Chapter 88： Do the questions

Chapter 88 Questions

“First cousin, as long as you promise me to study hard with me, Tiantian will definitely find a way to improve your and second cousin’s grades!”

Pei Tiantian blinked her grape eyes and looked at him pleadingly.

Pei Zihao was a little reluctant. He didn't want to study at all. He couldn't understand those books.

However, he saw Pei Tianyu and Pei Tiantian staring at him, as if he would not give up until he agreed.

He reluctantly said: "Then... let's try it."

After successfully convincing the two people, Pei Tiantian finally felt a little relieved.

As long as they are willing, she will find a way to make up for their achievements.

Pei Tiantian was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something, "First cousin and second cousin, you can keep the five hundred yuan for yourselves. I don't need a gift."

Pei Tiantian thought that Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu wanted to buy her a gift, just a doll or something.

She is not really a five-year-old child, so there is no need to buy so many dolls, so why waste the money.

“No, this is the money we earn specifically for you, so we have to spend it on you.”

Pei Tiantian was helpless, "If my brothers insist on buying me something, then buy me tutoring books for grades one to six."

Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu nodded.

They thought Pei Tiantian was using it for their own study.

I never thought that this set of guidance books would eventually be used on them.

Early the next morning, Pei Zhiwen took Pei Tiantian and others to school.

Pei Zhiqiang was the last to go out, preparing to go out to work in the fields with a hoe. As soon as he came down from the dam at home, he bumped into a strange man, wearing a black coat, black-rimmed glasses, and carrying a suitcase in his hand.

I saw the strange man looking nearby, with a bit of confusion on his face.

Pei Zhiqiang knew from the look of his dress that he was not from the village. He said, "Brother, are you looking for someone?"

The man turned his head and said, "Yes, do you know where Mr. Pei Zhiwen lives?"

“What do you want from my elder brother?”

“Pei Zhiwen is your eldest brother?” The man smiled, “Great, is your eldest brother at home now? I want to meet him.”

Pei Zhiqiang shook his head and wondered if this person came to see his elder brother for something urgent.

So he said: "My eldest brother has gone to work in the town and will not come back until evening. Brother, please come home with me and wait."

“Then I’ll trouble you,” the man said.

"fine."

Pei Zhiqiang took the man back home.

The two of them chatted for a while on the way.

Pei Zhiqiang then realized that this man was none other than Xing Weigang, the editor-in-chief of Story Collection.

This is the magazine where Pei Tiantian contributed.

Xing Weigang was very generous in his conversation and behavior, and Pei Zhiqiang couldn't help but feel a little more fond of him.

However, he still wondered why Xing Weigang came to see them in person.

“Is there something wrong with the manuscript?”

“There’s nothing wrong with the manuscript, it’s very good. I just want to see Mr. Pei Zhiwen and talk to him.”

Pei Zhiqiang was a little confused, and then suddenly smiled, "Editor Xing, you may be mistaken. The manuscript was not written by my eldest brother."

Xing Weigang didn't seem to think about it, "No? I saw that the sender was Pei Zhiwen. Could it be that the anonymous contributor was not him?"

"That's not true. Anonymous is the pen name of my little niece Pei Tiantian. She is still a student. My eldest brother just helped her send it to the magazine."

“I see, it seems I misunderstood.”

Xing Weigang nodded.

I didn’t expect that Anonymous was still just a student.

In an instant, the image of a teenage middle school student emerged in Xing Weigang's mind.

This also made Xing Weigang's desire to see Pei Tiantian even more urgent.

He was very curious as to how Pei Tiantian, a student, knew so many strange things and wrote them in novels.

Pei Tiantian didn’t know that Xing Weigang had gone directly to her home to find her.

At this time, she was looking through the papers that Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu had done before, and planned to formulate a special transformation plan for poor students based on their weaknesses.

Pei Tiantian read all their papers and found that they couldn't solve many of the questions. It wasn't because they didn't know how to do it, but because they didn't understand the questions at all. In the final analysis, it was a matter of understanding.

There are two consecutive periods of math class in the morning.

After Ma Xiangdong finished talking about the questions above, he now assigned a few math questions for everyone to do.

Then I patrol the class with my hands behind my back to see how everyone is doing.

Walking around the classroom, I saw that everyone had a good grasp of this knowledge point, so Ma Xiangdong wrote an extended math problem on the blackboard.

Pei Tiantian looked up and saw that it was a primary school math olympiad problem about tree planting.

“This is a famous elementary school math Olympiad question. Do any students want to challenge it?”

The first one to raise his hand was Ding Qiang. He stepped forward and counted on the blackboard confidently, and he came up with 80 trees.

After finishing writing, as soon as he put down the chalk, Ding Qiang waited for Ma Xiangdong to praise him.

After all, most people have never seen this kind of Mathematical Olympiad problem.

He has learned it specially and will never do it wrong.

“Ding Qiang, please go down.”

Ding Qiang: "?"

Unexpected praise, Ding Qiang returned to his seat with some confusion.

Ma Xiangdong spoke again: "Is there anyone else willing to come up and do the questions?"

“Brother Gu Rong, go ahead.”

Pei Tiantian saw that Gu Rong had already calculated the correct answer in his notebook, so she urged him to come up.

Ma Xiangdong also heard the sound and smiled, "Then let's get Mr. Gu Rong to come up and do it."

Gu Rong went up and wrote a line of formulas, and then got the answer, which was 160 trees.

Ma Xiangdong showed a satisfied smile: "Yes, the correct answer is 160 trees. Student Gu Rong is very smart."

The eyes of the classmates looking at Gu Rong changed, and chirping sounds rang out.

“Wow, the monitor got the question right when he got it wrong!”

“No wonder people can skip a grade at the age of nine.”

“I didn’t expect it! There are people who are better at math than the monitor.”

Of course, there are also sour voices: "What's wrong if you do the right thing? You're not a mute!"

Obviously everyone in the class knows now that Gu Rong doesn't like to talk, he just can't talk at all.

Gu Rong had no expression from beginning to end, as if the person everyone was talking about was not him at all.

Ding Qiang was startled, and his face turned red instantly.

He did something wrong?

This is impossible!

Ma Xiangdong frowned and shouted "Quiet", signaling everyone to stop talking. Then he looked at Ding Qiang and said, "Ding Qiang, do you know why you did it wrong? Look at what my question says, you are It’s not that you haven’t noticed that trees need to be planted on both sides, but you only counted one side, so the answer is wrong.”

“So, sometimes students may not be able to get the questions right even if they do the questions. They have to read the questions carefully. If you read less or miss the questions, you will not get points.”
