Chapter 20 I also shed tears for women
Wu Jin, a girl in Class 1 of Yucai Primary School.
If you have to add some tags, it’s just unremarkable. The biggest feature is that the sound is relatively thick.
Every other aspect is very average, not outstanding at all. Even his grades were just right in the middle of the class.
However, such a female classmate who would normally be lost in the crowd left an indelible impression on Li Yan before her rebirth.
By the time he graduated from college, the only elementary school girl he still remembered, besides "Li Xinyuan with good grades," was Wu Jin.
After all, she was the woman who made him cry.
It’s the end of October, yes, it’s this time.
The embarrassing, uncomfortable, and bad memories were completely restored with the chance encounter with Wu Jin.
Before rebirth, Li Yan was relatively introverted, especially not good at dealing with relationships with female classmates. She often showed a strange state of "avoiding others for fear of not being able to catch them".
In the eyes of boys, this is called pretentiousness, but in the eyes of girls, it is cold.
Of course, there is a small group of people who are more willing to challenge.
Do you refuse people thousands of miles away? I just want to pester you and make you open your heart.
Wu Jin is such a person. The way she chooses to fight is to ask questions.
As the strongest academic in the class, it is normal for Li Yan to have people ask for advice. What is abnormal is the mentality of asking for advice.
Li Yan is not a proud and complacent character. His pride essentially stems from strong confidence. He is arrogant internally and humble and polite externally. Therefore, he tried his best to answer the students who came to ask questions.
Except for two situations: asking for secrets and asking repeatedly.
Li Yan will analyze specific problems in detail and help summarize the rules, but many students ask:
"How can I improve my math to 100 points?"
"How can I become better at composition?"
"How do I become the first in my grade?"
He is tired of this kind of question, because most of the time the answers he gives will not satisfy his classmates.
After all, there is only one answer to this kind of question: "Study hard."
After studying hard, you will know that the questions to ask are specific and clear, and the path to take is Being down-to-earth, there is no need to ask how to reach the sky in one step.
As for repeated questions, people who value logic often have a hard time accepting things that go against logic. From Li Yan's perspective, he answered A, and the questioner said he understood it, and then extended it to B, and the questioner also understood it. Then the relationship from A to B was solved.
The questioner continues to ask about C, and Li Yan answers C based on the relationship from A to B, then the questioner should be able to understand.
It’s just that many times the questioner: “Then why is A like this?”
At this time, Li Yan’s patience will run away quickly.
He would always emphasize: "If you don't understand, don't say you understand, I will explain until you understand."
Then you will see the impatient expressions of your classmates.
That's enough.
Wu Jin is the latter. He doesn’t know whether he really doesn’t understand or not. He asks the same question over and over again. After answering the same type of question, he asks it again from the beginning.
Until one day, Wu Jin found him with a math exercise book:
"Li Yan, Li Yan, I would like to ask you how to solve this kind of problem quickly?"
A few simplified questions about mixed fractions, which are indeed very simple.
Before rebirth, Li Yan took the pen and paper seriously and said while calculating: "First, mixed numbers must be converted into improper fractions, such as 1 and 6/8. According to the denominator, what is 1 equal to?"
" 1."
"No, I mean, what is 1 equal to eight?"
"8."
"So 1 and 6/8, yes. Can’t it be regarded as 8/8+6/8? ”
"Yes."
"How much is it equal to?"
"It's 1 and 6/8."
Li Yan felt his breathing contract sharply.
“Take 8 as the denominator.”
"Why?"
"A mixed number turns into an improper fraction. Do you know what an improper fraction is?"
"Of course I do!" Wu Jin was very impatient.
“...So this is an improper fraction, is it 14/8?” “I know.”
Li Yan exhaled a breath, "What is the greatest common factor of 14 and 8?"
"2?"
"How to simplify it?"
" Divide by 2?"
"Continue."
"7/4?"
"Isn't this solved?" Li Yan stopped writing, "Other questions also follow this idea. If you are willing to simplify it to 1 and 3/4 first, and then It can also be expressed directly as 7/4. "But why do we use 8 as the denominator here?"
"This is how to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions."< br>
“You also said that it can be simplified to 1 and 3/4. At this time, isn’t it just using 4 as the denominator?”
"Yes, this is just the difference between simplifying first and then transforming and transforming first and then simplifying. Do you understand?"
"I know, I understand, don't be so condescending, Li Yan."
Li Yan clenched her fists for a moment, "I'm just making sure you understand."
"You don't have to ask me if I understand. You are not a teacher. I understand, OK? Then this What about the question? "
Li Yan almost fainted when she saw that the mixed fraction was still an improper fraction, 1 and 5/8.
"Isn't this the same?" His tone began to sound a little anxious, "There are no common factors between 5 and 8, so there is no need to simplify further. Do you understand this step?"
"I understand, don't ask me, you Say it directly. "
"The direct numerator 5+8 is equal to 13, 13/8, the idea is the same."
"Then why can't we simplify it first?"
< br>“Because!” Li Yan said word by word, “I just said, 5 and 8 have no common factors, so there is no need to simplify further!”
"You have a nicer attitude, Li Yan. I'm here to ask you a question."
"You don't have to ask."
A sudden cold remark struck Wu Jin in place. , it took a long time to put away the question book, and returned to his seat without looking back.
Li Yan was very angry and helpless that day. The person who asked the question did not listen carefully and instead blamed the person who answered the question. He was really kind-hearted and misunderstood. When school was over in the afternoon, he was still muttering to himself that some people really have poor understanding, but he could just say that he didn't understand. He was not an impatient person, when he was suddenly stopped by Chen Wenjing.
He still remembers that it was a blue-sky afternoon in October in the golden autumn. When school was over, the sky was still clear. It was a good day to enjoy the sunshine and autumn breeze on his mother's motorcycle.
But Chen Wenjing took Li Yan back to the office seriously.
"A classmate reported that she asked you for advice, but you were arrogant and told her not to ask you. What's going on?"
What the hell? Li Yan was in disbelief. His mouth was open for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.
What a pity! For a long time afterwards, Li Yan would beat his chest when recalling this incident. Who told me that as a child, whenever I felt wronged or angry, I would start crying? There is really no way to refute this character.
"Well, in the eyes of the teacher, you have always been a good child, good at studying, and sensible. But good at studying, does not mean you can be proud, you know?"
"Being able to study is a skill, but before you can learn well, you must first learn how to be a good person."
"Asking for advice from your classmates is a recognition of you. You cannot be proud and complacent and look down on your classmates because of this."
……< br>
Every word he said was like a stabbing knife, which made Li Yan, a primary school student, feel aggrieved until he burst into tears. The more aggrieved and weeping he felt, the less he could open his mouth to refute, and then he thought about his mother already downstairs. After waiting for a while, I was criticized in the office...
It's so cowardly. Every time he thought of this past incident, Li Yan would pinch his thigh hard.
After that day, Wu Jin suddenly stopped asking him questions, and there was no communication at all in the class. It wasn't until Wu Jin later became the announcer of the school radio station and played an impassioned march that Li Yan had openly expressed her dislike for every day as the end of lunch break, and combined with the fact that she was always hanging out with Zhang Ming in sixth grade, that Li Yan came back to his senses.
But at this time, the entrance examination for the four major junior high schools was the main course, and there were many things that he was too lazy and had no energy to pay attention to.
This person just faded out of sight, but left a deep impression on Li Yan that spanned two lifetimes.
The bad memories are over, and the vivid Wu Jin is greeting him with a smile.
Golden Autumn October, the same time, coupled with Chen Wenjing’s powerful buff at the class meeting that made students ask Li Yan more questions, it seems that the children’s tricks will come next week.
Li Yan also smiled and waved in response.
Xiao Nizi... you'd better really come and ask me questions.
(I wish all the book friends here a happy new year and all the best!)
