Prey

 

It happened to be the weekend, Qin Zhongyue added lessons for himself, and asked the tutor to teach him until the afternoon.

His tutor's surname is Wei and his name is Zhibo. He is a top student from Fudan University. He is in his early thirties and has a lot of experience. Among the students he teaches, several are admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

This is why Qin Zhongyue is so confident. In his opinion, he is just unwilling to learn. Once he is willing to learn, Tsinghua and Peking University will not be easy.

However, these days of study and testing made Qin Zhongyue a little nervous.

Taking the Tsinghua University and Peking University exams doesn't seem to be as easy as he thought.

Wei Zhibo said to him euphemistically: "If you lower your goals, for example, from Tsinghua University and Peking University, to an ordinary book, you can still do it within two months."

Qin Zhongyue thought of seeing Xie Chongxing doing the problem and he could only evade himself by playing the ball, and also thought that Zhong Yiming had a hot fight with Xie Chongxing through the question, and couldn't help but regret it.

Why was he wasting his time in those years, otherwise he would be able to act in front of Xie Chongxing as soon as he came back.

At this point, it is not his style to give up halfway. How cool is it to pretend to be in front of Xie Chongxing, he must persevere!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhongyue encouraged: "Mr. Wei, you have to believe in your own abilities. I believe that your ten years of experience in the industry will definitely save me, this prodigal student."

Wei Zhibo didn't say anything else. He had also taught students who were worse than Qin Zhongyue, but he was the first one like Qin Zhongyue who had better conditions and was willing to study hard.

For his self-motivation, he also had to teach him well.

After a day of tutoring, Qin Zhongyue asked him to have dinner, but Wei Zhibo refused, he warned, "You have a poor foundation, and it is too late to slowly make up your foundation, so you can only go through it quickly, using the sea-of-question tactics. To make up for this defect, you have to take a good look at the information I left for you."

Qin Zhongyue naturally agreed, and after a few minutes of psychological construction, he still chose to turn on the computer and play games.

It's the same after playing a few games and then learning, Qin Zhongyue thought calmly.

Xie Chongxing went home this weekend.

He needs to do a lot of work at home, so he has to come back at least once a week, otherwise Liu Xiu might go to school to find him.

He chopped down the tree that had been struck by lightning from the mountain, and after carrying it to his home, he chopped it finely, and piled up the firewood one by one, filling the walls outside.

Such a tree can last at least half a month at home.

He went to the well to fetch water, and it took seven or eight times to fill up the pot-bellied water tank at home.

After doing this, his physical strength was almost exhausted, and his palms were red and red. After a long day of exhaustion, the family would not leave him any meals.

Even giving him a bite to eat seems to be cheap for outsiders, so it is very tight.

Xie Chongxing had never seen parents who treated their children so harshly in this ancient town for so many years.

He opened the lid of the boiler, and there was only a little bit of rice left in the pot.

As soon as he saw it, he knew that Liu Xiu didn't even do his share of cooking, and only ordered rice for three people.

Back in the living room, he looked at the room where Liu Xiu and the others leaked a trace of fluorescent light from the TV, exhaled a cold breath, and returned to his small room.

There is also the bread he prepared in the school bag, which can solve the embarrassment at this moment.

The next day, two guests came to the house.

Xie Chongxing got up early and was stuffed 50 yuan by Liu Xiu and asked him to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Xie Chongxing raised his eyebrows slightly, this was the first time Liu Xiu had given him money, even though he was only going to buy groceries.

Liu Xiu said: "Buy a pound of pork, a grass carp, a pound of edamame, a handful of shallots, a pound of cabbage, and four pieces of white tofu..."

She said it carefully, smiled and asked, "Did you remember?"

Xie Chongxing looked at her smiling face and looked back. The two guests were staring at him with a smile on the corners of their mouths.

Xie Chongxing suddenly felt like he had been stabbed, and there was a cold tingling sensation.

He nodded calmly on his face, didn't speak, just raised his feet and walked out.

He didn't go far, he looked back at the house and saw Liu Xiu and Xie Guoxu both smiling around the two guests. One of the guests was very keen and seemed to have noticed Xie Chongxing's gaze, so he turned his head and bumped into Xie Chongxing's. In his eyes, he calmly showed a friendly smile to Xie Chongxing, although the scar at the corner of his eyes made his eyes look a little fierce.

Xie Chongxing walked towards the vegetable market without looking back.

As for the Xie family, Liu Xiu served the two guests a cup of tea and said, "You saw my son too, how is it? It's not bad, right?"

"It's not bad." The man with the scar at the corner of his eyes said that he was the old Ni who Liu Xiu and Xie Guoxu had talked to before. The old Ni said, "He is tall and looks good, very good."

Liu Xiu said, "What about this salary?"

Old Ni asked, "How's your grades?"

The smile on Liu Xiu's face suddenly froze.

Lao Ni said: "We need smart people for this job. If the grades are too bad, the salary can only be that amount."

Liu Xiu muttered: "What does this have to do with grades? Isn't it just being a nanny?"

Lao Ni said, "You don't need to know about this. Your son's face is indeed very nice, but if he is an idiot, he will give you 30,000 yuan a year."

Liu Xiu was silent for a while, Xie Guoxu handed a good cigarette and whispered: "He has good grades, he is studying in Nanyang Middle School, Nanyang, you know, only the top 1,200 people in the city can enter, he can enter. In this school, the brains are of course smart."

When Lao Ni heard Nanyang, he was a little surprised and smiled, "Your son went to such a good school, and you still let him come out to work?"

Xie Guoxu said embarrassedly: "The family conditions are difficult, and he has a younger brother—"

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Zian suddenly opened the door and came out of the room with a strange light in his eyes, "Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"

Liu Xiu said with a stern face: "Why are you out, you haven't come into the house to write your homework!"

Xie Zian breathed quickly, "Are you going to let Xie Chongxing go to work?"

Neither Xie Guoxu nor Liu Xiu planned to lie to Xie Zian, so they said, "How can your brother study for you if you don't go to work?"

Xie Zian's eyes lit up, his cheeks flushed, and his voice became excited, "Are you serious?"

Xie Guoxu was a little hesitant to see his attitude, "Of course I'm serious, in the last two months, Dad will definitely transfer you to Nanyang, it won't affect your college entrance examination, don't worry."

Xie Zian listened, walked a few steps to Lao Ni, and said in a hurried tone: "My brother is the No. 1 grade in Nanyang High School! He is very smart, you need to pay more!"

As soon as these words came out, both Xie Guoxu and Liu Xiu were stunned.

Xie Zian turned his head to Xie Guoxu and the others and said, "Dad, Mom! It's because he went to Nanyang that his grades were so good. He took advantage of the school! If I go to Nanyang, even if it's only for two months, I can still be the first in my grade. One! Dad! Mom! I'm no worse than Xie Chongxing!"

Xie Guoxu's face was ugly, "Is he really the first in the grade?"

Xie Zian looked at his face, afraid that he would regret it, and clenched his fists unconsciously, "Yes, last time I went to his school, his classmates told me that he has been lying to us, that our grades are bad, he is a white-eyed wolf. If he gets into a good university, he will go far away and never come back! I'm not the same as him! Dad, Mom! I'm going to Nanyang, and I can definitely do better than him!"

Xie Guoxu's face was ashen, he looked at Lao Ni with gritted teeth, and said, "You heard, my son is very good, I need to pay more!"

When Xie Zian heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was a secret pleasure in his heart. What if Xie Chongxing's grades were good, his parents chose him between him and him, and he was his parents' favorite child!

Lao Ni looked at the family and was a little surprised.

Lao Ni said, "I'll investigate first. If what you said is true, it can be added to fifty thousand."

Fifty thousand a year!

It's like making money for nothing!

Liu Xiu and Xie Zian were overjoyed, but Xie Guoxu was not necessarily happy, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xie Chongxing came home with a full load of food, and saw the man with the scar at the corner of his eyes talking to Xie Zian with a kind face. Xie Zian talked to the man about school life with a beaming expression, and tried his best to highlight his excellence.

Liu Xiu took the dish from his hand and smiled at him, "Go wash your hands and cut an apple for your Uncle Ni."

Xie Chongxing responded and sat in the living room without speaking. He lowered his head and held the fruit knife and began to peel the apple.

Lao Ni kept looking at him, and suddenly asked, "How was your grades in school?"

Xie Chongxing looked up at him and replied calmly, "General."

Lao Ni said, "General? Impossible, right? I feel like you're very smart."

Xie Chongxing did not speak.

Although he was used to rough work, his fingers were still white and slender, and he held the fruit knife with his fingers flying. The cold light flashed by the blade was dazzling. not broken.

Lao Ni looked at the unique skill he showed, and said with a smile: "I heard that peeling an apple will not break the left brain development, language, logic, judgment and reasoning ability is good, abstract thinking is also good, generally this kind of academic performance is not good. It will be bad."

Xie Chongxing paused and looked up at Lao Ni.

Lao Ni said: "I have never read books, so I admire you scholars."

Xie Chongxing glanced at Xie Zian, Xie Zian was chatting happily with Lao Ni just now, but now he is sitting quietly, not competing for favor, not making a fuss, and even showing him a smile when he looked at him .

Xie Chongxing handed the apple to Lao Ni and said politely, "Uncle Ni, eat the apple."

Lao Ni took it, still smiling at him.

Xie Chongxing got up and said to him, "You can do it yourself, I'll do my homework."

Lao Ni said, "You can do it here, I want to see you do your homework."

Xie Chongxing paused, went to the room, and took out the paper.

He sat upright on the table, but he didn't write down an answer for a long time. After a while, he stood up and walked out.

Lao Ni stopped him and asked him, "What are you doing?"

Xie Chongxing replied calmly, "I'll go to the question."

Lao Ni said, "I can borrow your mobile phone."

Xie Chongxing looked at him quietly, and after a few seconds, "Thank you uncle."

He took Lao Ni's cell phone, pressed it in one number at a time, and then clicked to dial out.

Soon, a familiar male voice came from the opposite side, "Hey! Who is it?"

Xie Chongxing lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I want to ask you how to solve the first multiple-choice question on the math paper? When a is equal to 8, the monotonic interval of f(x) is this."

Qin Zhongyue almost flipped out of bed over there, "Ah? Math papers?"

Xie Chongxing said, "You teach me."

Qin Zhongyue: "..."

He flipped through the math papers in a pile of books, and he hadn't started doing it yet!

He hesitated and said, "Wait, I'll get a pen."

As soon as the words came out, he knew that he was showing off! He used to be able to tell the answer just by looking at the question!

Qin Zhongyue's face flushed and he was a little embarrassed, but before he could figure out how to explain it, he heard Xie Chongxing asking and answering himself over there, "How many steps...is that so? ab+8>(1+a)( 1+b)…”

Qin Zhongyue: "Huh?"

Xie Chongxing: "So this question is A, f(x)<2?"

Qin Zhongyue: "..."

Xie Chongxing nodded, "I understand, I'll do the math again, thank you."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Qin Zhongyue: "..."

Xie Chongxing politely returned Lao Ni's phone, sat back and continued to write the topic, and after a while, stood up again.

Old Ni asked, "What happened?"

Xie Chongxing said: "Problem."

Lao Ni looked at him with a smile, "I think your thinking is very clear, maybe you can do it by yourself after a while."

Xie Chongxing replied calmly, "I won't."

He looked at Lao Ni, "Uncle, can I borrow a cell phone?"

Without saying a word, Lao Ni lent it to him.

Xie Chongxing answered the phone and said, "I want to ask you the second big question."

Qin Zhongyue: "..."

Xie Chongxing read the topic, as if he was afraid of disturbing the guests, he walked out of the house while looking at the paper, and when he reached a certain distance, he turned his side, his eyes fell on the paper, and he called out Qin Zhongyue's name.

Qin Zhongyue wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at Wei Zhibo, Wei Zhibo nodded to him, Qin Zhongyue lowered his voice and asked solemnly, "I'm... Did something happen to you?"

Xie Chongxing looked calm at this time, but when he heard Qin Zhongyue's words, his fingers trembled slightly while holding the paper. , looked at him darkly.

As if watching the prey.

Xie Chongxing lowered his eyes and whispered, "I want to see you."
