Lu Li stared at the callus on the middle finger of her right hand and her arm that still felt a little stiff. She couldn't believe this possibility no matter what.

She spent so much time working on a 110,000-word manuscript!

The more Lu Li thought about it, the more panicked she became, and her pace gradually quickened.

…

After losing three students and not being paid her royalties, she had an unprecedented meal that night and then returned to the dormitory. She sat quietly at her desk with her eyes blank, which was an extremely rare waste of time.

But Chen Siyu had already vividly described the details of the phone call to them in the afternoon. Ding Wei would not comment on whether there was any embarrassment, but the core of it should be correct.

so

In this state, Lu Li must have been abandoned by her family, so she felt uncomfortable!

The three people in the dormitory looked thoughtful, winked at each other, and decided not to disturb her mood.

At this moment, Ding Wei looked at the calendar and found that today was her dear aunt's birthday.

Oh my gosh!

This is a big deal!

Whether you have a good time in the four years of college depends on your aunt!

And the winter vacation is about to begin. Even if you use working as an excuse, you can’t go back during the Chinese New Year. The treatment then will also depend on your aunt!

So she thought about it, picked up the phone card and went to the corridor.

After inputting dozens of digits, I finally successfully dialed the familiar phone number:

"Auntie, I am Weiwei!"

As a decent city dweller, Lao Ding's brothers, sisters and children would naturally come to celebrate my aunt's birthday.

It was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon, and dinner at my aunt's house had not yet started, when I received a call from Ding Wei.

The aunt was overjoyed: "Oh! Weiwei! How is it? Has your mother given you enough living expenses? Are you doing well in school?"

Although he only said these few words, Ding Wei understood the expectations hidden in them.

"Auntie, happy birthday!"

After she finished speaking, she felt a little frustrated: "No one answered my home phone calls before."

Naturally, the call was not made, but the aunt had already figured it out: "I blame your mother for not being at home well every day..."

Bai Xiujuan, who was still cooking, took the blame innocently. The most important thing is that she didn't know anything yet.

There is a reason why my aunt has such a good attitude.

"Weiwei, do you know what your brother Haitao's score is in this exam?"

Ding Wei thought that the review for the third year of high school has reached a stage, and the results will be improved to some extent. But in the previous life, Haitao's younger brother performed beyond the standard, and in the end he was only an ordinary second grader, so

Ahem.

So I pretended I couldn't think of it: "How much?"

My aunt was extremely surprised: "I got fifteen places!"

She was elated: "Weiwei, as a sister, you know how much you care about your brother. It must be the information you sent back that played a role! You kid, you spent a lot on postage, didn't you?"

"How much did it cost in total? Tell your aunt and she will replenish it for you."

A heavy box of test papers and information was sent back. When people in the community saw it, they all envied her bright niece!

None of my siblings care so much!

In those days, people kept coming to my aunt’s house to borrow materials and make copies!

After all, no matter how good the materials recommended by the school are, they were given by students of the University of Ming Dynasty!

Besides, for a senior high school student, how can there be too much information?

Ding Wei also smiled brightly: "Auntie, I have loved Haitao since he was a child. He is smart and sensible. He will definitely have a big future! What do you say about money? Auntie, you are so good to me, so let's see it outside.

Already."

The aunt felt dizzy after hearing this, as if her son, whose grades are still on the third line, will really be admitted to the University of Ming Dynasty in the future, complete his master's degree and Ph.D., enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and enter the News Network...

Yes, Haitao is so promising!

Auntie became energetic for a while, then she heard Ding Wei's instructions: "So Auntie, during this critical period, you can't let brother Haitao relax and stare at him doing questions and papers every day. Our question sea tactics are famous for their power."

, write more questions! By the time you have developed this muscle memory, you will be able to write when you see the paper. Can your score not go up?"

The aunt nodded her head in agreement.

"but……"

Ding Wei's main topic came: "Auntie, life in the imperial capital is very stressful. There are many clubs in our school and there are many places to spend money. Now that the weather is cold, we have to buy thick clothes, shoes and socks, etc."

The aunt quickly said: "I'll ask your mother to give you money!"

"No no no!"

Ding Wei looks so simple and cares about her family

"Auntie, I have grown up and now I have to learn to be self-reliant. It is not easy for my parents to make money. I can't spend it like this."

"I've thought about it, I won't go back during the winter vacation, and I'll be a substitute teacher in a tutoring institution. Although the student's salary is small, it should be enough for me to buy some clothes and food. And I can also listen to what those gold medal teachers teach.

, I will compile it into information and send it back to brother Haitao."

Ding Wei was almost moved by herself. What a good daughter and niece who is devoted to her family!

"Anyway, brother Haitao won't be able to take a few days off during the winter vacation. I just want to go back and tutor him, but the effect won't be very good. I might as well collect more information for him."

She sighed again: "Otherwise, I can help you find out about the schools and majors in this imperial capital, so that when you finally apply for a job, you won't be blinded."

On the school forum, these information are updated every year, and there are discounts for buying them in packages, and they are indeed carefully compiled by the senior brothers and sisters, because I have already bought them for hundreds of yuan before, and I will add more after the new year. It is completely

not a problem.

If you can get some peace and quiet for a few hundred dollars, that's really great.

…

Ding Wei is now thinking about her family wholeheartedly: "Auntie, I try not to spend money randomly in school and earn my own money. You also asked my parents to pay more attention to their health. They haven't answered the phone recently. They must think that I am spending too much money...

…”

The voice dropped, and the aunt couldn't help but glare at Ding Haiyang, who was still playing cards. She blamed his unlucky wife!

What a wonderful ocean they have! They are all led by their daughter-in-law to stop kissing their daughter!

On the other end of the phone, Ding Wei was still urging: "Auntie, let go of the boy and let him go as far away as possible and try his luck in a developed city. But these schools have regional protections, and our students there are very

It’s hard to get retribution, so I have to inquire more safely..."

In fact, the main reason is that there are not enough points.

If Brother Haitao's score is really secure enough, Ding Wei won't mind him coming to the imperial capital.

At least this guy helped her stop a wave of trouble in her last life.

But my aunt was extremely moved.

The eldest girl of my Lao Ding family... is so outstanding!

She also expressed distressed concern:

"Silly girl, you are still young. When you should get money from your family, you should go to your family for money. How tiring it is to be a substitute teacher. You are a student and the boss is deducting your salary. However, it is also a good thing for you to exercise. When the time comes, you can give Hai

Tao can help..."

The two were moved by each other, and finally hung up the phone reluctantly.

Only then did the aunt react.

"Oh, I feel so sorry for our Hai Tao that I forgot to ask Hai Tao to say a few words."

"I'm telling you, if you have nothing to do, please give me a few words...I won't answer my children's phone calls when I'm old..."

Bai Xiujuan was really wronged.

"Sister, I really didn't receive it."

The aunt frowned: "You either dance in the square or go out for a walk every day. When you come back, you watch TV and then fall asleep. What can you expect?"

"But let me tell you, the child's heart is for our family, and you can't quarrel with her because of this matter."

"Did you give Weiwei living expenses this month? How much did you give? It's cold today, so shouldn't the child buy some clothes or something at school? A down jacket costs several hundred. Thanks to you, I'm still a mother... Xiujuan

Ah, sometimes I don’t even want to talk about you, please remember to take the time to give us both a few hundred dollars when you go back tonight.”

She turned around and went to the kitchen, muttering unwillingly: "Thankfully, I'm a mother, so I can't afford to eat, so I just let my children pick and swish in school..."

She has accumulated a lot of authority. At this moment, several people are sitting there in the living room. After a moment of silence, the sounds of playing mahjong are much gentler.

…

Today is indeed a good day.
