Rebirth: Those Years When I Was a Bad Student

Zhang Yumian had just left the classroom when Zhang Wentian followed behind him. He said in a mean way, "How about this? I'll take you home on my bike for dinner. That way you don't have to stay out in the sun. Our area is pretty remote anyway, and the bus can't go there directly."

Zhang Yumian stopped and looked at him. She felt that what he said made sense. Since she couldn't ride a bicycle now, she had to rely on her legs for half of the journey.

Looking at the sun outside, I really don't want to move a step. Before buying a bicycle, it is indeed a good idea to let this thing take me home.

Zhang Yumian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to ice cream in the afternoon."

After Zhang Yumian returned home, her mother Lin Cai'e was surprised why she came back so early today.

She explained that she was given a ride by a classmate and looking at her parents in front of her, she felt mixed emotions. She had too few opportunities to accompany her parents over the years as she was away from home.

When I was young and ignorant, I always left my worst temper to my parents and gave my best temper to others.

Thinking about the bad things she had done before, she wanted to slap herself. But her parents never blamed her, instead they always thought it was their fault as parents.

She said lightly, "Mom and Dad," and they would spend their whole lives protecting her from the wind and rain. From then on, they would put aside their own ideals and open up a road to a distant place for her.

When she saw her parents so young again, Zhang Yumian felt that this might be a gift from God. This time she would definitely change her current life through her own efforts, so that her parents would not live such a hard life, nor would they be sad.

I also have to turn my younger brother, a poor student, into a model student, let alone a top student.

During lunch, Zhang Yumian asked for a bicycle.

Dad Zhang Guohua asked curiously, "I bought it for you before, but you didn't dare to ride it?"

Zhang Yumian was speechless about her thirteen-year-old self, who was afraid to ride a bicycle and so walked ten minutes to the bus stop every day.

Beishui County is backward and has incomplete infrastructure because my parents do not have stable jobs.

So the house they rented was in a remote area, with only old houses in this area, and many people, like them, moved here from nearby rural areas.

Zhang Yumian explained that walking back and forth was not a big deal, and it was more convenient to ride a bike. When he went to high school and had evening self-study classes, he would definitely have to learn how to ride a bike.

Fortunately, Zhang's father had mentioned before that he wanted to buy a bicycle. He didn't want his daughter to work so hard, so he agreed to buy it this week without saying a word.

After finishing her meal, Zhang Yumian saw that it was still early for the time she had agreed with Zhang Wentian, so she decided to go back to her room for a nap.

But seeing myself in the mirror…

She was quite short, less than 1.6 meters tall, and it was estimated that when she was thirteen years old, she was probably only 1.5 meters tall at most.

At this age, there is still a great possibility of change, so she found Ms. Lin and asked her to buy pure milk, which she had to drink every day for the next three years.

Ms. Lin joked, "Don't you dislike drinking pure milk and only like drinking yogurt?"

Zhang Yumian lay in her mother's arms and said, "Yes, but mom, look at my height. Do I still have any choice?"

Ms. Lin smiled and patted her head and said, "Okay, buy it for our Mianmian. Our Mianmian will definitely grow up big in the future."

She knew her mother would definitely agree. From childhood to adulthood, as long as it was her request, her parents would always do their best to satisfy it.

Although the family conditions were limited and her parents' abilities were limited, they always gave her the best they could.

In this life, she also wants to give her parents the best.

She remembered that the family's financial situation began to improve slowly from that year, but it was all the hard-earned money of her parents.

She studied finance in college and she remembered that the stock market and futures were pretty good in the past two years. She still remembered some important points.

If you invest some now, you should have a good income. Then you can buy a few more houses in the city and sell them ten years later, and you can achieve financial freedom.

The more I think about it, the more feasible it seems. After all, housing prices now are much cheaper than they will be in ten years.

But how should I tell my parents? After all, I am a minor and cannot open an account, and I don’t have any money.

Maybe I could try to convince my dad. At that time, he kept asking me to teach him how to trade stocks. It should be easier to convince him. Then I could tell him some price trends. Maybe it would be feasible.

If I tell my dad about this so suddenly now, he might not be able to accept it. I'll talk to him when I have the chance later.

Anyway, it's still early and there's no need to rush. Besides, this time I was reborn before I was held back. This time I will definitely study hard and improve my grades, so that I can enter society two years earlier than in my previous life.

Even if I live a routine life now, I can still change my life with these two years in advance and let my parents retire sooner.

After getting up from a short nap, I combed my hair again and changed the two ponytails into one.

Maybe it’s because I was reborn, I really can’t accept my two ponytails. I always feel silly.

After washing my face, I went out to wait for Zhang Wentian. It wasn’t nice to ask others to wait, but I was a little uncomfortable without a cell phone.

It feels like waiting for someone is like waiting for a rabbit to come to you.

Zhang Yumian felt it was necessary to put the matter of buying a mobile phone on the agenda.

The weather at the end of June was scorching hot. The leaves on the trees were curled up due to the baking. The beautiful flowers in the roadside gardens also drooped their heads.

Looking at the sun, I can understand why my skin was so bad when I grew up. Before college, I never used facial cleanser or sunscreen.

I had no idea what skin care was.

It is not easy to ask my mother for money to buy sunscreen now. She will definitely say that my current task is to study hard and nothing else is important.

It’s better to go home at night, find a hat, and use some physical sunscreen. I’ll wait two years before using chemical sunscreen.

Zhang Yumian was planning to buy a popsicle at the store. After walking in, she was drooling at the sight of the beef tendons on the counter, as well as watermelon-shaped bubble gum, peach drinks, and so on.

Looking at them one by one brings back memories, including stickers of TV series such as My Fair Princess, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Journey to the West, and Legend of the New White Snake.

The dead memories appeared before her eyes and began to attack her violently.

Finally, she slowly reached out her hand and took out a beef tendon and a Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils sticker, folded them and put them in her pocket. She bought the beef tendon because she was really greedy, as she hadn't tasted the same flavor since graduation, and she bought the sticker mainly because the Fairy Sister was so pretty.

Then he opened the freezer. He originally wanted to buy two popsicles, but the weather was too hot and they would melt in a short while. So he decided to wait for Zhang Wentian to come over and buy them for him.

Just take one for now. The moment she put her hand in, Zhang Yumian had an urge not to come out. It was so cool and comfortable.

In my hometown in 08, only wealthy families could afford air conditioning, and most families were happy to have a fan to blow in the summer.

Refrigerators are gradually becoming more popular, and many convenience stores have this type of freezer, which is specifically used to buy popsicles and ice cream in the summer.

Zhang Yumian took out the popsicle and paid for it.

I tore open the package right after it came out and took a bite. It was so delicious.
