Chapter 35: A Thousand yuans
As soon as he finished speaking, more than 20 people behind him all responded. "Teacher Xu, we came late. There should be places, right?"
"Yes, yes, Teacher Xu, you must accept us."
"We have brought the money with us. Can we pay it today? If we pay the money first, can we learn first?"
"Zhou Ping Xiang said that you’ll bet the questions again for this year's college entrance examination. Teacher Xu, we believe that following you will definitely fare well!"
"Don't you know? Teacher Xu had been a teacher at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers college. There is nothing to pick on about her skills."
More than 20 people talked one after another without giving others a chance to interrupt.
Xu Xiao Jiao was in a daze. Song Wei Ping grabbed her shoulders, brought her to his side, and signaled to the person in front. "You can let go."
It was only then that Ma Qun noticed that he was still holding Xu Xiao Jiao's hand. He laughed enthusiastically, "I was too excited! Too excited."
After they made such a fuss, the others were dumbfounded again.
"Is this tutor so powerful?"
"I know Zhou Ping Xiang. She went to the countryside with us for a year. She did go to an excellent college."
"I recognize Ma Qun. He’s formidable. He almost passed the college entrance exam last year. Since he believes in this teacher, it won’t go wrong."
"Then what about that woman’s words just now?"
"Oh, can't you see? They know each other and have conflicts. Maybe it's because of jealousy."
Everyone quickly reached a consensus, "That female comrade,you should leave quickly. Don't delay everyone's registration. If we listen to you just now, we will suffer a big loss."
Just as Xu Xiao Jiao was about to speak, Song Wei Ping raised his hand and pulled her to his side. He took a step forward and raised his hand to silence everyone. He raised the document in his hand.
"For this remedial class, Teacher Xu had gathered all the exam outlines, sorted out the key and difficult knowledge points, produced different test papers for different levels of learning and contacted the printing machine of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers college to print out the teaching materials."
He took out the agreement contract, "Before signing the contract, we have a trial class. After signing up after the trial class, there is a three-day consideration period. During these three days, you can come to class normally. After three days, it is up to everyone to decide whether to leave or stay."
"And we make it clear that if you fail to enter the college this year, you will not be charged a penny."
He took a deep look at Zhao Yan Yan, "Whether one is capable or not, it isn't something relied on by mouth."
Zhao Yan Yan shuddered when she met Song Wei Ping's eyes, "You, you..."
She uttered ‘you’ for a long time without saying a sentence. In the end, she turned around and ran away.
Because Zhou Ping Xiang was admitted to the college, Ma Qun had no doubts in Xu Xiao Jiao's ability. Seeing Song Wei Ping's set of materials at this moment, his eyes lit up.
"Then start signing up at once."
"Yes, yes, let's start."
"Yes, don't be influenced by those petty people. Teacher Xu, we trust you."
Seeing Song Wei Ping's fuming look, Xu Xiao Jiao smiled and patted his arm.
It wasn’t worth it to be angry with people like Zhao Yan Yan. When the results of the college entrance examination come out, it will be refreshing to slap face with facts.
She turned her head to look at the people in line and began to talk about her plan.
"Okay, everyone was lined up. Let me tell you about our requirements." She came up with this request impromptu, "We have two days to sign up. There are more than a hundred people here today. Everyone can tell that it was impossible for us to take everyone. We will definitely select some."
She began to explain the reason, "First, there’s a limit to the teacher's energy. If you want high-quality teaching and individualized tutoring, the number of people must be controlled. Second, it is also being responsible to everyone. We are taking the college entrance examination. There must be at least a basic foundation, otherwise everyone’s level will be too different. In order to take care of students who are not capable enough, students who are on a normal progress will be delayed and result in unsatisfactory final grades, I hope everyone can understand.”
After she said this, everyone understood and pondered over it. If the teacher keeps tutoring those who are slow learners and delays their own learning, wasn't it a waste of time?
"Then, how do we screen?" Someone asked.
Xu Xiao Jiao looked at everyone, "It's very simple. Oral test plus written test."
In the oral test, she and Song Wei Ping asked the simplest and most basic questions one by one.
'Recite the periodic table of elements. '
'Do you know how many provinces there are in our country? '
'Recite the twenty-six English letters. '
Don't even know these simplest things? Then please return.
The written test was more comprehensive. Although there was only one piece of paper, there was one question for each subject. Each question had three parts. The knowledge points tested were from simple to difficult, step by step.
If one can't even answer the first one, then sorry, please return.
In two days, Xu Xiao Jiao's remedial class was formally established.
Each arts and sciences subject had one class. Forty students in arts and thirty-eight students in science.
The situation was better than Xu Xiao Jiao’s expectation. Because there were too many applicants, they selected the best. Everyone had a good foundation. As long as they were guided through systematic knowledge points, Xu Xiao Jiao believed that many people could be admitted to the college.
But she didn't expect that Li You Hai would also sign up.
Li You Hai signed up for the science class. He also had some foundation and his grades in the written test were also good. It was just that he was a little embarrassed.
"Xu Xiao Jiao, I, I have a good relationship with Zhou Ping Xiang. Before she left, she told me that you helped her. Since you’re running a tutoring class and this opportunity is so good, I definitely can't give it up. When I was with Han Guang Hui and the others, I was following the crowd. I never said anything bad about you. I hope you, you won’t dislike me."
Xu Xiao Jiao's impression toward Li You Hai was neither good nor bad. The deepest impression of him was that when Song Wei Ping first sold stewed meat, he went to buy meat in a splurge-full way. Song Wei Ping said, "There was a chubby man who bought a good few jins of meat."
This chubby man was Li You Hai.
"I don't dislike. It’s just that Han Guang Hui and the others are going to target you, if you sign up." Xu Xiao Jiao understood his situation.
Li You Hai nodded, "I've already moved out and have nothing to do with them."
Han Guang Hui knew that he was going to sign up and made faces every day. Zhao Yan Yan even called him a traitor and Xu Xiao Jiao's lackey.
He knew a lot of people. So he simply found a run-down house in the village and moved in to make do. Anyway, the college entrance examination was three months away. So he must work hard to pass the exam in one go.
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded. She couldn't tell that Li You Hai was independent.
"Then you should study hard. You have some basics. As long as you study hard, you will be fine." Xu Xiao Jiao commented pertinently.
After the three-day trial class ended, none of the seventy-eight students wanted to quit. They paid half of the tuition fee as soon as possible. The pre-examination sprint officially began.
1170 yuan. Not a penny short was placed on the table.
Wu Chun Hua was completely dumbfounded, "Daughter, so much money?"
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded, "That's right. The whole remedial class costs 30 yuan in total. Half of it is paid first. It’s all here."
Xu Xiao Gang had never seen so much money in his life. Seeing so much money in front of him, he stretched out his hand to feel it, "Mom, my elder sister is probably not a God of Wealth in her previous life. See how easy it is for her to earn money."
Xu Xiao Jiao directly handed over ten yuan to Xu Xiao Gang, "Hey, during the registration period, you took down details. There’s also copying the test paper for me. Good job. Elder Sister is rewarding this to you."
Xu Xiao Gang's eyes lit up, "Thank you Elder Sister!"
Wu Chun Hua repeatedly stated, "No, you can give him one or two yuan. One or two yuan is a lot. In the past, fifty cents was a big deal."
Xu Xiao Jiao got Xu Xiao Gang to put away the money, "Don't worry, Mom. I know that Xiao Gang is saving the money he earned from me. He isn't a child who spends money indiscriminately. Let him save it by himself."
Then she took out two hundred, "Mom, these are for you. You can save them if you don't need them. If you usually want to eat and we’re not here, you can get Xiao Gang to buy it. Don't be frugal."
Wu Chun Hua couldn't take it, "What can I want? I have everything now, besides, I have been nursing myself for half a month. Look at me now. I am fair and fat. At home, you and Song Wei Ping bought milk powder, blood-enriching oral liquid, cereals, those fruits, and meat. I have already recovered. So don't spend money on Mom."
As she was talking, she thought of another thing, "What's more, your money may not all be yours. If there are not many people who get admitted to college, then the money must be returned to others."
Xu Xiao Jiao was full of confidence, "Don't worry, Mom. At least half of them will be admitted to college. Trust your daughter."
She poked Song Wei Ping quietly, urging him to say something too.
Song Wei Ping immediately chimed in, "Mom, take it just to let us be reassured. Xiao Jiao and I may not be able to take care of you so well during these three months. Buy what you need. You don't need to save."
Xu Xiao Jiao added, "Yeah. Isn’t it easy to earn money? Mom, you worry too much. Besides, aren't I going to add a knowledge summary class at night? It's specially for those who don't have time during the day. My tutoring class has only been open for a few days and the reputation has spread. The evening class costs 50 cents a class. Not only many students who attend my class during the day want to attend, others are coming to ask. I estimated it’ll be sixty-seventy people. The money is non-refundable. Calculate how much we can earn in one night."
Although Xu Xiao Gang didn't participate in the family's small business, he can hear and see. His mental calculations were very fast, "Mom, then my elder sister can earn twenty to thirty yuan a night. She said, once every five days, so five or six times a month. Can earn one or two hundred a month. Elder Sister, you are too brilliant!"
Now Xu Xiao Jiao was the most capable person in the world in his eyes, "And our teacher said, he heard others say that you are excellent. No matter how difficult the problem is, you can phrase it easy to understand and explain a knowledge point thoroughly. There’s no need to worry about the same type of questions. When my teacher sees me, he asks when will you start the night class?"
He was even more proud than Xu Xiao Jiao.
"That's right. You know how excellent your elder sister is. Look, learning is very useful. Putting aside twenty or thirty yuan a night, let’s talk about two yuan. When working in the past, it couldn't be earned in a week. Properly study and you will be better than me when you are admitted to college."
Xu Xiao Gang gained infinite motivation from the practical examples. Hearing these words, he nodded fiercely, "I know. I am now the first in the class every time I take the exam. I have studied hard."
Daughter was doing well, her son was motivated, and her own health was getting better and better. Wu Chun Hua was overjoyed, "Alright, alright, then mom will keep it. Mom won't spend it. I will keep it for you."
The money issue was resolved. Xu Xiao Jiao's remedial class officially started. At night, she laid on the bed and sighed, "It's going well."
She didn't expect to be able to recruit so many people.
Song Wei Ping was giving her a massage, "That's why Grandmother kept saying that you are blessed."
Xu Xiao Jiao was lying on the bed. Song Wei Ping was kneeling beside her. His strength was neither too strong nor too weak. She was so comfortable that she didn't want to move. "That's right. If I'm not lucky, how can I get you, a handsome guy, give me a massage."
This appearance and quality was top-notch if placed in future generations. Now he was her exclusive. Thinking about it, this feeling wasn’t bad.
Song Wei Ping asked her, "When will you let me enjoy the blessing?"
Xu Xiao Jiao didn't understand, "What?"
"Ten times exchange for one time." Song Wei Ping reminded her.
Oh. Xu Xiao Jiao remembered. They had said that Song Wei Ping massaged her ten times and she’ll give Song Wei Ping one massage in turn.
"You gave me ten massages so quickly?" Her consumption level was quite high.
Song Wei Ping remembered it all, "It's been eleven times. So I'll apply for one exchange."
Xu Xiao Jiao was in a good mood and immediately moved her arms, "Okay, come. Song Wei Ping, get down. I'll move my hands today and let you see my skills."
Song Wei Ping raised his eyebrows, "Really giving me a massage?"
Xu Xiao Jiao sat up abruptly, "Of course. You've been tired all this time. Come here, take off your shirt, and lay down. I'll massage your shoulders."
Song Wei Ping glanced at her, "Okay."
Xu Xiao Jiao wanted to serve Song Wei Ping for once. But when he was lying on the bed shirtless with his slightly wheat-colored skin bulging into a healthy arc under the light, she felt it was another kind of enjoyment.
"Song Wei Ping, your skin feels good." She reached out and stroked his back, feeling the elasticity of the muscles.
Sensing Song Wei Ping's tension, she patted him, "Relax, relax, I'm starting."
But when she started massaging, it didn’t seem like it.
"Song Wei Ping, your muscles are so big."
"Oh, you’re so hard."
"It feels so powerful here."
After a few strokes, she was very tired.
Originally, she was kneeling by his side. Now she simply sat on his waist and started to be hands on, "I'm so tired."
As soon as she exhaled a breath, Song Wei Ping groaned, "Jiao Jiao, get down."
He's so sly 😏
