Huang Lihua opened the door to a middle-aged woman wearing a cotton silk pajamas printed with floral patterns, only to see a curly hair on her head, as if she was making curls for herself, one hand smeared something on her face, and the other hand guided Huang Lihua into the house.

"Hello, you are the tutor introduced by Haoran's colleague, right?"

"Yes, yes, Auntie, hello! I'm Huang Lihua from the 86-level Chinese Language and Literature Department of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and I'm here to be a tutor for a high school student named Yin Wanyao!"

"Yes, Yin Wanyao is my daughter, my surname is Cao, Wanyao is upstairs now, you go up with me, Teacher Huang, my daughter is very smart, but you don't have to study, you have to discipline me strictly, you must be admitted to college next year no matter what!"

"Auntie, don't worry, I will do my best to complete my work!"

As soon as she entered the house, Huang Lihua looked up and down at the living room with an area of less than 20 square meters, as if she had entered the Grand View Garden, Huang Lihua was surprised by the luxury in the house, the white walls, the elegant wall lamps, the wooden floor, the red sandalwood furniture, the dresser, the TV, the refrigerator, the sewing machine are all available, the kitchen is dazzling white tiles, from the ground to the stove, the sink, all clean and spotless. What's even more amazing is that the kitchen, stairwell and living room are separated by an antique four-open Nanmu screen, on which is vaguely shown is a picture of Shi Tao's deep mountains and autumn water, and then from the wall hanging a few scroll paintings can be seen that the cultural connotation of the owner is not comparable to ordinary people. Huang Lihua thinks what is the origin of this family, where is it like the crowded and cramped alleys where old Shanghainese live, it is clearly a scene that only appears in movies.

followed Aunt Cao on the wooden stairs that were clattering, pushed open the door on the third floor near the side of the road, and saw an extremely thin girl wearing a pair of black-framed glasses lying on the desk looking at some book.

"Wanyao, this is Teacher Huang of Shanghai Jiaotong University, Teacher Zhou from last week has something to do, in the future, your homework tutoring will be completed by this Teacher Huang for you, Wanyao, be obedient, don't make trouble for me again!"

Huang Lihua felt a sigh in her heart when she heard that she was causing trouble, it seems that the girl in front of her can't be underestimated.

"Teacher Huang, I'll hand over Wanyao to you, you have to worry about it, this kid is not very good-tempered, if she wants to be disobedient, just tell me!"

"Auntie, don't worry, I don't think Wanyao is a child, we learn from each other and make progress together!"

Aunt Cao nodded with satisfaction and turned around and left the room!

Yin Wanyao's room has a balcony facing the street, although the door is closed, but from the crack in the door, there is still a tight cry outside the window, and the cries of the small merchants and vendors downstairs are not lively, but these cries do not disturb Yin Wanyao, who is sitting at the desk and reading a novel with relish.

Huang Lihua sat next to Yin Wanyao and tilted her head to take a look, it turned out that Yin Wanyao read Sanmao's novel "The Story of the Sahara", this book is very good, Huang Lihua read all of Sanmao's books in high school, including "The rainy season will not come again", "Scarecrow Notes", "Thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains", "How much do you know about the flowers in your dreams", Sanmao is a writer that Huang Lihua likes very much, I didn't expect the girl in front of me to like it too, and there is a common topic now. didn't wait for Huang Lihua to speak, Yin Wanyao preemptively came up with a sentence that choked Huang Lihua so much that she almost slapped her ass and left.

"Teacher Huang, how much money does my mother give you to teach me an hour?"

"2 bucks!"

"Otherwise, Mr. Huang, I'll give you an extra 1 yuan per hour, you don't have to teach me anything, just stay in my room for enough time, what do you think!"

After speaking, she looked at Huang Lihua with a cynical look, Huang Lihua just wanted to jump up and say, Are you insulting my personality?

"One dollar is a little less, or just like your mother, give me two yuan, I promise not to disturb you reading, three hours a day, so that I can earn twelve yuan a day, and I will work in the restaurant for half a month, which is great!

Yin Wanyao opened her eyes wide this time and looked carefully at the outsider Huang Lihua in front of her, who was not glamorous, but gave people a dignified and generous feeling, and really underestimated her. Yin Wanyao reluctantly picked up a small purse from the drawer, took out six yuan from it and handed it to her. Huang Lihua took the money unceremoniously, took out a book from the bookshelf, sat down next to Yin Wanyao, and read it with relish.

On the afternoon of the seventh day, Yin Wanyao couldn't help it,

"Teacher Huang, it's a fraud for you to take money from my mother for not teaching me to study like this, do you know?

"It was you who told me not to disturb you, I did it, it was your decision, I respect your decision, am I wrong? Even if you tell your mom and then change me to a new teacher to tutor you, do you think your grades will go up? You don't want to study, even if you come to 100 tutors, it's useless, why don't you let me make some money with you, don't bother each other, and do our own thing, isn't it better?"

"Who says I don't want to study, my grades are good! ”

"Really, let me see your summer homework and show me what's good?"

You say a word, I say a word, the two of them unconsciously reviewed a few homework, and when Yin Wanyao understood that Huang Lihua was already tutoring her homework, she was very helpless, because her pocket money for the whole summer vacation had unknowingly entered Huang Lihua's pocket these days, and there was no money for her to let her not teach herself!

Huang Lihua happily came to Yin Wanyao's house every day to be a tutor, and invited her to watch a movie at the Cathay Pacific Cinema with the money given by Yin Wanyao.

On this day, Huang Lihua lay on Yin Wanyao's bed and read a book after assigning her homework to Yin Wanyao, watching, watching the two eyelids fight, and falling asleep with her head tilted! I don't know how long I slept, and I heard someone talking dimly,

"Brother, didn't you bring me a gift when you came back from a business trip?"

"I'm so busy, how can I have time to buy you gifts? Come, give you 50 yuan, buy whatever you want?"

"Great! Thank you, brother, I don't have a penny in my pocket?"

"What? Didn't I just give you 50 dollars when I left? You spent money too quickly, didn't you?

"Don't mention it, brother, my pocket money has been earned by this Teacher Huang!"

"Your tutor? How many are you? Why are you still asleep, did she teach you well?"

"Brother, this Teacher Huang is a college student at Shanghai Jiaotong University, his hometown is Hubei, he is a thief, compared with you, why don't you let her be my sister-in-law! I still like her, better than Chen Lulu in your unit!"

"What are you kidding? How could your brother and I find a foreigner to be my wife, are you stupid?"

Yin Wanyao's brother went out humming a little song after speaking, and Huang Lihua sat up suddenly,

"Who?"

"My brother!"

"Is it your own brother? Why do you still have a brother? I always thought you were an only child!"

"My brother is eight years older than me, 25 years old this year, is a salesman of Shanghai Tea and Linen Import and Export Company, went on a business trip to Nanjing some time ago, and just came back today!"
