Chapter 2373 2375【Encourage education】
At night, Xiang Nan picked up his schoolbag and went home.
When he walked to the newsstand at the entrance of the community, the old man watching the stall stopped him, "Zhixun, here is your package."
Xiang Nan took it and opened it to see that it was the manuscript fee and sample issue sent to him by the "Sprout" magazine.
His article "Flowers that Died in Summer" was officially accepted by "Sprout" magazine, and the manuscript fee was 100 yuan per thousand words. A manuscript of 6,000 words received a total of 600 yuan in royalties.
This money is neither too much nor too little. In two thousand years, the average annual salary of workers was less than 10,000 yuan, and their monthly income was only 700 to 800 yuan.
If the business encounters difficulties, it is common for workers not to be paid wages for a month or two. So six hundred yuan was definitely considered a lot of money at the time.
It’s just that for Xiang Nan, the money is really not enough, so the road is long and the road to make money is still very long.
Xiang Nan collected the remittance slip, crushed the magazine, and threw it into the trash can.
Wu Zhixun's parents have a strong desire for control, and they don't allow their son to watch anything that has nothing to do with learning, including movies, TV, and magazines.
…
A few days later, Xiang Nan still went to the library to study.
Li Qingtong also brought his junior high school mathematics and English textbooks, pretending to be determined to study hard.
But soon she failed.
It turned out that when she read the textbooks of junior high school, she could basically understand the mathematics knowledge of the first and second grades of junior high school. In the third grade math textbook, when she read quadratic functions, trigonometric functions, and inequalities, she became confused.
"No way, I'm already a sophomore in high school, and I can't even understand junior high school textbooks?" Li Qingtong said in surprise, realizing for the first time that he was such a waste.
However, she was embarrassed to ask Li Jinjin and Xiang Nan for advice, after all, it was too embarrassing. So she read it over and over again, trying to understand it for herself.
"Li Qingtong, you've been reading the chapter on quadratic functions for half an hour." Xiang Nan suddenly said, "Why, is there any problem?"
"..." Li Qingtong was suddenly embarrassed, "There is one thing, I don't understand it."
"Ask if you don't understand." Xiang Nan looked at her and said, "Sensitive and eager to learn, don't be ashamed to ask, threesome, there must be my teacher. If you don't know it, just ask, what is there to be entangled in. Which knowledge point you don't know?"
"This, the quadratic function..." Li Qingtong said hastily.
Xiang Nan nodded, took the book, and explained it to her in a low voice and carefully.
With his level of mathematics and teaching, teaching Li Qingtong, a scumbag, is naturally no problem.
Soon, Li Qingtong suddenly realized.
"So that's the case, I understand now." She said happily.
"Well, it seems that you are not too stupid." Xiang Nan nodded, "It is worth teaching."
"Really?! Thank you." Li Qingtong couldn't help laughing happily when he received Xiang Nan's compliment for the first time.
…
At noon, Xiang Nan came to the post office and took out the manuscript fee.
Six hundred yuan is already a lot of money for students.
At that time, the beef noodles cost only two yuan; when I went to a restaurant to order seven or eight dishes, it cost no more than fifty yuan.
Xiang Nan carefully collected the money, then ate a bowl of beef noodles, and then went back to the library to do the questions.
At one o'clock, Li Jinjin and Li Qingtong came to the library, and the three of them immediately studied together.
In the afternoon, Xiang Nan helped Li Qingtong explain trigonometric functions, laying a solid foundation for her.
"It's not bad, it seems that you are not stupid." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Come on, let's try the problem again."
He knew that suppressing education would not work for a scumbag like Li Qingtong.
Because she has long been used to being suppressed by bad grades, she has already defaulted in her heart that she is a scumbag. If she continued to suppress her, she would only make her give up on herself, break her cans, and finally slide all the way to the bottom of the valley.
Therefore, for such poor students, encouragement should be given priority to, let her fall in love with learning first, and stimulate her subjective initiative, so that it is possible for her to forge ahead.
Sure enough, under Xiang Nan's continuous encouragement, Li Qingtong's studies finally improved.
Every day, Li Jinjin didn’t have to urge him three times and four times, he would get up early to eat and come to the library to study.
After returning home at night, she no longer stared at the TV, but recited the knowledge points Xiang Nan had summed up for her over and over again.
This made Li Jinjin see it and be happy in his heart.
…
For the next ten days, Xiang Nan has been helping Li Qingtong with tutoring, helping her consolidate the knowledge points in junior high school.
During the process of getting along, the relationship between him and Li Qingtong also got closer and closer.
"Wu Zhixun, we treat you to barbecue at noon." Li Qingtong invited Xiang Nandao with a smile.
Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
"Really?! That's great." Seeing that Xiang Nan agreed, Li Qingtong immediately clapped his hands happily and laughed.
Immediately, the three of them came to the barbecue restaurant and ordered pork belly, fatty pork, crispy pork bones, saury, etc., and also ordered six bottles of Northeastern white pears.
"In terms of barbecue, I am the first in Quan Cheorwon, and no one dares to be the second." Li Qingtong said proudly while turning over the barbecue, "Come on, Wu Zhixun, you eat."
As she spoke, she put a chopstick full of meat on Xiang Nan's dipping dish.
"Okay, thank you." Xiang Nan nodded, took a sip, and it tasted pretty good.
"For barbecue, you have to roast this kind of fat and thin meat. It tastes delicious. It's really delicious when paired with a big white pear." Li Qingtong ate and drank.
"If you can put your energy into eating and studying, I think you can become the first in the school." Li Jinjin couldn't help complaining when he saw this.
"I hate it, you..." Li Qingtong said coquettishly.
"Hey, Li Jinjin, don't talk about her all the time." Xiang Nan persuaded, "Actually, Li Qingtong has done a good job. She has already mastered the knowledge points of junior high school. After the new year, I will help her with the knowledge of high school point.
At that time, if you can pass every subject, you can basically be admitted to a junior college. In another year and a half, if you work hard, Yiyi, Eryao, and 985 are not impossible. "
"Really?! That's great." Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Li Jinjin and Li Qingtong were very happy.
"But I still say the same thing, the strong save themselves, and the saint saves others. If you don't work hard, it will be useless for others to work hard." Xiang Nan urged.
"I see." Li Qingtong nodded immediately.
…
At the end of the meal, Xiang Nan borrowed the time to go to the bathroom and bought the bill.
"The bill has already been paid?! How dare you, agree that we will invite you." Li Qingtong suddenly said embarrassedly.
Li Jinjin was a little surprised.
"I eat, there is no reason for a girl to pay for it, let's go." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the library."
One of these two is his future wife and the other is his future daughter. It is nothing if he invites them to dinner.
Besides, during the recent period, he has been receiving manuscript fees from major magazines, and the sum is almost more than 20,000, which is comparable to his parents' salary for a year. He is even richer than Li Qingtong and Li Jinjin.
