5: I must study hard!
Hearing Guo Hao's words, Guo's Father was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look intently at Guo Hao.
Guo's mother, who was bringing the noodles over from the side, also heard Guo Hao's words.
A look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face, and she quickly walked to Guo Hao's side, placing the noodles on the coffee table.
"Guo Hao, you've grown up!"
Guo Hao felt a pang of sadness in his heart; after experiencing over a decade in his previous life, he finally understood how much pressure his parents had been under all these years.
Because they felt they owed him, they didn't dare to impose any demands on his studies.
But like all other parents, they naturally hoped their child could get into a good school and a good university.
"Okay! Since Guo Hao, you want to study hard, then we'll study hard! Even if you fail the College Entrance Examination this time, it's okay, at worst, you can repeat a year!"
Guo's Father's face showed joy.
Their son had finally become sensible, which made the couple very happy.
Looking at the heartfelt smiles on his parents' faces, Guo Hao was also very happy.
This was the meaning of his rebirth, wasn't it?
Guo Hao started eating his noodles.
While eating, Guo Hao began to mention finding a tutor for himself to his parents.
"Guo Hao, is it okay to just find your school's Teacher? Let them come to our house on weekends to teach you, and then we'll pay them for the tutoring."
Guo's mother asked.
"Not really."
Guo Hao shook his head.
"After all, my foundation is too poor. If I ask the school Teachers to come, it's impossible to ask one Teacher for each subject. I think it's best to ask someone of a similar age, preferably someone with good academic performance in high school, who can tutor me in all subjects."
"Guo Hao makes sense."
Guo's Father, who was beside them, nodded in agreement.
"Isn't there a place where tutors set up stalls near the Xinhua Bookstore on our East Gate Street? I happen to have a day off tomorrow, so we can go and take a look!"
"Okay, then the three of us will go there together to take a look."
Guo's mother made the decision directly.
Their family's situation wasn't bad, and the money for a tutor wasn't a big deal.
After chatting with his parents for a while, Guo Hao also finished his noodles.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going back to my room now."
"Go on! Get some sleep early."
Guo's mother had a smile on her face as she looked at Guo Hao; her son had woken up and was motivated to improve, and as a mother, she couldn't be more relieved.
Guo's Father was also the same, watching Guo Hao's back as he walked into the room.
It wasn't until Guo Hao's door was closed that Guo's Father and Guo's mother withdrew their gazes.
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with relief.
Back in his room, as soon as he sat down, Guo Hao eagerly extracted a bottle of Energy Potion from the System.
Almost the instant Guo Hao clicked on the extraction, a bottle of potion abruptly appeared in his hand.
What was this? Some kind of spatial teleportation technology?
Guo Hao was a little curious, but after just a moment of thought, he didn't dwell on it.
After all, he had encountered something like rebirth, so dwelling on the System's situation was meaningless.
He put his books away.
Guo Hao took a deep breath and drank the Energy Potion in one gulp.
Almost instantly, Guo Hao felt full of energy.
His gaze turned to the textbook beside him.
High School Grade 1 Compulsory 1 Chapter 3, Exponential Functions and Logarithmic Functions.
Originally, Guo Hao's head would spin when he saw functions.
He had been studying the chapter on functions for a whole day, and even the most basic functions were not easy.
Unlike sets, the operations on sets were relatively simple, just some symbols and concepts, but functions were different. Even the most basic quadratic functions had so many concepts and algorithms.
It made Guo Hao feel dizzy.
But now, with the help of the Energy Potion, Guo Hao began to regain his previous learning speed.
While learning the concepts, Guo Hao also found some corresponding problems to practice.
He could clearly see that his learning progress for Chapter 3 was almost twice as fast as before.
During the day, he had spent the entire day studying functions.
He had only barely reached 100% progress before the end of the evening study session.
But now, after an hour of studying, Guo Hao had already pushed this progress to 15%.
One must know that the later the content, the higher the difficulty.
The effect of the Energy Potion was far better than he had imagined.
His concentration was very focused.
Two hours passed quickly, and the learning progress for the chapter on Exponential Functions and Logarithmic Functions only barely reached 24%.
The further he went, the higher the learning difficulty.
Just after two hours, Guo Hao felt a sharp pain in his head.
The words on the book in front of him began to become blurry, and his originally clear mind instantly became confused.
No, I need to rest.
Guo Hao let out a soft breath.
After closing the book, Guo Hao turned off the desk lamp, took off his clothes, lay on the bed, and quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, he woke up feeling refreshed.
Deep sleep.
Although this thing was called an Energy Potion, it might actually be more effective as a sleeping pill.
Guo Hao smiled slightly.
Using it two hours before bed not only perfectly utilized the time before sleep but also allowed him to quickly enter deep sleep afterward, making good use of his sleeping time!
Perfect!
Guo Hao stretched.
He got up and got dressed.
He left his room.
"You're up?"
Guo's mother had just finished making breakfast.
Seeing Guo Hao, a smile appeared on Guo's mother's face.
"Yes, I'm up."
Guo Hao nodded.
"Hurry up and wash up. After we finish eating, we'll go to East Gate Street."
"Okay!"
After washing up and the family finished eating, they went to East Gate Street together.
East Gate Street was the most prosperous street in Gan City, with all kinds of shops.
"Guo Hao, it's been a long time since we went shopping with you. If there's anything you want to buy, just tell us!"
Guo's mother said to Guo Hao with a smile.
"Okay, Mom."
Guo Hao nodded.
Shopping with his parents, Guo Hao felt very relaxed. In his previous life, he owed his parents too much, so much that it was almost impossible to make up for it.
Even though he earned some money later, by that time, his parents' hair had turned white, and their health was deteriorating.
Such interactions were almost non-existent.
After shopping for a while, the family of three quickly arrived at an alley next to the Xinhua Bookstore.
There were about four or five people there, setting up stalls as tutors.
There were both men and women, and in front of each of them was a sign with their resume and fees.
"Boss, do you need a tutor? I graduated from the Education major at South China University, and my fee is not expensive, fifty yuan an hour."
At this moment, a boy wearing black-rimmed glasses said to Guo Hao and the others.
"An Education major from South China University, why are you setting up a stall here?"
Hearing the words of the boy with black-rimmed glasses, Guo's Father asked somewhat curiously.
The boy smiled shyly.
"I'm from Gan City. I just graduated last year and wanted to take the entrance exams for several high schools in Gan City, but I haven't passed yet... So I thought I'd come out and be a tutor first to earn some living expenses... Boss, please rest assured, if you choose me, I will show you my Teacher's qualification certificate and graduation certificate.
My academic qualifications can also be checked on the Xinxue website."
