Young Lü Yan might have harbored a small crush on Tang Hao—after all, what girl doesn't harbor a crush? But later on, she was more smothered in pride and arrogance, feeling that with her family background and good looks, she couldn't possibly lose to a girl from the countryside.
But she lost the price she paid for this arrogance. More than 20 years of her youth were wasted on a man who never looked her in the eye. Fortunately, she has come to her senses now and decided to divorce Tang Hao.
Wenwen didn't know how to comfort her, so she just patted Tang Rong's shoulder and said, "Everything will be fine."
In order to entertain these two distinguished guests from Beijing, Wenwen put aside what she was doing and took them to visit a pharmaceutical factory and to the mountains to collect herbs, which was also considered an outing for the children in the city.
Originally, we thought they would leave after two days, but later Tang Tian said that she wanted to stay in Lijia Bay and would not return to Jinshi. Not only was Wenwen surprised to hear this, but even her sister Tang Rong couldn't believe it.
Tang Rong asked: "Are you sure you want to stay here? What are you going to do here?"
Tang Tian said, "I'm sure. Since school is closed now, I like Lijiawan. If I stay in Lijiawan, I can work in the pharmaceutical factory. Aren't there many educated youth working in pharmaceutical factories there?"
Wenwen looked at the girl, who was a year younger than her. "Are you sure you can go to work? Don't let them assign you to work in the workshop later, and you won't be able to do it. Then you will become a laughing stock."
Wenwen thought to herself, what kind of work can a young lady who has never touched women do? Staying here will only cause trouble for her. But she couldn't say this out loud. Wouldn't it hurt the girl's self-esteem?
Wenwen winked at Tang Rong: "Hurry up and persuade your sister to go back? Don't stay and cause trouble for me."
Tang Rong understood what Wenwen meant. She pulled her sister aside to persuade her, but failed. Tang Tian insisted on staying in Lijia Bay.
Tang Tian said to Wenwen, "Sister Wen, didn't you say you needed a personal secretary? How about I be your personal secretary? If I don't do a good job, you don't have to kick me out, I'd be too embarrassed to stay. I hope you can give me this opportunity."
In the past two days, Wenwen took them around everywhere and complained a little while chatting. She just said that she had too many things to do in her daily life and often couldn't remember things. She hoped to find a personal secretary for this purpose.
Seeing how serious she was, Wenwen told her the truth: "The requirements for being a personal secretary are very high. Don't think that this is a rural area and that it's just a casual position. It requires a lot of knowledge. In more strict companies, at least you have to know a foreign language."
Wenwen really didn't want to hurt her self-esteem, but she had to tell her the truth. Look at her secretary-general, he is an all-rounder. Of course, she didn't dream of competing with the old man, but she couldn't marry a rich girl who knew nothing.
I was afraid that instead of being her personal secretary, I would have to serve her and be her personal secretary in return.
But Tang Tian refused to go back to Beijing and insisted on staying. Tang Rong had no choice but to tell Wenwen, "How about this: let her try it out first and stay with you for a while. If she really can't adapt, you can send her away."
Tang Tian is now very enthusiastic about staying and will not give up unless she is allowed to try.
What could Wenwen say? She could only agree. She looked at Tang Tian and asked, "Tell me the truth, why do you have to stay?"
Tang Tian looked at her seriously and said, "You are only one year older than me, but everything you do is a big deal. Before I came to Lijiawan, I only heard people talk about how great you were. But now that I'm here, what I see and hear has given me a more certain feeling that you are even more amazing than what people say outside.
I'm not saying I want to be as great as you, but I think I've grown up and want to find the value of my existence. I don't want to be idle like this every day. I think I can learn a lot of useful knowledge by staying with you."
Tang Rong, standing by, didn't expect her sister to say such a thing. She said to Tang Tian, "Since this is your own choice, you must seize the opportunity. Staying with Comrade Wen is definitely the best choice. I also hope that you can learn even the slightest bit of ability from Comrade Wen."
Seeing how serious and persistent Tang Tian was, Wenwen had no choice but to agree to let her stay. She said, "All of us educated youth here not only have to work during the day, but also continue to study cultural courses at night. We are also learning English here. The workload is very heavy, and there is basically no free time."
This was not to prevent her from staying, but to scare Tang Tian. It was true that now in the village primary school, in addition to the literacy classes for the villagers, the educated youth had to study at night and continue to learn cultural subjects. During this period, a new course was added, which was learning English.
Of course, this was proposed by Wenwen, because she is also learning English and German with the Secretary-General, so she taught the educated youth everything she learned.
Despite all this, Tang Tian remained undeterred in her determination to stay. She said, "I'm not afraid. If other educated youth can do what they can without fear of hardship, I believe I can do it too."
This time, her parents' incident did have an impact on her, but the biggest impact was after she came to Lijiawan and saw how good Lijiawan was. In the past two days, she also heard everyone say that Lijiawan could have such a beautiful scene today because of Wenwen.
When I heard about Wenwen's deeds in Jingshi before, I admired her very much. Now after coming to Lijiawan, I can say that I not only admire her, but also respect her for changing the fate of so many people with her own efforts.
On the other hand, she herself had been confused for so many years, not knowing what her life goal was. This time, when she came to Lijiawan, she found her life goal, which was to stay in Lijiawan, follow Wenwen, and continue to learn and improve.
In the end, only Tang Rong returned to Beijing alone. She never expected that her sister, who always looked simple and innocent, would change so much in an instant.
The environment forces people to grow up. So many things have happened at home in the past two years that the younger sister who has always been protected by her has grown up all of a sudden.
Tang Rong felt a little sad. Outsiders envied their prominent family background, but she envied those ordinary girls who were loved by their parents and family.
During the two days in Lijiawan, she envied Wenwen very much, not because of Wenwen's proud achievements, but because she envied her for being loved by her parents and brothers, which was her lifelong luxury.
