Cultivation Shura Field

There is still more than half of the winter vacation left, which is more than enough to review junior high school mathematics. But since the person who sets the questions is the teacher who teaches Olympiad mathematics, will he deliberately make them tricky?

Thinking in this way, it seems necessary to do some difficult problems specifically to exercise your quick thinking.

Xu Zhe put the receiver back to its original place. At this moment, the phone rang again.

He picked up the receiver that he had put down two seconds ago, and heard Song Xingye's voice:

"Hello, is this Xu Zhe?"

"it's me."

"I just made several calls, why are all the lines busy?"

"Oh...Mr. Zhao wants to see me for something."

"Teacher Zhao is looking for you? Why?"

Judging from the tone, the girl on the other end of the phone was obviously curious.

Xu Zhe explained briefly: "He asked me to study the math for the second and third year of junior high school on my own, and he will give me a test in the new semester. If I pass it, I will take the Mathematical Olympiad."

Song Xingye: "Second and third grade of junior high school? But we haven't even studied the first semester of junior high school!"

Xu Zhe: "To be honest, I have already taught myself in advance...but I still need to prepare well."

Song Xingye: "It's not enough to prepare once. You need to prepare more and take a lot of time, right?"

Talking about this, Xu Zhe suddenly remembered something.

He suppressed his laughter and pretended to be melancholy. "Yes, it was very difficult to prepare. It's not enough to just learn and understand all the math knowledge points in the three years of junior high school. You have to go through all the difficult questions. So, I really don't have time to do other homework this winter vacation."

"Ah?" Song Xingye realized something, "You don't mean to..."

Xu Zhe: "We agreed to learn from it."

Song Xingye: "..."

Xu Zhe: "Except for math, because Teacher Zhao approved that I don't have to do math homework. So, how are you doing with the homework for other subjects?"

Song Xingye sighed: "It's only been a few days since the holiday, how can it be that fast?"

Xu Zhe: "Can I trust you? I'll come back after the Spring Festival and see your..."

Song Xingye did not agree immediately, but asked: "Come back after the Spring Festival? Where are you going during the Spring Festival?"

Xu Zhe: "Visiting relatives. My grandparents and my maternal grandparents are all in the provincial capital. During the Chinese New Year, my uncles and aunts will also gather in the provincial capital. So our family will go there before New Year's Eve, and will probably come back after the Lantern Festival."

"Is that so..." Song Xingye muttered, "My grandparents are here, so our family probably won't go anywhere. At most we can go have a meal with them."

Xu Zhe: "Isn't this perfect? ​​You don't have to travel back and forth, and you can focus on doing your homework. When I come back for the Lantern Festival, can you handle all the homework except math? After all, our little Ye Zi is so outstanding."

Song Xingye: "Okay, I'll give it to you when the time comes."

Xu Zhe couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then we have a deal, ok?"

The girl on the other end of the phone snorted and complained, "You are really not honest at all."

Complaints aside, it was fine as long as she agreed. Freed from the repetitive, low-level homework, Xu Zhe could have a lot more freedom during this winter vacation.

Chapter 54 Grandpa's Tea

2023-09-06

The day before New Year's Eve, Xu Zhe and his parents took a bus to the provincial capital.

The family of three settled in the old house of their grandparents - the most typical old and dilapidated house, with no modern facilities around. Its only function was to allow the younger generation to stay for a few days at such times.

As for the elderly, they had already moved into the new building.

After putting down their few luggages, the family of three went to their grandparents' new home.

Xu Zhe certainly had memories of these two elderly people. After the car accident in his previous life, he remembered that his grandparents took turns to take care of him in the hospital for a period of time. But at that time, Xu Zhe was very resistant to getting along with anyone, even his immediate family members, so he tried to live alone as much as possible.

However, he still remembered what his grandfather had said at that time:

"Remember, you are the invincible Cheng Yaojin. You can do whatever you want in the future. As someone who has been through the gates of hell, you are no match for the gods! Every day from now on, you will live better than the day before!"

If it weren't for the sudden worsening of the concurrent inflammation, Xu Zhe felt that his grandfather's words back then were basically true. If he took into account that he was reborn now, it would be even more true.

Of course, my grandfather is not a fortune teller, but an old worker in the factory. He has retired long ago and leads a leisurely life of fishing every day.

Today my son and daughter-in-law came with their grandson, so my grandmother was the only one at home.

"The old man went fishing again," said the grandmother helplessly, "you guys sit here and take a rest."

Xu Zhe sat down with his parents and looked around.

Of course he had an impression of his grandparents' house, but he hadn't seen it for so long that it felt like a lifetime ago.

After sitting and chatting for a while, the door opened.

A bald old man carrying a fishing rod and a bucket strode into the house with his head held high.

Xu Guowei greeted him and asked with a smile, "Dad, how was your fishing? Why is your bucket empty?"

The old man snorted through his nose: "Those fish are too timid. I scared them all away."

Grandma rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "What do you mean by old man? Xiaozhe is here, don't lead the child astray!"

Grandpa scoffed at this: "How can there be children who don't watch TV these days? There's everything on TV, do we still need old men to lead them astray?"

As he spoke, the old man picked up a teapot on the coffee table.

Seeing this, Zeng Jing, the daughter-in-law, stood up quickly and said, "Dad, let me make some tea."

The old man waved his hand and said, "No, don't be polite to me. I won't be polite when I really need your help."

Then he turned and went into the kitchen to find a kettle to make tea.

"By the way, how is living in that old house? If you feel uncomfortable, please tell us..." Grandma started chatting. Zeng Jing could only smile and continue the topic, but she was a little embarrassed to let the old lady go into the kitchen to help.

So Zeng quietly kicked her husband.

Xu Guowei sat very steadily, without moving his center of gravity at all, and just patted his son's shoulder.

Xu Zhe sighed, stood up and walked into the kitchen: "Grandpa, let me help you."

The old man teased without hesitation: "Were you called here by your parents?"

Xu Zhe's tone was very natural: "Really not, mainly I'm a little curious, what kind of tea did you brew?"

"Qi Hong."

"Wow, great tea!"

The old man put down the kettle and said, "Xiaozhe also knows tea?"

Xu Zhe said modestly: "I can't say I understand it, but I have heard some words about it. I have heard of Qihong, and it is said to be a very good tea."

"I don't know if it's really Qihong, but the tea seller said so, so I have no choice but to believe it."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he heard the ringing of his pager.

Xu Zhe took out his cell phone from his pocket and pressed the answer button: "Hello, Feifei?"

The girl on the other end of the phone was still full of energy: "It's Xu Zhe, right? OK OK, I finally found you. Did you know that I called your home several times today, but no one answered!"

Xu Zhe: "Oh, then of course I can't know."

Tang Lingfei: "Then I just chatted with Xiao Ye and found out that you gave her your phone number but didn't tell me... You are really disloyal."

Xu Zhe certainly didn't feel guilty at all: "You didn't ask."

Tang Lingfei: "Forget it, forget it. I won't bother with you about this. Anyway, now I know your cell phone number. I will use this number to contact you from now on?"

Xu Zhe: "Yes, but the signal of Xiaolingtong is not very good, so it is still possible that I can't receive it."

Tang Lingfei: "You can make money now, why don't you buy a better phone?"

"Why should I pay for it myself when I can get some free stuff?"

Because his grandfather was next to him, Xu Zhe lowered his voice when he said this.

Tang Lingfei sighed: "You are so stingy...Okay, do you have anything else to do?"

Xu Zhe: "Get it straight, it was you who called me."

Tang Lingfei: "Yes, I just want to see if I can get through. If I can get through, then it's fine."

"Okay, bye."

Xu Zhe simply hung up the phone decisively. But when he put away his cell phone and looked up, he was startled.

Because I don't know when it started, the grandfather put down the teacup and kettle, moved close to his grandson, bent over and eavesdropped. And the old man's body was obviously very strong, and there was no sound even when he was so close.

Xu Zhe's forehead was black: "What are you doing?!"

The old man said confidently: "Isn't it right to care about the lives of the younger generation?"

Xu Zhe: "Grandpa, you..."

The old man: "Don't worry, I can't hear what you young people are saying. I can only tell that the one who called you is a little girl. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, why don't you let her come to our house for dinner?"

Xu Zhe: "..."

This was completely unacceptable to him. Inviting Tang Lingfei to his house on New Year's Eve? Not to mention that she and he were just childhood sweethearts, it was only the first day of the new year!

Xu Zhe could only say: "Grandpa, I'm not yet thirteen years old."

The old man slapped his forehead and said, "It's a bit early. You got it mixed up. It's your brother who should be looking for a partner at the age of 20, not you."

Xu Guowei also has an older brother who is also married and has children, so Xu Zhe has a cousin who should be attending college this year.

The old man looked his grandson up and down again, patted his shoulder and said, "Eat more later, grow taller and stronger, so that it will be easier for you to find a partner."

Xu Zhe: "Why do you always want me to find a partner?"

Old man: "Because a little girl came to you just now. Why, you can do it, but I can't?"

Xu Zhe was speechless. He only realized now that his grandfather was so frivolous. But if you think about it from another perspective, in the tragic situation in his previous life, it was impossible for his grandfather to be as relaxed as he is now. In this life, without the tragedy of the tour group, the old man can let himself go.

The problem is that this is flying a little too high.

Thanks to classmate [MING Ming] for the reward.

Chapter 55 Listen to Mom

2023-09-06

After visiting his grandparents, Xu Zhe and his parents visited his grandparents. Together with his aunt and uncle, the whole family went to the restaurant that they had booked in advance.

The children of my aunt and uncle are both primary school students, one boy and one girl. When the two children met, they talked and laughed happily at first, but somehow they started to quarrel, and then they blocked Xu Zhe and asked him to seek justice.

"Tiga is the strongest! Magical girl Sakura is not as good as Tiga's little finger!"

"Nonsense, you haven't even seen it... And it's not Magical Girl, it's Cardcaptor Sakura, Xiaozhe brother, tell me about it, are you talking nonsense?"

What else can Xu Zhe say? He can only say: "They are both great, there is no need to praise one over the other."

The little cousin made an Ultraman light wave pose: "Brother, who do you think is more powerful? Is it Tiga?"

Xu Zhe said frankly: "I don't know either. Let's continue the discussion."

Then the two children started arguing again.

But even if he could temporarily deal with the children of his peers, the elders would not let him go, especially after Xu Guowei and Zeng Jing "pretended to accidentally" reveal his grades this semester.

"No. 1 in the whole grade? So amazing!"

"Muyang, look at Brother Xiaozhe and learn from him!"

"Xiaoyun, you too, learn more."

Xu Zhe immediately spoke up for his cousins: "No, no, elementary school students should still liberate their nature and enjoy a happy childhood. I think Mu Yang and Xiao Yun are both great, there's really nothing wrong with them."

"Xiaozhe is really sensible..."
