Chapter 239 Popular Strawberry, Yu's Mother
While saying that it was a waste of money, Zhang Chunyan's wife helped Zhang Wanwan put the things on the table. Because Buddha Jumps Over the Wall had to be frozen in the refrigerator, she quickly took the bag to the kitchen.
Zhang Chunyan had already taken the scissors and was eager to open the box.
When the foam box was opened, Zhang Wanwan found that Zhang's father was really attentive. There was a smaller cardboard box inside the foam box with ice packs placed in the gaps. The strawberries were also placed layer by layer with something padding between them, so there was no need to worry about them being crushed. There were actually not many strawberries in a box, but they were guaranteed to be all good.
Zhang Chunyan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Not bad, not bad, they are grown very well and packaged well!"
Zhang Wanwan urged, "Professor, I'll wash some and give it to you to try."
"I'll do it, you guys just sit and talk!" Zhang Chunyan's wife came out with a basket in her hand, picking strawberries from the box swiftly and praisingly, "So fresh! The color is good. It's very difficult to eat this kind of pure natural and pollution-free fruit in Beijing. You have to go to the suburbs to buy it from farmers. If you buy it in a store in the city, it's hard to tell the real thing from the fake, and it's very expensive!"
As she said this, she took a bowl of strawberries to the kitchen.
Zhang Chunyan laughed and joked, "You came here so early this year because of the exchange meeting!"
Zhang Wanwan gave Zhang Chunyan a thumbs up and said, "Professor, you know me well. Professor, I haven't applied for a visa yet. Is it too late?"
"Well, that's not a problem. Give me the documents and I'll ask the school to help you apply. It will be approved soon. During this time, take a good look at the professional knowledge and practice your spoken English. You will not be yourself again when you go abroad. If you make a fool of yourself, people will talk about the Chinese instead of you. Try to perform well. I'll recommend you again if there is such an opportunity in the future! Haha."
Zhang Chunyan is still quite optimistic about Zhang Wanwan. Selfishness is partly a factor, but more importantly, Zhang Wanwan is the best among this class of freshmen. Not only does she have good grades, she is also a good person and shows sophistication in her dealings with others. Such people are less likely to be stage-frightened when interacting with strangers, and are not likely to make a fool of themselves in big occasions.
In today's society, it's not enough to just have the skills; both emotional intelligence and IQ are essential.
After hearing what Zhang Chunyan said, Zhang Wanwan said angrily, "Okay! I'll try my best. I will find an English teacher to practice speaking in the next month or so."
Their English teacher is also a professor who returned from studying in Australia. He speaks fluent English, has trendy ideas, and likes to communicate with students. However, everyone's spoken English is average, so they are not very interested in this.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Chunyan nodded in satisfaction. Just then, his wife came out with a bowl of strawberries. The two of them stopped talking about business and started stuffing strawberries into their mouths one by one.
Zhang Chunyan praised it, "It's really delicious! It's even better than what I had in the northwest before! I guess the place where it is grown has an impact."
Zhang Wanwan nodded. "My aunt's family lives by the sea, the soil is sandy, and half of the year it is hot and rainy, with plenty of sunshine, so the strawberries grown there taste better!"
Zhang Chunyan agreed and ate a few more pills. Then he said to Zhang Wanwan, "Give me your aunt's contact information. I'll ask my friend to buy some and try them. After all, they developed it in their research institute, so he should have a taste of it too."
"Professor, please give me the other party's address. I will ask my dad to send it over. My aunt and others can't get this." Zhang Wanwan joked.
Zhang Chunyan didn't bother to be polite with her. He edited a message and sent it to her, saying, "Remember to tell the professor how much it costs. After all, it's for others. Who knows, they might even ask your aunt to buy more after they eat it!"
Zhang Wanwan smiled and said nothing, determined not to take Zhang Chunyan's money.
The next day after leaving Zhang Chunyan, Zhang Wanwan brought the materials needed for the visa.
There are still not many people in the school at this time. Most students will not return to school until the 14th or 16th day of the lunar calendar. Now there are only seniors in the school who are about to look for jobs.
Zhang Wanwan thought she would have to stay alone in the empty room for at least a week before someone would come to accompany her. Unexpectedly, Yu Yunfei also came back with a suitcase on the third day after she arrived. Zhang Wanwan was shocked. "Why didn't you stay at home longer?"
Yu Yunfei put down her things breathlessly, took off the burdens on her body and said, "It's because you all came here. I have nothing to do at home, and my mother always orders me around. During the New Year, the people who come to our house are all neighbors, who come to play cards and mahjong. It's noisy and I feel annoyed. I might as well go back to school."
"Didn't your mother let you stay a few more days?" Zhang Wanwan widened her eyes curiously.
Yu Yunfei became even more depressed after hearing this. "She can't even take care of the store, so how can she take care of me? I guess she didn't even listen to me when I told her that I wanted to go back to school!"
Just as she finished speaking, Yu Yunfei's cell phone rang. She took a look, picked up the phone, and turned on the speaker. The loud voice of Yu's mother came from the phone, "Where have you been, you little kid? I haven't seen you all day. Your aunt and the others are here. Come home quickly!"
Yu Yunfei had an expression that said, "I knew it all," and said in a hopeless tone, "Mom, it's hard for you to think of me for something like this! Sorry, I'm at school, you should just entertain them yourself!"
"What? It's only the first few days of the new year and you're back to school? Why didn't you tell me you were going back? How could you do things like this, kid?" Yu's mother scolded him righteously.
Yu Yunfei was furious and yelled, "If you played less cards and listened to me more, you would know that I was back to school today! You didn't listen to me and you said I didn't say anything! Is the card your daughter or am I your daughter? It's incomprehensible!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Yu's mother to answer and threw it on the table angrily.
After a while, the phone rang again. This time, Yu Yunfei didn't even look at it and packed her luggage slowly. The phone rang for a while, but maybe he was sure that Yu Yunfei would not answer it, so he stopped calling.
Zhang Wanwan observed silently for a while, and waited until Yu Yunfei was done before asking awkwardly, "Um. Did you tell my brother when you came back?"
Yu Yunfei shook her head.
Zhang Wanwan's pupils shrank and she exclaimed, "So you took the bus back to school alone? Why didn't you tell my brother?"
Yu Yunfei pursed her lips in grievance and said, "I don't want to trouble him! It's so cold outside in this weather, and he is not only busy with his internship but also his graduation thesis. If I tell him, he will waste half a day again. I don't think it's necessary, but I thought so in my heart and did so. Now I feel a little uncomfortable, wuwuwu."
Zhang Wanwan quickly got out of bed and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Next time if you don't want to trouble my brother, just call me. I'm very free now. I won't feel wronged anymore, I won't feel wronged anymore!"
