Chapter 2 — That Person Came From The Age Of 30

Luckily, it's past dinner time and I'm alone in the kitchen. “Two tigers, two tigers run really fast…” My off-key singing made the other end of the line laugh. My face turned red and I unconsciously sang even louder. “What are you screaming?!” The kitchen curtain was suddenly thrown open. The landlady shouted harshly: "I knew right away that you brat was not at peace. Seeing that no one was there, she became lazy. If she couldn't do it, then get out!" I immediately shut up and apologized profusely, but she still deducted half a day's salary. When I picked up the phone again, my face immediately turned pale. Sure enough, the phone call had long been disconnected. “Mu Tieu Tieu, you're really picking sesame seeds and putting melons in, you're so stupid you're so stupid!!!” At that moment, the "ting ting" sound of a text message rang out. 【Fail account 8934, May 18, 14:37 received 50,000 yuan…】 ！！！！ Blood rushed straight to my head, I jumped up and down on the spot a few times, almost wanting to kneel and bow to the young master right away. But unexpectedly that evening, the young master called again. 【What grade are you in? How are my achievements?】 I was stunned, not thinking he would ask this question, hesitantly replied: "I'm in 11th grade, I've always ranked first in the grade..." My voice became lower and lower, since my grandmother was hospitalized, I've been out of school for more than a month... "Okay, I want to take extra classes in English and Math for high school, I've transferred the money to you." Before my ears could react, my eyes immediately saw the payment receipt notice on the phone screen. I immediately took a breath of cold air. Single, tens, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand… 250,000 yuan!!!!!! On the other side, the teenager calmly said: "This is the tuition fee for four lessons." At this moment, the flying comments are crazier than me. 【She teaches 4 lessons and earns 250 thousand, but I plow and plow horses all year long, so what's 50 thousand?!】 【I'm number one in the school, I'm also the valedictorian of the province, young master, look at me ah ah!】 【Ah, why is the young master suddenly so passionate about studying?!】 I held my phone all night counting the number 0, the first thing when I woke up the next day was to go to rest. Part-time jobs outside. After that, I gathered all the textbooks for grades 10 and 11, stuffed them in my backpack, and went to the hospital. That way I can review my lessons while also taking care of my grandmother, it's truly a win-win situation. The young master scheduled supplementary lessons every Saturday, two hours per session. English is my strength, but Math is a bit weak in comparison. So I decided to start redoing all my 10th grade assignments from scratch. Time passed quietly with each stroke of the pen, and soon it was Saturday. I confidently took out the English test with a perfect score. As soon as I spread it out, the phone suddenly heard the sound of the young master rustling a book. “Read page 5 of the textbook to me.” I was stunned. Wait, who said we need to learn speaking skills?! “What's wrong, can't you read?” I took a deep breath, looked at the long reading on page 5, my eyes darkened. “Hau mo tang e zo cho da da da dat cai cai oh du bo pear da…” English has a strong “rural” quality to each word that burst out of my mouth. Comments flew across the screen laughing wildly: 【Is this in English? She dares to read, but I don't even dare to listen.】 【Oh my god, this pronunciation is so amazing, young master, if you can't hold back your laughter, it's terrible!】 【With this level, even memorizing it won't be enough, I'll definitely cheat money!】 I kept my mouth shut, face turned red. To be honest, my speaking skill is my fatal weakness. I thought I just needed to get a perfect score on the exam, but who would have thought... At that moment, the young master finally spoke: "Just follow me, I'll read one sentence, you repeat one sentence." Huh? The next second, a perfect English voice as if coming from a recording tape rang in my ears through the phone. The comments exploded again: 【Hey, who is teaching whom?】 【What game is the young master playing? Do you spend money to teach people?】 I didn't dare to think too much, I immediately repeated each sentence with the pronunciation according to his voice. After reading for two hours straight, my mouth and tongue were dry, but the young master finally generously forgave me. “That's all for today, go home and practice again, I'll test next week.” The phone hung up, I stared at the English book, momentarily forgetting what I came for today. But since it's the payer's request, I will of course comply. I started re-learning the phonetics and pronunciation of vocabulary. If I encountered any words I was unsure of, I boldly asked the young master. At the same time, I also specially prepared the Math teaching content. Last week we studied English, this week it must be Math's turn, right? Another Saturday, I confidently opened my English textbook. But after I finished reading the paragraph with all my affection, the other side of the phone didn't have any compliments like I expected. Silence for a long time. I tried to speak up: "Why didn't you say anything?" "I've made progress... Send me your address here, I'll send you a phone that can listen to audio, and then practice pronunciation accordingly." Having said that, he finally decided to start studying Math. My eyes lit up and I immediately took out an extra question from the test I had prepared. At that time in class, I was the only one who could do it. Today I must show him my true strength! Sure enough, as soon as I finished reading the question, there was silence on the other end of the line. “This question is a bit difficult, how do you solve it?” I tried to suppress my smile, took out my sketchbook, wrote down the formula and explained. Half an hour passed, I put down my pen: "So, do you understand?" On the other end of the line, the sound of pen scratching on paper also stopped. "At point a, draw a perpendicular to side bc, then take the intersection point as the center, try drawing an circumcircle to see." Huh? I did as he said, finished drawing the circle, looked at it for a moment, then widened my eyes. Wait... The answer is so obvious?! So what was the half-page of paper I was hunched over calculating just now?! "In the future, when you come across similar articles, you can try drawing the auxiliary line first. Then, continue with the next sentence." …… I carefully prepared 10 math problems, and for 8 of them the young master shared with me his own way of doing them. The solution method is not only flexible but also much faster than mine. …… In the end, am I teaching him or is he teaching me?! Very soon, I received the smartphone that the young master sent, and it was the exact white color I liked. The young master also thoughtfully sent me an audio file to practice listening to the lesson. Every day I spend two hours practicing reading, and without realizing it, my English speaking ability has improved significantly. What makes me happiest is that thanks to no longer having to worry about money, my grandmother's health has recovered very well and she can go home to rest. In During the meal, grandmother put down the bowl of soup, sighed softly and looked out the window at the bare garden. I understood the meaning and immediately said: "Grandma, after eating, let me go dig the land and plant some vegetables." But she held my hand and smiled helplessly: "Idiot, it's not because I want to grow vegetables now. It's just the money I saved for my grandchild to go to college, but in the end I spent it all on this old body." "I'm at school age, but because of you, I have to drop out of school and work to support the family. Grandma..." Looking into her red eyes, my nose stung, the emotions I had been trying to suppress for the past few months finally collapsed completely. The sound of cicadas outside the window became more and more intense. I hugged the weak body in front of me and cried uncontrollably. Sixteen years ago, also in the summer, I lost my mother. Sixteen years later, in the same summer, I kept the person I love the most. My grandmother did not believe that I had met a boss who had money and was generous. On the contrary, she was worried that I would be scammed. I scratched my head and showed her the money I just took back: "Even though the boss gave me a lot of money, I also gave him... um... for example, some sentimental value!" Finally convincing her, I brought fruit with me, and by the way, paid off all the debt I had borrowed from all over the alley earlier. At night I hugged my grandmother's arm. "Grandma, I go back to school tomorrow, I've got some rice in the pot for you. If there's anything at home, just call me. If it's too urgent, ask neighbor Mr. Truong. I already told you." My head was gently stroked by a wrinkled hand: "I know, why are you more talkative than this old lady?" I laughed, hugged her even tighter, raised my head to look at the bright moonlight outside the window, and closed my eyes in satisfaction.
