60s: I have a store

Chapter 65 Teacher Wang
Cheng Siguang nodded and hurried to the courtyard next door to find Teacher Wang.

Soon, Teacher Wang was invited over by Cheng Siguang.

In this year, if someone invites you to dinner, there is no reason not to go. One less mouth to feed means more food for other family members. For example, Mr. Wang has a low salary and several people in his family.

"Teacher Wang, long time no see!"

Looking at the thin old man in front of him wearing glasses, Zhou Yimin quickly stood up and moved a seat for Teacher Wang.

In my impression, this teacher Wang is not very noble, but he is not like the teacher Yan in a certain TV series who is greedy and would taste the saltiness of every manure truck passing by.

He will accept gifts from students, but he will never ask students' parents to give him gifts either openly or secretly.

A decent person.

Teacher Wang was very happy to see that it was Zhou Yimin.

Recently, he has been bragging to others that Zhou Yimin is his favorite student.

The news of Zhou Yimin appearing in the newspaper spread not only to their street, but also to several nearby streets! As a neighbor on the same street and Zhou Yimin's former teacher, Teacher Wang naturally had the capital to brag.

"It's Yimin! That's amazing. I read the report..."

Instead, Teacher Wang started chatting enthusiastically with Zhou Yimin.

"Ahem! Teacher Wang, these are my godsons Shengli and Shengyi. Shengli and Shengyi, call me Teacher Wang." Cheng Siguang interrupted while Teacher Wang was taking a breath.

Only then did Teacher Wang react.

People invited him to dinner for a reason.

"Hello, Teacher Wang!"

Teacher Wang smiled and nodded: "Yes! Good! You are Shengli? I heard from your godfather that you are good at math. Let me test you."

In fact, Mr. Wang felt that Cheng Siguang was just bragging and exaggerating on purpose so that his godson could get into school more easily. The school was indeed much more tolerant of talented people and some restrictions would be relaxed.

However, I was too embarrassed to point it out in front of others, so I prepared to ask two simple questions to save their face.

After all, he still had to eat at their place. He could already smell the aroma of roast duck, and it seemed like there was also lamb.

Gee!

Cheng Siguang really spent a lot of money to send his two godsons to school!

In the morning, Cheng Siguang sent him some "local specialties". Perhaps he felt it was not enough, so he treated him to a big dinner in the evening.

Is Mr. Wang that kind of person? Since he has accepted the gift, no matter how big or small it is, he will do his best to handle it.

It's the same with or without this meal.

When Cheng Siguang and Zhou Yimin heard Teacher Wang's questions, they both saw Teacher Wang's "good intentions". Cheng Siguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could they not give these questions that involved adding a few together?
"Teacher Wang, let's do some multiplication and division above two digits," Cheng Siguang suggested to him.

Who are you looking down on?

Teacher Wang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cheng Siguang, his eyes seemed to say: Are you serious? If you lose face later, don't say I'm making things difficult for you!

Zhou Yimin smiled and said, "Teacher Wang, this kid is really talented in mathematics. You can boldly ask questions that I have just tried."

Ok?
Zhou Yimin said so, and Teacher Wang was skeptical.

He adopted Cheng Siguang's suggestion and worked out a two-digit multiplication problem.

Shengli did not disappoint his godfather and gave the answer in just two or three seconds.

Teacher Wang was shocked.

"What about 234 times 481?"

He could do mental arithmetic on three-digit numbers, but much more slowly. This arithmetic problem happened to be on the last test paper, and he still remembered the answer.

"112554, right?" Shengli was a little unconfident.

Zhou Yimin saw it.

Although he could calculate correctly every time, there was still a question mark behind his victory. Teacher Wang was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, his mouth felt dry.

He turned to look at Cheng Siguang and asked, "Are you sure he has never been to school?"

This doesn't look like it!

"I studied for more than a year in the countryside, but was later delayed due to other things," Cheng Siguang corrected.

Teacher Wang didn't believe it and asked a few more questions, with an even more intense look of surprise on his face.

"Okay, okay! Come to school with me early tomorrow morning and go directly to the fourth grade." Teacher Wang said excitedly.

He would also feel proud to be able to recommend such a talented student to the school.

Moreover, Mr. Wang is currently teaching fourth grade, so naturally he has his own selfish motives. He hopes to teach Shengli so that he can loudly tell others in the future that this was his former student, just like Zhou Yimin now.

Cheng Siguang was satisfied.

This is exactly the result he wanted. He didn't want Shengli to continue studying step by step from the first or second grade.

That would waste too much time and the talent for victory.

"Teacher Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Teacher Wang waved his hands and said, "You're right! With Shengli's talent for math, he should be able to go to the fifth grade, but considering that he needs to keep up with other subjects and not be too biased, I suggest that he stay in the fourth grade for one year."

"Understood! I will follow your arrangements, Mr. Wang."

They chatted for about half an hour and the food was finally served.

Roast duck, stewed lamb, cabbage, and a pot of white rice.

Teacher Wang couldn't even have this meal during the Chinese New Year. This made him even more satisfied with Cheng Siguang's attitude of asking for help. Even if Shengli was an ordinary child, he would try his best to help.

Not to mention that he has such great talent, there is no reason for the school not to accept him, and they are even scrambling to get him.

"You look so thin. Come on, Shengli, eat more." Teacher Wang picked up some food for Shengli. His concern for him was no less than that for Cheng Siguang and the others, as if he were his son.

Cheng Siguang: “…”

Teacher Wang, you have crossed the line! You have taken my job.

He had no choice but to give it to Shengyi: "Shengyi, you eat too, eat more."

Huang Suqin called out to Zhou Yimin: "Yimin, don't be polite! Treat this like your own home."

Zhou Yimin laughed and said, "Aunt Huang, I don't even know how to write the word polite."

Teacher Wang testified: "That's right, you have been to my house to eat before."

Ugh! Is there such a thing?
This is awkward.

Going to the next door courtyard to eat? The original owner is also a talented person!

After eating and drinking, Zhou Yimin sat for a while and then saw Teacher Wang out.

When he was at the door of his house, Zhou Yimin thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Wang, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he went back to the house and took out a bottle of peanut oil, weighing about 2 kilograms.

Not to mention that this was the former teacher who taught the original owner, just because he asked the original owner to eat for free, it was reasonable for Zhou Yimin to give him something.

After thinking about it, I decided to just give some oil!
Nowadays, everyone desires oil and water. Teacher Wang's family may not be rich, but they should still be able to afford coarse grains, so it is more practical to give him peanut oil.

"Teacher Wang, please take this peanut oil back."

"If you want to give it to me, I will really take it!" Teacher Wang is not a shy person.

It was not the first time for him to accept gifts. He would accept gifts if given by others. He would only turn down gifts if he knew that the student's family was in financial difficulty. Otherwise, the principal could not stop him.
