The person who opened the door was a woman in her early forties, with a calico kerchief on her head, a pair of black glasses, and a homely virtuousness in her intelligence.
"Hello, I'm Li Rou, the tutor introduced by Mr. Qian." Li Rou said with a smile, the first impression was good, the employer doesn't seem like the kind of person who is very difficult to get in touch with.
"Please come in." The woman laughed.
Li Rou changed his shoes and walked into the living room. A man was sitting on the sofa. The man was a little older, also wearing glasses and a cardigan, and looked at Li Rou.
"Hello, may I have your surname?" Li Rou asked.
"Miangui's surname is Zhao, and my wife's surname is Xie." The man smiled and nodded.
"Ms. Zhao, Mr. Xie...Mr. Qian must have introduced me to the two of you. Let me introduce myself again. Li Rou, a sophomore at National University, has been a tutor since freshman and has nearly two years of tutoring experience. You are good at all subjects, you two can ask your children to test me, whether it is the difficulty of the ordinary college entrance examination or the difficulty of the Olympic competition, there is no problem, you can also try a class." Li Rou is still accustomed to the opening remarks, in fact, this is also It’s just a scene, because the children of those two families have improved their grades very fast since Li Rou took over the tutoring. Those two students admire Li Rou very much, because no teacher can answer any of their subjects with various difficulties. . With such word-of-mouth and results, there must be no problem with Li Rou's interview.
"Let me introduce to you the situation of our child. She is a girl. She will be in the third year of high school next semester. She is quite smart, but it is difficult to concentrate in class. She loves to play and make trouble. Her Chinese scores are average. It's quite reluctant, as for physics... I won't talk about it." Teacher Zhao sighed.
This... This means that all subjects are not good enough. Li Rou has some headaches for such students, "That's four subjects tutoring... If this is the case, I will increase the price depending on the situation."
"Price is not a problem. Both of us are professors at Zhonghai University. My child's grades are not good. It's really embarrassing. It's useless to find a lot of tutors. The children of Lao Qian's family used to have worse grades than our children. One point, we are also envious to see Lao Qian's red face now, he said it is all thanks to you, so we put our hope on you." Teacher Xie said worriedly.
"I don't dare to make many guarantees, but I will do my best." Li Rou did not dare to guarantee that the student is a girl, who is still studying science. , purely depends on talent.
"I don't think there is a problem." Teacher Zhao looked at his wife, waiting for her to make a decision.
"It's just... He should be the type that high school girls like?" Teacher Xie was a little worried. Li Rou was tall, calm and generous. From the eyes of the elders, such a child was very good, but after all, his child was a girl. Son, it's not uncommon for this girl to fall in love with a tutor.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Teacher Zhao asked directly.
"There are girls I like, but I don't have a girlfriend. I don't plan to fall in love during college, and the girl I like thinks the same way." Li Rou understands the parents' concerns.
"That's good. Children nowadays don't care whether they can take responsibility or not, and they don't consider the consequences of puppy love at all. Our parents are too worried. There are few boys who think like you, and that child is not here. In school, we are in love, and we seldom have contact with boys, so we just say it casually, you don’t have to bear any burden, just communicate normally.” Teacher Xie said happily.
"She is studying in the study, I will take it there." Teacher Zhao got up, walked to the study, and opened the door.
Li Rou followed and walked in. After all, it was a family with two professors, the conditions were good, and there was a separate study room. It would be better not to be in the girls' room as a tutor for girls.
"Zhao Hou, I hired a tutor for you, you can meet up with me." Teacher Zhao said.
"Zhao Ho?" Li Rou, who has such a unique name, will never forget that he heard it from Li Shishi.
"No, no, my academic performance is good. I won't embarrass you when I work harder in my third year of high school." Zhao Bao said impatiently.
Li Rou wanted to slip away, but he was too embarrassed to tell the two of them to hire someone else.
"Why are you like this kid? This is a teacher introduced by your uncle Qian. You can teach all subjects. You can't find such a tutor even with a lantern." Teacher Zhao said seriously.
"All subjects? This is the first time I've heard of such a master. Can he teach me Elvish language?" Zhao Mao turned his head and saw Li Rou.
Li Rou covered his face and turned his head to pretend to admire the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
"What elf language? You can't even learn English well." Teacher Zhao scolded.
Zhao Ho stood up, squinted at Li Rou, and walked over slowly.
Li Rou turned around 180 degrees.
"Okay, I guess he is even better at Tang poetry." Zhao Mao stood at the door, "Dad, you go out first, I will test him."
"No problem?" Seeing her daughter change her tone, Teacher Zhao happily patted Li Rou on the shoulder: "It's up to you."
Li Rou squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and watched Teacher Zhao leave.
Zhao Ho closed the door and locked it, then leaned behind the door and looked at Li Rou coldly: "Poetry Immortal? Sword Immortal? Li Bai?"
Li Rou sighed, after all, he had to face it. Although he knew this address was the teacher's community of Zhong Hai University, and knew that Li Shishi and Zhao Mao were both in this community, Li Rou never thought that he would meet Zhao Bao by such a coincidence. , she is still his tutor student.
"You turn to page 18, the last sentence of the third paragraph." Li Rou went to the desk and handed Zhao Ho a brand new English textbook for the second year of high school.
Zhao Baozheng was hostile to him, and when he saw this inexplicable behavior, he immediately opened it, "Eacher, what do you mean?"
"It doesn't matter if I'm a poet, sword or Li Bai, I'm your teacher now." Li Rou pointed to the Chinese textbook of the first year of high school, "turn to the third paragraph of the eighth text after class."
"Miss Roslin walked slowly to the door, put out the light, and said to the host: You can think I'm a liar, or you can continue to be hostile to me, but please believe that I treat this job with sincerity. If you don't want to pay me a shilling at the end of the trial period, I can leave quietly." Zhao Bao read, and then there was a hint of surprise in his vigilant eyes.
"Your textbook is really new..." Li Rou looked and found a commonly used extracurricular tutoring book, "There is a motto under the eighteenth set of test papers."
Zhao Ho quickly opened the tutorial book and found the motto Li Rou said: "Giving others a chance to explain is tantamount to gaining a chance for yourself to know the truth."
"What do you want to explain?" Zhao Ho opened his mouth and looked at Li Rou in disbelief.
Li Rou casually took his history textbook and opened it to Zhao Ho, pointing to a passage under Bowennev's portrait: "Bowennev didn't realize that the two people had an unpleasant acquaintance, and they made a happy time, Bowennev The friendship with Leibniz began here, and if it were not for Bovenev's diary, posterity would not know that the friendship between a great physicist and a great mathematician began as a silly prank."
"Li... Li Bai... are you really Li Bai?" Zhao Ho shook his head vigorously, his eyes full of horror, is this still human? Does he turn all the books in his head? It's not that Zhao Po has never seen Bowen Guangji, but if Li Rou can pick it up at random, isn't it just that he can teach all subjects
"I said it all, it was a prank. I just made a small joke along Li Shishi that day. I didn't realize that she would believe it, so it developed into a deceitful prank. Now she firmly believes it, and I also believe it." I don’t want to... I even said clearly that I am not Li Bai. She had to say that I have to not believe that I am Li Bai in order to truly integrate into modern society. You said... when I met such an innocent, stubborn and innocent girl, I was wrong. Just take her word for it." Li Rou promised that Li Shishi would explain to Zhao Po, and it happened to be an opportunity.
"It's really just like that?" Zhao Ho was shaken, but she had always resolutely imagined Li Rou as a bad guy who deceived ignorant girls with bad intentions.
"My phone number, home address, school, and even a copy of my ID card are in the tutoring center and your father's friends. If I am a bad person and plan to do something bad to Li Shishi, I can't run away. If you are really worried, just think about it." Just follow my information."
"That's not necessary... Since you didn't mean it, forget it, and don't talk casually in the future." Zhao Mao waved his hands carelessly, "I just have a headache. Li Shishi firmly believes that you are Li Bai. I won't bother to talk to you in the future." She quarreled, as long as you didn't really have bad intentions for her."
"Of course not. I saw you in the car last time. I thought you were quite mature. I thought you were at least in college." There won't be a big difference in age, the key is that in comparison with Li Shishi, she seemed much more mature when she met Li Rou last time, and she didn't expect that she would only be in the third year of high school this semester.
"I put on makeup last time. Otherwise, people might look at me as a student, and they may be easy to be malicious." Zhao Ho looked at the door and said in a low voice.
"It's well transformed. At least it won't be regarded as a student. It's safer." Li Rou nodded. Zhao Bao is very smart, and Li Shishi is two extremes. It's really strange that my family members are also relieved.
"Okay, I'm satisfied with you, come and take a class with me. I want to learn your ability to know every subject textbook like the back of your hand." Zhao Bao said happily.
"That's more difficult, take your time. In June, I only come to teach you on Saturday and Sunday nights, and I come every night during the summer vacation. Is this okay?"
"no problem."
After talking with Zhao Bao, Li Rou walked out of the study room. There is no class today. It depends on whether the two parents want to listen again.
"This teacher can do it." Zhao Bao said to his father.
"That's good, that's good, the class will start next week." Teacher Xie said impatiently.
"Okay, I'll come directly next week." Li Rou said with a smile.
"I'll send the teacher out of the community." Zhao Bao said obediently.
"Have another sip of tea?" Mr. Xie warmly entertained.
"No, next time."
Li Rou and Zhao Ho went downstairs. Li Rou was about to push his electric car when he suddenly stopped Li Rou, "Wait, I'm calling Li Shishi."
"Why?" Li Rou actually thinks that Li Shishi is very funny, but she is also under pressure. For such a girl, when you do something to deceive her, even if it is unintentional, it will be a psychological burden.
"Calling her to play with you is like a nympho, thinking about you every day, knowing that you are my tutor, if she doesn't call her to come, she will have to break up with me." Zhao Bao said while dialing.
"Don't you guys know each other before?" Li Rou looked at the neighborhood as if it wasn't that big.
"Well, my family didn't live here before, and Li Shishi didn't often live here before. My parents knew her father." After Zhao Mao finished speaking, he had already dialed the phone: "Li Shishi, come downstairs to my house quickly, and I'll give you a surprise."
Li Rou had no choice but to wait, feeling a little guilty.
"Don't worry, I won't expose you. Even if I ask you to admit that you are not Li Bai in front of me and her, that stubborn guy won't care." Zhao Bao already knew Li Shishi very well.
After a while, Li Shishi, with two ponytails curled up, ran over bouncingly. When she saw Zhao Bao first, she shouted, "Xiao Bao, why do you want me? I still have to do my homework!"
"She is much more serious about studying than you." Li Rou whispered to Zhao Ho. He just looked at Zhao Ho's textbooks, and the brand new ones can be recycled as new textbooks.
After finishing speaking, Li Rou walked out from the shadow of the tree and stood under the streetlight.
"Brother Li Bai!" Li Shishi suddenly stopped in her tracks, shouted in surprise, and then ran over happily, obviously it was really a surprise.
Brother Li Bai... Although Zhao Mao was right next to him, making Li Rou a little uncomfortable, just listening to Li Shishi's childish and soft voice, he felt a little comfortable. Could it be that he is really addicted to being a brother?
