Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua returned to his small rental house, took a cold shower, then began studying the Baoluo Guide.

Now it was June 23rd, and the college entrance exam scores would be released on June 25th.

In other words, there were only two days left until the college entrance exam scores came out.

So he had to seize the time and quickly study the matter of filling out his application preferences.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Wang Xiaohua bought several steamed buns and a cup of soy milk from a roadside stall outside, then ate breakfast while rushing to Niu Chunsheng's home.

When he left last night, he had agreed with the Niu family that he would come at eight o'clock this morning to tutor Niu Lin Xin.

Now it was seven-thirty in the morning, and there was still plenty of time.

When he reached the entrance of the residential complex where Niu Chunsheng's home was located, Wang Xiaohua had finished his breakfast.

He found a trash can, threw the plastic bag that held the buns and the paper cup that held the soy milk into the trash can, then went upstairs again.

He pressed the doorbell.

The one who opened the door was Niu Chunsheng.

"Xiao Hua, good morning. Have you eaten breakfast? If not, let's eat together."

Wang Xiaohua smiled politely:

"Good morning, Uncle Chunsheng. I ate on the way here. You all eat yourselves; just trouble me for a pair of shoe covers."

"No need to wear shoe covers, just come in directly," Niu Chunsheng said hurriedly.

But Wang Xiaohua said:

"I want them, I want them. Otherwise, if I dirty the floor, Aunt Xiaofang will probably be unhappy."

Hearing these words, Niu Chunsheng's expression became complex, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"Fine then."

He knew Wang Xiaohua was deliberately keeping his distance from his family.

Now it was fine; he had originally wanted to get closer to Wang Xiaohua, but his wife had done this, and now it really was just a business relationship.

Wang Xiaohua put on shoe covers and walked into the Living Room, only to see Lin Xiaofang and Niu Lin Xin, mother and daughter, eating breakfast at the Dining Table.

Wang Xiaohua greeted them, then went honestly into the Study to wait for Niu Lin Xin.

Niu Lin Xin dawdled through breakfast before coming to the Study.

"Xiaoqian hasn't even come yet; why did you come so early?"

Niu Lin Xin's displeasure was all on her face.

It was obvious she didn't want to start studying so early.

Now it was Summer Vacation, and studying so early—what meaning was there to Summer Vacation?

"Your father paid me my Salary, so I must go to Attendance on time; that's called basic professionalism," Wang Xiaohua said.

Niu Lin Xin stuck out her Tongue:

"You're such a stiff person. If you came a bit later, my dad definitely wouldn't blame you, and you don't know how to slack off a bit."

Wang Xiaohua chuckled:

"Your family conditions are so superior, slacking off a bit doesn't matter, but I'm different. I was afraid of poverty since childhood, and I deeply know my life is a process of climbing from the bottom of the valley to the top of the Mountain. A little slackening, and I might fall back into the valley, so there is no word 'slacking off' in my dictionary."

"It's not a Formal job, just a Summer Job, so why take it so seriously?" Niu Lin Xin was simply speechless.

"Any job is the same," Wang Xiaohua said.

But Niu Lin Xin spread her hands: "I don't care. I'll play two rounds of games first, and study together when Xiaoqian comes. Don't disturb me."

Wang Xiaohua smiled and let it go:

"Fine."

Niu Lin Xin was Stunned:

"You agreed so easily?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"This is your own choice, so naturally I won't interfere. Even if you don't study for the whole Summer Vacation, I have no Opinion. I'm only responsible for teaching; whether you learn or not is your business."

Niu Lin Xin immediately showed happiness:

"That's what you said yourself. You'd better not tell on me to my parents!"

After speaking, Niu Lin Xin opened her Mobile Phone and started playing the mobile game Protect the Radish.

Wang Xiaohua had no Opinion about this.

He was speaking sincerely.

Whether to study or not was Niu Lin Xin's own business.

She didn't want to study, so Wang Xiaohua had no Choice.

Wang Xiaohua even took the initiative to keep watch for Niu Lin Xin.

When Niu Chunsheng came in, Wang Xiaohua coughed softly twice.

"Cough, cough."

Niu Lin Xin immediately understood, hurriedly put away her Mobile Phone, and put on the appearance of seriously doing problems at her desk.

"Xin'er, Dad is going to Attendance. Study well with Xiao Hua at home, and don't slack off."

"Got it? Don't come bother me, I'm working on a really hard math problem right now, you're making it impossible for me to concentrate and think!"

Niu Lin Xin's acting skills were simply top-tier; that look of hers frowning in thought simply didn't look like acting at all.

Wang Xiaohua watched, inwardly crying and laughing at the same time; this guy not going into acting was simply a waste of talent.

"Then you focus on your problem, Dad won't disturb you anymore. Xiaohua, Lin Xin's studies, I'll have to trouble you with them!" Niu Chunsheng cast a grateful look at Wang Xiaohua.

"Uncle, you go ahead, I'll definitely do my duty properly."

Wang Xiaohua's words seemed flawless on the surface, but upon closer thought, one would discover that doing one's duty properly didn't necessarily mean Niu Lin Xin would achieve academic success.

Not long after Niu Chunsheng left, Wang Xiaoqian arrived late.

"Very sorry, I'm late."

Wang Xiaoqian hurriedly put down her schoolbag.

Then she took out all the textbooks she needed to study.

She planned to leave all the textbooks at Niu Lin Xin's home.

That way it would be more convenient for future study sessions.

Wang Xiaoqian also said to Wang Xiaohua:

"Brother Xiaohua, my mom said for you to come to our home for lunch at noon, she wants to thank you in person."

Wang Xiaohua was just about to politely refuse.

But Wang Xiaoqian said:

"You have to come, otherwise my mom will blame me; she said this is equivalent to you tutoring me for free, if there isn't even a word of thanks for you, that would be unreasonable!"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"Alright alright, then I'll go to your house for lunch at noon."

Wang Xiaoqian immediately beamed with joy:

"Then it's settled!"

Wang Xiaohua began tutoring Niu Lin Xin and Wang Xiaoqian on their homework.

He planned to use this morning's time to give them a run-through of the math knowledge learned in Junior High Year One.

During the teaching, Wang Xiaohua discovered that these two girls really had terribly weak foundations; they didn't even know quadratic equations and trigonometric functions very well.

So he could only patiently teach them, explain the principles clearly, and derive and explain step by step according to basic logic; it took a tremendous effort before they suddenly realized.

"So that's how this formula comes from!"

Knowing how the formula was derived allowed them to understand the mathematical principles more deeply.

When doing problems, this was far more effective than rote memorization.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

Wang Xiaoqian received a call from her mother.

She then took Wang Xiaohua together to her home.

When leaving, Lin Xiaofang had already prepared a table full of rice and dishes, and placed four pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"Xiaoqian, aren't you staying to eat lunch together? In a bit your Uncle Chunsheng will be back, we'll eat together!"

Wang Xiaoqian said politely:

"No need, my mom told me to take Brother Xiaohua home for a meal, my mom said she wants to thank Brother Xiaohua in person."

Lin Xiaofang smiled helplessly:

"Then you two go ahead."

Wang Xiaohua followed Wang Xiaoqian to the elevator entrance, took the elevator down to the first floor.

Walked out of this residential complex, then went to the neighboring residential complex.

The neighboring complex was an old building over ten years old; housing prices were much cheaper than the complex where the Niu Family lived.

Wang Xiaoqian's family currently lived in an old building in the neighboring complex.

Wang Xiaohua followed Wang Xiaoqian to her home.

Only to see the spacious living room already set with a sumptuous lunch.

"Mom, Xiaohua's here!"

Wang Xiaoqian brought Wang Xiaohua into the living room, and also said:

"At my home you can walk freely, no need to wear shoe covers, no need to take off shoes."

Wang Xiaoqian's mother was a middle-aged woman with a slightly out-of-shape figure; seeing Wang Xiaohua arrive, she immediately happily greeted:

"Xiaohua, many thanks for tutoring our Xiaoqian; whether Xiaoqian can test into high school all depends on you!"

Speaking, she also took out a red envelope prepared in advance from her pocket:

"This is Auntie's small token of appreciation, you accept it! Can't let you teach our Xiaoqian for nothing!"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly declined politely:

"Auntie, no need, Uncle Chunsheng already gave me a salary."

But Wang Xiaoqian's mother insisted on stuffing the red envelope into his pocket:

"Take it, take it, that was someone else giving it to you, not me giving it to you, it's different, just a small token, not much money, I'll only be at ease if you accept it!"

In the end Wang Xiaohua could only reluctantly accept the red envelope.
