True Learning
Sometimes, "bad students" have a stronger sense of ritual when studying than good students. Xu Nian laid the paper flat, took out two pencils, and put her hands together with a strong sense of ritual. She felt that this way she could swim in the ocean of knowledge.
Xu Nian was fine with the previous questions, but when it came to the application questions, his head started to hurt. His mind started to wander when his head hurt, and he started touching this and rubbing that. Things that he was not interested in normally became rare for him.
Without a watch, she had no idea how long she had been studying, but it felt like quite a long time.
Her eyes wandered around and she saw the bed not far away, as if waving to her. She thought it would be okay to take a rest. After convincing herself, she lay down on the bed and relaxed, taking a nap.
After Xu Hongqi finished giving the other set of questions in the room, and saw that Xu Nian had not come over to "hand in his homework" yet, he called out to him twice tentatively. After all, it was not appropriate to shout too loudly in someone else's house.
Seeing the crutch placed at the end of the bed, Xu Hongqi stopped for a moment. The crutch was made by Brother Xu San. Although Xu Hongqi's leg was not broken, it was too hot in the summer, so in order to avoid pulling the wound and let the affected area heal quickly, someone made a crutch for him.
He was anxious to find a way to raise money for high school. He appreciated Xu Fengcheng's kindness and wanted to find an opportunity to return the favor.
Xu Hongqi stood at Xu Nian's door with a cane. Since the door was not closed, he saw that the person who said he would study hard was actually lying on the bed and snoring.
Xu Hongqi felt that the veins on his forehead were popping, but he didn't go in. Instead, he supported himself with one foot and knocked on the door frame with his left hand cane. He knocked several times, completely waking up the sleeping person.
Xu Nian was originally about to get angry about waking up, but when he rubbed his eyes and saw Xu Hongqi's angry face, he instantly came to his senses.
Seeing that she woke up, Xu Hongqi knocked on the door frame again and said, "When you wake up, take your questions and go into the next room." After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Xu Nian to answer.
Xu Nian felt that it was all over. She was not only afraid that Xu Hongqi would be angry, but also afraid that he would complain. She put on her shoes, picked up her things and went next door.
After entering, he was in no hurry to study. He apologized with an embarrassed look, "Brother Hongqi, I was wrong. I was too tired from doing the questions, so I just wanted to take a nap, but I didn't expect to oversleep."
Xu Hongqi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her meaningfully, "Oh, really?"
Xu Nian could sense his dissatisfaction with this explanation from his doubtful expression. His eyes rolled around as he whispered, "Maybe he was just too tired the day before yesterday!"
Xu Nian thought that by saying this, it should be able to awaken some of his "conscience", right?
Xu Hongqi felt that it would be pointless to continue talking to this girl, so he asked directly: "Where are the questions you did? Let me see them."
Xu Nian exclaimed, "Ah," and said, "I haven't finished yet..." and blushed a little after saying that.
"Where are you doing it? I guess it must be almost done. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sleep so soundly!"
Xu Nian: “…”
Xu Hongqi pointed to the table opposite the bed and said, "Go and write. I'll watch you." He emphasized the last four words.
This is the scene where Xu Nian was lying on the table in Xu Hongqi's room, writing questions with a somewhat depressed look on his face.
You say that if someone can write, who would still sleep? But if you ask her in this situation, she will obviously be ridiculed. After all, she is also an invincible beauty in the 21st century, and she cannot bear this "humiliation".
So what Xu Hongqi saw was that the girl was snapping her hands, fanning herself, and sometimes staring at a corner for a long time. This was not studying, this was clearly a provocation to him.
Xu Hongqi didn't want to owe others anything. Although he was taking advantage of the Xu family now, he would rather owe less than more.
So when Xu Nian felt a shadow cast on him, he suddenly poked the edge of the test paper with his hand, turned his head and uttered two awkward "hehe" sounds.
Xu Hongqi asked speechlessly: "Is it fun?"
Xu Nian hurriedly shook his head, feeling unconvincing, and immediately said, "It's not fun, it's not fun, not fun at all."
"Really? I see you're having a lot of fun."
Xu Nian wanted to cry but had no tears. She looked at Xu Hongqi with a bit of shame, blinking her big eyes sincerely and innocently.
Xu Hongqi sighed helplessly, "If you don't understand something, just ask. I'm here to teach you."
Xu Nian suppressed the burden in his heart and asked hesitantly, "Do you get angry easily when you are teaching?"
Xu Hongqi frowned.
"...I, I mean, you're too smart. I'm afraid I can't keep up with your train of thought, you know?"
Xu Hongqi thought I knew nothing, but people are different and naturally have different talents. For example, he only went to junior high school for almost one year out of the two years, but he always took the top spot in every exam.
He didn't like lecturing, but since he had agreed, he naturally tried his best. He also saw that Xu Nian was probably a little afraid of him and had a strong sense of self-esteem, so he tried to speak kindly, "I won't lose my temper, as long as you listen carefully to what I say."
Xu Nian naturally hoped so, so he relaxed a little and said, "I can only answer the first of the word problems you ask later. I'm not very good at the second one."
Looking at Xu Hongqi who was supporting himself on one leg, he stood up tactfully and ran to his room to get his own stool.
Xu Hongqi looked at her answer to the first question and found that Xu Nian, who had never attended junior high school, actually used the correct formula, but his ability to apply what he had learned was not very strong. Overall, it was still okay.
One of them had a "disguise" and the other had never followed the class process, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with teaching junior high school courses in this way.
After the two of them sat down, Xu Hongqi began to speak. Seeing that Xu Nian was listening attentively, he felt relieved. After he finished speaking, he asked, "Did you understand?"
Xu Hongqi's ideas were clear, but he moved too quickly. Fortunately, Xu Nian had attended junior high school, so he accepted his ideas fairly well, and the atmosphere between the two gradually became harmonious.
Especially when talking about geometry, Xu Nian reacts very quickly and has strong three-dimensional thinking. I wonder if it has something to do with her love of handicrafts and drawing.
So she said in surprise: "It's not that difficult!" She was too thick-skinned to think about it. Even though the contents of the textbooks of the two eras were slightly different, she had at least taken it once.
Seeing her happy, Xu Hongqi was in the mood to joke, "It's not difficult in the first place. If you can keep up, it won't be too bad."
Xu Nian was no longer irritable, and said with a little pride: "I am still very smart."
After saying that, he still wanted to get Xu Hongqi's approval, so he asked, "Right?"
Xu Hongqi didn't want to discourage her enthusiasm, and since he had told Xu Nian so far that there really weren't any major problems, he smiled encouragingly, which made Xu Nian even more confident in herself.
However, people should not brag. When they came to the last question, Xu Hongqi asked, "Did you understand this one?"
Xu Nian bit the pen and said, "Of course."
Seeing that she accepted it well, Xu Hongqi casually wrote another similar question in the notebook. Xu Nian felt that it was very familiar, but she just couldn't remember how to solve it.
Now that he knew Xu Hongqi wouldn't say anything about him, he said frankly, "I'm not very good at that either."
Xu Hongqi was puzzled: "Didn't you say you could do it?"
Xu Nian said naturally: "I know everything you just said!"
He was so confident that Xu Hongqi felt he shouldn't have asked this question. "So when you say you know it, you mean you know what I just told you?"
Xu Nian got a little angry when he heard him say this over and over again. "I didn't lie to you. I just said I knew it, so I did. Now I don't understand the new questions."
He really didn't expect Xu Nian to understand the question this way, but he couldn't help but say, "Don't you realize that this question is almost the same as what I explained to you?"
Xu Nian listened to him talking like this, stared at the question for a moment, then turned and said, "It's a bit similar, but not the same!"
After listening to her, Xu Hongqi leaned his elbow on the table and rubbed his brows. He suppressed the urge to swear, took the pen and explained it in detail to Xu Nian, who also listened very carefully.
After he had thoroughly understood the problem, Xu Hongqi asked again, "Do you understand it this time? It's not about knowing it, but about understanding it?"
Xu Nian held a yellow pencil in his hand and said confidently, "I understand."
Xu Hongqi was afraid of exploding, so he asked another question, "Write it again."
It was almost noon at this time. Xu Nian felt a little impatient and didn't want to study anymore. He said to Xu Hongqi, "Let's study in the afternoon. You're still injured."
But Xu Hongqi felt that she would not make excuses, so he said with a hint of doubt, "Xu Nian, if you can, you can. If you can't, you can't. I hope you can tell me."
Xu Nian's anger was also aroused by him. "What do you mean? Why do I feel that you always suspect that I am pretending to know something when I don't? Am I really that bad at performing?"
Seeing her lose her temper, Xu Hongqi spent the entire morning discussing the questions with her. Understanding that she was a rather emotional person, he said, "I don't think you're lying. I just hope you can learn thoroughly, and not be so flustered when a new question type comes up."
Xu Nian couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved when she heard what he said. She felt that he was denying herself. Plus, this was her shortcoming, so she became a little sensitive.
I was so angry that I felt like crying, and the two of them started to confront each other for some reason.
When the Xu family came back, they naturally cared about the situation of their "little guest" Xu Hongqi first.
Seeing that the door of the house where Xu Hongqi was living was wide open, he knocked on the door out of courtesy and went straight into the house without hearing any refusal.
Xu Hongqi stood up from the stool and greeted him. Xu Fengcheng, who had followed him in, saw him and hurried over to support him. "Don't be polite. You're recovering from your injuries. Sit down and rest!"
The other people nearby also quickly responded to Xu Fengcheng's words, which made Xu Nian stunned and her eyes were full of anger. In the past, only she had received such "the moon surrounded by stars" treatment. The new and old grudges added together made it difficult for her to calm down.
Xu Nian stood up suddenly, holding the test paper in his hand, and bumped into Xu Hongqi with his right arm, then ran to his room.
Seeing Xu Nian was furious and not very polite, they laughed and said, "Hongqi, don't mind it. Sometimes this girl is a bit of a show-off. Just say what you need to say."
Xu Hongqi knew what was going on, but she felt inexplicably childish. She pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's not Xu Nian's fault. Maybe I didn't explain it well, and she's a little anxious that she can't learn it."
Xu's mother was also listening, and she really didn't expect this to be the reason. She thought Nian Nian was unhappy that someone occupied her sister's room and was being rude to her. After knowing the reason, she wanted to laugh. She knew her daughter, and she was sure that her brain was not thinking straight and hadn't learned it.
Seeing that Hongqi is still secretly sad and looks remorseful, I feel that he is worthy of being the child of his "benefactor" and is the same person as his father.
Father Xu had no such concerns. He had heard many people talking about Xu Hongqi during the day, which made him conclude that except for his miserable life, everything else was good, especially his brain.
Father Xu patted Xu Hongqi's shoulder and said comfortingly but embarrassedly, "Uncle knows it's not your fault. Please give Nian Nian extra lessons while you recover. I'll talk to that girl later."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of flesh and things slapping against each other from next door, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment again.
