Chapter 16 Perfect Part-time

Before the next storm, everything will return to a brief period of calm.

Si Li's anxious report also passed the test safely after several days and nights of struggle.

After that, there seemed to be nothing to worry about. Even the love for Mu Qing, because of that martial arts competition, he was defeated, and since then he has dispelled any desire. He shouldn't be interested in that girl anymore.

Therefore, in a trance, more than a month has passed since the second semester.

Until he suddenly got tired of the single switching mode between study, entertainment and rest, and wanted to find something to do.

Early in the morning, just after breakfast, he came to the propaganda board downstairs in the dormitory. The billboards in the name of public welfare have been pasted beyond recognition by countless part-time advertisements. Part-time jobs such as handing out flyers, running errands, and selling supermarkets are allowing contemporary college students to pass the time and earn some living expenses, and to let them feel the taste of entering the society in advance. Si Li is also thinking about finding a part-time job to enrich her life. But in the face of the dazzling small advertisements for part-time jobs, he paced for a long time and still couldn't make up his mind.

"Fourth, what are you looking at?" Wu Di's appearance interrupted Si Li's train of thought.

"I'm looking for a part-time job." Slim replied as she continued to search the bulletin board for work.

"None of the above, I've done it all." Wu Di patted Si Li on the shoulder, signaling that there was no need for him to waste time here.

"You've got it all?" Si Li finally turned her head and looked at Wu Di very suspiciously.

"Or else? How dare I talk casually. The part-time job above is tiring and tiring at the end of the day. The treatment is said to be a daily settlement, and it will make you uncomfortable if you don't drag you for half a month or think of reasons to deduct points. Last time I went to work in that supermarket sales. I stood stunned for a day, regardless of whether I was given food or not, and in the end, the manager inexplicably moved out and deducted half of my salary for the reason that the sales performance was less than 50 bottles. Say 100 to 50. Pit! That day, I had almost 50 yuan just for food and car. It's really bad-function to get you in vain. The more Wu Di spoke, the more angry he became, and the more Si Li listened, the more he wanted to laugh.

"No wonder lately, you've been out of the dorm a lot. Make a lot of money and go ha. By the way, you should take me with you. What do you recommend? Although she couldn't hide her smile, Si Li still sincerely hoped that Wu Di could show him the way forward based on her personal experience, so that he could quickly find a satisfactory job. Wu Di's family background is not very good, and after he went to college, his living expenses were a little more than 500 per month, and sometimes his parents would delay a little time before the money could be transferred to him. In order to subsidize his life, he took up a part-time job. Although everyone knows about this, what Si Li never expected was that he was so desperate. In just a few weeks, he had finished trying out all the work on the billboard.

"Can it be considered a lot of money? You and Zhang Wei are both big families, and you are ridiculing us poor people? I do have a suggestion, though. Didn't you win a national award in physics when you were in high school? You should try this part-time job as a tutor. After speaking, Wu Di pulled Si Li into a tutor part-time exchange group.

Speaking of being a big brother, Wu Di is really competent. Even Si Li's award he remembers clearly. Sili nodded gratefully, and adjusted the smile on her face from a sneering gesture to a happy one. At Si Li's request, the two of them chose a pier and sat down. Then, he kept looking for it in the group announcements, and asked Wu Di's opinion from time to time.

"That's it." After about half an hour, with the help of Wu Di, Sili finally finalized several suitable tutoring jobs and sent her profile and job search intentions to the relevant clients. In return, Sili invited Wu Di to the cafeteria and rubbed a yellow stewed chicken feast.

After waiting anxiously for a long time, Sili received the first reply from the client at 8:30 p.m. The contact person was a middle-aged man who identified himself as Mr. Lin. The tutor's client is his daughter Lin Xin. Lin Xin is just a freshman in high school this year. Because she liked biology, she chose science. But the physics and chemistry subjects included in science are like nightmares for her, especially physics. She struggled to study, and she often got the bottom grades in this subject. Therefore, Mr. Lin came up with the idea of improving his daughter's grades in physics through one-on-one tutoring.

Through the phone, Mr. Lin inquired about the relevant situation, expressed his approval of Si Li, who has a deep knowledge base, and agreed to come to his house on Sunday for a trial lecture.

A good start is often accompanied by awkward things. Sili wanted to be a picky customer, but he became a pickled cabbage. After this call, no new reply was received.

That meant he only had one chance. So, in the next few days, Si Li had to prepare for the exam in between eating, drinking, and having fun. Then, his life seemed to be a lot fuller, and he felt like he was back in high school.

In the blink of an eye, it was the appointed time. The client's home is about 4 kilometers away from the school, and the subway is 3 stops away and you have to change trains once.

It was 7:30 a.m. when I went out, and it was already 8:30 a.m. when I arrived at the customer's neighborhood.

Lin Xin's home is in an old neighborhood. The age of the community should be more than 20 years, and the outer walls are covered with moss. From a distance, it is lush and has a unique charm. In the community, the clutter of intertwined wires has witnessed the mottling of time, and the small holes formed by rust on the roof of the bicycle shed have cut the warm spring sun into beams of light and shadow. Where the light and shadow shine, the unknown grass stands like stars in the spotlight, and it is still alive despite thousands of steps. Under the eaves of the old buildings, children are chasing and playing, full of immaturity and innocence, and their carefree life makes them laugh endlessly. And the old people are playing chess in a pile. My grandfather, who likes to play chess, once said: When playing chess, there are two masters and a hundred strategists. No, the scene in front of me confirms this: at each chess table are two old chess players and more than 10 onlookers. Among the onlookers were women whose aprons had not yet been removed, elderly people of the same age who had not had the opportunity to show off their chess skills, and a few young people who had been able to relax for some reason. Some of these people are speechless; while others are crossing their hands in front of their chests, constantly waiting for mistakes in the chess game; There are also measures that go too far, and simply step forward to take the lead on their behalf.

At this time, this scene gives people a sense of peace and warmth. Si Li began to envy the life here.

The girl's house is on the fourth floor. There was no elevator in the previous complex. Because of the abundance of time, Si Li stroked the cement handrail with a sense of age and walked slowly. He stroked the powdered walls of the stairway and looked at the various small advertisements. Because there are no windows, the corridor looks very dark and damp, and there are a few water stains in the corners. Unlike the old corridors, there are wall lamps that bring light. Although it is a copper lampshade and a glass ball lamp, it is endowed with intelligent voice control function. The warmth of humanity is revealed in the light that can be awakened even by the slightest sound of footsteps.

After sighing, Si Li came to Lin Xin's door.

The one who opened the door to Si Li was a gray-haired grandmother. After a brief exchange of information, the grandmother greeted her warmly and summoned her granddaughter out.

When Si Li sat down, a girl about 1.55 meters tall and wearing pajamas and ponytails stepped out of the room. On the rare weekend vacation, the girl lazily threw out a sentence of "good teacher" to Sili and went out to buy breakfast.

"This is my granddaughter Xinxin, and it is really hard for the teacher to come to us from far away to teach my granddaughter Xinxin. Her parents weren't together when she was in kindergarten and followed me as a child. Although my family is smart, she is naughty and not serious. I don't pay attention to the lectures in class, and I can't keep up with my homework. I am a farmer who does not understand culture, and her father also does business outside all the year round. So I want to ask the teacher to help us privately and make up for her again. The grandmother, who thought her granddaughter was very impolite, hurriedly diverted the awkward atmosphere by introducing herself. At the same time, he also made a cup of steaming tea for Si Li.

Silly listened and looked around. Lin Xin's house is three bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. The area is about 150 square meters. Grandma, Mr. Lin and Lin Xin each slept in a house. The living room and dining room are integrated, although the traditional décor is a little old and yellowish. But under the old man's tidying, it looks very comfortable and tidy and has a sense of age. The wine on the wine rack and the solid wood sofa under the butt are all understated expressions of the family's wealth.

"When Xin Xin first went to kindergarten, her father was deceived in business and owed a lot of money. Her mother couldn't stand the poor life, so she went to be a mother-in-law for others. Later, my son survived. But he still only thinks about how to make money so that Xin Xin can live a better life, so he has no time and no longer wants to go to his mother-in-law. Also, Xin Xin doesn't want her father to find a stepmother for her, and she says that she is the same mother. I guess her mother's departure made her so sad. And when the divorce was born, the child was still young, and without his mother's care, the child was very willful from then on, and he often talked to others inappropriately. Her father said that he had learned about you and was very satisfied with your situation, so he was relieved to invite the teacher to come. The teacher has to bother to help me, an old man. Seeing that Sili was curious about everything in the house, the old grandmother explained with a smile on her face. The non-standard words were mixed with dialects, but they could still make Si Li hear clearly. Moreover, it can be seen from grandma's words that Mr. Lin, who loves his daughter deeply, has already touched Sili's family background. This includes information about family, school, major, tutoring experience, and more. Although there is zero tutoring experience, the national awards are enough to package it in a star-studded and convincing package.

Silly nodded, and just as she was about to answer something, the door opened. Lin Xin walked in with two portions of pasta and two cups of soy milk.

"Teacher, let's have breakfast." Lin Xin, who is not very sincere, has the same immature and sweet voice as his little sister.

"No thanks. I've eaten it. When she replied, Sili was a little embarrassed. In Si Li's eyes, girls of the same age and temperament as his little sister are little witches. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a trace of fear in my heart. Could this be another abrasive goblin?

"It's rude, and you don't ask the teacher what he likes to eat?" The grandmother harshly criticized her granddaughter, who was munching on her face.

"My dad just let me buy it, and he didn't let me ask." Lin Xin's quibble instantly made Si Li burst into laughter.

Seeing that the atmosphere was so relaxed, the grandmother went to play cards with great confidence. When he came, he also instructed: "Teacher, then I won't bother you." If you have any questions or needs, just ask her to call me. Lin Xin! You have to listen well. If the teacher is satisfied, I will make you the meatballs you like. ”

In Lin Xin's extended version of "Got it......", the door is gently closed by the grandmother.

Now, only Si Li, who watched Lin Xin eat breakfast, and Lin Xin, who watched a video while eating breakfast, were left in the living room. There is a very friendly and warm silence and distance between the two.

After about ten minutes, Lin Xin finally finished breakfast.

"Teacher, wait for me to change into a nice outfit first. Wait, don't peek. After cleaning up the dining table, Lin Xin fled back to the room and slammed the door shut. Si Li was very distressed in her heart: How can I peek when you lock the door, are women talking so domineering?

In anticipation, Sili waited tormentedly for 3 minutes. Lin Xin's door finally opened half a crack.

"Teacher, you can come in." Si Li's order to enter Lin Xin's boudoir came through the crack in the door. Silly got up and straightened her clothes, then walked in with her bag.

Xinxin's room was filled with a strong little princess atmosphere. The walls, small beds, bookcases, wardrobes, etc. are all pink, and even the huge solid wood desk has been pasted with pink stickers. Xin Xin, who was dressed casually, was sitting at his desk playing a mobile game at this time.

"Teacher, let's make three chapters of the law. You just come to help me finish my homework and answer my questions, and do the rest of the things I want, just don't bother me. Seeing Sili walk in, Xin Xin played with his mobile phone while commanding the army.

"Yes, you can, but you'll have to follow my method for an hour. Other times, I will follow your arrangement, only assist you, and never disturb you. "Silly will do what it takes.

Xin Xin turned her head sideways to look at Si Li with a question mark on her face, and Si Li smiled.

"First of all, you have to put your phone away. Then start my devil training first. ”

Under the education of Si Li's chattering values, Xin Xin finally put down her mobile phone. Start learning the way you want to learn.

The main purpose of today is to find out the basic skills of Xin Xin. In the 10-minute Q&A at the physics test center in the first year of high school, Si Li basically understood her situation. Judging from the results, Xin Xin belongs to the kind of students who have a weak foundation and are too self-confident.

Prescribe the right medicine to cure the disease, and Si Li, who was prepared, took out the history test point of the first year of high school from his bag. From the drawing technique, it can be seen how carefully Si Li prepared.

"I have 50 minutes left. From now on, you will be given 20 minutes to understand and memorize the above test points. When the time is up, I will come up with two questions to check the effectiveness of your learning. If you answer incorrectly, you will be punished for copying the formula involved in solving the problem 50 times. This is the way of learning that Si Li loves, first to understand the knowledge related to memory, then to apply and practice it in the way of doing problems, and finally to deepen the memory through the form of punishment.

"In less than 20 minutes, I've learned all of this. Let's get straight to the question! Xin Xin's source of self-confidence is very inexplicable, obviously she didn't know anything in the Q&A session just now, but now she looks confident.

Such a dialogue scene seems familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, Si Li came to his senses: Isn't this the self of his first year of high school? At that time, he was so consistent with his words and deeds at this time. At that time, the teacher ignored him, and calmly used two very basic and simple questions to hit his self-confidence. It was precisely this unaccustomed teaching method that allowed Si Li to find his own shortcomings in physics and calm his mind, which made him win the national award in the competition in his sophomore year of high school.

Since he has a gourd, why doesn't he draw a scoop according to it? Therefore, he was not used to the students in front of him, and quickly took away the picture and then picked up the pen and asked the question.

After a while, the pen stopped. After he put it in front of Xinxin, he pointed to the timer on his phone: "Two questions, 20 minutes." Now the timer begins! ”

Xin Xin estimated that it was the first time she had seen such a tutoring method, but she didn't say much and began to work on the questions seriously.

There is a symbiotic coexistence contradiction of self-confidence and carelessness flowing in self-willed children. If Si Li is like this, Xin Xin can't escape this law.

After only about 10 minutes, Xin Xin, who used less than half a page of scratch paper, had already finished the question.

"Don't check the check?" What the teacher had said to her before was copied by Si Li.

And what I got was Xin Xin's similar casual spread and shook his head, without a trace of hesitation.

Not surprisingly, after Si Li's correction, the process of solving the two questions not only had calculation errors, but also used the wrong formulas.

"According to the agreement, after I finish explaining it, you will have to copy each of these two formulas 50 times. It's up to you. There was a smack of sarcasm in Sili's words. Xin Xin can understand it, but he can only grit his teeth and be conceited.

Because of this teaching mode, the teacher-student relationship between the two has been shortened. Lin Xin behaved very seriously in the subsequent explanation session, and his handwriting was neat when he was punished.

And just like that, the time that belonged to Si Li in the first tutoring ended. The remaining 40 minutes are spent writing something like a diary. As for what was written, Slim had no way of knowing.

At 11:30 a.m., the two-hour tutoring work came to a perfect end. After arriving at the point, the grandmother had not returned. Xin Xin called her grandmother and dad respectively.

Si Li, who waited in the room for an answer, was on pins and needles.

Two minutes later, Xin Xin poked half of her head through the door, and then said to Si Li very cutely, "Teacher, I told my father and grandma that it was you." ”

It seems that he succeeded: "I also think that I can teach you well, and your physics grades will improve a lot." ”

After agreeing on the next tutoring time, Sili was as happy as the birds flying happily in the blue sky after leaving the door.

With this state of mind, he is full of sunshine today, sweeping away the haze brought by the activities of the previous days.
