Age: My Small World

Chapter 25 Counseling
After school in the afternoon, Yu Li, who was selected as the health committee member, took the initiative to stay as the sanitation cleaner for the first day. She was Cheng Xiaoyu's deskmate, a girl who looked very motivated.

He looks about the same height as Cheng Xiaoyu, and he works very efficiently, no worse than anyone else.

But it's also true that these days everyone considers diligence to be a virtue, and students are all full of energy, so it's extremely rare to see lazy people.

"Cheng Xiaoyu, why haven't you guys gone home yet? I have to clean up the tables and chairs." Yu Li looked at the four people who were still in the classroom with some surprise, and finally asked her more familiar deskmate Cheng Xiaoyu.

"Yu Li, I still need to stay and study for a while. Let me help you sweep the floor first." Cheng Xiaoyu took the initiative to pick up the broom, and was quite skilled.

"It's like this. Cheng Xiaoyu and I are from the same village. Her math grades weren't very good in the past, so I thought I'd stay and tutor her so she can catch up with the teacher in class tomorrow."

Yang Jun took the initiative to explain.

"So that's how it is. My math grades aren't that good either. Can I audit a class later?" Yu Li guessed that Yang Jun's grades must be very good, otherwise he wouldn't be confident enough to tutor others. She looked at him eagerly.

There is no such thing as private tutoring these days. In addition, the teachers' explanations are average and there are no practice exercises, so people with good science grades are extremely scarce. Don't think that this is a high school, but it is a blessing if only one in 20 can go to college. The vast majority of people end up dropping out halfway, and grades are a major factor in determining their fate.

There are only about 100,000 to 200,000 college students in the country every year, so you can imagine how difficult it is.

If you don’t understand something, you can indeed ask the teacher for answers. Unfortunately, to be honest, Teacher Jiang’s level is very average, and she already represents the level of most teachers.

After all, the country has only been established for less than ten years, and the talent pool has not yet accumulated to the point where it can be arbitrarily transferred to middle schools at all levels. The lack of teachers is the norm in schools everywhere.

Cao Wendu is not just a Chinese teacher, he also teaches art and music, which is not unrelated to the fact that he comes from a university in Beijing.

"Of course, as long as it doesn't delay your time to go home. It can't be too late." Yang Jun naturally would not refuse. It would make no difference to teach one or two people. It's just that her home is in Dongwang Village, not close to the county town. He was a little worried about her safety if she went home late.

"It's okay, it's okay. I can run fast, so I won't be delayed. It's just a little troublesome."

After Yu Li finished speaking, she began to clean up quickly and neatly, fearing that Yang Jun could not wait for her.

The only two people left on the other side were Liu Xin and Jiang Xueying. Liu Xin was waiting for Jiang Xueying's mother to come because Teacher Jiang had instructed her to, otherwise she would have run away long ago.

Jiang Xueying looked at Liu Xin and suddenly said, "Liu Xin, thank you for today. You can go home first. There are still so many people in the classroom."

She looked a little grateful. Whether Liu Xin helped because of Teacher Jiang's words or for some other reason, she had helped a lot today, and Jiang Xueying saw it all.

"No need to thank me, I didn't help you at all."

Liu Xin looked around the classroom. With three classmates present, she didn't really have to worry about anything. She picked up her bag and said hesitantly, "If you say that, I'm really leaving."

"Really, you should go home quickly. My mother should be here to pick me up soon." Jiang Xueying's face was a little pale.

After all, he was sick and forced himself to sit on the stool for the whole day without moving. Not to mention the problem of having to hold back on going to the toilet, his legs must have been uncomfortable as well.

Liu Xin didn't expect all this, and it was also because the little girl could endure it and just didn't want to trouble others.

"Okay, if you have something to say, just tell them. You can tell them too. We are all classmates." Liu Xin pointed at Yu Li and Cheng Xiaoyu who were cleaning together, but ignored Yang Jun.

Although a new era has arrived, it is still a common etiquette for men and women not to touch each other.

Soon, Liu Xin ran out the door excitedly as school was over.

Later, Jiang Xueying slowly withdrew her envious gaze, then frowned slightly, and her expression became even worse.

Yang Jun didn't pay much attention to the two of them, his attention was always on the textbook. If he wanted to tutor others, he should first organize his thoughts and have a clear teaching mindset, instead of just mixing things up, which would not work.

As he thought about it, he slowly recalled what he had learned in elementary and middle school, which helped Cheng Xiaoyu consolidate his basic knowledge in the process.

To have a bird's-eye view, everything must start with a solid foundation.

Suddenly, he felt someone's eyes on him. Looking up, he almost made eye contact with the girl in the front row, who turned her head away in shock.

It turned out that she hadn't heard any movement in the back row for a long time. Jiang Xueying was a little curious about what the classmate who stayed behind was doing, so she looked back. Unexpectedly, she saw that he was reading a book seriously, and seemed to be completely immersed in it. She couldn't help but look at him for a while longer.

Yang Jun's physical condition gradually recovered, and even further, his senses became more acute, so he naturally noticed her gaze.

"Classmate Jiang Xueying, are you okay?"

After a while, Jiang Xueying heard a sound coming from behind her.

"Well, I noticed you've been sitting here all day. Is there anything else you need help with?"

Jiang Xueying shook her head slightly: "Thank you, classmate, I'm fine."

Seeing her stubborn look, Yang Jun continued with his own business.

Fortunately, not long after, a familiar middle-aged woman came over.

"Xueying, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Jiang Xueying's mother came here with great fatigue, but she still had to continue to work hard.

"Mom, let's go home."

The little girl had no extra words.

"Okay, let's go home now."

Looking at the figure being carried away again, Yang Jun could only sigh at his misfortune.

The cooperation between Cheng Xiaoyu and Yu Li was extremely smooth, and it only took them about fifteen minutes to clean the classroom.

"Come and get started. I've already prepared the lesson plan."

Yang Jun waved to the two of them.

"Hey, let me get the notebook."

Yu Li was a little flustered, but Cheng Xiaoyu was already prepared and sat down next to him immediately.

"Go sit opposite me. How can I teach you if you're like this?" Yang Jun pouted.

"Just sit down, why are you so fierce?" Xiao Yuer stuck out her tongue at him.

The two sat opposite each other, and it was the first time that Yang Jun observed Xiao Yuer so carefully.

Needless to say, his thin body made people shake their heads at first sight, but he felt a sense of inexplicable heartache in his heart.

"Look how thin you are. I'll make you some delicious food to replenish your body someday."

"You're the only one who can do this. You should eat some fat first." Xiao Yuer's disgusted look was almost beyond words.

"Has it started?" Yu Li came over in time and interrupted their conversation.

"Well, we can begin. Let's start with junior high school math. I want to see how your level is and then consider the next step of tutoring."
