A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 8

Night falls, Ronghua North Road.

Chen Hui walked home silently with his schoolbag on his back. In the cold wind, Chen Hui began to quicken his pace and then jogged.

[Your physical level increases from level 1 59% to level 1 60%]

More than ten minutes later, when Chen Hui was running with steam rising from his chest, another line of barrage appeared in front of him.

When the time comes, heaven and earth are on the same side. I didn’t expect that my sports proficiency would be improved to the passing line even while jogging.

For high school students whose physical education teachers are often sick, it is not easy to get a passing grade in physical education.

Unfortunately, the free attribute points did not appear this time.

I don’t know if I have to wait until the next physical examination?

Without stopping, Chen Hui continued to jog towards home.

"See the dentistry, go to Xinqiao. Xinqiao dentistry reminds you that we have arrived at the Jiannan Avenue stop. Passengers getting off please exit through the back door..."

Just as I ran past the bus stop, a bus stopped and the stop announcement came from the open door.

"Xiaohui, get out of class is over."

A middle-aged man with a bald head got off the car, smiled and nodded to Chen Hui, then hurriedly put on a woolen hat.

"Uncle Liu is off work."

Chen Hui also responded with a smile.

Uncle Liu lives across the street from their house. He is a programmer. It is said that he is only in his thirties, but his hairline has completely disappeared.

"elder brother?"

A surprised female voice came from the car, and the next moment, a little girl with twin ponytails and a small schoolbag on her back rushed out of the door like a rabbit and ran towards Chen Hui.

"Ruirui, slow down."

A faint voice came from behind, and after a while, a short woman appeared at the door of the bus. She was wearing a washed-out uniform and carrying a tattered canvas bag on her back with a short mop stuck on it.

At this moment, a pair of eyes looked at the little girl with worry and reproach.

After discovering Chen Hui, the worry in his eyes disappeared instantly, and his eyebrows curved slightly with a hint of joy.

"Auntie."

Chen Hui picked up Li Qingrui, greeted the woman, then stepped forward to take the big bag from his aunt's back and put it on his own back.

The aunt didn't hesitate and let Chen Hui carry her bag. The smile on her face became brighter. After a tiring day, she could finally straighten her back.

My aunt is a part-time cleaning worker for a large platform, and usually charges 100 yuan for two hours.

However, the platform has discount activities all year round, and these discounts are naturally impossible to be offered by the platform, so the average price for my aunt is about 60 yuan for two hours, which is not bad.

Then the platform deducts 40% of the agency fee, and you can get nearly 40 yuan.

My aunt goes out at eight in the morning and comes home at ten in the evening. Excluding the time spent on the road, she can work for four or five families a day and earn about four thousand five hundred yuan a month.

Yes, they do not have to pay five insurances and one fund for their kind of work. This is also the reason why my aunt did not go to work for a company, but worked as a part-time worker so that she could get more.

"Brother, we're going to have the spring sports meet in a few days. The teacher asked me to sign up for the 100-meter race. She said I'm very talented!"

Holding Chen Hui's neck, Li Qingrui's proud voice rang out.

"No wonder I can't outrun you. The teacher was right. You definitely have a talent for this. Ruirui is awesome!"

Chen Hui also smiled and felt at peace in his heart.

"Brother, put me down quickly, let's compete."

Li Qingrui patted Chen Hui's shoulder excitedly.

Chen Hui smiled and put his sister down. He took her hand and jogged forward behind her, leaving laughter and joy along the way. Under the dim street lights, even the biting cold wind became gentle.

Fan Rongrong looked at the two figures running in front of him, and all the fatigue in his heart disappeared immediately. He was full of strength and felt that he could work for another 14 hours.

Turn from Jiannan Avenue into Shenghua South Road, and after passing two traffic lights, a community gate appears in front of you.

Qingfeng Times City!
Under the dim street lights, you can see that the metal piece at the three water drops of the word "Qing" has fallen off, and only half of it is left.

Obviously, this community is quite old. The age of a community is like that of a person, it cannot be hidden. Moreover, the community has no intention of hiding its age and shows its vicissitudes to everyone.

Room 404, Unit 2, Building 1. Pushing open the door, a dim light came on in the living room. A little boy of seven or eight years old was doing his homework on the coffee table.

"Brother, I'm back."

"There's porridge in the kitchen. I'll serve it to you."

Seeing Chen Hui push the door open, Li Qingshan stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"I've already eaten. Go do your homework and I'll serve food to Auntie."

After patting Li Qingshan's head, putting down Qingrui who was tired from running and asked him to hold her, Chen Hui put down his schoolbag and backpack and went to the kitchen to wash his hands and serve the food.

While his aunt was eating, Chen Hui came to Li Qingshan's coffee table, took out his exercise book and continued to do exercises.

Li Qingrui pouted and looked at her brother and younger brother, wanting them to play with her, but she held back. She reluctantly sat next to them and started doing her homework.

The night was silent, with only the sounds of my aunt drinking porridge and my three siblings doing their homework, the friction between pen and paper.

After dinner, my aunt washed the dishes and then took Qingshan and Qingrui to wash up and go to bed.

"Haha, Qingshan, look, waterspout, I can control the water!"

The sound of splashing water came from the bathroom along with Li Qingrui's voice, "I must have been a dragon girl in my previous life!"

"Ruirui, stop playing."

A smile appeared on Chen Hui's face, and he could even imagine the frown on Qingshan's young face.

"What Ruirui? Call me sister!"

"Brother is studying."

"Hmph, Qingshan, I'm telling you, you have to call me sister from now on!"

Li Qingrui was angry and her voice was deliberately lowered, and then the bathroom became quiet.

Soon, everything fell silent, and Chen Hui regained his focus, immersing himself in the exercises. He had already finished studying derivatives that afternoon and evening, and the next chapter was trigonometric functions. As usual, he would first read the textbook, then do the exercises.

[Your math level has increased from level 1 78% to level 1 79%]

Ignoring the comments in front of him, Chen Hui continued to do the questions.

Click!

I don't know how long it was before the sound of the lock turning was heard, the door opened, and a man with a dark and rough face walked in.

Chen Hui looked at the time and it was already twelve o'clock.

"uncle."

Chen Hui looked up, got up and went to the kitchen to serve Chen Tianhua a bowl of porridge and brought up the hot dishes.

Uncle Li Tianhua is a delivery man. There are not many orders at night, but there are not many delivery men either. In order to earn more money, Li Tianhua comes home very late every day.

Like him, if he goes out at ten in the morning and comes home at twelve at night, he can earn more than six thousand a month.

These days, hardworking people will never starve to death. My uncle and aunt have a pretty good income. After deducting rent and living expenses, it is barely enough to support three half-grown boys. But it is still tight, and they always feel that the money is not enough.

Chen Hui knew that he had suffered a serious illness when he was a child. In order to treat him, his uncle and aunt spent all their money and borrowed a lot of money. Otherwise, their life would not have been so difficult.

"Xiaohui, are you still studying?"

While eating, my uncle advised, "Go to bed early, don't overwork yourself, there's no rush to study."

"Well, I know."

Chen Hui responded, but still sat down at the coffee table, immersed in the world of trigonometric functions again.

After Li Tianhua finished his meal, he stopped persuading others and went to the bedroom to rest after washing up. He still had to work for a long time tomorrow, so it was important to get enough rest.

"You've worked hard over the years."

As soon as he sat down on the bed, a pair of hands were placed on Li Tianhua's waist, pressing gently for him.

Li Tianhua held the hands and said apologetically, "Did I wake you up?"

"I didn't sleep."

Fan Rongrong shook Li Tianhua's rough hand, shook his head slightly, and after a moment's silence, he continued, "Xiaohui is still studying?"

"Ah."

Li Tianhua hummed lightly.

"This kid feels like a burden to us."

Fan Rongrong sighed, "We are the ones who are holding him back!"

"If it weren't for my elder brother and his wife, Qingshan Ruirui and I would have been burned to death, and my elder brother and his wife wouldn't have passed away like this. If it weren't for this incident, Xiaohui wouldn't be like this now. When he was young, Xiaohui was such a smart child..."

Fan Rongrong's voice choked with sobs. "Find a chance to persuade him. If he keeps going like this, his health will eventually fail. If something goes wrong, how can we face our elder brother and his wife?"

"He won't listen to advice."

Li Tianhua shook his head. "You've watched this child grow up. How could you not know his personality?"

"In a few months, the family will be able to pay off all the debts. By then, I'll save some money and take Xiaohui to a big hospital. He's not stupid."

He knew very well that only by solving Chen Hui's academic performance problem could he persuade Chen Hui to stop staying up late so crazily.

Li Tianhua lay down on the bed and hugged his wife, massaging her sore waist muscles. "You've worked hard over the years."

"It's not hard."

Fan Rongrong shook her head. "My life is on credit. If it can make Xiaohui better, I'm willing to die."

"Go to sleep, you'll be fine!"

Li Tianhua comforted his wife who was a little agitated.

"Can you pay back the Erzhu family's money later?"

After another moment of silence, Fan Rongrong suddenly asked.

Li Tianhua stopped massaging his wife and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"That kid from Erzhu's family got a girlfriend last year and they're looking forward to buying a house and getting married. It's time to spend money, but she hasn't urged us in all these years. How can we keep putting it off? You know how hard it is for young people to buy a house these days!"

"I want to buy a pair of shoes for Ruirui."

Fan Rongrong's eyes were slightly red. "She lost the last race and cried several times when she came back."

"And Qingshan. His sweater had a hole in it, and his classmates saw it during physical education class. They all laughed at him, but he didn't tell us when he got home. It was the teacher who called me..."

The air suddenly became quiet. Li Tianhua felt as if an invisible arm was holding his heart, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"It will be fine!"

After a while, after dealing with his uncomfortable emotions, Li Tianhua comforted his wife again, "It will be fine!"

……

[Your math level has increased from Level 1 79% to Level 1 80%]

Time flies when learning. When the barrage popped up again, Chen Hui looked at the time.

Three o'clock in the morning.

It's time to sleep!

Except for New Year's Eve when he went to bed an hour earlier at two in the morning, he has been going to bed at three in the morning every day for many years.

I put the textbooks and exercise books into my schoolbag, opened the sofa, and took out the pillows and quilt from the storage cabinet under the sofa.

The house they rented had a construction area of ​​over 80 square meters, but was actually only over 50 square meters, with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.

Originally, Chen Hui and his two siblings lived in one room, but later on, Chen Hui studied later and later, so in order not to disturb his younger siblings' rest, he moved to the living room.

The moment his head hit the pillow, Chen Hui fell into a deep sleep.
