Chapter 110 Tutoring Dispute

If Wei Laicheng fails the exam, wouldn't Jiang Xixi's chances of passing be even lower?

Although Wei Laicheng had a short time to review, his sensitivity to mathematics, physics, and chemistry was beyond her imagination. At first, she even helped him with his review, but now, when she encounters a problem she doesn't know how to solve, she still has to ask him for help.

Jiang Xixi did not answer Wei Laicheng's question, but instead called him over, opened a complete set of math, physics and chemistry exercise books on the table, pointed to a question and asked Wei Laicheng to explain it.

"Come here and explain this problem to me." Although Wei Laicheng was still extremely worried and nervous, he still came over to look at the problem. In less than a minute, several algorithms for the problem had already appeared in his mind.

“Honey, you can do it like this first. Draw an auxiliary line here and then continue. By the way, if you don’t understand this method, just think of it this way…” Wei Laicheng then gave an even more convenient solution and asked his wife after explaining it.

"Wife, did you understand? If you didn't understand, I'll say it again."

Jiang Xixi understood the question, but she couldn't help but roll her eyes at the person next to her.

"Wei Laicheng, do you know what kind of question I'm doing right now?"

Wei Laicheng honestly shook his head. He didn't know, but he could clearly sense that the questions in this problem set seemed to be significantly more difficult than other problems on the market. Could it be...?

As if he had considered a possibility, Wei Laicheng's expression became even more flustered.

"I specially sourced this set of questions for you. They are competition questions from those years, created by experts in the fields of mathematics, physics, and chemistry in China. Do you know what it means that you can solve these questions?"

"What does it mean?" Wei Laicheng's expression was still somewhat bewildered, but subconsciously, he had already realized something.

"Of course it means that your math and science skills have reached a level that others cannot reach! If you don't believe me, take this set of questions to those educated youths at the educated youth settlement who call themselves top students and let them solve it."

Wei Laicheng was somewhat incredulous; how could he be so capable?

By the way, when I was in junior high school, some teachers did say that he was very good at math, physics, and chemistry...

Wei Laicheng grinned foolishly, "Xixi, since that's the case, does that mean I can get into university?"

"Hey~ Go away, get out of my way. You're not studying, but I am. If you keep making that noise, I'll teach you a lesson. If you're not busy, go to the kitchen and make me something delicious. Haven't you cooked the ribs I bought the other day? I want braised ribs."

Jiang Xixi assigned tasks to Wei Laicheng, but he was too idle. If he were busy, would he still have the time to think about all sorts of things?

"Okay, honey, I'll go make it for you. Oh, by the way, honey, there's some offal over there. Do you want some? If you do, I'll braise it while I'm at it."

"Okay, I've been craving that too. Oh, and add extra chili peppers when you order. It's been so cold these past few days, a little chili pepper will warm you up."

...

In the kitchen, Wei Laicheng was busy at work. Braised pork ribs were easy to make, but dealing with the offal was a real pain.

The couple were both busy with their own things, and the yard was very quiet.

Thump thump thump~

"Laicheng, it's your Uncle Zhang. Are you home?"

"Uncle Zhang?" Wei Laicheng muttered to himself, Captain Zhang? What's he doing here?

Regardless of her doubts, she put down the drain she was working on, wiped her hands clean, and walked towards the door.

"Uncle, it's so late, is there something you need?"

Winter days are naturally short, and although it's only around 5 p.m. now, it's already completely dark.

According to the villagers' habits, they are mostly at home now, since it's dark and something bad might happen.

"There is something I need to discuss. Let's go inside and talk."

Having said that, Wei Laicheng naturally couldn't block the door from letting people in, so he could only turn sideways and welcome Captain Zhang into the house.

"Uncle Zhang."

Jiang Xixi, who was inside the house, also heard the noise at the door. When she walked to the door of the main room, she happened to meet the two of them and greeted them with a smile.

After entering the house, Uncle Zhang didn't say for a long time why he wanted to see them, but just talked about some village matters.

Only after he had run out of things to say did he reveal the purpose of his visit, with a hint of guilt and embarrassment on his face.

"Xixi, I heard from the educated youth in the village that you have college entrance exam review materials?"

Jiang Xixi's expression remained unchanged, but she was already pondering in her heart.

Why did you suddenly ask about this? Does someone in Captain Zhang's family also want to take the college entrance exam?

By the way, Zhang's youngest daughter seems to have graduated from high school last year, and I heard her grades were pretty good.

"There are some, but not all of them. Uncle Zhang, is this what you're asking about?"

Captain Zhang smiled sheepishly again, but when he thought of his young daughter at home, his expression immediately hardened.

"Xixi, I won't beat around the bush. I just want to ask you if you'd be interested in opening a college entrance exam preparation class in our village for those of us who are going to take the exam."

Let's review. The college entrance exam has been suspended for so many years. They have no materials, and they've forgotten most of what they knew. With so little time to review, they can't really learn anything.

But you're different. I heard from your mother-in-law that you're a top student in the city. You just graduated from high school last year, so you must still remember everything. Why don't you help them out? Don't worry, your uncle definitely won't let you teach for nothing. How about I give you full work points every day?

You're also part of our Jianguo Brigade. When many people from the brigade pass the exam, it will benefit you too, won't it? They'll all remember your kindness..."

When Captain Zhang first started speaking, he seemed a little hesitant, whether out of guilt or something else.

But the more he talked, the more fluent he became, with an expression that said, "This is your honor." In the end, he even started to threaten her.

"You're part of our nation-building brigade?" What, does that mean if I don't agree, they'll try to trip me up later?

Jiang Xixi's dignified smile faded, and she stared at Captain Zhang with a half-smile.

"Captain, you can't say that. I'm not a top student. I'm only half-baked myself. I don't even know if I can get into university. If I teach you, wouldn't that be a waste of your time?"

By the way, I heard that your youngest daughter graduated last year, and with excellent grades. Why don't you go home and discuss this with her?

Captain Zhang's expression was somewhat unnatural, firstly because he hadn't expected Jiang Xixi to refuse his suggestion, and secondly because of what Jiang Xixi said at the end.

Why did he approach her? It's because his little daughter's foundation was too weak; she had forgotten everything she knew since graduating from high school. He asked Jiang Xixi to open a tutoring class mainly to help his daughter catch up on her studies. But what kind of talk is this guy spouting?

Moreover, with only a little over a month left until the college entrance examination, her daughter doesn't even have enough time to study on her own, so how can she waste it on those unimportant people?
