Chapter 500 Knights Needed
"Your clothes are so thin that they look like a sandwich. How can they be called cotton-padded jackets?" Grandma Shan dug into her box and took out a large package. She patted it and smiled, saying, "This is the cotton that we grew on our family's private plot last year. Everyone made new cotton-padded jackets and several quilts. There's still a lot left."
She turned around and rummaged through the box, then took out a heavy bundle. "This is the cloth that your uncles and aunt brought back before. They bring it to me every year. How can an old lady like me wear so many clothes?
I just made you a cotton-padded jacket, so I can’t let it go bad, right? So don’t think too much about it.”
Wen Jingqiu pursed her lips tightly, her eyes flushed, and her throat seemed to be blocked by a piece of cotton. "Grandma, you are so kind."
"Silly child, can I just make you a set of clothes?" Grandma Shan held her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that the little girl's hands were red and swollen due to frostbite, she took out glycerin from the drawer of the table with heartache and applied it to her hands carefully.
"Forget about our family. We've always wanted a granddaughter. Even if the show is over, we can still be distant relatives. If you want to come one day, just ask Yuanzi's father to pick you up.
But for other people, don’t be foolish and say they are nice. Who knows what they want from you?
Little girls need to be more careful, especially when you grow up, you can't be fooled by some boy with sweet words.
They say that daughters should be raised in wealth, and this is what they are trying to prevent!" Grandma Shan said earnestly.
Wen Jingqiu smiled and nodded, "Grandma, I'm not stupid, I know clearly who is good to me and who has ulterior motives towards me.
I will often write to you when I go home, and I will let you take a look at my letters when I find a partner. How about that? "
Grandma Shan was amused by her words, "What a shameless little girl!"
The Shan family was especially nice to Wen Jingqiu and treated her like one of their own juniors, bringing all the delicious and fun things to her.
Wen Jingqiu was so moved that she almost burst out with emotion, but the next moment, she was even more moved. The only thing she could do was to smile brightly, be obedient, sensible, and sweet-mouthed.
Every night she would attend a live meeting. On one side, An Zhixia would instill different ideas and strategies based on the situations of each of them, while on the other side, she would communicate with Shan Weiyuan.
The only person Wen Jingqiu can rely on at home is her father, but her father is too busy to take care of everything for her. Moreover, her mother has been practicing the art of pretending to obey but actually disobeying over the past ten years.
So she finally had to stand up on her own.
Wen Jingqiu couldn't give up on herself like she did before, because that would only make her loved ones sad and her enemies happy. Her life hadn't really begun yet, and it shouldn't stop here.
She had to turn her anger into motivation, work hard at studying, try to shorten the time she relied on others, and break free from her family as soon as possible.
Wen Jingqiu plans to spend seven years studying for the college entrance examination. She will be exactly nineteen years old when she graduates from university.
An Zhixia gave her a lot of psychological counseling.
Because Wen Jingqiu's situation was special, An Zhixia called her several times in private and talked to her in detail.
There are countless ways to overcome all obstacles in the future. Wen Jingqiu felt a lot lighter. The thick fog dissipated and she could see the light ahead.
Of course, Wen Jingqiu also likes to talk to Shan Weiyuan every day and listen to him report on how Wen's mother and Wen Jiatong were so angry that they stamped their feet.
She also has ten minutes every day to communicate with other friends. After knowing Gu Xiaoxuan's learning progress, Wen Jingqiu also started to study hard.
Shan Sigu's mother-in-law is a teacher, so Shan Sigu takes Wen Jingqiu to stay for two days every week for tutoring.
The little girl's memory is not as good as Gu Xiaoxuan's, but she has a positive attitude and is determined to give it a try, so she is making rapid progress.
Due to her request, the program team did not show any of her tutoring and phone calls with An Zhixia in the live broadcast.
In two months, she finished all the first and second grade courses and caught up with the progress of the first semester of the third grade.
When she left Shiyan Village, she cried like a tearful person, and the Shan family members also wiped their tears, reluctant to let her go.
They agreed to pick her up for a short stay during the winter and summer vacations, and Shan's father would go find Wen's father to have a good talk.
Arriving at Tomorrow Culture Company, Wen Jingqiu was surprised to see that her busy father had also come. Her mother and Wen Jiatong beside him looked like docile little white flowers.
Shan Weiyuan waved and greeted her cheerfully from a distance. "Here, sister, this is your New Year's money this year!"
As he said this, he stuffed a thick envelope into her hand.
Wen Jingqiu pushed it back subconsciously, and then she took out a stack of red envelopes from her pocket: "This is your New Year's money."
Shan Weiyuan dodged and said, "That was given to you by your grandparents, so just take it. If I take it, my mother will break my legs!"
"That won't work. You have to choose one of these two!" Wen Jingqiu insisted stubbornly.
Shan Weiyuan stepped forward and whispered, "Take both of these. The extra one is my compensation for all the trouble I've put in your house. These are what you deserve, and they can be considered as a gift from me!"
If you don't want it anymore, you will be alienated from our family!"
Wen Jingqiu glared at him, then smiled helplessly and put the two thick red envelopes into her small shoulder bag, amidst the envious and jealous gaze of Wen Jiatong and the eager gaze of her mother.
She followed the staff to the meeting room, and when she saw An Zhixia, she trotted over with a smile, looking up slightly, "Report to Teacher Xiao An, I'm back safely!"
An Zhixia looked at the little girl, whose gloom had mostly dissipated and who now had a bright smile. She nodded and gestured at her height: "Not bad, you've grown quite fast in two months. Keep it up."
Wen Jingqiu nodded repeatedly: "Of course I'm growing fast. My dad would cut ice and catch fish every now and then to make soup for me. The meals at home were different every day. I also had to eat two eggs and drink milk powder twice a day.
The room was warm, and my two brothers and I ran and jumped around, growing fast.”
An Zhixia smiled and presented her with the bonus and prize.
The young guests just met and exchanged opinions with each other. They trusted An Zhixia more than their parents. After all, half of them had received New Year's money, but their parents took it back on the pretext that they were helping to keep it.
What's more, Wen Jingqiu's situation was rather special. She directly stated that she would invest all her money, including the red envelopes she had just received, into Tomorrow Culture Company.
An Zhixia did not say no, but asked someone to invite Wen's father to explain the situation.
Father Wen looked at Wen Jingqiu tenderly and longingly. The little girl was delicate and soft, and there was admiration in her eyes when she looked at him.
He chuckled and said, "This is Qiuqiu's own money, including the 200 yuan rewarded to the family, which is also at her disposal."
Father Wen walked up to Wen Jingqiu, bent slightly, looked at her with an apologetic look, and said, "Dad was wrong before. He was always busy with work and forgot that the little princess at home needed the protection of a knight."
