Chapter 44 44. Cooperation (1)
"You don't understand even if you tell me." Seeing Xu Lingyuan asking him, he glanced at the paper beside him, then at Xu Lingyuan, then snorted and said disdainfully.
"Can I take a look?" Xu Lingyuan asked politely.Originally, he just wanted to find a topic, but now he was really curious. You must know that in the memory of the original owner, this Zhao Zian was purely an ignorant dude.
"I thought I would lie to you!" Although the other party's tone was not very good, he still handed him the page.
Xu Lingyuan looked it over carefully, and it turned out to be a math problem, which should be called an application problem in modern times, and it is an application problem that can be solved by a system of linear equations in two variables.Although he was a little disappointed compared to his previous curiosity, Xu Lingyuan tried to answer it with great interest now that he had brought it over.
Because the data is not large, Xu Lingyuan only calculated in his mind and got the answer. After all, the previous question-sea tactics were not practiced in vain, especially for a student like him who can only make up for his weakness with diligence.
"It's normal that you don't understand, you don't have to blame yourself." Just when Xu Lingyuan was about to return the paper to him, the other party seemed to say something thoughtfully, although it sounded more like a mockery.
"Well, it's okay." Looking at the other person's face as a matter of course, Xu Lingyuan didn't want to hit him too much, how could he still be sitting in his carriage.
"What's the point of being able to understand? Is it possible that you can forget it?" He thought Xu Lingyuan meant that he could understand the words on the paper, but he didn't think Xu Lingyuan could solve the problem.
There is also a reason why he thinks so. The academies here are mainly literature, arithmetic, law, etc. can only be regarded as elective subjects, and talents with clear goals like the original owner, most of them have no interest or energy to study those , so their arithmetic level is only a simple calculation in the Mongolian stage.
But the key point is that the one sitting in front of him is not the original owner, but Xu Lingyuan, who has studied mathematics for more than ten years. A little depressed, so I couldn't help but say the answer.
"Didn't you just guess?" After hearing the answer, Zhao Zian froze for a moment, lowered his head and took the paper, as if to verify whether what Xu Lingyuan said was correct, then frowned in confusion, and looked at Xu Ling Yuan asked.
"Why didn't you say that I counted on my fingers?" Xu Lingyuan glanced at him speechlessly, and then asked back.Could it be that his ability to do arithmetic made him so unacceptable?
"You haven't taken arithmetic class." Seeing that Xu Lingyuan was a little displeased, he paused, and then explained awkwardly.
"Can't I teach myself?" Sitting in the car on the left and right was fine, Xu Lingyuan saw that he was still full of doubts, so he continued to argue with him.
"Huh!" Probably influenced by the original owner's impression of being smart and studious, he actually easily believed Xu Lingyuan's explanation. After snorting dissatisfied, he was silent for a while, and adjusted his attitude slightly. , and asked Xu Lingyuan: "What books have you read?" After finishing speaking, he seemed afraid that Xu Lingyuan would ignore him, pretending to be just asking casually and not caring at all, and kept his eyes there. on the page.
"Uh... I'm not too interested, so I forgot about it." Xu Lingyuan didn't expect him to be so serious, so he thought about it and said, and then saw his disbelieving expression, so he added another sentence: "I really forgot, even those books were torn up by relatives' children."
It may be that Xu Lingyuan's attitude was very sincere. Although he was not very satisfied with this explanation, he didn't say anything else.
"Are you learning arithmetic now?" Xu Lingyuan continued to search for topics without giving up, "Is that question just your homework?"
"En." The other party just responded, as if he had no interest in it.
Seeing it several times was not very pleasant, so Xu Lingyuan wisely stopped saying anything.Fortunately, it didn't take long for Han Yue's home to arrive.
When the carriage stopped, Xu Lingyuan and the coachman helped Han Yue who was already drowsy.As for Zhao Zian, he had already got off the carriage alone, and he didn't intend to help at all, but rather disliked their actions for being too procrastinated.
After getting off the carriage, Xu Lingyuan realized that compared with the place where the Xu family lived, this place is really much narrower and remote.The alleyway was very narrow and long. After the carriage stopped, the remaining space could only allow a thin person to pass by sideways. The building also looked dilapidated. In addition, no one could be seen, making it even more cold and lonely.
The coachman supported Han Yue, and Xu Lingyuan knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, it was the girl from that day who came to open the door.She was also very surprised when she saw Xu Lingyuan, but before Xu Lingyuan explained the situation, she saw Han Yue who was being supported by someone, so she didn't bother to ask any more questions for a while, and after a hasty thank you, she helped him followed him in.
Zhao Zian obviously thought that it would be enough to get here, but when he was about to get into the carriage, he saw Xu Lingyuan following in.So after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and followed in.
In fact, Xu Lingyuan didn't quite understand why he wanted to go in. It was probably because of the girl. He felt that his family was rather embarrassed, otherwise the girl wouldn't need to go out to find a job, so he wondered if he could help.
It was only after entering that Xu Lingyuan had a better understanding of his family's situation.
The courtyard as a whole is very small. There are only two small main rooms and a kitchen. Although it is very clean, it still looks very dilapidated and shabby. Apart from the two brothers and sisters, there is nothing else to see. People, I don't know if they are out or not.
Han Yue really had a serious fever. While applying a cold towel for him, the girl complained anxiously, saying that she saw that he was not feeling well when she went out in the morning, but she insisted on going to the academy anyway, otherwise it wouldn't be so serious.
Seeing that she was a little flustered, Xu Lingyuan reminded her to find a doctor to take a look, and expressed that he was willing to help her.
In the end, although it was proposed by Xu Lingyuan, Zhao Zian, who came with him, asked the driver to go because he was not familiar with the situation in the city.
After a lot of trouble, the patient was finally placed properly. When they bid farewell to the girl and came out, it was really getting late. Fortunately, although Zhao Zian looked very disgusted with him, he still took him to the hospital in a carriage. back home.
After this afternoon, Xu Lingyuan found out that there were only the two brothers and sisters left in Han Yue's family.Originally, their family was considered well-off, but just three or four years ago, their parents died of illness one after another, and most of the family's property was used for medical treatment and medicine.They have no relatives to rely on in the city, and they only live on the remaining money, but there is not much left, and Han Yue still has to study. Although he does not need to pay tuition fees, pens, inks, papers and inkstones are always indispensable, so There is always a day to spend.
And their parents had placed high hopes on Han Yue. In order to fulfill their last wish, the girl resolutely disagreed with Han Yue going out to find work. Instead, she maintained the family by working as a maid for others, and insisted that Han Yue concentrate on studying. .
After separating from Xu Lingyuan last time, it may be that her original employer spread some unfavorable words to her. She did not find a new employer smoothly, so in desperation, she could only temporarily talk to the old woman next door. Together, take some jobs to sew and wash for others.
In any case, Xu Lingyuan admired this girl's strength, especially compared to Han Yue's withdrawn and rigid, it was really not easy for her to be so cheerful and optimistic.Therefore, remembering the last time the girl asked him if there was no shortage of servants, Xu Lingyuan suddenly really wanted to help her.
Speaking of helping, the first thing Xu Lingyuan thought of was the fourth uncle's house. After starting to make preserved fruits, the fourth uncle's house will definitely be much busier than it is now, and their family has no servants at the moment, so she can definitely let her come Help, after all, compared to the other group of people in Xu's family, it is not so easy to find a helper who is completely at ease.As for her, although Xu Lingyuan had just met her twice, he felt that she was completely trustworthy.
Thinking of this, Xu Lingyuan decided to find an opportunity to discuss it with his fourth uncle first, and then talk to the girl after he agreed.There will be no problem if you think about it. In his opinion, this is very beneficial to both parties.
After figuring this out, Xu Lingyuan finally felt sleepy. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Zhao Zian's name suddenly crossed his mind. He seemed to think of something from this, but the sleepiness Under the attack of her, she really fell asleep before she could think about it carefully.
