Chapter 5 Private Tutoring
"You just finished taking a shower." Speaking of which, Zhou Jiayi often saw boys shaking around the school without wiping their hair after taking a shower, but at this time, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "What, my mother asked me to ask you to go to my house for dinner, you blow your hair and come over, I ...... I'll go back first. β
Before Lu Junyuan could react, Zhou Jiayi ran downstairs with a pedal.
Zhou Jiayi, who was twenty years old, ran to the door of her house in one breath and breathed a sigh of relief, "Damn, I almost became a strange aunt." β
But Lu Junyuan, who had just taken a shower and had misty eyes, looked really cute and well-behaved, and he didn't have the usual temperament of the kaolin flower at all, so he wanted to pinch his face! Zhou Jiayi couldn't help but feel sorry in her heart.
Li Qiumei had already put the meal on the table, and when she saw her daughter enter the door, she said, "Hasn't Xiaoyuan come down yet?" Then don't close the door yet, so that the kid won't have to knock on the door later. β
"Is my dad coming back for dinner today?" Seeing the dishes and chopsticks of four people on the table, Zhou Jiayi asked.
"Your dad is repairing his car at the front street garage, and he just called and said he would be back later."
The danger of the driver's profession is quite high, even if you don't hit others, it is difficult to guarantee that you will meet those road killers, Zhou Jianping has been driving a taxi for a few years, and he has been scratched several times, Zhou Jiayi was a little worried when she heard that the car was broken, and asked: "The car is broken?" Is my dad okay? β
Li Qiumei looked at her funny, "What can happen, it's not that I collided with someone, it's just that the headlights are broken, the lights are uneven, and I have to repair it before I can go on the road." β
While talking, Zhou Jianping and Lu Junyuan entered the door one after the other, one was refreshing, and the other was full of black oil.
Zhou Jiayi brought a basin of water and asked Zhou's father to wash his hands, and Li Qiumei asked on the side, "How can you fix a car lamp and still get dirty?" β
"I encountered an oil leak from a big car, so I took a hand." Zhou Jianping smiled, he washed his hands without soap, but first soaked his hands in water, and then grabbed a handful of laundry detergent to rub off the oil on his hands, a basin of clean water immediately turned into sewage, Zhou Jiayi bent down to pick up the basin, poured out the dirty water, washed the basin and took a basin of water, Zhou Jianping washed it again, then picked up a towel to dry his hands, and greeted everyone with a smile.
Lu Junyuan was carrying a paper bag, leaning against the wall to watch the interaction between the father and daughter, and only when he heard Zhou Jianping call him did he answer, put the paper bag on the TV cabinet, and walked towards the dining table with kindness.
"The weather is hot these days, and Yiyi's review is also hard, why don't we install an air conditioner in Yiyi's room?" The Zhou family does not have the rule of not eating and sleeping, and Zhou Jianping felt that his daughter was a lot more sensible after the blow of losing the high school entrance examination, so he thought about contributing to her review.
Li Qiumei disagreed, "What kind of air conditioner to install, I think the fan in her house is very good, an air conditioner is thousands, your father and your mother have never enjoyed this blessing, how squeamish can she be a little girl, besides, how much electricity is consumed!" β
Zhou Jianping has an honest personality, and when he saw his wife say this, he was also a little hesitant, but the words had already been spoken, so it was naturally difficult to change his words, so he looked at his daughter apologetically.
If it had been left in the previous life, Zhou Jiayi would have quarreled with her mother by this time, but if she was in her twenties, she really felt that what her mother said was quite reasonable, "Dad, my mother is right, the fan in my house is quite windy, and with the money for installing air conditioning, you might as well scrape together more to buy a homestead." β
At this time, a two-bedroom house in the county town is about tens of thousands of yuan, but the taxi opened by Zhou Jianping, the starting price in the county is only three yuan, and you can earn 10,000 yuan all year round.
Thinking that her father planned to use the family's savings to install an air conditioner for herself, Zhou Jiayi was not only moved, but also roughly estimated the family's savings, so she dared to say such a bold and naΓ―ve construction.
The parents of the Zhou family didn't take her words to heart at all, and Li Qiumei also patted her on the head, "Our family has no shortage of places to live, what homestead to buy, talking nonsense all day long, and being used to being extravagant, and now you dare to support your parents how to spend money." β
Lu Junyuan listened to Zhou Jiayi's words, he thought about it, and said, "Uncle and aunt, Jiayi's words are not unreasonable, now that the country is developing rapidly, you must see that many places in our county are building buildings, maybe this house will be worth money in the future." β
"Listen, Xiaoyuan's words are different, and he pays attention to national affairs every day." Zhou Jianping gave him a piece of braised pork, and said to Zhou Jiayi with a smile: "It's better to study, see how much Xiaoyuan knows." As we old say, learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you are not afraid to go all over the world, you have to learn more now, especially that English, now people have to know English when they go abroad, and it will definitely be of great use in the future if you learn it well. β
Recently, all major TV stations are broadcasting "Farewell Vancouver", when Zhou Jianping is on the day shift, he will watch two episodes of TV series at night before sleeping, and from time to time he will follow the characters in the play to learn two strange sentences of English, and he is very eager to learn, but about learning English, I have to say that Zhou's father has the truth in some kind of Cheng dΓΉ.
It's a pity that Dad Zhou, who has such a sense of advancement, only treats them as children, so naturally he won't listen to these words.
Zhou Jiayi is not very discouraged, changing the future situation of the family is not an overnight thing, as the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way, she first let her parents see her ability, and she will not worry that they will not listen to her in the future.
Where does the ability come from? Read more, who makes people like Zhou's parents who were born in the countryside believe in the words of learned people the most!
The family members don't want their sons to become dragons and daughters to become phoenixes, and Li Qiumei is no exception, don't look at her weekdays, Zhou Jiayi is diligent, that is all a table of hatred of iron and steel, now that her daughter knows that she has worked hard, she has to maintain the child's learning momentum by all means.
So when she was full after eating seven or eight minutes of food, she glanced at Zhou Jianping.
Father Zhou's expression was a little embarrassed, but his eyes fell on the happy Zhou Jiayi, and he sighed and said, "Xiaoyuan, my uncle has something I want to discuss with you." β
Lu Junyuan is a very polite person, and when he heard this, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Jianping, "Uncle, what do you say?" β
"That's the case, Yiyi hasn't been reviewing in the past two days, you also know her previous grades, your own review and estimation is limited, you study well, so ......" Zhou Jianping was not embarrassed to ask a junior like this, and hesitated and said: "If you are willing, uncle wants to ask you to help Yiyi make up for the class, you have taken the top prize in our county, there must be many people who want to find you to tutor their children, uncle does not take advantage of you, how much others give, we also give the same amount, that is...... I'm afraid you don't have time. β
Seeing that Lu Jun was silent for a long time, Zhou Jianping added the last sentence.
Li Qiumei glared at him, smiled and put a chopstick dish into Lu Junyuan's bowl, and said: "Xiaoyuan, I know that last time you gave Yiyi a make-up lesson, it was wrong for her to lose her temper at you, I have already scolded her, your good friend has no overnight hatred, she finally has the heart to study now, you should help your uncle and aunt, teach her, okay?" β
Those who don't have an overnight feud are husband and wife! Zhou Jiayi secretly complained in her heart, and hurriedly said: "What, Xiaolulu, I used to be small-minded and bad-tempered, you have a lot of adults, take it to heart, I formally apologize to you, and I really want to ask you to help me make up for my lessons, and strive to keep up with you." β
"Fawn?" Lu Junyuan looked at her with a smile.
Yikes! accidentally said the nickname given to Lu Junyuan, but Lu Junyuan's well-behaved and docile appearance after taking a bath really looked like a little sika deer.
"It's a nickname! Nickname! Definitely not a nickname. "Zhou Jiayi has no emphasis on three hundred taels of silver here.
Just kidding, how good it is to be able to invite the top student in the high school entrance examination to tutor herself, she doesn't want to offend people, but Lu Junyuan shouldn't be so stingy......
But Zhou Jiayi's core is an adult in the end, she doesn't feel that because her family is good to Lu Junyuan, he has the obligation to agree to make up for herself, thinking of Lu Junyuan's hesitation just now, she said again: "You have arranged something for the summer vacation, otherwise forget it, anyway, I will find a teacher after the school starts." β
"Can it be the same!" Li Qiumei said anxiously, "The teacher with the graduating class, can you open a small stove for a cram student?" Besides, you have a three-minute hot temperament for everything, you should find someone to watch you! β
Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Li Qiumei's words were to the point, Zhou Jiayi said helplessly: "It's not like everyone has to revolve around me, what if someone has something......
"It's fine." Lu Junyuan suddenly spoke, "I'm fine, the summer vacation is the hot time, I didn't want to go out, of course I have time to make up for Jiayi, just forget the make-up fee, I like to eat the dishes made by my aunt, I don't know if Huan is welcome to stay and eat after making up the class?" β
"This kid, Auntie can't wait for you to come every day."
Lu Junyuan's matter of making up lessons for Zhou Jiayi was decided.
Zhou Jiayi, a scumbag who used to be a frequent visitor to cram schools, never expected that she would usher in the day when a top student would become her private tutor.
"You, thanks to Xiaoyuan, he is a good boy......" After Lu Junyuan said goodbye, Zhou's father spoke, "Xiaoyuan was in the third year of junior high school before, and he didn't go home for a whole year, and his father didn't come to see him, can such a big child miss home, you ...... good"
"Blame me! Then don't open your mouth just now! Li Qiumei was unhappy, "I'm not for the good of our daughter, Xiaoyuan didn't also agree, if he doesn't want to, I can still force him with a knife, besides, Xiaoyuan's conscienceless father, go back and see what he does, I think it's good to be here with us, if it's not for the fear that people will think of us as high, I want to recognize Xiaoyuan as a godson!" β
At the mention of Lu Junyuan's father, Zhou Jianping sighed and didn't say anything more.
Zhou Jiayi heard the conversation of her parents, and was curious, and asked, "What's wrong with Lu Junyuan's father?" Why didn't you come and see him? β
"Why do children ask so much?" Li Qiumei impatiently said a perfunctory sentence and asked her to wash the dishes.
It can't be some bloody incident, right? Zhou Jiayi guessed as she wrapped the remaining dishes on the table in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator.
"Dad, is this what you bought?" There was a paper bag on the cabinet next to the refrigerator, and through the unglued seal, you could vaguely see that it was a cardboard box inside.
Zhou Jiayi picked it up and took it apart and took a look, "Learning machine, Dad, you bought it for me?" β
