Chapter 64 Birthday



"You're actually looking at a senior high school textbook?"

A voice of disbelief came from the side.

Shen Qianqian stopped writing, looked up blankly, and saw Chen Mengshu, the class's academic representative, standing next to her at some point.

Is it strange to look at a senior high school textbook?

She was particularly impressed by this classmate, Chen, who was the second-place student who closely followed her in the joint entrance examination. Chen was an exceptionally positive and motivated student with an extraordinary passion for learning.

Upon learning that she was the top scorer in the Nanxian Junior High School Entrance Examination, he regarded her as a rival and found her three days after the start of the school year, delivering a baffling "challenge declaration".

At this moment, Chen Mengshu was tilting her head, carefully examining the book on her desk, her eyes wide open.

Round, utterly shocking, as if saying—

"Oh! You've been secretly studying behind my back!" "Why is your progress so different from mine?"

Different standards? Are you even human?

Shen Qianqian didn't mind. She moved her hands to the side, neatly revealing the book in the middle for her to see.

"Hmm, they're in their final year of high school. What's up?" Hmm?

Uh-huh?

She's still...?

Chen Mengshu almost choked on her breath, her expression serious and earnest: "I admit you're a little smarter than me, but you're only a freshman in high school, it's only been a short time since the semester started, don't you think reading senior-level books is... too fast? You, you've only just started high school!"

In response to her intense reaction, Shen Qianqian casually dropped another bombshell.

"I started reading this during the summer vacation. I've finished several textbooks. Do you need it? I can lend it to you. I also received a few notebooks from the first year of high school, which you can borrow as well, but you have to return them after you've finished reading them."

No, she didn't come here to borrow anything!

Chen Mengshu's first reaction was to refuse, but her eyes glanced at the notebook... well, she was indeed quite tempted.

He gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, ran back to his seat, and reached into the drawer, searching everywhere. He took out a few...

sugar.

Chen Mengshu placed the candy on Shen Qianqian's table and raised her chin slightly.

"Don't worry, I won't lend you anything for nothing. These candies are from Shanghai, my dad brought them back. You can have them all, but I need to borrow the notes you mentioned for a couple more days."

Shen Qianqian looked at the few candies on the table and could vaguely make out that they were from a famous food brand from later generations. Then she looked at the little girl, who was staring at the candies with a reluctant expression.

Shen Qianqian pulled the candy into her drawer.

The light in Chen Mengshu's eyes shattered.

Ha ha.

Shen Qianqian took the candy out of the drawer again, keeping only one and pushing the rest back to Chen Mengshu.

“I’ll get the notes for you when I go back for vacation. I’ll just take one of these candies; how could I take away your father’s deep love for his daughter?”

Chen Mengshu was immediately moved to tears, deeply feeling that the other person was a person of true feelings. She grabbed the candy back and patted her chest to assure him.

"From now on, you're my friend. If you need anything, you can come to me."

Shen Qianqian: "......"

How can there be one-sided friend requests?

Unexpectedly, Chen Mengshu meant it when she said she wanted to be friends.

As soon as get out of class ended, Chen Mengshu would come over and ask her if she needed to go to the bathroom. In addition, she would often ask her questions. This weekend, she even invited her to her birthday party.

"This weekend?" Are they that close?

"Yes, I told my parents you were coming. They even planned to prepare a more elaborate meal, something they only do for holidays!"

When did I say I was going?

However, seeing the expectant look on the other person's face, Shen Qianqian felt too embarrassed to refuse.

"I have something to do on Saturday, I'm only free in the afternoon. Give me your address, I'll come to you then. Please tell your aunt and uncle not to bother you."

Chen Mengshu gave the address.

Shen Qianqian took a deep breath. This is like a flood washing away the Dragon King's temple!

Chen Mengshu lived in the cadre building, and Xu Guangzong's family lived in the cadre building.

It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Chen have pretty good jobs.

What should I send as a gift?

This was Shen Qianqian's first time attending a classmate's birthday party, and she didn't know how to give a gift. After all, in her previous life, when there were happy occasions at business partners, her assistant always arranged everything for her.

Shen Qianqian racked her brains and finally came up with the most suitable thing!

The idea of ​​opening a factory sparked a wave of enthusiasm in both communes. The factory's recruitment drive caused an even bigger sensation.

The Yu family even talked about this at the dinner table.

"I heard this factory is a textile factory that specializes in making bags and selling them to people in big cities. They make a lot of money from it."

Grandma Fang couldn't hide her envy: "They said the factory is only hiring 25 people right now, and only women. There are age restrictions too, like 18 to 50 years old. Sigh, if I weren't too old, I might have been able to get an interview."

“Hey, second son, why don’t you give it a try? If you get hired, it’ll be twenty-five yuan a month. The work isn’t heavy, and you get off work at five every day. If you can make it back, you can even do some field work. Tsk tsk, that’s really great. It’s like a windfall. Otherwise, they would have already hired everyone.”

Grandma Fang looked at her second daughter-in-law, waiting for her reaction.

Wan Yindi remained silent, his expression dark and gloomy, clearly unhappy.

My mother-in-law is so biased. The eldest son's family works at the commune's coal brick factory, why doesn't she suggest that they go work in the fields after get off work?

Let her do it! Is she born to be a laborer? "Second son's wife, why aren't you saying anything?"

Grandma Fang tapped her chopsticks on the rim of her bowl. The sound deepened. She glared at her.

Feng Xiang, the eldest daughter-in-law, chimed in, "Yes, this is such a good job. If I weren't working at the coal brick factory right now, I would be happy to go."

Wan Yindi couldn't stand her acting like she was getting a good deal but was still being smug.

"If you really want to go, there's a way. Just leave the coal brick factory, and I'll give you a job. Then you can go to the Dongxing factory for an interview."

Dream on!

Feng Xiang sneered. If it weren't for the thought that the other party would actually go to work in the factory and earn money that would go into the old lady's pocket, she would not have been able to swallow this insult. Didn't the other party even think about her status and dare to covet her work position?

"Are you unhappy about this?"

Old Mrs. Fang's eyelids drooped, and she asked a question that was neither here nor there.

Wan Yindi didn't look at her, but stared at the food in her bowl. Her eyes would glaze over whenever she saw her mother-in-law. It was better if she didn't look at her, at least then she could speak clearly.

"Mom, you can let me go if you want, but let me make this clear first: if I really get into Dongxing Factory, I'll get 25 yuan a month, and I'll have to keep 5 yuan of it myself."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Fang slammed her hand on the table in anger.

"You've gone too far, Wan Yindi! You want to split up the family property? Go outside and see which elders are still alive and whose wives manage the money!"

"Your father-in-law and I aren't dead yet!"

She grabbed her chopsticks and blocked her second son's path, crying out, "Your wife is bullying your old mother, and you don't even say a word? You're so unfilial!"

Yu Jianshan's dark face showed a troubled expression as he grabbed his wife with his large hand, trying to make her behave.

point.

Little did he know that Wan Yindi was annoyed by his frustrated appearance!

Just use his hand

"Why are you stopping me? Am I wrong?"

"I don't believe that every penny of the thirty yuan Feng Xiang earned working at the factory was saved by Mom."

"In my pocket! Oh, my sister-in-law can keep it, why can't I?"
