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

Chapter 24 First Place in the Exam
"I don't know. Xunli and Xunjin made the decision, and I was notified." Zhang Mingfang said helplessly.

This was Shen Qingqing's first time entering a porcelain kiln. As soon as she came in, she discovered that the space inside was much larger than it looked from the outside.

The waterproof membrane on the patio is not completely sealed, but a movable one that can be loosened.

There are two kilns in the porcelain kiln, but their shapes are slightly different. Shen Qingqing didn't understand, so she went to ask Zhang Mingfang.

Although Zhang Mingfang had no experience in porcelain firing, she had worked with her father-in-law for a few years and knew some basic things.

After explaining the differences between the two kilns to Shen Qingqing, he didn't continue talking because he didn't understand any more.

After looking at the entire porcelain kiln, Zhang Mingyang asked, "What kind of circuit should be installed? Just a simple light source, or should it be able to be plugged in and out?"

"It can be charged and plugged in!" Shen Qingqing said loudly.

Her mother might have to work in this porcelain kiln for a long time in the future, so of course she has to do a good job.

"That may take two or three days. Qingqing, go back and explain it to your mother." Zhang Mingyang answered casually, then chose a spot and started to work.

In her previous life, Shen Qingqing was a homebody who only knew how to stay at home and never go out. Of course, it was also because she looked too incompetent, so her parents were worried and didn't let her go out.

So after being reborn, Shen Qingqing really found everything new.

Yesterday we repaired the porcelain kiln and the gate, and today we repaired the electrical circuits.

Then Zhang Mingyang worked hard all day, but he only determined the direction of the circuit in the porcelain kiln.

When he was about to leave in the evening, Shen Qingqing invited him to her home for dinner.

"No, no, the meal is ready at home." Zhang Mingyang left without looking back, and the motorcycle took off directly.

Shen Yangyang looked at her uncle who quickly disappeared from her sight, tugged at Shen Qingqing's hand and asked, "Why are you so anxious, uncle?"

Shen Qingqing couldn't answer, because in her previous life, her uncle was also so impetuous and always refused to stay for dinner.

But when a call is made for him to help, he always arrives quickly.

When Shen Qingqing returned home in the evening, she told Li Xunli the working hours that her uncle had mentioned.

Li Xunli calculated the time it would take to make the sample and nodded to indicate that she understood.

"I'm going to school tomorrow. Who will go with my uncle?" Shen Qingqing asked again.

After going around in circles, the problem is back to where it started.

Finally, Li Xunli had to compromise: "When you go to pick up Xiaohong later, tell your grandfather."

Shen Qingqing was eating while thinking that it would not be long before grandma found out.

But this is no longer Shen Qingqing's business, because the results of the last Chinese test are out.

As soon as the morning reading is over, the first class is Chinese class.

After the exams, the kids had a weekend of fun and had almost forgotten about it, but they didn't expect to be teased on the first day of school on Monday.

Shen Qingqing didn't feel anything at all, but her deskmate Chen Man was so nervous that the hand that was holding Shen Qingqing's arm was shaking slightly.

"Qingqing...how do you think I'll do in this exam?" Chen Man asked Shen Qingqing pitifully, not at all the high-spirited spirit she had been after taking the exam last Wednesday.

"You'll do very well in the exam." Shen Qingqing affirmed.

As the person who reviewed with Chen Man, she was also the one who took this test. Ninety percent of the questions on the test were the ones she had reviewed with Chen Man, and the remaining ten percent were also in the textbook.

The first-grade exams definitely wouldn't be that difficult; they would mostly focus on reviewing and consolidating the pinyin words already learned. "Ah, even if you say that, I'm still panicking!" Chen Man switched from one hand to two, grabbing Shen Qingqing's arm and shaking it.

It's no wonder she was so nervous. There were still preschool classes at that time, so there would be an entrance exam when she entered elementary school. Chen Man didn't do well in that exam and was scolded when she got home.

Then Shen Qingqing often heard Chen Man complain every now and then that Uncle Chen liked to scold her every time he saw circles and crosses on her homework.

Shen Qingqing had no choice but to change her approach to comfort her: "Then how about this, if you don't do well on the test, you can tell your dad that you are going to my house to review my test paper, and then you can stay until it's almost bedtime before going back. That way, when you get home, you can take a shower and go to bed, and you won't be scolded."

Chen Man's eyes lit up: "This is good!"

Then I heard the Chinese teacher say from the podium, "After school this Wednesday, I will visit every student's home and tell your parents about your studies. Go back and tell your parents, and try to be at home on Wednesday afternoon or evening."

The Chinese teacher is also their homeroom teacher.

After hearing this, Chen Man's eyes dimmed.

"Next, I'll call your name and you come up to get the test paper."

"First place, Shen Qingqing."

Shen Qingqing was not surprised at all, this was what she deserved as a reborn person!

Chen Man didn't know. The look in Chen Man's eyes when she looked at Shen Qingqing was full of admiration.

On the way Shen Qingqing went up to take the test paper, she received countless admiring glances from children.

As soon as he got to his seat, Chen Man took the test paper and whispered, "One hundred points, Qingqing! You're amazing!"

The small group sitting around them immediately became agitated. Everyone wanted to see Shen Qingqing's test paper from all directions. If there wasn't a wall on the right, they would probably have wanted to see it too.

Just as they were passing around Shen Qingqing's test paper, the teacher on the podium called out Chen Man's name: "Sixth place, Chen Man."

Chen Man suddenly turned her head to look at Shen Qingqing, her mouth wide open.

Shen Qingqing was amused by her reaction and pushed her: "Go get it quickly."

Chen Man seemed to have just reacted. She rushed to the podium and ran back.

"Ninety-six! I got ninety-six! Sixth place!" Chen Man excitedly grabbed Shen Qingqing's arm and started shaking again, "We can buy a Barbie doll family portrait now!"

This good news kept Chen Man in a good mood for the whole day.

She even asked Shen Qingqing to go to her house for dinner after school because she got a perfect score in the exam and she wanted to share in the good news.

Of course Shen Qingqing didn't agree, she still had to go home to cook.

When she refused, Chen Man dragged her arm and begged her until they reached Chen Yanfeng's car, but she still couldn't shake Shen Qingqing's decision.

"Dad!" Chen Man saw Chen Yanfeng get out of the car and happily rushed over to show off, "I got 96 points on the Chinese test last Wednesday, which put me in sixth place!"

"Qingqing scored 100 points! First place!"

Chen Yanfeng caught his daughter who was rushing towards him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He really didn't expect that his daughter really was going to study at the Shen family when she said she wanted to. After all, how could he not understand his own daughter?
He procrastinates when doing homework at home, and his accuracy in completing homework is also worrying. When he takes the exam at the beginning of the school year, he only scores 70 or 80 points.

I didn’t expect that I could make such great progress after playing with Shen Qingqing!

Chen Yanfeng's gaze towards Shen Qingqing became softer.

"Dad! Can I choose the reward for doing well in the exam this time?" Chen Man didn't pay attention to her father's psychological changes. She was only thinking about buying a Barbie doll family portrait for herself and Shen Qingqing.

　See you tomorrow night~
