Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 102 Can I Go Back to School?

Shen Qingqing was very satisfied with the result.

Seeing Chen Manyu's eager eyes, she didn't hesitate to congratulate him: "Brother Manyu! Congratulations! You got full marks for everything!"

The expectant expression on Chen Manyu's face slowly turned into a smile of surprise.

"I'm not lying to you, am I? I'm definitely going to give you some content that you'll already know!" Shen Qingqing said with a smile.

Chen Manyu nodded several times like a chick pecking at rice, then as if remembering something, he asked cautiously, "Sister Qingqing, can you give me a score?"

Shen Qingqing readily agreed, took out a red pen from her bag, and began to grade him.

Chen Manyu looked at the red check marks on the entire test paper, and finally saw Shen Qingqing write a bright red 100% on the top of the test paper. He took his test paper from Shen Qingqing with some excitement.

He touched the 100 points and felt very satisfied: "I will take it back to show my grandparents, they will definitely be very happy!"

As he spoke, he seemed to recall something, and said with some nostalgia: "Before, I brought home a perfect score on the test paper at school, and my parents and grandparents were very happy, but then I couldn't go to school anymore..."

Shen Qingqing's mind moved, and an idea flashed through her mind, which she kept in her heart.

"Brother Manyu, you can tell your grandparents that the words on this test paper are all fifth-grade words, and you have learned them all!" Shen Qingqing put away her pen and put it in her bag, speaking to Chen Manyu in a praising tone.

Chen Manyu still remembers that he could no longer go to school after the fourth grade. He didn't expect that he has now learned all the characters for the fifth grade.

Seeing his satisfied look, Shen Qingqing struck while the iron was hot and said, "Brother Manyu, we have finished learning the characters and words. Next we should learn the text. Do you want to learn?"

Chen Manyu suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Qingqing eagerly, "Can I go to school now?"

Shen Qingqing smiled and shook her head, "Not yet, but I can teach you, do you want to learn?"

Hearing Shen Qingqing's denial, Chen Manyu lowered his eyes in disappointment. However, after hearing the second half of Shen Qingqing's words, he nodded repeatedly and said, "I want to learn! I want to learn!"

"Okay, don't worry! I will definitely teach you!" Shen Qingqing raised her little finger in front of Chen Manyu.

Chen Manyu immediately stretched out his little finger and hooked it around Shen Qingqing's.

Two voices, one high and one low, joined together: "We'll make a promise to each other for a hundred years, no change!"

After returning home in the evening, Chen Manyu really took out the test paper written by Shen Qingqing and showed it to Li Huifen and the other old couple. He told Li Huifen what Shen Qingqing had said, showing off that he could also learn the knowledge of the fifth grade.

Li Huifen held the obviously handwritten test paper and listened to her grandson's words. Tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't criticize Chen Manyu, but instead followed his words and praised him like she did six years ago, before he got sick...

The seven-day May Day holiday passed in a flash, and on the last day of the May Day holiday, Li Xunli and Li Xunjin finally created a piece of work that both of them were very satisfied with.

The ratio of clay and glaze, as well as the temperature required for firing, have all been recorded. After that, Li Xunli and Li Xunjin specially reproduced it once more. After confirming that the work was even more perfect because of the higher proficiency the second time, they determined the firing time of the tea tray and decorations on the spot with Uncle Wu Zu.

Because the son of the fifth ancestor worked as a porcelain master in a large porcelain factory, the final firing location was decided to be at Li Xunli's porcelain kiln.

As a master chef, the fifth ancestor's son did not have to stay in the porcelain factory all the time. He could leave as long as he finished the part he was responsible for.

So Li Xunjin went to pick him up at the time agreed upon by Wu Zubo's son. As experienced a master chef as he was, after only two attempts of trial and error, he successfully concocted the materials for making a tea tray that was perfectly suited to the decoration.

While they were busy with the most important task of firing porcelain, Shen Qingqing also returned to school after school.

During the break, Shen Qingqing went upstairs alone to the teacher's office to find her homeroom teacher, Chen Zesong.

Chen Zesong was originally making tea in the office. When he saw Shen Qingqing appear at the office door, he thought she had something to do and hurried over to her. "Qingqing? What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Shen Qingqing looked up at Chen Zesong and asked, "Teacher, I just want to ask one thing. Does our school allow students who have dropped out of school for many years due to illness to return to school?"

Chen Zesong was surprised that she would ask this question, but he answered her anyway: "Yes, our primary school is a public primary school, and we will accept students who have dropped out of school due to illness. If your original student record is in our school, you should be able to resume your studies after checking. However, if your original student record is not in our school, or your student record is lost, you must first deal with the student record issue before you can return to school."

After answering, Chen Zesong asked his doubts: "Why do you think of asking this question?"

Shen Qingqing did not hide anything and told her about Chen Manyu's situation.

Chen Zesong thought for a moment and said, "I'll check the school's academic affairs system to see if there's any information about this student. If there is, and if he recovers well, our school can let him return to school."

"If not, you should ask him which school he went to, and then talk to that school."

"I'll check it out for you later and tell you when I'm done."

Shen Qingqing looked at Chen Zesong gratefully: "Okay! Thank you, teacher!"

"You're welcome! Okay, let's go to class!" Chen Zesong waved his hand.

I waited until school was over to get this news.

Shen Qingqing thought there would be no news. When she packed her schoolbag and went home with Chen Man, Chen Zesong came down from the stairs.

Seeing that Shen Qingqing hadn't left yet, he called her and said, "Qingqing, I've checked what you asked me this morning. There's actually a student named Chen Manyu who fits your description. The file records that both his parents are deceased, and he dropped out of school because a high fever affected his intellectual development, right?"

Shen Qingqing nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"

Chen Zesong nodded in understanding and asked, "So his intelligence has returned to normal now, right?"

Shen Qingqing paused, but still didn't hide it: "Teacher, he hasn't recovered to normal, but his intelligence is just growing slowly, not stopping. He doesn't have any obvious intellectual disability."

Chen Zesong looked thoughtful. "You can't prove it just by saying that. If he can come back and take a test or something, and pass it, then there's no problem."

Shen Qingqing nodded: "Then I will go back and ask him. If he is willing, I will bring him to school."

"Okay, so be it!"

"goodbye teacher!"

"Goodbye."

　See you tomorrow night~
