CHAPTER 1170: CHAPTER 1171: THE SISTER OF THE LOVE-STRUCK BROTHER 13
On the last day of exams, Zhang Yu went home to have a good rest. The high school entrance exam wasn’t hard; the hard part was calculating the scores.
Luckily, these calculating days were finally about to come to an end, or else it would have been a breakdown waiting to happen.
Liang Yan walked briskly to the parking lot and got into Zhang Dong’s car, "Today is the last exam day, I wonder how our son did."
She really wanted to ask earlier, but she held back, worried about affecting her son’s mood.
Zhang Dong was curious too, after some tutoring, Zhang Hao’s grades had improved a lot.
But getting into high school was still quite a gap, hopefully this time he could just make it.
As for Zhang Yu, Zhang Dong never worried. Even if this girl had slipped, her grades were still stable.
Getting into a high school was steady, they just didn’t know which one she could get into, which Zhang Dong was really looking forward to.
The couple went to the market, bought a ton of groceries, and rushed home. Feeling the cool air when they got home, they knew Zhang Yu was already back.
Liang Yan didn’t care about Zhang Yu, she dashed straight to Zhang Hao’s room, only to find it empty.
What’s going on, the boy hadn’t come back? Liang Yan was stunned, then rushed to the small cubicle, and regardless of whether she was asleep, called her up.
"Where did your brother go?" Liang Yan asked anxiously.
Zhang Yu was helpless too, "We weren’t in the same exam room, how would I know?"
"Why don’t you care about your brother." Liang Yan unceremoniously slapped Zhang Yu a few times.
"Why is it my fault again, didn’t you say it’s good for boys to run around outside?"
"If you’re anxious, why don’t you call him?"
Zhang Yu rolled her eyes unkindly.
Seeing Zhang Yu roll her eyes, Liang Yan got angry, "How dare you roll your eyes at me."
"Why don’t you say you’re disturbing my rest, didn’t you always boast about being a college student with connections?" Anyway, the relationship is already strained, doesn’t matter how much worse it gets.
Liang Yan was infuriated by Zhang Yu’s attitude, "Zhang Yu, how can you talk like that?"
"Go, make dinner." Anyway, the exam is over, "You’re having a holiday too, you’re in charge of household chores."
Thinking that she could finally get rid of the tedious housework, Liang Yan was in a very good mood.
Zhang Yu wasn’t surprised either, as the labor expert of the family, doing chores was a necessary skill.
"Okay." Zhang Yu agreed readily, "Just don’t know what the standard is."
"And my cooking isn’t great, I’m still a baby, mom. If you and brother say my cooking isn’t tasty, I can only wash the vegetables and wait for you to cook when you come back."
"I see brother quite likes your cooking." Zhang Yu didn’t hesitate to set expectations straight.
In any case, if they want to eat her cooking like before but keep nagging that it doesn’t taste good, Zhang Yu absolutely wouldn’t indulge that.
Liang Yan pursed her lips, knowing Zhang Yu wasn’t bluffing, she could only sigh helplessly, "I know, I know."
"Mom, you cook today. I know you’re specially feeding Zhang Hao." Zhang Yu had noticed plenty of ingredients in the kitchen, clearly meant for Zhang Hao.
Since it was Liang Yan’s expression of love, she should make it herself.
"Mom, I’ve been taking exams for three days, I’m tired." She was really tired and needed to rest.
After all, the high school entrance exam wasn’t an easy thing, definitely couldn’t let Liang Yan think the exams were easy.
Liang Yan initially thought she could relax today, but didn’t expect she’d still have to work.
Liang Yan was unhappy, really unhappy, wanting to force Zhang Yu into the kitchen, but seeing Zhang Dong beside her, she gave up the idea.
"How did it go?" Zhang Dong asked with concern.
"Not bad, if there are no accidents, I can get into First High, just won’t be at the top." Zhang Yu said, feeling guilty.
This made Zhang Dong very happy. Zhang Yu’s grades had been slipping lately, which had scared him, worrying what if Zhang Yu didn’t make it to First High.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu had given him a big surprise, the girl could still get into First High.
"First High is good, First High is good." Although a bit regretful that Zhang Yu couldn’t make it into the rocket class, getting into First High was already very surprising.
Liang Yan was tidying up in the kitchen, hearing Zhang Yu say she could get into First High, she pursed her lips, "I wonder how Xiao Hao did."
Liang Yan had long given up on the idea of Xiao Hao going to First High; now she just hoped Zhang Hao would score high enough for any high school.
Thinking about this, Liang Yan realized she still couldn’t reach Zhang Hao, becoming anxious. Even though he was a boy, were boys really safe these days?
"Old Zhang, call Xiao Hao for me." Liang Yan, very worried, put down the phone.
Zhang Dong had been discussing with Zhang Yu how to improve herself during the summer.
Hadn’t said much when Liang Yan made her presence felt, leaving Zhang Dong quite displeased.
He took out his phone and called Zhang Hao, but couldn’t get through, "Can’t get through."
Liang Yan gave Zhang Dong a disdainful look, truly an useless guy.
"You go call." She said this without even naming, then turned and went back to busy herself in the kitchen.
Even though she hadn’t named anyone, Zhang Yu knew it was her being ordered to work. She took out her phone to call Zhang Hao, thinking he might have blocked her too.
Unexpectedly, she couldn’t get through either. Wow, might really be blocked. It’s a relief, otherwise, every time they couldn’t reach Zhang Hao, Liang Yan would come looking for her, which would be trouble.
Knowing Zhang Yu couldn’t reach Zhang Hao either, Liang Yan snapped, "Why can’t you reach your brother either."
"Truly useless." Unable to reach Zhang Hao all the time, Liang Yan’s already not-so-good mood soured even more.
"I’m useless, I can’t reach Zhang Hao. Mom, since you get along well with Zhang Hao, you can contact him directly."
Since she said that, Zhang Yu wouldn’t hold back, directly letting Liang Yan contact Zhang Hao.
If she could get in touch with Zhang Hao, would she still need to look at Zhang Yu’s face? Liang Yan knew she had gone a bit far with her words just now.
But there was no helping it; having let the words slip, she couldn’t possibly apologize.
"Dad, I’m going to tidy up my room." With a small room, lots of things needed sorting and organizing.
She had created quite a mess trying to appear as if she was diligently studying for the exam.
She hadn’t had time for it before, also with a bit of role-playing involved.
Now, mission accomplished, these things could finally retire, and Zhang Yu began tidying everything up.
Looking at the tall pile of exercise books in front, Zhang Yu let out a long sigh; these were the fruits of her labor.
Over the past six months, she had really worked through a lot of problems; this was the foundation she had built.
It was the starting point of her climbing to greater heights; she wanted to take a photo, but alas, it was an old phone, lacking that function.
