Lin Dongzhe was instantly energized upon hearing that Grandpa Zhang had gotten a television. He eagerly thought about being able to watch Wen Lianbo on time and stay updated with the world. He hurriedly ran to fetch Suzhou, saying, "Grandpa Zhang has a TV now! Let's go quickly; I want to watch the news!" Suzhou, who was already obsessed with movies, thought that perhaps they might come across an interesting film, so she happily agreed to go along. 0
 
As soon as they entered Grandpa Zhang's house, they found it bustling with people gathered around watching South China Storm. The plot was thrilling and full of twists. Suzhou was immediately captivated by the characters on screen, watching them portray their roles with such depth that a small spark of ambition ignited within her to become an actress. She couldn't take her eyes off the screen, completely immersed in the story. Meanwhile, Lin Dongzhe anxiously stared at the clock, waiting for seven o'clock when Wen Lianbo would air. Unfortunately, they arrived just in time to miss it and could only feel frustrated. 0
 
From that day on, Lin Dongzhe went to Grandpa Zhang's house every day without fail, determined not to miss the evening news. However, Suzhou gradually found it less interesting; each day felt like a repeat of the last, and once the novelty wore off, she stopped joining him. Over time, some people at Grandpa Zhang's house grew displeased with Lin Dongzhe's constant presence. They jokingly remarked about his small stature and big appetite, but their teasing stung his pride. His face turned red with embarrassment and anger as he ran home. 0
 
Once at home, Lin Dongzhe sobbed to Song Ying about what had happened. Lin Xiao Yu's cheeks were flushed with excitement as she grabbed her mother's hand and exclaimed with sparkling eyes, "Mom, you have no idea how much magic is hidden in the television! Those movies are like doors to fantastical worlds! Just think about those characters—some wear ancient costumes and wield swords, gallivanting through the martial arts world with such grace; others show compassion and bravery in the face of gunfire or adversity, saving the world in heroic ways! Every time I watch them, I wish I could jump into the screen and go on adventures with them." 0
 
At this point, Lin Xiao Yu paused slightly, her eyes filled with longing as she shook her mother's hand more vigorously. Her voice rose a pitch as her little face beamed with anticipation. "Mom, how wonderful would it be if we had a TV at home? Every day after school, I could dive into those amazing stories! All my study fatigue and little worries would vanish in an instant; it would feel like the whole world became colorful and full of fun! Please promise us!" 0
 
Listening to this, Song Ying furrowed her brow as she pondered for a moment. She secretly resolved to save money for a television so that Lin Dongzhe could watch the news freely and Suzhou could enjoy movies without feeling left out or having to worry about others' opinions. From that day forward, Song Ying began to economize everywhere she could, meticulously planning every expense while focusing on her goal of buying a TV. 0
 
Sunlight poured down at the entrance of Yizhong School where people came and went amid the bustling noise. Teacher Zhuang had just come out of the education bureau, holding exciting news about this year's college entrance exam admissions for Yizhong students. Anxious and hurried, he grabbed Zhuang Tunan and rushed towards Yizhong. 0
 
"Zhuang Tunan! Come quickly; I have a surprise for you!" Teacher Zhuang said urgently, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. 0
 
They soon stood beneath the wall where Yizhong displayed its admission list. The names of prestigious universities like Tongji University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University gleamed in golden letters under the sunlight, surrounded by a crowd of people gasping in admiration. 0
 
Teacher Zhuang's eyes sparkled as he pointed excitedly at those renowned university names. His voice trembled with emotion as he said, "Look at this! In the past, it was a dream for ordinary families like ours to even think about entering such top-tier institutions. But Yizhong students have done it—they opened this door through hard work! If you want to achieve great things, you must strive to get into Yizhong and hone your skills there so that one day you can become an outstanding talent that makes your parents proud!" 0
 
Zhuang Tunan looked up at the admission list with unwavering focus; his breathing quickened as he felt his chest swell with determination. Clenching his fists tightly filled with resolve, he vowed to give his all to get into Yizhong. 0
