Chapter 35 The effect of Lingquan Water, Yan Zeyu helps

Father Zhang went back to sleep. As for Zhang Baiyan, he was no longer worried. He didn't sound like he had fainted from the deafening snoring. It was similar to the couple's situation. He was probably exhausted. It was hot that day, so it would be cooler to sleep on the floor!

Zhang Wanwan was speechless. She was still waiting to go to the toilet to wash up! But Zhang's father obviously didn't have the energy to help her. Zhang Baiyan was sleeping like a dead pig, and he couldn't be shaken. Helplessly, Zhang Wanwan could only roll Zhang Baiyan to the center of the hall like a sandbag. When she looked back, she found that there were some stains left where Zhang Baiyan had rolled. It smelled like sweat, and it was a bit sour and disgusting.

She put her hands on her hips and looked breathlessly at Zhang Baiyan, then at the mess on the floor. She frowned and resigned herself to cleaning up.

While brushing her teeth and washing her face, she was still full of doubts. She was the only one in the family who was fine. The other three were exhausted. They didn't eat anything yesterday and only drank a glass of water from her before going to bed. Thinking of that glass of water, Zhang Wanwan suddenly realized. She remembered that she was so excited yesterday that she seemed to add too much spiritual spring water to the water. Usually, a drop of spiritual spring water had to be diluted into a large bucket of water, but yesterday she only added one drop into a glass. Was the effect too strong?

Zhang Wanwan was full of confusion. After making breakfast, she opened the door of the master bedroom to check on Zhang's father and mother. The snoring of the two inside was no less than that of Zhang Baiyan. Seeing the three people sleeping soundly, Zhang Wanwan felt relieved and resigned herself to her fate. She packed up and went out to set up the stall.

Originally she was a supporting role today, but now she has become the main player.

When Zhang's mother woke up, she was still a little dazed. She looked at the small alarm clock on the bedside table and sat up in shock. She nudged Zhang's father who was still snoring beside her and said, "Dad, wake up quickly, it's already twelve o'clock in the afternoon!"

Father Zhang opened his sleepy eyes and became fully awake after hearing what Mother Zhang said. The couple hurriedly got up, dressed, washed, and rushed out to work, but they were startled by Zhang Baiyan who was sleeping soundly in the living room.

Before they got close to Zhang Baiyan, the unpleasant smell entered their noses.

Mother Zhang frowned in disdain and shouted, "Bai Yan! Get up! Go back to bed!"

Zhang Baiyan woke up slowly after being called twice. Zhang's mother took a step back in disgust, "Go take a shower quickly. I'm almost fainted by the smell of you!"

Zhang Baiyan also smelled the odor on his body at this moment, and he retched repeatedly, but the contents of his stomach had long been defecated, and his stomach was empty, so when he vomited, it was just acid.

Soon there was a sound of water in the bathroom.

Zhang's mother and father saw that there was still porridge in the kitchen, which was obviously cooked for them by Zhang Wanwan in the morning.

After the two of them finished their porridge in a few bites, Zhang's mother urged Zhang's father to take her to Century Square to help Zhang Wanwan.

Along the way, Zhang's mother was a little worried that she would be exhausted today after having diarrhea all night. Unexpectedly, she felt refreshed when she woke up. She felt a lot more relaxed than before, and her whole mental outlook was different.

Mr. Zhang's situation was similar to that of Mrs. Zhang. He was full of energy and seemed to be as unrestrained as a young man in his early twenties. He drove the motorcycle like the wind, causing passers-by to scream and curse.

The two of them arrived at Century Square at the fastest speed, and Zhang's mother shouted, "Girl."

Before she finished speaking, Zhang's mother noticed a strange boy standing next to Zhang Wanwan. He was tall and slender, wearing sportswear, and had a bright smile. Zhang's mother's face changed instantly, and she nervously grabbed Zhang's father's clothes and asked, "Old Zhang, who is that boy?"

Father Zhang used his 5.0 vision to scan the place sharply. His serious expression relaxed immediately and he said with a smile, "That's Wanwan's high school classmate. His name seems to be Yan Zeyu. Like Wanwan, he was admitted to No. 1 Middle School. He often comes here to buy milk tea and is quite supportive. Today, he probably came here to buy milk tea because Wanwan couldn't handle it alone, so he stepped in to help. You know what, this guy is really good, polite and respectful to his elders. He doesn't distance himself from us just because we set up a stall. He's a good guy! Every time he comes here to buy something, I charge him less."

When Zhang's mother saw Zhang's father talking about Yan Zeyu incessantly and obviously admiring him, she had to wait and see. She was unfamiliar with everything here, and since he was Zhang Wanwan's classmate and came to help, she naturally had to be more enthusiastic towards him.

Zhang's mother got off the motorcycle and walked straight towards Zhang Wanwan, "Girl, mom is here!"

Zhang Wanwan was almost dizzy from all the work. When she heard her mother's voice, she looked up suddenly and asked in surprise, "Are you all right?"

Mother Zhang shook her head. "What could it be? I feel so refreshed after a good sleep! I just overslept and left you all busy! Just tell me you need something and I'll come!"

Zhang Wanwan said quickly, "Mom, then you can take over Yan Zeyu's job and help pack the food first. We can't pack all the takeout food. Oh! By the way, let me introduce you. This is my friend Yan Zeyu. He often comes to our place to buy things. Dad knows him too."

Yan Zeyu called out obediently, "Hello, Auntie! I'm Zhang Wanwan's high school classmate, you can just call me Xiaoyu!"

Seeing Yan Zeyu's well-behaved appearance, Zhang's mother immediately put on a loving smile on her face, and asked with concern: "I've troubled you for so long today, you haven't had lunch yet! Tell auntie what you want to eat, and auntie will ask your uncle to buy it for you!"

Yan Zeyu quickly refused, "Auntie, no thanks. I just had some fried chicken and a cup of milk tea. Zhang Wanwan treated me to the meal and didn't charge me. It was a thank you. We're not hungry now, so there's no need to buy anything."

Seeing that Yan Zeyu was so considerate, Zhang's mother liked him even more. In addition, Yan Zeyu taught her how to pack takeout. In less than an hour, Yan Zeyu's status in Zhang's mother's heart rose to the level of a favorite junior. She was as kind to Yan Zeyu as possible.

Zhang's father took over Zhang Wanwan's job. After Zhang's mother became proficient in packing, Zhang Wanwan began to teach her how to fry chicken, how to control the heat, etc. He talked for more than an hour and only stopped when his mouth was dry.

In the following time, Zhang Wanwan and Yan Zeyu were ordered by Zhang's father and mother to rest aside and were not allowed to work again. The two of them had been working hard for the whole morning and naturally would not refuse Zhang's father and mother's kindness. Each of them sat comfortably under the big banyan tree with a cup of ice milk tea, staring blankly at the busy pedestrian street.

Zhang Wanwan turned her head to look at Yan Zeyu and asked curiously, "I've known you for more than a month, but I only know your name and that you will be attending No. 1 Middle School. I know nothing else about you. Are we the most familiar strangers?"

Yan Zeyu choked on his milk tea and started coughing violently. "What do you mean by the most familiar stranger? We are classmates, okay? I didn't tell you before because you didn't ask me. My home is in the community behind Century Plaza, the Shuxiangshijia community. My parents opened a clothing store on the pedestrian street, so I often come to the store here."
