The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Chapter 13 Tutoring Lin Jing; Lin Dayuan Comes to See Me Late at Night

"Xiao Xi, what book are you reading today? I brought all my textbooks back with me." Lin Jing shook Lin Xi's arm and said in a coquettish manner.

She idolized Lin Xi to an extreme degree and wanted to cling tightly to her sister's leg to thank her for giving her the opportunity to borrow books from her.

"Sister, I'm a little flattered by your attitude. Why don't you just say what's on your mind?" Lin Xi said with a smile, looking at Lin Jing with a fawning expression.

"Xiaoxi, the monthly exam is next week. Could you help me catch up on my studies? I have a lot of questions I don't know how to answer, and I want to do them before the exam. Even last-minute cramming can be helpful."

It won't take you too long. I'll do it again myself, and ask you if I don't understand.

How about ten yuan per hour for the lessons? My mom said that's the price for tutoring in the city.

Lin Jing was afraid her sister would disagree, so she finished speaking in one breath.

Although Lin Xi was short of money and wanted to make money, how could she possibly make money off Lin Jing?

Her parents come back every spring to farm, sow seeds, and harvest in autumn. They only go to the city to do odd jobs in winter. They work year-round without rest, enduring hardship and saving every penny in the city.

Ten yuan an hour, which is equivalent to her parents' daily wage.

"Why would I pay you for lessons? I'm not a legitimate tutor in the city. Look at my age, who would dare to let me tutor? Only you."

I'll come to your house every day to help you with your homework, and if you have any questions, we can work on them together.

Lin Jing was still embarrassed, "But isn't this wasting your own time? Half an hour is equivalent to missing out on learning a book. Your time is much more valuable than mine."

The fact that she could read a book in half an hour had left an indelible impression on her.

"Hey, are we still best friends? I just need to explain a few problems, and I have to pay you? If I borrow a book from you, do I have to pay you a rental fee?"

"Of course not." Why would you charge money to borrow a book?

"That's settled then, let's start learning!"

Lin Xi pulled Lin Jing to sit down, and without paying attention to what she was saying, she started reading a book herself.

Seeing that her younger sister had started studying, Lin Jing didn't say anything more. They had played together since they were little and had a very good relationship. Talking about money all the time made them seem distant.

Seeing that the children had started studying, Liu Shufen placed the cut fruit next to the desk and quietly left the room.

She heard the whole conversation.

She hadn't expected her granddaughter to use her allowance for tutoring, nor had she expected Lin Xi to refuse. After all, ten yuan an hour was quite a lot, and even adults might not be able to resist the temptation.

They are all good children.

Although his granddaughter wasn't that smart, she was grateful and hardworking.

Xiao Xi is even better. Although she is young, she is smart, well-behaved, and kind-hearted.

They didn't accept the money, but we can't just take it for granted. We should bring something to thank them properly in a couple of days!

Thinking of this, Liu Shufen went to the warehouse and began rummaging through boxes and cabinets...

Inside the room, Lin Xi had already finished reading the book.

With nothing else to do, I looked at the wrong questions Lin Jing had compiled. After reading them, I picked up a pen and wrote down some key points on a piece of scrap paper.

"Sister, look, all these questions are actually based on these three knowledge points. As long as you understand these knowledge points, you will be able to answer all these questions."

Upon closer inspection, Lin Jing realized it was indeed her weak point, so she asked Lin Xi to explain it to her.

One explained in detail, and the other listened attentively; the problem was solved quickly.

Lin Jing started working on a problem, and the problems that she usually couldn't understand suddenly became like a beautiful landscape after the fog had cleared, proving that they were actually quite simple.

After she finished, Lin Xi looked at it and praised her, "Sister, you did it right! You're amazing, you understood it right away."

Lin Jing felt a little excited when her younger sister praised her. The feeling of being recognized by a genius was even happier than hearing praise from a teacher.

The two of them persevered and actually finished organizing all the previous wrong questions.

They were so engrossed in their game that no one noticed the time, and before they knew it, it was midnight.

Liu Shufen didn't specifically remind them, thinking that if it got too late, she would personally take the child back.

Unexpectedly, Lin Dayuan arrived at this moment.

"Da Yuan, I'm sorry to keep Xiao Xi here so late. I saw they were studying very seriously, so I didn't want to disturb them."

"It's alright, Auntie. I'm the one who feels bad. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Lin Dayuan heard from his mother that Lin Jing had been explaining problems to her daughter for the past few days.

"Oh dear, you all are so polite. Xiaoxi has caused us no trouble at all. It is we who are causing Xiaoxi trouble."

Lin Dayuan was taken aback by Liu Shufen's words. Before he could say anything, he saw Aunt Liu stuff a bag of sausages into his arms.

“Perfect timing. Take this sausage back and give it to Xiaoxi to help her recover. It will save me the trouble of sending it to you again tomorrow.”

"No need, ma'am, we have plenty of food at home..."

"Oh, don't be so polite..."

Just as the two were arguing, Lin Xi heard the noise and came out. She immediately understood what was going on.

If her father didn't accept the money, Liu Shufen wouldn't feel at ease letting her tutor Lin Jing, so she had him accept it, and Liu Shufen immediately beamed with joy.

Lin Dayuan simply thought his daughter was craving something and that if she wanted to eat it, so be it; he figured he could just ask her to bring something else back next time.

When I went outside, it was already dark.

The country lanes had no streetlights, and the two of them trudged along the way home, the wind biting cold, but Lin Xi felt a warm glow in her heart; it felt so good to have family.

[Ding. The host tutored Lin Jing, improving Lin Jing's learning efficiency and boosting her confidence in learning math and taking exams. 30 Love Coins awarded.]

We now have a total of 305 Love Coins.

Lin Xi didn't mean she didn't want to spend the money; she just wanted to use it wisely.

Besides, you can get some freebies from daily tasks, so try not to use your Love Coins if you can avoid it.

With that in mind, I knew I couldn't let this daily task stop; I had to finish it.

"Xiao Yi, if I finish fifth-grade English tomorrow, will I start sixth-grade English the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, host, please prepare your teaching materials in advance."

Lin Xi knew only a limited number of people, and there were no older students among them.

But I think I heard my grandma mention a few days ago that the uncle who was in the car accident had a son in middle school...

Thinking of this, I asked, "Dad, how is the uncle who was in the car accident?"

"He's past the critical period and can go home to recover. His son will pick him up from the hospital tomorrow, and his father will go too."

Lin Xi hurriedly said she wanted to go together, but Lin Dayuan hesitated. There were many people coming and going at the hospital, and he had to help out, so he couldn't take care of his daughter.

"Dad, I'm going to borrow a book from Uncle Liu's son. The teacher asked us to borrow the sixth-grade textbook."

Teacher, I'm sorry, I've used you as a shield again.

You have to take advantage of the daily quest rewards.

Although Lin Dayuan had some doubts about why a third grader had to read a sixth-grade textbook, he figured it must be reasonable since it was the teacher's requirement, so he agreed to his daughter's request.
