After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 248 Multiplication table

Lu He seemed to be well versed in the art of controlling people. At least at this moment, he succeeded in making Xu Mengxiao rely on him a little more.

But he was also thinking about where he learned these methods. If he hadn't been a bit raw, Xu Mengxiao might have felt not happiness, but disgust.

Watching the man wiping his fingers, those hands were too beautiful, slender and clear, like fine jade, and even more noble than her delicate jade hands after careful maintenance.

Xu Mengxiao couldn't help but feel a heat in her heart, attracted by his nonchalant actions.

"You helped me, should I help you too?"

She raised her lazy and seductive eyebrows, and Lu He suddenly held her hand tightly.

"Don't make trouble." The roots of his ears were completely red, which surprised Xu Mengxiao for a moment. How could he be so... strong, bold and innocent?
Xu Mengxiao's hands were locked tightly by him all night, and even if he fell into a coma in the middle of his sleep, he did not lower his guard against her.

As a result, even if Xu Mengxiao had any ability, he couldn't put it to use and was very depressed.

The next day, she overslept directly. When she went out to help sell braised pork, her mother and eldest sister were already busy, preparing to close the stall and start working in the evening.

At this time, a middle-aged man in simple clothes came over and said hello to her mother.

Wang's expression brightened to the naked eye, "You're here to buy braised pork again!"

Even Xu Lingyan suddenly became enthusiastic, as if she had swept away the fatigue and looseness just now, and hurriedly filled him with a bowl of braised pork.

"No, you don't have to pay so much." The man gave in politely and inadvertently seemed to glance at Mrs. Wang.

"I'm alone, I can't eat so much, I'm alone..."

"That's what you have to do, you're welcome."

Xu Mengxiao looked a little surprised from behind. When her mother and eldest sister were selling braised pork, they treated customers very enthusiastically, which was one of the reasons why their business was doing well and now has a great reputation.

But they are very different from this polite man, as if they are a little grateful and close?
Xu Mengxiao always felt that something was strange. When the man walked away without stopping after buying the braised pork, she didn't pay much attention.

For a whole day, she watched her eldest sister bring some stewed bones to Xiao Hui to eat, wash the meat, finish housework, and then picked up the embroidery and started doing it quickly without any delay.

When they had almost finished embroidering a pattern, Xu Lingyan picked up the book that the female master brought to them and tried hard to read the words.

Mr. Wang was no exception. He had almost no chance to rest all day long, and spent all his spare time trying to learn arithmetic.

Not only do you have to be able to count, you also have to be able to calculate, which is a bit difficult for a woman who has never read.

But she didn't dare to slack off at all. With several promising and motivated children as role models, how could she say it was difficult?So Xu Mengxiao could always see her counting with a small stick made of sorghum poles. Only then did she realize that there was no multiplication table here, and the calculation rules she learned were awkward and complicated.

Let alone her mother, she won’t be able to remember it for a while.

Unlike the multiplication tables, through continuous streamlining, even memorizing them by rote can save a lot of trouble.

Xu Mengxiao did not hesitate immediately and drew a table for them using the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in Zihan's room, and then called her mother and the others over.

"What is this?" Xu Lingyan was surprised when she looked at the number like a ladder, and her intuition must be something good.

"These are simplified Arabic numerals. This is the multiplication table. Do you think it is easier to remember it this way? One by one equals one... ninety-nine eighty-one."

The two of them gradually listened in trance, and Lu He, who was standing at the door, was suddenly brought into her teaching.

At this moment, Xu Mengxiao kept saying some new and surprising words in her mouth. For a moment, Lu He even felt that she seemed not to be from this world.

Xu Mengxiao was talking engrossed when her wrist was suddenly held, "Your multiplication table is very practical."

"Really, when did you come?"

Lu He smiled faintly and just recited the formula list to her, almost not letting Xu Mengxiao take a breath.

"It seems I haven't finished everything, right?" He was listening from such a distance, so how could he know everything?
"If you know the previous rules, just do some calculations and you'll know the rest."

Xu Mengxiao no longer knows what to say. Is she trying to trick the class?
"You, you know how to memorize it now?" Mrs. Wang also sighed to herself, but she was convinced of the defeat, "Xiaoxiao, tell me about this quickly, I think it is very useful."

After Xu Mengxiao almost explained it to them, Xu Lingyan and Xu Lingyan were ready to memorize the formula first, as if they had found a treasure.

At this time, Lu He said to her: "I went to Baichuan Academy the day before yesterday and met a respected old gentleman. He encountered some problems. Maybe your formula table and algorithm will be useful to him."

"Huh?" Xu Mengxiao didn't understand, "Didn't you help him solve this problem?"

Lu He shook his head, "I can't answer it, but I was triggered by you just now and I have some ideas."

But Lu He said this because he wanted Xu Mengxiao to communicate with the old gentleman by herself.

"What is the origin of that old gentleman?"
