The next day.
Shen Zhu got up early and made breakfast for Shen Pan.
Shen Pan woke up from a good sleep and felt much more comfortable.
Another younger brother made breakfast for him. As Shen Pan washed up, he thought that Shen Zhu had come to Dongjiang just in time.
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be so relaxed now.
"Sister, let's eat," Shen Zhu cooked the millet porridge. He also bought frozen soup dumplings yesterday, which only needed to be heated up.
"You eat too," Chen Pan brought a small stool and sat next to the coffee table, "I'll take you to see the tutor I found for you today."
"Ah?" Shen Zhu was not expecting this to happen so suddenly, and looked unhappy, "You found it so quickly?"
"What else?" Chen Pan said, "Don't forget why you came to Dongjiang."
Shen Zhu pursed his lips and said, "Is it okay if I don't take extra classes?"
"No," Shen Pan refused righteously, "Look at your grades. It's hard for you to get into a good junior college."
Shen Zhu: "I'm not good at studying, why do you always force me to study?"
Chen Pan: "Because I and the people around me have all benefited from a love of learning. If I hadn't been admitted to university and hadn't come to Dongjiang, I don't know what I would be doing in Yu'an now. I might have been forced to get married by my family."
Shen Zhu said with disdain: "Even if you study hard and do well, what 'bonus' can you get? It's not like you will definitely make a lot of money after studying."
Chen Pan: "Yes, studying doesn't guarantee you'll make a lot of money, nor does it guarantee you'll reach the pinnacle of life. But it can improve your cognition. When you have $100,000, you'll have the cognition of $100,000; when you have $500,000, you'll have the cognition of $500,000; when you have $1 million, you'll have the cognition of $1 million. It's not like God throws a pie in your face and you're lucky enough to catch it with your mouth, but you don't have teeth to chew it. Let me ask you, do you want to make money in the future, and make a lot of money?"
Shen Zhu: "Of course I did."
Chen Pan: "You want to make a lot of money, but you're not even willing to do something as simple as learning. You have high aspirations but low skills. By 'wanting to make a lot of money', do you mean you want to take crooked paths? All those ways to make a lot of money are in the criminal law. To put it bluntly, if you don't learn, you can't even be a thief."
Shen Zhu: “…”
Chen Pan: "I don't want to talk about big principles with you, but there is no room for negotiation on tutoring. Even if I break your legs and make you hate me for the rest of your life, you have to study hard and strive to get into a good university."
Shen Zhu: “…Got it.”
I thought that after coming to Dongjiang, I could finally escape Yang Ying's nagging, but who knew that Shen Pan was even more ruthless than Yang Ying.
He felt like he had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.
Chen Pan: "I've made an appointment with my friend Zhou Mo. Come with me to see her. She wants to understand your situation first, and then see what supplements to give you and how to give them."
Shen Zhu: "Is Zhou Mo the friend you mentioned who was proposed to last time?"
Shen Pan: "It's her."
Shen Zhu nodded in understanding, "Where's my brother-in-law? When will he be back?"
Shen Pan glared at him: "Why do you care about him so much?"
It was as if he came to Dongjiang just for Lu Zhishu.
Shen Zhu smiled awkwardly: "Nothing, just asking."
Shen Pan: "Focus on the important things, and don't focus on unimportant things all day long."
Shen Zhu obeyed obediently, "I understand."
The meeting with Zhou Mo was scheduled at a cafe near the First Hospital of Southeast University.
While Zhou Mo was taking a lunch break, Shen Pan took Shen Zhu to meet him.
Shen Zhu is 175cm tall, a little taller than Shen Pan, and twice as strong as Shen Pan.
When Zhou Mo saw Shen Zhu for the first time, he had only one feeling - "You and your brother don't look much alike, but you kind of look alike."
Shen Pan: "It's not a kiss, it doesn't seem normal."
Shen Zhu: “…”
Zhou Mo: "There are some similarities, for example... you both have widow's peaks."
The difference is that Shen Pan’s is not obvious, while Shen Zhu’s is more obvious.
Chen Pan said mercilessly, "That's not a widow's peak, it's M-shaped hair loss."
Shen Zhu: “…”
Zhou Mo noticed Shen Zhu's embarrassment and asked Shen Pan with a smile, "Is there any sister like you who only says things to suppress her brother?"
Chen Pan: "This brat actually told me that he doesn't want to study and that studying is useless. It makes me angry just hearing that. Suppressing him is the least of my worries. I want to beat him to death."
Shen Zhu was apprehensive: "No, sister, can I study hard?"
Shen Pan: "Just know how to learn."
Zhou Mo smiled and took out a notebook from his bag. "Come on, let me ask you about your studies first. What sciences are good and what sciences are bad? Tell me first."
When talking about studying, Shen Zhu lowered his head in shame, "I... am not partial to any subject. I don't have any particular favorites, nor do I have any particular dislikes. My grades in all subjects are very average."
Chen Pan ruthlessly exposed it: "It's very average, even average is not even passing."
Zhou Mo smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, grades can't determine everything. Besides, there is still more than a year before the college entrance examination. As long as you work hard, there is still time."
"You're a PhD, and you were a top student in high school. You must think that high school stuff is easy and you can catch up if you work hard..." Chen Pan turned to look at Shen Zhu, "This kid...it's definitely not as easy as you say. I'm also a poor student and can't teach him. I'll leave everything to you."
"No problem," Zhou Mo said, "but... the remedial class time is a bit short. If you want to cram, Chinese and English are definitely not the right subjects. Without regular accumulation, it's impossible to improve much in these two subjects. The others are still okay. Especially chemistry and biology. If you don't do well in them, it's mostly because you haven't mastered the study methods and rules. They are not like math and physics, where you can just apply the formulas and solve the problems. How are your math and physics?"
Shen Zhu: "I can barely understand physics, but I don't quite understand mathematics..."
Zhou Mo: "Did you start to get confused when you learned about functions?"
Shen Zhu was surprised: "How do you know?"
Zhou Mo: "It's the same for everyone. I have a classmate who had the same problem when he first entered high school. He couldn't understand functions at the beginning, and later he couldn't keep up with math. Math is probably the subject with the biggest gap between junior high and high school. Many children who did well in junior high school can't keep up with the high school coursework, most of which was because math hit their confidence. In fact, the solution is very simple. My mother is a math teacher. She used to teach high school, but later she was too tired, so she switched to teaching junior high. She said that the real strength of high school math is after you have finished all the high school content and enter the review stage. The first thing to tackle must be trigonometric functions. No matter how well you learned functions before, or how well you learned solid geometry, as long as you enter the review stage, you must first understand trigonometric functions."
Shen Zhu nodded very firmly, as if he had heard a treasure book.
Zhou Mo: "Math, I plan to ask my mom for help. I'll first teach you about study methods and stuff. She's a teacher, so she's definitely more professional than me in this area."
