Chapter 133 Finding Someone to Tutor You
Starting from New Year's Eve, the three generations of the family put aside all their businesses and entered a short vacation.
Despite being told it was a holiday, the Hua Li and Chu sisters dutifully took out their winter break homework and buried themselves in studying it after only two days.
After half a semester of catching up, Hua Lichu finally reached 50th place in the grade, while Hua Antao stabilized at 10th place.
Hua Lichu's grades are well-balanced across all subjects, with no particular weakness in any one subject. However, because she doesn't have a subject she excels in, she can't stand out from the others.
Hua Antao does have subjects she excels in; she gets full marks in math, physics, and chemistry.
But Chinese, English, and biology remain her biggest challenges.
To be fair, her scores in these three subjects would be extremely impressive even in a regular class.
However, in the "Sunshine Class," a class full of top students, these three subjects became a drag on the overall performance.
In every monthly exam, excluding the other three subjects, she could pull ahead of others by a considerable margin. However, as soon as the other three subjects were released, her advantage vanished instantly.
According to her observations, the top 9 students in the grade are generally well-rounded and have no weaknesses in any subject.
Just like her younger sister Hua Lichu, except that their overall level is a level higher than Hua Lichu's.
Take the fifth-ranked student in the grade, for example; she once asked someone for help with a difficult biology problem.
That person seemed to have memorized the entire biology textbook; they could rattle off every detail: which knowledge point, on which page, and what the definition was.
If she wants to avoid being weak in any subject, she has to get full marks in Chinese, English, and biology.
But she knew that was nothing short of delusional.
But should we stop her here?
She was unwilling to give up.
Not only was Hua Antao unwilling to accept it, but Hua Lichu was even more unwilling.
She wanted to get into the "Sunshine Class" as soon as possible, so she could be in the same class as her sister.
Since it's impossible to close the gap on our own in a short time, then we should request outside help!
Hmph, they're rich now!
Is there anything that money can't solve?
So, after the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Hua Li made a trip to the provincial capital and negotiated the supply of goods for the next six months.
As soon as the new semester started, she took the store's membership card and went to the office.
They simply handed over two membership cards and several coupons.
"Teacher, I'd like to hire a private tutor."
Qiu Jianying was startled.
She quickly returned the things in her arms to Hua Lichu.
I was a little surprised. Hire a private coach? Is that what she meant?
Hua Lichu gave her answer: "I want to hire a personal trainer. I'll pay whatever price others offer. We can schedule it from 7 pm to 10 pm every night, is that okay?"
The shop is now running smoothly, and Hua, Qiu, and Yan Moli have all gotten the hang of it, so she no longer needs to be there every day.
However, she didn't want to open two more branches in a short period of time, fearing that taking too big a step might backfire and result in more harm than good.
After all, both shops had only been open for a few months, and she wanted to wait until she had a solid foundation before making any moves.
That free time can then be used to fully focus on academic studies.
Ten years have passed since then, and it's not uncommon for teachers to want to earn some extra money by tutoring students privately.
As long as the person has good character and pays generously, no one will complain about having too much money.
Qiu Jianying knew that Hua Lichu's family owned two shops near the school.
But her mindset is still stuck in the era when two little girls needed financial aid to go to school.
But the child wants to improve, so she can't just stop the other person, can she?
Just as she was wondering how to bring it up, Hua Lichu added, "Teacher, we haven't used any of the student aid funds for the tuition fees this past six months."
Qiu Jianying paused for a moment, then said with concern, "The workload in senior year is very heavy, and you won't have much time to do other things then..."
"Teacher, don't worry, we will save enough for tuition and living expenses for that year before the end of senior year."
Seeing this, Qiu Jianying nodded: "Are you going to find the teacher alone? Or..."
"My sister needs it too."
What are your requirements? Which department are you looking for?
"My sister wants to find textbooks for Chinese, English, and Biology; I need them all..."
Qiu Jianying nodded knowingly: "I understand, leave it to me."
"These two cards are boutique membership cards, with a 8% discount every Wednesday. They can be used as gifts or for personal use."
"These coupons are from the fried chicken and milk tea shop; you can use them within a month." Hua Lichu stuffed the items back into Qiu Jianying's arms.
After saying that, without waiting for Qiu Jianying to refuse, he ran out of the office like a rabbit.
Although no one was in the office at the moment, Qiu Jianying couldn't very well call out to Hua Lichu.
He had no choice but to accept the items for the time being, and figured out when to return them to Hua Lichu.
Even so, she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
I've made up my mind to do my best and find a better tutor for both of my children.
As soon as I put the membership card and coupons into the drawer, I saw Liang Jingdong, and my temples started throbbing with pain.
as predicted,
"Teacher, I would like to apply for the school's subsidy, is that possible?" Liang Jingdong asked, repeating the same old question.
Qiu Jianying was helpless. This child had been coming to her office every few days since the start of the school year to apply for subsidies.
"Didn't I explain it to you last time? You don't meet the requirements for applying for the subsidy."
To be eligible for the subsidy, you must meet the following two requirements: first, have good grades; second, be from a financially disadvantaged family.
You ranked 88th in your grade in the final exam last semester.
This is a very good result compared to the rest of the first year of high school. After all, if your grades weren't good, you wouldn't have been able to get into Class (2).
But the school only allocates three spots to each class, and your grades, in our class…”
A flash of annoyance crossed Liang Jingdong's eyes: "But aren't you the homeroom teacher?"
The number of subsidy recipients isn't something you can just decide to give to whomever you want.
Qiu Jianying was a little helpless and speechless: "I'm the homeroom teacher, but I can't be a dictator and give it to whomever I want!"
The school simply allocated the spots to each class, and I happened to be the homeroom teacher.
After I submit my application, the school will send someone to investigate whether my family's situation is accurate...
From what I understand, you are an only child, and your father works in a factory in the county town… This does not meet the poverty criteria.”
Liang Jingdong bit his lip: "But my grandparents are old and can't work. The whole family relies on my father's salary..."
To be honest, Liang Jingdong was also devastated. He would never have considered using the subsidy money if he hadn't been forced to.
He has had a very difficult six months.
My father Liang Yongchang's salary kept decreasing for various reasons.
He did try to find a solution.
Whether it's setting up a stall or doing something else, those useless and troublesome guys in the family always manage to mess things up.
Not only do they not make any money, they also lose money in the process.
Li Nuansi ran off with all the money in the house, and the money that Grandpa got from Grandma's family was almost all spent.
In just six months, the family was destitute.
Come to think of it, he hasn't even paid his tuition for this semester yet!
