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

Chapter 41 Full score into the semi-finals
After buying the book, Chen Yanfeng suggested that they have dinner outside before returning, but Li Xunli was still thinking about the porcelain kiln, so she could only politely decline.

Chen Man really wanted to play with Shen Qingqing, so Chen Yanfeng had to drop his daughter off at Shen's house and went back home, picking her up before dinner.

When Shen Rongzhou came back in the evening, he brought back two pieces of good news.

"I've already passed the driving test. My instructor said I just need to wait for my license to be mailed home," Shen Rongzhou said, his face flushed with excitement. "Boss Zhang knows I've passed the test, so he told me to start driving with the experienced drivers from tomorrow!"

"First, take short trips to nearby cities to familiarize yourself with the road conditions and routes. Once you get your driver's license, you can officially start driving a sports car."

"He also told me that I thought it would take two months to complete the driver's license test, but because I finished ahead of schedule, I will be given an additional 800 yuan in salary for the half month of following the truck and unloading the goods. From next month when I get my driver's license, I can start receiving the official monthly salary of 3,000 yuan!"

"That's great!" Shen Qingqing and Li Xunli laughed at the same time.

Shen Rongzhou's job has finally stabilized.

In the past two months, the family's income and expenditure have fluctuated abnormally. Li Xunli, who has control over the family's total finances, worries about the savings every night.

This good news finally made her feel relieved.

Shen Qingqing was even happier because her father had a new, stable job with a good salary, which meant that half of the tragedy in his previous life had been avoided!

This wonderful change made Shen Qingqing jump into the classroom every time she went to school on Monday.

During the break, she was called to the Chinese teacher's office, and she saw two of the four senior students who went to Yanqi Primary School for a competition last Saturday.

I had a guess in my mind that these three should be the ones who will advance to the semi-finals in the first round.

Sure enough, the Chinese teacher confirmed Shen Qingqing's guess.

When the two sixth-grade students heard that Shen Qingqing had entered the semi-finals with full marks, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

There are two of them, one is ninety-five and the other is ninety-three.

According to the rules of the temporary competition group formed by 18 schools, those who score more than 90 points can enter the semi-finals.

The Chinese teacher patted Shen Qingqing's head in surprise and relief: "Qingqing, I didn't expect you to be the dark horse of our school!"

The primary school that Shen Qingqing attends is called Wangling Primary School. Among the 18 primary schools that have places to participate in the competition, it is considered a lower-middle school.

The teaching staff and teaching resources are far inferior to those of Yanqi Primary School that participated in the competition last week.

This time, Yanqi Primary School has a full quota of five students with full marks.

The Chinese teacher also wanted to try his best to make up the five places for their school. He remembered what Shen Qingqing said during the home visit, so he added her place.

Because of this, he even had an argument with Chen Songli, the head teacher of the Chinese language group and the principal of their school.

However, they didn't expect that Shen Qingqing's competition results gave them such a big surprise. Even Chen Songli put on a stern face and shook hands with the Chinese teacher after he knew it.

Shen Qingqing smiled slightly and asked calmly, "Then, teacher, when is the rematch?"

"The rematch will be at the end of the month, and the testing site will still be Yanqi Elementary School. All three matches from the first round will be held there." The Chinese teacher's expression softened as she faced Shen Qingqing. "Here are some supplementary materials for the rematch. Take them home and familiarize yourself with them." The Chinese teacher, feeling relieved, picked up three freshly printed copies from her desk and gave each of them one.

Chen Man saw Shen Qingqing coming back with something and quietly asked her what she had been doing in the office.

Shen Qingqing told her that she had passed the preliminary round of the competition, and unsurprisingly, she was greeted with Chen Man's affection and super straight praise.

People are almost praising Shen Qingqing as the most outstanding writer in the world.

When Shen Qingqing heard the bell ringing for class, she was still thinking, no wonder everyone likes to hear nice words, this is so nice!

It was almost time for dinner in the evening, but Shen Qingqing hadn't seen her father or mother come back yet. She frowned and called her mother to ask.

"Oh, I forgot! Your dad called back in the afternoon and said that he would be back late in the evening. The car he took today left late. You should leave some clean food for your dad in the rice cooker to keep it warm. Mom will bring Yangyang back now!" Li Xunli finished her explanation in a few words and hung up the phone.

After Shen Qingqing left dinner for her father, Li Xunli brought Shen Yangyang back.

As soon as he entered the room, he coaxed Shen Qingqing and said sorry to her. Only then did Shen Qingqing's gloomy face finally turn bright.

While eating, we finally shared the good news that we had entered the semi-finals.

"Really? That's great! Those books were not bought in vain!" Li Xunli was delighted when she heard that.

Shen Qingqing took a bite of the chicken leg and shook her head. Of course, she was sure that she could enter the semi-finals before she dared to ask her mother for so many books!

Otherwise, her mother would have to read all those books from the time she bought them home until the end of the semester!
After dinner, because Shen Rongzhou had not returned yet and Li Xunli had to go back to the porcelain kiln to work, the task of washing the dishes fell to Shen Qingqing. However, Shen Yangyang stepped on a stool and wanted to secretly play with water nearby, so Shen Qingqing grabbed her hand and taught her how to wash dishes from beginning to end.

Then he left the kitchen honestly and unilaterally stopped playing with Shen Qingqing.

But it was useless. After Shen Qingqing washed the dishes, she grabbed Shen Yangyang and took a bath together. As soon as they finished bathing, Shen Yangyang's temper was flushed into the floor drain along with the bath water, and she started to follow Shen Qingqing and call her "Sister, Sister" again.

After Shen Qingqing dealt with the troublemaker Shen Yangyang, she sat down at the desk and looked through the new information.

Compared to the materials in the preliminary round, the depth of the content in the semi-final has increased.

Unlike the preliminary round, where the content was simply to memorize the author's country, or some things where you could directly see the written answers, the review materials for the rematch added some understanding content.

But for Shen Qingqing, it was not a big problem. It was just that some slightly confused details in her later memories were corrected at this time.

That night, Shen Qingqing read and studied until she went to bed, and she didn't wait for Shen Rongzhou to come back. When she woke up the next day, she found that it was her mother who was making breakfast.

After washing up, she came out and sat at the dining table. She tore up some fried dough sticks and put them into the soy milk. She asked her mother, "Mom, didn't Dad come home last night?"

Li Xunli was busy tying Shen Yangyang's hair. Without even looking up, she said, "He came back, but he got up and left again after only a few hours of sleep. He said he had to catch two buses today, so he could catch the earlier one and come back early in the evening."

Shen Qingqing watched her mother tie Shen Yangyang's hair into two ponytails, then took a bite of a dry fried dough stick. "Mom, if Dad is so busy right now, won't you be late if you take Yangyang to school before going to the factory?"
