The train slowly pulled into Huanshi Railway Station. Huang's father, along with his eldest uncle and younger uncle, were already waiting on the platform. When Huang's grandmother appeared in the crowd, they immediately went to greet her.
"Mom, you're back!" My uncle's voice was full of concern. "How's your eye?"
Grandma Huang smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, now I can see clearly. Why are you here too?"
"My second brother called and said you would be back today and asked us to come to the city to celebrate the Lantern Festival." My uncle explained.
"Where are the children?"
"They are all at my second brother's house. My second sister-in-law and the others are preparing lunch. Wenxia is helping to look after the store with the children." The uncle replied.
"Okay, this is the first time I'm spending the New Year away from home. The children haven't received their New Year's money yet. Come on, go home."
Grandma Huang spoke anxiously and quickened her pace as she walked out.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my in-laws and their daughter-in-law busy cooking in the earthen pot in the yard.
"Oh, relative, you are finally back. The children at home are missing you." Grandma greeted him warmly.
"Thank you for your hard work, elder sister. The second family relies heavily on your support." Grandma Huang said politely.
"It's all thanks to you that my children are filial and my son-in-law doesn't mind us being a burden. Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll ask you to try my clay pot chicken at noon today." Grandma said with a smile, her words full of confidence in her cooking skills.
In the kitchen, the three daughters-in-law of the Huang family were busy with clear division of labor and cooperated with each other.
At noon, three tables were set up simultaneously, and the Huang and Liu families celebrated the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month together in a warm and festive atmosphere. In the afternoon, the women also steamed lanterns with flour and made a variety of pastries in the shapes of bunnies, hedgehogs, snakes, and other animals. Each one was lifelike and filled with festive atmosphere.
The smile on Xiaomei's face never stopped. Xu Mengyao gently rubbed her face with her hands:
"You, you, aren't you afraid that your face will become stiff from smiling?"
Xiaomei hugged her directly and said happily:
"It's been a great year, and it's great to have you guys."
After eating Yuanxiao, Wenxia took his uncle's children to play with Cheng Xin. Xiaomei, Wenrong, and Xu Mengyao stayed inside, sitting around a lantern, sharing their experiences.
"Wenrong, you actually became the heroine of Monsoon's music video. This is incredible!"
Xiaomei said in surprise, her eyes wide open, unable to believe what she heard.
"Oh my God, if your classmates at school knew about this, they would definitely envy you to death. Is Ji Feng the same in real life as he is on TV?" Xiaomei continued to ask.
Huang Wenrong recalls with happiness:
"I think he's even more handsome than he appears on TV, and he's a very nice guy, not at all arrogant. After filming, he even treated all the crew to a meal."
"Wenrong, are you going to be a star in the future?" Xiaomei asked curiously.
"I don't know. It just happened to be an opportunity when I went to Beijing this time. I was very interested, so I tried it. I found it quite interesting."
Wenrong answered with a look of longing for the future in his eyes.
"Sister, then you should apply to the Film Academy when you take the college entrance examination. Where do you want to go to college in the future?" Xu Mengyao asked.
"Haicheng"
"Capital"
Huang Wenrong and Xiaomei answered in unison, and then smiled at each other.
"Wenjuan, you have been to both places. Which one do you think is better? If you both go to Beijing, I will go with you." Xiaomei asked.
"Both cities have their own advantages. The country is now fully committed to developing Haicheng. I want to make money where there are more opportunities. After making money, I will buy a house in Beijing, all over the country, and even around the world!" Her tone was firm and full of determination.
This ambitious statement caused the other two to burst into laughter.
More than a month later, Huang Shao called:
"Wenrong, I'm your fourth uncle. Monsoon's new music video will be broadcast on the music channel at 5:30 pm. Remember to watch it then."
After hearing the news, the whole family had been waiting anxiously in front of the TV at five o'clock. As the prelude sounded, Huang Wenrong's face quickly appeared on the TV screen, the girl's bright and shy beauty as well as her melancholy and brokenness were vividly portrayed.
Wenxia's mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg. His eyes kept switching between the TV screen and Huang Wenrong beside him, and he said in a daze:
"Sister, why are you so beautiful?"
At this time, Huang Wenrong's cheeks flushed slightly, and there was both shyness and pride in his eyes.
She chuckled and said, "I wear makeup on TV."
At this moment, the hearts of the whole family were fluctuating with the music and pictures. Huang Wenrong on TV showed a charm different from before, dazzling and eye-catching.
When the MV finished playing, the family was still immersed in the scene and was reluctant to come back to their senses for a long time.
"Wenrong, you are really awesome!" Xiaomei said excitedly.
"Yes, our Wenrong is so handsome, he should go make movies!" said my aunt excitedly.
With Ji Feng's new song playing three times a day on major TV stations, the show's heroine, Huang Wenrong, quickly became the center of attention. After thorough investigation, teachers and students at the school confirmed that the female lead in the music video was none other than Huang Wenrong, a familiar figure. Suddenly, the entire campus was abuzz with excitement.
Every day, many students from other classes and even from other schools flocked to the classroom door, just to catch a glimpse of the beautiful girl. The school security guard had never been so tired at work, not only to maintain order, but also to prevent some overly excited students from climbing over the wall to enter the campus.
City leaders also approached the school, hoping to invite her to host a recent party. Since then, Huang Wenrong has frequently appeared in various school ceremonies and various activities in the city.

At the same time, Zhang Chengli in Beijing was calling Bincheng.
"Master Shao Si, how are you doing recently?"
"If you have something to say, just say it." Huang Shao's answer was brief and direct.
"Hey, kid. I just took Monsoon's music video to the US for a competition. Even if it's just a nomination, the teacups I gave you are worth it. Your little girl is very famous now. Many people in the industry have been asking me for her information recently. There's even a director in Hong Kong who wants to use her in a movie. Give me her phone number."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
"Push it, she won't go."
"Hey, what's going on? Didn't you say yours was from a wise leader? You replied without even asking?" Zhang Chengli said anxiously.
"Chengli, not to mention that my niece is still underage and still attending school in her hometown, don't you know the complicated situation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry?"
Huang Shao's voice became serious, and Zhang Chengli fell silent.
"If the little girl finishes high school and wants to act or sing in mainland China, I won't object, because I can protect her here. Our Huang family only has these two bloodlines. Not only can I not bear to see them being bullied, but even my old man can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes."
Huang Shao's words were powerful, and he hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
