In this imperfect world, diligence will be rewarded, while idleness will be punished. --Maugham
Xiaoqi continued reading.
In the blink of an eye, it was already half past twelve.
She is going to have a meal.
After half an hour of eating, it was already one o'clock. Then she walked to Ms. Liang's house, which was about half past one. The tutoring time was agreed to be from two to four o'clock, so she could arrive half an hour early.
As a result, it only took about ten minutes to eat, and there was another fast food chain restaurant downstairs in the library.
A serving of braised pork rice costs 18 yuan and includes braised pork, eggs, vegetables, soup, and unlimited rice.
Su Xiaoqi has been exercising a lot these two days and has a very tight schedule. In addition, a seventeen-year-old girl is in the period of growth, so she finished the entire box of lunch without leaving a single grain of rice.
After eating and sitting for a while, she walked towards Ms. Liang's house.
It was a little hot at noon, so she didn't walk fast.
She found that walking at a steady pace would allow her to last longer than walking fast and she would not feel particularly tired.
When she arrived downstairs at Ms. Liang's house, it was not yet 1:30, but she suddenly became very nervous.
I went for an interview yesterday, which was a try. I had never interviewed a tutor before, but I felt calm and not that nervous or scared. There were several people there yesterday, and Lin Min was still around.
She is alone today, what if something goes wrong?
What if the student doesn’t like me?
The moment she stepped into the elevator, Su Xiaoqi asked herself countless questions.
Finally, I pressed the number 23 on the elevator.
"If I were a boy again, I would cultivate courage. There is nothing more gentle than courage, and nothing more cruel than cowardice."
Watching the numbers change in the elevator, she repeated this sentence to herself.
The content of the article about Ms. Liang’s interview yesterday.
If you have courage, you will get much more than you imagined.
When the elevator number reached 23, she calmed down a little.
Ring the doorbell.
It was the same young woman from yesterday who opened the door.
The young woman had a sweet smile and was pretty. When she saw her, she bent down to get her shoes.
When Xiao Qi saw this woman, he said to himself again in his heart: "Come on."
If she doesn't work hard and grow, she might end up wearing an apron and becoming someone's nanny, doing housework with a friendly smile. Although there is no distinction between high and low jobs, this is not the future she wants.
"Thank you, Sister Wang." After changing into slippers, Su Xiaoqi thanked her.
The young woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled again. She didn't expect that the girl who came for the interview yesterday actually knew her last name.
Ms. Liang did not introduce her yesterday, but when she asked her to work, she called her Xiao Wang twice.
Ms. Liang had just woken up from her lunch break. When she saw the person coming, she looked at her watch and saw that he was half an hour early. A smile appeared on her face.
She likes people who are on time and prepared.
"I'll go get Jia Jia to come out. You sit down and rest for a while. Xiao Wang will pour some water and cut some fruit."
"Okay, no need to rush, just pour me a glass of warm water, thank you."
Xiaoqi was a little thirsty, so he didn't refuse the water, but he didn't want to eat fruit at someone else's house, as it felt inconvenient.
Ms. Liang turned around to call her daughter. Passing by the mirror in the living room, she saw the little girl sitting upright on the sofa. She took the water, thanked her nanny, and then drank the water. She looked neither humble nor arrogant, and did not look like a girl from the countryside at all.
After a long time, Jia Jia, the girl that Su Xiaoqi wanted to teach, appeared.
The girl in the second grade of junior high school was five years younger than Su Xiaoqi and was only twelve years old. Perhaps because her family was well-off, she looked quite mature and was already 1.6 meters tall. She was wearing a white dress with many layers, which was very complicated and looked very expensive. She once saw a girl in her class wearing it and said it cost several thousand yuan.
At that time, Su Xiaoqi just watched from a distance.
There is no envy or anything else because it is too far away.
At this moment, she couldn't help but look at the interface in front of her, which showed 6753.6 yuan.
She couldn't help but smile.
Liang Jiajia came out of the bedroom reluctantly. She didn't take a nap, but just lay on the bed and watched Douyin. She just saw a very interesting Douyin. It was all from their city and should have been secretly filmed. There was a beautiful young lady in the library, writing there, all in English. It was so cool, she didn't even need to read a book. The Douyin was recorded for a long time, and the young lady didn't even look up, she was always writing there.
Liang Jiajia thought that young lady was amazing and gave her a thumbs up.
In fact, Liang Jiajia’s grades in other subjects are very good except English.
She was actually very good at English when she was in elementary school because her father was an English teacher.
But later, my father went abroad for exchange studies, and when he came back, he divorced my mother and married his classmate. He didn't want custody of her, and soon she had a younger brother.
Liang Jiajia was very angry and felt abandoned. She became rebellious and hated English. Her English was a mess. She didn't want to learn it in the first place. Her mother was a businesswoman and the family was not short of money. She gave her the best.
But during the holidays, she went to see her grandmother, and the woman and her father were there too. The woman and her father actually spoke English in front of her, as if they didn't have to worry about her understanding. This made her very angry. Moreover, her grandmother also liked her younger brother more. In the past, she saved all the delicious food for her, but now she only takes it out when her younger brother comes.
When Liang Jiajia came back, she told her mother that she wanted to learn English and hire a tutor.
But she didn't want to learn from the teacher. In her heart, she even hated her English teacher, although it was ridiculous.
As a result, when she walked into the living room, she saw the young lady sitting in her own living room. She was wearing a gray T-shirt, khaki knee-length shorts, short hair, and a small tuft on the back of her head. She was holding a glass of water, drinking water, and a warm smile on her face.
Liang Jiajia was a little unsure, so she opened Douyin on her phone. It was the same picture as before, exactly the same. It must be the same person.
Aaaaaaa! Liang Jiajia wanted to scream.
I was just browsing Douyin and someone commented asking for the young lady’s face, address, and name.
I didn't expect that I would be sitting in her living room now.
Aaaaah, I really want to post a TikTok.
"Jia Jia, what are you doing standing there? Go and say hello to the teacher." Ms. Liang was speechless when she saw her daughter standing there stupidly.
Liang Jiajia almost jumped in front of Su Xiaoqi, fortunately her house was big enough.
"Hello, Teacher Su." Liang Jiajia had a big smile on her face.
Xiaoqi also stood up. She was a little nervous at first, worried that the little girl would be difficult to get along with. She had just sat in the living room and looked around. The living room was decorated very gorgeously, with photos hanging on the wall. There were only photos of Ms. Liang and a little girl, but no photos of the male host.
When I was changing shoes, I didn't see any men's shoes, so it seemed that there was no man in the house.
She guessed that the girl might be from a single-parent family with money, and wondered if it would be difficult to teach her.
I didn't expect the little girl to be so polite.
"Hello." Xiao Qi extended his hand.
Liang Jiajia also stretched out her hand and shook hands. She became excited all of a sudden. "Sister, shake hands with me, ahhhh!"
Su Xiaoqi looked at the unusually lively little girl...
