed and said, "You don't tell me your worries anymore."
"No, it's just that you're all busy."
From top to bottom, everyone is busy.
Everyone has their own things to do.
Although his parents would make time to spend with him and his sister, he could still sense how busy they were.
Xiao Yu looked at him with a pitiful expression.
Youyou sighed: "Actually, it's nothing. When I was writing about what I wanted to do in the future, I wrote that I wanted to have lots of fun, and then the teacher scolded me, saying that I shouldn't be so unambitious."
Xiao Yu's eyes lit up: "My aunt and I both want to have lots of fun in the future!"
"But you don't have any..."
Youyou is truly impressed.
He was Comrade Chen Qing's biological son, so of course he knew that his mother was always clamoring to go out and play.
But in reality, she was working incredibly hard.
As for his biological father, older brother, and Pingping, needless to say, each of them is engrossed in their own favorite field.
Xiaoyu giggled: "Did you tell your aunt about this?"
"I told her, and my mom is very supportive. She told me to have fun from now on, and that she'll see how much she and my dad earn and give me one-sixth of it. But after she said that, I feel a little embarrassed to have fun."
My own parents are working hard.
He took his parents' money to play.
Youyou felt that she really couldn't do it.
And so it was very painful. (End of Chapter)
