This humble Taoist priest wants to take the college entrance exam.

Chapter 225 Chen Shi'an, I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic.

Today's classes were all about reviewing the midterm exam papers.

After Mr. Liang and Mr. Ye had their fun, now Mr. Zhang and the science teachers are also having a good time.

Teachers Lao Liang, Ye, and Zhang are genuinely happy, after all, Chen Shi'an is first in his grade in all three major subjects.

The science teachers were a little less satisfied. Although Chen Shi'an's total science score was the same as Lin Mengqiu's, which was first in the grade, he did not get first place in any of the individual subjects.

Science is a very magical subject. There are many people who get first place in a single subject, but getting first place in two subjects doubles the difficulty. As for getting first place in three subjects, at least for now, no one in Class 5 has been able to do it. Even Lin Mengqiu only gets first place in a single subject occasionally, but when all three subjects are combined, she is quite formidable.

To get first place, you basically need to get full marks in each subject. The three science subjects are also the area where students who specialize in one subject are most rampant.

Sometimes, the top scorer in the combined science subject isn't even in Class 5, but in the top-performing class below...

Some people have such outstanding individual planks that they are outrageous, but their shortcomings are... not worth mentioning.

Of course, considering that Chen Shi'an only started studying science subjects last month, his score of over 280 points across the three subjects, and the fact that the questions were quite difficult this time, has already left the science teachers speechless.

Especially the physics teacher, who remembers that Chen Shi'an only got 4 points on the physics test last time... This time he got 94 out of 100, what more could he ask for!
When reviewing the exam papers, all the teachers mentioned one thing:
"Was this difficult? Hmm? Some students improved by 90 points, but some students even regressed."

"..."

Oh, Taoist Master! This time, one person's enlightenment has caused chaos among the entire clan!

The usually peaceful Class 5 has been thrown into chaos by Chen Shi'an's arrival. Apart from Lin Mengqiu losing first place, the atmosphere of studying in the class has become visibly tense...

……

During the afternoon class meeting, Mr. Liang gave a long-winded summary of the midterm exams and then formally informed everyone that there would be a parent-teacher meeting this Sunday.

Before evening self-study started, Qiu Yufu came over with a form to register with Lin Mengqiu and Chen Shian.

"Parent-Teacher Meeting Attendance Registration Form?"

Chen Shi'an picked up the form and looked at it. Many students had already registered. The form included information such as the visiting parents' relationship and contact number. The last column was for attendance, which should be filled in when signing in on the day of the parent-teacher meeting.

"Hmm, Chen Shi'an, do you have someone coming over to help you attend the parent-teacher conference? If so, just fill out the information here."

Qiu Yufu stopped talking, having heard that Chen Shi'an had no relatives or friends, and quickly changed her words.

Fortunately, seeing that Chen Shi'an didn't seem to mind at all, the vice class monitor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little guilty, thinking that he was really awful for bringing up such a sensitive topic...

"some."

"Eh?"

Hearing Chen Shi'an say this, Qiu Yufu was stunned, as were Zheng Yining and Xie Mengxuan, who had turned around to listen to the two talking.

"Can I ask my roommate to come to the parent-teacher meeting? I've already mentioned it to Teacher Liang."

"Oh! Sure, sure! Just tell Teacher Liang!" Qiu Yufu nodded.

"Is she the pretty girl who gave us milk tea at the last school sports meet?" Zheng Yining and Xie Mengxuan asked curiously.

"Yes, she happened to be free, so we asked her to come over."

"That's so kind of you! That older sister even came to help you with your parent-teacher conference!"

"Waaah... I want to go outside and find someone to attend my parent-teacher conference for me. I did so badly on the test this time, I'm too ashamed to tell my mom and dad..."

Chen Shi'an smiled upon hearing this: "It's not that bad, it's not like I'll deduct your allowance."

"Ow..."

Zheng Yining and Xie Mengxuan screamed even louder.

Chen Shi'an: "..."

Without keeping Qiu Yufu waiting long, Chen Shi'an uncapped his pen and filled in Wan Yin's information on the form.

[Li Wanyin]
[Relationship: Older sister]
[Contact number: 1890812...]
Lin Mengqiu, who was quietly working on her problem, stopped writing and tilted her head to take a curious look.

She was stunned to see that the stinky Taoist priest had written down Sister Wanyin's phone number fluently without even thinking.

Even though you have a good memory... could you please not remember a girl's phone number so clearly?

That's right, she hasn't given Chen Shi'an her phone number yet.

After all, with the internet so developed now, people mostly communicate through WeChat, and classmates and friends rarely exchange phone numbers. Even in her own address book, there are only two contact numbers.

One belongs to my dad;
Another one is Chen Shi'an.

Yes, although the stinky Taoist priest didn't have her phone number, she had the stinky Taoist priest's phone number.

It was when Chen Shi'an proactively added her on WeChat that he told her the name. Although the purpose was to add her on WeChat, the girl still secretly remembered it.

Soon, Chen Shi'an finished writing and handed the form back to Qiu Yufu.

Qiu Yufu took the form and handed it to Lin Mengqiu.

"Then class monitor, you should fill it out too."

"Ah."

Lin Mengqiu, needless to say, wrote down her father's information.

The girl was very filial. She not only remembered her father's birthday, but also his phone number. When writing down his contact number, she did so almost without thinking, just like Chen Shi'an.

"By the way, class monitor, are you free this Sunday? If it's convenient for you, how about the two of us take care of registration and reception for this parent-teacher conference?"

"can."

Lin Mengqiu nodded.

Chen Shi'an, standing to the side, asked curiously, "Do we have help with hospitality?"

Qiu Yufu didn't respond, but Lin Mengqiu spoke up:
"Yes, we need some classmates to help with registration, pouring tea, and escorting parents in. Would you like to come?"

"Sure, I've got nothing else to do anyway, so I'll come and help out."

"Then Yu Fu, you can count him in..." "Yeah, Chen Shi'an, I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic!"

The class monitor rolled his eyes. "That stinky Taoist is so enthusiastic! He's just like participating in fun events at the school sports meet—he just likes to join in the fun and have some fun!"
The bell rang for evening self-study, and Qiu Yufu returned home after completing her task.

Chen Shi'an also took out the science practice book that Lin Mengqiu had borrowed from him.

Just as he was about to start playing, a small hand reached out from the side, back of the hand facing up, paused on his desk for a moment, and then after the hand left, a crumpled little piece of paper appeared on the desk.

"What is this? Did the class monitor throw trash here?"

"XXX!"

What nonsense! What do you mean by "trash"?!
Chen Shi'an picked up the crumpled piece of paper and unfolded it, revealing an eleven-digit number.

"...Phone number? Whose is it, class monitor? Yours?"

"Okay, I'll save it for you."

"Okay, I remember."

"~~~"

Seeing that Chen Shi'an put the note away without making any move to 'write down the number', Lin Mengqiu still asked in a low voice, somewhat uneasy:

"Did you really remember it...?"

"Hmm, 18...right?"

"it is good……"

Seeing that he had truly memorized it, and even kept it in his heart, the girl was very satisfied. Only then did she turn her gaze away and prepare to continue concentrating on her work.

"By the way, class monitor, should you write down my number too?"

"Need not."

"Ok."

Chen Shi'an started doing the problems.

After a while, Lin Mengqiu came to her senses. Not sure if the stinky Taoist priest had misunderstood, she tapped Chen Shi'an's arm, which was lying across her side, with the pen and added:

"I have."

"...Did the class monitor write down my number?"

"Yeah, the time I added you on WeChat..."

"Oh, so the class monitor not only added me on WeChat, but also secretly wrote down my phone number."

"..."

Too lazy to pay attention to him.

The class monitor went to focus on doing the problems.

……

As we enter the middle of the semester, time seems to fly by.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and it's Saturday again, the last day of school.

Considering that most parents drive to the school, the school has arranged for the parent-teacher meetings to be held at different times. Taking advantage of the fact that the first-year high school students do not have classes on Saturday, the parent-teacher meeting for the first-year high school students was held first this morning.

During recess, Chen Shi'an and the boys in his class would gather around the balcony to gossip about the parent-teacher meeting next door.

……

This week is also Li Wanyin's last week of work.

Yesterday, Friday, Li Wanyin completed her work handover and officially resigned from the company.

I was originally thinking of treating my colleagues to a meal before I left, but then I thought better of it. I'd rather save the money for that meal and buy Shi'an a new outfit, or have a nice meal for the two siblings...

After leaving her company, Li Wanyin now runs a full-time milk tea stall.

The biggest difference between full-time and part-time work is perhaps that you have more freedom in your time and can arrange it yourself.

But at the same time, it also puts people's willpower to the test. After all, there's no clocking in, and no one is supervising when you're slacking off. Many people couldn't stick to it for more than a few days before they ended up sleeping in and not being able to get up...

However, Li Wanyin was different. Her older sister possessed exceptional willpower and self-discipline; even though she no longer needed to work, she still created a strict 'work schedule' for herself.

Monday to Saturday: I get up at six o'clock every morning, then prepare the ingredients and do the preparatory work. I set up my stall at ten o'clock and then stay until nine-thirty at night.
Then on Sunday... well, Shi An also has a day off over the weekend.

After working hard for six days, isn't it reasonable to reward yourself with a day off?
Absolutely not! Not at all! Too much!
With that in mind, Li Wanyin felt at ease about taking a day off on Sunday.

Of course, she didn't dare to rest too much, since Shi'an had to go to evening self-study on Sunday night. So, after resting for a day, she should probably continue to set up her stall for a few hours on Sunday night...

That's roughly how the work and rest schedule is arranged.

Li Wanyin has carefully calculated that, with her business booming and without considering the possibility of working herself to death, she can sell an average of more than 200 cups of milk tea every day.

Based on this calculation, the monthly income could reach more than 50,000 yuan, and Shi An could also earn a net profit of 6,000 to 7,000 yuan.

With such an income target in front of me, why bother going to work!
Let's do it! We'll do it even if it kills us!
Help Shi An earn more money so he'll think his sister is very capable!
If it were anyone else who had just resigned, they would at least take a couple of days off to reward themselves, but Li Wanyin did not.

She had just resigned yesterday, and this morning she got up early to prepare ingredients and start setting up her stall. However, she didn't set up her stall too early this morning; instead, she went to the market to buy groceries and cook.

Last time I heard Shi'an say that Zhizhi and Mengqiu had brought him food.

The three of them had classes today, and since she was 'free,' the older sister cooked some food and brought it to school for her troublesome younger siblings.

Busy!

Li Wanyin had a strange feeling that she was always so busy worrying about the affairs of such a large family...
