According to Lin Huan and Xi Xiao's understanding of the school's teachers, the oldest and longest-serving math teacher should be Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang is about fifty years old this year. After every math test, Lao Zhang often says "you"

"This is the worst class we have ever brought up" is a mandarin saying to [motivate] the students. In addition, he also often said that "I have been the best class of students since my last class."

.

"Up, up, up, up... After all, he has been teaching in school for at least fifteen years." Xia Mo counted on his fingers, "But... according to what you put it, I feel like this guy is an antique... Yes

Isn’t it difficult to deal with?”

"Yes...it means he is an old antique...that's why I find it troublesome. But there is nothing we can do about it. All we know is that Lao Zhang is older."

Lin Huan and Xi Xiao went to the office of the mathematics teaching team. Xi Xiao turned around and asked,

【Have you thought about how to strike up a conversation?】

Lin Huan nodded and took out his math notebook, "Shall we ask questions? Pretend that you want to ask the teacher a question, but you are too embarrassed to ask, so I will bring you here. Usually when Lao Zhang meets such a student, he will scold him first.

But you have always been the exception."

Whether it is teachers or classmates, everyone takes good care of Xixiao, and everyone can guarantee this.

[Once we close the distance, we’ll become more familiar, right? 】

"Hmm...I'm not very good at this."

[Let me handle this step...]

"Uh-huh."

Xixiao suddenly reached out to Lin Huan with clenched fists and smiled at him.

Does this mean... we need to support each other?

Lin Huan pushed back with his fist.

"So let me tell you... If I lived at your age, I wouldn't be able to solve this kind of problem... Why should I study? Even if I teach pigs, pigs still know how to hum! You have water in your ears.

You said you don’t want to open the root number here, don’t open the root number... Why can’t you listen? Don’t say that I teach you math from now on! It’s really... ugh... you’re going to make your heart disease so angry that it relapses

.”

From a distance outside the office, I heard Lao Zhang cursing. Standing there were two boys from Lin Huan and Xi Xiao's class. There was a math test yesterday. Lin Huan did well, but Xi Xiao was just average.

, the three of them waited patiently for Lao Zhang to finish reprimanding the students. Listening to the scolding process, they couldn't help but feel guilty. In the end, Lin Huan had the courage to knock on the door.

"Come in." Lao Zhang took a sip of tea and said when he saw Lin Huan, "Ah... it's Lin Huan. You came just in time. I have something to ask you."

……Eh?

Lin Huan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, thinking that he had obviously done well in the test this time.

"The full score is 120 points, and you got 114 points in the exam. Originally... it was actually pretty good. But I think you've been a bit lazy recently... so I've been worried about you. 114? It's not high, it's not high, it's not low either.

Low... There are several questions that I think you can't do, but you have done them all. This is very good and worthy of praise... But look at you, the multiple-choice question has a correct rate of 97%. You

That’s the three percent. This question is for free points! It’s for free points..."

Lao Zhang pointed at Lin Huan's wrong question on the paper and kept sighing. Lin Huan instantly got into Lao Zhang's rhythm, rubbing his head and only knowing that he was submissive. Naturally, Xi Xiao couldn't say anything, and Xia Mo was happy on the side.

"Don't look at this question and it's only three points. When you take the college entrance examination, you may be just three points short of getting into your ideal school... So I often say, if you try your best, it will be whatever you take. I don't blame you. But.

If you are complacent after making such a low-level mistake, then I will criticize you——"

"So..." Lin Huan was choked and uttered incoherently, "So I came here to ask you for advice...ah, today I came to ask you a math problem on behalf of classmate Xixiao."

"Well..." Lao Zhang's eyes fell on Xi Xiao, who took a few steps back in fear. The sorrowful look on Lao Zhang's face disappeared instantly, and his voice rose several times -

"Ah...it's Xixiao...Classmate Xixiao—let me see..."

"Tsk tsk...Student Xixiao's grades have been relatively stable recently. That's good. Speaking of which, Lin Huan, I'd like to talk about you again...Look, your handwriting is not ugly, but why is it so bad on the paper?

So much neater than you? We are also reviewing test papers. Do you think our teachers like to read Xixiao’s test papers or yours?”

Lao Zhang may have felt his mouth was a little dry, so he took a sip of tea and continued,

"No matter how well you do in the exam, your impression score will be greatly reduced to the teacher. The teacher may think that you are just doing nothing and don't take the teacher seriously at all. But Xixiao's seriousness and carefulness are shown in every word."

Attitude. The most important thing in learning is attitude!”

"Look... Student Xixiao, although she only scored 91 points, she got all the marks she should get. Ah! I'm not saying that Xixiao is not smart. I always think that everyone has the same talent.

But...but Xixiao was able to achieve such results despite her own insufficient conditions. I think this is her progress...and deserves recognition! Ah, Xixiao, can you understand what I am saying?"

Classmate Xixiao was praised to the heavens by Lao Zhang, as if her 91 points were better than 150 points. In order to let classmate Xixiao hear it, Lao Zhang's voice was so loud that Lin Huan's ears were deafened - only to see classmate Xixiao

Nodding silently, Lin Huan felt for the first time how happy it was to have poor hearing.

"Ahem...I've said so much, Lin Huan, have you listened? I think you are absent-minded...You are a student, what should I say to you-"

Lin Huan nodded crazily and said with a smile, "Teacher Zhang, what the teacher said is absolutely right! So can you help classmate Xixiao solve the problem now? Although I can solve it, I can't let classmate Xixiao figure it out."

"Hmph... I always emphasize that knowing it yourself is completely different from asking others to do it. Lin Huan, although you may be able to do this question, but who are you? You pretend to understand. You can't understand the question.

What is the essence of the problem? You only know how to solve the problem in one way, but you can't understand it comprehensively. Therefore, you can't teach Xixiao how to do this problem. It's superficial. Only by truly understanding it, no matter how the problem changes, it changes.

Stay true to your origins, and you can tell it to classmate Xixiao when the time comes. So, when you study, you have to study hard——"

The only thing that could stop Lao Zhang from opening his mouth was the ringing of the preparation bell - at the same time as he heard the bell, Lao Zhang just finished explaining the solution to the math problem. He smiled and patted Xi Xiao on the shoulder, encouraging her to continue working hard, and then

Lin Huan was urged to take Xi Xiao back to the classroom.

The two of them ran so fast that they almost missed the school bell.

…

Lin Huan scratched the back of his head and looked back at Xixiao while the teacher was still taking out the lesson plan, "What did we do with Lao Zhang just now..."

Xixiao shook her head and wrote in her notebook,

[Let me think about how to solve the problem just now.]

【Okay...I'll figure it out myself first.】

Xia Mo rubbed her eyes and got up in the office.

Damn...you didn't even ask me to go back with you after you finished speaking? You have no conscience.

"So, today's students..."

Lao Zhang took a sip of tea and chatted with other members of the teaching team.

Xia Mo was about to leave the office when a teacher suddenly asked Lao Zhang, "Speaking of which, I heard that Mr. Zhang, our grade director was also your student twenty years ago, right? He was the "best class" you taught.

?"

Lao Zhang suddenly felt as if he had a cold shiver and kept trembling, "That boy... really can't do it. Although he often ranks first in the grade, his heart is wild, and he even caused a big incident in school.

.”

Twenty years ago...a big event?!
