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

Chapter 36 The Ruyi Knot is favored

The teacher and student picked four meat floss buns, paid the bill and walked back.

I happened to see two students in the same examination room handing in their papers one after another.

Both of them had unhappy expressions, as if they were discussing the answer.

The Chinese teacher walked over and gave each of them a piece of bread. "How did you do with your answers? Have you finished?"

One of the boys scratched his head and said, "I have answered all the questions, but I am not sure about many of them."

The other girl opened the bread, took a bite, and nodded silently.

The Chinese teacher laughed twice and comforted the two: "It's okay, it's okay, just think of it as an experience."

The remaining two students did not follow the crowd out until the end of the competition. Their expressions were relatively calm. Although they did not look confident, they were also faintly proud.

As usual, the Chinese teacher distributed the bread to them and asked the same two questions again.

I got a reply of "It's OK" and "Basically everything".

Now the two students in the same examination room looked even more miserable.

"Okay, everyone's here. You all wait here and don't wander around."

The Chinese teacher asked them to wait there while he went to the office to get the registration certificate.

As soon as the teacher left, several senior students surrounded Shen Qingqing.

"Little sister, why are you participating in the competition in the first grade?"

"Yeah, don't you think it's too difficult?"

Shen Qingqing blinked. "I don't know either. The teacher asked me to come. I think it's not too difficult. I've already finished it."

After the words were spoken, several people smiled because they had all finished it.

But there is a big difference between having done something and knowing how to do it.

Shen Qingqing didn't care about their laughter. After all, they had no ill intentions and a few laughs wouldn't hurt.

"Hey? Little sister, where did you buy this necklace?" The girl who came out first saw the Ruyi knot that Shen Qingqing was wearing, reached out and picked it up and looked at it again and again.

The smile on Shen Qingqing's face instantly became sincere. "This was made by my mother. She knew I was competing today, so she made this for me to wear. But I don't know the price. I have to ask my mother when I get home."

"So this is what your family sells! Besides this, do you have anything else?" The girl nodded in understanding.

Shen Qingqing shook her head: "No, my mother currently accepts custom orders. She makes whatever you want. If you want something like mine, I can give it to you. It will bring you good luck!"

The girl touched the Ruyi knot with her thumb, looking very moved, but still shook her head: "Forget it, forget it, this is made for you by your mother. Wait until you ask her how much it costs, and then I will see if I should buy one from her like this."

Shen Qingqing nodded without saying anything more: "Sure, mine is white. If you want, you can also choose a color you like, or your lucky color!"

"Really? That's great! Be sure to ask your mom when you get home! And by the way, besides the Ruyi knot, can you make a Ruyi buckle? And also one that looks like a jade pendant." The girl suddenly became happy. "On Monday, come find me in the fifth grade. My name is Chen Yurong!"

"Okay! I'll remember that, Sister Yurong!" Shen Qingqing clenched her hands and made an OK sign. The Chinese teacher finally returned with the registration certificate and took the children on the bus back to school.

Shen Qingqing rode her bicycle home from school by herself, and it was already past twelve o'clock when she got home.

Shen Yangyang's meal time was quite punctual, so Shen Rongzhou left some food for Shen Qingqing before dinner and kept it warm in the rice cooker.

"Dad! I'm back!" Shen Qingqing locked the bicycle and opened the door.

"Are you back? How did the competition go? Hurry up and wash your hands and have dinner!" Shen Rongzhou got up and went into the kitchen to serve her food.

Shen Qingqing threw the transparent test paper bag containing the pen on the sofa, ran into the kitchen and washed her hands while saying, "I think it's okay, the results should be pretty good!"

"Really? That's fine! You're only in the first grade, you don't need to compare yourself with those in the senior grades. Just feel that you are good enough!" Shen Rongzhou brought the food to the dining table. Although his words sounded discouraged, they were Shen Rongzhou's true thoughts.

Their family attaches great importance to learning, but they are not the kind of family that only cares about grades.

While eating, Shen Qingqing described to Shen Rongzhou how big and beautiful Yanqi Primary School was, and how different it was from her own primary school.

Shen Rongzhou also thought about his elementary school and told Shen Qingqing that all the elementary schools in his era were made of adobe buildings...

Shen Qingqing was still thinking about talking to her mother about the Ruyi Knot, so when it was almost six o'clock, she grabbed the bicycle keys and wanted to go to the porcelain kiln to find her mother.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw her mother coming back angrily on a bicycle.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Shen Qingqing opened the door and let her mother in, then followed her mother and asked eagerly.

Shen Rongzhou came out of the kitchen and saw his wife's face full of anger. He quickly came out and asked, "What happened?"

"I'm so pissed off today! There are only two production lines left in the factory right now. The line next door is almost finished, making a batch of winter clothes, and today they said they'll merge that batch into ours once they're done."

"No one had any objections originally. So many people had been fired before, and it was already making people feel uneasy. I didn't expect the boss to start causing trouble today."

"Before, he only checked the goods before shipping, and everyone saw what he did. Today, he went crazy for some reason and checked every item in the factory. He scolded everyone, saying we were not working carefully and seriously."

"Deduct all the money you earned today!" Li Xunli was so angry that her face turned red.

After listening to this, Shen Qingqing looked at Shen Rongzhou, and both of their brows wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

"Is there no one in the factory with any objections?" Shen Qingqing asked.

"We had objections, so after he deducted the money, our team refused to accept it. We always come in first place every month, and we've never had any problems with our shipments. So we went to the boss to argue, but he said that he had kept silent before because we had been working there for a long time, but now the consignees are checking more strictly, and they can't indulge us like that anymore!"

"Isn't this an injustice?" Li Xunli could not tolerate being wrongly accused and slandered.

"So you guys just let it go?" Shen Qingqing asked again.

Li Xunli was even more furious. "Of course we refused to settle the bill and asked him to return the money to us. But he turned the tables and said that what we did before was not up to standard. If we really want to settle the bill, we will have to pay him back!"

"Our team leader was so angry that he left on the spot and simply said he would quit."

　See you tomorrow night~
