Because there were so many people, Xiaoqi extended the teaching time. It usually ends at four o'clock, but today it was almost five o'clock when he finished.
The sky outside is red, it will definitely be a good day tomorrow.
Xiao Qi took a look and then looked away. She had a good temper and spoke softly. Among these students, Liang Jiajia seemed to be the most mischievous. The others were all pretty good, so it was not difficult to teach her.
Xiao Qi told them about everyone’s current level progress.
"Today's class will serve as a trial for you. If you're willing to come, it'll be 150 per person. Originally, I only taught Jiajia, so the fee was higher, but now there are so many of you. It's still Tuesday and Thursday, but the duration will be extended by an hour. You can discuss this with your parents."
This was what Xiaoqi had thought of before. She had no experience with pricing, but changing the original one-on-one teaching to a large class was equivalent to one-to-many teaching, and it would not be appropriate to charge so much money. There was also the issue of the teaching venue. Liang Jiajia's house was large and the environment was great, which was also suitable for teaching, but she didn't know if Ms. Liang agreed, so she also had to talk to Ms. Liang.
"Also, Mr. Jing, your English foundation is quite solid. Actually, there's not much I can teach you. You can find more original reading materials. There's no need to come to class."
Guan Jingzhi shook his head directly: "Teacher Xiaoqi, your teaching is very good. I understand it very well. It can help me improve my English. I am very willing to come."
Others agreed, saying that Guan Jing was willing to come even though his English was so good.
Moreover, Jia Jia recorded videos during class, and they sent them to their parents during breaks. At their age, if they work a little harder, they would want to show off to their parents. Even Guan Jingzhi was sent a video.
When Ms. Liang learned that Su Xiaoqi had actually lowered the price, she admired him even more. She is a businesswoman and values money very much, but the more she values it, the more she realizes that sometimes money is not the most important thing, especially the money in front of you.
In fact, even if Su Xiaoqi did not lower the price, she would be very satisfied. Recently, her daughter Jiajia has been much more well-behaved and is willing to study hard. As for using her home as a study place, she would rather do so because Jiajia has children to play with and study with, and she is at ease in her own home. Moreover, the girls Jiajia is dating all have good family backgrounds, and she also left contact information with each other when attending parent-teacher meetings, which makes them closer. Businessmen pay great attention to connections, and it is always a good thing to know more friends, no matter whether they can use them right now or not.
The little girl took the initiative to lower the price and add time. She was very satisfied and didn't worry at all that her daughter would suffer a loss.
I admired Su Xiaoqi even more and agreed readily.
Xiaoqi's tutoring fee dropped from 200 to 150 per lesson, but multiplied by 7, it becomes 1050 per lesson, and with two lessons a week, it becomes 2100. Xiaoqi was really surprised that he could earn so much money. No wonder although there are clear regulations prohibiting teachers from opening classes for tutoring, there are still many such tutoring classes, and they are really profitable.
However, she did not dare to be proud, especially since there was a beautiful, polite and smart girl in front of her who was only twelve years old. She could earn so much because of the introduction of her student Liang Jiajia. She had indeed worked hard to study during this period, and hard work was the real reward.
Xiaoqi didn't dare to fly.
After saying goodbye to the seven students, I walked back to my aunt's dormitory. It was half past five when I arrived. My aunt was already washing rice and preparing to cook. Xiaoqi explained that she had more students, so the class would be late, but she still took over the task of cooking.
Ever since she started cooking, she would do it if she had time.
Dinner was also simple. Xiaoqi wanted to eat steamed pork with rice flour, so a steamer was placed on the rice cooker. The pork belly was cut into pieces about three millimeters thick, and soy sauce, salt, and MSG were poured on it. Then the sweet potato flour was mixed evenly and mixed with the meat. Ginger slices were added because my aunt didn't like to eat minced ginger. Otherwise, it would be better to chop it into minced ginger and mix it.
Stirring is a technical job and it is not easy to use chopsticks. Xiaoqi washes his hands and grabs it back and forth with his hands.
This is what she made according to her memory of her mother's cooking. She always thinks it tastes really good. However, in her memory, the steamed pork with rice flour at home always has more rice flour and less meat. When eating it, you bite into a big piece of sweet potato flour cake, and then there is a little bit of pork. But the pork is extremely fragrant and oily, and goes very well with rice.
After steaming the rice and meat, Xiaoqi washed the water spinach that he was going to cook. Since he would have steamed pork with rice flour in the evening, the soup was simple, just seaweed soup.
The steamed meat still had to wait a while, so she went to practice calligraphy first. After practicing for half an hour, she saw that the rice pot had switched to the keep warm mode, so she started cooking.
I quickly prepared it and called my aunt to come for dinner.
After dinner, Su Simei prepared to go swimming. Unexpectedly, Xiaoqi actually bought her a swimming suit. She has always been careless. When she returned to the house today, she also saw a few bags of things, but she didn't touch them because they were her niece's. She didn't expect that her niece would buy them for her. She was very happy.
"I only have that one. I was planning to buy it. I haven't had a rest these few days. How much is it? Auntie will give it to you."
"No need. I, your aunt, have accepted several more students and earned a lot more money. This is a celebration. Please accept it, it's not very expensive." Su Xiaoqi said.
Su Simei didn't try to force the money. Seeing that the price tag was over a hundred yuan, she had been planning to give her niece a big red envelope when she went to college, and she would give her a little more money then.
After dinner, she hurried to go swimming while Xiaoqi cleaned up the dishes.
After I finished cleaning up, I unexpectedly received a call from my hometown. It was the phone number of Grandma Liu next door.
"I'm going to sell winnowing baskets tomorrow, and I'll bring some vegetables for you and your aunt. I'll deliver them to you early tomorrow." Su Youfu shouted loudly into the phone.
Xiaoqi felt that he could hear the external sound even without turning on the hands-free mode.
Unexpectedly, just one week later, Dad had made another winnowing basket to sell. According to Dad's efficiency, he would probably work until midnight every day. Su Xiaoqi felt a little sad when she thought about it.
"Dad, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, I'll pick you up." Su Xiaoqi said.
During this period, she lived a very fulfilling life and felt more grateful in her heart. She found that when she felt empty, she would blame her parents for not allowing her to live a rich life, but when her life was very busy and fulfilling, she would be grateful to her parents.
She no longer feels ashamed of selling winnowing baskets.
Su Youfu quickly refused, and one could feel him shaking his head.
Then my mother's voice interrupted.
"Xiaoqi, remember to eat. Wear more clothes when it's cold. If you don't have enough money, tell mom..."
