Chapter 35 - The Poor Childhood Sweetheart's Counter Attack (8)

In the channel, many junior high school students said that it was better to watch them live instead of asking for a tutor. The key points were drawn with super precision, and the thought patterns in solving the problem were concise and clear. Moreover, they still followed the textbook from the first day of the first month onwards, and all junior high school students could learn it again. That is, they never taught math, and at first some people wondered. Until one day Xu Zifan took a very difficult math problem and asked Yan Yaru, Yan Yaru to solve it for him, made two other difficult problems by analogy. Only then did everyone know that the little brother was so good at math that it was no wonder that the little sister didn’t have to talk about it.

They made a thousand yuan a week from live broadcasting, and now both the children have money, and the rewards were very enjoyable. This wasn’t much, but it is a good start for them. Xu Zifan gave all the money to Yan Yaru, saying that it was the live broadcast income and his tutoring fee. Yan Yaru didn’t agree, insisted on sharing with him, and finally they agreed to a 20/80 share, Xu Zifan got 200 yuan, the remaining 800 belonged to her.

The first thing Yan Yaru did when she got the money was to buy a 300-yuan bike. It was very hard for her to squeeze into the bus every morning. However, she couldn’t ride a bike. The Yan family trained her as an heir, and attached great importance to her. She was picked up and chauffeured by a driver when she was growing up. She had never touched a bike and had to learn.

Mother Ji taught her twice, but she didn’t have much time to teach. She asked Xu Zifan to help teach Yan Yaru. Xu Zifan was a very patient teacher. He tells Yan Yaru how to exert all parts of her body when riding a bike, and then encourages her to try it. Yan Yaru grabbed the handlebar and rode forward twice, and the car suddenly fell to the side. Xu Zifan hurriedly took her arm and straightened her up and said, “A few more rides and you’ll get the hang of it. In fact, it’s very simple. Practice makes perfect. Try again.”

Yan Yaru fell twice when she was studying with Mother Ji, and her arms and legs were bruised. She was a little scared. But thinking about the bus, she stepped on the pedal and rode again. This time, after riding two meters away, the bike fell down again. Xu Zifan held her in time and said with a smile: “You made progress, as long as you are bold and relaxed, you’ll be able to control the balance. Don’t be afraid. I’ll hold the back seat for you.”

Yan Yaru nodded and rode forward again, as Xu Zifan grabbed the back seat, the bike was much more stable. She gradually relaxed, and when she was going to fall down again, she put her leg directly on the ground and stopped herself. She breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly realized, “I was too nervous before, but I wouldn’t have fallen if I had been careful.”

Isn’t that right? If you are tall and have long legs, you can stand with only one leg. But beginners were often too nervous and afraid of not being able to react in time, just like learning to swim. When you fall into the pool and forget to stand up. Now that Yan Yaru was protected by Xu Zifan, she’s much bolder and less nervous. She got on the bike again and again, riding farther and farther away, until once she rode dozens of meters without falling down. She smiled unconsciously and said happily, “Xu Zifan, I can ride!”

She didn’t hear Xu Zifan’s voice. She turned her head slightly and looked back. Xu Zifan stood in the same place and didn’t even hold the back seat. She was startled, the handlebars tilted and rushed straight at the bushes. Yan Yaru gave a cry of surprise, hurriedly landed on her feet, and finally staggered twice. She stopped and the bike fell down.

She patted her beating heart and asked Xu Zifan, “Why didn’t you hold me?”

Xu Zifan walked slowly over with his hands in his pockets and smiled and said, “didn’t you think you couldn’t ride? If I hold you all the time, you wouldn’t even know you could ride. If you try it again, there wouldn’t be any problems this time.”

Yan Yaru was delighted, thinking that she had just ridden it herself and was eager to get on the bike again. This time she knew that Xu Zifan didn’t help, but she also knew that she could ride, and she had a lot of confidence. She pedaled the pedal carefully and slowly, the bike glided out smoothly, and her body relaxed and mastered that wonderful balance. She rode all the way back to Xu Zifan without a problem, and there was an unreserved smile on her face for the first time. Suddenly she felt a sense of accomplishment!

She said happily to Xu Zifan, “Thank you! You helped me again!”

Xu Zifan smiled. “It’s just a little thing. Practice again, turning and slamming on the brakes. Try to be proficient.”

“Hmm!” Yan Yaru nodded and practiced round and round happily on her bike. Practice was more like playing. The newly learned bicycle was really fun to ride.

Xu Zifan shook his head amusingly, sat down on a bench and looked at her, reciting the Chinese text silently without wasting any time. Yan Yaru stopped for a rest and practiced all afternoon. She didn’t stop until dinner time. Xu Zifan handed her a bottle of water and told her, “go back and have an early rest later. It’s a lot of exercise to ride for so long.”

“Okay, thank you.” Yan Yaru nodded, took the water and spoke a little awkwardly, “Sorry, I forgot to look at the time and delayed you all afternoon.”

Xu Zifan waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter. I have been reciting the text silently and reviewed all the Chinese text in the third year of senior high school.”

Yan Yaru looked at him speechlessly. If he loved learning so much, why did he have such a poor foundation before? What a weirdo. Moreover, she was riding a bike and he was reciting the text next to her, which felt a little strange.

The two locked up their bikes and went upstairs together, just as Mother Ji was going to call them for dinner. As soon as she saw them, she smiled and said, “Zifan, come and eat together. Your mother and I cooked the meal together, with your favorite fried tenderloin and chicken stewed mushrooms. Go and call your father.”

“Oh, all right.” Xu Zifan went back to the room and called his father, then went to the kitchen to cut a plate of fruit, took wine and drinks, and took them to the Ji family.

At a glance, Mother Ji complained, “Why are you being so polite? You’re even bringing gifts?”

Xu Zifan spoke with a smile: “Auntie, it wouldn’t be polite, you made delicious food for me to eat, I also have to be filial to you. I specially choose your favorite fruit to cut, please have a taste.”

Mother Ji beamed with a smile. Mother Xu came out from the kitchen to stare at him and scolded, “you boy, you’re getting better and better at talking. Your mother has cooked for you plenty of times. Why haven’t you been filial to me?”

“Isn’t this what both, you and Aunt like? I have filial piety to both, come and have a bite of the apple. I tasted it when I cut it, it is very sweet.” Xu Zifan stuck an apple with a toothpick and fed it to Mother Xu, coaxed her to sit down, and said, “I’ll take the rest of the food out. Please sit down, Mom and Dad, Uncle and Aunt.”

Seeing this, Yan Yaru quickly got up and went to the kitchen with Xu Zifan to serve dishes. In the Yan family, the servants usually do this, and she never realized the need to help her parents do this. Seeing Xu Zifan’s behavior, she thoughtfully thought that filial piety was like this. She particularly envies Xu Zifan’s habit of getting along with elders, who could be amused only by a few words. She thought she should learn from Xu Zifan.

During the meal, the Ji couple heard that Yan Yaru had learned to ride a bike and hurriedly thanked Xu Zifan. However, they were worried about the dangers faced by the novice Yan Yaru on the road, so they asked Xu Zifan to go to and from school with her and keep an eye on her a little bit. Xu Zifan promised, going to school with one more person was still going to school, and with the two of them going together, he could also discuss studies with her. It was no problem at all.

He suddenly thought of another thing. According to the original development, Yan Yaru was tied to a telephone pole after the Yan’s drew a clear line with Yan Yaru. He thought that the Yan family now regards Yan Yaru as an adopted daughter and was still sheltering her. No one dared to harm her in this way, but he had just heard that the Ji couple were worried about Yan Yaru. He suddenly reacted, and the plot had changed. Who knows whether this would still happen, or even ahead of time? After all, Yan Yaru used to be in a high position and crushed others in all aspects, so it was inevitable that one or two idiots would want to see her look even worse. It’s a little dangerous to let Yan Yaru come and go alone, and it was safer for them to go together.

At night, while Mother and father Ji lied in bed and talked, mentioning Yan Yaru, they were a little sad. Both of them are contented people. They don’t have that much ambition and always felt that it was enough that they could eat and wear warm clothes. However, Yan Yaru used to take a car and had changed it to a bicycle when she came to their house. She bought it herself. They felt that they were unqualified parents and didn’t give their daughter a sense of security, thus making her feel wronged.

Once there was a comparison, it was easy think too much about it. They haven’t cared for their own daughter for 18 years, but now they just want to make up for her. They have been struggling in their middle age. After discussion, the two decided that Father Ji would resign and go into business, while Mother Ji continued to work to earn a stable salary, leaving a way out. This was not some ‘spur of the moment’ thing. Father Ji started a small business when he was young and has a good mind in this respect. but he doesn’t like such a busy and struggling life, and he doesn’t like that life is full of relations with strong interests. So, he chose a stable job and gave up doing business.

Now that he recognized his own daughter, he suddenly had an indomitable spirit. Didn’t the Yan family want to keep both of their daughters at that time, that is to say, their family was well-off? There were more things they could give the children. Now he wants to fight, so that his daughter would never regret leaving the Yan family and choosing them, and they could also give their daughter a better life. Father Ji was so passionate about making money that he was willing to work hard for his daughter, even though he may not be as good as the Yan family his whole life. So, he started a careful and serious plan. He has good connections, and he believed that this decision wouldn’t be too difficult.

When the monthly examination of the first Middle School finally arrived, Xu Zifan entered the examination room with confidence and got all the questions he could do right. Of course, he was directly empty on the questions he couldn’t do, and the time was too short. He was already very satisfied with studying like this.

During this period, he goes to bed at 2 o’clock in the morning and gets up at 5 in the morning, studying all the while. He had a good memory, he wouldn’t forget what he recited three times, and of course he could remember formulas and so on clearly. So, although he had just finished his junior high school knowledge, he had done quite well in the key knowledges and Confucian classics questions this time.

He was about to catch up with the progress of the third years, and he was already good at English. After figuring out the key points of the answer, he got 136 points. Chinese could not defeat him, he got 133 points. All of the subjects had a complete score of 150, so he did well in the exam. Of the remaining three subjects with a full score of 100, he got 67 in Physics, 49 in Chemistry and 88 in Biology. With a total score of 583, he ranked first in Class three!

The monthly examination is divided into different subjects. People can directly see his progress in each subject. Compared with the previous total score of a little over 300, this was an incredible leap forward!
