Becoming a top streamer is not accidental

Zhao Yilin didn't catch up with Wang Ping, so she simply gave up and booked another room next door. As the year was coming to an end, most of the crews were on vacation, so the rooms were very spacious.

After getting the room card, Zhao Yilin planned to take her family out for dinner first. They must be starving after coming from afar. Zhao Lifei was very happy when he heard that they were going to eat. "Let's go, let's go, I'm starving."

Seeing his daughter, Zhao Jianquan also felt hungry, and the family went to eat happily. Zhao Yilin usually stayed in the crew when filming, so she was not very familiar with this area. But Wang Ping ran away again, and she didn't want to trouble him with her personal matters, so she had to eat in the hotel restaurant.

After opening a small private room, the family sat around the table and immediately felt reunited. Zhao Jianquan recalled the desolate road he had seen when he first came here, and felt sorry for his daughter.

"Yilin, do you usually work in a place like this?"

Zhao Yilin knew what her father meant, and didn't dare to say that there were places with worse conditions. "Yeah, what's wrong? I think it's pretty good."

Gao Wenfang muttered quietly: "What's the difference between this place and our village? There are just a few more hotels, but no decent shopping malls. Isn't it inconvenient to buy things?"

Zhao Yilin handed them the menu and said, "We are originally from the countryside, so we can just think of it as working in the village. Here is the menu, just order whatever you want."

Zhao Lifei was immediately attracted by the menu and kept asking questions while holding it, "Sister, what is this ant climbing a tree? Do you want to eat ants?"

Zhao Yilin was amused, "Fried vermicelli with minced meat." When she first came out of the village, she didn't know these things. After seeing more outside, she gradually understood them. For ordinary rural children like them, there are many things outside that they have never seen except what is taught in textbooks. Even what is taught in textbooks is sometimes just heard.

Although Zhao Jianquan was better off than ordinary farmers, he realized the gap between himself and the city dwellers after this long journey. He lowered his eyelids to take the menu handed over by his daughter, but found that Zhao Yilin had a lot of chilblains on her hands, and many places were red and swollen.

"Yilin, why do you have so many chilblains on your hands?"

Zhao Yilin quickly hid her hand, not wanting others to see it. "It's okay, it just grew longer while filming." This drama has many summer scenes, and we often filmed in the open air in short sleeves and short skirts at 1 or 2 degrees Celsius. That's it.

Zhao Jianquan took his daughter's hand and took a closer look. He saw frostbite not only on her palm but also on her arm. He almost burst into tears. "How could she be so cold? Wouldn't she catch a cold?"

Zhao Yilin smiled as hard as she could. "I put hot packs on the places that can't be seen, so I won't catch a cold. There's nothing I can do about the places that are exposed to the outside. I can only leave it like that. It's okay. I bought frostbite cream. Every night before going to bed, I apply hot water and then frostbite cream. It's not too serious. It doesn't itch or hurt. It will disappear naturally when the temperature rises."

Zhao Jianquan asked again: "Are you still playing the same roles as you did at the beginning?" He almost regretted telling his daughter about the extras.

"It's still just a minor role. As you said, if you want to become a real star, you have to start from being a minor role."

"You've been running for two years, how much longer do you plan to run?"

"Ten years, isn't it? It takes ten years to sharpen a sword. If I still can't sharpen this sword in ten years, then I'll give up."

The dishes that were ordered were served one after another. Zhao Lifei started eating immediately, and Zhao Yilin also invited the family to eat together. Zhao Jianquan was the most educated person in the family, and the family members all assumed that he had the most say. The family members listened to the conversation between the father and daughter silently, knowing that they were discussing an important matter.

"Dad, if I fail, will you accept it?"

"Yes. No matter what the outcome, Dad will always be your strong support. But Yilin, these ten years you mentioned are the most precious ten years for a girl. Can you afford to take the risk?"

Zhao Yilin certainly understood what her father meant. In the countryside, girls of her age should have been talking about marriage a long time ago. If she delayed for ten years and missed the best age for marriage, she would have to bear the consequences herself.

"Dad, if I fail and come home in disgrace, you won't say to me: Get lost, you are not my daughter, you have embarrassed me. I can afford the gamble. Besides, even if I go back now, how much better can I be than Zhao Miaomiao?"

Zhao Jianquan was completely stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning and could not move. He sighed in his heart, it is true! In the minds of most rural people, the most precious asset of girls is their uterus. This deep-rooted idea has led people to have a narrow understanding of the value of women.

Zhao Jianquan knew this very well, but he felt helpless. He knew that he was different and had a more open mind, believing that everyone should have equal rights and opportunities, regardless of gender. However, it was simply a pipe dream for him to change this widespread prejudice and discrimination by his own strength.

He thought of the girls in the village who were the same age as Zhao Yilin. Perhaps because of family pressure or social expectations, they were forced to pin their future on marriage and childbearing, while their real dreams, talents and potential were ignored and suppressed, if they had any dreams at all.

Zhao Jianquan clenched his fists, and a strong sense of mission surged in his heart. He knew that in order to break this situation, more people needed to wake up and take action. But at the same time, he was also clearly aware that this road was full of difficulties and challenges. Now that his daughter has chosen this path, should he be happy or worried? No matter what, he is willing to support her to try, and at most he will support her for the rest of her life.

With his mind made up, Zhao Jianquan said to his daughter firmly: "Don't worry, mom and dad will always support you."

Zhao Lifei, who was eating, also said incoherently: "Sister, I will always support you!"

Zhao Yilin's eyes were filled with tears. "Thank you, Dad. I believe that hard work will pay off, and I will not be in vain."

Zhao Jianquan nodded and said, "Well, Dad believes in you, but the premise is that you must protect yourself. The body is the capital of revolution, so you must take care of yourself." Now he is no longer worried that his daughter will go astray. He is only worried that she will work so hard that she will exhaust herself.

Zhao Yilin promised: "I will." Unfortunately, later on, she failed to keep her promise.
