Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

The two stocks selected by Zhang Yu are currently rising slowly, and it will take a few years to make money in a short period of time.

There are indeed ways to make money quickly, such as short-term trading, leveraging, or following major shareholders. However, none of these methods are suitable for Zhang Yu's current situation.

The main reason is that this type of operation is too sophisticated, and it is difficult to operate it with only 500,000 yuan in hand.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu had no desire to become extremely wealthy, so it was not difficult for him to earn some living expenses every month with a capital of 500,000 yuan.

Therefore, he divided the 500,000 into three parts, investing 200,000 in Xiaolong Auto and 200,000 in Ford Times. He firmly believed that in the next two or three years, these two stocks would rise sharply, and doubling the market value was not a problem, but a matter of time.

Zhang Yu did not keep the remaining 100,000 yuan, and bought all the stocks of another company, Wuwei Chemical. After an afternoon of research, Zhang Yu felt that this stock might have a chance to explode in the short term, so he decisively bought it.

Zhang Yu looked up detailed information about Wuwei Chemical on the Internet and analyzed the trading volume data for the past three months. He had a vague feeling that there was a market maker behind the scenes manipulating this stock.

Although he did not have foresight, his twenty years of investment career gave him a sharp eye, so he decided to give it a try with the ten thousand yuan. He would not feel too bad even if he lost it, and if he made a profit, he could expect to double his returns.

After buying the stocks, Zhang Yu had spent all of his 500,000 yuan. He looked at the clock and went to the market to buy some ingredients to prepare dinner. The morning before, he told Tian Yulan to ask Yan Ziyou's tutor Cai Juying to pick him up after school and promised to be responsible for cooking tonight.

For Zhang Yu, cooking is not a difficult task, but his wallet after returning from the vegetable market is as empty as a human face.

Zhang Yu came home with vegetables and saw Cai Juying and Yan Ziyou coming home. "Yan Peng, why did you come back early today?" Cai Juying asked in surprise when she saw Zhang Yu at home.

Zhang Yu responded casually: "I'm not too busy at work, so it doesn't matter if I come early or late." In fact, this was just an excuse he made up.

Then, he instructed Yan Ziyou: "Ziyou, there is no tutoring today, go and do your homework first. I will teach you how to do math problems." Hearing this, Yan Ziyou readily agreed.

Tian Yulan's previous strict education made Yan Ziyou develop good study habits and be very proactive. Then, Zhang Yu asked Cai Juying: "Mom, do you want to stay for dinner tonight? I also bought a big fish."

Cai Juying asked: "Can you do it?"

Yan Ziyou interrupted, "Dad's cooking is delicious."

Zhang Yu immediately corrected: "Concentrate on your homework." Hearing this, Yan Ziyu stuck out his tongue and buried his head in his homework again.

Afterwards, Zhang Yu took out the fish he had bought, and under the watchful eyes of Cai Juying, he skillfully scraped the scales and gutted it, with a smooth and flowing technique.

Seeing Zhang Yu's quick movements, Cai Juying was convinced by his cooking skills. "I won't stay here to eat tonight. Uncle Nan is still at home waiting for me to help him cook."

Zhang Yu frowned and said, "Mom, why don't I make some and you can bring it back to him."

However, Cai Juying refused: "Uncle Nan's stomach is not very good. Foods like fish must be freshly cooked. If they are cold and then reheated, the taste will be worse."

Zhang Yu realized that her mother's life was too focused on Nan Jianlong, which might be detrimental to her inner growth. Nan Jianlong's health problems also worried Zhang Yu.

The task prompt appeared: "Cai Juying's life seems to revolve around others. Try to help her find her independence. If the task is successful, you will be awarded 2 free attribute points, which is an unprecedented favor." Although Zhang Yu was worried that the task would become more difficult as the reward increased, the 2 attribute points were still exciting. After all, a week later, he had a deeper understanding of the world.

Yan Ziyu asked the school to conduct a baseline test on Friday, focusing on Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages.

Last week, Zhang Yu focused on helping Yan Ziyou improve his math skills, mainly by improving his basic knowledge and enhancing his problem-solving awareness, so that he could apply what he learned in real-life applications. Tian Yulan tried several times to get Yan Ziyou to do more exercises, but was stopped by Zhang Yu, which almost led to a quarrel between them. In the end, Zhang Yu gave in and allowed Yan Ziyou to do Chinese exercises, but he refused to give in to English and math. Tian Yulan had no choice but to compromise with both sides and found many Chinese exercises for Yan Ziyou.

Yan Ziyou's life is not too hard. Since the new semester has just started and the cram school has not yet started, the daily schoolwork is relatively light, and Zhang Yu intercepts the math and English homework, giving him more free time. In learning, he also pays attention to the combination of work and rest. Zhang Yu does not squeeze Yan Ziyou, but accompanies him to play football and let him enjoy a happy time. He hopes that he can rely on Zhang Yu to manage his studies in the future, away from the excessive interference of his mother Tian Yulan.

Tian Yulan had a very comfortable week. Because Zhang Yu began to share household affairs and Yan Ziyou's studies did not need to be worried about, Tian Yulan sometimes had nothing to do in the evenings and even started to watch TV dramas for entertainment. She had never dared to imagine such a peaceful life before!

However, when Yan Ziyou finished his exams on Friday, Tian Yulan immediately became anxious, worried that her son's grades were not good. Yan Ziyou was full of confidence after the exam, claiming that he performed well and completed all the questions. In fact, parents are afraid of hearing their children think they are good.

The stronger Yan Ziyou's confidence, the stronger Tian Yulan's sense of uneasiness. In the end, she didn't know how she got the test paper from Fengfan Primary School. Tian Yulan checked the test paper. The first part was normal, but her face suddenly became unusually serious after she saw the last two questions.

"Yan Peng, Yan Peng." Tian Yulan found Zhang Yu with the test paper. At this time, he was closely following the stock market trends.

Xiaolong Auto and Ford Times stocks are still normal, with little fluctuation and alternating ups and downs, without showing obvious changes. However, the share price of Wuwei Chemical fluctuates greatly and keeps falling. The 100,000 yuan invested by Zhang Yu may only be around 50,000 now. Faced with such a decline, Zhang Yu showed calmness. He saw signs of human manipulation in the daily trading volume and guessed that the sharp drop was caused by malicious selling. Some people have already sold, but Zhang Yu did not move. He believed that Wuwei Chemical would usher in major changes in the next two days.

"It's already this late, and you're still looking at stocks?" Tian Yulan came over excitedly with the test paper and slapped it in front of Zhang Yu's eyes. "Hurry up and take a look at those two questions. Are they beyond the scope of the syllabus?"

Zhang Yu turned off the computer, picked up the test paper, looked at it, and put it down again. "Indeed, the last two questions are a bit difficult. Ziyou rarely practices this kind of thing."

Tian Yulan pointed out anxiously: "These two questions are worth a lot of points, 7 points each. If you don't answer them, you may lose a lot of points."

Zhang Yu said lightly: "It's not that serious. Although the question is beyond the norm, Ziyou has never encountered similar questions before. In fact, it is still within the scope of understanding and trying, but the difficulty has increased."

Tian Yulan knew her son's weaknesses, and questions he had never done before would definitely affect his score. "No, I have to ask Ziyou."

Tian Yulan called Yan Ziyou and asked him, "Have you finished those two questions?" Yan Ziyou picked up the paper and answered easily, "I have done it!"

Tian Yulan couldn't believe it and said, "Show it to me again."

Yan Ziyou looked quite helpless and picked up the pen to repeat the answer. Since he had done it once before, he wrote very quickly. In just a few minutes, Yan Ziyou finished. Tian Yulan couldn't wait to compare, and her expression finally relaxed.

"Baby, you are great. You got both questions right." Tian Yulan happily praised the child. Yan Ziyou said modestly, "Dad has taught me this type of question before. Although it has changed a bit, it is not too complicated."

Then Tian Yulan turned to Zhang Yu and questioned: "How did you know the teacher would ask questions like this? Did you prepare in advance?"

Zhang Yu explained with a smile: "Do we still need to guess the question types in elementary school math?"

"Then how did you predict that the teacher would ask such a question?" Tian Yulan was puzzled.

"This is a reflection of mathematical thinking. As long as the basic knowledge is solid, any type of question can be based on the same principle. It's just the flexible application of several formulas." Zhang Yu said with ease.

However, Tian Yulan did not understand mathematical thinking and felt confused about this statement.

Zhang Yu patiently continued, "You usually send Ziyou to the Olympic Math Class mainly to improve her thinking ability. It may seem unrelated to the regular school classes, but it is actually very helpful, especially in junior high and high school, where there are many math problems and simply doing a lot of problems will not work."

"Could it be that what I did before was wrong?" Tian Yulan's tone revealed uncertainty.

"You can't say they are all wrong. The cultivation of mathematical thinking requires continuous training through solving problems, but it is not just about pursuing right or wrong. Sometimes it is more important to discover the flaws in thinking after making mistakes. There is no need to repeat the same type of problems over and over again."

Hearing this, Tian Yulan was still confused: "You obviously didn't do well in school in the past, how do you know so much?"

Zhang Yu took out a book from the bookshelf and handed it to her. On it was written "Advice to Teachers".

"I've been helping Ziyou with his homework recently, and I've learned a lot from this opportunity." Zhang Yu replied calmly.

Tian Yulan opened the book and read two pages at random. She noticed that there were Zhang Yu's comments under the words. She understood that these were his recent reading experience.

"Have you started studying books like this because you've been too idle at work recently?" Tian Yulan asked.

Yan Peng works in a state-owned company, where his job is easy and undemanding, and he spends most of his time playing games. After Zhang Yu took over Yan Peng's duties, he naturally couldn't indulge in games, but he knew that the bloated state-owned enterprises and the laziness of their employees were difficult to change.

Instead of wasting time on games, Zhang Yu decided to enrich himself with reading. Since he was responsible for cultivating Yan Ziyu, books related to education became his must-reads.

Zhang Yu explained some educational theories to Tian Yulan, but she was confused and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she went straight to guide Ziyou to do the exercises. When she calculated the scores, she grinned with satisfaction.

"Ziyou did well in this test. He performed steadily in Chinese and English. If he doesn't lose points on the last two questions in math, he should have no problem getting first place in the class." Tian Yulan said proudly to Zhang Yu.

However, Zhang Yu smiled slightly, and he was reserved about the judgment that he was the first in the class.

In the original story, most students got the last two difficult questions right because they were all taught in the private tuition class of Zhong Yi, the math teacher. This test was set by Zhong Yi, and the last two questions were even more selfish.

After Tian Yulan knew that Ziyou had excellent grades, she took the initiative to ask to appear at the parents' meeting so that she could receive the envious gazes of others. Her pride was beyond words, and how could Zhang Yu not understand it.

However, he was worried that Tian Yulan would follow the original plot and expose Zhong Yi's tutoring behavior. Although he himself disliked Zhong Yi, he was worried that Tian Yulan's impulsive behavior would eventually harm the children.

"This is my first time attending a parent-teacher meeting as a parent, and you want to deprive me of it?" he questioned Tian Yulan.

"You are not familiar with those teachers at all, and you have not established any relationship with the parents. There is no point in attending the meeting," Tian Yulan argued.

"How can you get familiar with teachers if you don't go to school? And among the parents, I only know one, Xia Junshan." Zhang Yu asked back.

After hearing this, Tian Yulan pondered for a moment and finally gave up insisting.

"If you want to attend the parent-teacher meeting, then go ahead, but can you help me see how Huanhuan's grades are this time?" She compromised and made a request.

Zhang Yu said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you care about other people's children's grades? That's Nan Li's problem to deal with." Then, he said sarcastically, "Why are you comparing with Nan Li every day? Can our family be better than theirs?"
