Zhou Yu was actually a little confused by Xu Jiacheng's sudden question. Not only Zhou Yu, but even Xu Jiacheng's wife Zhao Mingfang did not understand her husband's question.

No, didn't we agree to ask him if he could come and give our son tutoring during the winter break? Why do you want him to resign? Zhao Mingfang looked at her husband, somewhat stunned.

But after all, they had been sleeping together for twenty years. Zhao Mingfang reacted immediately, and after a little thought, she roughly understood what her husband was planning.

After knowing that this was not possible, Xu Jiacheng pretended that it had never happened and seamlessly switched the topic to something else. "By the way, Mr. Zhou, do you have time during the winter vacation?"

"You know, although I am a businessman, I am also a parent. As parents, we attach great importance to our children's grades. Especially our son Xu Li, his grades have not been very good before. Although he has improved a lot now with your guidance, Mr. Zhou, I still can't let my mind go."

"You don't know, but after you taught our Xu Li for more than a month, when the school took the high school placement test, my husband and I were told that Xu Li scored over 540. I almost cried! I felt mixed emotions!"

Xu Jiacheng recalled the scene on the phone when the school was still praising Xu Li, and his eyes suddenly became moist again. He quickly reached out his hand, rubbed his eyes, looked at Zhou Yu and continued,

"So, while you are here, we would like to ask you if you are free during the winter vacation, can you condescend to teach our Xu Li for a while? But don't worry, the tuition fee and everything else are easy to negotiate!"

As Xu Jiacheng expected, Zhou Yu showed some hesitation after hearing what Xu Jiacheng said.

After considering it for a while, Zhou Yu looked at Xu Jiacheng with some embarrassment and said, "Boss Xu, this is really not a matter of money. The winter vacation is indeed a bit short."

"And I can't tell now if there will be anything going on at home during the winter vacation..."

At this point, Xu Jiacheng, who was a shrewd man, understood that Zhou Yu was not very willing to come to Jiahe to help teach during the short twenty days of winter vacation.

Come to think of it, the winter vacation is so short, and we have to take into account the few days of the Chinese New Year. Who would be willing to work in another place for no reason? Although the rewards of this job are indeed quite high, with a six-figure salary.

Besides, am I Zhou Yu that kind of person? !

I don't like money, money is just a string of numbers to me!

So, Xu Jiacheng was quite considerate and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Zhou, we are just asking. Let's not talk about this anymore, the food is served, let's eat quickly! You have been running around all day, you must be hungry!"

...

...

While Zhou Yu was taking his partner to appreciate the cultural, natural scenery and food of Jiahe, his No. 2 Middle School students had basically been fully engaged in their studies since October 1st.

Among them, Zhang Li, Xu Jiahao, Hu Huanhuan, Peng Bolin and others worked harder.

Xiangshan Town.

On October 1, the first day of the National Day holiday, Zhang Li did not stay in bed just because she had the holiday, but got up early.

After getting up and washing up early in the morning, Zhang Li went straight to the kitchen. After washing the rice, putting it in the pot and starting to cook porridge, Zhang Li turned around and went to the main room to help with housework.

"What kind of housework do you need me to do? Just leave it there!" Zhang's mother, who had just come back from washing clothes, complained when she saw her daughter doing housework on her own initiative, "Is this little bit of work for you?! Can't you tell what your most important task is right now?!"

He snatched the rag from his daughter Zhang Li's hand, and while quickly wiping the table, he scolded Zhang Li who was standing aside in a daze, "What are you doing standing here like an idiot? Go back and read a book!"

"Did your dad spend so much money just for you to waste time cleaning tables? You've wasted so much time. If you fail the exam next year, I won't let you continue studying even if your dad wants to! When the time comes, pack up your things and go get a job!"

After being scolded by her mother, Zhang Li stood aside at a loss. Seeing that her mother would rather wipe the table than look at her, Zhang Li's face turned pale.

She couldn't say when her mother's attitude started to change. Maybe it was after she failed the college entrance examination and her father spent more than 10,000 yuan on school selection fees for her and several thousand yuan through connections, her mother's attitude towards her seemed to have plummeted compared to before.

Thinking of the mother who used to be gentle to her, Zhang Li stood by the table, bit her lip, turned around and went back to her room.

Now, I don’t blame my mother, it’s all my own fault for messing up everything.

Zhang Li returned to her room, opened her textbook on an empty stomach, and immersed herself in studying.

Try harder, Zhang Li, try harder!

For your parents and for yourself, no matter how hard you try, you can't mess this up again!

...

...

At the same time, in a community in Ruxu City.

Peng Bolin, who had worked hard all night last night, just got up at eight in the morning.

After waking up naturally from a good sleep, Peng Bolin, who had not had a good rest after working continuously for more than a week, felt fully rejuvenated.

After quickly putting on his clothes and slippers, Peng Bolin walked to the bathroom outside the bedroom and prepared to wash up.

As soon as he opened the door and walked into the living room, Peng Bolin saw his father eating breakfast.

"Dad," after greeting Peng's father, Peng Bolin immediately asked, "Where's my mom?"

As if he was used to this way of greeting, Father Peng was not at all uncomfortable. After swallowing the egg in his mouth, he directly replied, "Your mother went to buy groceries. Before she left, she told you to eat eggs."

Peng Bolin nodded and turned to go to the bathroom.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth and taking care of his own hygiene, Peng Bolin came to the dining table and sat down opposite Peng's father.

Peng Bolin picked up the egg on the table, cracked it, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Dad, our class will have a parents' meeting in two days..."

"Parents' meeting? Didn't you mention it a few days ago? Why are you asking about it again?" Father Peng was a little surprised. "Did the time change?"

Peng Bolin quickly shook his head, "No, no, it hasn't changed. It's still the afternoon of the 3rd. Just..."

"Just what?"

"When the time comes," Peng Bolin gritted his teeth and said, "Can you drive the car instead of my mom?"

Peng Bolin thought of his mother's bad temper, and was afraid that if the head teacher said something bad, his mother would beat him half to death when he got home.

Father Peng shook his head and said, "You have to ask your mother yourself. If she agrees, I will go."

Peng Bolin: “…”

"That's fine."
