When Yi Xiaohai received the call, he was at Bai Bingyan's home, playing chess with him.
Su Yan followed Li Yin, and Yi Xiaohai couldn't stop him. He asked Li Yin to go directly to the eating place and then hung up.
"What, is there something wrong?"
"No, a few friends from the dormitory are planning to meet at noon"
"The friendship between classmates in high school is the purest and most precious. It's good to get together when we have time"
Bai Bingyan was also happy when he heard that the students were in good mood.
Yi Xiaohai was embarrassed to say that he hadn't had much contact with his classmates for a year. If it hadn't been for a sudden idea yesterday, there wouldn't be a gathering today.
There is no need to say these words so clearly, as long as the teacher is happy.
He picked up the knight on the chessboard and jumped a step: "Teacher Bai, it's your turn"
Bai Bingyan looked at the chessboard and saw that his rook would definitely die. He laughed and cursed:
"The doctor warned me to keep a happy mood. If you are so cruel, you are not afraid of my anger!"
Bai Bingyan pretended to be angry, but with a smile on his face, it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
He is also very energetic and does not look like a patient at all.
Yi Xiaohai looked at him with a smile, as if he was being obedient after getting an advantage: "How about I regret a move for you?"
Bai Bingyan suddenly sighed and shook his head
"Forget it, even if I regret it again, I still can't beat you"
After Bai Bingyan fell ill, the doctor told him to try to be calm and stay in a good mood.
He just thought that learning to play chess would help him slow down and cultivate his health.
But he has a rather impatient personality, and it is difficult to change this kind of thing in his bones in a short period of time.
The most intuitive manifestation is that his chess strategy is simple and direct, even a little rough.
"It seems that my temperament is not suitable for playing chess. I have to consider whether to change my tricks."
Yi Xiaohai did not comfort him, but smiled slightly with satisfaction:
"It's not that you're not suitable for playing chess, it's just that you met a master like me."
"Hahaha, yes, yes, my carriage, horse and artillery can still fire like this, I am indeed a master!"
Bai Bingyan looked at Yi Xiaohai laughing, smiling and feeling a little in a trance, as if he had returned to three years ago.
Having just entered high school, Yi Xiaohai¡¯s grades were the last in the class. Seats were arranged according to scores. He sat in the corner of the last row of the classroom.
Many of the students sitting in that seat didn¡¯t pay much attention to the lectures, but Yi Xiaohai was an exception.
The first time he went to class, Bai Bingyan discovered Yi Xiaohai. He was extremely serious about listening to the class, his eyes were bright and his eyes were very firm.
He remembered it right then.
Bai Bingyan has been observing for a month, and Yi Xiaohai is the one who listens to the class most seriously, no one else.
However,
In the first monthly exam, Yi Xiaohai¡¯s scores in all subjects, including chemistry, were at the bottom.
At that time, he saw confusion in Yi Xiaohai's eyes for the first time.
He saw Yi Xiaohai¡¯s desire to work hard to acquire knowledge during class.
Regardless of whether his grades were good or bad in junior high school, Yi Xiaohai is now a student who wants to make progress. Bai Bingyan decided to encourage him and teach him methods.
That¡¯s when Bai Bingyan came to talk to Yi Xiaohai.
Although Bai Bingyan taught Yi Xiaohai to learn Fang Fang and encouraged him, he also knew that Yi Xiaohai's foundation was too poor and it would be too difficult to improve his grades in a short period of time.
It can even be said that it would be easy for Yi Xiaohai to become an average student in three years.
But it is too difficult to stand out and become a top student.
In the midterm exam after the first monthly exam, Yi Xiaohai made great progress.
After the second monthly exam and the final exam, Yi Xiaohai¡¯s grades improved steadily.
One semester, four exams, making progress every time,
Yi Xiaohai made a magnificent turn from a poor student to an average student.
During the semester when the two were separated, Yi Xiaohai's chemistry scores dropped a bit, and they never dropped again after that.
Yi Xiaohai became very, very stable. In the end, he passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to a key university.
Although there was a bit of luck when filling in the application form, Bai Bingyan still couldn¡¯t believe it.
Among the graduating classes he has led, there are some outstanding students who were admitted to Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College.
But Bai Bingyan felt that Yi Xiaohai was the most powerful one.
Because Yi Xiaohai¡¯s success requires three years of persistence and hard work, and even a little bit of luck, which is really difficult.
"Time flies so fast"
Bai Bingyan withdrew his thoughts and looked at Yi Xiaohai, who seemed to be much more mature, with some relief:
¡°It feels like you¡¯ve grown up a lot.¡±
"Going to college is too easy, so I gained weight and looked bigger"
Yi Xiaohai deliberately misinterpreted the teacher's meaning, causing Bai Bingyan to laugh and scold: "I think you are a bit poor!"
"I am here to have some fun for you, teacher. Smiling more is good for your health. Look at how many times you have laughed since I came"
"Yes, Lao Bai is much happier after you have been here for such a short time."
Bai Bingyan¡¯s wife, Lu Hua, gave Yi Xiaohai some tea and said with a smile.
Yi Xiaohai saw that although she was smiling, the sadness on her face remained unabated. Thinking about Bai Bingyan's illness, it put a lot of pressure on her.
"Yi Xiaohai thought that when he came here, he heard the argument between her and Teacher Bai, and he still admired this teacher's wife very much.
Lu Hua added some water and left. Yi Xiaohai decided not to talk nonsense and went straight to the topic.
¡°Teacher Bai, can¡¯t you still play this game of chess?¡±
"If you don't come down, you win."
"Then what you promised me needs to be fulfilled"
"Why¡¡"
Bai Bingyan sighed.
"You heard it just now, didn't you?"
When Yi Xiaohai came, Bai Bingyan was arguing with his wife about the treatment. He must have heard it outside the door.
"Teacher, if I beat you in chess, you should keep your promise and take active treatment"
Yi Xiaohai did not answer the teacher's words. The discussion of those issues did not help Bai Bingyan's health:
"I know that you lost the bet, and even if you receive treatment, you may still have some negative emotions. In order for you to accept treatment from the bottom of your heart, I still have to persuade you.
Yi Xiaohai can directly pay for Bai Bingyan to receive the best treatment.
School donations and help from the education department can also help him solve the problem of medical expenses.
so,
Money is not the main conflict at the moment. The real problem is that Bai Bingyan is too stubborn, unwilling to accept help from others, and wants to give up treatment.
This was the beginning of the dispute between Bai Bingyan and his wife.
The first thing Yi Xiaohai has to do now is to enlighten Bai Bingyan. He cannot use too heavy a method, he needs to be more relaxed.
"Teacher, there must be a lot of people advising you to take good care and live a good life recently. You are probably tired of hearing this. If I say it again, you will probably kick me out, so let's change to a more realistic approach. What do you think?"
"Another way?"
As Yi Xiaohai said, Bai Bingyan has listened to a lot of persuasion recently, and he doesn¡¯t want to listen either.
But Yi Xiaohai said to change the way, but he was curious: how to persuade people in another way
