i was my mistake

24. Large table lamp

Zhao Jinyu was holding a long pole, and walked out unsteadily. Something knocked against the door frame, which startled her. After looking up, she tilted the pole a little, and then walked out slowly. .

"...This is... a desk lamp?" Ye Chen opened his eyes exaggeratedly, "It's almost like a street lamp at home..."

"Da." Zhao Jinyu didn't answer, just connected it to the socket, and then pressed the switch.

An orange light came from the desk lamp.

The light is soft and not dazzling, but it doesn't look dim, which is enough for homework.

The shadows of the three were magnified several times and reflected on the opposite wall.

"Okay, that's a great atmosphere." She clapped her hands in satisfaction, sat down on Wan Qing's left, took out all the homework from her schoolbag, and spread them on the table.

"Well, this one's done, this one's done too, this... half written—have you written math yet?"

"We don't seem to have any math homework today." Ye Chen scratched his head, he planned to finish the Chinese copying homework first.

——Those were the last two classical Chinese essays that I hadn’t learned. They were each very long. Fortunately, I only had to copy each one once.

"Did you do the copying homework first?" Zhao Jinyu held his cheeks curiously, "I usually write the ones that need to use my brain first, and leave the copying homework at the end when I relax."

"... Can you still relax while doing homework?" Wan Qing had already begun to feel the gap between herself and the top student.

"Yes, you don't need to use your brain to copy, just copy it down, isn't it relaxing? When I feel very tired, I also copy something to relax my mood."

"No wonder you study so well..." Wan Qing pushed Ye Chen's arm, "Did you hear that, study hard, you see people regard study as a way to relax, next time you relax, you can also copy things!"

"Oh, everyone is different, and interest needs to be cultivated slowly." Zhao Jinyu waved his hand and said with a chuckle, "What is the math homework in your class like?"

Probably because of the first day of school, so even if it is the fifth class, the homework is the same as that of the first class, and the questions in the exercise book are written.

It's just that class one needs to write three pages, while class five only needs to write one page.

Ye Chen stretched his neck, watching her turn over the topics she had written: "Wow, you've only written half of it? What we need to write is only two-thirds of what you have written now, cough... CDBA... "

"Slap!" Wan Qing slapped him on the back of the head, "No peeking, do it yourself! What's the use of copying two answers to lie to yourself!"

"Yes yes yes...don't be so strict...cough."

"Didn't you do your homework at school? Write some at school, and less at home, and you can ask your classmates and teachers if you don't understand at school."

"Do it starting tomorrow."

For many later students, it was normal to do homework in school, but in this era, it is the practice of a few people, and generally those who do this are good students.

The main reason is that graduating from high school in this era is not too bad. For many ordinary students, university is like future college students facing the postgraduate entrance examination. They may try it, but they don't take it too seriously.

"Let's do math together!" Wan Qing took out her exercise booklet, and wrote her name on the title page—she hadn't even read the new book she just brought.

It is full of review of past knowledge points, the first one is quite simple, the second one requires a little brainstorming, and the third one... Wan Qing drew a page of numbers in the draft book, not sure what the answer is which.

——Because the number she got was not any of the options at all.

"Uh……"

"Um……"

Wan Qing and Ye Chen both revealed expressions of thought at the same time.

One frowned, and the other bit his finger.

Under the warm yellow light, silence is Cambridge tonight.

The thoughts of both of them began to fly to the distance involuntarily.

"Hmm? What's the matter? Can't write?" Fortunately, Zhao Jinyu pulled back the souls of the two who were about to be separated in time, and there was a particularly amiable smile on that cute little face, "Why not, I teach you?"

"The third question." The two spoke in unison.

Wan Qing squinted at Ye Chen, who also coughed dryly.

"Look, the third question is very simple. Look at what answer the question requires you to get, then eliminate the interfering numbers, and then substitute the formula into it, so that... the answer is B."

The gazes of Wan Qing and Ye Chen were dull.

"Huh? Don't you understand?"

"Not really..." Wan Qing nodded honestly.

"I understand a little bit." Ye Chen swallowed with difficulty.

"Is this a basic question? Well, let me think about it, so let's start from here..."

Zhao Jinyu lowered the difficulty step by step, and finally found a place they didn't know at first.

However, this is actually the content of the next volume.

So she explained it all over again, almost like a new lesson.

"So that's it!" Wan Qing felt a sudden enlightenment, "It's very simple!"

"Really!" Zhao Jinyu was not impatient at all, but rather happy, "I understand now?"

"understood!"

"Understood." Ye Chen scratched his cheeks, and even made an analogy for the similar question below, "This question is A, right?"

"That's right." Zhao Jinyu walked into the kitchen, opened the mini refrigerator that was only half the size of Ye Chen's family refrigerator, and let the air-conditioning blow his face, "Would you like to drink Sprite, Coke, Fanta, or——coffee?" ?”

"Drink, drink water, right? Drinking drinks is too extravagant..."

In this day and age, it costs [-] cents a bottle to drink glass bottles of Coke in the store, but the canned ones are more expensive, costing [-] yuan a bottle.

Even if you just drink a can every day, you will have to pay 30 yuan.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, it is a proper luxury.

"It's okay, I didn't eat at your house just now."

"You only ate a little..." Ye Chen has already begun to doubt her family background. Parents must be officials if they are not in business, right?

Moreover, in this era, domestic business has not been fully liberalized, and it is basically controlled by state-owned enterprises, so individuals basically do business abroad, earn those foreign currencies and then exchange them into RMB to spend in China.

"Then drink Coca-Cola?"

"I want Fanta." Wan Qing was not polite, although she also knew that the drinks were not cheap at this time, but after all, she had already gotten used to drinking them in the future, as long as she was working in the city, almost no one could not afford to drink Coke .

This is the cheapest drink that can make people feel happy.

Once some concepts are formed, it is not easy to change them back.

"Okay~" Zhao Jinyu held three cans of drinks, closed the refrigerator door with his arm, and walked over quickly.

At this time, the cans were strong aluminum alloy cans, and they were the most valuable kind when selling scrap products.

There is a layer of hoarfrost on the metal tank, even just looking at it feels cool.

Wan Qing deftly pulled the tab and took a big gulp into her mouth.

This familiar taste seems to have remained unchanged, and time seems to be frozen on it.

Ye Chen took a small sip cautiously, as if tasting something delicious, as if it would be a waste to drink too much.

"You guys keep writing first, I think your math needs to be improved from the basics - shall I give you some questions tomorrow?"

"Won't that take up your time?" Wan Qing actually wanted nothing more than she wanted, but she was still polite, and the smile on her face seemed somewhat hypocritical at this moment.

"It's okay, it's also a consolidation and review for me."

"Thank you so much."

"It's the happiest thing to study together and make progress together." Zhao Jinyu held the iced coffee can and took a sip, "Huhu, how are your other subjects? I can help you with tutoring if you have weak points."

"Uh..." The expression on Ye Chen's face froze.

"I have no problem with English, but he is not good at any of them."

"……cough!!"

"There's still time, one year." Zhao Jinyu cheered them on, "By the way, I happen to have a few grammar problems, wait... I'll find my homework book..."

Although Wan Qing has never taken the English certificate test, her self-study level is not low. In the era when many games were harmonized, or many books were not Chinese, she could understand it directly by reading English, and it was very fluent. That kind of—reading speed is as fast as reading Chinese.

Although the grammatical problem is a bit confusing, she can explain it clearly with just a little thought.

"Oh~ I didn't understand why this is this before. I basically memorized it by rote."

"That's good, at least I have some English to help you."

"Well, let's help each other out."

Ye Chen scratched his cheek, he was not able to do a single subject, he felt that he was completely an outsider now.

"Come on, kid. When Zhao Jinyu doesn't have time, I'll tutor you in English."

"God...why didn't I study hard when I was a freshman in high school——"

"You should think about why you didn't study hard in the second and third grades of junior high school. Otherwise, you wouldn't be unable to keep up with various foundations because you just barely got into high school, and you wouldn't be able to learn at all as a result."

Ye Chen lowered his voice: "Why don't you try to travel to an earlier time and torment the younger me?"

"Stop being glib, don't waste time, write quickly."

"You don't have to write until after ten o'clock today, do you?"

"The third year of high school is only one year, what else do you want if you don't work hard?"

"Ah, my good eight hours of sleep... gone!"

"Six or seven hours of sleep is almost enough."

"No, I want eight hours of sleep—"

"If you continue to waste time, you will definitely lose seven hours of sleep, and I don't know if you can get six hours of sleep."

Ye Chen shut his mouth immediately and began to write the topic hard.

——Although his thinking can only come up with a wrong answer most of the time.

But the atmosphere of everyone working hard together still allows him to maintain his patience for a longer time.

Don't think that you will be interested in learning immediately today, that is simply a fantasy.

Wan Qing is thankful for being able to re-establish good study habits in a month - she is not worried about Ye Chen, but doubts that she may not be able to persist...

25. Projector lamp

The environment has a huge impact on people.

Moreover, even if a person is in the same environment sometimes, if he or she is in a different social position, the impact he will receive will be different.

Probably because of Zhao Jinyu, the study atmosphere was much more intense than usual, and the concentration that was unsustainable for two hours finally had a breakthrough today.

From seven o'clock until 10:30, neither of them even stood up.

The questions that could not be finished in seven or eight hours were actually written in one go-no matter what the accuracy rate is, but in short, it is finished.

Concentrating on completing the things to be done without any pause in the middle will not only save time, but also feel very enjoyable.

And Wan Qing felt the strongest. In that era of fragmentation, it had been a long, long time since she watched a whole movie without fast-forwarding, let alone sitting at a desk writing questions for such a long time.

Zhao Jinyu had already finished his homework, and during this time he was doing extra exercises and teaching them some things they didn't understand.

"Damn—it's finished!" Ye Chen slapped the fountain pen violently, and stretched his waist as if he had done a hearty exercise, "Huh—is it twelve o'clock?"

Zhao Jinyu raised his wrist and glanced at his loosely worn watch: "Oh, 10:30."

"It's still... relatively early? After all, I don't understand a lot of things."

"It's really early." This time is really early for Wan Qing. She used to work in the city, even if she had to go out at seven o'clock, she would never go to sleep until twelve o'clock—— And it's early to bed at twelve o'clock.

The information in the future world is complicated, and there are too many ways to entertain, and the working hours are so long that everyone who returns home can't help but delay the time to go to bed.

Probably because only at that moment the time really belongs to me.

"Have you finished writing? Take a break?" Zhao Jinyu hadn't finished his coffee yet, so she picked it up and took another sip, "Do you want to... relax?"
