Chapter 89 I just came for a physical examination, you asked me to give you the review materials
Riding his bicycle, Cheng Xuyuan leisurely arrived at the county town before dark.
This time when Cheng Xuyuan came to the county town, he did not come empty-handed. He was carrying a black floral cloth bag, in which were twenty salted eggs that Wang Guilan had asked him to bring.
For city dwellers, buying eggs requires not only money but also tickets.
But for rural people, every family is now allowed to raise a few chickens. Although not many, they can save some eggs.
Of course, we usually don’t eat these eggs. We only eat them when visiting relatives or during festivals.
Wang Guilan asked Cheng Xuyuan to bring so many eggs in order to express her gratitude to Cheng Jiadong and his wife.
When I arrived at Cheng Jiadong's house, Cheng Jiadong was already home.
It was extremely lively outside the tube building, and the sounds of cooking and chatting filled every corner of the tube building.
"Young man, who are you looking for?" When Cheng Xuyuan parked the car and was about to go upstairs, a middle-aged woman who was cooking on the first floor asked with some vigilance.
After all, everyone in the yard knew each other, and the sudden appearance of a stranger was like an outsider intruding into her territory for the middle-aged woman.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I'm looking for Cheng Jiadong. I'm his nephew."
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Is your name Cheng Xuyuan?"
Cheng Xuyuan nodded casually and said, "Yes, I am Cheng Xuyuan."
Just as this sentence was spoken, the middle-aged woman suddenly shouted: "Come and see, our county's top scorer in the college entrance examination is here!"
Her shout made the people around who were cooking and chatting suddenly quiet down.
All eyes were fixed on Cheng Xuyuan.
Although Cheng Xuyuan had become immune to such situations, he still felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people.
"He is Cheng Xuyuan who scored 342 points. What a spirited young man!"
"I thought Cheng Xuyuan wore glasses, but he doesn't have any!"
"Tsk tsk, he is Cheng Xuyuan!"
…
Facing these discussions, Cheng Xuyuan, who had returned to normal, smiled at the middle-aged woman and said, "Auntie, I'm going to my uncle's house first. See you later."
As he spoke, he quickly went upstairs.
Unfortunately, there were quite a few people at the stairs at this time. Although no one greeted him, they all looked at him without any concealment.
It's true that people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat.
Fortunately, the tube building was not big, and he soon arrived at Cheng Jiadong's home. Li Xiu'e was cooking, and when she saw Cheng Xuyuan, she smiled and said, "Dayuan, your uncle just said that if you don't come over later, he will ride his bike back to the village to check!"
"You must be tired. Sit down and rest for a while."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Thank you, auntie, I'm not tired."
"This is the salted egg my mother pickled. Let me show you how it tastes."
Li Xiu'e looked at the cloth bag that Cheng Xuyuan put down and pretended to be angry and said, "Your mother is just too polite."
"We are all family. Do you need to bring anything with you when you come to my place?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "It's not something expensive, it's just a chicken I raised at home. I just want you to have a taste of it!"
Cheng Jiadong, who was in the house, also came out and said, "Dayuan, come in and rest for a while. We'll have dinner soon."
"I've already inquired about the physical examination. I'll go with you tomorrow morning. It's just a few tests."
Just as the two were talking, a middle-aged man wearing a black cotton jacket and with messy hair came over with a notebook.
"Old Cheng, I heard your nephew is here?"
When Cheng Jiadong saw the person coming, he smiled and said, "Teacher Chu, this is my nephew Cheng Xuyuan."
"Dayuan, this is Teacher Chu from the County No. 1 Middle School."
Although Cheng Xuyuan didn't know why Teacher Chu came to see him, he still smiled and said, "Hello, Teacher Chu."
Teacher Chu said: "Cheng Xuyuan, I have heard of you for a long time."
"You're a good young man. You were able to get into Yanjing University through self-study. That's amazing."
As he spoke, he pointed at the notebook and said, "You gave me this question, and no matter how I calculated it, it was wrong. Can you tell me how to solve this problem?"
Cheng Xuyuan picked up the notebook and found that it was a geometry problem that he had given to Ma Guangzhong and others two days ago.
Moreover, he copied a lot of questions he had made in Teacher Chu's notebook.
It's only been a few days, how come it got to Teacher Chu and the others! He carefully looked at the questions Teacher Chu copied, and then said solemnly: "Teacher Chu, the numbers in this question are wrong."
"The angle of the triangle in my question is 45 degrees, but you copied it as 40 degrees."
“In this way, the conditions of the question have changed.”
"Look, if we change this degree to forty-five degrees..."
Cheng Xuyuan's words made Teacher Chu fall into deep thought. A minute later, he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, Xiao Cheng, you are absolutely right. It's just that I copied it wrong."
"This becomes forty-five degrees, and it can be easily solved."
At this point, he flipped through the book and said, "Xiao Cheng, I have another question. Can you help me look at it?"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Teacher Chu with a determined look on his face, feeling helpless.
I came here for a physical examination. How can you ask me to solve the problem? He couldn't help but glance at his uncle Cheng Jiadong, and Cheng Jiadong nodded gently, meaning that if he could help solve the problem, he should solve it quickly.
Although he secretly groaned in his heart, Cheng Xuyuan still spoke seriously.
One, two, three...
He spoke for more than twenty minutes, and it was not until Li Xiu'e came over to say it was time for dinner that Teacher Chu was ready to leave with a reluctant heart.
Before leaving, he said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xiao Cheng, you helped me solve a big problem."
"These days, I have been thinking about how to come up with some high-level questions for my students to do and improve their level."
"But, after searching throughout our entire region, there are no high-level papers."
"I'm going to print out the questions you gave me so that they can practice more."
Do I agree to print these test questions I set into papers?
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Teacher Chu, who looked like he had done a great thing for him, and was speechless.
Will you give me a fee for printing my papers? After Teacher Chu left, Cheng Jiadong said, "Dayuan, Teacher Chu is just so serious, don't bother with him."
"What are those math problems that Teacher Chu mentioned?"
Cheng Xuyuan immediately told the story of how after he returned home, he was surrounded by educated youth and asked questions, and he had no choice but to set up a mathematics class in the village.
Cheng Jiadong waited for Cheng Xuyuan to finish speaking, then gently patted the table and said, "Dayuan, teaching and educating people is a great thing."
“You did a good job.”
"By the way, Teacher Chu just said that the questions you gave are very targeted in mathematics. How many questions do you have now?"
How many are there? I have so many in my mind! However, Cheng Xuyuan did not dare to say this casually. He said carefully: "Uncle, in order to help the educated youth in our village review, I have made a total of 20 sets of test questions according to the types of questions."
"I have only used three sets of papers now."
Cheng Jiadong slapped his thigh and said, "There are 20 sets of questions. Are the remaining 17 sets and the three sets you took out about the same level?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Uncle, you can rest assured, the level is definitely about the same."
"That's great!" Cheng Jiadong said, "These days, people often report to our leaders that they hope we can get some college entrance examination review materials for the educated youth to study."
"Our leader handed this matter over to me."
"But it's so sudden. Where can I get these review materials?"
"You compiled twenty sets of papers yourself, that's great!"
"After the physical examination, bring the twenty sets of papers here and I'll ask the math teacher at our county high school to take a look."
"If possible, please ask our county's printing factory to print out the study materials."
Provide study materials! Cheng Jiadong's words caught Cheng Xuyuan off guard.
He looked at Cheng Jiadong who was very excited, and finally he mustered up the courage to say, "Uncle, if you want to use my test paper, there is no problem with that."
"Who made you my uncle?"
"But, since these learning materials are for sale, um... are there any royalties?"
"When I was at the Cultural Center, my colleague Lao Ma wrote an article that was used by Yenching Literature and Art, and was paid 5 yuan per thousand words."
"He also used the royalties to treat us to a meal at Dong Lai Shun."
Cheng Xuyuan was very careful not to mention himself, but instead talked about Ma Boyuan's matter.
Print study materials and get royalties!
This was the first time Cheng Jiadong encountered such a thing.
Just as he frowned, Li Xiu'e said, "Jiadong, I think Dayuan is right."
"I get paid for writing articles that are accepted by magazines, so why can't I get paid for printing study materials?"
"After all, this was written by our Dayuan with great effort."
Cheng Jiadong said, "We'll talk about the royalties later."
"Now let's make sure Dayuan's test paper can be used."
"If I can pass the teachers' evaluation, we can talk about other things later."
Li Xiu'e said: "You must pay more attention to this matter. Don't let our Dayuan suffer any loss."
At this point, she waved to Cheng Jiadong and said, "Come here and help me find a bowl."
Although Cheng Jiadong was a little reluctant, he still followed his wife to the corridor. Li Xiu'e whispered, "I have already agreed with them to meet at the Dongfeng Hotel at the corner of South Street after the physical examination in the morning."
"Just tell Dayuan to treat him to a nice meal outside."
"By the way, don't say hello to Lao Chen when you see him, understand?"
Although Cheng Jiadong felt that it was a bit early to introduce a date to Cheng Xuyuan, seeing his wife's serious look, he could only say, "Okay, I'll take him there after the physical examination tomorrow."
Li Xiu'e said, "Old Cheng, that girl is really suitable for our Dayuan. She has the right appearance and the right height."
"Plus, he knows everything about me, so he is much better than Shen Yumo."
"You have to take this seriously and don't give up. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to Lao Chen and the others."
Although Cheng Jiadong was impatient, under Li Xiu'e's gaze, he could only say, "Okay, I will definitely do it."
Just then, Cheng Xudong shouted, "Mom, is the meal ready? I'm hungry."
Hearing her son's words, Li Xiu'e frowned. This rascal only knew how to eat all day long.
They are both grandsons of the same grandfather, so why is his cousin so outstanding? Not only was he admitted to Yenching University, he was also able to write his own exam papers. Alas, from ancient times to the present, the world has always been dominated by literate people.
She snorted in dissatisfaction, glared at her son, and then quickly said, "The meal is ready, come and help carry the bowls."
Cheng Jiadong looked at Li Xiu'e who was busy with her work, and knew in his heart that he had to go through with the blind date tomorrow.
Otherwise, he will be in trouble.
It's a bit late today, please forgive me, thank you.
