Chapter 262: Chapter 262

Private Tutor (2)

“I, I today… today is the first time I came here…” Tao Tao was so nervous that she couldn’t speak without stuttering.

Jiang Xiaoman glanced at her and poured her a cup of tea, “Teacher, don’t be nervous. I don’t eat people.”

Tao Tao almost let out a sigh, and after drinking a sip of tea to hold back her nervousness, she felt a lot more comfortable.

The tea tasted strange, and it had a lot of broken crumbs.

“Xiaoman, right? From today, I will be your private tutor. No matter what questions you have, you can come and ask me.” Tao Tao showed her kindness as best as possible.

Jiang Xiaoman also nodded cleverly, “Okay, Teacher.”

“Then let’s get acquainted first? Let Teacher take a look at your foundations first.”

But Jiang Xiaoman did not seem very interested. After she made sure that there was nobody, she whispered to Tao Tao, “Teacher, can you promise me one thing first?”

The child was so smart and clever. It seemed that the child’s temper was not as terrifying as Jiang Xing said, she was just very lively.

Tao Tao smiled and said, “Of course.”

Jiang Xiaoman whispered, “The tea I gave you just now…”

“??” Tao Tao was shocked, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

What about the tea? Don’t say something and stop halfway! It’s very scary!

“The tea I gave Teacher to drink just now was made by secretly picking my grandma’s beloved chrysanthemums. Don’t tell anyone else.”

“…” Tao Tao hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, “Is this chrysanthemum from an expensive variety?”

“I don’t know, it was my grandma who was raised them by her own hands. They’re her dear favorites just like Fragrance. Last time I said I wanted to pick them, she said that she would hit me once for every flower I pick.”

Tao Tao couldn’t smile anymore.

Her stomach felt heavy, as if it weighed a thousand catties.

Jiang Xiaoman’s eyes were full of tears, “I didn’t dare to pick it until Teacher was here. Teacher, if you don’t say anything, no one will find out.”

“…Of course.” If she didn’t want others to know, then why did she tell her!?

Jiang Xiaoman just smiled, “Teacher, you are such a good person, let’s go study now.”

After speaking, she took the initiative to take Tao Tao’s hand and took her to the bedroom on the second floor.

When going up the stairs, Jiang Xiaoman asked her again, “Teacher, do you think the tea just now taste good?”

“It’s delicious, it’s very delicious. Teacher has never had such a delicious tea.”

Jiang Xiaoman scratched her head, feeling that there might be something wrong with her sense of taste, but she was embarrassed to say it, “But I think the taste is very ordinary, I would not have picked them if I knew it. Other things can be tried when they’re fresh, but for tea, if you use them fresh you can probably only cook a pot of thick green soup. Sigh, it has to be dried first after all. But we can’t say that either, the tea I brewed had soul.” Her tone was full of regret.

Tao Tao was dumbfounded, not knowing what expression to put on.

She suddenly understood Jiang Xiaoman’s grandma.

There was a small compartment in the bedroom, which was used as a study room. Jiang Xiaoman usually did her homework here.

Actually, there was just one small desk so it didn’t need to be partitioned. What really took space was a shelf filled with certificates and trophies.

They were arranged neatly in a row, and Tao Tao was a little startled when she entered.

For the first time, she realized what Jiang Xing meant by ‘she has never failed to get first place’.

It seemed that Xiaoman was really a very extraordinary child.

She was already so amazing, but she still wanted to get a tutor to improve. It really brought a smile to people’s faces.

Tao Tao smiled again, and asked her gently, “Xiaoman, your uncle said that you are very good and amazing in your studies. Let’s figure out your foundation first, then make a workplan based on the situation?”

“No need, Teacher. I just want to learn the content of the second semester of the first grade. I have previewed it myself, but I don’t understand some of the content without someone to explain it to me. ”

Tao Tao was really taken aback again, and then hesitated, “Shouldn’t we check your foundation first? Even if you have a solid foundation right now, you must not get too eager for success. Learning has to be done steadily step by step.”

Jiang Xiaoman was not stubborn either. She nodded and said, “Okay, Teacher. Please come and give me the questions.”

Tao Tao gave Jiang Xiaoman the questions from each subject that she had prepared, “Do it first, and when you are done, call me.”

According to her estimation, it would take about 3-4 hours to finish everything.

After glancing at the time, Tao Tao went to read a book by herself.

As a result, just two hours later, Jiang Xiaoman already held up the test paper. “Teacher, I finished.”

Mathematics, full score. Language, 98. English, full score. Geography, full score. Biology, full score. Politics1, full score.

Tao Tao: “…”

So Tao Tao followed Jiang Xiaoman’s request and prepared for her questions for the second semester.

They were all the very basic outlines. Very, very simplified, and the most important points had been underscored.

In fact, based on Jiang Xiaoman’s grades, Tao Tao felt that even if she didn’t help her, she would be able to understand it anyways, but she wanted her to boil it down to the most basic of the basics, and it was best if she treated it as if she was teaching an idiot.

Tao Tao followed her instructions.

Soon, Tao Tao’s materials were transferred to Sun Xiaojie and the others.

Jiang Xiaoman said, “Learn for as long as we live, there’s no end on the road of learning. There’s still a lot of questions waiting for you to do them.”
