8: schedule

Though they were called dishes, they were actually just seasonal vegetables.

Then there was soup made with dried plums.

It could only barely fill one's stomach.

At the dinner table, Shen Luoyan shared the good news with her grandmother.

Her grandmother was also very happy.

"You must work hard for them! You only need to work one day a week, four days a month, and they give you a thousand yuan! That's more than some laborers earn working every day!" her grandmother reminded Shen Luoyan.

"Don't worry, Grandma, I know," Shen Luoyan nodded.

Both her grandfather and grandmother were old, and her grandmother's health had never been very good.

The family's livelihood depended solely on the one and a half mu of land her grandfather cultivated and the odd jobs he occasionally took in the city.

They barely managed to get by with this.

She served rice for both her grandfather and grandmother.

Then the three of them, grandfather, granddaughter, and grandmother, ate together.

After eating, Shen Luoyan was about to clear the table.

"Alright, alright, I can clean up. You should hurry and go teach them. Now that you're eating their food, you still need to be diligent when doing things for them," her grandmother said to Shen Luoyan from the side.

"Okay, Grandma," Shen Luoyan nodded.

After tidying up her things a bit, Shen Luoyan slung her bag over her shoulder and rode her bicycle.

She headed towards Guo Hao's house.

In March, the biting spring wind in Gan Province was still somewhat cold.

Facing the spring wind, Shen Luoyan tightened her wide school uniform.

About ten minutes later, Shen Luoyan parked her bicycle in the shed next to Guo Hao's house.

She went upstairs.

"Luoyan is here!" Guo's mother enthusiastically opened the door for Shen Luoyan.

"Thank you, Auntie," Shen Luoyan greeted her politely.

Walking into the house, Shen Luoyan saw Guo Hao diligently working on practice problems.

Shen Luoyan secretly nodded in her heart.

Guo Hao's foundation was very poor, but he was indeed very serious, hardworking, and intelligent.

For someone like him, she could definitely help.

If she could help him improve his grades, then Shen Luoyan would feel that the money she received was not ill-gotten.

She walked over to Guo Hao's side.

"These are my notes from junior high school," Shen Luoyan handed the notes in her hand to Guo Hao.

"Thank you," Guo Hao said to Shen Luoyan.

"Alright, we'll start studying triangles this afternoon. Triangles are involved in many aspects of junior high school mathematics, and even relate to Geometry content in high school. You must study hard!" Shen Luoyan said seriously to Guo Hao.

"Okay!" Guo Hao nodded.

One teaching and one learning, time passed quickly.

Shen Luoyan's knowledge level was very high. When facing junior high school mathematics, she explained it with a high-level perspective, making it quite thorough and clear.

Even though Guo Hao only had Lv1 in mathematics, he learned very quickly when listening to her.

He could clearly see that his progress in the first semester of junior high mathematics had already exceeded fifty percent in just one day!

Although a significant part of the reason was that it wasn't difficult to begin with, and much of the knowledge was already hidden deep in his mind, the current learning process was also a process of recollection.

"That's about it for math today. I'll give you some test papers, and as for some key knowledge points, remember to review them yourself and practice more. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime," Shen Luoyan said to Guo Hao.

"Okay!" Quickly, Shen Luoyan roughly outlined a series of review points for Guo Hao, and then listed a sheet of books he needed to focus on and problems he needed to solve.

"Alright, that's it for today!" At five in the afternoon, Shen Luoyan looked at the dim light outside the window and said to Guo Hao.

"Tonight, just finish these two test papers, and you'll be fine."

"How about I walk you back?" At this moment, Guo Hao also noticed the dim sky outside.

He roughly knew that Shen Luoyan's family did not live in Gan City, but seemed to be in a village around Gan City. For a girl to ride a bicycle at night, it might be a bit unsafe.

"No need, you should focus on your practice problems!" Shen Luoyan said to Guo Hao, then stood up, preparing to leave.

"Luoyan, stay here for dinner tonight! I'm about to start cooking!" Guo's mother, hearing the commotion, rushed over and quickly said to Shen Luoyan.

"No need, Auntie, I'll just go home to eat!" Shen Luoyan quickly said.

Before Guo's mother could even try to persuade her further, Shen Luoyan, like a startled rabbit, fled from the Guo family.

Guo's mother showed a helpless expression.

"This child!" At this moment, Guos Father next to her smiled slightly.

"This girl is very good. She may be poor, but she has integrity. Look at her, when she came to our house, she didn't touch any of the fruits or snacks you put on the table. She only drank a few sips of water. She has backbone!" Guos Father said with some emotion.

Guo's mother took a look and indeed it was true, she couldn't help but remain silent.

Guo Hao listened to his parents' words and said nothing.

Shen Luoyan's aloofness at school was well-known. Many people often discussed how, despite her excellent grades, Shen Luoyan had no friends.

She almost always kept to herself.

The reason was that she never ate anything given by others, nor did she share anything with others.

She even completely ignored people who usually asked her for help with problems.

She was a very clear-cut person.

There was no way she would stay at his house for dinner or snacks.

Guo Hao didn't care. As long as Shen Luoyan diligently tutored him, it was fine. What kind of person she was, Guo Hao didn't care about now. What he wanted more now was the reward from that golden quest!

Brain enhancement!

If he could successfully enhance his brain, to what extent would his intelligence reach?

Guo Hao was very curious and also very eager.

Thinking of this, Guo Hao suppressed his wandering thoughts and refocused his attention on the review outline Shen Luoyan had prepared for him.

The outline Shen Luoyan prepared was very detailed and progressive.

After a brief study, Guo Hao praised it in his heart, thinking that hiring this tutor was incredibly worthwhile!

Without this tutor, if he were to try to catch up on his own, it would be difficult to find direction, not to mention that recalling and supplementing the junior high school knowledge system quickly would also be an extremely troublesome task.

After dinner, Guo Hao went into his room alone.

He solved problems very quickly.

Guo Hao finished the two test papers Shen Luoyan left behind in just over an hour. After checking the answers, his accuracy rate had already reached ninety percent!

Guo Hao was very satisfied with his speed and accuracy.

He roughly organized the problems he got wrong and continued to solve more problems.

While solving problems, he also studied junior high school mathematics according to the review outline Shen Luoyan left behind.

Around ten o'clock, Guo Hao completed the first semester of junior high school mathematics to one hundred percent.

"Ding, user's math level has increased, gaining Math Experience +80!" Just as Guo Hao had thought, completing the first semester of junior high school indeed granted math experience.

It's just... it would still take a long time to raise his math level to Lv2!
