Mr. Chen teaches math and is the grade leader for this year's first-year high school students. He compiled this set of test papers after all the other teachers had prepared them, and he had the correct answers on hand.

As Chen looked through Jiang Xiaoli's test paper, he was increasingly surprised. Correct, correct, and correct again!

Full marks! Chen wrote a big 100 next to Jiang Xiaoli's name at the top of the page.

He tugged at the female teacher's sleeve, "Zhao'er, look!"

Chen stood up and stared at the other candidates. Zhao Jiawei looked at the 100 points at the top of the paper and was pleasantly surprised.

This set of test papers not only includes knowledge learned in junior high school, but also covers some content from the first year of senior high school, so it is still quite challenging for most students.

The teachers in the teaching and research group probably never imagined that a student would finish the entire test paper in just 45 minutes and get a perfect score!

Zhao Jiawei and Chen Zhe exchanged glances, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

The two have been partners for many years, but they have never been able to mentor a student who got into Tsinghua or Peking University, which has always been their regret.

Every year when new students enroll, they immediately search for students with potential, but today's student is the most amazing one.

Judging from the student's speed and accuracy in answering the questions, this test paper cannot accurately reflect her true level.

The two of them felt wonderful all of a sudden, and their gazes towards the other examinees in the classroom softened.

Jiang Xiaoli left the classroom and went straight home. She arrived home at 10:20.

Li Guizhi was startled to see her daughter return so early. "Xiaoli, weren't you taking an exam? Why are you back so early? What happened?"

Jiang Xiaoli quickly reassured her mother, "It's okay, it's okay, I just finished and handed in my paper early."

Li Guizhi slapped her on the back, "You finished early and didn't check it? How many points did you lose in exams because of carelessness?"

Jiang Xiaoli winced in pain. Thinking back, she realized that she really was a careless person in her past life.

She smiled ingratiatingly, "Mom! I promise! I definitely didn't let my guard down this time!"

Seeing that everyone had returned, Li Guizhi knew there was no point in arguing with her anymore, so she had no choice but to give up.

"You better not be careless! Otherwise, you just wait!"

Seeing that the crisis was over, Jiang Xiaoli moved a small stool to sit in front of the stove and looked at the steamer. "Mom, how many kilograms of spicy strips did you order today?"

Li Guizhi flipped through the ledger, a hint of joy appearing on her face, "380 jin today!"

After saying that, she looked troubled again, "Oh dear, I really don't know what to do now that I'm at work?"

Jiang Xiaoli's eyes darted around. "Mom, your factory allows employees to apply for unpaid leave now, why don't you apply for one?"

"Leave without pay..."

Li Guizhi thought for a moment, then clapped her hands and said, "Okay! I'll go to the factory to apply this afternoon! It won't delay tomorrow's shipment!"

Jiang Xiaoli beamed with joy at her mother's decisive actions.

In the two weeks since her rebirth, her mother has changed a lot.

If this had happened two weeks ago, anyone who dared to suggest that her mother take a leave of absence without pay would have been tempted to tear down her ancestral graves.

Li Guizhi felt uncomfortable under her gaze. "What are you looking at? Can't you let your mother have some backbone?"

Jiang Xiaoli replied with a smile, "Of course I can! I just think Mom is so amazing now!"

"Stop flattering me. You watch the steamer, I'm going to mix the spicy strips." Li Guizhi was embarrassed by the praise.

The mother and daughter worked together, completing the order for 380 jin of spicy strips before lunch. After lunch, they loaded all the spicy strips onto their tricycle and delivered them one by one.

Li Guizhi pushed her tricycle, saying, "This is so much more convenient. I can finish delivering everything in one trip. Yesterday, I had to make three trips to finish delivering everything. It was such a hassle."

Jiang Xiaoli pushed the cart from behind, trying to save her mother some effort. "Hehe, when we have some free time, we'll expand to a few more stores. Our tricycle will have to make several trips each time!"

It took the mother and daughter an hour to deliver the goods, mainly because the shop owners all loved chatting with Jiang Xiaoli, and once they started, they couldn't stop...

Back home, Li Guizhi wiped her face. "Xiao Li, shall I go to the factory and apply for a leave of absence without pay?"

"Go ahead, Mom, if I'm not home when you come back, I'll be going to school to check on the class assignments," Jiang Xiaoli said, encouraging her mother before explaining her whereabouts.

The proctor said that we could go to school at 5 p.m. to see the class assignment results, so Xiao Muyu came to find Jiang Xiaoli at 4 p.m. to go to school.

As soon as she entered, she waved a roast chicken in front of her, hoping that Jiang Xiaoli wouldn't hold it against her for throwing a tantrum a couple of days ago.

Jiang Xiaoli didn't take that matter to heart at all, focusing only on the roast chicken. "I'm very generous, how could I care about such things? The roast chicken is good."

Seeing that she only had eyes for the roast chicken, Xiao Muyu felt that all the words she had prepared all the way were stuck in her stomach, which made her very uncomfortable. She threw the roast chicken at her and started to make a fuss about going to school.

Jiang Xiaoli slumped in the recliner, unwilling to get up. "Why go so early? Are we just standing there without any results?"

Xiao Muyu held onto her hand tightly, saying, "Come on, come on, I want to know if we're in the same class."

She acted as if she couldn't do anything about it, saying, "Fine, fine, for the sake of the roast chicken, I'll go with you."

With a chicken leg in her mouth, Jiang Xiaoli locked the door and walked towards the school with Xiao Muyu.

Quite a few people came to see the results of their class in advance. Before they even reached the school gate, they saw many students of similar age gathered in twos and threes to discuss the results.

Xiao Muyu then remembered to ask, "Xiao Li, how did your exam go?"

Jiang Xiaoli smacked her lips, savoring the taste of the chicken leg. She raised her hand, pinching her thumb and forefinger together. "So, did you get it? How about you?"

Seeing her smug look, Xiao Muyu regretted asking the unnecessary question!

"I think I did okay on the test, except there's one question I'm not sure about. Question 35 is about first-year high school physics. What option did you choose?"

Just as Jiang Xiaoli was about to answer, a clear female voice rang out, "Xiao Muyu, you're so funny. You ask her questions you're unsure about. What's wrong with you?"

The two turned around and saw Yuan Man.

She was Xiao Muyu's best friend. The two lived in the same neighborhood and used to always be together.

She had always been dissatisfied with Jiang Xiaoli. She felt that Jiang Xiaoli always avoided Xiao Muyu, who was such a good person, which made her feel that Jiang Xiaoli was somewhat "ungrateful".

Xiao Muyu went up and took her arm. "Yuan Man, you're here! Xiao Li and I have been studying together lately, and her grades have improved a lot!"

Yuan Man stared wide-eyed at the two of them, her face full of accusation. "You two? Studying together?"

She's going to cause a scene! She's clearly Xiao Muyu's best friend! Hasn't Jiang Xiaoli always been avoiding Xiao Muyu? She just went to her grandmother's house in the next city, what happened?
