She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 962 - 840: Super Star 14 (6000)_3

Her family members have run away from home three or four times, but each time they manage to find their way back, just based on this, she has reason to doubt him.

With Doudou gone, Hua Yan actually breathed a sigh of relief. It’s good that he left; it saves her from worrying about him. Although it makes her feel lonely, once she’s busy, she won’t have time to think about this and that.

During military training, she could arrive home by six o’clock without any evening self-study sessions. Yet, Hua Yan had already begun preparing by reviewing her books after dinner and taking a bath, bringing the books into her space.

She reviewed the key points of each subject to get a clear understanding, then started practicing the piano, reading extracurricular books, and when the time was up, she’d rest.

Time slipped by swiftly, and in a blink of an eye, the military training ended. With her excellent physical fitness, Hua Yan earned the award for Outstanding Military Trainee.

After the official start of school, she wore her school uniform every day, regardless of the season, with two sets to change and wash. In the morning, she’d usually make her own breakfast at home, and after jogging and morning reading, she wouldn’t go back home. Instead, she would have a bowl of porridge or buy a bowl of soy milk in the canteen, eat lunch in the canteen, and after lunch, she’d find a place to enter her space for a nap. Sometimes she’d sleep for three or four hours and wake up, only to find that little time had passed outside. At this point, she’d practice the piano, lie on the bed reading, open her computer to write something, anyway using fragmented time at noon, since when she returns home and finishes washing up at night, it’s already 10 PM.

If homework was assigned in the morning, she would take advantage of the noon time to finish it. In the evenings, during the self-study sessions, she’d mostly work on homework from different subjects. Sometimes the teacher would extend a class, explaining some key points or conducting dictations and writing exercises. Each evening’s self-study class is mostly occupied by Chinese, math, and English, while physics and chemistry have to rely on the daytime classroom time for understanding, usually only assigning some homework.

The biggest change from primary school to junior high school is the lack of time. Hua Yan manages well due to her space cheat, at least ensuring she has time to rest, but other students are not as fortunate.

A week after school started came Teacher’s Day. In primary school, she never gave any gifts to teachers, and she naturally wouldn’t in junior high either. The most she’d do is join her classmates to wish the teachers a happy holiday. She feels that studying well is the biggest reward for teachers; everything else is superficial, not something a child like her could manage to handle properly.

When Mid-Autumn Festival came, Doudou still hadn’t returned, so she took advantage of these three days to complete the Level 9 task.

During the National Day seven-day holiday, she didn’t go anywhere, working at home on Level 10 and Level 11 tasks.

However, on the last day of the National Day holiday, she made a trip to the bank.

She withdrew the one hundred and twenty thousand she had saved previously, earning five thousand yuan in interest, which totals one hundred and twenty-five thousand.

Then there was the fifty-five thousand in the term account with a 3% annual interest; she saved it for a year and a half and now it matured, earning interest of about 25,000.

During the summer vacation, she earned 30,000 yuan working, 30,000 in publishing fees, from June ’11 to January ’12, received a total of 520,000 in manuscript fees, 10,000 for winter vacation work, 300,000 living expenses for 2012, 20,000 from summer vacation work in ’12, 600,000 in channel fees in June, 280,000 in manuscript fees from February to September, another 30,000 in publishing fees, all together totaling 3,645,000.

As for her usual living expenses, just the bank interest from these funds is almost enough. The only major expense would be tuition fees. Deducting 45,000, she currently has 3,600,000 in hand.

In October ’12, the housing price in Xicheng District had already risen to over 30,000. Her money sounds like a lot, but it could only buy a place of about one hundred to one hundred and ten square meters.

But relying on herself, she couldn’t buy a house, and she didn’t want the Ning Family to find out because it was really too inconceivable.

Finally, she found an agent to take her to buy a house. This way, she not only earned the agency fee but also avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The reason they gave was simple: "This is a relative’s child, the parents are out of town, put the house in the child’s name, and let the child make all the decisions."

So she took two days off to follow the agent around looking at houses, finally buying a 110-square-meter house at a price of 31,000 yuan per square meter, totaling 3,400,000, plus deed tax and other miscellaneous fees, which added up to less than 3,500,000. She paid it in full, read the contract several times, confirmed it was correct, and signed it.

After National Day, she owned a house but had only a little over ten thousand in savings left. The new house would be handed over by the year-end, but for the renovation, she’d have to wait until her living expenses and channel fees came in after the New Year.

She actually wanted to look at commercial properties for storefronts, but unfortunately, the asking price starts at 40,000, and the money she had could buy a small one, which didn’t make much difference, or a large one, which she couldn’t afford, so she had to give it up.
