Rebirth: I Have a Spiritual Spring

Chapter 15 High School Entrance Examination, Two Months of Summer Vacation

In the next week, Zhang Wanwan never left her room except for eating, drinking, and having sex. Although Zhang's father and Zhang's mother didn't say a word, they silently cooked a lot of delicious food for her, and they moved very lightly, so as not to disturb her. She studies.

The week passed very quickly. The day before the exam, Father Zhang came into her room specially and asked, "Have you brought all the things including your admission ticket? Do you want to check it again?"

In order to reassure Zhang's father, Zhang Wanwan took out the transparent plastic bag and showed Zhang's father everything inside before putting it away. "Dad, don't worry. I will definitely take the exam well this time and make sure everything is safe."

Father Zhang stopped worrying about it. Early the next morning, after Zhang Wanwan finished eating, Father Zhang also followed her out. Only then did Zhang Wanwan know that Father Zhang was going to send her to the examination room. This unfamiliar scene made her stunned for a moment. She had never seen this in her previous life. She was taking the high school entrance examination, so she didn't know what would happen this time, but having her father to pick her up and drop her off really made her feel at ease. Her father's shoulder was always the best to rely on.

When the father and daughter arrived at the examination room, there were already many parents accompanying them outside. On a hot day, people could only be seen in shaded areas.

Zhang's father originally wanted to stay and wait for Zhang Wanwan to finish the exam, but Zhang Wanwan drove him away. She was not really an ignorant teenage girl, so how could she delay Zhang's father's business.

After Zhang's father left, Zhang Wanwan immediately went to look at the layout of the examination room and became familiar with the location of the toilets. She read some English compositions before the bell rang to enter the examination room.

As soon as the exam bell rang, all the candidates rushed forward. The first exam was Chinese. For Zhang Wanwan, Chinese was not a problem at all. She finished the paper half an hour before the exam and checked it twice. She didn't even miss the details. She didn't raise her hand to hand in the paper until the invigilator reminded her that there were still five minutes left before handing in the paper. She took advantage of the fact that there were few people outside and left first, so as not to crowd in with everyone else.

The 2006 exam was not as strict as it was in a few years ago. The guard had to wait until everyone handed in their papers before letting them go. Zhang Wanwan left the exam room and walked home along the sidewalk. It was still early at this time. She walked back for almost forty minutes and ate. You can also take a lunch break after eating.

Zhang's father came back at noon and learned that Zhang Wanwan had walked back by himself. He was very upset and made up his mind to pick up and drop off the whole journey. Seeing Zhang's father insisting, Zhang Wanwan no longer refused.

The three-day high school entrance examination passed quickly. After finishing the last subject, Zhang Wanwan walked out of the examination room and felt that today's sunset was particularly bright. Zhang's father waved to her outside the school gate, and Zhang Wanwan immediately ran over.

"The exam is over! You can have fun in the next two months!" Zhang's father did not ask Zhang Wanwan if she did well in the exam, but told her that she could have fun for two months without any worries.

Zhang Wanwan narrowed her eyes happily, sat behind Zhang's father, and said to Zhang's father: "Dad, I don't want to play these two months. Our teacher said that we can work-study. Some people in the class have gone to work during the summer to make money."

Father Zhang frowned, not very happy, "You are still young, what can you do to make money? How tiring it is to hand out leaflets in this weather! You can even tan your fair and fair face to a black charcoal, and work as a waiter in a restaurant. It’s not easy, you have to stand all the time, and you can’t make two bucks, so you might as well go play!”

What Father Zhang said was the reality of student workers today. When you work as a waiter in a restaurant, you have to stand for ten hours a day and take two days off a month. It only costs more than 900 yuan a month. If you hand out flyers, it costs 56 yuan an hour. You can earn at most 3 yuan a day. Thirty or forty yuan, it’s tiring and hard work, and the rewards are seriously out of proportion to the effort.

Zhang Wanwan had already made a plan and continued: "Dad, I don't want to hand out flyers or be a waiter. I want to set up a stall selling milk tea in Century Square. You know that milk tea is very popular now. Students like it. Set up a stall." It doesn’t require much capital. I still have some pocket money that I have saved over the years. It’s a way to experience life. I may not make much money, but I will definitely study harder after I realize that life is not easy.”

Zhang's father choked. This reason was so strong that he couldn't refute it. After holding it in for a long time, he turned his back to Zhang Wanwan and replied, "We'll talk about this later."

Zhang Wanwan grinned. The fact that Father Zhang didn't refuse directly meant that there was a high probability that it would work.

The two returned to the community. Grandma Huang downstairs was coming out to pour water. When she saw Zhang Wanwan smiling brightly, her old face also turned into a flower, "Is this the exam? It's the last day! You can play now!" "

Zhang Wanwan nodded obediently and called for someone. Father Zhang and Grandma Huang greeted her twice before leading Zhang Wanwan home. In the corridor, the father and daughter met Wang Chunhua who was coming downstairs, but Zhang Wanwan ignored her. Zhang's father regarded himself as a man and usually didn't talk too much to the women. He just nodded and smiled and passed by.

Wang Chunhua rolled her eyes and almost rolled her eyes to the sky. She snorted and ignored Father Zhang.

Zhang Wanwan's mood turned from sunny to cloudy, "Dad, just ignore that woman when you see her from now on, you're crazy!"

"Wan Wan! Don't say such nonsense. If she hears this, you'll start to quarrel again." Zhang's father looked helpless. He opened the door and quickly urged Zhang Wanwan to go in and quickly closed the door.

Seeing Father Zhang's cautious look, Zhang Wanwan felt even more breathless.

Father Zhang didn't mention Wang Chunhua again. He immediately washed vegetables and cooked meals as soon as he entered the door, and asked Zhang Wanwan to watch TV.

Zhang Wanwan went back to the room, took out the plan he had written before, and revised it. The serious look on his face made Father Zhang really confused. How could he still work so hard after he had already passed the high school entrance examination? Isn't this kid stupid because of reading?

Until Zhang's mother came back, Zhang Wanwan was still writing and drawing in the room.

Zhang's mother cast a questioning look at Zhang's father, who shrugged and shouted: "Girl, it's time to eat!"

"Just come!"

As she spoke, Zhang Wanwan came out with her plan and handed it directly to Zhang's father, "Dad, this is my summer vacation plan. Take a look."

Father Zhang was at a loss as he held the plan, "No, no, your mother doesn't know yet! I didn't agree, so why did you get the plan out?"

Although Zhang's mother was illiterate, she understood the general idea after listening for a while, and sneered: "Your daughter has planned this for a long time, and she is waiting for us here! Your mother is illiterate, so I can read this plan and so on. If you don’t understand, just tell me what you want to do.”

"Mom! I just like your happy temper!" Zhang Wanwan gave Zhang's mother a thumbs up and led her to the dining table, "Mom, that's what I think. I have nothing to do for two months during the summer vacation. Our family I’m short of money, so I want to experience the hardship of making money.”

"Do you want to work as a summer job? Distributing flyers or waiting?" Zhang's mother asked calmly.

Zhang Wanwan was furious and stamped her feet: "Why do you think you are either handing out flyers or serving as a waiter?"

"What do you want to do if you don't hand out flyers and become a waiter? You are a minor, and I don't dare to ask you for a serious job!" Mother Zhang's eyes were filled with naked disgust, which almost made Zhang Wanwan vomit blood.
