Chapter 40: Tutoring
Ma Dongshang Seagull and his wife went downstairs and introduced Zhao Huanhuan to the door, and Zhao Huanhuan saw that the couple were still wearing pajamas.
Ma Dong didn't understand what Zhao Huanhuan was doing at home so late, but because Zhao Huanhuan had always been Ma Dong's favorite student, even if Zhao Huanhuan visited Ma Dong late at night, he didn't feel abrupt, but was very happy.
Ma Dong asked Zhao Huanhuan about her study and life after she reached junior high school, and asked her why she came to his house so late to find him.
Zhao Huanhuan is Ma Dong's favorite student because she has very good math scores.
During a period of review time before the primary school graduation exam, Zhao Huanhuan was able to score 100 points in every math test.
Ma Dong always sat next to Zhao Huanhuan every time he took the exam, and as soon as Zhang Huanhuan finished the exam paper, he scored 100 points on Zhao Huanhuan's exam paper, because when Zhao Huanhuan did the exam paper, Ma Dong had already helped her finish the check, and every time Zhao Huanhuan was able to answer all the math questions correctly.
Ma Dong served as Zhao Huanhuan's fourth and fifth grade math teacher.
During class, Ma Dong always looked in the direction of Zhao Huanhuan to explain the topic. Once, because Ma Dong was too involved in watching Zhao Huanhuan explain the topic, he didn't notice a chair next to him. The chair smashed his leg as he stepped back.
On one occasion, the school organized a choir competition, and each class had to choose a conductor to conduct the chorus of the class.
Ma Dong wanted to recommend Zhao Huanhuan to the head teacher as the conductor of the class chorus, but because Ma Dong was only a math teacher, according to convention, the Chinese teacher was the head teacher, and the head teacher was qualified to choose who would be the conductor, so Ma Dong did not have this power.
The head teacher is a snob. He must have preferred another student from a family background in the class to be the class leader. And a child from a poor family like Zhao Huanhuan, no matter how good her academic performance is, she will not have the opportunity to be in the limelight.
Zhao Huanhuan will always remember that when the head teacher appointed another girl with a background to be the class commander, Ma Dong looked back at him, his eyes were full of sadness and self-blame.
Mr. Ma, because your look at that time was enough to warm one of your students for a lifetime, every time I remember it, there is a warm current flowing through my heart.
Shang Haiou, as Ma Dong's wife, has a good impression of Zhao Huanhuan because her husband loves Zhao Huanhuan, a student.
When Zhao Huanhuan was in elementary school, Shang Haiou also personally helped Zhao Huanhuan comb her hair.
Zhao Feiyan is Zhao Huanhuan's sister and Shang Haiou's student, but Shang Haiou does not know the relationship between Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Huanhuan.
Because of Zhao Feiyan's bad grades, Shang Haiou instinctively looked down on Zhao Feiyan.
Zhao Feiyan's grades were poor, and Shang Haiou often hit Zhao Feiyan on the head with a pencil case.
Both teachers are good teachers. Zhao Huanhuan can't blame Shang Haiou for anything.
At this time, facing the two teachers, Zhao Huanhuan said: "Teacher Ma and Teacher Zhao Feiyan are my sister, my own sister. Zhao Huanhuan emphasized.
"Zhao Feiyan is your sister, is it your sister?" Shang Haiou thought it was incredible.
Zhao Huanhuan said calmly: "Yes." ”
Shang Haiou was surprised, of course Zhao Huanhuan understood. Zhao Huanhuan is a scholar, but Zhao Feiyan is a scumbag, with the same father and mother, but the gap between the two in learning ability is so big. Even if it wasn't Shang Haiou, another teacher would have such a surprised attitude.
"My sister's grades are not good, so let you bother Teacher Shang. I'm sorry for your trouble, Mr. Shang. ”
Zhao Huanhuan also worked as a teacher in his last life. I understand the role of a teacher very well. In the school, the teaching performance has to be evaluated, and the students in the class have failed in the exams and are ranked low in the grades, and the teachers who naturally teach the class also feel very shameless. However, sometimes a student's poor performance in the exam is not necessarily caused by the poor quality of the teacher, but probably because the quality of the student's students is not good enough.
For example, Ma Dong can teach Zhao Huanhuan's math scores to always full scores, but if he becomes Zhao Feiyan's teacher, he may not be able to teach such good results, which is the difference in teaching quality and teaching effect caused by different students.
told Zhao Huanhuan about his sisterhood with Zhao Feiyan, and Ma Dong understood something.
He said to Zhao Huanhuan: "You came to the teacher's house so late to let Teacher Shang take more care of your sister, right?" ”
Ma Dong said and glanced at Shang Haiou: "Although Teacher Shang is a little stricter in teaching, he is still very caring, since Feiyan is your sister, Teacher Shang will definitely take more care of Feiyan in the future, but ......"
Ma Dong paused: "Huanhuan, your sister's academic performance is indeed not ideal, I have also heard Teacher Shang usually nagged at home, but we don't know that Feiyan is your sister."
Your academic performance is so good, you usually need to help your sister more at home. ”
What Ma Dong said about helping is tutoring.
In the 90s, cram schools were not popular in small towns, because there were still many poor families at this time, and it was not easy for many people to pay tuition fees, let alone spend more money on tuition fees to send students to the teacher's home for tutoring, so teachers lived very poorly, living on a salary of 100 yuan a month.
"Teacher Ma, I understand what you said, but I'm in junior high school, and I don't have time for academic tension."
So what to do? Ma Dong was also embarrassed.
He knows the situation of Zhao Huanhuan's family, the poor parents in the family are illiterate, and Zhao Huanhuan's good academic performance is entirely due to Zhao Huanhuan's own intelligence and acquired efforts.
Zhao Huanhuan took out 500 yuan from his pocket and put it on the table of Ma Dong's house and said, "Teacher, this money is for you." ”
Ma Dong and Shang Seagull looked at each other, feeling incredible, I don't know where this child got so much money, and what is he doing with the money to their house?
Zhao Huanhuan explained: "Teacher, don't panic, this money is my own, not stolen or robbed, it's all my own, and it's absolutely clean." ”
"You can put your money away quickly." Ma Dong urged, and Shang Haiou was also nervous.
"I wanted to ask the teacher to help my sister with her homework."
Zhao Huanhuan said: "My sister's academic performance is not good, I have to study myself, usually there are a lot of chores and I don't have time to take care of my sister's academic performance, Teacher Shang is my sister's Chinese teacher and class teacher, Teacher Ma, is an excellent math teacher in the school, if you two are willing to help my sister with her homework, I think my sister's academic performance will be able to improve greatly."
If the two teachers can improve my sister's academic performance, I will not lose two teachers in terms of labor fees, this 500 yuan is a deposit, if my sister can get a good score in the final exam, then I will thank the two teachers. ”
Ma Dong and Shang Seagull had to shirk again, but Zhao Huanhuan insisted on leaving the money. The two sides also reached an agreement.
Every day, Zhao Feiyan doesn't go home after school, follows Shang Haiou home first, and then goes home after finishing homework and tutoring.
