Xiaoqing's life has always been very poor. The monthly room and board expenses alone are a lot of expenses for her. Xiao Zhenhuan seems to be able to understand his mother's hardships, never caring about Xiaoqing's snacks, and only eating with his mother. Xiaoqing also took pity on her son. In order to make her son's life better, Xiaoqing took up a temporary job in addition to work.

Xiaoqing's temporary job is to be a tutor. During her school days, Xiaoqing's academic performance was very good, so it was not difficult to prepare for class. She teaches everything from elementary school to high school students. In order to be able to bring more tutors, she had to stagger the time of many students.

For this reason, she discussed with the parents, and all the parents agreed. She made a class schedule for herself, and she went to class on time no matter the wind or rain. Every time she went, she took Xiao Zhenhuan with her. She and all the parents told the truth. The parents sympathized with her plight and said nothing.

Among Xiaoqing's many students, there is a female student named Zhao Panpan who is very cared for and cared for by Xiaoqing. Panpan is eight years old and in the second grade of primary school. Panpan is a very obedient and sensible child. Her father, Zhao Hai, is an executive at a large company. Her mother was killed in a car accident. Xiaoqing also heard the sad news during a chance conversation.

That day, when it was time to eat, Zhao Hai asked Panpan to go out to eat. I can't live or die. Panpan said she didn't want to eat at the restaurant.

"To go or not to go?" Zhao Hai said to Pan Pan in a tone that bordered on command and reprimand.

"Don't go. Panpan also replied categorically, and then pouted her little mouth.

Xiaoqing saw that Zhao Hai's father and daughter were about to quarrel, so she stepped forward to explain:

"Panpan must have a bad appetite, and I'm tired of eating in the restaurant. She must have wanted to eat her mother's cooking. Xiaoqing's words made Zhao Hai speechless.

"My mom was in a car accident and died. Panpan said very calmly, as if she had already seen through death.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about that. ”

"It's fine. We didn't tell you either. ”

"Otherwise, I'll cook for you. ”

"Why is this so annoying to you?"

"No hassle. ”

Panpan was very happy to hear that Xiaoqing was going to cook for them.

"Then I'll go downstairs and buy groceries. ”

"Remember to buy fresh food. ”

Zhao Hai bought the vegetables, and Xiaoqing helped cook. After it was done, Zhao Hai invited Xiaoqing to eat together. Panpan also pulled Xiaoqing to prevent her from leaving. Xiaoqing had to sit down and eat with them. Panpan ate very well and ate a lot.

"Eating too much is not good for your health. Xiaoqing said to Panpan.

"I have to eat more to remember the taste forever. Panpan's answer made Xiaoqing a little surprised.

"If Panpan likes to eat, Auntie will make it for Panpan every day in the future. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

"I don't know how to cook. If you cook for Panpan every day. I'll give you another thousand a month. What do you think?"

"No, I don't. I just cook to help Panpan fulfill a small wish. ”

After this meal, the relationship between Xiaoqing and Zhao Hai became closer.

Every time Xiao Zhenhuan goes to Panpan's house, Panpan will give his snacks to Xiao Zhenhuan. Panpan affectionately calls Xiao Zhenhuan her little brother, and Xiao Zhenhuan also calls her sister.

Xiaoqing is different from other tutors.

Most of the tutors are like teachers in school, and they don't know that these students have already heard from their teachers in school. Xiaoqing led the tutor and focused on answering students' questions. After solving the students' doubts, she asked the students to do their homework independently. Regarding this, Zhao Hai and Xiaoqing also had a meaningful conversation.

"I remember you said that you also studied international trade when you were in college. Right?"

"Yes. ”

"Have you ever heard the term 'homo economicus'?"

"I've heard of it. The so-called homo economicus, that is, the assumption that man thinks and acts rationally, and the only economic benefit he tries to obtain is the maximization of material compensation. ”

"Yes, isn't it much less money that you only answer questions and answer doubts? This is not in line with the way homo economicus thinks and acts. ”

"The 'homo economicus' assumption in Western classical economics holds that man is completely rational and can make choices that maximize his own interests. Later, however, Simon revised this assumption and proposed the concept of 'bounded rationality', which holds that human beings are in a state of 'bounded rationality' between perfectly rational and irrational. I am not only an economic person, but also a moral and social person. At the same time, I am a mother. I think every mother wants her child to learn more. Therefore, I don't want to instill in my students what they already know. What I'm telling them is what they should know but don't. At the same time, I want them to develop the habit of independent thinking. Chinese children need independence too much. ”

"You are not only a qualified tutor, but also a great mother. ”

"You're overrated. I'm just doing my part. ”

"In this materialistic age, there are too few people like you who are not moved by money. ”

"The more materialistic you are, the more you need people who treat money like dung. At a time when the motherland needs people most, there should be thousands of volunteers to serve the country. Sometimes, volunteers also represent the image of a region or country's friendliness to the outside world. It was precisely because of the selfless dedication of so many volunteers in the Olympic Games in '08 and the Youth Olympic Games in '14 that foreign tourists deeply appreciated China's friendship. If they are all doing things for money, foreign tourists may think that the Chinese are just a bunch of snobs. ”

Xiaoqing's words made Zhao Hai respect her.
