Ms. Su's home is very large and luxurious, far beyond what someone like Xiao Zixin who walked in for the first time could imagine with limited knowledge in advance.
I was confused as to where to look with my eyes and where to put my butt.
Seven purple-red and turquoise beaded flower chandeliers on the ceiling shine softly, and the surrounding walls are inlaid with carved pattern panels. The labels of the eighteen unique wall lamps are products produced by the French "Simon Global Lighting Company", with thick Singaporean labels.
The velvet curtains, the mirror-like polished floor are covered with precious Hungarian carpets, the bookshelves are filled with books, and the high-end sofas and fiberglass desks are the latest products from the Danish "Corson Company".
What impressed him the most, or the only thing that reminded him after entering this luxurious home for the first time, was that there seemed to be a row of various precious flowers in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows among the luxury, emitting a fragrant fragrance.
After some usual polite greetings, both parties took their seats.
Xiao Zixin saw that Ms. Su's little son, whom he was about to "tutor", looked very well-behaved, and he was listening curiously to him talking to his mother.
"How old are you?" Xiao Zixin reached out and touched his face.
"twelve!"
Back to business.
Xiao Zixin was embarrassed to mention what happened first, so Ms. Su said first: "Okay, Keke, you go watch TV, and mommy will talk to your Uncle Xiao for a while." Looking at her son's back, she turned her face.
Come on, "Xiao Xiao, looking at the information, you seem to have graduated from a prestigious university, right?"
"XX University." Xiao Zixin nodded, but for some reason his face felt hot for no reason. A famous university would inevitably go to other people's homes to promote itself. If he had been assigned a good job, he wouldn't have been like this. Alas.
.
"Honestly," Ms. Su's words rang in his ears again, bringing him back to his senses, "Maybe this is what I am looking for. Come to my house as a tutor, don't you think...oh, how should I put it?"
"I understand, it's nothing." Xiao Zixin said.
"Don't misunderstand me. I mean, isn't it a bit funny for a graduate from a national key university to teach such a small child like mine - a bit like a big horse pulling a small cart, killing a chicken with a bull's knife? Or anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes?
"
"No." Xiao Zixin shook his head.
From the moment he met Ms. Su until now, Xiao Zixin felt that she also had a certain level of cultural accomplishment or knowledge. Living in this mansion, he also saw that her left and right hands were covered with platinum diamond rings of unknown carats, and her long and white neck was looming.
Wearing the same dazzling platinum necklace, I became more and more confused. I didn't know where this polite rich woman came from, how she started her business, and what kind of business she was running now besides the supermarket introduced by Miss Sun. It was hard to ask.
Everything about Xiao Zixin was naturally within Ms. Su's eyes.
She made a cup of Brazilian coffee for Xiao Zixin and put it in front of him. She suddenly changed the subject: "Xiao Zixin, oh - I should call you Teacher Xiao from now on." She smiled lightly and continued the previous topic, "
Teacher Xiao, your family is from a rural area? Drink."
Xiao Zixin nodded honestly: "Yes. It's just down here in Niangniangzhai. It's not easy for me to get into college. I didn't expect that after graduation, I would be assigned to this poor unit to be a technical cadre. The factory's efficiency was not good, and my family was in trouble. I couldn't provide for it."
I have spent a lot of money going to school in the past ten years. I don’t want to disappoint my parents too much. I always want to find an additional job to earn more money. The more money I have, the more I will be miserable. Hey..."
Xiao Zixin smiled self-deprecatingly, looking at the cup of coffee, unconsciously sniffing the faint fragrance that drifted into his nostrils from there, but never picked it up and took a sip to taste it.
At school, the seven or eight bullshit brothers in the same room occasionally brought back a bag of coffee and everyone rushed to drink it, but it was just fake Hong Kong Nestlé.
Ms. Su smiled and said, "I understand, I understand..." She seemed deeply touched.
She asked: "Then how much salary do you want every month?"
Xiao Zixin was stunned for a moment. Seeing that she asked about the money directly, he said sheepishly: "You can give it to me."
Although I want to make money, I am really not used to it when it comes to income other than the wages of the Petition Office.
"No." Ms. Su is a businesswoman after all. She likes to discuss money in person and openly. Seeing that Xiao Zixin is very honest, she simply showed her cards, "I asked before I went to Miss Sun's place. Tutoring usually lasts a week."
Teaching two nights and one Sunday costs about 300 yuan a month. You have also seen my son Ke Ke. He is my hope. I would like to ask you to teach him every night, plus two days a week, every month.
I’ll give you 1,000 yuan, is that okay?”
1000 RMB?!
Damn it, Xiao Zixin was shocked. Of course, to quite a few people, this amount of money may not mean much now, but to Xiao Zixin, he even made up for the back wages that he had received since starting work, which was a full three months' wages.
It's just a little more than that.
Seeing his silence, Ms. Su added, "If it works, let's try it out for a month. Within a month, my son's academic performance will improve. From next month, you will officially be my son's tutor, with a salary of 1,200 yuan. However,
I am an outspoken person, and I will tell you ugly things, so don't be unwilling to listen to me. If you are not qualified, I will have to hire someone else."
I understood everything.
It saves a lot of twists and turns. Xiao Zixin replied:
"Okay, let me try."
That night, Xiao Zixin taught her son Ke Ke at Ms. Su’s home. It is certainly not a difficult task for a university graduate to teach a primary school student who has just entered school.
What's more, Xiao Zixin soon discovered that Keke was not stupid. Keke could remember anything he told him with his eyes wide open. He learned things very quickly, which increased Xiao Zixin's interest in this "third job".
"Second Career" and the confidence to be a good tutor and earn a high salary.
Ms. Su walked in quietly several times and stood silently behind the scenes, looking at each of the students and her husband, and listening to their conversations.
Xiao Zixin knew all this, and at first he looked back to take care of him and smiled.
But he was not focused on anything else. He was only focused on how to communicate with Ke Ke and let the knowledge in his belly be transferred into the little guy's belly. After that, he rarely looked back.
It's already very late.
At about nine o'clock, Xiao Zixin asked Ke Ke to pack up his textbooks and stand up by himself.
"I have to go back, Sister Su."
"Okay, thank you, Xiao Xiao. It seems that my son listens to you, so I'm relieved. I'll give it to you." Ms. Su stood up on the sofa in the living room, put down the calculator in her hand, and looked happy.
.
Xiao Zixin quickly said: "No, no, Sister Su, I can find the door to go out this time. You can rest."
He walked out the door without saying much. Ms. Su walked him to the door and told him to come back tomorrow night. The security guard at the gate would not make things difficult for him anymore, and she would take care of him. His bicycle could also be pushed in directly.
Returning to the work dormitory, Xiao Zixin felt as if he was in a dream.
Everything he saw and came into contact with was a completely new and unfamiliar environment to him. The flowers emitting various fragrances seemed to still be swaying in front of his eyes, and the fragrance was fragrant...
Unknowingly, he fell into sleep.
Far and near, there seemed to be many large gardens, magnificent and varied. There were ponds in the gardens, and islands in the ponds. Hills, ponds, grasslands, lush forests, stone bridges, winding paths, pavilions, pavilions,
The layout is coordinated, elegant and pleasing to the eye, flowers bloom all year round, and the rockery with strange rocks is ingenious.
The morning breeze, accompanied by bursts of laughter, hit his nostrils, and Xiao Zixin felt relieved.
