In her previous life, Yang Yajing worked as a university teaching assistant, writing course records for many professors.
The more she wrote, the more knowledge and tips she accumulated became her own. To use that knowledge to teach fifth-grade students would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
In order to avoid having to explain the same content twice, Yang Yajing simply had the three of them attend the class together after closing time.
Yang Yajing's lectures are very interesting. She doesn't lecture on each subject one by one. Instead, she first highlights the key points of different subjects and then connects these key points together, telling the story like a narrative.
For example, in subjects like Chinese and history, when discussing articles and authors, Yang Yajing would tell them historical stories from the era in which the authors lived.
Because it was interesting and not boring, Bian Xiaoming, who always slept in class, didn't doze off at all.
Yang Yajing also forbade them from taking notes, saying that taking notes was like multitasking and would distract them.
Her trick is to ask ten quick-response questions after telling a story, and the person who answers the most questions correctly within one minute gets a small red star as a reward.
Ten little red stars are worth one fish skin peanut, so Bian Xiaoming is really going all out for that!
It wasn't that he particularly loved peanuts, but rather that he was concerned about his image and felt a greater sense of accomplishment from collecting more.
At first, he felt embarrassed as he watched Zhou Pengfei and Chen Jiaoyun's small plates accumulate more and more fish skin peanuts while he only had two.
When he got home, he stopped playing games and watching his favorite cartoons, focusing instead on studying his textbooks. His dad was so worried, he thought his son had been switched at birth!
By the third day, Bian Xiaoming had collected six or seven fish-skin peanuts. The satisfaction he gained from his efforts made him fall in love with "exams".
He persisted for five days, and when the exam finally came, he found that he was no longer in the state where "the exam paper recognized him, but he didn't recognize the exam paper."
Although he failed math, he passed all the other subjects, and surprisingly, he scored 72 points in general knowledge.
After being praised by the teacher and receiving a little red star, Bian Xiaoming was no longer afraid to go home after the exam. That day, he skipped and jumped home, holding his exam paper for his dad to sign.
"You got these scores? No cheating?" Old Man Bian couldn't believe his son could pass almost all of them. "If you dared to cheat, you'd better watch out for a spanking!"
"Dad! I really did pass the exam!" Bian Xiaoming was now full of confidence. "Your five hundred yuan worked! Give me another five hundred before the next exam, okay?"
"Don't even mention five hundred yuan. If it can get you into a second-rate junior high school, I wouldn't mind paying five thousand!"
"Why is it second-rate and not first-rate?"
"A top-tier junior high school is a key junior high school. With your level, do you think you can get in?" Old Man Bian glared at him. "As long as it's not a lousy school, I'll be thanking my God and my ancestors!"
"Why thank our ancestors? If you're going to thank anyone, you should thank Yang Yajing!" Bian Xiaoming found it strange that his father kept saying he wanted to thank his ancestors.
"Yes, yes, yes! I must go and thank our family's great benefactor!" Old Man Bian said earnestly. "If you become successful, I won't have to worry every day and grow old with worry!"
Old Man Bian was a self-employed motorcycle repairman, a former educated youth who had returned from the countryside, and he didn't have much education.
But he valued gratitude, and the next day he waited at the school gate with bags and gifts.
The group of parents waiting to pick up their children at the school gate were all curious about his appearance today. Why were both of them present? Was it really necessary to borrow a child? And why did he bring so many gift boxes?
The parents who came to pick up their children had become familiar with the family over the years, and they asked directly if they had any questions. They already knew that the Bian family's son was a poor student, so they were all surprised to hear that the poor student had actually passed the exam.
But the expressions on the faces of the Bian family elders didn't seem like they were lying.
Finally, the school bell rang, and the two elders of the Bian family didn't look for their son, but instead walked quickly towards a little girl. They were all a little confused.
"Hey? Isn't this the eldest son of the Yang family's daughter?" A parent recognized Yang Yajing.
"Why are the old Bian couple giving such a grand salute to the Yang family girl?" Another person who doesn't understand.
"Old Bian just said his son's grades have improved because a classmate is tutoring him? Could it be Old Yang's daughter?"
"But didn't he say he'd pay 500 for tutoring?"
"If it can improve things, what's 500? I've already spent over a thousand yuan on my daughter, and I haven't seen any results!" Another parent complained.
"If this girl from the Yang family had that skill, I'd be willing to pay five hundred to give my son a tutoring session!"
"I heard that the girl from the Yang family gets perfect scores in every subject, she's really amazing!" His daughter was in the same class as Yang Yajing, so she knew a little about it.
"One hundred in every subject? You must be kidding me."
"Not just 100 in every subject, but 100 in every single subject every single time! That's amazing!"
"That's amazing?" someone started to say. "No way! I have to ask Old Yang if I can get his daughter to tutor my daughter too!"
"Isn't your daughter's grades pretty good?"
"I have to make sure she gets into a top school! If a girl doesn't study hard, how hard will it be for her to find a job in the future?"
"Yes! That makes sense!"
...
With everyone talking at once, no one cared how embarrassed Yang Yajing was at that moment. They all picked up their children and rushed to Yang's Restaurant.
Having accepted the tutoring fee, Yang Yajing absolutely refused to accept these gifts. After much back and forth, the Bian family elders finally gave in. They were afraid of angering Yang Yajing, lest she stop tutoring their son—that would be terrible!
Having finally gotten rid of the Bian family elders, Yang Yajing and Zhou Pengfei were able to return to the restaurant.
