Hidden talents and rising stars in the nanny industry

Chapter 135 Zhang Xinru won the Environmental Protection Little Guardian Award

To make his performance more convincing, Dr. Zhao quickly gave the security guard a wink.

"Go and call everyone at the door in, so they don't escape. Also, find all their valuables. Even a small amount is still valuable! Every little bit helps."

"I'll go to his house when I have time and see if there's anything valuable there."

When Ru's parents saw the security guard go to call for help, they immediately took off running.

After everyone left, Zhang Xinru finally collapsed from exhaustion.

"Zhang Ma?"

"Zhang Ma?"

Dr. Zhao carried Zhang Xinru into the bedroom and quickly checked her condition.

With a worried look, Wang Ma asked, "Dr. Zhao, what's wrong with Zhang Ma? Why did she suddenly faint?"

Dr. Zhao examined her for a while and found that all her physical indicators were normal. When he took her pulse, he discovered that Zhang Ma had never had a miscarriage. He was so excited that his hands trembled slightly.

"She's fine. She's probably just exhausted from the past few days. She'll be fine after a couple more days of rest."

That damned woman! She's never been pregnant, yet she dared to lie to him. She really made him suffer!

When she wakes up, I must ask her why she lied to him.

……

When Zhang Xinru woke up, she felt her head was very heavy, and when she looked around, she felt that what she saw was somewhat unreal.

Where is this? It looks so familiar.

She...she's traveled back in time? No! She doesn't want to come back!

There was a school in front of her, the place she went to when she was a child, just as she remembered it.

She was working out of town when she wore the T-shirt, so shouldn't she be back in another town? How did she end up back in her hometown? What exactly happened?

A passerby walked towards her, passing right through her body as if he hadn't seen her at all.

Zhang Xinru touched herself and made strange expressions at several passersby, but the result was the same: no one could see her.

"Ah... Am I a wandering ghost? How could this happen! God, are you kidding me?"

After a moment of sadness, Zhang Xinru cheered up again.

"I haven't been back for so many years, I wonder how much my hometown has changed?"

Since the villagers can't see me, I'll just wander around.

Where should we go? How about we go see those two old fogies in her house?

Just then, the sound of gongs and drums came from nearby.

Zhang Xinru followed the sound into the campus and saw many parents and students.

"What bad luck, today is Children's Day. I really don't understand what's so great about this kind of holiday."

"So many years have passed, but the teachers are still the same as the ones I hated in my memory, they haven't aged at all."

"Wait, why am I seeing a classmate? That little guy looks so much like me when I was little."

As Zhang Xinru approached, she realized that the little figure in front of her was just like herself when she was a child.

"Am I going back to my childhood? I never imagined I was so unsophisticated back then, such a country bumpkin, hahaha."

"Hi, Xinru, can you see me? I'm you from the future, all grown up! You're very pretty now!"

The little man in front of me stood at the very back of the line, wearing a pair of yellowed and worn-out men's sneakers. His face showed no joy, as if the holiday had nothing to do with him.

The children next to her stared at her shoes and made laughing noises.

"Hahaha, Zhang Xinru is actually wearing men's sneakers, how embarrassing..."

"Didn't the teacher say that girls should buy sneakers with flowers on them? Why is she wearing boys' shoes?!"

"Who knows! Anyway, the teacher didn't choose her to perform, so what difference does it make whether she wears it or not?"

"Didn't you see that her school uniform is still the old style from several years ago!"

"Haven't we already changed to new school uniforms..."

Xiao Xinru's face turned red as she held back, taking a few steps back as if she hadn't heard them talking.

Everyone was wearing brand-new performance costumes, new sneakers, and their makeup was sparkling.

She was the only one standing at the back, wearing the old-style school uniform, looking out of place.

The students shared their joy with each other.

"My mom is coming to school to watch my performance later, and she said she'll buy me whatever snacks I want today..."

"What's the big deal? My dad said he's going to take me to a photo studio after the performance to take pictures of my handsome face and save them..."

"My mom said she's going to take me to the city for a few days during the Children's Day holiday..."

"..."

Just then, the teacher's voice could be heard.

"Students, it's time. Everyone, line up. We're going to parade around the streets and then return to school."

"Your parents are watching you all along the way, so everyone should behave well."

"The ones carrying the big flags are at the front, followed by those carrying colorful flags, then those playing gongs and drums, and then those performing shows... We're off."

In the end, no one said where the children who didn't participate should stand.

Xiao Xinru quietly followed at the very back.

Seeing everyone leave, Zhang Xinru quickly stood next to Xiao Xinru.

Following the large group, we walked around the streets for a long time before returning to the school. After a few opening remarks, Children's Day officially began.

Adults brought their children to watch the performance around the large stage.

Xiao Xinru tried to squeeze in for a long time but couldn't get in. In the end, she gave up watching the show and sat quietly to the side, hoping that time would pass faster.

Waiting time is always tedious and boring.

She saw many parents leading their children to buy toys and snacks, sharing their joy, and a hint of envy on their faces.

"They are so lucky. Why do my parents never care about me?"

Zhang Xinru patted Xiao Xinru's head from a distance.

"Don't envy them. What you didn't have when you were a child, you will have when you grow up. If no one loves us, we will love ourselves."

"Actually, what we hoped to have when we were young is not so great when we think about it now that we're older."

Zhang Xinru didn't go to the stage to watch the performance; instead, she quietly sat next to Xiao Xinru until the performance ended.

The teacher then asked each class to line up, and what followed was the scene all the students had been looking forward to: the distribution of certificates.

Xiao Xinru was short and stood in the front row, watching numbly as her classmates went on stage to receive their awards. She felt no sense of participation whatsoever.

Zhang Xinru recalled that when she was in the last graduating class of elementary school, the teacher gave each of them a certificate of merit as a farewell gift.

She still remembers the contents of that certificate.

"Zhang Xinru has won the Environmental Protection Little Guardian Award."

Haha, how ironic. She's an average student, and she never gets a "Three Good Student" award.

But she also wanted to try to win other awards, but none of them were for handicrafts, painting, or returning lost property.

She always handed over any money she found to the teacher. In order to win the painting award, she begged her classmates for a long time to borrow colored pencils to draw a picture and stayed up all night to make a small pineapple toy. But the next day, the teacher didn't even look at it and said that it had already been decided.

After six years of elementary school, the only certificate I received was for being an environmental protection little guardian, and it was just an afterthought...
