After receiving the certificate and taking pictures, Tang Yuyan and her sister walked off the stage with the crowd. After returning to their parents, they both handed the envelope containing the money to their mother, who kept it on their behalf.

After returning home and having a simple meal, several people gathered around the envelope in their mother's hand, looking forward to it.

"Sister, guess how many?" Tang Yuran asked.

"Up to 200." Tang Yuyan said affirmatively.

"I think it's up to 100, after all, the number of people who sent it this time is quite large." Tang Yuran said.

"Oh, Mom, open it and let's see, how much money is there?" Tang Yuchen said eagerly.

"Okay, let's open it." Zhang Wenyin said and opened the two envelopes in his hand.

When Tang Yuyan and the others looked at the envelopes in her mother's hands attentively, Zhang Wenyin also quickly opened the two envelopes. After opening the envelope, Zhang Wenyin first looked at the amount inside, and then smiled mysteriously and said, "There was a person who guessed right just now." ”

“200。” Tang Yuyan said.

“100。” Tang Yuran said.

I saw Zhang Wenyin looking at Tang Yuyan and shaking her head and saying, "You guessed wrong, the two envelopes are 100, adding up to 200." ”

Tang Yuran said and took the envelope in his mother's hand, took the money in the envelope out, looked at it and said, "It's really 100 yuan." ”

With the end of the Youth Talent Competition, Tang Yuyan's life has returned to its original appearance.

After dinner that day, Zhang Wenyin and Tang Lianghao took a few children to Beihai Park to eat, and they happened to talk about the difference between City C and City N.

"You've been in City C for a long time, what is the difference between City C and City N?" Tang Lianghao asked naturally as he walked.

"The difference?" Tang Yuyan asked, why do you ask this well?

"yes, tell me how these two cities are different!" Tang Lianghao asked again, "Say it one by one, everyone has to say it differently, Yu Yan, you start first." Tang Lianghao said and named Tang Yuyan to open.

"City C belongs to the northern city, and there is still a temperature difference between day and night, even if it is still relatively cool at night in summer, but city N is still hot in summer." Tang Yuyan looked at the people around her who were still running at night and said.

"Well, that's a point, Yu Ran, you go on." After Tang Lianghao commented, he named Tang Yuran and continued.

"There is not as much greenery on the streets of City C as there is in City N, and I feel that the air is not as good as City N." Tang Yuran thought about the gray weather two days ago and said.

"Well, that's a little bit too, Yuchen." Tang Lianghao named Tang Yuchen again, and continued.

"The home in City C is not as big as City N." Tang Yuchen thought that he was still living in the living room, so he couldn't help but talk about the living environment.

"It's not as big as the house in N City, but you can be with your parents here!" Tang Lianghao said seductively.

"Well, yes." Tang Yuchen nodded in response.

"Go on, Tang Yuyan is still your start." Tang Lianghao named Tang Yuyan and opened a new round of city comparison.

After Tang Yuyan said the words "You can be with your parents here", Tang Yuyan guessed that her father might have planned to let them all stay.

"The streets of City C are wider than those of City N, and there are fewer curves, and City N is narrower in terms of lanes and streets, and it is not so wide." Tang Yuyan gestured as she spoke.

"Hmm." Tang Lianghao nodded.

Tang Yuran continued: "City C,,, City C have no grandmother. Tang Yuran thought for a while and said.

"You can't have it both ways." Tang Yuyan patted her sister's shoulder and said, then looked at her little brother, and then said, "It's your turn." ”

"The people of City C are more heroic, and City N is more exquisite." Tang Yuchen thought about the people in City C that he came into contact with during this time and said.

"Anything else to add?" Tang Lianghao asked, after seeing a few children looking at each other and not knowing what the difference between the two cities was, Tang Lianghao continued: "You ignore that City C is a second-tier city, and our hometown City N is a third-tier or even fourth-tier city. ”

"So what!" Tang Yuyan asked suspiciously, does it matter how many tiers this city is?

"Still don't understand?" Tang Lianghao slowed down his pace and explained slowly: "In a second-tier city, the education you receive, the knowledge you learn, and the things you come into contact with, in short, all the treatment will be better than that of the third- and fourth-tier cities!" ”

After Tang Lianghao finished speaking, he looked at a few children and said, "For example, your grades. ”

Tang Yuyan and the others watched their father use their achievements as a metaphor, and they also instantly cheered up and listened attentively.

"Your grades are probably the first in your school." Tang Lianghao looked at Tang Yuyan and said, then looked at Tang Yuran and Tang Yuchen and said, "It may also be the top ten in the grade." ”

After talking about the ranking of results, Tang Lianghao continued: "But here, you may still regress in your ranking, you may not be the first place anymore, or you may no longer be in the top ten in the grade." ”

"No matter what kind of learning environment it is, I will do my best to have no regrets, but I still don't understand what it matters how many tiers of cities I am in." Tang Yuyan still asked puzzled.

Tang Lianghao thought for a while and said: "So you may not feel the gap yet, then think about the imperial capital, there is a gap between the imperial capital and our hometown N City, right?" ”

Tang Yuyan and the others nodded and returned: "There is a gap." ”

"Then the second-tier city of City C is closer to the first-tier city of the imperial capital than City N, you understand!" Tang Lianghao continued.

"Dad, can I understand that City C is a transitional city?" Tang Yuyan asked.

"You can say the same thing." Tang Lianghao nodded in agreement.

"You can think about whether to stay in City C or go back to City N." Tang Lianghao said, thought about it and added: "You also said a lot about the difference between these two cities just now, now give you time to consider whether you want to stay in City C or go back to City N." ”

After Tang Lianghao finished speaking, he stopped squeaking, leaving enough time for Tang Yuyan and a few people to think, Tang Yuyan thought about it and planned to wait for a while to ask her younger brothers and sisters what they thought, and then make plans.

"Dad, I'm going to find Mom." Tang Yuyan said suddenly.

"Go ahead!" Tang Lianghao waved his hand at Tang Yuyan, indicating that you can go if you want to.

After Tang Yuyan found her mother in the square dance team, she said to her mother: "Dad wants us to stay and continue studying here, is it okay?" ”

"Your dad told you?" Zhang Wenyin looked at Tang Yuyan and said, "Actually, I really want you to go back, after all, your father is the only one at home to earn money to support the family, and his burden will definitely be heavier if you stay." ”

Tang Yuyan nodded in agreement when she heard her mother say this.

Zhang Wenyin continued: "But since you want to stay, your father must have thought about it, so you don't have to worry about whether it will be bad for you to stay, if you want to stay, just stay, everything is with me and your father." ”

"Hmm." Tang Yuyan nodded silently, and then the whole person fell into silence.
