Seeing her daughter’s expression a bit heavy, Lin Qingyin’s Mother couldn’t help but remember Lin Qingyin failed in the exam at the end of last semester, and so she comforted her in heartache: “You’ve always been a hard-working child. Take your time, mom believes in you. Even if you fail once or twice, don’t pressure yourself too much, and don’t jump into the river again.”

Lin Qingyin was stunned by her mother’s food for the soul, but then went back to the room in a daze and checked the textbook on the table. While undergoing makeup class for a half month, she started studying science lessons from the first year of junior high school. But, Lin Qingyin only learned all the lessons in mathematics and lessons in physics of junior high school physics and half the lessons in the first-year high school.

Besides that, she hasn’t read chemistry yet and she can’t speak English at all. She had read the history books during her vacant time. She also read geography and politics books because they were part of her homework. She can remember the parts she did in her homework, and also understand some things in the owner’s memory, but it’s not too much.

Looking at the variety of subjects, Lin Qingyin couldn’t help but give herself divination to know the order of the exam. Mathematics, Chinese and English were ranked first, followed by a few science courses, and finally three liberal arts subjects. She still has time to read these subjects.

Lin Qingyin picked up the Chinese test paper at the end of last semester and read it from beginning to end, and then called Jiang Wei to ask if there is a good way to improve the grade in Chinese. Jiang Wei was very happy to hear that, he rode his bicycle straight to the Xinhua Bookstore and started shopping.

The exercises and essays in Chinese were indispensable, but Jiang Wei felt like he cannot be partial to other subjects. Why should he just buy Chinese exercises? Why not also give Mathematics and English a face? And since he was here to buy books, he better go all out and also buys books for the second year of high school.

Jiang Wei thought that the questions he has taken into account were very reasonable. How could high school students not practice solving problems?

Jiang Wei was originally a top student. Although it has been 4 years since he went to high school, he could still remember which publishers have good study exercises, which was quite similar to exam questions. In half an hour, Jiang Wei’s shopping cart was filled with teaching aids.

He certainly couldn’t carry so many books alone. Jiang Wei called Fatty Wang and asked him to pick him up at Xinhua Bookstore. Fatty Wang lives near the Xinhua Bookstore. He used to set up a stall in the alley not far behind it, but he stopped doing this deceptive job after he met Lin Qingyin.

When Lin Qingyin was preparing to start school in the past 2 days, Fatty Wang could only read at home. Although the air conditioner was turned on at home, he felt hot as if he was boiling a tea. Fatty Wang felt like his concentration and efficiency has been reduced unlike when he was studying at Lin Qingyin’s house.

Fatty Wang was feeling uncomfortable on his back, but when he received a call from Jiang Wei, he immediately took his car key and went out of the house excitedly. When he arrived at the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore, Fatty Wang was shocked when he saw Jiang Wei pushing a cart full of books: “Are you planning to open a shop yourself?”

Jiang Weile couldn’t close his mouth for a moment. And then, patted the thick set of exercises and said with a smile: “This is the study material I prepared for the little master.”

Fatty Wang looked at Jiang Wei in doubt. What kind of hatred could he possibly have to be so cruel to the Little Master?

Fatty Wang drove the car downstairs to where Lin Qingyin lived and carried the books to the third floor. Recently, the two of them often came to Lin Qingyin’s house. Coupled with the quarrel between Lin Qingyin’s Mother and the aunt who chewed her tongue, the neighbors learned that these two were Lin Qingyin’s tutors.

The two just arrived in time, when the neighbors were about to go to work at noon. The neighbors were envious after seeing the teaching materials in the car trunk. Especially those who have children studying in school. They went forward and asked if he tutored other students. After all, they had never seen such a good tutor like Jiang Wei, who was so responsible in his work.

Fatty Wang happily dealt with people. Then, the two of them carried the books they bought on the third floor and moved them to Lin Qingyin’s room. Lin Qingyin’s room was small. Half of her room was immediately occupied by books.

Lin Qingyin was very happy when she received Jiang Wei’s generous gift. She could memorize books such as history and geography. However, she was having a headache when it comes to reading comprehension in Chinese. She couldn’t understand why a human being must have so many feelings. It’s just a trivial matter to encounter something you couldn’t figure out. If it was her, she only needs to read divination.

Jiang Wei turned over all the Chinese workbooks. Not only he bought workbooks for the first year of high school, but he also bought workbooks for the second year of high school. As a person who has received the gift of “Five Years College Entrance Examination and Three Years Simulation”, he hoped others can also experience this kind of “happiness”, who would expect that Lin Qingyin really looked happy.
