Teaching Chen Xiu was too difficult for Qi Muyang. Mathematics and comprehensive science were okay, but his comprehension was poor and he learned slowly. I didn't need to teach him too much every day, but Chinese and English were too scary.
Chen Xiu is like an emotionless memorizing machine. He used to memorize all subjects by heart, but now he only memorizes Chinese and English. In addition, he has come out of his previous state of high expectations but poor skills. His typos are getting fewer and fewer, and his progress is getting faster and faster. In order to explain various annotations and word meanings to him, Qi Muyang can only ask Qi Weichen to tutor him at night. Even for the texts that he has not had time to memorize, he can almost memorize them after understanding various annotations.
Qi Muyang was exhausted, but every time he saw Chen Xiu waiting for his class with anticipation, he could only swallow his anger and continue teaching with all his might.
After seeing all this, Chu Qing gloated a little: "Fortunately, I didn't agree to teach Chen Xiu, otherwise I would be exhausted."
Qi Weichen, who was sitting next to her, glanced at her leisurely: "Mu Yang has now finished studying all the contents of the first semester of Grade One and is about to start reviewing for the second semester of Grade One."
"All of them?" Chu Qing was surprised. "Mathematics and comprehensive science as well?"
"I have finished most of the subjects. Now I only have two units of physics and one unit of chemistry left." Qi Weichen said, looking sideways at her. "Compared to others, don't you think your progress is too slow?"
Chu Qing said embarrassedly: "I'm taking it step by step now, and he's been busy tutoring Chen Xiu lately and has no time to learn his own lessons. I guess he will try hard to make up for it when Chen Xiu needs to learn new lessons." This kind of procrastination in learning is just too much for her.
Qi Weichen paused for a moment after hearing this, and then said thoughtfully: "Really?"
"Of course, didn't you notice? Because Chen Xiu learns Chinese and English quickly, he can only make up for these two subjects. Chen Xiu learns other subjects slowly, so he is too lazy to learn," Chu Qing said with confidence, "I think, according to Chen Xiu's progress, by the time Qi Muyang finishes the first volume, I will have finished it all."
After studying with Qi Weichen for a while, she found that the textbooks for the first year of high school still accounted for a large proportion of the college entrance examination, so the learning progress had to be slower. She had memorized all the Chinese that needed to be memorized, and only had two lessons of vocabulary and grammar left for English. The math and science comprehensives were about the same, and it might take another two months. She didn't believe that Chen Xiu could finish all the subjects in two months.
"What if he can finish learning it?" Qi Weichen's eyes moved slightly.
Chu Qing snorted: "Then I can also finish learning."
"real?"
Chu Qing nodded: "Really."
"What if you can't finish learning?" Qi Weichen asked again.
Chu Qing pondered for three seconds and was sure that Chen Xiu could not finish learning it, so she said arrogantly: "Whatever you say, I will do it!"
"Okay, that's what you said." Qi Weichen lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.
Chu Qing thought about it and felt something was wrong: "Wait a minute, this bet doesn't seem equal. Shouldn't you tell me what you plan to do if I finish learning before him?"
"Same as you, you can make any request you want." Qi Weichen was also generous.
Chu Qing was happy: "Then you will definitely lose. Plus what you promised me last time, you let me make any one request. That makes two requests now. I'll remember them all."
"Okay." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Chu Qing narrowed her eyes, stared at him for a long while, then snorted and continued to learn today's knowledge. She did not intend to speed up the process. After all, Chen Xiu was still a little behind her. Even if he memorized all twelve books of Chinese and English, as long as he had not finished the first volume of the first year of high school in other subjects, it would not be considered that he had finished learning first.
She was leisurely learning new knowledge, while Qi Muyang continued to teach Chinese and English with great hatred. After Chen Xiu had memorized these two subjects until the first semester of high school, he finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't focus on these two subjects all day long, do you want to be biased?"
“…Didn’t you say that we should learn as much as we can every day?” Chen Xiu asked innocently.
Qi Muyang felt guilty for a moment, and said impatiently: "That has to be done step by step. How about this, you don't study these two subjects today, and focus on mathematics and comprehensive science."
"Oh..." Chen Xiu obeyed his words without any doubt.
Qi Weichen, who was standing behind him, reminded him calmly: "Only if you learn a language every day will it not deteriorate."
Qi Muyang paused, thinking that what he said made sense. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then, you don't have to learn new Chinese and English lessons. From now on, you can set aside two classes every day to review the previous ones and do the papers. The rest of the time, you can focus on comprehensive science and mathematics."
"Oh, okay." Chen Xiu still accepted it without any reason.
Qi Muyang could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He had not asked Qi Weichen to tutor him for two or three nights in a row. He seemed lazy. Whenever Qi Weichen prepared new study materials for him, he would always put it off: "Dad, I am teaching Chen Xiu now, which is equivalent to reviewing the previous knowledge and laying the foundation. I am not in a hurry to learn new things for the time being."
"You can't keep laying the foundation." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Qi Muyang rubbed his eyes and lay lazily on the bed, unwilling to move: "Wait until I am familiar with the work of a private tutor and adjust myself, then I will study. Otherwise, even if I study now, the effect will not be very good, and it will dampen my enthusiasm for learning."
"Don't you want to pass or fail the exam?" Qi Weichen encouraged him calmly.
Sure enough, upon hearing the name of failing, Qi Muyang gritted his teeth and said, "I must surpass him!"
“Then study.”
Qi Muyang paused for a moment, then got lazy again: "It will take more than a day or two to surpass him. I'd better wait a little longer. I really don't want to move today."
Qi Weichen was silent for a long time and finally took the study materials back.
Qi Muyang didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to. After being surprised, he quickly said, "Thank you, Dad."
"Go to sleep." Qi Weichen said, and then lay down on the bed.
… Could it be that because he gave Chen Xiu extra lessons every day, his father felt sorry for him and so he easily gave up tutoring him? Qi Muyang stared at his direction for a moment, and suddenly had the urge to jump back and forth on his bottom line.
Qi Muyang thought so and did so. In the following week, he kept making excuses, and Qi Weichen did not interfere too much. Now he enjoyed the feeling of freedom again. Chen Xiu was a slow learner, so he did not have to worry too much. Apart from teaching Chen Xiu a few questions every day, he did not have to worry about anything else.
Seeing him so comfortable, Chu Qing couldn't help but become lazy too. Qi Weichen saw the performance of the mother and son, but didn't say anything to them. Instead, he got along with them as usual. The mother and son, who were taking advantage of the situation, became even more presumptuous.
When the two of them were letting themselves go, Qi Weichen found Chen Xiu alone and asked calmly, "Where are you with math and comprehensive science?"
When Chen Xiu faced him, she couldn't help but show a natural respect, and she was always nervous when she spoke: "I've studied two units, and we're doing it together, so it's a bit slow."
"Each unit of each subject is inherently related. You are right to learn in this way. How about the questions in the first two units?" Qi Weichen said calmly.
Chen Xiu swallowed her saliva and said, "The basic questions are okay. I'm practicing the more difficult ones. Although I often can't do them, I can sort out my thoughts by looking at the answers."
"That's it. Now all we need to do is do a lot of exercises. We can move on to the next unit while doing the exercises." Qi Weichen defined.
Chen Xiu's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Um."
Chen Xiu laughed. He thought he had made no progress. After hearing what Qi Weichen said, he immediately became confident. However, when he thought that he had only learned two units in half a month, he suddenly became discouraged: "But my current progress is still too slow."
Although quantitative change will eventually lead to qualitative change, what he wants is obvious progress within two months. If he keeps learning so slowly, there may not be any significant changes in the final exam.
"Want to speed up the progress?" Qi Weichen asked suddenly.
Chen Xiu was stunned: "Huh?"
"I can help you," Qi Weichen looked at him and said slowly, "but you can't tell anyone."
There was a hint of doubt in Chen Xiu's eyes, but seeing that Qi Weichen didn't want to say more, she felt embarrassed to ask more.
From that day on, Chen Xiu began to secretly go to the corridor to find Qi Weichen for extra lessons every night without telling anyone. Qi Weichen always spoke very quickly, so in order not to miss any knowledge points, he would record the lessons with his mobile phone, then listen to them repeatedly with headphones in the dormitory, and then start doing the questions after listening. Every time he finished a set of processes, it was almost 1 a.m.
He listened to Qi Muyang's lectures during the day and consolidated his knowledge with Qi Weichen at night. This way, his progress was much faster, but his dark circles were a little heavy.
It was another morning. After Qi Muyang finished the test on him, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong? Did you do poorly on the exam?" Chen Xiu looked nervous.
Qi Muyang looked at him blankly: "Have you opened your Ren and Du meridians? I just taught these knowledge points yesterday, right? Why did you get them all right?!" According to Chen Xiu's previous speed, shouldn't he study for another two days to consolidate his knowledge
Chen Xiu yawned and said happily: "So I did a good job?"
"... Yes, it's very good. How come you suddenly learn so fast?" Qi Muyang didn't have any jealousy, he was just simply curious.
Just as Chen Xiu was about to speak, he suddenly remembered the agreement he had made with Qi Weichen. He coughed and said vaguely, "No, nothing. I just went home to study a little more and did some more exercises at night."
"Really?" Qi Muyang asked.
Chen Xiu felt guilty and a little guilty. She moved her mouth but decided to keep the secret: "Really."
"... That's good. You should pay more attention to rest. Your health is your capital. Since you have learned it all, let's learn new knowledge today." Qi Muyang said, opened the book, and when he saw that there was still one chapter left to the position he had learned, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
…According to Chen Xiu’s speed, he should be able to catch up with him in just one day. Qi Muyang glanced at the dark circles under Chen Xiu’s eyes and felt that he could not hold him back. So after the morning self-study get out of class, he said to Qi Weichen with a serious face: “Dad, I want to study.”
"Here you go," Qi Weichen took out the information he had prepared long ago, and at the same time did not forget to put some pressure on him, "Whether Chen Xiu can stay in Chengde depends entirely on you, so study hard, okay?"
Qi Muyang nodded under great pressure, concentrating on his studies while feeling a little annoyed at his lack of concentration. That night, he sat next to Qi Weichen again: "Dad, please help me sort out today's knowledge. I need to familiarize myself with it so that I can teach Chen Xiu tomorrow."
"You wash up first, I'll be back later." Qi Weichen took his newly charged cell phone and was about to go out.
Qi Muyang paused: "Going out again, what are you going to do?"
"Something happened." Qi Weichen said casually.
Qi Muyang frowned: "Is there anything more important than your son?"
Qi Weichen glanced at him and did not answer his question: "Don't follow me."
Qi Muyang immediately wanted to follow, but Qi Weichen seemed to have been on guard against him. After going out, he inserted the key into the door lock, and he couldn't open the door from the inside.
Qi Muyang: “…” What kind of secret is it that requires you to be so wary of him
An hour later, Qi Weichen came back and put down his phone before giving him extra lessons. Qi Muyang glanced at his phone, paused and said, "Wasn't it fully charged when you left? How come it's only half charged?"
"Yes." The lights in the corridor were not bright enough, so I had to use my mobile phone to increase the lighting.
Qi Muyang looked at him suspiciously, and the more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed. But seeing that Qi Weichen didn't intend to tell him anything, he could only suppress his desire to ask. Although he didn't ask, he was concerned about this matter, and then he found that Qi Weichen went out at a fixed time every night, and when he came back, his mobile phone would consume some power.
…What on earth were you doing
Finally one day, he couldn't hold it in any longer during a physical education class, so he pulled the traitor and the fat boy aside and briefly described the situation: "If a father and son live together, and the father suddenly goes out with his phone every night without letting his son know, do you think that's normal?"
"Of course it's not normal." The fat man said immediately.
Qi Muyang slapped his thigh and said, "Yeah, I also think it's abnormal... but I can't tell why it's abnormal. Can you analyze it? What does this father want to do?"
"He must have cheated." The fat man swore.
Qi Muyang denied without a second thought: "Impossible!"
"Then why did he hide it from his son?" the fat man asked.
Qi Muyang stopped talking.
"The phone's battery is running out and he doesn't want his son to see it. He can't be talking about business. I guess he's talking to his mistress on the phone behind the child's back. Disgusting!" the fat man said with disgust.
The treacherous minister nodded in agreement: "I agree."
"... Don't talk nonsense, maybe he was calling the child's mother!" Qi Muyang denied being a mistress, but did not deny calling.
The treacherous minister suggested: "It's easy to find out. Just ask the child's mother."
Qi Muyang hesitated for a moment, and happened to see Chu Qing walking towards them. He immediately stood up and pulled Chu Qing away.
Chu Qing looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"
However, he did not answer, but directly pulled the person to a secluded place, took a deep breath and asked: "Has my dad called you recently?"
"Why did he call me?" Chu Qing was speechless.
Qi Muyang: “…”
“… Why do you look like you’re about to cry? Let’s talk it over nicely.” Chu Qing frowned.
Qi Muyang sniffed and said aggrievedly: "Mom, you might be cheated!"
Chu Qing: “?”
