Chapter 733: 728. The Tutor is Decided (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

This was Hong Mei's first time seeing such "high-tech" furniture, and combined with these things that looked very expensive, she didn't dare to use them at all.

So even Liu Lu herself hadn't expected that she would just use a basin to catch water and then wash up with cold water just like that.

After coming out, she looked at Liu Lu with a face full of embarrassment, "Sister, I'm done."

"It's fine, don't be nervous; just treat this place like your own home," Liu Lu said with a gentle smile on her face.

Hong Mei hurriedly said, "Thank you, Sister. Um, I... I'll start tutoring them now."

Liu Lu didn't say anything more, only saying, "Alright, you try it first. If they don't listen, just tell me, and I'll go discipline them."

After saying that, she had the two little ones come over.

They didn't go anywhere else, just staying in the living room; Zhang Ran sat in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air, while Liu Lu watched from the side.

"Let's start with the homework first," Liu Lu said directly, seeing that Hong Mei didn't know where to begin.

She then took out Susu's workbook first and let Hong Mei begin the tutoring.

Susu and Taotao were originally very unwilling; after all, they were just children, and not many children are willing to do homework on their own.

But gradually, the two little ones actually got into it. It wasn't that they were suddenly studious, but rather that Hong Mei's tutoring method was very unique.

Hong Mei taught according to her own way of learning, interspersing it with many local situations from her hometown.

Her learning method was actually very simple: it was about making connections, linking things in the books to things in reality.

This way, one would have a general concept in mind, and learning would become much easier.

Especially in terms of language arts, the things Hong Mei talked about attracted the two children's attention even more.

After all, no matter what, they had lived in the big city of Shanghai since they were small.

Even if they occasionally went to the countryside once or twice, they had never stayed there for a long time, except for the Summer Camp last time.

So they were very interested in many of the things Hong Mei talked about.

This allowed them to gradually feel the fun in learning, which was the most important thing.

As for Hong Mei, although her Mandarin wasn't very good at first, she had, after all, relied on her own hard strength to get into such a good university.

Or rather, she could actually have entered Jingcheng University, but due to some other reasons, she applied to Shanghai Jiao Tong University instead.

Well, actually, it was her teacher who told her to apply for this one; she didn't know anything about these aspects, and the teacher just said applying for this one was safer.

However, Hong Mei didn't regret it even after knowing the situation, because she already knew that the headquarters of the Yuanran Charity Foundation was in Shanghai.

The Yuanran Charity Foundation had helped her family too much and had even changed her destiny, so Hong Mei's heart was filled with infinite gratitude toward the Yuanran Charity Foundation.

Being able to go to school near the headquarters of the Yuanran Charity Foundation also made her feel much more settled.

Her learning ability was beyond doubt, so in her exchanges with the two children and Liu Lu, her Mandarin slowly became standard.

Mandarin is actually very simple for the vast majority of children or young people; after all, everything on TV is in Mandarin, they just don't speak it often.

As long as someone leads them to say a few sentences, it's actually about the same; of course, it's hard to say for those with heavy, special dialects.

"Dad, look, Hong Mei's teaching seems pretty good. This is the first time I've seen Taotao not scratching his ears and cheeks while studying, being so focused," Liu Lu quietly walked up to Zhang Ran and whispered.

Zhang Ran had actually been paying attention to this side all along, and upon hearing this, he understood Liu Lu's meaning and nodded, saying, "It is indeed not bad. You ask about Hong Mei's situation later, and I'll have Dayong look into it. If there are no problems, then we'll use her."

What needs to be checked still needs to be checked; Liu Lu understood this point.

"Xiao Mei, take a break and eat something," after about an hour, Liu Lu called for them to take a break.

Once Hong Mei entered a state of study, her whole person became different, and she almost forgot where she was.

Her state also influenced Susu and the others, which was the reason why the two little ones, Susu and Taotao, entered the state so quickly.

"Liu Jie, no, no need, I'm fine," Hong Mei became a bit flustered.

Liu Lu said with a smile, "It's fine, it's also a good time to let these two little things take a break."

"Sister, have this," Susu took an apple from the fruit plate and handed it over.

Hong Mei took it with some embarrassment.

Taotao was not to be outdone, immediately grabbed a piece of fruit, and then the two little ones sat beside Hong Mei, saying expectantly, "Sister Hong Mei, can you tell us more about those little animals?"

Well, the two little ones had already been captivated during class by the little animals or other things in the mountains that Hong Mei had described.

How could Hong Mei be unwilling? She immediately began to tell them.

After resting for about ten minutes, under Liu Lu's urging, the class started again.

It wasn't until about five o'clock that it ended.

Amidst Hong Mei's anxious mood, Liu Lu said with a smile, "I think the two little things are learning quite well. How about this, we'll tentatively hire you. The hourly rate will be calculated at one hundred per hour, although it's not much."

Before Liu Lu could finish, Hong Mei's eyes widened, and she started to stutter, "No... no... no need for that much, it's too much."

One hundred an hour?

That was too much!

She only made one hundred and eighty working herself to death on the construction site for a day, and that was because she worked hard; otherwise, she wouldn't have that much. In fact, that is the price for a normal laborer. Saying that migrant workers easily make over ten thousand a month is pure nonsense. Of course, such situations definitely exist, but they are very rare.

The vast majority of laborers' wages are between one hundred and eighty to two hundred and twenty a day; it won't exceed that by much.

"It's not much; this is the normal price nowadays," Liu Lu said with a smile.

Indeed, this price was actually already on the low side, but given Hong Mei's situation, one hundred an hour was already a lot, after all, she wasn't a professional.

Moreover, there were quite a lot of class hours here; in a day, five or six hundred was quite easy to make.

"This is five thousand yuan, consider it an advance on your pay. You find a place to rent, and then come from ten in the morning to four in the afternoon every day, lunch included," Liu Lu said with a smile.

"Liu Jie, thank you, thank you." Hong Mei's tears immediately flowed down. She felt that her luck was truly very good; she had the Yuanran Charity Foundation when she was in school, and she met a good person like Liu Lu outside.
