Mr. Tang looked at Ning Yuan covering her forehead, grinning in pain, and frowned: "Why do you always beat the child!"
Grandma Xia snorted coldly: "Jade cannot be a weapon if it is not cut, and it cannot be a weapon if it is not struck. In the past, when I was studying, the master would hit his palm with a ruler!"
Mr. Tang refused to give in now and pushed up his glasses: "After all, you have returned from studying abroad. Why do you still believe this crap? Besides, Xiaoyuan is my student, and I didn't even hit her!"
Grandma Xia glared at him angrily: "Well, every time it involves your students, you go against me. You haven't suffered enough, so I don't care about you!"
With that said, the old lady packed up the dishes and went out to wash the dishes.
Mr. Tang has always been a "strict wife", but Ning Yuan found that this time Aunt Xia didn't jump in and curse anyone.
She looked at Mr. Tang worriedly: "Grandpa Tang..."
"It's okay, that's just how she is. At my age, I guess I can only accept you in the end." Mr. Tang shook his head.
He looked at Ning Yuan gently: "If you are not afraid of getting involved with a decentralized reformer like me, I will definitely teach you well."
Ning Yuan's eyes turned red and she nodded desperately: "I am willing, as long as Grandpa Tang... No, as long as Teacher, you don't dislike me!"
Great, she really never thought that she would have the opportunity to be taught by an old professor from a top prestigious school!
When Grandpa Tang heard her call her teacher, his eyes were a little complicated and vicissitudes of life. He sighed: "You should just call me Grandpa Tang. Calling me teacher will have a bad influence on you."
"I'm not afraid!" Ning Yuan shook her head.
"Don't be afraid. He is afraid of people calling him teacher. The arrogant students he used to teach punished him the most!" Granny Xia's voice floated in faintly from outside the door.
Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Grandpa Tang's uncomfortable and sad expression, it was obvious that she had been stabbed in a sore spot.
She changed her title seriously: "Grandpa Tang, I will follow you from now on. Don't think that I have a poor foundation, and don't think that I am stupid. I have never even studied English, and I have almost forgotten Pinyin, but I want to get into college." .”
The national college entrance examination was resumed in October last year. She thought about taking the exam next year and every year after that. If she couldn't pass the exam in one year, she would repeat the exam and continue taking the exam!
Mr. Tang smiled happily: "Good boy, it's okay. Although you are stupid and foolish, I can't go to the ground because I'm sick anyway. I have a lot of time."
Ning Yuan: "Okay..."
She was stupid and stupid and was not comforted by Mr. Tang. No wonder Mr. Tang and Aunt Xia were able to get married.
This mouth is quite powerful.
Afterwards, Mr. Tang touched the underside of his straw mat and muttered: "When I take in a child like you, I always have to give you a greeting gift. I don't have anything to give you here..."
Ning Yuan hurriedly stood up to block it: "I can't accept your things."
Then, the next moment, Ning Yuan saw nearly ten homework-sized papers in Mr. Tang’s hand——
"This set of papers is a test paper that I have given you in the past few days. Just treat it as a meeting gift. You can finish it first before going back."
Ning Yuan: "This... is quite bald."
what happened?
She agreed to become a student, and then she immediately received a thorough examination as a meeting gift? ! But she didn’t make any preparations for review at all!
Under Mr. Tang's expectant gaze, she still took the paper with trepidation - although the homework book was not big, there were ten papers in it!
To die! If I had known earlier, I would have thought about it when I went back!
She finally realized how high school students felt when they received "Three-Year and Five-Year College Entrance Examination Simulation" or "Huanggang Secret Volume" as gifts.
Mr. Tang took out another worn-out pocket watch, opened it, and said solemnly: "It lasts two hours. Now, the exam begins."
Ning Yuan only felt that she was dry and silent. She took out her pen and started taking the exam by lighting the kerosene lamp.
Time passed by minute by second, and Ning Yuan was slowly immersed in the exam, but the more she wrote, the more impatient she became.
For two hours, she spent half of the time scratching her head and racking her brains.
When Mr. Tang stared at her during the exam, his gentle eyes were hot and stern, making her feel like a ray of light on her back.
It wasn't until two hours later that she handed in the paper with trepidation.
Mr. Tang frowned and began to grade her: "Chinese 71 points, mathematics 24 points, politics 58 points, history 69 points, geography 55 points, physics 31 points, chemistry 37 points, English 12 points..."
The more Ning Yuan listened, the lower her head dropped. She was so embarrassed as a poor student that she wanted to get under the table.
The college entrance examination was resumed last year. A total of more than 5.7 million candidates took the exam, and 273,000 were admitted. Her level is really...
Mr. Tang sighed: "Looking at the overall situation, your Chinese is just okay. Other liberal arts subjects such as history and geography have relatively higher scores than physics and chemistry, but your English is only 12 points."
Ning Yuan said in a low voice: "I... I have only learned the alphabet, and I know how to say hello, How are you..."
This was something I learned by taking my children and listening to them learn English. Fortunately, when the college entrance examination was resumed in the 1970s and 1980s, English was not a test.
"Although English is not tested in the college entrance examination now, many advanced documents and materials are in English. You still have to study hard." Tang Lao said earnestly.
Ning Yuan nodded: "I will definitely work hard!"
Mr. Tang must be very good at English after studying abroad!
Seeing that she was being taught, Mr. Tang continued to analyze with a frown: "But your science majors are overall worse than liberal arts. If you want to take the medical school entrance examination, you have to study science. If you want to take the economics entrance examination, you can study liberal arts. The economics department accepts both liberal arts and sciences."
Ning Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said with a slumped head: "My science is very poor. I have been bad at it since I was a child. I got 100 points in Chinese before, but in other science subjects... the teacher said that I don't have the nerve to do science." .”
Mr. Tang pushed up his glasses and scolded him righteously: "How can your teacher say that to students? I think it is a bad teacher who cannot teach students well!"
Ning Yuan looked at Mr. Tang's confident look and laughed dryly: "Okay."
In the future, Mr. Tang will encounter major setbacks in the process of educating her, and he will probably understand that there is such a thing as "talent". Some people are born without it.
"In short, I will help you with all the subjects of liberal arts and science, so that you can develop morally, intellectually, physically, artistically and physically, so that you can be admitted to the Qingbei and resume diplomatic relations, and become the talents that the motherland needs!"
Mr. Tang clenched his fist, and his old eyes were shining with excitement behind his broken glasses, as if he had found the ultimate goal of life again.
Ning Yuan felt like crying when she heard this, and clapped hard with a numb look on her face: "Ah...haha...what a great ambition!"
It seems that Grandpa Tang is ready to chicken her as a 'baby' - to encourage children to make progress, commonly known as "chicken baby".
Calabash baby, Calabash baby, there are seven babies on a vine, she is the only one, and grandpa can only "chicken" her.
I hope Mr. Tang will not "lose his ambition" because of a scumbag like her.
"Okay, come over as soon as you get off work tomorrow, and I'll explain the questions to you and make a review plan!" Mr. Tang slapped the table and decided.
Ning Yuan: "...Okay."
Mr. Tang, your excitement scares me...
But the path you choose must be completed on your knees.
Ning Yuan understood that from this moment on—
She will start working during the day and studying at night. She will get up earlier than a chicken and sleep later than a dog. She will be "cock-cock-cock-cock".
She dragged her half-dead body out of the door, and within two steps she saw Granny Xia coming over with a washbasin in her arms.
"Grandma." Ning Yuan raised her hand to greet her.
Grandma Xia snorted and ignored her.
Ning Yuan smiled helplessly, turned around and continued walking.
But before she had taken two steps, the old lady suddenly jumped in front of her and stuffed something into her hand: "Take it, don't fall to death on the way, or make me sad for nothing."
Ning Yuan was stunned and looked down to see a flashlight in her hand. It was a military style and she could tell it was given to them by Rong Zhaonan.
She smiled: "Thank you, grandma."
"Gungun, who is your grandma?" Grandma Xia raised her head proudly.
But when she raised her eyes, the old lady saw her weak and pale face. She stared at Ning Yuan for a long time: "Why are you so weak?"
Ning Yuan: "Oh..."
