Chapter 37: Full of energy and a promising future
When Zhang Wanwan turned around, the man opened his eyes and looked at her.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Wanwan came down from the stands, or perhaps both sides had fought enough, in any case, as soon as Zhang Wanwan came over, they stopped. Tian Sen and Yan Zeyu were the most seriously injured, while the others were better off, with at most one or two bruises on their faces.
When Zhang Wanwan saw Yan Zeyu's face, she felt an inexplicable anger in her heart. She didn't say a word on the way back and didn't even pay attention to Yan Zeyu.
Yan Zeyu didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't tease Zhang Wanwan on purpose. He sent Zhang Wanwan to the honor community before he said embarrassedly: "I wanted to take you out to relax today, but I didn't expect to let you watch us fight. Next time, I promise that I will never let those bastards appear in front of you, I promise!"
Zhang Wanwan sighed helplessly and said nothing. Seeing Yan Zeyu's miserable appearance, she hesitated and said, "I think you should go to the clinic to get it treated. Your parents will definitely be anxious and angry if they see your pig-headed face. They don't like you in the first place, and I'm afraid they will dislike you even more in the future!"
Seeing that Zhang Wanwan was still joking with him, Yan Zeyu felt relieved and grinned, but he pulled the wound on his face and his whole face twisted like a clown, making Zhang Wanwan feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
When Zhang Wanwan returned home, she found that Zhang Boyan had actually cleaned the house. Not only had he mopped the floor, washed the clothes, but he had also prepared meals. Zhang Wanwan was so scared that she rushed into Zhang Boyan's room and saw him reading a book. She immediately asked, "Brother! Are you possessed? Why are you so diligent? Are you okay?"
Zhang Baiyan shook his head with a smile as bright as spring breeze on his face. "I found that my mind was clearer than ever after I woke up. Many of the difficulties that had troubled me before suddenly became clear, so I quickly did housework and read books, and also wrote a few papers. You know, there is no summer vacation for the graduating class. It's said to be a vacation of more than ten days, but in fact it's just for us to study in a different place. I have wasted several days. If I don't study now, it will be too late!"
Zhang Wanwan nodded seriously. "In that case, you should study hard. Our home is quiet anyway, and no one will disturb you when you study at home. As for my affairs, you don't need to bother me. There is nothing I can't get around in Pu City. I can prepare the things my parents ask me to buy myself."
Zhang Baiyan hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Zhang Wanwan insisted, he had no choice but to accept it.
That night, Zhang Wanwan and her brother took a shower and sat in the living room waiting for their father and mother to come back.
As soon as Zhang's mother came in, she hummed a little tune, and her brisk footsteps showed how happy she was.
The two men's backs straightened unconsciously.
When Zhang's mother saw the brother and sister, she immediately came over and touched their heads as she passed by them. Zhang Baiyan was horrified, and Zhang Wanwan was confused. In her memory, her mother was a steady and reserved middle-aged woman. Even if she loved them, she would not show it too obviously. It seemed that this kind of head-touching treatment was only given to them before they were ten years old.
The two of them looked at each other, their eyes full of silent questions.
Zhang's mother ignored their little tricks. When she saw Zhang's father go to the toilet, she excitedly took out her bag and said mysteriously to her two children: "Help me to calculate the accounts quickly. I feel like I've made a fortune today!"
Zhang Wanwan: “.”
"Mom, we've been running this fried chicken stand for a long time. I know how much we make. The difference between the milk tea stand and the sales won't be that big. Why are you so happy? It's like you found money."
"This is different! You earned it before, but today I earned it by myself! It's different, it's different." Zhang's mother retorted loudly.
Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Baiyan had no choice but to help her with the accounting. The three of them buried their heads in the pile of change on the table and worked hard. Zhang's father had already taken a quick shower, changed into a set of refreshing pajamas and stood on the balcony, sighing comfortably, "It's great to live here! The natural wind is more useful than a fan!"
"Dad! It's quite effective. It messed up the change I just sorted out!" Zhang Wanwan complained.
When Zhang's father looked back, he saw his wife and children staring at him. He was so scared that he quickly closed the floor-to-ceiling window and ran over to help settle the bill.
After working for nearly half an hour, she finally counted the change. Zhang's mother asked with full energy, "Girl, how much change did you put in your bag today?"
"one thousand."
Zhang's mother muttered to herself, "The total amount here is 6,900 yuan. Minus your 1,000 yuan, today's turnover is 5,900 yuan. After deducting the cost, the net profit is several thousand yuan! My God! Working for two or three days is equivalent to my salary for a month of hard work!"
Seeing Zhang's mother looking distracted, Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Baiyan smiled at each other. As long as their parents are happy and full of hope for life, they will feel less stressed.
At this moment, Zhang's mother had already thrown herself on the money, becoming so excited that she was incoherent.
Father Zhang was calm, "We will have this much income every day in the future. Even if the weather is bad, we can still get takeout. It won't be much less. Just wait for a good life!"
Mother Zhang nodded vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes. She suddenly stood up and said to Father Zhang, "I thought about it. If possible, we should save money to buy a house first and buy a good house for the children. I didn't dare to think about it before. Even if I knew that the girl was making money by setting up a stall, I didn't dare to really think about it. At most, I just wanted to satisfy my desire. But now it's different! Look, we make two to three thousand in profit a day. The money we earn in two days can buy one square meter in a good community. As long as we work hard for 200 days, we can buy a 100-square-meter apartment. I calculated that the house issue can be settled before Bai Yan's college entrance examination next year. It happens that we rent this house for a year, and then we will move to the new house when the lease expires. What do you think?"
Zhang Wanwan fully agreed with buying a house. If she remembered correctly, the housing prices in Pu City started to soar in 2008, from four or five thousand yuan per square meter at the beginning of the year to six or seven thousand yuan per square meter at the end of the year, and it has been rising ever since. Before her rebirth, the housing prices in Pu City were about eighteen thousand yuan per square meter in the urban area and twelve thousand yuan per square meter in the suburbs, which was completely disproportionate to the per capita income here. It was almost impossible for an office worker who earned two or three thousand yuan a month to buy a house unless he had support from his family.
"Mom, if you have money, use it all to buy a house in the future. Don't worry about anything else. Just think of it as an investment. I heard from classmates in our class that the real estate market will boom in the next few years, and houses will become more and more expensive. Anyway, money will die in the bank, so you might as well buy a house. Even if you don't live in it, you can sell it later and cash it in." Zhang Wanwan deceived.
Zhang's mother agreed without thinking twice. It was not because she was far-sighted, but because the couple had been in debt because of the house issue for years and had never been able to hold their heads up high among their relatives. Now that they had money, they still wanted to buy houses. In the final analysis, it was a bit of a revengeful consumption mentality.
