The four of them discussed where to go for tutoring. Wen Liang originally wanted to find a secluded cake shop or a small restaurant with private rooms. There were suitable ones near the school, so that everyone could have tutoring and eat at the same time. But he suddenly thought that Ji Su might not have the money to go to these places now. With her personality, she would definitely not agree if he paid for it. After thinking about it, he had to take care of her self-esteem and the place had to be comfortable. In the end, Wen Liang made the decision and took the three of them to Qinghe Soy Milk Shop.
As soon as he got out of the car, Ren Yi shouted, "So this is your family's business, and you're so tight-lipped. What's the matter? Are you afraid to give me a discount?"
Meng Ke said, "That's right. I told you that Su Su brought you breakfast every day, but you didn't react. It turns out that you feel ashamed to eat your own food."
Ji Su smiled and tried to stop her, and the two of them dodged and quarreled. Seeing that he had aroused public anger, Wen Liang bowed and smiled, "My family can't afford to open a store, this is owned by one of my uncles. Bayi Road is relatively close to our homes, and it will be convenient to take the bus after the tutoring is finished."
The four of them chatted and laughed as they entered the store, and saw Ning Xiaoning standing at the cashier counter, calculating the bills with a calculator. Wen Liang leaned over to take a look and asked, "Where's Xiaoyin? Why is it your turn to collect the money?"
Ning Xiaoning heard Wen Liang's voice and said without raising her head, "Xiaoyin caught a cold today and left early. I'll just take stock of today."
"Ning Xiaoning?"
Ren Yi was extremely excited. Although he knew that Ning Xiaoning and Wen Liang had a special relationship, seeing this cold beauty at such a close distance still made him feel very excited. Seizing every opportunity that could be used was a dream that Ren Yi would never give up. He rubbed his hands, walked over with a shy smile, and said, "Hello, I am..."
Ning Xiaoning raised her head, and her furrowed brows immediately made Ren Yi swallow the rest of his words. Without even looking at him, she stared at Wen Liang's face and said, "Who are these people?"
Ji Su took two steps forward and said with a smile: "My name is Ji Su, and I'm in the same class with Wen Liang. Ning Xiaoning, hello!"
Ning Xiaoning really didn't know Ji Su. She seldom paid attention to school affairs, and with her personality, she had no interest in pretending not to know him to intimidate others. She nodded to show that she knew the name, and then continued to settle accounts.
Ren Yi felt embarrassed and retreated with a wry smile, but he was used to being hit hard and didn't care about it at all. He still looked at Ning Xiaoning excitedly. Wen Liang even suspected that he was considering taking out a notebook and asking someone to give him an autograph.
Meng Ke stuck out his tongue, leaned over to Ji Su's ear and whispered, "It's so cold, just like in the legend."
Ji Su bent his elbow and gently touched her, telling her not to talk too much, with a faint smile on his face. Wen Liang asked the three to sit down first, and turned to go into the operation room. Li Shengli was busy inside. When he saw Wen Liang, he grabbed him without caring about the flour on his hands, and couldn't suppress the excitement in his voice: "Wei Gang...really..."
Wen Liang smiled and nodded, flipping through the booklet beside the operating table, which was densely packed with data, and asked, "What is this?"
When Li Shengli mentioned this, he immediately became excited and pointed at the data above to explain to Wen Liang. After listening, Wen Liang understood that Li Shengli was experimenting with the standardized procedures he had explained to him last time, trying to accurately record the best operating process with numbers and make it into a practical manual. This kind of experiment requires thousands of efforts, and only when the heat, materials, and time are mastered can it be possible to achieve assembly line operation while ensuring the taste.
Wen Liang praised it highly. In just a few days, Li Shengli had initially explored several feasible methods. What he needed now was to choose the most scientific and economical one, and then refine, decompose and finalize it, and finally form a set of effective and standardized operating methods.
After chatting for a while, Wen Liang said that he would come to the soy milk shop to make up for his lessons in the next few days. Li Shengli naturally welcomed him warmly and asked how to solve the problem of dinner and whether he wanted to find a restaurant to order food. Wen Liang knew that Ji Su would not agree, so he thought about it and decided to use local materials, one cup of soy milk and one fried dough stick for each person. This standard was not too high, and perhaps Ji Su could accept it.
Li Shengli came out and greeted the three people and went back to the inner room to get busy. There were not many customers in the store. Meng Ke and Ren Yi sat on one side, and Ji Su sat alone on the other side, leaving the seat next to him empty. The three of them sat there in silence. Only the sound of Ning Xiaoning typing on the keyboard could be heard. The atmosphere in the store was a little awkward. When Wen Liang passed by the cash register, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "These three are my friends..." Then he sat over calmly, took out the textbook and said: "Teachers, where should we start? Do you want to take a Rehmannia pill first?"
Ning Xiaoning stared at Wen Liang's back, with a look of amusement and anger in her eyes. She bit her lower lip and thought for a while, then threw away the calculator, took four cups of soy milk and walked over. Her cold face was rarely filled with a gentle smile: "It must be tiring to help the idiot Wen Liang with his lessons, right? I'll treat everyone to soy milk."
Wen Liang didn't bother to argue with her. Since she had condescended to come over and say hello, he just accepted the fact that she insulted him a few times.
Ren Yi was instantly overwhelmed by a huge sense of happiness. He stared at Ning Xiaoning's beautiful face and said foolishly, "Not tired, not tired..."
Wen Liang had a headache. He never thought that Brother Ren’s immunity to beautiful women was so low. Who is Ning Xiaoning? Don’t make her go crazy!
Ning Xiaoning was not angry at all, she smiled at Ren Yi: "Hello!"
Ren Yi also realized that he overreacted. He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Hello, my name is Ren Yi, and I am Wen Liang's deskmate. Actually, I am not like this usually."
"Well, I heard Wen Liang mention you, and I often saw you eating together in the cafeteria. By the way, I also heard the girls in Class 7 discussing you. They said that you write good poems..."
Ning Xiaoning is actually the most proficient in the ways of the world among the girls of the same age that Wen Liang knows. If she wants to make friends with someone seriously, her words and conversations will be like a spring breeze, filling the body and mind with warmth. Not to mention Ren Yi, even Liu Zhihe may not be good enough!
Ren Yi's smug look was almost engraved on his face, and he said modestly: "I dare not, I dare not, I am just a little better than Wen Liang."
Ning Xiaoning smiled and glanced at Wen Liang. Ji Su and Meng Ke looked at each other and burst out laughing. Everyone knew that Ren Yi was joking, but he deliberately looked at Wen Liang and expressed his contempt with his eyes.
Wen Liang was defeated by Ren Yi, a typical man who stabbed his brother in the back for a woman. He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, waiters, please return to your work. Everyone else, please study quickly. If you continue to chat, I will slap your palms one by one."
Ning Xiaoning was not in a good mood towards Wen Liang. She snorted coldly, raised her proud head and turned away. Although Ji Su and the other two had many questions about Ning Xiaoning's work here, no one asked them. Children have their own thoughts, and they are afraid that something inappropriate will hurt others.
"Let's get started. Meng'er, help Ren Yi review math first. I think he's pretty good at liberal arts." Ji Su watched the two nod, then smiled at Wen Liang and said, "Okay, Wen Liang, there's no limit to the subject matter. Write an English composition for me with about 100 words."
Wen Liang secretly praised that Ji Su was a very competent study committee member and English class representative. High school English is nothing more than grammar and vocabulary. The college entrance examination in 1995 did not test listening. A student's true level can be known from his composition. He pondered for a while and finished writing in less than five minutes. When he handed it to Ji Su, the disappointment in her eyes was vaguely visible.
In high school, no one could write an English composition in five minutes. Even Ma Song, a talented student who ranked first in the city in all subjects and total score in the high school entrance examination, couldn't do it!
Although Ji Su knew that Wen Liang's grades were very poor, deep down in her heart, she felt that Wen Liang seemed omnipotent, and subconsciously hoped that he would give her more surprises as he had in the past.
Reality is always cruel. In five minutes, maybe he only wrote "My name is wen liang".
Ji Su shook his head and laughed, he found his own mentality funny. Whether his grades were good or not would not affect his feelings. It was an overly demanding fantasy to demand perfection from a person.
After taking the composition book, Ji Su was quickly stunned by the beautiful writing, rich vocabulary, and substantial content. Although he didn't recognize many of the words, he could still understand from some simple sentences that Wen Liang was praising a girl: beautiful, strong, with self-respect and self-love.
Ji Su knew that this was an article written for himself!
Meng Ke was quick-eyed and reached out to see Wen Liang's masterpiece. Ji Su glanced at Wen Liang, suppressed his heartbeat, quickly tore off the paper, put it in his pocket, and said, "What is this? Meng'er, don't read it, lest Wen Liang be embarrassed. Well, do another math problem for me..."
Two hours passed quickly. The four of them were divided into pairs for tutoring. When they had any difficult questions, they gathered together to discuss them. It was quite enjoyable. After Ning Xiaoning finished the inventory, she helped Li Shengli clean up and organize the items in the workroom. She was very busy all the time. Occasionally, she would stop and glance at the four of them. There was no change on her calm face. I don't know what she was thinking.
In just two hours, Wen Liang really shocked Ji Su. Not to mention English, except for some minor grammatical errors, his rich vocabulary was impressive; his basic Chinese skills were very solid, and he could solve many difficult problems in mathematics, physics and chemistry as long as he had formulas; his secondary subjects were a little worse, and he didn't know many things that needed to be memorized, but strangely, he knew a lot. For example, in history, Wen Liang couldn't remember what historical events happened in a certain year, but he could tell the causes and consequences of this event, and the deep political and social significance of the event in a very exciting way, which was more interesting and profound than the teacher's. A large part of the two hours was wasted listening to him talk about history.
Wen Liang put down his textbook, stretched himself, and said with a smile: "How is it? Is my level acceptable?"
The three of them looked down on him, making Wen Liang laugh. When leaving, Ji Su said hello to Ning Xiaoning. The two beautiful girls kept a subtle distance and sense of propriety, and the atmosphere was quite strange. After sending the three people to leave by bus, Wen Liang returned. Ning Xiaoning stood on the steps at the door, looking down at him, and suddenly asked, "Is this the girl that Xu Yao and you helped some time ago?"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Not bad, what's wrong?"
Ning Xiaoning was silent for a moment, leaning against the white wall beside the door, with one toe bent back and resting on the wall, her eyes drooping, her long eyelashes blinking, and she whispered, "Xu Yao likes you, do you know that?"
