Xu Zhe tried to come up with the most feasible solution: "Why don't we ask someone with connections to get in and give him some money?"

Tang Lingfei was stunned: "Don't you have so little confidence in me?"

Xu Zhe: "Child, think clearly. If you want to catch up with Xiao Ye's grades, you can't just rely on confidence."

I'm typing now, the next chapter will be in an hour or two...

Xu Zhe and Tang Lingfei came to Song Xingye's house, and the three of them started a new day of winter vacation tutoring.

When it was almost noon, Xu Zhe started cooking - the refrigerator was already filled with various ingredients by Song's parents, so he didn't need to use the minimum standards, but could make some different dishes.

"Do you need my help?" Tang Lingfei asked as she slipped into the kitchen.

Xu Zhe waved his hand: "This kitchen is small, don't take up space here."

Tang Lingfei: "What do you mean by taking up space? I'm here to help!"

Xu Zhe: "Then help me cut the onions."

Tang Lingfei patted her chest and said, "Okay, leave it to me!"

Then two minutes later, the girl started to cry. She had hardly worked in the kitchen before, except for washing dishes, so she naturally didn't know what kind of gas an onion would emit after being cut.

When Xu Zhe turned around, he saw her staring at him with tears in her eyes.

Tang Lingfei asked in panic: "What's going on?"

Xu Zhe said seriously: "Because this onion is spiritual. If you kill it, its resentment will be directed at you."

Tang Lingfei's breath was caught, but then she felt something was wrong.

"Do you think I'm Xiao Ye? It's no use trying to scare me with ghost stories!"

"I'm just telling the truth."

"and many more……"

Tang Lingfei thought about it, picked up a handful of chopped onions and brought them to Xu Zhe.

Xu Zhe couldn't help but blink hard, and only felt better when he moved back.

Tang Lingfei put down the onion and said, "I told you, it's obviously because of the onion smell, and you're still teasing me!"

Xu Zhe: "Haha, you don't even know this little common sense that cutting onions will make you cry. It's a joke."

Tang Lingfei: "I don't cook, isn't this normal? Forget it, I won't help you."

Xu Zhe: "Alright, you're responsible for washing the dishes anyway."

Tang Lingfei snorted, turned and walked out of the kitchen, and returned to Song Xingye.

Because the house is too small, especially Song Xingye's bedroom, there is no room for a desk, so she usually studies at the dining table in the living room. Today is no exception.

Song Xingye was holding a youth literature magazine and reading it with great interest.

Tang Lingfei sat down next to her and said, "Xu Zhe is deliberately irritating me again."

Song Xingye glanced at her and smiled, "Isn't this normal? Childhood sweethearts are supposed to tease each other."

Tang Lingfei: "Then are you willing to be teased by him?"

Song Xingye put down the magazine and thought for a while, not knowing what he was thinking about, and then said, "I don't care."

"You don't mind being teased?" Tang Lingfei narrowed her eyes, "Then I'm going to tell you a ghost story."

Song Xingye's face froze, but then he chuckled and stretched out his hand: "Okay, then I'm going to tickle you."

Tang Lingfei: "Hey, stop, I haven't said anything yet, stop scratching me! Why are you bullying me..."

Of course, Song Xingye had no intention of really scratching her. He just pretended to scare her and then withdrew his hand.

Tang Lingfei suddenly sighed: "It's so nice to be with you two. It's much more fun than being alone before."

Song Xingye: "Why are you alone? Aren't Xu Zhe and you childhood sweethearts?"

Tang Lingfei curled her lips. "When he was in elementary school, he liked playing games the most, or reading books. He didn't like playing with me. So, I wouldn't hang around him all day. In fact, when we were in fifth and sixth grade, our relationship was already very distant. It was only before the first year of junior high school, after that summer vacation, that things suddenly got better again."

Song Xingye: "So that's how it is..."

Tang Lingfei suddenly remembered something and murmured, "He seemed to have said that he owed me a request."

Song Xingye: "What do you mean?"

Tang Lingfei: "He wanted to borrow my computer and said he owed me a favor. I could ask for anything in the future. Haha, does it sound like something from a martial arts movie? 'Thank you for your help, lady. If you need anything in the future, bring this jade pendant to me and I will unconditionally grant you a wish.' Does it sound like that?"

The smile on Song Xingye's face gradually disappeared, and he just nodded: "It does look a bit like it."

Tang Lingfei: "What do you think is a good request for me to make?"

Song Xingye: "He has already helped you a lot. I think it's not a good idea to ask him for anything more."

Tang Lingfei waved her hands: "Oh, he helped me, but agreeing to a request is another matter! He has helped me so much, so the worst that can happen is that I will repay him with my body in the future."

Song Xingye swallowed silently, calmed himself down, and then said, "That depends on what you are most worried about right now."

"What worries me the most now..." Tang Lingfei thought for a moment and sighed, "That is, my academic performance is not good enough, so I can't go to the Experimental Middle School with you guys."

Song Xingye: "But even if you ask Xu Zhe for help, it seems to be useless."

Tang Lingfei frowned and became a little distressed: "Yes, you and he have helped me with my studies. I have made some progress, but I am still far from it. I really don't think I can do as well as you guys. I can't do it at all. But I really don't want to be separated from you next year..."

Next summer will be the junior high school entrance exam, and after that, Tang Lingfei will go to high school. Unless a miracle happens, it seems that it will be very difficult for her to go to school with her two top student friends.

Song Xingye: "Would you like to try to be a sports student? Feifei, you are really good at sports."

Tang Lingfei: "Can you really get into the experimental middle school in the provincial capital just by relying on your sports expertise?"

Song Xingye hesitated for a moment: "I don't know either..."

At this time, Xu Zhe came over with a dish of freshly baked spicy chicken.

He heard the last two sentences of the conversation between the girls and said, "There is still a year and a half before the high school entrance examination. Don't be discouraged. Try more different possibilities."

Tang Lingfei: "Different possibilities?"

Xu Zhe smiled slightly: "I really suggest that you go home and ask your parents if they have any connections in education and try to find some connections."

Tang Lingfei slammed the table and said, "You want me to spend money to go to high school again?"

Xu Zhe put down the dish and held onto the table: "You can spend some money on this kind of thing, it won't cost much."

Song Xingye couldn't help but snickering: "Your method is really mature."

Xu Zhe changed his tone and explained, "Because I really know that many people paid to go there. Experimental Middle School has an enrollment quota every year, but outside of the quota, some students can be placed in. Spend some money and make a class of 45 people become 46 people. As long as you find the right connections, this can be done."

Tang Lingfei hesitated and asked, "Will it really work?"

Xu Zhe: "Yes, but the prerequisite is that your grades can't be too bad. They can give you a break and lower your score, but if it's too far behind, there's nothing we can do."

Tang Lingfei said in a low voice embarrassedly: "Then I'll go back and ask my parents."

Let me report to you all that the first order of this book reached 1,700, so I will add two chapters, starting tomorrow.

The current average subscription is around fifteen hundred, which is still a bit far from two thousand...but the average subscription should increase, so I also have to work hard to save manuscripts, adjust my state, and prepare to update three chapters a day.

When Tang Lingfei returned home, it was already dark and her parents had already returned home from get off work.

Mom and Dad are watching TV.

The lazy look of the two lying on the sofa made Tang Lingfei suddenly realize that her habit of lying down and watching TV should be inherited from her family. But this made people a little puzzled - Xu Zhe's parents didn't seem to be anything special, so how could they raise such an amazing son?

Tang Wanghai suddenly asked, "Have you had dinner?"

Tang Lingfei nodded: "Yes, at Xiaoye's house, Xu Zhe cooked the meal."

"That's great..." Tang Wanghai had just opened his mouth to sigh when he was interrupted by a slap on the leg by his wife.

"If you think it's so good, why don't you go find someone else to eat with you? Why are you eating what I cook?"

Tang Wanghai smiled at his wife and said, "Your cooking is delicious, too. Really!"

The parents just had a few words and then continued watching TV. But today was different for the daughter.

Tang Lingfei also sat on the sofa, but her mind was not on the TV screen. She observed the expressions of her parents and suddenly asked tentatively: "If a child wants to study hard, should the parents... spend money on her?"

Tang Wanghai immediately became alert: "You have enough pocket money. If you don't believe me, ask Xu Zhe next door."

Tang Lingfei: "He can make money on his own, which is different."

Tang Wanghai: "Forget it, comparing him to others is too bullying, let's just talk about your good friend Xingye..."

Tang Lingfei: "If you compare Xiao Ye to me, then it's not bullying?"

Tang Wanghai chuckled, "Then who do you want to compare yourself with? These are your two best friends. They both have great grades, but their pocket money is lower than yours, right? Xingye used to have more pocket money than you, but now her family has had a change, so her pocket money is lower than yours, but her grades haven't changed at all."

The mother also chimed in, "You should be rewarded for your improved grades. But you have to eat one bite at a time. You can't be so eager to ask for money just because your grades have improved a little. Besides, aren't we spending enough money on your studies?"

Tang Wanghai: "That's right. Although Xu Zhe and Xing Ye are cheap and effective, our family is also bleeding money with such long-term and uninterrupted tutoring. Do you know that the amount of meat in the dishes your mother cooks for me is getting smaller and smaller?"

The mother sneered and said, "It's nothing to eat less meat. I don't even buy expensive skin care products anymore. I only use Dabao now!"

Tang Lingfei was stunned by her parents' habitual complaints. However, she felt something was wrong. Were these two people thinking in the wrong way?

The girl frowned and said, "But I didn't ask you to give me pocket money."

Tang Wanghai was stunned: "Then why do you want parents to spend money? You can't possibly sign up for tutoring classes, right?"

Tang Lingfei: "What I want to say is, that... is the Experimental High School in the provincial capital. You know it, right? Xu Zhe told me that if I want to go to that school, I can pay to get in."

Tang Wanghai: "Can you pay to get into the Experimental Middle School? I really don't know."

Tang's mother slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, the child is willing to go to a good school on his own initiative. This is a good thing!"

Tang Wanghai glanced at his daughter and said meaningfully, "What attracts you, a good school or good friends?"

Tang's mother: "It's okay if you go there for your good friend, just don't talk about your friend. Old Tang, go ask how you can contact the teacher at the Experimental Middle School."

Tang Wanghai: "If you don't have any connections, then neither do I!"

Before he finished speaking, his wife glared at him and said, "So I asked you to ask!"

"Who should I ask?"

"Ask your old friend first."

"Old Xu? He's not...wait, it seems like he might actually know some people."

"Even if he doesn't know him now, his son is such a good student. It would be easy to find him by using his son as an excuse, right?"

As the couple speculated, they had already decided what to do next.

Tang Lingfei suddenly asked, "It's not okay to give me more pocket money, but it's okay to spend a lot more money on school?"

The couple said in unison: "Of course!"

On the morning of a new day, Shen Lan called Xu Zhe and asked right away, "Are you still not going to the office today?"

Xu Zhe: "I don't have anything special to do recently, and I still have to tutor someone."
