Chapter 42: Isn’t it reasonable for the tutor to live at home?
Zhai Da returned home half an hour later than usual and trotted to open the door.
The aroma of food entered Zhai Da's nostrils before the light.
Yu Xiaoli, who should be busy in the kitchen on weekdays, was sitting on the sofa with an aunt's smile on her face, sticking her lips at Zhai Danu.
Zhai Da looked towards the kitchen and saw a slender and tall figure cooking very seriously.
Today's chef is Lu Wei.
The apron, which was too loose for her, wrapped around her slender waist and actually outlined the curve of her waist-to-hip ratio.
But not much.
As her hands moved, the ponytail on her hips swayed slightly. It was not a skillful move, but it was not unfamiliar either.
Zhai Da unconsciously took a few more glances, but the serious Lu Wei seemed not to notice that someone had returned.
Yu Xiaoli whispered, "Xiao Wei from the factory begged me all day, saying she would cook tonight and wouldn't even help out."
Zhai Da thought that he must be feeling sorry for the materials he had made that morning and felt guilty.
After putting down my schoolbag and washing my hands, Lu Wei was already serving the dishes.
Seeing Zhai Da, he felt a little embarrassed: "I... didn't do very well."
Zhai Da spread his hands and said, "Being able to prepare a meal already beats 90% of my peers."
Many people of this age can open a small umbrella but cannot turn on a gas stove.
In addition to making omelets and stir-fried potatoes with the ingredients from the morning, Lu Wei also made stir-fried pork with green peppers and shredded cucumbers.
The eating habits of the northern part of China are deeply influenced by Shandong Province. This kind of pancake wrapped with vegetables is very suitable for the appetite here.
The taste is also good. Zhai Da even thinks it would be even better if the ingredients were fresher.
Lu Wei stared with her big, blinking eyes, waiting for Zhai Da and Yu Xiaoli's comments.
Yu Xiaoli smiled and said, "That's really good."
Zhai Da even gave a thumbs up: "This is amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
Lu Wei's expression was visibly more relaxed.
For people who lack confidence, it is more appropriate to give excessive encouragement and praise.
Zhai Da took the initiative to take on the glorious task of washing dishes. There was no reason to let Lu Wei cook and wash dishes at the same time.
Ms. Yu Xiaoli, the former main force, can now lie leisurely on the sofa and watch TV, her favorite "Country Love" series.
An idea suddenly popped into my mind.
Does this count as enjoying the life of a mother-in-law in advance?
When Zhai Da came out after washing the dishes, he found that Lu Wei was nowhere to be found.
The door of the small house was closed. The girl must have locked herself inside because she didn't want to disturb others.
Zhai Da walked to the door and knocked: "Can I come in?"
Yu Xiaoli on the sofa immediately pricked up her ears.
Inside the room, Lu Wei whispered, "Yes..."
But then he realized that this was someone else's house and added, "I mean, you can come anytime.
To advance."
Zhai Da pushed open the door.
The room was not small, but it was definitely not spacious either, especially since there was nothing in it except a spring bed, and one had to go straight onto the kang to talk as soon as one entered the room.
Lu Wei sat awkwardly on the spring bed, like a schoolgirl whose room was being inspected.
Zhai Da felt it was impolite to go to bed as soon as he entered the room, so he just talked while standing.
He took out an envelope from his back and handed it to Lu Wei, saying, "There's 1,000 yuan in here. I've been talking about it for a long time. If I don't give it to you, I'm almost spending it."
"I don't want it."
Lu Wei was afraid that Zhai Da would force it on her, so she put her hands behind her back to show her resistance.
This girl seems to have a grudge against money...
Zhai Da placed the money directly on Lu Wei's lap and said, "Take it. We can't go back on our word. Besides, you can use it to supplement the family expenses, like buying groceries for the family."
Lu Wei finally nodded, but she didn't notice that some concepts had been confused.
"By the way, remember to buy a cell phone battery or some other second-hand phone sometime. A few hundred dollars should be enough. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient if I want to contact you."
It was another reason to spend money, and Lu Wei could only accept the money with mixed feelings.
After finishing his business, Zhai Da turned around and went back to his room. It was getting late and it would be too late if he didn't study now.
[The literary girl's pen] can be used at school, but [the old man's TV] can only be used when he gets home.
Before closing the door, Zhai Da poked his head back and said to Xiaoli, "Mom, when you watch TV, at least turn up the volume, right?"
Yu Xiaoli pretended nothing happened and canceled the silent mode.
There were lines full of smacks of banality coming from inside.
"If you want a long-lasting relationship, kiss each other morning and night..."
[The old man's TV] always makes time pass by unknowingly, while [the literary girl's pen] allows knowledge to be deeply recorded in the mind. When Zhai Da looked up again, it was already past twelve o'clock.
After taking a shower, I lay on the bed and read the book "Let Me Play Poker" under the small bedside lamp.
After a few minutes, Zhai Da noticed something unusual...it was too quiet.
Tentatively, he said, "Falling asleep?"
The "wall" didn't respond. Only when Zhai Da had given up did Lu Wei's voice come: "No."
"Then why is there no movement? Don't you turn over when you sleep?"
"I dare not turn it over...for fear of disturbing you..."
Zhai Da thought, what's the difference between this and torture... Do you want to get bedsores from sleeping so hard?
"Go ahead and turn me over. I sleep late and I'm a heavy sleeper. Even if you turn me over like a hot wheel..."
There was a slight noise coming from the other side of the wall. It seemed that it was really uncomfortable not turning over for a long time.
After learning that Lu Wei had not slept, Zhai Da found it difficult to concentrate on reading.
Playing with the Joker Poker in his hand, Zhai Da said:
"Ask a question."
"Um..."
"You are the same age as me but one grade higher than me. If you haven't taken the college entrance examination before, how were your mock exam results?"
In the small room next door, Lu Wei stared at the wall with a gloomy look on her face. "I didn't take the second or third mock exams... The first one... 630."
The last Lu Wei college entrance examination was still in the traditional mode, that is, a unified examination of seven subjects with a full score of 750... It is difficult to arbitrarily convert it to the new 2008 regulations, but it is already quite awesome.
630... Even if people save more than the dog's paper, it is still a sure score to get into a university, and it is only the first mock exam. Theoretically, if you work hard in the second half, you can get a higher score.
She should have been the top student in the Woolen Mill Middle School. How did the school allow her not to repeat the year?
Is it because of that beastly father?
Moreover, Lu Wei had fallen out of "school" earlier than he had expected... She hadn't even participated in the second or third mock exams, which meant that she was basically out of shape in the second semester of her senior year...
"So awesome? You're a science major, right? How are your grades in each subject?"
Because it was already a long time ago, Lu Wei needed to think about it: "It's all okay... It's OK. My weaknesses are Chinese and English. Physics, chemistry, and biology usually score above 90 (out of 100). Math... most of the time I get full marks."
There are more than 600 gods of war who are partial to certain subjects, which means that their weaknesses may not be that weak, but their strengths are definitely ridiculously strong.
"Then I have an opportunity to make money, do you want it?"
Lu Wei replied in a second: "No."
When it comes to not asking for money, Lu Wei is always very tough.
"Uh... Let me put it another way. I have a task for you. Be my tutor."
Isn’t it reasonable for tutors to live at home and teach slowly?
In the next room, Lu Wei was very hesitant: "I haven't studied for a long time."
"Just give it a try. I'm not giving you any money. It's a deal. Let's start tomorrow."
Because it was a mission, there seemed to be no chance to refuse. After a long time, Lu Wei could only nodded lightly.
Satisfied, Zhai Da turned off the desk lamp and rested his arms behind his head. "Let's play some music together?"
"good..."
Zhai Da searched through the folders of the copycat phone and finally found an unpopular song by an unpopular singer.
"Hear, winter is leaving~
"I woke up in a certain month and year..."
"Zhai Da..."
"Um?"
"What song is this?"
"'Meeting', Stefanie Sun."
...
"Zhai Da."
It took a long time for the wall to respond.
"Um...I fell asleep...what happened?"
"I'll do my best..."
The girl's cautious breathing was more piercing than the music.
