Chapter 194 Xing Fangcao asks Chen Shuning for advice and refuses
Chen Shuning got up half an hour earlier than others. When the villagers came, she had already cleaned the warehouse and steam was coming out of the pot on the stove.
Chen Erlai opened the lid of the pot, poured half a bottle of hot water into the bottle with a spoon, and handed it to Gao Ye behind him.
Chen Erlai said with emotion: "Shuning, this glass bottle is really useful. It is much more convenient to use than my broken bowl."
Chen Shuning wrote the names of Chen Erlai and Gao Ye in the booklet, and also wrote down the farm tools they had, then he looked up at Chen Erlai.
"Uncle Er Lai, do you want one? Wait until I find a chance to get one for you."
Ever since Chen Erlai turned over a new leaf, Chen Shuning had been willing to call him uncle. Although Chen Erlai was still afraid of Chen Shuning's mouth, he was much braver than before.
"Yeah." Chen Erlai didn't deny it and said with a smile: "If you don't have it, forget it. I'm a grown man and I can make do with it."
As he spoke, Chen Erlai teased the child on Gao Ye's back and said with a smile, "Ye Zi, I'll dig up some wild vegetables later. You can take them back and steam them with Auntie."
"Brother Erlai, you can keep it for yourself." Gao Ye gathered her hair and whispered, "You're not well off, and yet you're always helping us mother and daughter..."
Chen Erlai said nonchalantly, "Hey, you don't have to spend money to buy wild vegetables. If you work hard, you can get a basket full. I mean, it's inconvenient for you to dig wild vegetables with your child on your back. I'll dig them and you can just take the ready-made ones."
Gao Ye smiled shyly and said, "Okay, thank you, Brother Erlai."
Chen Wanquan walked in in his slippers. Seeing that there were already quite a few people in the group, he smiled and said, "Wow~ You guys are here pretty early~"
Chen Wanlin glanced at him sideways, frowned, and said, "Wanquan, can you please put on your shoes properly? Look at how sloppy you look..."
"Brother, there's no woman in my room..." Chen Wanquan bent down to put on his shoes and defended himself, "I'm lucky I can clean myself up like this."
Chen Wanlin glared and said angrily, "The last time Erping came over, he said he wanted to introduce you to a girl, but you kept resisting. Now you're complaining that there's no woman in the room. What were you doing before?"
Chen Wanquan said awkwardly, "I don't like the person she introduced me to."
"Who do you like?" Chen Wanlin pressed. "Tell me who you like so I can go and ask for their hand in marriage."
Chen Wanquan's ears turned red, and he said vaguely: "Don't worry about it..."
Chen Shuning wrote Chen Wanquan's name, looked up and asked, "Uncle Wanquan, the team leader said you'll be plowing the soil today. Go get the farm tools from the warehouse yourself~"
Chen Wanquan was afraid that Chen Wanlin would ask more questions, so he answered and rushed into the warehouse as if his butt was on fire.
After being busy for a while, when Chen Shuning was the only one left in the warehouse, she took out the test paper from the cloth bag and started to do the questions.
"Comrade Chen Shuning, I don't understand a few questions. Can you teach me?"
Chen Shuning raised his head and saw Xing Fangcao's hypocritical smile, and quietly put the test paper away.
She asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Xing Fangcao quickly placed the book in front of Chen Shuning and said with a smile, "I don't understand these elements here..."
Chen Shuning sighed and said, "Comrade Xing Fangcao, these things are all basic knowledge, I don't know how to explain them to you.
You're using a high school textbook for the second year. If conditions permit, it would be best to find a high school textbook for the first year. Once you have a solid foundation, you'll naturally be able to understand these questions."
The smile on Xing Fangcao's face froze. She said awkwardly, "Ah? I still need the textbooks for the first year of high school..."
"It's not that I won't explain the questions to you." Chen Shuning patiently explained, "Basic knowledge needs to be memorized. If you don't have a solid foundation, you won't understand even if I explain it to you."
"But..." Xing Fangcao said embarrassedly, "I really can't find the books for the first year of high school..."
Chen Shuning closed the book in front of him, saw the name on the cover, and said with a smile: "How can you not find it? I think your book belongs to Yang Guoqing.
His notes are very detailed, and it's clear he has good grades. If you still go to him, he must have the textbooks for the first year of high school."
Thinking of what Guo Junshan said to her that night, Chen Shuning's smile became more sincere. "Teacher Yang is willing to lend you a book, which means he's a good person. If you have questions, you can ask him."
The corners of Xing Fangcao's slightly raised mouth slowly flattened and then curved downwards, her displeasure written all over her face.
Chen Shuning looked at her with sincere eyes and said, "Comrade Xing Fangcao, it's not that I don't want to help you. The college entrance examination is only a few months away, and I will also review well.
I'm not as good as Teacher Yang. He's the best at teaching. He also has a lot of free time and is very enthusiastic. He won't refuse you.
Xing Fangcao's time is precious, but is Chen Shuning's time not precious too?
She was willing to help Ma Lanzhi and Wang Na because they had chosen liberal arts, and memorizing the key points would increase their chances of getting into university. Highlighting the key points for them wouldn't take up too much of Chen Shuning's time.
But Xing Fangcao is different. She also chose science. Not only are the knowledge points of science boring, but the foundation must be solid.
Judging from Xing Fangcao's level, she doesn't even know the periodic table. To teach her... Chen Shuning doesn't think he is that great, nor does he have the time.
Xing Fangcao angrily pulled the book back from Chen Shuning's hand, her face drawn as she said unhappily, "If you don't want to help, just say so directly. There's no need to be so tactful."
Chen Shuning spread his hands and said frankly, "Indeed, I don't want to teach you, and I can't teach you. Having good grades doesn't mean you can teach others."
Chen Shuning paused for a few seconds and said sincerely, "It's better to leave professional matters to professionals. I'm not as good as Teacher Yang in teaching."
"Humph~"
Xing Fangcao snorted and turned away.
Ever since she had fallen out with Ma Lanzhi and Wang Na, she was too lazy to pretend to be a good person. Anyway, no matter what she did, these people would not accept her, so why should she put herself in such a difficult position?
But Chen Shuning rejected her again, which made her hate Chen Shuning to the core.
"Just wait, sooner or later, I will make you regret treating me like this..."
Chen Shuning looked at Xing Fangcao's departing figure, snorted softly, and murmured, "I don't owe you anything, it's inexplicable..."
Everyone wants to get into college, and now everyone is scrambling for the second-year high school textbooks, but Chen Shuning knows that they will soon find that the first-year high school textbooks are also important.
She didn't want to lend the book out. She had good grades and couldn't slack off now.
The bell rang, signaling the end of work. Chen Wanquan hummed a song and walked slowly towards the warehouse, carrying his hoe. However, his good mood didn't last for more than a few minutes. As soon as he turned the corner, he was stopped by Yang Erping.
Chen Wanquan was caught off guard. Seeing that it was Yang Erping, he asked with a sullen face, "Erping, why did you pull me? You scared me."
"What's Erping? You should call her Erjie. Come here for a moment—"
"Oh~" Chen Wanquan frowned and said, "Don't pull me, I'll go over by myself..."
Yang Erping dragged Chen Wanquan to the edge of the field, and seeing that no one was around, he spoke: "The young widow I introduced to you last time, she likes you and asked me to come over to talk to you.
Give me a definite answer, can it work? If it doesn’t work, you have to tell me why, otherwise I can’t explain it.”
