Chapter 5: Memory bread in exchange for a breakfast
Li Hongmei didn’t even realize it, she was smiling all the way to work. Everything is pleasing to the eye, even the sun seems to be much brighter than usual.
When she entered the unit, her colleague, an aunt in her forties, glanced at her and said "Yo".
"Hongmei, is there a happy event at home?"
"What happy event? What happy event can I have at my age?" Li Hongmei said this, but she stopped and paused. He stopped talking.
This is one of the weird chatting rules of adults waiting for the other person to compliment them.
The woman with the loud voice was also very considerate, "What is that? You look so happy, you are more than ten years younger."
At 8:52, the people in the unit office are basically They're all here. People who pulled chairs, made tea, flipped through notebooks, and put out calligraphy practice books all pricked up their ears.
"Hi, it's nothing, my kid made some money during the summer vacation." Li Hongmei waved her hand, "I was afraid that I would be tired, so I was not allowed to make breakfast in the morning."
"Hua He wasted money to buy breakfast, and he said that he would pay for breakfast in the future.”
When people reach middle age, these women in the system do nothing but gossip. The only fun is scolding her husband and showing off her children, which makes her face light up.
"Your son has become sensible. It's really rare. That little brat of mine knows how to play games." The woman with a loud voice spoke, causing a stir with one stone.
The older colleagues around me all echoed a few words, but the young man couldn't get in the conversation, so the new young man said something with a smile on his face.
"Aunt Li, how are your son's grades?"
Some people are really gifted and can make the topic awkward with just one sentence. Who in the office didn't know that Li Hongmei's son had average grades and would have trouble getting into college.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door, and Xu Qianqian opened the door angrily. It turned out to be Jiang Nian.
"Why are you so nervous so early in the morning!"
Wow, a breakfast was handed to her. Xu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.
“Stop trying to bribe me here!”
"You can eat whatever is given to you, Aba Aba." Jiang Nian clicked his tongue.
Summer is especially difficult, and a breakfast breaks the barrier between two people. Xu Qianqian didn't say anything, but she was still a little moved in her heart. After all, she was hungry too.
"Thank you."
"No, let me copy it after you finish your homework."
Xu Qianqian: "."
The dining table was divided into two sides. Xu Qianqian was eating breakfast carefully at one end, while Jiang Nian was copying homework in a noisy manner at the other end. The two are in different classes, but the science papers are the same.
He didn’t dare to copy them all, but only the answers that were within his own level.
With nothing to do, Xu Qianqian squinted her eyes and watched the molten golden sunlight filtering through the window, and then glanced at Jiang Nian who was working hard at the table.
"I said, haven't you ever thought about improving your grades?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nian paused, raised his head and frowned.
"Yes, it's just that I have two ideas in my head, one is empty, and the other is also empty."
Xu Qianqian was speechless, "Then what will you do with the college entrance examination?"
Jiang Nian sighed, "I want to learn too, but there are so many homeworks in the third year of high school, and the foundation is not strong. All the time is spent on homework."
"That's for you to do. "It's slow."
"It's slow because I don't know how to do it." He spread his hands, "It's too late to finish this subject. What can I do if I don't copy it?"
Xu Qianqian crossed her arms and said, "Tsk, that's obviously an excuse."
Ding!
[Trigger learning tasks, live and learn
At thirty-eight, you have just been divorced and are standing at a bifurcation in your life. In your forties, counterattack in life requires not only a strong body, but also the cultivation of appreciation of beauty. Task: Have a pleasant conversation with Xu Qianqian.
Reward: Memory Bread (five hours), in this state you can quickly memorize knowledge. 】
Jiang Nian stared at the panel, a little confused. The system is promulgating the progress of the Gouba mission. So, is my future self pursuing Xu Qianqian?
He didn't reject it, he just thought it felt a little strange.
No matter what, the reward is important.
"Xu Qianqian, you are right!" Jiang Nian suddenly became serious, stared at the girl across the dining table and said seriously, "It is easy to give up, but hard to persevere."
"My English is not good. For the sake of asking you to have breakfast, can you teach me how to memorize vocabulary?"
He is not really motivated, but he knows that Xu Qianqian is very good in English. . She is the English class representative in her class and gets perfect scores in almost every exam.
What’s even more perverted is that she not only memorized the 3,050 words for the college entrance examination, but also memorized Level 4 and Level 6 together. Whenever someone asks her about English, she gets happy.
Sure enough, Jiang Nian's words tickled her, and her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.
"Well, for the sake of breakfast, I will tell you with mercy."
After listening to the lecture for five minutes, Jiang Nian's mental activity was as follows:
*(*ˊˋ)*, he is worthy of being a perfect scorer, he still has something, okay, I understand!
Ten minutes:
(_) She seems to be talking happily. Do you want to interrupt her?
Twenty minutes:
(﹃), Master, don’t read it, think about it!
Half hour:
(╯▔ Pan▔)╯ can talk louder than my mother!
"So, do you remember what I just said?" Xu Qianqian said until her mouth went dry, and she took a sip of the cold soy milk, having taught her a lifetime of secrets.
"I remember it, but not completely." Jiang Nian stood up immediately and walked out directly, "You wait for me to think about it and I will talk to you in the afternoon."
"Hey! You" Xu Qianqian looked at someone's back, her silver teeth almost breaking.
This man really wasted half an hour talking!
Back home, Jiang Nian clicked on the panel.
[Task: Have a pleasant conversation with Xu Qianqian. (Complete)
Reward: Memory Bread (five hours), in this state you can quickly memorize knowledge. 】
After listening to the study discussion for half an hour, I finally got the task reward successfully. Almost instantly, a piece of bread the size of Dali Garden appeared in his hand.
Hey guys, real-time settlement.
Jiang Nian touched his chin. He is a pragmatic person. Xu Qianqian is right, we can't really continue to be bad. The most important thing at the moment is the college entrance examination.
Personally speaking, Jiang Nian, as a resident of a small county town, has a higher starting point than rural children. At least there is a guarantee. If you can't study well, you can still find a relationship and still have a job.
But, this is not what he wants.
Reading is still the best way for ordinary people to change their destiny!
Secondly, getting admitted to a good university not only has low tuition fees, but also makes your parents straighten their backs a bit if you tell them about it.
Rote memorization will not lead to high scores, but it will definitely not lead to low scores. If it is five hours of memorization time, it is more than enough to browse the 3,500 college entrance examination vocabulary.
But it would be too wasteful to use it all to memorize words. In fact, you only need to master 70% to 80% of English words, and your grades will not be too bad.
So time must be allocated reasonably. After all, other subjects also have knowledge points that need to be memorized.
Jiang Nian turned over the first page and suddenly couldn't hold himself tight.
“abandon (give up)”
