Such a Saturday 1

  Finally made it to Saturday, finally don't have to go to school anymore, finally don't have to see those annoying faces anymore, finally can get a good sleep. Yue Ran is especially excited today, haven't felt this relaxed in a long time, need to be happy once.

  It's time to have breakfast. Since today is Saturday, Yueran's mom and dad are not working but they are both giving private lessons to others. Yueran also plans to find a part-time tutoring job to supplement the family income.

  Yue Zhongping sat above, faintly asking: Ranran, you've been coming back very late these past few days, what have you been up to?

  Yue Ran said: I and Meng Meng found a part-time job, which is in a porridge shop. The salary is still pretty good, so we don't have to ask you for pocket money anymore. Sometimes we can even give some money to Luo Luo.

  Yue Zhongping nodded solemnly, "It's okay this way, what are you planning to do on the weekend? Our family is not as good as it used to be now."

  Yue Ran excitedly said: Weekend? I've already asked my mom to help me find a part-time tutoring job, oh, by the way, did you help me find that job Mom was talking about?

  Yue Ran's mother nodded, somewhat worriedly saying: "Yes, it is indeed a good opportunity, but the location is quite far from home, in the East City District. That area is where all the wealthy people live, and when you go there to take a look, they're all villas, even more luxurious than our own home was back in its heyday. I'm just worried that it might be inconvenient, if you really do end up going there to tutor, then we'll have no choice but to use your car, Zhongping. But the pay there is quite high."

  Yue Zhongping put down his bowl of rice and said calmly: Let her take care of herself, we still need to use the car on Saturday, taking a public bus is too inconvenient. She's young, she should be able to take the public bus by herself, I can go pick her up when she comes back at night.

  Yue Ran felt a little guilty when he thought of his father's words, thinking that his previous life was so comfortable, but now it had become so poor and sour. He went to find work everywhere. "Okay, let's do it this way, mom, you help me contact them, I'll go after I finish eating."

  Yue Ran's mother nodded and immediately changed the subject, "Zhong Ping, I want to tell you something. Yue Ran's cousin, Xin Yu, came to our house yesterday and complained to me that her mother-in-law is always making things difficult for her, finding fault with everything she does. It's not surprising, though - her husband's family owns a big company, and Xin Yu is just an ordinary girl, so it's inevitable that she'll be bullied. She said that sometimes when she pours out her troubles to her husband, he just consoles her casually and doesn't dare say anything to his mother. I wonder if our Yue Ran will suffer the same fate if she marries a rich man in the future."

  Yue Ran rolled her eyes, "Mom, I'm not going to marry a rich man. In the future, I want to marry a lawyer, so we can have common topics to talk about. What's the point of marrying a businessman? Those businessmen are cold-blooded and ruthless, I don't want to enter the world of the wealthy."

  Yue Zhongping glared at her, extremely dissatisfied with what she said. He couldn't wait for his daughter to climb high and become a phoenix. "Shut up, don't talk nonsense, and Qingxia, don't say these baseless things in front of the child in the future."

  Yue Ran's mother glanced at him and said, "Hmph, Yue Ran is also considered an adult now, we should teach her some social experience early on."

  ………………

  Yue Ran came out wearing a white dress, looking youthful and vibrant. She ran to the bus stop and waited patiently for the bus. 5 minutes later, the bus slowly arrived, and Yue Ran hurriedly got on.

  Some people say that life is like taking a bus. We know it has a starting point and an ending point, but we can't predict the experiences along the way. Some people's journey is long, some people's journey is short. Some people are very comfortable and can enjoy the scenery outside the window. Some people are very anxious and always in a state of being pushed and crowded. However, compared to those hanging on the door who may fall off at any time, it seems that we should be grateful. Some people are very lucky and can sit down as soon as they get on the bus. Some people are very unlucky, even when everyone else is seated, she still has to stand. Sometimes seats become available elsewhere, but the one next to you remains empty and motionless.

  Yue Ran is just an unlucky person. She managed to stand all the way to the terminal station without a hitch, and finally got off the bus with legs so sore she couldn't move anymore.

  After soothing her sore feet, Yue Ran slowly lifted her head and let out a series of exclamations. "What a beautiful place!" The lake's autumn moon harmonize with each other, the pool's surface is calm without a ripple, like an unpolished mirror. Gazing afar at the colors of Dongting Lake and Mount Heng, it's as if a blue snail shell is placed in a silver plate." Yue Ran murmured softly to herself.
