Xu Xilin made up his mind more than once, and wanted to provoke the head of the family—the first time was when he went home to report his grandmother's funeral, the second time was when Zheng Shuo came to ask for custody, and this time, when Aunt Du left, grandma I have tried to sell my house three times in total.
The first time, he cheered up for a moment, held up the scene in front of outsiders, and then collapsed.
The second time, it was Zheng Shuo who gave him a booster, and the college entrance examination was ahead of him, so he was relieved under Dou Xun's care, and the last part of his life in the ivory tower was finished safely. However, as soon as the college entrance examination was over, he lost his original direction, and he was devastated by the house show he had never cared about, and he almost retreated.
Xu Xilin felt that he didn't take any action anymore, which meant that "the mediocre people are always determined".
Looking at it, Xu Xilin found that one of the main reasons for Dou Xun's heart was that he was strong in action. He would immediately go to whatever he wanted to do, sit down and write a plan, and execute it as soon as he was done. Take it step by step—if it fails, then tear up the plan, and after the event There will be setbacks, but it's definitely better than torturing yourself back and forth.
Xu Xilin felt that he had already done the most outrageous things, and his mind was broadened a lot. He simply didn't think about a lot of messy things.
He first figured out that without a professional like Aunt Du, it would be impossible to keep the house as organized and clean as before, and the quality of life had to be compromised, so he made a table similar to the class schedule, called Together with Dou Xun, he divided all the chores at home into seven groups. There was only one group of tasks per day. The grandmother on the first floor would help. Dou Xun was also very sensible in this regard. Minutes, in this way, is equivalent to tidying up the whole house in a week. The house may not be very clean, but it is passable.
For tasks that were not easy to do, such as cleaning up the kitchen, toilet, and glass, Xu Xilin made the decision by himself.
When it comes to the use of money, Xu Xilin used to be the master of the matter, and his back was always not hard, because he didn't make money.
So he quickly found something for himself—Xu Xilin had a lot of friends since he was a kid, and he contacted a junior high school classmate. That classmate couldn't study well. After graduating from junior high school, he didn't go to high school and went directly to a technical school. I have long since lost contact with my classmates who were fighting for the college entrance examination. Only Xu Xilin talked to him a few times during the New Year and holidays. The classmate called him to greet him when he got his college entrance examination results a while ago.
This classmate has a bear child from a relative's family. His grades in the middle school entrance examination were not very good. The family was thinking that since it was already destined to go to the general high school, he would run a little earlier, and he would not be a "phoenix tail", and he would be a "chicken head" in the future. That's fine, so I gathered a few children who were in a similar situation to him, found a teacher, gave them a list of things to learn in high school in advance, and watched them not go out to cause trouble during the summer vacation.
The teacher is an old man who I don't know where to find him. It is said that he is a super teacher. He can't tell if his level is high or not. Anyway, his character is not very good. Fat, put them together, put a sack on the old hooligan, and beat him up.
The old hooligan met the little hooligan, and he didn't dare to speak out, so he had to say that he was not in good health because of his age, and he returned the tuition fee and left in despair.
But the parents don't know about this and still want to find another teacher. However, older teachers charge high fees, and several of them are not very wealthy. There is no need to spend so much to enlighten children. Younger teachers or tutoring students can’t hold back this group of hooligans.
Xu Xilin said: "I think you are quite suitable in terms of comprehensive conditions."
Xu Xilin always felt that this sentence did not sound like he was complimenting him.
However, he agreed for five minutes, because Xu Xilin has grown so big, and he has never run around because of the money of three melons and two dates. Xu Jin occasionally tells him about external affairs, but he often advertises himself as being powerful, but rarely. When she mentioned her difficulties to him, she felt that children were narrow-minded and knew more about the difficulties that were supposed to be prepared for adults, so they were prone to fear. How can a young man be afraid? He should know modest frugality, but not poverty—otherwise it is the parent's fault.
She just didn't expect to go so hastily.
So although he has the intention, but let Xu Xilin come up with a particularly good way to make money for a while, he has no idea.
At this time, it takes 15 to 30 hours for a college student to be tutored in the market, which is more limited than part-time work. There are seven children in total here. The students were paid ten yuan per hour, which together made seventy per hour, although it was not enough for a meal. But Xu Xilin knew that according to his qualifications, this was really a "high salary".
Besides, this work sounds very interesting. When Dou Xun held the alarm clock to press his school, Xu Xilin had already had enough, so he just took this opportunity to turn over as a serf and sing and torture others.
Dou Xun actually wanted to come along too, but during the holidays, the classes in the boxing gym would occupy him five afternoons a week, which happened to be staggered from Xu Xilin's classes for the bear children.
He has been sticking to Xu Xilin recently. He used to be embarrassed, but one close contact was enough for him to tear his face apart, wishing he could stick together like glue. Dou Xunshi, who knew the taste, was completely damaged by Xu Xilin. He was in a hurry when he was teasing him with a small pornographic film not long ago. As a result, Xu Xilin couldn't find a paper cutter to go to the door the night before, and as soon as he opened the door, he found someone Watching "The Education of Love" with a serious face.
The location of the class is Xu Xilin's classmate's own home. Their home has a small supermarket and a warehouse-like place next to it. A few tables, chairs and a small blackboard are vacated.
Xu Xi was shocked by the classroom discipline when he went to the first day. There were seven children, four boys and three girls. Some were shaking their legs on the table, some were smoking beside them, and there was a girl who didn't know why. I thought, maybe she wanted to look mature, paint her eyebrows and draw her eyes, and came here wearing the "fashion" of her grandmother's age.
Xu Xilin felt that he had grown ten years old the moment he walked into this small broken warehouse, and spontaneously changed from a "slightly older bear boy" to a "reliable adult" role. He looked around and received After a few pairs of provocative eyes, he reached out and pointed at the guy who was shaking his legs: "It's too much impotence."
The boy who was in the process of losing fat was completely cut off.
Xu Xilin turned to the one who smoked again: "If you don't shy away from smoking in front of a girl, your courtship journey in your life may have to go through ninety-nine-eighty-one hardships, believe it or not?"
The smoker pinched the cigarette, Xu Xilin pushed open the window, put his hands in his pockets, sat on the "lecture table", and said like a younger brother Xun: "I'm here to be a teacher for you, for a month, every time Five days, three hours a day, in order to prevent us from torturing each other for the next sixty hours, any comments and questions you have for me can be raised now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a well-behaved girl raised her hand. Xu Xilin thought she was a little white flower that emerged from the mud and was unstained, so he nodded at her.
As a result, the little white flower with her double ponytail asked softly, "Teacher, will you insult us?"
"..." Xu Xilin was silent for a while, and almost blurted out, "Look at your face, I have a higher moral integrity when facing you like this." Later, he felt that it was meaningless to show a little girl in the middle school in public, so he swallowed it back. .
Xu Xilin: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I have a partner."
A group of bear children began to jeer: "Teacher, can you bring it to us to see?"
"No," Xu Xilin said. "His appearance fee is relatively high—what's the problem?"
The little white flower raised her hand again, and this time, before Xu Xilin nodded, she asked herself, "Teacher, can we insult you?"
Xu Xilin finally knew why this group of people couldn't find a decent tutor when they got together. The 70 yuan was really hard to earn.
"Okay," Xu Xilin said. "Go home and tell your mother, the teacher will charge extra for extra services. Indecent assault will pay 5,000 U.S. dollars. Cash transactions do not require card swiping, and wholesale is 10% off."
The Xiong students heard that this teacher is in the key class of No. 6 Middle School. He just entered a key university this year. They thought he was a good nerd. Who knew that they were all from the same country. Daoxing a little, so they all sat down steadily in the simple classroom and listened to Xu Xilin's nonsense.
Xu Xilin originally prepared the lessons carefully according to the materials that Dou Xun helped him review before, but only when he met, he found out that the students were this kind of stuff, and immediately adjusted the teaching goals according to their aptitude - mainly nonsense, supplemented by a few sentences of high school learning experience. , Occasionally say a few words of high school knowledge that has just finished the college entrance examination, and three hours have passed quickly.
The students hated the pressure of the classroom. Xu Xilin, the "teacher", wished he could leave the get out of class earlier than the students. The two sides reached an agreement to be friendly and ended the mutual torture in the evening.
After taking the class for three days like this, Xu Xilin couldn't take it anymore. It was really hard to imagine what it would be like to keep the volume and keep talking for several hours in a row - especially the bear children are like nails in their buttocks, when they gossip. It's more like a person who concentrates and talks about serious things and loses his mind for a while, as if there is "knowledge isolation".
One day it was fresh, the next day it started to have a sore throat, and on the third day Xu Xilin wished he was dumb.
In the past, he didn't like drinking water, but now it's enough to look at those small plastic bottles with red and green flowers. No one said him. He changed a pot of tea and took it with him every day. , comfortable for a few minutes, and uncomfortable when talking.
Every enthusiasm for preaching, teaching and solving puzzles has ended in the reality of "students are idiots". Xu Xilin was smug at the beginning, thinking that it would be good to set up a training institution like New Oriental in the future. New Oriental teaches English, he can teach math. However, when Mr. Xu took the post for two days, he dismissed the idea.
Xu Xilin realized that it was not easy for Qilixiang, and made up his mind that he would never give the teacher a nickname in the future. After a week, only the little girl with two ponytails who had molested him at the beginning could listen to it, and one day she actually went home. After doing the questions and asking them back, Xu Xilin was inexplicably moved when she looked at her little workbook that didn't get one question right. He originally ran away after class, but he stayed that day for the first time to pull out every question and teach her to her. .
He said, the girl stood by and listened, and Xu Xilin asked, "Do you understand?"
She didn't say anything, Xu Xilin looked up at her and found that the girl was not studying the exercises, but was staring at him.
The little girl asked, "Teacher, do the girls in the key point look good?"
"..." Xu Xilin's enthusiasm for teaching just now was extinguished by her words, and he clarified his tea roots without answering. He said, "There are good-looking and ugly ones."
The little girl asked in surprise, "Don't they all say that women have big breasts and no brains?"
"First, the chest and the brain are not made of the same material, and there is no exclusive relationship. Second, reading a key point is not 'brain', it can only be said that the junior high school did some serious things in school. Third, how about you? What does looking good have to do with your breasts?" Xu Xilin spoke more and more in Dou Xun's style, pushed her homework book forward, packed her things and stood up, "Okay, if you have no problem, I'll leave."
"Teacher, I think you are quite individual," the little girl said nonchalantly, "Can I be your girlfriend? Sleep."
Xu Xilin: "..."
He looked back at the film of the little girl with her pair of ponytails, her little face was very tender and round, and suddenly there was a vicissitude in her heart: "No, the teacher is not a showman."
After he finished speaking, he threw off the rotten peach blossom and ran away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he met Dou Xun.
Xu Xilin: "..."
Dou Xun rode his bicycle out, and the coquettish bicycle later asked someone to add a nondescript rear seat. Dou Xun is a very time-conscious person. Usually Xu Xilin goes home at a fixed time. On any day, he will be delayed for a while, and he will ask him five minutes later. This day, Xu Xilin was half an hour late, so he simply came here... Finally heard this.
Inexplicably guilty, Xu Xilin walked over and hung the water glass on Dou Xun's handlebars, reaching out and smoothing the hair on his head.
Dou Xun may have wanted to hide at first, but then he stuck his neck and didn't move, looked back over Xu Xilin's shoulder, and watched the little girl come out very unfriendly.
Dou Xun is a bit lonely, and Xu Xilin discovered it early. If he was asked to buy some food and go back to the dormitory classmates for points, that would be fine, but if Xu Xilin occasionally brought him some snacks from the supermarket and told him to give them to the classmates, Dou Xun would not listen to him, he would be his own. embezzled, and did not leave "a grain of food left for the enemy".
Dou Xun is not stingy with people, but he clearly distinguishes between "something specially given to me" and "something bought to invite others to eat". Even if it is the same beef jerky, he can tell which one is by the product number and production date. It can be distributed to others, which one belongs to him, and others are not allowed to touch it.
Xu Xilin was afraid of what he would say, so he quickly coaxed and said, "Let's go, let's go home, it's already too late, grandma should be in a hurry."
Dou Xun felt very uncomfortable and didn't say a word all the way. When Xu Xilin first started taking this job, he didn't feel anything, but when he was preparing for the lesson, he took out the big subject logic context that Dou Xun had drawn for him at that time. Xu Xilin knew very well about his dog temper, so he didn't dare to tell others to use it. He just said that this idea was very smooth, and he could refer to it to see what logical order he could teach these broken students.
Even so, Dou Xun was still embarrassed, as if the confidential documents had been leaked, because the reason was too unreasonable, and he knew it himself, so he didn't say it clearly, that is, the nose was not the nose or the eyes for several days. Just a little bit, and it happened again.
Dou Xun took the person and pedaled the bicycle into a near-ground rocket all the way. He didn't stop when he got home. He directly lifted the handlebar and crashed into the courtyard. It was only when he hit a stone step that he could brake suddenly. Xu Xilin slammed into him heavily. on the back.
Xu Xilin was helpless, considering that his grandmother was still on the first floor, he chased after him and said in a low voice, "I didn't do anything."
When he looked up, he found that the grey parrot was staring at him curiously, Xu Xilin quickly shut up. This bird is learning its tongue recently, and it will be broken if it hears that it learns to walk.
Dou Xun knew that he didn't do anything—it's fine, he can fire up a fire openly, so as not to be offended by this territory, so he ran upstairs angrily.
Xu Xilin: "Hey you..."
His throat had been sore all the time, and when the voice was a little louder, he split and coughed.
The grey parrot tilted his head and stared at him for a while, then followed suit: "Cough, cough, cough!"
Xu Xilin impatiently imitated Dou Xun, stretched out his hand to compare the gun, pointed at the bird, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll kill you."
Grey parrot: "Beep beep!"
Dou Xun was sulking all night, and before he went to bed, he finally recovered himself. Xu Xilin read a book and was about to turn off the lamp to sleep when he suddenly found that his door had been pushed open through a small crack, and Dou Xun was sandwiching the pillow. The quilt came in: "I want to sleep with you."
I think Dou Xun's dress is quite strange. Perhaps knowing that it was cold in his room, Dou Xun deliberately changed into a pair of thicker pajama pants. He only wore a vest on the upper body, and thick furry pants underneath. The pajama pants had pockets. Also put it in his pocket.
Xu Xilin's bed was very spacious for one person, so the two of them were a little crowded, but considering that Dou Xun finally managed to get rid of the fire, he still pushed the pillow in with the heart of coaxing Dou Xun: "Come on. Bar."
Dou Xun put his pockets in, walked in in a paralyzed position, and put down his bedding. When Xu Xilin saw it, he really deserved to be a top student. Before going to bed, he was holding a thick notebook. The notebook was covered with small notes for marking. There was also a pen on the leather. At night, he had to write and draw before going to bed. For a long time, Xu Xilin went to see Duke Zhou early, but he didn't know when he slept.
For the next few days, Dou Xun will move before going to bed. Fortunately, he sleeps honestly, and the air-conditioned room is warm even after being squeezed, so it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.
One day, when Dou Xun was doing his research work before going to bed, Xu Xilin yawned, glanced at his notebook, vaguely saw the anatomy chart, and asked, "Are you all so busy or only your majors? Want to review your notes?"
Dou Xun paused for a while with the tip of his pen flying up and down between the papers, and made an unnatural "um", and adjusted his posture at the same time to make sure Xu Xilin couldn't see what notes he was studying.
Xu Xilin lay on his side on the pillow and looked at him with a straight smile: "Isn't it because I failed the course and are preparing to make up the exam?"
Dou Xun rolled his eyes, indicating that he said something unreasonably stupid.
Xu Xilin: "It's okay, I'm really happy to say it out."
His voice was not sharp, his voice was not high, and he was always hoarse. Dou Xun's ears moved sensitively, and he involuntarily touched his pocket. He ignored Xu Xilin and quickly browsed the notes he had made with Xu Xilin every night during this period, feeling that his theoretical knowledge was almost ready.
For a time, Dou Xun seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly closed the notebook, threw it on the bedside table, and turned to meet Xu Xilin's gaze.
Xu Xilin was stared at by him with a question mark on his forehead.
Dou Xun suddenly lifted his quilt and got in, raised a hand solemnly like a seal, and pressed it on Xu Xilin's chest.
