Chapter 545: Yan Bugui's Rise to Wealth
Chapter 545: Yan Bugui's Rise to Wealth
After leaving the pig farm, we drove straight to the steel rolling mill.
"Why are there so many brick trucks on the road?" Sun Yongkai watched trucks loaded with bricks driving into the city.
"Yeah, there are quite a lot of cars here. Could it be that they are going to renovate somewhere? It's such a big deal."
Li Kailang was also wondering what was going on, but now was not the time to ask.
After entering the city, the trucks seemed to be heading straight towards the street office, which made the two even more curious.
But it's not on the way, so it's not a good idea to go and see it.
On the way, Li Kailang passed by the yard and saw Xiao Liu, an official from the street office, going in and out and even entering the yard. He immediately stepped on the brakes.
"Chief Sun, I'm going to the yard to ask what's going on."
"Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you."
Li Kailang pulled out the key and immediately got out of the car and returned to the yard.
"Teacher Yan, the quilts are being dried."
As soon as Secretary Liu came in, he saw Yan Bugui patting the quilt.
Apart from the children, women and the elderly, Yan Bugui was the only one resting in the yard.
It’s said that teachers have many holidays, including winter and summer vacations. When everyone goes to work, he can stay at home and have a lot of free time, and even go fishing from time to time.
I can receive a salary from the school every month, and I can also do some private work on my own.
"It's Xiao Liu, what's going on?"
"Nothing, I'll come in and take a look."
"Take a look?" Yan Bugui was puzzled. What was so good about the yard? "Okay, take your time to look around."
Xiao Liu lowered his head to look at the front yard, then went to the middle yard, the back yard, and the back room. He walked around the entire yard and returned to Yan Bugui.
"Teacher Yan, there is something."
"You said."
"I see that many of the floor tiles in our yard are broken. It just so happens that the street office has received a few new batches of bricks. So, you can take some time to talk to everyone and ask them to go to the street office to get the bricks."
"Replace these rotten bricks when you have time. It's not good for this yard to fall into disrepair. When the time comes, the leaders above will come to inspect it. This inspection is related to the selection, so we must take it seriously."
When Yan Bugui heard that it was related to the selection, he immediately said, "Okay, okay, I understand. I will definitely tell you about it."
"Okay." Xiao Liu nodded when he saw that the notice was in place: "Okay, I still have to go to other courtyards to check, so I won't disturb you."
"You go about your business."
Secretary Xiao Liu turned around and left the yard. He nodded to Li Kailang behind him, said hello, and left.
"Change the bricks." Li Kailang looked at the ground. No wonder Secretary Liu lowered his head as soon as he came in. So that's how it is.
As soon as Secretary Liu left, Yan Bugui went back to his room and came out after a while with a book in his hand.
Seeing this, Li Kailang couldn't help but be curious: "Uncle, it's already holiday time, why are you out here with a book in your arms?"
Yan Bugui explained: "I will give extra lessons to a student later. This student did not do well in the final exam, and his parents asked me to give him extra lessons."
Li Kailang raised his eyebrows: "Tutoring? You can make a lot of money, right?"
Ordinary people would not give their children extra lessons. Only the rich or the noble could afford them.
People like Yan Bugui who have rich teaching experience are very popular.
Yan Bugui said sternly: "How can I talk about money when tutoring students? Students love to learn, and as a teacher, I always have to help them."
Li Kailang remained silent and stared at Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui felt a little embarrassed being stared at, but he was thick-skinned enough.
"Uncle Third is truly a man of integrity. I admire him. But I was prejudiced." Li Kailang bowed and apologized.
"It won't happen again! It won't happen again!" Yan Bugui waved his hand nonchalantly, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. You're going to be late."
After saying that, Yan Bugui stepped over the hanging flower gate and saw pots of flowers growing against the wall, each of them was extremely beautiful.
Crape myrtle, rose, jasmine, hydrangea, etc.
Yan Bugui specially picked the most beautiful hydrangea and left happily.
"Not only does he give extra lessons, but he can also sell flowers. Yan Bugui makes as much money as everyone else. He is indeed the least conspicuous one."
If we say that Yanbu's salary is expensive based on teachers' salary, it is indeed not much, but if we add in the side job, it may not be less than everyone else's.
It’s not as much as Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong earn, but it’s still more than most people in the yard.
"Okay, it's time to go back."
Now that he knew what Secretary Liu was here to do, Li Kailang went back to the car and told Sun Yongkai about it.
"Okay, let's go back to the factory."
Yan Bugui, holding a bouquet of hydrangeas, went straight to the wealthy family where he was taking extra lessons.
"Hello, I'm here for extra lessons."
Upon hearing this, the male host, who was resting in the room, immediately opened the door to welcome the guest.
"Teacher Yan, you are finally here." The host smiled and welcomed Yan Bugui in.
Yan Bugui pretended to look at the sun outside and said, "Am I not late?"
"Not late, not late."
Yan Bugui showed off the hydrangea in his hand intentionally or unintentionally.
Upon seeing this, the male owner immediately asked out of curiosity.
"This is a hydrangea for my child. In the past, people who were on the list would have a hydrangea hanging on their chests, right? I gave this to my child, and I hope he can become the top scorer in the imperial examination in the future."
Yan Bugui's words hit the hearts of the children's parents. Which parent would not like to hear them?
The hostess said at the right time: "Thank you, thank you Teacher Yan, you are so polite, this flower is really special, really beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful one."
Yan Bugui said reluctantly, "Of course, I planted this flower myself. I watched it grow little by little and took care of it for a long time. If the child's name didn't have the word xiu in it, I wouldn't be willing to give it away."
"But if it can help my child go to high school, then it will be worth it, hahaha~"
Yan Bugui's words once again made the couple happy. This teacher is a teacher.
"Xiu'er, come here quickly, the teacher is looking for you." The hostess shouted towards the room.
I saw an 189-year-old boy running out and going straight to his parents.
"This is your son, I have to say, he is really handsome. If it were in the past, he would be a handsome gentleman, and it would not be difficult for him to become the top scholar."
Hearing Yan Bugui's praise, the couple was very happy, but also a little sad in their hearts.
The hostess smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Yan, please stop praising him. We all know what he is like. I don't know why this child just can't learn well. This worries us both."
The male host said angrily: "Yeah, I just passed the final exam this time. Neither of us has ever gotten this score. It really pissed me off."
As he said this, he wanted to pull out his belt, but if Yan Bugui hadn't been here, he would have done it long ago.
When criticized by his parents in front of others, the child immediately lowered his head, feeling very ashamed.
Yan Bugui advised at the right time: "Grade is not the only criterion for judging a child. I see your son has bright eyes, so he must be a smart child."
"I think it's possible that the teacher's teaching method is not suitable for your son. Confucius said: 'Teach students in accordance with their aptitude.'"
"Really?" The hostess said in disbelief. Every parent wants their child to be successful. Since they can't find the internal factors, they can look for external factors.
Yan Bugui is full of confidence: "I have been teaching for more than ten years, and I have seen all kinds of students. They have all made great progress under my teaching. Let me give it a try."
"Is it possible? After I teach you, you will have a conclusion. I believe your son is a smart child."
After saying that, Yan Bugui looked at Xiu'er and said, "Little classmate, are you willing to show it to your parents?"
Xiu'er looked up at Yan Bugui, and seeing his eyes full of trust in him, she nodded heavily.
"Ok!"
"Well, time is money, so let's not waste time and start now."
"Okay, okay." The man replied, and reached out to take the hydrangea away, but Yan Bugui dodged him. "This flower is for the child, child, do you like it?"
"I like it!" Xiu'er carefully took the hydrangea and was deeply encouraged by the sight of the colorful flowers.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would never let Yan Bugui down.
Immediately, Xiu'er took Yan Bugui's hand and said, "Teacher, go to my room."
"Our Xiu'er has taken the initiative to learn." The hostess's eyes were filled with tears of relief.
The man hugged his wife and said, "Yes, it seems that Teacher Yan is really capable."
After entering the room, Xiuer placed the hydrangea in front of the desk, hoping to see it often, and then took out the papers from her schoolbag one by one.
Yan Bugui nodded: "If you don't understand anything, tell me and I will explain it to you."
Xiuer immediately took out the test paper: "Teacher, I don't understand this."
"Okay, I'll tell you about it."
The couple was outside the house, eavesdropping on Xiu'er's voices as she answered, regretted, and came to her senses in the room.
The hostess whispered, "It seems that this teacher Yan is really amazing. Our child is so unwilling to study, but he can answer questions calmly. He is worthy of our hard work to invite him."
The male host nodded and said, "Yes, we are lucky to have Teacher Yan. We should give Teacher Yan more gifts later. We can't neglect him."
The hostess rolled her eyes and said, "I know this, but am I an ignorant person? We will have to trouble Teacher Yan a lot this summer. If we continue like this today, Xiu'er will definitely make progress during the summer vacation."
The man didn't say anything, but kept nodding, agreeing with his wife's words.
"By the way, wash some fruits and send some snacks in later. We can't let Teacher Yan go hungry."
"Do not worry."
After more than two hours of teaching, the hostess brought in some snacks and fruits from time to time, which greatly enjoyed Yan Bugui.
If Xiu'er hadn't been here, he would have had to maintain the appearance of a teacher and would have pretended to have left long ago.
Finally, Yan Bugui took out a test paper, asked Xiuer to finish it, and then corrected it in person.
"Dad, Dad, look how many points I got in the test!"
The man was very curious when he saw his son running out with the test paper in his hand and looking excited.
I took the test paper and looked at the big score.
"Dad, look, I got 93 on the test. Isn't that great?"
"Awesome! My son is truly a genius."
Xiu'er tilted her head with pride and put her hands on her hips: "See, I told you I'm great, it's just that the teachers at school didn't teach me well, it would be different if I changed teachers."
Yan Bugui looked at Xiu'er with a smile.
"Teacher Yan, it's all thanks to you."
Yan Bugui said with a smile: "I don't deserve it, it's all because of your son's talent."
"This test paper is our school's final exam paper. Your son can get 93 points, which puts him at the top of the class I teach."
"I think your son is not stupid, but the teacher's teaching is not suitable for your son."
Just because of the principle of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude", Yan Bugui was not worried at all about being troubled by Xiu'er's teacher.
He didn't say anything bad on purpose, the results are there.
"My son has a promising future." The hostess smiled and picked up Xiu'er.
"Hahaha, it's not that I did badly on the test." Xiu'er laughed and waved the test paper.
For him, this exam is not just about grades, but also a revenge against the school teachers.
Look at how much progress he has made under Yan Bugui’s teaching, whereas the school teacher only managed to pass the exam himself.
Sit down!
Seeing the family so happy, Yan Bugui was also very happy.
As Yan Bugui, who once opened a private school, was a private school teacher, and also taught in a school, he had seen and taught all kinds of students.
Targeted teaching is not a difficult task for him. All he needs is an exam to help the children get high scores and tell their parents that their children are not mediocre.
By the way, you can also show your own abilities. Even if these children are not good at studying, there are still many ways out for them.
However, this cannot conceal Yan Bugui's teaching ability. In order for a child to pass the exam and get 93 points, Yan Bugui has put in a lot of effort.
Seeing that the family of three had almost finished playing, Yan Bugui said at the right time: "It's getting late, I should go back too."
The host invited, "Oh, yes, I'm not looking for a time, Teacher Yan, how about staying for dinner?"
Yan Bugui waved his hand: "It's different. My wife might have already prepared dinner and is waiting for me at home. Maybe next time."
"Is that so? That would be a shame to keep you here." The man nodded and glanced at his wife.
He understood what I meant immediately and went back to the house to get two red envelopes.
"Teacher Yan, this is the tuition fee for this time."
Yan Bugui looked at the two red envelopes and was a little surprised, but he still only took one of them: "One is enough."
The hostess offered two of them: "Please accept these two. We like the hydrangeas you brought. You raised them with great care."
"We can't take your flowers for free. If you don't take them, it will make us feel bad."
"That's great." Yan Bugui pretended to refuse again.
After three refusal and three declines.
"Okay, I'll accept it shamelessly." Yan Bugui was embarrassed to accept the red envelope.
"That's right. I'll have to trouble Teacher Yan again tomorrow."
"You're welcome. It's getting late. I'll go back."
"Xiu'er, say goodbye to the teacher."
"Goodbye, teacher." Xiuer waved.
"Goodbye." Yan Bugui waved with a smile.
Accompanied by the male host, he left this wealthy area.
After walking far away and out of sight of the wealthy area, Yan Bugui couldn't wait to open the two red envelopes.
There were 3 pieces in each bag, totaling 6 pieces.
Teaching and flowers are both three yuan, which is equal, which shows that Yan Bugui’s words are as powerful as his teaching.
"Hey, I made money, I made 6 dollars for just one trip, which is enough to cover one fifth of my salary, and I can keep doing it later."
At this moment, Yan Bugui couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Rich people make money easily and spend lavishly. After teaching a few times, a month's salary will be paid. It seems that I will do my best to teach from now on."
For these wealthy people, being lavish is nothing more than hoping that Yan Bugui will do his best to applaud them.
The tutoring business is something that only rich people can do. How can poor people afford so much money?
Yan Bugui seldom does the tutoring business that ordinary people do. Firstly, it reduces recruitment and is not cost-effective; secondly, it is stingy and troublesome.
Yan Bugui has yet to find a student who is willing to teach him without asking for anything in return.
Or maybe I encountered him but failed to keep him, or he was snatched away by other teachers in advance.
After all, a teacher's promotion depends not only on his or her seniority but also on the performance of his or her students. As a small business owner like Yan Bugui, it is difficult for him or her to meet a talented student.
Unless someone appears in the yard, it will not be his turn.
"I'm so happy today!" After making a lot of money, Yan Bugui went home smiling.
When everyone got off work in the afternoon, Yan Bugui told everyone about Secretary Liu's affairs, borrowed Li Kailang's cart, and organized everyone to go to the street office to move bricks back.
