43. A small fritter
Zhang Desheng's family lives not far away, less than five minutes away, this is a very high-end residential community, each family is a two-story villa with a single courtyard. After Zhang Desheng parked the car, Qian Xiaoying got out of the car and asked Zhang Desheng an important question that he didn't have time to ask just now.
"Mr. Zhang, I want to know, why did those teachers resign in the past?"
"Oh, alas," Zhang Desheng sighed: "Dalong is used to being free and loose, so he naturally doesn't want anyone to take care of him, the teacher is here, he doesn't give a good face, and he often plays tricks on others, who can stand it, later, the teacher has changed a lot, and he has become a small fritter, and he can't mix anything, so Mr. Xiaoqian, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
Hearing Zhang Desheng say this, Qian Xiaoying couldn't help but feel nervous.
Entering Zhang Desheng's house, a middle-aged woman with low eyebrows and obedient eyes walked up quickly, Zhang Desheng introduced her and Qian Xiaoying, the woman was called "Sister-in-law He" by Zhang Desheng, and she was the nanny of the family. Qian Xiaoying nodded politely to Sister-in-law He to say hello, and Zhang Desheng asked Sister-in-law He to go upstairs and ask her son Dalong to come down to see Qian Xiaoying, the new teacher.
After a while, a teenage boy came down from upstairs, walked to Zhang Desheng with his head down, only raised his eyes and glanced at Qian Xiaoying timidly, and then lowered his head to fiddle with an Ultraman doll in his hand. Qian Xiaoying looked at Dalong and was a little confused, because she couldn't connect the extremely well-behaved boy with white skin, delicate facial features, and smooth hair in front of her with the naughty bag in Zhang Desheng's mouth.
"Son, didn't you say that the teacher didn't teach well last time, and you can't learn? Dad has hired a good teacher for you this time," Zhang Desheng pointed at Qian Xiaoying, "This is Teacher Xiaoqian, let's say hello." ”
Dalong raised his head again and glanced at Qian Xiaoying, and whispered politely, "Teacher Xiaoqian is good." ”
"Hello!" Qian Xiaoying responded happily.
"Son," Zhang Desheng stroked Da Long's shoulder and asked him, "Teacher Xiaoqian will come to give you the first lesson today, do you need to prepare?" ”
Dalong shook his head slightly, indicating no.
"Well, then you can take Mr. Xiaoqian to your room." Zhang Desheng nodded and said.
"Teacher Xiaoqian, please come with me." Dalong glanced at Qian Xiaoying, and walked straight up the stairs after speaking.
"Mr. Zhang," Qian Xiaoying hurriedly stood up and said to Zhang Desheng, "Then I'll go up." ”
"Okay Teacher Xiaoqian," Zhang Desheng also stood up, "I have to go out in a while, I may come back late, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you." ”
"No, no, no!" Qian Xiaoying waved her hands straight, "I'll just take the bus back by myself!" ”
"It's too late, it's not convenient for you to take the bus by yourself," Zhang Desheng said, "I'll give you an extra 20 yuan for each class, and you can take a taxi back." ”
"Oh no, really not!" Although Qian Xiaoying was refusing, she was very happy in her heart, this is undoubtedly a generous owner, her luck came, and she bumped into a good job.
"Teacher Xiaoqian, don't be polite," Zhang Desheng said with a smile: "If you can really help me teach Dalong well, I will give you a big red envelope every semester!" ”
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will do my best! I'm up. Qian Xiaoying looked at Zhang Desheng and nodded vigorously, and then turned around and went upstairs with confidence.
Qian Xiaoying went up to the second floor and found Dalong waiting for her in the corridor. At this time, Da Long's face was expressionless, and he was like the little boy downstairs who looked well-behaved and shy, and when he saw Qian Xiaoying coming up, he didn't say anything, turned around and walked straight to the door of a room and pushed the door in. Qian Xiaoying was quite happy, thinking that Dalong was a thoughtful and sensible child, afraid that she would not be able to find his room, so she came out to wait for herself, thinking like this, she had followed Dalong into the room.
Dalong walked to the desk and sat down, took out the book, and put on a posture of preparing to listen to Qian Xiaoying's lecture. Qian Xiaoying pulled a chair next to her, sat down beside Da Long, and said to Da Long kindly: "Da Long, tell the teacher that you ...... the three subjects of mathematics, Chinese and foreign languages."
"By the way, Teacher Xiao Qian," before Qian Xiaoying could finish speaking, Da Long suddenly stood up and interrupted her, "You wait for me, I'll be back right away if I have something." ”
Qian Xiaoying didn't know why, so she had to agree. Dalong walked out of the room, Qian Xiaoying looked around casually, this room is about 15 square meters, one wall is painted with forest monkey cartoons, near the window on one side of the exquisite wrought iron single bed, on the other side against the wall is a bookshelf, stacked with a lot of children's books and magazines, next to the bookshelf there are two large cardboard boxes, which are full of all kinds of toys, and some toys are scattered on the floor and bed, which looks messy.
After less than ten minutes, Dalong came back, he closed the door, sat back on the chair, looked at Qian Xiaoying and said, "Teacher Xiaoqian, you can start." ”
"Oh," Qian Xiaoying adjusted her mood and entered the work state, "Dalong, can you tell the teacher, which science is the most difficult now?" ”
"Mathematics."
"Well, let's make up the math tonight, okay?"
"Okay." Dalong nodded.
"You can show me the math book and the homework left by the teacher today." Qian Xiaoying said.
Dalong picked out a math book from a stack of books on the table, opened a homework book, and pointed out the homework problems to Qian Xiaoying. Qian Xiaoying read it first, and then asked Dalong questions that he couldn't do, and explained it carefully. Dalong bowed his head very cooperatively, as if listening, and as if absent-minded, after a while, a faint sound of closing the door came, Dalong sighed, and pushed away the homework book in front of him.
Qian Xiaoying looked at Da Long suspiciously, not knowing what he meant, Da Long put his right index finger to his mouth, signaling her not to make a sound, then stood up and walked to the door to open the door, and shouted outside, "Sister-in-law He, is my dad gone?" ”
"Let's go." Sister-in-law He's voice came from downstairs.
Dalong closed the door, walked back to the desk and said to Qian Xiaoying, "Teacher Qian, shall we take a break?" ”
"Are you tired?" Qian Xiaoying frowned, she didn't want to agree, but when she saw Dalong looking at her pitifully, her heart softened, "Okay, since you're tired, then let's take a break, but the teacher has to tell you, we only studied for less than half an hour just now, it's not right to rest at this time, don't take an example, we have to study for fifty-five minutes before we can rest in the future, okay?" ”
"Teacher Xiao Qian, can you go to the living room and sit for a while, and then come in when I call you?" Dalong answered the question.
"What are you going to do?" Qian Xiaoying was puzzled, but immediately figured it out, "Oh, you want to change your clothes, right?" ”
Dalong's eyes flashed with excitement, and he nodded vigorously.
"Oh know, then I'll go down and wait, you have to hurry up, there are still a lot of questions to talk about."
Qian Xiaoying stood up and just walked out of the door, there was a "bang" behind her, Qian Xiaoying looked back at the closed door, walked down the stairs with a puzzled face, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Sister-in-law He, who was cleaning, glanced at Qian Xiaoying, and when the two looked at each other, Sister-in-law He hurriedly turned her head and continued to do her work, looking a little uncomfortable. Qian Xiaoying became more and more confused, because she felt that Dalong and Sister-in-law He were different from Zhang Desheng when they were there, but she couldn't tell what was different.
"Sister-in-law He, you've been working here for a long time, haven't you?" Qian Xiaoying took the initiative to talk to Sister-in-law He, she thought that learning more about the situation of this family would be beneficial to her future work.
"yes, it's been many years." Sister-in-law He said.
"Oh...... How many years have Mr. Zhang and his wife been divorced? ”
Sister-in-law He smiled and didn't speak when she heard this, Qian Xiaoying realized that she was a little reckless, "I'm sorry, Sister-in-law He, I shouldn't have asked you about this kind of thing." ”
"It's okay." Sister-in-law He said.
"Sister-in-law He, Mr. Zhang told me that Dalong is quite naughty, but I think Dalong is very well-behaved?"
Hearing Qian Xiaoying's question, Sister-in-law He stopped what she was doing, thought about it and said, "Actually, Dalong ...... He's a good boy......
"Teacher Qian......" Dalong shouted upstairs.
"Here we go!" Qian Xiaoying agreed, nodded to Sister-in-law He, and walked upstairs quickly.
