Ling Wenjiao sat down on the wooden sofa in the living room, and the woman sat down as well.

The other party looked at Ling Wenjiao's appearance and dress, and the expression on his face was quite acceptable, but the black clothes on his body didn't feel very good.

Ling Wenjiao's clothes today are also black, her hair is tied into a neat ponytail, and she is carrying a cross-body schoolbag. Very ordinary middle school students dressed up, except that the color is a little darker.

"Are you from Bailing Town?" I remember that your high school in Bailing Town doesn't seem to have a good admission rate, and there don't seem to be any outstanding students, right? How do I know how good your English is?" the woman looked at for a while, and then asked her question directly.

Ling Wenjiao kept a polite smile and said, "If you want to know my English level, I can show myself." ”

"Well, then you can introduce yourself in English. In the style of oratory. The woman was unceremoniously asked her directly.

The little girl by the window also quietly turned her head to look at Ling Wenjiao at this time, as if she was also waiting for Ling Wenjiao's display.

Ling Wenjiao smiled and nodded, and then introduced herself fluently in English: "Hello, I am a senior three student from bailing town. My name is ling wenjiao. I'm 17 years old， but I'm going to have my 18th birthday soon. I am a girl who likes making friends， observing life， and also likes cats and dogs.”

After saying this English, Ling Wenjiao looked at the woman's reaction.

The woman's expression was dazed and uncertain when she heard her words, and after listening to this, she turned her head to look at her daughter and asked, "Do you understand what she meant?"

The little girl said hesitantly, "She said that her name is Lin Wenjiao, it seems that she is from a place called Bailing Town...... Then she was 17 years old, but she seemed to be 18 years old again...... Well, then there was a mention of cats and dogs, and I didn't understand the rest. ”

The woman nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Ling Wenjiao: "Then can you translate this passage?"

Ling Wenjiao said: "Yes, it means: Hello, I am a third-year high school student from Bailing Town, and my name is Ling Wenjiao." I'm 17 years old, but I'm going to have my 18th birthday soon. I'm a girl who likes to make friends, to observe life, and to love cats and dogs. ”

The woman nodded when she heard this, in fact, although she couldn't understand what Ling Wenjiao said, she could hear her fluent accent. Even if she doesn't know English, she can hear this, and Ling Wenjiao's English is indeed very fluent.

But she thought of a question, which was prepared by the other party herself, maybe the other party just knew this.

"Wait a minute. So saying, the woman stood up, then walked to her daughter's desk, picked up an English textbook, flipped through it, then took it and handed it to her, pointed to the above passage of English, and said, "Read this passage to me." ”

Ling Wenjiao saw that the English textbook for the fourth grade of primary school was really simple......

In fact, learning English in primary school is not all popular in her family in this era. The only private elementary school in this city starts learning English from the fourth grade. Public primary schools do not offer this course, and they all start to have English in junior high school.

Ling Wenjiao looked at the text in the textbook and said, "What day is it today?" It's Monday.what day is it today? It's tuesday......”

This is a simple article that teaches English from Monday to Sunday.

After listening to this, the woman turned her head to look at her daughter: "Is she right?"

The little girl nodded: "Well, that's right. ”

Ling Wenjiao probably saw that this little girl's own English level should be okay, at least she memorized all the lessons she had learned in the textbook.

And her mother probably didn't know anything English.

"Then within what range can you accept your tutoring fee?" After seeing her daughter's reaction, the woman thought about it and looked at Ling Wenjiao and asked.

Ling Wenjiao said: "I count it by the day, and then I can only come every Sunday for a month. I can charge you thirty dollars a day, and if you find the price unacceptable, we can negotiate the price you are comfortable with. ”

"Thirty yuan, one day, four days in a month, isn't it one hundred and twelve?" Sure enough, as soon as she heard Ling Wenjiao's tutoring fee, the woman was a little surprised.

Ling Wenjiao smiled and said, "We can negotiate this price, if you think it's high, then it doesn't matter if I can lower it a little, but it can't be less than twenty-one days." It's already cheap, and other tutors are charged by the hour, at least eight yuan an hour. ”

If it is Qionglan City, there will be a lot of such tutors, but Qianhe City is not without this industry here for the time being. So while someone might be able to get a tutor or something, it's relatively rare. For example, some government cadres and big bosses in the city can afford to hire this kind of tutor who charges by the hour, and they are also invited from Qionglan City.

The conditions of this family are probably that they can't afford that type of tutor. Looking at the furniture and electrical appliances at home, the family's income is probably a relatively stable type, but it still looks a little economical. After all, although the furniture and appliances at home are not very cheap, they are not luxurious.

The woman frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before turning her head to Ling Wenjiao and said, "That's it, let's do this today." You go back and wait for the news first, and I'll wait for my husband to come back and discuss with him before making a decision. ”

Ling Wenjiao nodded with a smile, stood up and said, "Okay." Then excuse me, goodbye. ”

Generally speaking, nine times out of ten, this statement will not work. The front was fine, but as soon as I heard her tutoring fee, the other party hesitated. It seems that the extra expenditure of 180 yuan a month seems to be a bit overrun for their family.

After leaving the door of this family, Ling Wenjiao calmly went downstairs and continued to walk to the next family.

Her plan today, in fact, the biggest chance of winning is still the Zhong family. If it was Zhong Mingsong's kid, it should be easier to say.

But she won't put all the odds on the Zhong family, so she still tries to go to other homes first. If one or two of the other three can succeed, she will see if the Zhong family's cost will be higher than the others.

If there is only one option, then naturally she will lower her needs. But if you have more choices, of course, you should choose an option that is more beneficial to you.

There's nothing wrong with giving yourself a back path.

Then she went straight to the address of the third house, which lived in the downtown area. To be able to live in this area, the family background is not simple.

I quickly found an elevator building in front of the building. Although the elevator is narrow and small, the elevator fee is quite a bit.

After entering the elevator, she was about to close the door. Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside the door: "Oh, wait for me!
