Chapter 13
Chapter 13
The temperature this summer seems to be extraordinarily high. Xu Keqin got up at six o'clock in the morning for a morning run. He could already feel the anxiety of the sun just after sunrise. After running around and eating breakfast, it was already eight o'clock.
Xu Keqin walked into the compound of the dormitory of the chemical plant and glanced upstairs. The door of Kang Ping’s house just opened. Kang Ping’s parents went out together. Xu Keqin didn’t rush upstairs and washed his hands under the faucet on the first floor. Kang Ping’s parents went downstairs Finally, he didn't care who was in the courtyard, and hurried out.
Xu Keqin figured out how Kang Ping's father looked at the house. The house was still in the renovation stage. Kang Ping's father usually went to work and had no time to go to the suburbs so far away. He took Kang Ping's mother out on time at eight o'clock in the morning on Wednesday and Saturday. The renovation progress of the house. As for why he didn't bring Kang Ping, it must be because Kang Ping's father was still angry because of Kang Ping's cheating and being caught. Kang Ping has been staying at home honestly recently.
Xu Keqin took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped off the water on his hands, and strode upstairs. When he got home, he took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Soon he heard a knock on the door, and Guo Xiao came.
Every morning at nine o'clock is the time for Xu Keqin to make up lessons for Guo Xiao.
Guo Xiao was not in good spirits. He fell asleep in the middle of the night last night. He was woken up by his uncle to buy beer, so he didn't sleep well.
Looking at Xu Keqin's dripping hair, Guo Xiao knew that Xu Keqin must have come back from a run. He really admired Xu Keqin. Even for such a trivial matter as running in the morning, Xu Keqin could be so persistent. In his memory, Xu Keqin insisted on for several years.
Guo Xiao was distracted looking at Xu Keqin's flushed cheeks. Just looking at Xu Keqin's appearance, it was like an egg that had been peeled off its shell, white and soft. Maybe he was somewhat stereotyped, but Guo Xiao felt that Xu Keqin There is no weakness, Xu Keqin's grades are so good, but he is different from ordinary nerds, he doesn't wear glasses.
"Xu Keqin, you are so good, you get up and run every day." Guo Xiao praised him sincerely.
Xu Keqin didn't speak, stretched out his hand, and asked Guo Xiao for the homework assigned yesterday.
Guo Xiao wasn't flattering Xu Keqin either, but Xu Keqin was unmoved by his own actions, he was somewhat flustered.
Guo Xiao is very clear that his progress is very slow, and he is an honest person who will not "cheat". The homework assigned to him by Xu Keqin is like an exam. He strictly demands himself and does not read any reference materials. That is correct. The rate can be imagined.
In addition, Xu Keqin left him homework for memorizing vocabulary yesterday, and he had to dictate this morning. Guo Xiao was under a lot of pressure, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do it well.
Sure enough, his homework and dictation were unsatisfactory. Xu Keqin looked at Guo Xiao's words, "More than half of the twenty words are wrong. You can't memorize things by rote?"
It’s just memorization by rote, without any skills, Guo Xiao doesn’t know whether he is too stupid, or his memory is too bad, he memorizes the next one and forgets the previous one.
Xu Keqin didn't even look at him, and continued: "There is no skill in memorizing things by rote, and the learning methods are summed up by people who have achieved success in learning. For people like you who have never studied, there is no reference value. Memories are your only recourse."
Xu Keqin was stricter than the teacher, so Guo Xiao would only be more nervous when facing Xu Keqin. Xu Keqin never spoke politely. Even if Guo Xiao felt hurt, he just listened obediently.
"Guo Xiao, don't waste your time and mine."
After confirming the time for Kang Ping's parents to see the house, Xu Keqin also made an appointment with his father on Saturday morning.
Xu Zhenli specially set aside time on Saturday to accompany Xu Keqin to look at the house, and casually cared about Xu Keqin's grades, "How did you do in the final exam?"
The grades haven't come down yet, but Xu Keqin knew it in his heart, "Same as usual."
As usual, he has not regressed, and he is fully confident that he will still be the first in the school. Xu Zhenli is very pleased, "I knew that you will not let Dad down. If you want any reward, tell Dad."
Xu Keqin is not content, he knows how to maximize the reward pool his father gave him, "At my current age, it is already a luxury for my father to buy me a house, and I don't need other rewards."
Xu Zhenli didn't force it, the car just entered the range of Jingshan Mountain, and the staff of the sales department had been waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.
The car stopped on the side of the road, the rear window slowly fell, the staff did not rush into the car, and greeted Xu Zhenli attentively, "Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Xiao Yang, and today I will introduce Jingshan to you House of."
Because Xu Keqin has no requirements for the house, and Xu Zhenli doesn't want to make decisions for his son without authorization. He can't control the preferences of the guests, so there is not much pressure on Xiao Yang. After all, people like Xu Zhenli bring their son to see the house in person. Buying a house is a certainty, and the foreseeable commission is enough to make Xiao Yang full of energy.
But after looking around the room, Xu Keqin's expression was very flat, even a little casual, and Xiao Yang really couldn't tell which set he was satisfied with.
Until the car stopped at the landmark building in Jingshan, next to the antelope sculpture, Xu Keqin leaned on the car and watched the middle-aged couple coming out of a row of low-rise buildings. His mobile phone turned on the video mode, and the camera slowly moved from the building to the middle-aged couple. The couple finally stopped on the low floor next to them.
"It's the first time I've been here, and I can see antelope sculptures here."
Xu Keqin's tone was neither salty nor weak, but this was the first sentence he said. Xiao Yang grasped the topic, "You can indeed see the antelope sculpture here, but the view is not as good as the few houses you just saw. They're all low-rise."
Xu Keqin tilted his head and looked at the lower floor, showing a look of interest in Xiao Yang's topic, "Really? That house is under renovation."
The difference between the house under renovation and the clean water room and the completed house can be seen from the balcony.
Sitting in the co-pilot, Xiao Yang saw the house Xu Keqin was talking about at a glance.
Jingshan is a real estate developed by Chuangjian, which focuses on real estate in rich areas. Xiao Yang is working at Chuangjian. He not only has a sharp eye, but also has an excellent memory. He wanted to say a few more words to Xu Keqin, he was really afraid that Xu Keqin would take a fancy to the low-rise houses.
"Yes, the couple who just went out are the owners of that house. Jingshan also has houses with a slightly more affordable price, that is, this low-rise area, but it is not at the same level as the ones I just saw."
Xiao Yang’s “close to the people” is compared with other housing prices in Jingshan, the cheapest low-rise here, the price is also handsome, and other locations are several blocks away. Why should Kang Ping buy it?
"Oh, that's it. Xu Keqin's tone was casual, as if he quickly lost interest in the low-rise in front of him.
Xiao Yang also secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately Xu Keqin was willing to listen to persuasion.
In the end, Xu Keqin listened to his father's advice. After the house was confirmed, Xu Keqin accompanied his father to have a meal. His father sent him to the alley of the dormitory of the chemical factory, and then left.
Xu Keqin put the photos and anonymous letter in his hand into the suggestion box. The next thing is beyond his control, he just needs to wait.
After being lectured by Xu Keqin last time, Guo Xiao worked hard again. The English words made up of 26 letters, he remembers eating, remembers going to the bathroom, remembers walking, and even sleeps, wishing to be silent again. As Xu Keqin said, repeated memory has a remarkable effect.
Memorizing words is not a matter of completing today’s memorized content. It is necessary to memorize new content and then consolidate previous content. More and more words need to be memorized. Although Guo Xiao is struggling to memorize, the accuracy rate is gradually increasing.
After Xu Keqin corrected today's dictation, he said, "Your brain is quite suitable for this kind of mechanical memory."
Mechanical memory is the most stupid way, repeating it over and over again until a habitual response is formed in the brain.
Guo Xiao was really stupid, he couldn't hear the joke in Xu Keqin's words, and he thought Xu Keqin was praising him, and rubbed his head embarrassingly.
In the current weather, even the house is like a steamer, and Xu Keqin doesn't like to turn on electric fans, but he can bear it, and Guo Xiao suffers.
Studying took a lot of brain and energy, Guo Xiao sat for a while and was sweating profusely, with a layer of sweat on the tip of his nose.
Xu Keqin was also hot, hesitating repeatedly between turning on the air conditioner and eating ice, and finally he chose to eat ice.
He told Guo Xiao, "Go and buy ice."
"Ah?" Guo Xiao swallowed subconsciously when he heard "Bing", "Aren't you going to learn something else today?"
Xu Keqin casually found a reason, "Didn't you take dictation very well today? We'll talk about it after we buy it."
If it wasn't for the embarrassment to speak, Guo Xiao would have been unable to stand the sweltering weather. He took the money and ran towards the shop at the entrance of the alley. He was afraid that the ice would melt, so he would run faster when he came back, but he hadn't stepped into the factory compound yet. , he gradually slowed down.
Not far away, Kang Ping stood at the iron gate of the courtyard with a few children of the same age in the courtyard, looking straight at him.
Kang Ping, who had been honest at home for a long time, really couldn't bear the life of this prisoner. Just now his father answered the phone and went out in a hurry.
Isn't this the narrow road to Yuanjia?I was locked up at home thanks to Guo Xiao, if I didn't take advantage of this time to settle accounts with Guo Xiao, when would I wait?
Kang Ping made a gesture of hooking his fingers towards Guo Xiao. Guo Xiao, a coward, not only didn't dare to go forward, but even tried to run away.
There were other people watching, Kang Ping couldn't lose face in front of others, he came up angrily, and threatened: "Go and try!"
After finishing speaking, he angrily dragged Guo Xiao into the iron gate.
Guo Xiao was afraid that he would damage the ice cream, so he put the bag on his chest. Kang Ping became angry when he saw his actions, and tore the bag to pieces. The ice cream fell to the ground. Lift your foot to crush the ice cream on the ground.
"You..." Guo Xiao dared to be angry and dare not speak out, he was explaining to Xu Keqin like this.
"Eat? Eat you bastard!" Kang Ping punched Guo Xiao in the face, and the children onlookers booed.
Guo Xiao took a few steps back, and when Kang Ping came towards him again, he instinctively stretched out his hand to defend himself.
"Hey?" Kang Ping clenched his fists.
Before the dense fists fell, a cold voice sounded, "Fight back."
Kang Ping stopped, and Guo Xiao was also stunned. He looked up and looked upstairs. Xu Keqin dragged his cheeks and leaned against the railing, and repeated, "Fight back."
