I am a scholar

In third grade, they learn about fractions, geometry, and statistics for the first time.

Parents have also begun to pay attention to English, buying all kinds of wonderful learning tools, hoping to have a shortcut to let their children go.

Actually—

There are no shortcuts in life.

Kid Nick is still a member of their Xueba class, and he still doesn't give up on Dudu, but Dudu has gradually moved away from him after education.

Ding Ling was very proud of himself, but in an English test, he was crushed by a round when he was obviously good--No.1 Chen Muxi, No.2 Tongtong, No.3 Nick...

Nick was able to get No.3 in the test because his Chinese is not very good, and there are mistakes in Chinese-English translation.

As for No.1 Chen Muxi, who would look at him? He has occupied No.1 since he was in school, and he has never fallen behind. Even Tong Tong will make mistakes in the quiz.

Ding Ling was not reconciled to his grades, especially when he lost to Nick. He was very unconvinced, so he made up his mind to study hard, memorized vocabulary every day, took a small note to memorize during lunch, and secretly squatted in the corridor while sleeping In the second exam, he successfully rose to the rank.

It's just that it still hasn't surpassed Nick, and Nick turned out to be No.1 in this test.

What about Chen Muxi?

Ding Ling looked for the name on the report card, and found Chen Muxi at No.15.

This fact almost made Ding Ling vomit blood, and Chen Muxi just came back from the English teacher's office, he was a little depressed, Ding Ling saw him, and wanted to ask him why he got so low in the exam and made Nick the No.1.

But...Chen Muxi must be very disappointed now, it is the first time that she did so poorly in the exam.

Chen Muxi is in a bad mood right now, but it's not because of grades.

Tongtong who knew the news hurried over and asked Chen Muxi what was going on.

The little friend's concern made him feel healed, and then he said miserably: "Lisa found me a job as a translator."

"Work?!" Tongtong was stunned, why did Chen Muxi work?

Chen Muxi said: "I took the translator secretly on the day of the exam, but I underestimated the material, it took a little longer, and I didn't finish the English paper in time."

Tongtong said after a while, "Xiaoxi is so amazing."

"Lisa won't let me translate when she sees that her grades have dropped." Chen Muxi was a little annoyed. It's just a quiz, so do you need to be so serious?

Tongtong silently didn't know how to comfort Chen Muxi.

Chen Muxi sighed suddenly, and murmured: "It would be convenient if there is a computer, and I don't have to rush to write by hand."

Tong Tong's eyes flickered when he heard this sentence.

On that week's rest day, Tongtong suddenly went out, leaving Chen Muxi alone at school, Chen Muxi, who had nothing to do, felt very bored.Finally Tongtong came back, carrying a very big bag, with a happy smile on his face.

"Xiaoxi." Tongtong said with flickering eyes, "This is a computer for you."

Unzipping the bag, there was a silver-gray laptop inside, Chen Muxi trembling, said: "This..."

How do you say that when you buy a computer, you really buy it?

Chen Muxi looked at Tongtong and said seriously: "Tongtong, our school is not connected to the Internet, and the dormitory also has no electricity."

Tongtong patted him on the shoulder and said, "This can be charged by sunlight. You can try it. If he lied to me, I will return it."

Solar charging?Chen Muxi touched the cold touch of the computer, and then took it out. There is a power supply in the bag that can be taken out to charge.

Tongtong took out a rectangular thing that looked like a USB flash drive, and said, "This is the network card I asked them to get. You can work without spending too much time in the future, and you can check information online if you have any difficulties."

Ready for this too?

How much did you spend today, Tongtong?

Chen Muxi felt that the computer was a bit heavy.

"Tongtong," Chen Muxi said with tears in her eyes, "tell me the truth, do you still have money to buy snacks in the future?"

"Yes." Tongtong hugged him and said with a smile, "If not, I can borrow it from you."

Chen Muxi nodded.

Don't talk about borrowing, the little friend is so kind to him, even if it's free money.

In the end, he still took the computer, and planned to earn a little more money from Lisa, and then return the money to Tongtong.

Even though he had already planned this way, Chen Muxi was still very precious to his laptop. The little bucket in the dormitory wanted to use the computer to watch "Hi Baa Baa and Hui Aoao" but he didn't agree, so he bought a special lock to lock the computer.

Chen Muxi looked at the shiny lock, feeling extremely satisfied.

Anyone who dares to touch the computer that Tongtong gave him will be killed!

In the fourth grade, the learning tasks suddenly increased. Although it seems that there is not much difference from before, the atmosphere of learning in the classroom is stronger.

Chen Muxi is also busy. He is not only helping Lisa with the translation work, but also learning German.

Because German translation income is also very considerable.

Tong Tong prefers to watch news and documentaries, he acts like a little old man all day long, insisting on watching if he doesn't understand, so Chen Muxi despises him.

At the end of the term, after the exam, Tongtong also wants to find a job, but where can a ten-year-old child find a job?Chen Muxi's translations are all signed by Lisa to make money. What can he do?

So Tongtong asked his parents for help for the first time.

Secretary Tong has reached a critical moment in his official career, but with the support of his family's red background, he is not under great pressure, and he will definitely take care of his son's affairs when he finds out.No matter what, he directly rejected Tongtong's idea of ​​making money.

Gu Jiani smiled and said that her son was sensible, and then gave Tongtong advice: "Why don't you wash the dishes for mom, and I'll give you ten yuan for washing one dish, okay?"

"I'm serious." Tongtong said sullenly.

"Isn't mom serious?" Gu Jiani felt wronged.

Tongtong thought for a while and said, "Xiaoxi has already started earning money, why can't I?"

Gu Jiani smiled and asked, "How much does he earn, and did he buy you toys?"

"...He bought a Gundam model for Xiao Tong and a tablet computer for me." Tong Tong said.

"Tablet computer?!" Gu Jiani and Secretary Tong were surprised this time.

Tongtong reminded: "The model of Gundam is twice as expensive as the tablet."

Gu Jiani asked: "A tablet is also a model?"

"..." Tongtong simply showed the things to Gu Jiani and Secretary Tong, and said, "Because I like watching documentaries, Xiaoxi bought this for me."

Although Xiaoxi dislikes his hobbies, this tablet also shows his support!

"What kind of work has he been doing? How much money has he made?" Secretary Tong couldn't help but believe that he had everything, so he asked curiously.

"He made a lot of money as an interpreter for Teacher Lisa, and with his own savings, he could buy a car!" Tongtong said.

Obviously the two started from the same starting point, Chen Muxi is younger, and now he is the one who is lagging behind.

So he wants to work and earn money.

With a lot of money, he can buy a house and only live in him and Xiaoxi.

"He can buy a car after working for a month?" Secretary Tong expressed his disbelief, and speculated for his son: "Your teacher Lisa must be a liar."

Tongtong looked at his father with contempt, a secretary would make such a guess, but he still explained: "Xiaoxi has been working for a year, and he has been translating since the third grade."

Immediately, the couple really felt that Chen Muxi was an amazing child.

Secretary Tong smiled and said, "So you think you have to work to earn money, right?"

Tongtong nodded as if smashing garlic, gave a urging look, and his attitude was very firm.

Secretary Tong stood up and took a few steps, then stopped and asked, "How is your English?"

"Very good." Tongtong said.

He will not be humble at critical moments.

Secretary Tong said, "Then how about I take you to the primary school in the military area tomorrow and give English lessons to the children there?"

There are also elementary schools in the military region, but it is difficult for teachers to subdue these children who have been in the army with their parents since childhood, and their parents have no time to educate them, especially these children are pure and extreme in their thinking and discriminate against Chinese who learn English.

Their English class has been vacant for several weeks, and they couldn't find a suitable teacher. Since Tongtong wants to make money, he must prove that he has the ability to make money. Let him try this opportunity. If he persists, it shows that this child is tenacious. Strong, flexible mind, if he backs off, it means that he knows the difficulties, and beat him by the way, not everyone is Chen Muxi.

So the next day, Teacher Tongtong went to the primary school in the military region and became a temporary English teacher.
