Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua ultimately rented this small single room.

The rent was one month's deposit and one month's payment, totaling five hundred yuan.

After completing the rental procedures.

Wang Xiaohua moved his suitcase in, arranged the clothes and daily necessities he had brought, and then went outside to eat a pig trotter rice meal.

Toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, bamboo mat — he didn't need to buy any of those.

When he previously boarded at school, he still had some left over; he brought them along and could just use those directly.

The school beds were relatively small, ninety centimeters wide; his bamboo mat was also only ninety centimeters.

But the bed in this rental house was one point two meters wide.

The school bamboo mat was clearly unsuitable for the bed here.

But it didn't matter; making do with it would be fine.

Anyway, Wang Xiaohua lived alone, and he wouldn't sleep in such a large space anyway.

After finishing the pig trotter rice, the time was already past six in the afternoon.

Wang Xiaohua then went to a nearby convenience store to borrow a phone and called Niu Chunsheng.

Not having a mobile phone was indeed quite inconvenient; when he went to borrow a phone, people looked at him with strange eyes.

Once he had money, he would definitely buy a mobile phone first.

"Hello, who is this?"

He dialed several times before Niu Chunsheng answered.

He guessed this landline call had been mistaken by Niu Chunsheng for a sales promotion call, which was why he didn't answer immediately.

"Uncle Chunsheng, I'm Xiaohua."

"Xiaohua, have you come to the county town?"

"Mm, I've come."

"Then come to my house; eat at my place tonight."

"No need, Uncle Chunsheng; I've already eaten just now. I wanted to ask you, when do you want me to start tutoring your daughter?"

"Let's start tonight; come over and eat together, treat it like your own home, no need for politeness."

"I really have already eaten, and I've also rented a house."

"You even rented a house; I was thinking of having you stay at my place. Renting outside costs so much extra."

"It's fine, it's very cheap, two hundred something a month."

"This child, sigh, alright then; I won't force you. You finish your business, then come to my house."

"I'm already done; then I'll head over now; I'll be there very soon."

"Okay, then I'll have Lin Xin go downstairs to meet you."

Niu Chunsheng hung up the phone, unable to help a wry smile:

"That kid Xiaohua, he actually didn't tell me in advance and just went and rented a house outside."

"Isn't that better?" Lin Xiaofang let out a breath of relief. "He's a rural child; how could he get used to living in our house? Most importantly, Lin Xin has entered puberty too; if they were to spend day and night together, that wouldn't be too good."

"What are you thinking? They're both innocent children." Niu Chunsheng was somewhat speechless.

Lin Xiaofang, however, insisted on her view:

"This kind of thing must be guarded against; not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the one in ten thousand."

Niu Chunsheng stopped speaking.

Niu Linxin, on the other hand, had a face full of speechlessness:

"Mom, this is a bit insulting to me. Even if I were to fall in puppy love, it would be impossible with Wang Xiaohua, right? He's that short and that ugly; how could I possibly fancy him?"

Lin Xiaofang chuckled:

"It's best if you don't fancy him; I'm just afraid you will. Didn't you say before to have your classmate Wang Xiaoqian come over together to study with Wang Xiaohua? You go tell Wang Xiaoqian; in a bit, you and Wang Xiaoqian go to the gate together to meet Wang Xiaohua."

"I'll call her right now." Niu Linxin hurriedly walked into her room, took out her mobile phone, and called Wang Xiaoqian.

Walking from the rental house to the residential complex where Niu Chunsheng lived took about twenty minutes.

When he arrived at the residential complex's main gate, Niu Linxin was already there with Wang Xiaoqian, waiting at the gate for quite a while.

"Great talent, you've finally arrived!"

Niu Linxin put away her phone, her tone somewhat impatient.

It was very obvious that Wang Xiaohua had made her wait too long, causing her some displeasure.

"Very sorry; I walked over, so it delayed a bit of time."

Wang Xiaohua sensed Niu Linxin's displeasure and hurriedly apologized.

"It's fine; actually we haven't waited long."

Wang Xiaoqian had a face full of smiles and also said:

"Brother Xiaohua, whether Linxin and I can get into high school all depends on you! Whatever study secrets you have, you must pass them on to us without reservation!"

Wang Xiaohua said busily:

"Certainly, certainly; but I need to first understand your basic situations clearly, and then I can formulate study plans suitable for you."

Niu Linxin turned and left:

"Let's go, don't stand here talking, come to my home and we'll talk there."

The three of them walked into the residential complex together, took the elevator, went up to the eighth floor, and arrived at Niu Linxin's home.

The door had just opened.

Niu Linxin and Wang Xiaoqian walked straight in.

"Hello Auntie, hello Uncle!"

Wang Xiaoqian greeted Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang.

"Hello Auntie, hello Uncle!"

Wang Xiaohua also smiled and greeted them.

Lin Xiaofang hurried over:

"Just mopped the floor, put on shoe covers."

She took out shoe covers from inside the shoe cabinet, and only handed them to Wang Xiaohua.

She did not give any to Wang Xiaoqian and Niu Linxin.

She and her husband didn't wear them either.

Wang Xiaohua took all this in with his eyes, his sensitive heart trembling slightly.

However, he still put on a polite smiling face:

"Okay, okay."

He nodded, and put on the shoe covers.

Just like a simple, honest child who knows nothing.

It was Niu Chunsheng who had quite a bit of objection to Lin Xiaofang's behavior.

He glared at Lin Xiaofang, wanting to say something, but didn't speak up in front of Wang Xiaohua.

Because he knew, if he spoke up in front of Wang Xiaohua, it would hurt Wang Xiaohua's self-esteem even more.

"Xiaohua, stay for dinner!"

Niu Chunsheng smiled and invited Wang Xiaohua.

Wang Xiaohua looked at the table full of delicious food, saliva secretly flowing in his mouth.

But he still smiled and declined:

"No need, no need, you eat, I already ate before coming, I'm full, can't eat anymore."

Niu Chunsheng insisted demandingly:

"Just sit down together and taste a little, no need to be so polite!"

He also said to Lin Xiaofang:

"Hurry up and get a pair of bowl and chopsticks for Xiaohua!"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"Really no need, I can't eat anymore, Auntie don't go get them, you just eat yourselves."

Lin Xiaofang said to Niu Chunsheng:

"Xiaohua already said he's not eating, don't force him."

Niu Chunsheng felt displeased, but couldn't say anything.

"Xiaoqian, do you want to eat together?" Lin Xiaofang asked Wang Xiaoqian.

Wang Xiaoqian was just about to open her mouth and agree, but glanced at Wang Xiaohua and suddenly changed her words.

"No need, I already ate too."

She also took the initiative to walk over to Wang Xiaohua's side:

"Brother Xiaohua, how about I tell you about my study situation first, by the time I finish, Lin Xin will probably be done eating too, then it'll be her turn, this can save quite a bit of time."

"Sounds good." Wang Xiaohua nodded in agreement.

Niu Chunsheng couldn't help but sigh, he saw everything, knew everything, but couldn't say anything either.

"Then you two go to the study next door."

Lin Xiaofang said so.

"Okay, Auntie."

Wang Xiaohua and Wang Xiaoqian walked into the study together.

The study door had just closed, and Wang Xiaoqian said to Wang Xiaohua:

"Don't take it to heart, the first time I came to Lin Xin's home, her mom also made me wear shoe covers."

Wang Xiaohua laughed it off:

"How could I take it to heart, they promised me ten thousand yuan, what's wearing shoe covers, even if they made me wear a hazmat suit to come in, I'd have no complaints, this is a business transaction in itself."

Wang Xiaoqian immediately exclaimed:

"Wow, giving you that much money, Lin Xin's dad really has money!"
