Chapter 93 Shadow, Thick Skin
For a moment, the thrifty mother Zhang even wanted to throw away Zhang Baiyan's clothes. In the end, she gritted her teeth and endured it. She had to use a large amount of laundry detergent, washed the clothes twice and then soaked them overnight.
The next day, Zhang Baiyan woke up feeling refreshed and energetic. He greeted Zhang's father and mother brightly, but was met with Zhang's mother's undisguised look of disdain. He was stunned, "Mom, how did I offend you?"
"You still tell me! What happened in the bathroom yesterday? You're going to take the college entrance examination, but instead of reviewing well, what were you doing? You're already a grown-up, but you're still so worrying! Don't think I don't know that you went out to play yesterday. How did your clothes get so smelly? They were so smelly that even the night soil collector would dislike them." Zhang's mother scolded Zhang Baiyan mercilessly.
Zhang Baiyan finally remembered what happened yesterday. He was so ashamed and angry that he screamed, "Zhang Wanwan! Get out here, you damn girl!"
Zhang's father slapped him, "You got yourself into trouble and you want to blame your sister? Look how clean your sister is. Your mom didn't even have to wash her clothes yesterday. She did everything by herself and we don't have to worry about anything!"
"That's right, stop yelling so early in the morning and go back home to study. If you don't do well in the college entrance examination this time, I will break your legs!" Zhang's mother threatened sternly.
Zhang Baiyan really had no one to complain to now. He clearly did nothing. He just ate a meal made by Zhang Wanwan, but he had diarrhea for most of the day and almost fainted, yet he still had to be scolded by his parents. What was going on?
Zhang Wanwan, who was hiding in the room, waited for Zhang's father and mother to go out before quietly opening the door and peeking in. She pushed open Zhang Baiyan's door with a wry smile and saw that he was reading a book. She immediately asked flatteringly, "Brother, my dear brother."
Zhang Baiyan stood still.
Zhang Wanwan didn't give up and called out again, "Brother, what are we going to eat for lunch? I'll make you whatever you want to eat!"
Zhang Baiyan's body suddenly trembled, and he turned back fiercely, glaring at her, gritting his teeth, "Thank you for your kindness, I don't want to die yet!"
Zhang Wanwan pouted in grievance, "Brother, I didn't know your body was so weak that you couldn't even eat those good things! We ate together, and I was fine. What happened yesterday was really an accident. I promise that this kind of thing won't happen again!"
Zhang Baiyan already had a psychological trauma and refused to compromise. The final result was that Zhang Baiyan had to be self-reliant and also have to serve Zhang Wanwan, his little ancestor.
During the days of the college entrance examination, Zhang Wanwan and the others were on holiday. I don’t know if Zhang Baiyan was too lucky, but his examination venue was actually in No. 1 Middle School.
Zhang's parents originally wanted to stay at the stall for a few days and accompany Zhang Boyan to take the exam, but Zhang Boyan refused. Zhang Wanwan stepped forward and said, "Mom and Dad, No. 1 Middle School is my territory. I can just take my brother there, and then accompany him home after he finishes the exam. There will be absolutely no mistakes!"
No. 1 Middle School is not far from home. Zhang's father and mother originally wanted to set an example, but since their children did not agree, they had to give up. After all, the house is being renovated and money is needed everywhere. Stopping for a day or two would be a huge loss for them.
On the day of the exam, Zhang Wanwan boiled a pot of water for Zhang Baiyan early in the morning and added some spiritual spring water to it to refresh his mind. After Zhang Baiyan pulled it hard once, his physical condition improved a lot and he would not get sick easily. However, Zhang Wanwan was still worried and wanted to be prepared.
The brother and sister checked all the examination supplies and made sure there were no problems before going out together.
I thought they arrived early, but I didn't expect that at around 7 o'clock, there was already a large crowd of parents sending their children to school blocking the gate of No. 1 Middle School, and there were several traffic police maintaining order.
In line with the principle of prohibiting noise from affecting the college entrance examination, the surrounding cars dared not honk their horns, and even if the queue was very long, they had to wait patiently for the traffic police's instructions.
Zhang Wanwan was very thankful. "Fortunately, our home is close, so we can get there by bike. If we had taken a car, we would have been stuck in traffic for who knows how long!"
Zhang Baiyan nodded in agreement, parked his bicycle before the examination room gate opened, and found a cool shade under a tree to read.
Zhang Wanwan stayed by his side, checking the time from time to time, and only opened the door when the school bell rang.
"Brother, you can go in now. Remember to bring all your things. I'll wait for you here. Just park your bike here. I'll see that nothing will happen." Zhang Wanwan promised, patting his chest.
Zhang Baiyan was indeed still struggling with the bicycle issue just now. When he heard Zhang Wanwan's words, his face immediately brightened and he nodded to her, saying, "Okay, I'll go in first. Be careful. Stand under the shade of the tree and don't get exposed to the sun. Don't squeeze with others. If you have any problems, find the traffic police or call dad. I'll come to find you after the exam."
"Let's go quickly!" Zhang Wanwan almost pushed him away.
At this moment, the school gate was already crowded with candidates entering to take the exam, and their parents were waving flags and cheering from behind. Some of their relatives and friends had even come, and a group of people suddenly occupied a large area.
Zhang Wanwan looked around boredly. Her phone was fully charged last night, so playing games for two hours wouldn't consume too much battery. Unfortunately, there were only Tetris and Snake on her phone, and there was almost nothing she could play. After fiddling with it for only half an hour, she couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up by holding the tree trunk, stomped her numb legs, and suddenly found a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses walking towards her.
Zhang Wanwan didn’t take it seriously at first, but when the person approached her, she realized that it was actually Zhang Jianguo!
"Wanwan! It's really you! I thought I was seeing things! Are you accompanying your brother here to take the exam?" Zhang Jianguo smiled kindly, just like an elder who cares for the younger generation.
People who don't know the truth will develop a liking for Zhang Jianguo at first sight.
In such a public place, Zhang Wanwan didn't want to say anything more. She pulled the corner of her mouth and reluctantly called out, "Uncle."
Zhang Jianguo didn't seem to notice Zhang Wanwan's resistance and alienation, and said in a familiar manner: "I heard that you got the first place in Pu City in the high school entrance examination. I haven't congratulated you yet. It's been almost a year, and you are going to be a sophomore in high school. How is it? Is studying in high school difficult? How are your grades?"
"Not bad." Zhang Wanwan nodded politely, and her words were concise and polite.
When others heard that Zhang Wanwan was the top scorer in last year's high school entrance examination, they looked at her differently.
Some aunties who accompanied the students to take the exam immediately praised her: "Wow! The girl is the top scorer in last year's high school entrance exam! I can actually see her in person! You said that this top scorer is different, she is so beautiful! She is also good at studying! I really don't know how her parents taught her."
