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

Chapter 148: Working Hard for a New Home (Two in One)

After Wu Fangyi knew the price, she nodded as usual, as if she was just asking the price politely and had no other intentions.

Shen Qingqing could understand this situation.

The situation at Wu Fangyi's home is probably not what Lin Ziyang said.

Shen Qingqing paused for a moment, "Wait for me, I'll go settle the bill. Manman, you wait here with Sister Fangyi first."

Chen Man nodded while holding the phone, "Okay, go ahead!"

After paying the bill, the clerk followed Chen Yanfeng to move the two computers into the car.

Shen Qingqing and Chen Man exchanged contact information with Wu Fangyi at the door of the store.

In this era where almost everyone has QQ, Wu Fangyi has never revealed to anyone whether she has one or not. However, when others talk about things related to QQ, Wu Fangyi can always keep up the conversation, so everyone in the class tacitly assumes that she has QQ, but just doesn't like to add people she doesn't know.

until today--

"You don't have QQ?" Shen Qingqing's expression looked a little strange.

Wu Fangyi's expression was as calm as ever. She took out a notebook and a pen from her bag and handed them to Shen Qingqing. "Yes, but you can copy your QQ number to me. When I have QQ, I will add you."

Shen Qingqing asked tentatively: "Do you have a cell phone?"

Wu Fangyi shook her head: "No, I don't need it. If I need it in the future, I will buy it."

"Okay." Shen Qingqing didn't say anything else and quickly left her QQ number in the notebook.

When Wu Fangyi was about to take it back, Chen Man immediately said, "I still have me!"

Wu Fangyi handed the notebook to her in a different direction.

Chen Man quickly finished writing and gave it back to her.

"Then I'll go back first. See you in junior high school if we're lucky!" Wu Fangyi raised her hand and waved to Shen Qingqing, then left without looking back.

Shen Qingqing looked at her back and thought with some regret that she probably wouldn't be able to see her again. After all, she was still very confident about going to Anlu Town Experimental Middle School.

Although the results of the entrance examination will not be available until a week later.

After buying a mobile phone, of course you have to apply for a phone card. Shen Qingqing chose a card from a telecom operator, but because Chen Man's family all used China Mobile, in order to access the family short number network, Chen Man had to buy a China Mobile card as well.

When returning home, Shen Qingqing extended an invitation to Chen Man and Chen Yanfeng: "Uncle Chen, Manman, we are moving on the 16th of this month. I would like to invite you to my house for dinner then!"

"Okay, I'll definitely come!" Chen Yanfeng agreed very straightforwardly.

Chen Yanfeng had known about the Shen family's move a long time ago. He first heard it from his wife's uncle, and later his daughter mentioned it at home.

"I'll wait for you at the old house then."

Shen Qingqing was full of anticipation and joy about moving into her new home.

During the period when formaldehyde was being released after the renovation was completed, she would choose things to put in her room whenever she had free time, including desks, stools, bookcases, floor mats, and many other things. So now everything in her room was arranged and completed by her bit by bit.

As for the things in the old house, they will not be thrown away. Some of the things that are still usable will be moved to the new house before the 16th. The rest of the things that can be disposed of will be disposed of, and those that cannot be disposed of will be kept in the old house and covered with dust cloth.

Shen Qingqing pushed open the door, "Shen Yangyang! Come out and help!"

At her feet was a box containing a computer and a monitor, and Shen Qingqing was holding a bag containing a keyboard, mouse, and mouse pad.

Three years later, Shen Yangyang, who had grown a lot taller, ran out of the room with a "click, click" sound. Under the command of Shen Qingqing, she walked into the house holding the box of the monitor.

The host box was moved by Shen Qingqing.

As she closed the door, Shen Qingqing asked, "Shen Yangyang, how did you do on today's test?"

Because Shen Yangyang's birthday is in the second half of the year, she is not old enough for school to start in September this year.

But it just so happened that since they were going to move, Shen Qingqing suggested that Shen Yangyang take the entrance exam for the Experimental Primary School Affiliated to Anlu Town.

Anlu Town Experimental Primary School and Anlu Town Experimental Middle School are both private schools, and they do not have strict requirements on the admission age of students.

Moreover, because the Experimental Primary School is an affiliated primary school of Anlu Town Experimental Middle School, there is one class every year that can go directly to middle school without taking the entrance exam, provided that the grades are good enough.

But this will happen after Shen Yangyang is able to get into the Experimental Primary School.

Shen Yangyang’s top priority now is to get in.

In order to help Shen Yangyang get into the Experimental Primary School, Shen Qingqing specially asked her aunt for some admission examination papers of the Experimental Primary School in previous years.

After combining some ideas for setting questions, he gave Shen Yangyang thirty sets of questions and asked her to do one set a day.

This should be done before the entrance examination for the Experimental Primary School begins in August.

After putting down the monitor box, Shen Yangyang walked into the room as if nothing had happened. "I, I was a little tired, so I took a nap. When you came back, I was just awake and wanted to work seriously..."

This sounded like an excuse, and Shen Qingqing didn't expose her: "Okay, let's go, I'll go back to the room and watch you do it."

When Shen Yangyang heard this, she immediately became anxious: "No, no need! Sister, didn't you just buy a computer? Aren't you going to set it up and use it?"

Shen Qingqing continued to walk towards the room: "It's not needed for now. I'll install it when we move to the new house."

"Then don't you need to check your grades? The test scores from primary school to junior high school, and the test scores for that experimental middle school you went to." Shen Yangyang continued to ask.

"It's not time to check yet. The teacher will call home to inform me when he finds out the results for the transition from primary school to junior high school. The results for Experimental Middle School will be known next week." Shen Qingqing had already walked to the desk in the room and tapped on it with her hand: "Come and take the test."

This desk was previously used by Shen Qingqing. Since the junior high school entrance examination, this desk has been used by Shen Qingqing to help Shen Yangyang do her test papers every day.

Shen Yangyang pursed her lips, slowly walked to the desk chair and sat down, officially starting to work on the test paper on which she only had her name written.

With Shen Qingqing watching from behind, Shen Yangyang didn't dare to slack off for even a second. She didn't use any questions she didn't know as an excuse to rest, instead silently skipping to the next one. She wouldn't return to the skipped questions until she finished the ones she knew. Thanks to Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli's parenting style, as the "empowered" eldest sister, Shen Qingqing had a strong intimidating effect on Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong.

Just as after the second-child policy was implemented in later generations, the question of what to do if two children cannot be treated equally often appeared in many news reports. One of the most popular answers was to give the bowl of water to the eldest child, and he/she will treat it equally for you.

Shen Qingqing didn't have this sense of fairness when she was young. It was not until she grew up and saw the responses and comments to this news that she realized that this was what her parents did.

So in their previous life, after the three children grew up, their relationship remained very close. Even when Shen Qingqing was unemployed, Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong never said a bad word about Shen Qingqing.

Shen Yangyang flipped through the test paper over and over again. When she couldn't do it anymore, she put down her pen, turned her head and said to Shen Qingqing, "Sister, I'm done."

Shen Qingqing reached out and took the test paper, pulled out a red pen from the table, and while correcting Shen Yangyang's test paper, she said, "You can go play for ten minutes. After ten minutes, come back and do the math test."

"Okay!" Shen Yangyang's voice was so loud and clear, completely different from the dejected tone she had used when she said "Done" just now.

After she ran out, Shen Qingqing frowned as she looked at the Chinese test paper done by Shen Yangyang.

In her previous life, Shen Yangyang was slow to learn. When she was learning addition and subtraction in the first grade, she mistook the equal sign for a minus sign, and she could never get any arithmetic problems right.

Her Chinese language test was even worse. There are only four tones in pinyin, and she had no idea who influenced her tone, but she always read the second tone as the third tone. This problem persisted until she entered high school.

It was not until the start of the second semester of her first grade that she lost her Chinese and math books after three days of school. She couldn't find them no matter how hard she looked. In desperation, she borrowed a set of books from a second-grade student. Only then did she seem to finally come back to life. She caught up with the other children, then surpassed them, and then stabilized in the top five in the grade, and finally stabilized in first place.

However, even though Shen Qingqing knew that this was the trajectory of her life, she still couldn't help but feel dizzy at the test she was taking.

Because in her previous life, Shen Yangyang attended the same Wangling Primary School as hers, and Wangling Primary School is a public school. All children of school age who register can enroll.

But it’s different now. She has to take the entrance exam for the Experimental Primary School. If her grades are not high enough for admission, she will have to run back and forth between Anlu Town and Wangling Primary School.

It's okay if her parents are free to pick her up, but if they both have to go on a business trip, it will take an hour to go back and forth. It would be really unfair to her grandfather, who is so old, to drive so long to take Shen Yangyang to school.

Shen Qingqing graded Shen Yangyang's test paper in just a few minutes, and the final score was acceptable, not too worrying.

Shen Qingqing thought about it and felt that a month was still enough time.

"Shen Yangyang, time's up, come in and take the math test!"

Shen Yangyang walked in dejectedly, sat down on the chair like a zombie, and started to work on the math test paper that Shen Qingqing had already given her with empty eyes.

With Shen Qingqing watching over her, Shen Yangyang finished the math test much faster.

After the math test papers were graded, Shen Qingqing finally realized how frustrated her father was in her previous life when he was teaching Shen Yangyang to do her homework.

Shen Qingqing looked at Shen Yangyang's two test papers with a headache. In fact, there was basically not much first-grade stuff on them. At most, there were one or two questions at the back.

Most of them are things that I learned in the last year of kindergarten and preschool.

The questions in the experimental primary school are just a few more questions based on these.

Shen Yangyang attends the same kindergarten as Shen Qingqing, and both the teachers in the senior class and preschool class teach some of this.

Shen Qingqing glanced at Shen Yangyang, who was sitting on the chair and looked up at her from time to time with guilt and fear, sighed, and decided to teach her as the second Chen Manyu.

Shen Qingqing turned over the two test papers over and over again for Shen Yangyang to review, almost using a cramming method to force Shen Yangyang to memorize some fixed things.

After finally finishing the review of the last question, Shen Yangyang slumped down on the desk with a look of despair and an aggrieved expression.

Shen Qingqing, however, gave a heavy blow in return: "Continue tomorrow."

Shen Yangyang cried out "wow" and said, "Why? Can't I just not do it?"

Shen Qingqing looked at her expressionlessly: "You don't have to do it."

Shen Yangyang immediately stopped crying and stared at Shen Qingqing: "Really?"

"If you don't do it, you'll have to live alone in the old house, eat, go to school, take a bath, and do laundry by yourself..."

"no no no!"

Before Shen Qingqing could finish her words, Shen Yangyang started shaking her head like a rattle.

But he couldn't help but feel wronged: "Why?"

"Because we're moving, and our new home is too far from Wangling Primary School, Yangyang, you have to go to the Experimental Primary School, which is closer to our new home. But the Experimental Primary School requires you to pass an exam before you can go. If they don't allow you, you'll have to stay in the old house by yourself."

Shen Qingqing's words were very simple and easy to understand, and Shen Yangyang understood them as well.

She was silent for a while, then she closed her eyes tightly, squeezed out the remaining tears, wiped them away with the back of her hand, and said sullenly, "Okay, I'll study hard. I want to live in a new home."

Shen Yangyang was also taken to see the new house in Yujing Mansion, and she was extremely excited about the fact that she could have a big room of her own.

Even before the house was renovated, I kept asking when I could move in, and I even learned how to count down.

Now she can move in soon, but she still needs the final touch. The little girl is unwilling to give up.

Because they were moving, but there were only two children, Shen Qingqing and Shen Yangyang, at the Shen family, and it could be dangerous if the movers came to their house, so Zhang Mingfang and Li Yuxing came to the Shen family to watch when the movers came to their house during the day.

With grandparents helping with the move, Shen Qingqing focused more on watching Shen Yangyang do the test.

Shen Yangyang was doing the test paper with tears and snot. When reviewing, she always wanted to give up, but was stopped by Shen Qingqing's words, "Do you still want to live in the new house?"

Shen Qingqing didn't use a harsh tone when reviewing Shen Yangyang's situation, but Shen Qingqing's eyebrows and eyes were more like Shen Rongzhou's. She looked a bit fierce when she wasn't smiling, and when her eyes were slightly narrowed, Shen Yangyang's mouth pursed before she could even say a word.

After two days of suffering, on the evening of the 15th, the family moved into their new home.

The excruciating pain that Shen Qingqing had recalled to me on the afternoon of the 15th disappeared the moment I moved into my new home.

Li Yuxing had picked this day out after searching through the calendar. It was a rare occasion to have two good days in a row, one for moving into a new house and the other for holding a housewarming party.

Happy April Fools' Day!
See you tomorrow night~
