Chapter Twenty-Three
If someone else said this, Shen Yan would never have agreed, after all, he had just come into contact with this neighbor on the fourth floor.
But if it was Lin Qi, Shen Yan hesitated.
Lin Qi exudes an atmosphere of knowledge and courtesy from the inside out.
It feels a bit like a young male teacher in Xiaoqian's school.
After thinking about it again, Shen Yan still agreed.
repeatedly told Xiaoqian to write her homework with peace of mind and not to be naughty.
Lin Qi even took the initiative to provide his phone number and ID card, and Shen Yan was completely relieved.
Brought Xiaoqian to the house, Xiaoqian curiously touched here and there to see.
"Wow, Brother Lin Qi, your keyboard is so beautiful!"
"It's completely different from the black and black keyboard in our school computer room!"
"There's a beautiful sister painted on it."
"Ahem......"
Lin Qi didn't expect that Xiao Qian's first evaluation was actually his own keyboard.
The keycaps on it were indeed personally chosen by him plus installed by himself, as for the paper man's wife...... Isn't that pretty?
After vacating the desk for Xiaoqian, Lin Qi began to sort out the things he bought today.
Then he saw the two cups of sundaes, which were about to melt.
"Shhh
"Xiaoqian, do you eat sundaes?"
"Eat!" Xiaoqian's answer did not delay in the slightest.
The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard the word sundae.
"It's a little melty, I'll go and freeze it in the refrigerator, and I should be able to eat it after finishing my homework."
"Uh-huh! I'll finish my homework right away! ”
Xiao Qian immediately picked up the pen and began to write, completely without the previous sad appearance of not being able to write.
This stupid girl, no matter how fast you write your homework, you can't help the refrigerator freeze faster.
Lin Qi chuckled.
After sorting out the ingredients, Lin Qi had nothing to do for a while, so he moved a stool and sat next to Xiaoqian to watch her do her homework.
Xiaoqian's handwriting is very beautiful, and there is almost no habit of turning the pen down, and the sitting posture and pen holding action are also perfect.
Apparently rigorously trained.
The big eyes under the long eyelashes were full of concentration, and they were not affected by Lin Qi on the side in the slightest.
I don't know what the situation is at Xiaoqian's family, it seems that her father does not live with the mother and daughter, Xiaoqian's mother seems to be very frugal, and she doesn't seem to be in good health.
About 40 minutes later, Xiaoqian finished all her homework, and after Lin Qi helped her correct a few mistakes a little, the little girl excitedly put away her homework and began to look at Lin Qi with a blank eye.
Lin Qi smiled dumbly.
"It's not frozen yet, let's eat two biscuits first."
"No, I've already eaten up today's biscuits, and I won't be able to eat them until tomorrow!"
The little girl looked like she was calculating, and Lin Qi was funny and distressed when she saw it.
"Okay, well, I'll listen to you."
"Brother Lin Qi, what is the postgraduate entrance examination?"
Xiao Qian stared at the "Postgraduate Entrance Examination Vocabulary" on Lin Qi's desk and asked.
"Hmm...... Well, Xiaoqian, do you know college? ”
"I know! Elementary school is followed by junior high school, junior high school is followed by high school, and after high school is university! ”
"My mother said that after graduating from college, I can go to work, and then earn a lot of money, so I don't have to save money every day."
Xiao Qian counted with her fingers solemnly.
"Brother Lin Qi, did you go to college?"
"I've graduated from college."
"Really! It's amazing! No wonder Brother Lin Qi can afford to buy so many delicious foods. ”
Xiaoqian's head seems to be full of delicious melon seeds.
"But Brother Lin Qi, you still haven't told Xiaoqian, what is the graduate school entrance examination?"
The little girl seems to have very clear logic.
"Hmm...... Let's give Xiaoqian an example, if Xiaoqian finishes college, she will face two choices, one choice is to work, and the other option is to go to graduate school, become a graduate student, and continue to live and study in college for three years. ”
"Can I work and earn money after graduating from graduate school?"
"Of course you can, even Xiaoqian can continue to study and get a doctorate."
"However, they are all part-time jobs to earn money, so why do they need to study for so many more years?"
Xiaoqian's face was full of puzzlement.
Looking at Xiao Qian's innocent appearance, Lin Qi sighed in his heart.
"Xiaoqian, listen to me, the value of a person's life is never entirely for money, continue to study, gain more knowledge, and solve more puzzles in this world is also the way to realize the value of life."
"Xiaoqian can be a scientist, an artist, an athlete, and so on. There are so many paths for you to choose from, if you only think about working to earn money, wouldn't it be too monotonous? ”
Xiaoqian seemed to understand Lin Qi's words and fell into a short period of thought.
For Xiaoqian, her mind is too limited by her own family predicament, which is very detrimental to her future development.
Lin Qi can only slowly help her establish some frameworks, and it depends on herself how much she can understand.
"Xiaoqian, can I ask a question?"
"Yes."
"Where's your dad?"
"Xiaoqian's father is gone."
Xiao Qian unexpectedly didn't act sad, more like she was talking about an ordinary thing.
By the time Lin Qi noticed that Xiao Qian's hand hidden in his sleeve kept scratching the table when he said this.
The movement is faint, but the cocoon of scars that the little girl has built herself is clearly displayed.
Without saying anything more, Lin Jian helped the little girl comb her short and messy hair, and helped her slowly roll up her two sleeves to her elbows.
Touched her head:
"Let's go, the sundae is frozen, let's go eat the sundae."
……
Xiao Qian took a spoon and spooned the ice cream stained with matcha sauce into her mouth.
Every time I swallow, I squint with happiness.
"Delicious!"
"Xiaoqian, why did you go to the teacher's office today to make up your homework?"
"You didn't finish your homework so quickly, right?"
"Hmm...... It's because (swallowing) when we were in Chinese class today, the teacher asked us to copy words, and Xiaoqian's hand suddenly lost strength and couldn't hold the pen. ”
"But the teacher didn't believe it, saying I was deliberately pretending."
"But Xiaoqian really didn't pretend, my hands just suddenly had no strength, and I don't know what's going on."
Hearing this, Lin Qi frowned.
"Have you had it before?"
"Well, there was another time when I was taking an exam, Xiaoqian's hand was weak and she handed in a blank paper, and the teacher was very angry."
"Are there any other symptoms?"
"No, that's the only one."
"Does Xiaoqian sweat a lot?"
"Hmm...... Yes, every time the weather is hot, Xiaoqian sweats a lot. ”
Ion disorders.
It is common for patients with hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia to have weak hands due to frequent heavy sweating and low blood potassium in the body.
Lin Qi himself had this symptom when he was a child, and his parents didn't take their words seriously at that time.
Most of the teachers in the school lack knowledge of medical sciences and can easily deal with problems based on their own subjective assumptions.
Lin Qi suffered a lot of grievances in vain.
"Xiaoqian, if this happens again in the future, your teacher doesn't believe you, just ask her to call me, and I'll help you explain."
Xiao Qian looked at Lin Qi suspiciously, as if she was saying something very strange.
"Isn't it Xiaoqian's fault that his hands don't have strength?"
"Of course it's not Xiaoqian's fault."
……
"Brother Lin Qi, hasn't my mother been gone for a long time?"
Xiaoqian looked a little sleepy.
It's been a long time, so it can't be that something happened, right?
"I'll give you a call and ask."
Lin Qi found the Shen Yan number that he had saved just now.
"Hey, Xiaoqian's mother, haven't you found a store to unlock?"
"I found it, but ...... it"
Shen Yan's voice seemed to be a little anxious.
"You hurry up, if you can't open it, I won't open the stall."
A shrill male voice rang from the other end of the phone.
"Master, you can make it cheaper, the one near my house is usually 50 yuan is enough."
"50 bucks? Then you go find him! What are you doing here? ”
"That master didn't go to work today...... Master, you can do it, okay, three hundred yuan is too expensive. ”
"I said 300, 300, not a penny!"
"If you don't leave, go elsewhere, don't stop me from going home for dinner."
……
Just hearing these two sentences, Lin Qi already felt that his blood pressure was rising.
Is this a rip-off?
