Chapter 84 Welcome new students
"400 a school year?"
Li Yu couldn't believe the price. He went to so many tutoring institutions two days ago and had some understanding of the prices of education and training in this city. In those tutoring institutions, the price of a 15-course training is at least 3,000 yuan. If it is one-on-one tutoring, the price in a single hour can reach 400 yuan. Now, this school's tuition for a school year is only 400 yuan, which is not as good as a pot of tea in Sanseong Teahouse, nor is it as good as a dish in Bai Herbal Medicinal Food Floor.
"Why, do you think such a low tuition fee is surprising?" He Shijia looked at Li Yu's blank expression and asked with a faint smile. After teaching in this school for two years, she has become accustomed to this surprising expression.
"It's a bit unexpected. With such a low tuition fee, how can the school make money?" Li Yu asked.
He Shijia smiled faintly and said, "If you want to make money, there will be no such school. I hope you can cherish Principal Xuan's intentions and study hard. Okay, this question is not what you should consider. Go to the finance office to pay the fee."
The finance office was next to the principal's office. When Yan Chunyan accompanied Li Yu to the finance office, she turned her head and saw that He Shijia had not followed her. She put her mouth to Li Yu's ear and asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, have you thought about tutoring here?"
"Well, I'm starting to be a little interested." Li Yu replied.
Yan Chunyan smiled and said, "You are not interested in this Teacher He?"
"Uh..." Li Yu was speechless. It seemed that girls' concerns were different. In fact, what moved Li Yu the most was not He Shijia, and of course she was not her beauty... Well, Li Yu admitted that He Shijia was a beautiful girl, but at least she was not as beautiful as it was to the point of being beautiful in the whole country. What Li Yu was interested in was the ultra-low tuition that this school could not believe. He had calculated in his heart that with such a tuition standard, this school would definitely suffer a serious loss. If someone was willing to pay for money to run such a school, at least the sincerity of running the school could be believed.
Yan Chunyan accompanied Li Yu to pay the tuition and left. Today is the weekend, and the literacy class is in class at this time. He Shijia told him that after Li Yu paid the fee, he could go to the class and try to delay some courses as little as possible.
While during the break, He Shijia brought Li Yu into the classroom. The classroom was rebuilt with a warehouse and the roof was extremely high, making the room empty. A few wires fell from the roof, and a few energy-saving lamps hung on the heads of the students. The layout of the classroom was no different from that of ordinary primary and secondary schools. It was also a podium and a blackboard, with more than a dozen desks arranged below. Li Yu had never seen a modern classroom in the past, so he felt that it was a bit fresh.
There are about 20 students in the classroom, and some of the seats are empty. He Shijia told Li Yu in advance that most of the students in the class have jobs and can only ask for leave when they work overtime in the unit, so the attendance rate in the class will never reach 100%. It is precisely because people are always absent from work, so the classmates in the class have also formed a tradition of helping each other. Those who miss classes in the last class will take the initiative to make up for them to ensure that they can keep up with the progress of their studies.
He Shijia led Li Yu to the podium, let him face everyone, and then introduced:
"Dear students, I will introduce a new classmate to you. This is Li Yu, a wise and foolish person. Li Yu only came to Yuhai to work in May this year. Like many of our classmates, it was the first time I went to the city. By the way, Li Yu, what job do you do in Yuhai now?"
"Oh, I'm working in a restaurant." Li Yu said with a honest smile to everyone.
"Everyone applauds, welcome Li Yu to join our big family." He Shijia said loudly, and at the same time he was the first to applaud.
The students in the classroom also applauded, and the applause was quite warm, which made Li Yu feel a sense of warmth.
Those who can come to cram school after working are all motivated and dreamy. In daily life, they are often regarded as a group without culture and ability, and they see disdain or cheap sympathy. Only in this place can they feel that they are a piece of carved jade, and every encouragement from teachers or classmates is so precious to them.
In this environment, every new student makes them feel that they have another like-minded person, which makes them feel less lonely. Therefore, their welcome to Li Yu comes from the heart, and this emotion can be clearly expressed in their applause.
"Li Yu, please sit in this position." He Shijia brought Li Yu to a girl and said to him, "This is Zhou Zijun, the same year as you. By the way, she is still your colleague and also works in a hotel. You should have a common language."
"Is that true?" Li Yu looked at his new deskmate, smiled and reached out and said, "Hello!"
"Hello...hello." The girl named Zhou Zijun was stunned for a moment. When she realized that Li Yu was about to shake hands with her, her face turned red suddenly. She stretched out her hand timidly, touched Li Yu for a while, and then hurriedly took it back.
"Zhou Zijun has a good foundation and is the most serious study. You are already late to school. If you don't understand anything about the previous homework, you can ask Zhou Zijun to tutor you." He Shijia explained to Li Yu.
"Teacher He, I don't like to listen to your words. Sister Zijun has the best academic performance, I admit it. But it's wrong to say that she is the most serious in her studies. There are other students in the class who are also very serious in their studies. You can't deny them completely." A boy sitting in the back row pretended to have a serious expression and protested to He Shijia.
He Shijia glanced at the boy and said with a smile: "Wang Hongwei, you are right in criticism. There are some flaws in my words just now. Zhou Zijun is indeed one of the most serious students in the class. Some other students are also very serious in their studies, but..."
Speaking of this, she turned her head to Li Yu and said, "Li Yu, let me introduce you to you again. This classmate is named Wang Hongwei. He is the least serious student in the class, no doubt about it."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The whole class laughed loudly, and even the somewhat shy Zhou Zijun laughed out loud, probably because she felt that she was laughing too presumptuously. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands and glanced at Li Yu from the corner of her eyes, for fear that Li Yu would show disgust.
"It turns out that it is one of the few brothers Wang Ren, who is disrespectful." Li Yu clasped his fists to Wang Hongwei and bowed, which made Wang Hongwei even more embarrassed, and the whole class laughed even harder.
"Teacher He, I finally got a new classmate. If you just vilify me like this, can you calculate my psychological shadow area? At least I have to let my new classmate admire me for two days. It's not too late for you to vilify me again." Wang Hongwei looked at He Shijia with a sad look and said.
"Yeah, sorry, I'm letting go. Next time, I'll come to the new classmate next time, I will definitely praise you for five minutes." He Shijia said with a smile, and patted Wang Hongwei on the back. Li Yu saw a dirty flower blooming on Wang Hongwei's face, and it was obvious that He Shijia's slap made his bones numb. He Shijia is no older than the students in the class. She is pretty and has a casual personality. She has long been the dream lover of all the boys in the class.
After settled Li Yu, He Shijia left. Li Yu sat down in his seat, and made all the stacks of books he had just received. Then he looked around for a few times, and finally turned his face to Zhou Zijun, who was at the same table, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, that Zhou...Classmate Zhou, how did he attend class?"
"Hey, man, it's wrong for you to chat with girls like this. Asking such questions will make girls think you are very mentally retarded, okay?" Wang Hongwei stuck his head between Li Yu and Zhou Zijun and said to Li Yu, "You are not educated anymore and have been to elementary school, right? Do you don't know how to attend classes?"
"I really don't know... I haven't been to elementary school again." Li Yu said seriously.
"Stop teasing, you won't say you can't read, right?" Wang Hongwei argued.
Li Yu said: "Of course I can read, but I really haven't been to elementary school. I studied with the old man in a private school. This is the first time I have entered a classroom like you."
"Private school!" Wang Hongwei and Zhou Zijun exclaimed almost in unison. Perhaps because they felt that they were too synchronized with Wang Hongwei, Zhou Zijun blushed again, and even stuck out his tongue at a speed that was lightning speed, then covered his mouth at a faster speed and laughed at a sniffle.
"Yes, private school, is it strange?" Li Yu asked with confidence. He said lies a hundred times, and now he believed that this is the truth. He even felt that there was such a picture in his mind. In a big room, there was a group of children of all sizes, and a great scholar of the world was chanting loudly with a thread-bound book: Tie Ruyi, commanding a dashing commander, and he was shocked when he sat down...
At this time, the class bell rang. Wang Hongwei quickly sat back to his seat, and Zhou Zijun quickly put down his hand covering his mouth, sat upright, preparing for class. Seeing Li Yu being at a loss, she quickly stretched out her hand, pointed to one of the stacks of books in front of Li Yu, and whispered: "This class is a mathematics class. Take this book and turn to page 26..."
The teacher came in. Unlike the kind of old and virtuous Su Ru that Li Yu imagined, the teacher who came in looked only 20 yuan, with a childish look on his face, and even a little timid. He stood on the podium, and before he could speak, a blush appeared on his face.
"Uh... good weekend everyone... now we start class, please turn to page 26 of the textbook,... Before class, let's review what we taught in the last class. In the last class, we talked about the concept of fractions..."
