Chapter 16 Section 5

On Saturday morning, Shao Yimin received a call from Mrs. Fang, Sun Yongzhi's friend.Mrs. Fang's voice was quite forceful: "Yongzhi said that you are a talented student in the Department of Mathematics of Normal University. I can trust it, but I still want to hear you give it a try. It is best to come here today." She didn't want to take away Sun Yongzhi's kindness, so she made an appointment with Mrs. Fang to go there at eleven o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Fang lives in a high-end apartment building not far from Sun Yongzhi's house. The environment is equally elegant, and the decoration is more luxurious, conveying the message of "the master is rich" everywhere.

But Shao Yimin had a bad first impression of this family.According to Sun Yongzhi, Mrs. Fang should be the same age as her. She is already fat in middle age, but she doesn't have the benevolent appearance that fat people usually have, and her eyes are very harsh. She's not rebellious or naughty, but she just looks surprisingly dull, and she always gives a blank "um" when you tell her everything.Shao Yimin doubted whether she really understood or even listened to her lecture.Then the host, Mr. Fang, came home suddenly, looked her up and down with great interest, his eyes burning.Mrs. Fang's face immediately became displeased. She didn't expect her husband to come home at this time. She had always had a very low opinion of her husband's conduct. She thought to herself, wouldn't hiring such a beautiful girl as a tutor be like inviting a wolf into the house?However, due to Sun Yongzhi's strong recommendation, he had no choice but to find something to talk about, and wanted Shao Yimin to retreat in spite of the difficulties.

"My family, Xiaojing, is going to take a liberal arts class. Although there are no special requirements in mathematics, I really hope that the tutor I hire can keep her math scores up to date and not slow down her overall score." "Then we must pay attention to improving the learning methods, and try to master the knowledge in the textbook first." Mr. Fang played with the Mercedes-Benz car key in his hand, and said beside him: "Miss Shao is a student at Normal University, what grade is she in now?" "Third grade." Shao Yimin almost immediately decided not to be this tutor.She didn't look at Mr. Fang, and said directly to Mrs. Fang: "I think your daughter's academic ability is not bad, and she is studying in a key school. At this stage, she should focus on keeping up with the progress of the school and digesting what the teacher said. Lord, it seems unnecessary to hire a tutor for mathematics alone."

Mrs. Fang didn't expect her to be so knowledgeable, she was grateful for her words, and her smile immediately became more cordial: "That's right, Teacher Shao, I'm really sorry to trouble you to come here." "It doesn't matter." She quickly packed her things and was about to leave, so Mr. Fang had no choice but to go into his study. As soon as he left, Mrs. Fang began to think about talking to Yi Min: "You seem to have been teaching Sun Yongzhi's twins for a while. You also know about their family, right?" "I don't know, I just go to class and leave after class."

"She's divorced, and she's planning to immigrate to Canada with her children. She's planning to sell the house and the car. However, her family, Lao Lin, is quite kind, and I heard that the alimony is not bad." Shao Yimin only smiled, and put the last book into her schoolbag: "Mrs. Fang, Xiao Jing, I'm leaving first, goodbye." Mrs. Fang was very sorry that she refused to cooperate with her to talk about some privacy to pass the time, but she was still very happy to get rid of this tutor who made her feel uneasy at first glance: "Goodbye, I will come to you again when I need it, Mr. Shao .”

Shao Yimin left the apartment, only to see that the weather was extremely gloomy, with light rain already falling.She didn't have an umbrella, so she stopped to think about whether to find an Internet cafe to receive emails, and also take shelter from the rain.A black Mercedes came and parked beside her without a sound, and the window glass was lowered. Mr. Fang smiled at her: "Mr. Shao, it's raining. Where are you going? I'll see you off." Shao Yimin shook his head: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, I'll wait for someone, goodbye." Mr. Fang didn't expect her to refuse so utterly and completely. Just as he was about to speak, a voice that changed his voice called, "Teacher Shao."

Shao Yimin looked back and saw Lin Yueqing standing not far away.I haven't seen him for a holiday, and the kid seems to have grown taller again.He winked at her, bent down to look at Mr. Fang, and greeted with a smile: "Uncle Fang, hello." Mr. Fang was very embarrassed: "Hello, I have to leave beforehand." He raised the window of the car and drove away in a hurry. Yue Qing grinned: "Fang Wenjing's father is really..." Shaking his head, he obviously didn't think highly of him, "Is he flirting with you?" "You know what it means to strike up a conversation." Shao Yimin was in a good mood, "Why are you hanging out here, and you don't have to go to class in the afternoon?"

"I'm going to skip class, I hate the new English teacher." "Hey, you're not giving the teacher face by saying you skipped class in front of the teacher." "Teacher Shao, why are you here?" Lin Yueqing tried to change the subject. "Your mother introduced me to be a tutor for Mr. Fang's daughter. I just finished the trial lecture." "Fang Wenjing?" Yueqing grinned again, "She has mild depression. After taking the medicine, she sleepwalks all day long. You are wasting your saliva by giving lectures to her. Not to mention that her father is a pervert at all. Fortunately, he usually doesn't care about the house very much, and Fang Wenjing's mother is very powerful, with her watching by her side, the danger is not too great."

"How do you know so much gossip?" "We have a kindergarten, an elementary school, and a middle school. She is only one year older than me and Heping is pretty good. How can I not know?" Yueqing laughed ghostly, "Teacher Shao , let's go play video games." "No, I won't be your teacher and I will take you to skip class and play games. It's no wonder your mother is not in a hurry with me." "It's boring, I went by myself." Yueqing said dissatisfied. "Did your mother agree?" "of course not." "Then you go home honestly. Next time you run away from home and skip class, remember not to say hello to your acquaintances, or you will be arrested as well."

"I just helped you get rid of the pervert, okay?" Yueqing said with a hippie smile, "Well, I managed to sneak out and go to the Maverick Noodle Restaurant over there to have a bowl of beef noodles as a way to let the wind go. I'll treat you, and I'll go back after eating." The noodle shop is not far away, after the two ran over in the rain.Shao Yimin was taken aback. There was a long queue in front of this inconspicuous little store. She murmured, "It's just a bowl of noodles. Change to another one. It's a waste of time." "There are also people who drive here to eat. I like Pingping. I will pack one for her later. Teacher Shao, hurry up and take a seat."

Shao Yimin walked into the shop very disapprovingly, the inside was already full of diners, she finally found a vacant seat in the corner, and she took out the TOEFL vocabulary to memorize.After a while, Yueqing came in with a tray and put it in front of her. Seeing the book in her hand, she seemed to be wiping off a cold sweat: "Mr. Shao, you want to teach me to understand by precepts and deeds, but you don't have to embarrass me like this." "Stop talking nonsense, I have made a plan, this is the homework that must be done today." She put away the book, and found that the beef noodles in front of her looked really attractive. A large bowl was full, and the beef was neatly cut and stacked on top. There was a little red oil on the soup, and green coriander was sprinkled on it. The aroma is tangy. "Your mild spicy, mine extra spicy." Yueqing began to eat, "How is it, it tastes good, right?" Yi Min took a few mouthfuls, nodded and admitted that it was reasonable for so many people to line up.But if it were her alone, she would not waste this time. "Are you planning to go out and play games alone?" "That's not true, I just want to come out and take a breath." "Think about it for your mother. It's okay to come out to play for a while, but is it troublesome to say hello to her?" "I'm going to say hello, and she will definitely go with me." "It's not that exaggerated. Could it be that you are so big and you will get lost?" "You don't know, my mother cares about me and Pingping now. She takes us to school in the morning, picks us up from school in the afternoon, and prepares breakfast for us every day. When we frown, she will talk to us. We treat us by ourselves. After a while, she will come in and ask us what's on our minds, and she will also ask a psychiatrist for consultation. If this continues, she is not crazy, and I and Pingping will go crazy first." "I guess your mother just cares about you. If you don't like this way of getting along, you can have a good talk with her." "I don't know how to talk to her, should I refuse her concern? Forget it, my mother is also pitiful, she has been in a bad mood, and she has to manage us all by herself, and she has to deal with emigration." Yueqing shook his head, frowning Tightly, "I still won't disturb her." Shao Yimin was not willing to interfere in other people's lives, but the thoughts of this beautiful boy in front of her really touched her: "Don't worry, any problem can be solved, what your mother needs is time. You and Pingping should take the initiative to prove to her , you can take care of yourselves, so that you can free her and yourselves." Yue Qing nodded and continued eating noodles.After the two finished eating, they walked out of the noodle shop to take a look. They couldn't help being surprised. It rained heavily outside suddenly, and there were many passers-by sheltering from the rain standing under the eaves. "Oops, I'll call home first, and go back after hiding from the rain, or my mother will go crazy." Yueqing ran to the non-staple food store next door to make a call.After a while, he came back and said, "Ms. Shao, my mother will pick me up later. I'll ask her to bring you an umbrella. I'll pack some noodles for Leping."
