Shi Hongmei felt the enthusiastic applause from the five cheap NPC sons and daughters next to her. She had already been on the verge of tears when she saw Xiao Wu, whom she had "lost and found" earlier, and now her face was flushed even more.
Shi Hongmei excitedly picked up the microphone, "Hello everyone, I didn't expect to get second place. When I was little, I always dreamed of becoming a shop owner when I grew up. When I was young, my family didn't have much money, and of course, we don't have much money now either."
I used to dream of becoming a convenience store owner when I grew up, but I got criticized by my teacher. Everyone else wrote essays about wanting to be a teacher or a policeman, and the teacher said my ambition wasn't ambitious enough. So my essay was sent back for me to rewrite.
But now, I want to say to Teacher Wang from the Third Primary School that I am a qualified shopkeeper. I don't cheat or swindle; I'm honest and a responsible citizen. Teacher Wang! This world also needs the power of dreams.
Not all unconventional professions are devoid of ambition. This world is made up of countless ordinary people like us, Teacher Wang! If I ever get the chance, I'll open a small shop near your house, then you won't complain to the students about the shopkeeper miscalculating your bill!! Don't worry, I won't miscalculate your bill!! After all, I'm your student too!
The people I want to thank the most this time are my children in the park. If it weren't for them, my dream of running a convenience store would have gone bankrupt long ago. They are all such good people, and none of them have partners. So, I'm making a special advertisement to the audience to find them wives: the hardworking and reliable eldest, the beautiful and sweet-voiced second, the tough-talking but soft-hearted third, the skillful fourth, and the glib-tongued but most filial fifth in the world...”
The NPCs below had already sensed the stares from their surroundings. This was really too much! They wondered what Shi Hongmei was trying to do by asking if they had a boyfriend; so that's how she got them!
"In the end, you really are the best kids in the world. It's a pity that we can only have a parent-child relationship on the show in this lifetime. Love you!"
Xiao Wu had just been moved, thinking that this stingy contestant's mother at least had a conscience, when he heard her evaluation of him: "What 'smooth talker'?! He's clearly articulate! Doesn't he know how to choose his words?!"
Aunt Liu sighed with emotion. If she had known that she could find husbands through matchmaking, she would have asked Liu Wumei to do the same for the other men. Some of these young men had married early and already had children, while the unmarried ones weren't in a hurry. She had to urge them on.
After listening, Liu Wumei received gratified looks from the people beside her.
"Now let's reveal the winner of the second season of 'Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household'. He started out as a herdsman on a farm because of his identity, but with his unwillingness to give up and his perseverance, he eventually cleared up the misunderstanding."
After the reform event was triggered, when there was a shortage of housing per capita, people mortgaged their own properties and contracted real estate development, providing more and better housing for the people in the park and ushering in the real estate era of the park.
It improved the living standards of the people in the park and opened the park's first amusement park, enriching everyone's lives.
The first-place winner of the "Who is the Ten-Thousand-Yuan Household?" contest was Gongsun Dong.
Gongsun Dong's vision blurred, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. Heaven knows how hard his life was when he first entered the park!
He had thought about withdrawing from the competition several times. If it weren't for Grandpa Tang and Liu Erzhuang, he would have given up long ago. How could he have had the chance to start a new era?
Gongsun Dong couldn't hold back his sobs, "Waaah~" After calming down a bit, he said, "Thank you everyone, thank you all, thank you Grandpa Tang and Liu Erzhuang, thank you to the park, thank you to all the staff at the farm. If it weren't for you, I might have withdrawn from the competition long ago, and I wouldn't be here today."
At the start, I thought I'd won the lottery and become a lucky winner, boohoo, but then I got caught and ended up herding cattle on a farm. Those cows are awful! When I changed their hay, they butted me. Every day, the first thing I do is work, and they feed me the same coarse grain buns they used to sell to tourists—they're so tough, boohoo~"
The others below were surprised that Gongsun Dong was rambling on for so long, as if he wanted to start from the beginning of the creation of the world by Pangu.
"Later, Liu Erzhuang asked me to invest in real estate..."
Lin Xiaoxiao was flustered. Wait, where is this? Should I interrupt?
Sheng Yiyi glanced at the script, then at Gongsun Dong, who was clearly agitated and eager to express all the grievances he had endured. So she didn't interrupt him.
"On my last day, I was thinking, my life back then wasn't so bad after all. I had food and shelter, and there was no war. Compared to people who were reborn into other countries, I had a good start. I don't know why I always felt like the sky was falling. Life hadn't reached its end yet; God always leaves a way out for us ordinary people. Light will ultimately triumph over darkness!!! Light will prevail!!!"
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, but a warm feeling suddenly appeared in their hearts. Each of them was an ordinary person in an ordinary life. After seizing the opportunity, they might rise with the wind, or they might fall to the bottom. But there is always a way out, and there will always be a day when the darkest hour is over.
The staff at Feiyang Entertainment were also deeply moved. They used to think that with capital in power, working 996 and 007, earning meager wages, and bearing the burdens of a boss, they could barely survive in this world. If it weren't for President Lin's sudden emergence, they might have eventually compromised or been unable to bear it and chosen to "withdraw from the competition" forever.
The dreams of ordinary people, which are transformed into so-called "promising" dreams by worldly influences from childhood to adulthood, take only a short span of a dozen years. However, with the clarion call of the new era, all of them are the same in the face of new opportunities. Just as the so-called capital's forced bets cannot sway the true thoughts of ordinary people, ordinary people can also have the opportunity to ride the waves and seize opportunities. Even if they start from a hellish situation, they can still turn the tide.
Even if you don't seize the opportunity, as long as you don't forget your original aspirations, you can still have a happy life. After all, the hat from your childhood has long since flown away, but we still move forward. The hat may not have flown away, but it may have remained in our hearts, suddenly surfacing in our minds on some late night.
Hope always appears when courage and wisdom have been exhausted, when all hope seems lost. So, let's not give up hope!
Just as people twenty years ago couldn't imagine that one day a thin mobile phone would be able to connect with friends all over the world, just as people ten years ago couldn't imagine that the real estate bubble would burst, just as when computers were first invented, some people said that no one would ever own one, the development of the times is much faster than we imagined, and the waves of the times are also more numerous than we imagined. May everyone seize the opportunities of the times and ride the waves!
