The first class in the second year of high school was English. Li Ziyi stood on the podium and read the contents of the textbook skillfully. He also explained why certain words are used in certain sentences, and in what context it is appropriate to say such words.
wait.
To other students in the classroom, Li Ziyi's lecture was very lively, but to Ma Xiaolong's ears, it was like a foreigner who had learned Chinese teaching primary school Chinese to Chinese children. The content of the conversation was as follows.
My mother said to me: Ergouzi, mother has prepared dinner, come back and have dinner quickly!
I said: OK mom, I will be back for dinner right away.
My mother asked me: Ergouzi, is the dinner cooked by your mother delicious?
I said: Mom, the dinner you cooked is so delicious, the best.
…
There seems to be nothing wrong with the content of the above conversation, but it just doesn't sound right. When Li Zi speaks English, Ma Xiaolong feels like this.
If it were him, he would simply say: Ergouzi, come back for dinner; I know, come here; Is it delicious? It’s delicious.
For things like language, teaching in the mother tongue is more authentic. Just like when Chinese people speak Chinese, it sounds like they are spoken by Chinese people. But if a foreigner is asked to speak Chinese, even if he has passed the Level 10 Chinese language test,
But after just one sentence, you can tell that he is a foreigner.
Zhu Sha and Li Xin listened to what Li Ziyi said, and within a few minutes they no longer wanted to listen. Ma Xiaolong had already told them these contents last night, and he told them much more vividly and interestingly than Li Ziyi.
"Husband..." Zhu Sha tugged at the corner of Ma Xiaolong's clothes: "Tell me about the rest?"
"That's fine." Ma Xiaolong nodded.
"Master, take me with you." Li Xin heard that the master's wife was going to run away, so what? He quickly caught her.
Ma Xiaolong glanced at her and said, "Move the table over here."
"Hey!" Li Xin moved the table to Ma Xiaolong's table, took out his English textbook, and prepared to listen carefully.
"..." As soon as Li Zi on the podium saw this scene, he paused and said, "Li Xin, what are you doing?"
"Teacher Li, what you are talking about was taught to me by my master last night. I would like to listen to the following lessons."
"..."
This statement was so direct that I couldn't even control the plum. After a long time, I hummed softly: "So, you understand the content of this class?"
"I know it!" Li Xin said: "If you don't believe me, you can test me. If there is one thing, I haven't learned it yet."
Li Zi was furious: I still don’t believe it.
He immediately talked to Li Xin in English. Li Xin answered very fluently, and his spoken English had a British flavor, which confused Li Ziyi: "Who did you learn this spoken English from?"
"Follow my master!" Li Xin said with admiration on his face: "My master has even completed self-study courses at the university. What he taught me was like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes and killing a chicken with a machete. He was overqualified and underused."
"..."
Zhu Sha covered her face with one hand and whispered: "As an apprentice, you are already very good at flattering me."
Ma Xiaolong nodded, definitely lv3.
"...Sit down!" Li Ziyi felt a deep sense of frustration. If all the students had studied by themselves in advance, what use would she be as a teacher?
Fortunately, such monsters are rare, and the confidence he lost from Li Xin was finally made up for by other students.
But she no longer plans to care about Ma Xiaolong, Zhu Sha and Li Xin's studies. She is not worthy.
…
The next few days were uneventful. Dai Yu only stayed at Ma Xiaolong's house every night. At noon, he went home to have dinner and communicate with his parents as usual. He learned that his daughter was doing well at Ma Xiaolong's house and her learning efficiency was indeed beyond their expectations. The two of them
I felt relieved.
Li Xin, on the other hand, is really rough. He feels comfortable living in Ma Xiaolong's house. He eats Ma Xiaolong's food for three meals a day, gets up early to practice in the morning, and gets guidance from Ma Xiaolong when he practices martial arts in the evening. He is happy here and doesn't miss Shu.
However, she didn't come home or make a phone call for several days, which made her parents unable to sit still.
That afternoon, not long after getting home from school, I saw a car parked in the open space opposite the front door of Ma Xiaolong's house. The door opened. Li Yuanchao and Sun Yan got out of the car and moved two boxes of drinks and a bunch of gifts into the trunk.
, walked into the yard.
"Is anyone home?" Sun Yan shouted.
Li Xin, who was doing homework in the room, heard her shout and was stunned for a moment: "Mom? Why is she here?"
"Auntie? Uncle, why are you here?" Ma Xiaolong walked out of the kitchen, holding a rolling pin in his hand.
"Xiaolong, where are you cooking?" Sun Yan's eyes lit up and her smile was as bright as a flower.
"Yes, aunt, uncle hasn't eaten yet? Let's eat some together later."
"Okay!" Sun Yan smiled and said, "I've heard that Xiaolong's cooking is particularly delicious. I have to try it today."
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Li Xin came out of the house, saw his parents bringing a bunch of things, and said, "Why did you buy so many things?"
"You stinky... brat, you didn't know how to call home these days. You really forgot about us, right?" Li Yuanchao scolded with a smile.
"No way! Isn't it nothing?" Li Xin came over quickly and took the drink.
"You won't say anything if nothing happens, right?" Sun Yan wiped away her tears: "How could I have given birth to such a white-eyed wolf like you?"
"..." Li Xin rolled his eyes: "It's my fault. Can you call home every day from now on?"
"You establish the written evidence."
"..."
Three girls, Zhu Sha, Dai Yu and Chen Jun, all came out and invited the couple to sit in the room and help Li Xin out of trouble.
Because Ma Xiaolong also had to cook, as the hostess of the family, Cinnabar naturally shouldered the responsibility of entertaining guests.
Tea and snacks were all available, the conversation was decent, and the behavior was generous, which made Li Yuanchao and Sun Yan sigh with emotion: No wonder she can be Xiaolong's fiancée, she really has a lot of talent.
Not long after, Zhang Chiling came back. When she learned that Li Xin's parents were here, she quickly stepped forward to entertain them.
"This is my master's godmother, my master's aunt's mother, and my master's grandma." Li Xin introduced her parents.
"Hello." Zhang Chiling nodded with a smile.
"Hello, hello." Li Yuanchao and Sun Yan shook hands with her one after another and sat opposite each other.
"I didn't expect Xiaolong's godmother to be so beautiful. It's true that birds of a feather flock together." Sun Yan said with a smile.
Zhang Chiling smiled and waved her hands: "No, no, sister, you are beautiful!"
"Oh?" Sun Yan was skeptical about this sister: "How old is your sister this year?"
"Where is my sister who was born in 1964?" Zhang Chiling asked.
"..." Sun Yan, who was in 1961, looked helpless: "Okay! It seems that I am older, so you can call me Sister Sun from now on!"
"Okay, Sister Sun, just call me Xiao Zhang."
"Okay Xiao Zhang." Sun Yan quickly adjusted her mentality and asked: "Xiao Zhang, what are you usually busy with?"
This is the bottom line!
"I opened a music training center across from the normal school. It was linked to the Education Bureau a few years ago. This summer, I opened a music training school in Xiaolong's R&D base to teach children vocal music and musical instruments."
"Ouch! That's pretty awesome!" Sun Yan was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you, Xiao Zhang, to be the principal. I'm so disrespectful."
"Sister Sun, please stop teasing me." Zhang Chiling smiled and waved her hands. The two women of similar age became happier as they chatted. For those who didn't know, they thought they were sisters who have known each other for many years!
Women are indeed born diplomats.
After working for an hour, there were eight dishes, four cold and four hot, on the dining table, surrounded by several plates of dumplings. Because Li Yuanchao drove here and did not drink, he had iced soda instead.
"It looks really good." Although the four cold dishes were all bought from outside, the four hot dishes were cooked by Ma Xiaolong himself, especially the squirrel and mandarin fish dish, which was particularly labor-intensive. In comparison, the three delicacies from the ground were...
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded pork with green peppers are nothing.
"This squirrel mandarin fish dish is very skillful!" Li Yuanchao and Sun Yan have both seen the world. The squirrel mandarin fish dish has been eaten in several restaurants in the past. Not to mention other things, it just looks like this.
, the food made by Ma Xiaolong is more beautiful than any other restaurant they have ever eaten.
I just don’t know how it tastes?
"It's rare that my aunt and uncle are here today as guests. I'd like to propose a toast to you." Ma Xiaolong held a glass of soda in his hand and said, "Toast."
"Xiaolong is so polite, we are all one family, don't be so formal, just be casual." Sun Yan said with a smile while holding a soda.
"Your aunt is right, we are not outsiders, just be casual." Li Yuanchao agreed.
"Okay." Ma Xiaolong didn't like the politeness at the dinner table, so he took a sip of soda and said, "Let's get started! Uncle, aunt, please try this squirrel mandarin fish and comment on it."
"Okay." Li Yuanchao and Sun Yan each took a chopstick of fish, dipped it in the sweet and sour tomato sauce and put it in their mouths. The crunchy sound was particularly mouth-watering, and the sweet and sour aroma in their mouths exploded on the tip of their tongues, making their eyes shine.
"Good! It has all the flavors, flavors and textures. This dish is definitely of state banquet level." Li Yuanchao had had a state banquet at the State Guesthouse before, and his words were very convincing.
"It's really amazing." Sun Yan couldn't help but eat a few more pieces of fish and praised it again and again: "Just with this dish, Xiaolong is qualified to be a chef in the State Guesthouse."
"Uncle, auntie, thank you for your praise." Ma Xiaolong smiled and was humble.
"This is not an award. Xiaolong, your cooking skills are really impressive." He tried the other three dishes. Although they were a bit homemade, the ingredients were fresh and the ingredients were appropriate, giving the couple a whole new taste.
It happens to be the flavor they like.
"Xiaolong, if you open a restaurant, your aunt and I will go there to eat every day." Li Yuanchao's words were the last word, affirming Ma Xiaolong's cooking skills.
Ai Wu Ji Wu, Li Xin's parents praised Ma Xiaolong's cooking skills, Zhu Sha and the others were very happy and frequently 'toasted' them, and the atmosphere was very lively.
A family banquet is no different from a banquet. It focuses on eating and there are not so many polite things. In addition, young people don’t like the so-called banquet culture very much, so they eat very quickly. In half an hour, their stomachs are full. Dai Yudi
One stood up and left: "Uncle, aunt, I still have homework to do. You guys eat, I'm going to do my homework first."
"Oh? Go quickly! Don't delay your homework." Li Yuanchao and Sun Yan said quickly.
With Dai Yu taking the lead, Chen Jun and Zhu Sha also left one after another. Now, Li Yuanchao and Sun Yan couldn't chew their food carefully. They chatted and speeded up their eating speed. In just ten minutes, their bellies were bulging.
Sun Yan put down her chopsticks, sighed and said, "Eat, Xiaoxin, is this what you eat every day these days?"
"No." Li Xin shook his head: "Today is to entertain you, so Master has made so much. Usually it is not so rich, but whatever Master makes is delicious, and there is nothing the same every day, hehe~"
Hearing these words, the couple was extremely envious, and Sun Yan began to wipe her tears again: "No wonder you, a white-eyed wolf, don't miss home at all. It turns out that you are happy here and don't miss Shu."
"That's for sure, living at Master's house is like living in heaven." Li Xin said with a face filled with intoxication, "You won't be here anymore, I'm fine here!"
"You damn... child." Sun Yan patted her shoulder, covered her face and cried: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"..." Li Xin rolled his eyes: "That's almost enough! This is my master's house, not my home."
"They're all the same." Sun Yan blinked at Ma Xiaolong and said, "Xiaolong, what do you think?"
"Yeah, it's all the same." Ma Xiaolong nodded: "One family does not speak the same language."
"That's right!" Sun Yan smiled as brightly as a flower: "Xiaolong is better, he looks good and talks nicely."
'Mom' likes it very much.
"Haha~" Ma Xiaolong smiled, stood up and said: "Auntie, uncle, you go sit in the living room, I will put away the dishes first. Mom, help me entertain."
"Okay." Zhang Chiling nodded with a smile.
"Master, let me help you." Li Xin rolled up his sleeves and worked.
This was all her job before, but today Master has done a lot to entertain her parents, so she must behave well.
Seeing their daughter who hardly did any housework at home working quickly, Li Yuanchao and Sun Yan had mixed feelings: This little bastard doesn't work at home, but is so diligent at the master's house.
In the living room.
Zhang Zhiling placed the measuring cup of hot tea in front of the couple and said, "Brother Li, Sister Sun, drink some tea to relieve your tiredness."
"Thank you, Xiao Zhang. Stop being busy. Sit down and chat together." Sun Yan said with a smile.
"Okay." Zhang Chiling brought over a plate of dried fruits and then sat down.
Sun Yan looked at the empty living room and asked, "Where are the children?"
"It's in the study room on the second floor!" Zhang Chiling said: "The children usually study and do homework in the study room."
"Does my little letter come with you?" Sun Yan asked.
"Yes." Zhang Zhiling nodded: "Xiaolong tutors several children for two hours every night, and Xiaoxin also tutors this child."
"Oh?" Sun Yan and Li Yuanchao looked at each other, and both felt that it was right to put the child here.
"Xiao Xin hasn't caused you any trouble these days, has he?" Sun Yan asked.
"No, Xiaoxin is a very good kid. He is very serious and diligent in studying and practicing martial arts. He is always rushing to do work, which makes me a little idle." Zhang Chiling said with a smile.
"..." The couple was speechless.
Sun Yan gritted her teeth: This stinky girl looks different at home and outside, but she really has a little white-eyed wolf?
