Chapter 7(1/2)
Xu Zhenzhong called Zhao Nanxiao's father in the evening and asked about his son's class in the morning. Zhao Jianping finished chatting with his old classmate and finally asked Zhao Nanxiao to answer.
Zhao Nanxiao was practicing piano, stopped and took the phone handed over by his father.
"Hello Uncle Xu!"
"Hello, Xiaonan!" Uncle Xu's loving voice came over.
"How about Xu Shu going to your place for a tutoring in the morning? Is he obedient? Have you bullied you?"
As soon as he left in the morning, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and she hid in the bathroom before her mother saw it and wiped her tears.
"No, he is very obedient." Zhao Nanxiao said immediately.
"Uncle Xu, he is actually quite good-family and smart. As long as he makes up for the progress of the differences between the two places in time, I think he will be fine at all."
Xu Zhenzhong was very happy: "Okay, okay, that's fine, just listen to you. Then I'll ask him to continue to come to your place to make up for the lessons?"
Zhao Nanxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."
"Xiao Nan, uncle is very embarrassed. I'll let you have no rest during the summer vacation..."
"It's okay, I'm fine anyway."
"Xiao Nan, you really helped you, and you don't know how to thank you. If Xu Shu has anything wrong with him, you must tell your uncle immediately! Your dad said you are practicing piano? Uncle won't disturb you anymore, just do this first..."
"Okay, goodbye Uncle Xu."
When Zhao Nanxiao hung up the phone, he heard a vague roar from the other end: "Where have you been during the day? You still know your true feelings! If you dare to bully her, I will break your legs! Let me go to class tomorrow..."
Zhao Nanxiao was shocked.
The phone was disconnected.
She calmed down and returned the phone to her father.
Shen Xiaoman brought a plate of cut fruit for his daughter and said to her husband: "The child is a little punk, but he is quite polite. He is not as bad as Lao Xu said. I have seen many people who are more extraordinary than him. He is really nothing. The child has his own aesthetic. In the morning, I thought Xu Zhenzhong was so rigorous and rigorous. It was a bit surprising to have such a son. Later, when he left, I asked Xiaonan, and Xiaonan also said he could. At first I thought what he was doing!"
Shen Xiaoman is capable but not romantic. When she was young, she was the first to perm her hair and apply lipstick to her in her era. With her major, she naturally has a high tolerance.
Zhao Jianping said: "This is the best. Lao Xu is just too busy. In addition, he hasn't lived with him for several years, so he doesn't know enough about his son..."
My parents left chatting, and Zhao Nanxiao had no intention of practicing the piano anymore, and sat on the piano bench in a daze.
In school, she is an advanced model who helps the backwards. It is not that she wants to show herself, but that she is a natural sense of responsibility for the position she holds. This sense of responsibility should be derived from the highly responsible attitude of her grandfather and father towards her career. She has been influenced by her since childhood, and her natural character of helping others.
Xu Shu is the son of Uncle Xu and is younger than himself, so he just thinks he is an ignorant younger brother, and there is no need to be as knowledgeable as him. What's more, the younger brother is ignorant, so the older sister just let go of it?
Giving up when encountering difficulties is not her Zhao Nanxiao's style.
Zhao Nanxiao quickly adjusted from the grievances and sadness in the morning, got up and returned to the room, and while hurrying to prepare the next tutoring content, he also rethinked how to deal with this situation.
She was used to making plans and making progress step by step when doing things. Yesterday was too hasty and did not pay enough attention to difficulties, so she couldn't deal with them and ended in a mess.
The next morning, Zhao Nanxiao waited for Xu Shu in the living room with his mother reluctantly to see her father away from the distance.
At nine o'clock, he came, he was still the same as yesterday. When he entered the study, he stopped again.
At Zhao Nanxiao's strong request, my father finally agreed to remove the certificate wall last night.
When Zhao Nanxiao saw him glance at him sideways, he felt as if he had curled his lips again.
She thought she was too careful, took out the lecture notes she prepared last night and started today's tutoring.
Her attitude was the same as yesterday, patient and gentle, but Xu Shu was different from yesterday, obviously absent-minded. Later, she asked him to do the question, and he stared at her, his eyes gloomy and motionless.
"Write it, what do I do? If I haven't understood the knowledge point just now, I'll explain it again." She urged with a smile.
He grabbed the pen slowly, lowered his head and wrote a few strokes, suddenly threw the ballpoint pen, and looked up and said, "Don't pretend! Hurry up, call my dad and said, "I'm bullying you, you won't teach you!"
Zhao Nanxiao still smiled: "You didn't bully me, why did I say that?"
He narrowed his eyes: "It's very good to give you a face, don't be too greedy!"
Zhao Nanxiao's smile was even sweeter: "I'll be more and more frustrated! Do you bully me? Let's see how you bully me."
A hint of surprise flashed through Xu Shu's eyes and looked at her.
"Xu Shu, if you really don't want to attend class, you can explain it to Uncle Xu yourself. Don't make trouble with me again when you come. You are a bit childish."
"What did you say?"
His face changed, he clenched his fists, stood up suddenly, hooked his legs, and let out a "slam".
Zhao Nanxiao still had a smile on his face: "If you don't want to talk to Uncle Xu, I'll teach you another way. My mother is outside, you can go out now and go wild in front of her like I am here. I promise, you won't use it tomorrow."
Xu Shu lowered his head and stared at her with a fierce look. Zhao Nanxiao sat down, raised his face slightly, and looked at him without any hesitation.
At this time, the door of the study was knocked lightly twice. My mother pushed open the door and came in with a plate of fruit in her hand.
She glanced at the two of them, looked puzzled on her face, put the fruit on the table, and asked, "What's wrong? I was outside just now, and I seemed to hear a sound?"
Zhao Nanxiao looked at Xu Shu.
His evil behavior just now disappeared immediately. Under her attention, he looked a little embarrassed and said, "Aunt Shen, I..."
"I just asked him to get a book for me, and he got up and hooked up the chair."
Zhao Nanxiao rushed to say it. After that, he stared at him again.
He glanced at her and shut up silently.
Shen Xiaoman smiled and blamed her daughter: "You are the master, why do you send Xu Shu to get the book? You can't get it yourself?"
Zhao Nanxiao said: "I know, I will take it myself next time."
"Xu Shu, eat some fruit when you are tired of studying. Don't be restrained after a break. Just be at home. Don't leave later, stay for dinner."
Mom went out and gently brought the door.
"Sit back, I have something to say!"
Zhao Nanxiao pointed to the chair behind him, with a serious expression, a commanding tone.
His face became ugly again, but he finally sat back slowly.
"Xu Shu, if you make a fuss with me, let Uncle Xu know that of course he won't really break your legs. I can guarantee this, but it is indispensable to let you suffer a little bit of flesh and blood, and I can guarantee this."
He seemed to have been stabbed by a needle, and quickly raised his eyes to stare at her, with a suspicious look.
"It's very simple. Uncle Xu and I finished the phone call last night and didn't hang up in time. I heard it." She explained.
His face became even more ugly.
"You may not care, nor are you afraid of your father," Zhao Nanxiao continued, "but you think, if you come to my place to teach, it will only take two hours a day at most, and it will be over soon. If you don't come to my place, Uncle Xu will give up. He will continue to find a place to tutor for you and continue to torture. You can't escape anyway. Since this is the case, why do you have to do useless work? You are also a smart person. Think about it yourself, is this the truth?"
He didn't say a word.
Zhao Nanxiao waited for a moment and said, "I won't force you to study. It's your own business, you decide for yourself. If you really don't want to learn from me, I can help you turn it off from Uncle Xu, and say that I can't teach you something. But there is a saying that I will explain it to you first. I never do things perfunctorily. If you choose to continue taking tutoring classes with me, then I hope you can take your homework seriously. After all, although each class is only two hours, I have to take another time to prepare. I hope the labor I have put in is respect."
"You decide for yourself."
The study room became quiet.
After a while, Xu Shu suddenly grabbed his schoolbag and turned around and left like yesterday.
That night, Zhao Nanxiao held the pink bear doll that accompanied her sleeping, and couldn't sleep.
She was not sure if this method she had worked today. In fact, she was so nervous today when she confronted Xu Shu, who was half a head taller than her, and she was also very nervous at that time, afraid that he would not be able to suppress him and would be counterproductive. After all, he was so fierce and a little scary.
But this is really what she thought was the most practical way she thought.
If he was convinced by himself, then in the future, she would not only establish authority in front of him, but also improve her learning efficiency, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But...but if it is useless, then she can only disappoint Uncle Xu.
The girl Zhao Nanxiao tossed and turned all night with her bear doll in her arms. The next morning, she got up early and listened to the doorbell in the living room with her ears erected.
It was finally nine o'clock and the doorbell did not ring.
After waiting for a while, it still didn't sound.
"Why haven't Xu Shu come today?"
My mother also noticed the time and asked.
She sat on the sofa, feeling too upset, and regretted that she was too clever and was too hasty.
If he can do it for a while, when the two of them get familiar with each other, he might be able to listen to his own words more.
"Mom, I..."
"Ding Dong--" The doorbell suddenly rang. Shen Xiaoman went over to open the door.
Xu Shu stood outside the door and said, "Aunt Shen, sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay! Come in quickly. Xiaonan, Xu Shu is here to class-" Shen Xiaoman shouted to his daughter.
The haze in Zhao Nanxiao's heart suddenly dissipated, and he almost screamed with excitement, and jumped up from the sofa.
She succeeded!
With a sense of accomplishment, she hurried over and went to pick her student with a smile: "Xu Shu, come in."
Xu Shu stood at the entrance of her house with his schoolbag, glanced at her sideways, and followed her into the study slowly.
