Chapter 22: The mother who came to find her daughter (Part 1)

Lin Qingyin ate something near the school and took the bus to go to the public park. When she got off the bus, she met Jiang Wei after walking a few steps. Jiang Wei was so happy when he saw Lin Qingyin’s sorrowful look, he leaned over and gloated at her: “How is the exam today?”

“Not that good!” Lin Qingyin said in a gloomy tone: “The teacher won’t let me use the tortoiseshell to calculate the answer. I can only rely on my intuition to answer the questions and delay things.”

Jiang Wei almost spurted out the Coke from his mouth: “You are the top 1 in the high school entrance examination. How can you think of using the tortoiseshell in the exam? You should be thankful that your teacher didn’t throw you out of the classroom.”

Lin Qingyin squinted her eyes at him but didn’t speak. Jiang Wei touched his nose and said: “I will help you make up your lessons. I’ll make sure that you will be able to keep up with your studies in the shortest time.”

“Actually, what I worry about most is English.” Lin Qingyin gave a follow-up remark to Jiang Wei’s words: “Not only I get a headache when I look at it, but I also don’t know how to speak nor write an essay.”

“Is your English so bad?” Jiang Wei scratched his head in a puzzled way: “You speak like you are bad at everything, so how did you become the Top 1 in the entrance exam? Is it all based on intuition?”

“Of course not!” Lin Qingyin glared at him: “At that time, I had real talents, but…” Lin Qingyin said half-heartedly: “I didn’t get a good exam at the end of last semester. I was so angry that I jumped into the river. After the police rescued me, I forgot everything that I learned.”

Jiang Wei was dumbfounded when he heard it: “Little Master, you have such a big temper!”

“Don’t say useless stuff.” Lin Qingyin asked directly: “What should I do with my English? In fact, I don’t ask much. I can answer all the multiple-choice questions by intuition. But I don’t know how to deal with the latter part. What should I do?”

Can answer all the multiple-choice questions by intuition?!!!

Jiang Wei felt that this sentence was simply harmed to all students! Even if he was a top student, he used to memorize the English-Chinese dictionary.

“I think you have to memorize the dictionary first.” Jiang Wei said with a serious face, but he didn’t look at Lin Qingyin’s eyes: “The Oxford English-Chinese Dictionary is good. You will what each word means, won’t writing an essay will be easy by then?”

Lin Qingyin took a glance at Jiang Wei. She always felt that there was a gleeful smile under his serious expression.

“You have to memorize the word. The more you memorize, the more types of sentences you can master. When you write the essay, you can write simple sentences to fill it out.”

“Another problem is how to write it, but this matter is not very important.”

Although these methods sound feasible, but… …

“I can’t memorize it!” Lin Qingyin looked innocent: “I don’t even know how to pronounce those words!”

Jiang Wei suddenly felt his head was big. Does it mean he has to start teaching her from phonetic alphabets?

“Then, it’s impossible. You should go to Xindongfang College to study. They have professionals in this field.”

Lin Qingyin’s eyes suddenly lit up. Isn’t her dream coming true too soon?

Jiang Wei didn’t notice her expression: “Are you going to study every night or every Sunday? You can decide on your schedule.”

Lin Qingyin swallowed mouthful saliva and said: “Every Sunday, I can eat more during the day.”

Jiang Wei didn’t understand the meaning of Lin Qingyin’s words. Is she afraid that she would be hungry if she studied at night?

The two continue talking until they arrived at the gate of the public park. Fatty Wang had been waiting there. So when he saw Lin Qingyin, he happily ran over: “Little Master, today, the first customer is a jumper. Maybe there is other extra money to earn.”

Lin Qingyin felt that this was the second good news she heard today besides going to Xindongfang College.

Jiang Wei had to buy groceries before going home. So he left after saying goodbye to the two. Lin Qingyin didn’t go under the old tree this time. There was no light in that place at night.

There were many small pavilions in the public park for the people to enjoy and have a good rest. Lin Qingyin has been familiar with the public park after coming here for several times. She directly chose an octagonal pavilion by the lake that was closer to the ancient trees.

In the octagonal pavilion, there were separate illuminated lamps and stone tables and chairs, which was relatively convenient.

After the two entered the pavilion, Fatty Wang sent the venue to the group page. In fear that some elderly people wouldn’t be able to understand it, he took a few pictures of nearby scenery and sent them to the group.

Lin Qingyin took out some stones and start arranging an array around the pavilion. After that, the temperature became suitable even the night comes. Not to mention, there may be many mosquitoes in this place where water is near. This array not only can block the wind but also the mosquitoes.

Before everyone came, Fatty Wang and Lin Qingyin discussed major career issues: “Little Master, the autumn season is coming in, it will be cold after 2 months. It will be a big problem to set up a stall in the park, why don’t we open a small shop?”

Lin Qingyin suddenly thought that she only has 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in her pocket, so she was a little worried: “How much money do I need to spend? I let my mother use the 200,000 yuan to open a shop, I don’t have much money left in my hands.”

Fatty Wang pondered: “I have a house on the second floor along the street. Because the water and electricity bills are more expensive in the commercial area, the tenants don’t want to renew their contracts when they expire. If you want to open the shop there, you only need to register on the industrial and commercial registration. As for the money, it doesn’t matter. The house is small and facing the street, it only costs 2 to 3 thousand yuan per month, which is something not enough for me to worry about.”

  1. “I didn’t get a good exam at the end of last semester. I was so angry that I jumped into the river. After the police rescued me, I forgot everything that I learned.”

    This would be the funniest excuse that I’ve heard yet if it weren’t so sad too.

  2. Hmm. I saw this was tagged as a slow romance, and so far JW is the only viable candidate for ML. He IS supposed to have great fortune, so maybe marrying a master will be part of that?
