At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Chapter 88, Today's Live Mock Exam! (Subscribe)

"Did you take a lunch break?"

Since they had agreed beforehand that Shen Qiushan would come to her office for extra lessons at noon, Lin Xiamo was not surprised at all that Shen Qiushan came at this time.

However, she seemed not to have heard the bell for the end of get out of class.

"Director Xu wanted to discuss something with me, so I left early."

As he spoke, Shen Qiushan took out two red envelopes and placed them on Lin Xiamo's desk: "The 2 yuan you lent me before."

"I don't have much use for the money, so there's no need to rush to pay it back."

Lin Xiamo did not take the money, but glanced at Shen Qiushan.

"You know, I'm not short of money now."

Shen Qiushan shook the mobile phone in his hand, and the meaning was obvious: he now has income from writing novels.

Lin Xiamo couldn't help but think of the readers' crazy rewards. Even she couldn't help but gave 1000 yuan last night.

"Your book..."

In fact, Lin Xiamo wanted to ask Shen Qiushan how many manuscripts he had, and it would be best if he could lend them to her to take a look.

Now that she has read the latest chapter, she is naturally very curious about the subsequent plot.

But when the words came to her lips, she changed them to: "Did you receive all the money for the reward?"

"Not really."

Shen Qiushan shook his head: "We'll split the profit with the website 50-50, and then deduct personal income tax."

"what?"

“So much deduction?”

Lin Xiamo frowned slightly. When she gave the reward last night, she thought that the money would eventually become her nephew and niece's tuition, living expenses, etc.

Unexpectedly, there were unscrupulous middlemen who made a profit from the price difference!
After giving out 1000 yuan in rewards, Shen Qiushan couldn't even get 500 yuan.

"Are you surprised? They provided the platform!"

"It's the same as on short video platforms. The anchors only take half of the gifts they receive."

Shen Qiushan explained casually. He thought Lin Xiamo asked this because he had paid back the money and wanted to get a rough idea of ​​the income from writing books.

He had no idea that his second sister-in-law was feeling sorry for the tip money he gave her.

Fortunately, the reward was only 1000 yuan.

Lin Xiamo silently comforted herself. To her, this amount of money was actually nothing. She just felt that it was unfair to lose the money.

Having money doesn’t mean you have to be taken advantage of!

"I promised you online that your next mock exam will be live-streamed. Are you sure that's okay?"

Lin Xiamo changed the subject.

"no problem."

Shen Qiushan looked relaxed. There was still nearly a month until the next mock exam, and by then the review plan for the three subjects of "Politics, History and Geography" would be completed.

Shen Qiushan didn't even dare to imagine how strong he would be by then.

"By the way, are there really any reporters and influencers signing up for the exam?"

Shen Qiushan asked curiously.

"There are so many, the spots were filled up not long after the video was posted."

After Lin Xiamo posted that video, her private messages were flooded with requests for registration, various interview invitations, and even requests for business cooperation.

"that's true!"

"Whether it's for journalists or internet celebrities, this is a good opportunity to gain traffic."

As Shen Qiushan was speaking, the bell for the end of get out of class rang.

"I'll go to the cafeteria to buy food. You use your time to review!"

Lin Xiamo stood up and took the initiative to take over the task of buying food.

"it is good!"

Shen Qiushan nodded and did not reject his second sister-in-law's kindness.

However, looking at her graceful back, Shen Qiushan was a little dazed for a moment.

The year he met Lin Xiamo, his second sister-in-law was only 13 years old. She was still a lively and cheerful little girl, and even a bit talkative.

Shen Qiushan still remembers the two questions Lin Xiamo asked him when they first met.

"Brother-in-law, isn't your style non-mainstream?"

"Brother-in-law, can you take a beating? My dad said he's going to beat you to death!"

I don’t know when it started, but the lively and cheerful second sister-in-law began to become taciturn, and finally became cold and aloof in people’s eyes.

But Shen Qiushan knew that this second sister-in-law was a typical example of someone who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

She also takes special care of him and his two children.

dong dong dong.
Shen Qiushan was reminiscing about the past when someone knocked on the office door.

The voice was very soft, as if afraid of disturbing the people in the office.

From the knock on the door, Shen Qiushan could tell that it must be Xu Biwa who came.

This little girl is always cautious in everything she does.

Shen Qiushan opened the door and saw the little girl with a mushroom head in a loose school uniform standing at the door, holding two math exercise books in her arms.

"Uncle Shen."

Xu Loquat was a little surprised to see that the person who opened the door was Shen Qiushan. She came out right after class and thought he would be the first person to arrive, but she didn't expect Shen Qiushan to be even earlier than her.

"Loquat, this is the tuition fee, take it."

After Xu Loquat sat down on the sofa, Shen Qiushan handed her the red envelope he had prepared.

After coming out of Xu Decai's office, Shen Qiushan had made up his mind. Of the 30,000 yuan that was returned, he would return 20,000 yuan to Lin Xiamo and give the remaining 6,000 yuan to Xu Pipa as tuition fees.

"Uncle Shen, this is too much."

Xu Loquat took the red envelope. Although he didn't count it, he knew from its thickness that there were at least a few thousand yuan in it.

"As agreed, money first."

"Paying daily is too much trouble. This is the tuition fee for two months of supplementary lessons."

Shen Qiushan explained with a smile.

"Oh."

Xu Loquat hesitated for a moment, but still took the red envelope.

She first put the red envelope into her school uniform pocket, but perhaps worried that it would fall out of the loose pocket, she unzipped her school uniform.

She has always zipped up her school uniform to the top, which not only wraps her body tightly but also covers her neck.

At this moment, the zipper of her school uniform was pulled down halfway. Shen Qiushan, who was sitting opposite her, just glanced at it casually, but was shocked.

No wonder this little mushroom-headed boy wears a loose school uniform all day long. It turns out there is a treasure hidden inside.

It’s not that uncle Shen Qiushan is disrespectful, he just didn’t expect that the little mushroom head that looked thin and weak and malnourished could actually be so fully developed!
Not scientific!
This is not scientific at all!

He is 160cm tall and weighs less than 90kg.

It can actually produce such rich fruits.

Shen Qiushan subconsciously recalled the scene of Lin Xiamo leaning on the office chair when he first walked into the office.

The two are actually equally matched!

"Uncle Shen, can you turn around for a moment?"

Just when Shen Qiushan was surprised at the big treasure hidden in the little mushroom head, the little girl blushed and whispered.

"Uh, okay!"

"I just need to go to the bathroom."

Shen Qiushan probably guessed where the little mushroom-headed boy was going to hide the money, and immediately got up and left the office.

After Shen Qiushan left, Xu Loquat took the money out of the red envelope, rolled it up, took a rubber band from his wrist and tied it around the red envelope, and then stuffed it into his collar.

This money is too important to Xu Piwa. She dare not put it in her pocket casually. If she loses it, she cannot afford it at all.

After collecting the money, she zipped up her uniform again and gently stroked her chest. Due to her good financial situation, the money did not bulge out at all.

After finishing all this, Xu Loquat showed a relieved smile on his little face.

At this time, brother and sister Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao just arrived.

"Loquat, why are you here alone?" Shen Yanran asked curiously when she saw that her father and second aunt were not there.

"Uncle Shen went to the bathroom. Vice Principal Lin was not there when I arrived." Xu Loquat replied truthfully.

"Teacher Xu, let's get started. I've already saved up several questions!"

Shen Yanran sat down next to Xu Biwa with a smile, and then put the exercise book she brought on the coffee table.

"Yanran, we agreed not to call you Teacher Xu."

Xu Loquat corrected with a blushing face.

"Okay, Xu Pipa."

Shen Yanran changed her address, then took out two lollipops from her pocket and gave one to Xu Piwa: "Before studying, have a lollipop to cheer you up."

"I"

Xu Loquat instinctively wanted to say no, because she had understood a truth a long time ago.

Equivalent exchange!

If any relationship wants to last, it must follow the principle of equal exchange.

If someone is nice to you, you should be nice to them.

If someone gives you a gift, you should also give them a gift.

Only in this way can both parties reach a balance in their hearts and maintain the relationship.

On the contrary, once this balance cannot be achieved, the party who gives more will gradually become unbalanced, and the relationship will come to an end.

This is true for friends, lovers, and relatives.

The only relationship that does not follow this kind of balance is probably the love between parents and their children!
Unfortunately, Xu Loquat has never experienced it.

Therefore, she knew from a very young age that you should not easily accept things given by others, because you have to give them back!
However, Xu Loquat now believes that she does not have the ability to "reciprocate" with others, so she has no friends except her childhood friend Zhao Dongmei.

The exchange between her and Zhao Dongmei was that she could tutor her good friend.

So, when faced with the lollipop handed to her by Shen Yanran, she was a little hesitant.

But Xu Loquat finally accepted it. It was a lollipop, which she could afford. The most important thing was that she really wanted to make friends with Shen Yanran. She liked Shen Yanran's optimistic and cheerful personality.

Xu Loquat peeled off the candy wrapper, but instead of putting the lollipop in his mouth like Shen Yanran did, he stretched out his tongue and gently licked the amber candy ball.

The tiny sugar particles wrapped in the sugar body explode from the tip of the tongue, just like melting snow falling into a stream in early spring, with a subtle sizzling sound of ice crystals shattering.

So sweet!

In Xu Loquat's impression, she seemed to have not eaten sweets for a long time.

She even tasted ginseng fruit in a lollipop.

"Shen Yanran, could you please stop being so exaggerated? If you want candy, just say you want candy. Why are you talking nonsense like that?"

At this time, Shen Yixiao started to complain about her sister as usual.

"Shen Yixiao, if you don't understand, just shut up!"

Shen Yanran responded with a roll of her eyes. "Eating candy naturally makes people feel better. There's a scientific basis for this!"

"Loquat, give this illiterate person some science education."

"Oh."

Xu Loquat swallowed the sweet water in his mouth and explained seriously: "When people eat sugar, the sugar will quickly enter the blood, causing blood sugar to rise. The brain's reward system will sense this change in blood sugar, thereby stimulating neurons to secrete dopamine."

"Dopamine is a neurotransmitter closely related to emotions such as happiness and satisfaction. It can bring people a sense of pleasure and satisfaction. It is like a reward signal from the brain to the body, making people feel better."

Shen Yixiao originally thought Shen Yanran was just making it up, but he didn't expect it to have a scientific basis. He looked at Xu Biwa and said jokingly, "Teacher Xu, you don't have an encyclopedia in your head, do you? You know all this!"

Xu Loquat's face turned red again when he was called "Teacher Xu" again.

But this time, before she could correct him, Shen Yanran spoke up for her: "Loquat has already said that he doesn't like us to call him Teacher Xu!"

"Stop talking nonsense and come over here to listen to the questions. I guarantee you won't be able to answer any of them."

"That's not necessarily true. I've been incredibly good at math lately!"

Although Shen Yixiao was very stubborn, he still moved forward.

One question is finished.

Shen Qiushan also joined the group attending the lecture.

After a while, Lin Xiamo returned to the office with the packed food.

Now the three children realized that Vice Principal Lin (Second Aunt), who was not in the office, had gone out to buy them lunch!

The next few days.

This is the case almost every day. The young teacher Xu Piwa is responsible for giving lectures, and Shen Qiushan and his two children are responsible for attending the lectures.

Lin Xiamo took the initiative to undertake the logistical support work. Every day at noon, there was not only a nutritious lunch, but also a variety of fruits!

As for the negative public opinion on the Internet, it has long been forgotten with the emergence of new hot news.

Until Yang Xijin suddenly posted a Weibo: I will go to Sanjiang High School to take the mock exam tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Wang Zhixin also posted a video on his Kuaiyin account, saying that he would go to Sanjiang High School to take a mock exam with another reporter from the newspaper, Hao Bo.

The two spoke out one after another, which immediately activated the dead memories of netizens.

"I forgot, there's still this big melon to eat. Come on, Lao Yang, I'm rooting for you!"

"Didn't they say there would be a live broadcast? I have to join in the fun!"

"Finally, I've waited until this day. I want to see how many points that old man Shen Qiushan can get in the exam."

"The exam was held at Sanjiang Senior High School. Who knows if Shen Qiushan had seen the test paper in advance? There's no fairness at all!"

"Time flies! It's already been a month. I wonder how 38-year-old Lao Deng's dream of attending Sanjiang University is going."

In fact, not everyone has forgotten about Shen Qiushan during this period. A large number of netizens are waiting for the follow-up of the incident.

As the mock exam is finally about to begin, the incident has become hot again.

There are still 33 days until the college entrance examination.

The day of the fourth mock exam for Sanjiang High School.

Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao, brother and sister, packed up early.

"Dad, why is he so slow today?"

Shen Yixiao, who was waiting in the living room, looked at the sliding door of his father's small room. Usually, the sliding door was open, but today it was closed.

"Dad, my second aunt is here!"

Shen Yanran shouted into the room. In order to let the father and son (daughter) focus on their studies and save time on the road, Lin Xiamo took the initiative to take on the task of picking up and dropping off the three of them to and from school.

Today is the day of the mock exam, and Lin Xiamo arrived ten minutes earlier than usual and is already waiting downstairs.

Wow!

Just when Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao were looking forward to it, the sliding door finally opened.

Shen Qiushan came out.

The brother and sister, who were about to complain, were stunned when they saw their father, and both pairs of eyes widened subconsciously.

"dad?"

"Dad?"

The brother and sister opened their mouths in surprise, then looked at each other.

Today’s dad is so handsome that he is a stranger to them!

My dad, who usually doesn't care about his appearance, has a neat and tidy hairstyle today and his sideburns are neatly trimmed.

After wearing casual clothes for a long time, he changed into a navy blue suit.

He wore a white shirt with a stiff collar and a dark red tie.

Not only has there been a change in his dress, but today Shen Qiushan's brows also have a bit more of the calmness and confidence of a mature man.

"Why is our dad so handsome all of a sudden?"

Shen Yixiao muttered.

“It’s super handsome!”

"So much more handsome than the stars on TV!"

The astonishment faded away, and Shen Yanran smiled with her eyebrows curved. Her father was handsome, which was certainly something to be proud of.

At this moment, Old Shen just walked out of the room. After seeing Shen Qiushan's outfit, he was stunned for a moment, then complained: "Qiushan, why are you digging out your wedding clothes?"
