The money from her family and Ning Hao’s family will eventually be pooled together, and any surplus at the end of the year will be given to her or Ning Hao as a big red envelope.
Last year, their two families returned about ten thousand two hundred yuan, since Ning Hao’s family has two parking spaces, so after paying the rent, there wasn’t much left after deducting the property fees and utility bills, and generally, these were paid by themselves, rarely troubling the property managent. Hua Yan often didn’t want this money, it beca Ning Hao’s living expenses.
As for Hua Yan, since she doesn’t eat at school, she needs about two thousand yuan a month for living expenses, which she manages herself, and two thousand yuan is enough for her to eat well.
In comparison, Ning Hao, who eats at school, might need a bit more for living expenses, but this kid is also thrifty. Apart from study and living expenses, he absolutely won’t spend on anything unnecessary.
Seeing him be so frugal, every season change, she takes her brother out to buy clothes or directly buys them for him to take ho. A single purchase runs into tens of thousands of dollars, since it’s all sports brand clothing. After all, he’s a boy, so she never buys him tight jeans, only sportswear, which is more expensive, and the sa goes for sneakers. So, two sets, plus occasionally one or two items for herself, add up to ten thousand yuan just like that.
She earns this money, so she dares to spend it. If she couldn’t earn it, she might buy so cheap clothes on Taobao. This is her consumption philosophy—spending fluctuates with one’s capability.
She would never do anything beyond her abilities; she also taught Ning Hao that people should only eat according to their capacity. Never sell your kidney or take out a campus loan just to buy sothing like an apple phone, that’s all foolish behavior.
Ning Hao imdiately expressed that he would spend every cent with a plan.
Actually, Hua Yan also knew these words were unnecessary because Ning Hao is really not that type of person. A kid who plans his expenses and keeps a ledger, how could he possibly engage in such ambitious endeavors? But she still couldn’t help but remind him.
In a place like Beijing where wealthy families abound, the better the school, the more affluent the students’ families are. Not necessarily extrely luxurious, but at least they’re middle-class families, with parents often being public servants, and comprehensive developnt for their children.
As the second generation in Beijing, Ning Hao’s parents worked hard to get their household registration and stay in Beijing. It’s not easy for him to be born with a Beijing household registration, so he will definitely cherish his future days.
As for her, she is also the second generation in Beijing. Her parents are Beijing natives, but Hua Guoqiang had the opportunity to get rich. Having money equates to having power. So, when she was born, she had the prestigious Beijing household registration. Just this one registration saved her countless years of struggle, so she hopes she can also achieve notable success.
After Hua Yan arrived at the school, she first checked in with the class and then started doing school-wide cleaning duties.
In the evening, she could go to the piano room to practice, go to the library, or go back to the dormitory. Hua Yan went to the library for a while and then found a place to enter the space to practice the piano. Compared to the school’s piano, the one Mom bought for her is better. Every two years, she finds soone to maintain and tune both pianos.
Speaking of which, the two pianos Mom bought were not a loss at all. After practicing for so many years, she has done a lot of hard work on them.
At the start of the new sester, a professional teacher told her that this sumr she could try participating in the Xinghai Cup Piano Competition. It’s a national event. If she can make a breakthrough in this competition, she might be able to join international piano competitions next year or the year after. The prerequisite is that she wins an award. If she doesn’t, it’s okay; she can try again next ti. In conclusion, piano is about continuously pushing one’s limits.
The Xinghai Cup is considered a relatively professional piano competition in the country. She hopes to take it seriously and practice diligently for the sumr competition.
For Hua Yan, who has never participated in a piano competition, this is indeed quite a challenge, therefore she practiced more diligently in her daily routines.
On Friday night, after school, she and Ling Yao left their respective schools and arrived at the filming location on the business outer ring. It was all pre-arranged, a two-day schedule, not a minute to waste. Filming would finish on Sunday night, and that night they were shooting a night scene, making sure she returned to the hotel before ten.
Coincidentally, Liang An was also present, unlike the previous ambiguous campus scenes, this ti they were shooting the senior internship period, where she faced constant difficulties from a seasoned co-worker at her internship unit, working overti until late at night.
