Chapter 510 If you love him, you must accompany him
After the vegetarian dishes were cooked, Gu Xuefeng and Liu Nanshan carried them to the living room of the small building together. Gu Xuemei and the others just finished the tour, so they all came to the kitchen to wash their hands and help serve the food and get the dishes.
When Liu Nanshan walked to the kitchen, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it again, and frowned, his eyes full of doubts.
Xu Qingsong was walking towards me with two dishes. When he saw it, he asked: "Uncle, what's wrong?"
Liu Nanshan handed the phone to Xu Qingsong to look at: "Help me Let me see, what does Xiao Li mean by this? Why do I always feel that this translation is wrong?”
Liu Wangxue came over and heard it, and smiled: "Dad, you had a good time chatting with Richard. Your English has improved."
Gu Xuemei walked over here carrying a rice cooker filled with rice. Hearing this, he asked her: "Who is it? English name? Your dad has made foreign friends?"
Liu Wangxue walked to the living room with her aunt and explained to her who Richard was.
As Liu Nanshan’s “poor” filter for Richard became thicker again, he learned that he had no plans to travel during the Spring Festival holiday, so he added him as a friend and said that he had three meals a day. He comes to the house for dinner.
Liu Nanshan and Richard cannot speak the same language, but they can basically achieve barrier-free communication by relying on body language gestures. But now it's vacation, one is at home and the other is in the studio, so body language is useless.
Liu Wangxue asked Liu Nanshan to teach him and demonstrated to him the translation function that comes with the chat software. Liu Nanshan didn't usually use this thing and had never paid attention to it. This was very convenient. After adding Richard as his friend, he sent a few messages to test it out and found it to be very useful. If he wanted to see Richard for something, he didn't have to wait for him to come over when he was free or when it was time to order dinner. He could just send a message to Richard and he would reply when he saw it.
However, this built-in translation system has shortcomings. If you translate a short sentence, it will be fine, but if you encounter a long sentence, the words will not convey the meaning. But it doesn't matter. Both parties understand and understand what the other party wants to express.
Today is the first day of vacation, and relatives are visiting the house again. Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan felt uncomfortable when they thought of Richard being alone, so Liu Nanshan sent a message asking Richard to come over and have lunch together.
Richard had just returned from Shen Nian's home when he received the message from Liu Nanshan. The reason why he did not travel was because of financial constraints and because he wanted to learn Chinese.
When Richard first came to Taojiacun, he said he wanted to hire a private tutor. Liu Wangxue and the others thought that Shen Nian'an and Gu Qingyue happened to be teachers in this profession, so they helped to set up the connection. The two teachers said they would discuss it after they came back from winter vacation.
After Shen Nian'an's family came back, Richard took the time to pay a visit to discuss Chinese classes with the two teachers.
Shen Nian'an has finished writing his thesis, so there will be nothing to do during the winter vacation, but Gu Qingyue is the opposite of him. Gu Qingyue's job at school is more leisurely than Shen Nian'an's, but she has a more important thing to be busy with after returning to Taojiacun——
This matter will go back to the summer vacation half a year ago. , everyone learned what happened after Tao Qinglei wanted to take the pass.
At that time, Tao Qinglei was only passionate about "passing the test" and knew nothing else. After Gu Qingyue, a teacher, learned about it, she helped Tao Qinglei consult with the teachers who taught at Zhongchuan, printed out a bunch of information for Tao Qinglei, and helped find an art teacher to guide him in the art exam. Then Tao Huayu used his connections to enroll Tao Qinglei in an art studio in the city, and asked him to attend a training camp to prepare for the art exam.
Tao Qinglei is a very ambitious and talented child. His hard work has paid off. He passed the provincial unified examination smoothly and also passed the preliminary examination at the end of last month. Yesterday, Gu Xuelan went to instruct Qinglei's mother to embroider cross-stitch. She heard from Qinglei's mother that the results of the re-examination had come out. Tao Qinglei passed successfully, and he would prepare for the third test next.
Qinglei's mother was overjoyed when she said this. The first and second exams are both online. The third exam will be at the end of this month. She needs to go to Beijing Zhongchuan University to take the offline exam and have an interview. Their family has already begun to prepare for going to Beijing.
During the summer vacation, because of Tao Qinglei’s entrance examination, Gu Qingyue had a clear understanding of the education and resources enjoyed by children in rural areas for the first time, so she went I visited the village committee and, with the help of Wang Junpeng, visited the homes of children in middle and high school in the village.
The results of the visit were not very optimistic. The children were almost "confused" about the future.
After discussing with Shen Nianan, Gu Qingyue decided to provide them with the help they could. Shen Nian'an couldn't agree more. He is a child from Taojia Village. He never thought that he could give back to his hometown in this way, and he felt ashamed.
When Gu Qingyue brought Jinghe and Youyou to Liu Wangxue to play, she mentioned this matter during the chat. Everyone thought it was very meaningful, so they established a "Student Assistance Alliance" together. , everyone has integrated available resources into this place to help the children in the village plan their studies. In a long term, it is equivalent to planning their lives.
In the beginning, this "Student Assistance Alliance" was just a small charity organization they ran privately. It was based at Tao Huayu's home, and the person in charge of reception and contact was Tao Huaxin. When it was first established, Tao Qinglei helped promote it. The first people to get the news were the few high school students in his class in the village.
Some of these children have good grades and some have poor grades.
After hearing about the good grades, they immediately went to Tao Huayu's house. The summer vacation was not over yet, and Gu Qingyue was still in Taojiacun, so they chatted with Gu Qingyue in person. The children received the planning advice within two days. The children were all delighted and felt that their goals were clearer. All that was left was to work hard to get into the university of their choice.
Children with poor grades are basically not taken seriously. They didn’t even want to go to the third year of high school, but they were caught and sent to school by the adults at home: “Now I heard that college students are not valuable anymore. It’s hard to find a job after graduation, and I don’t expect you to go to college, but if you don’t even have a high school diploma, what else can you do?”
So their family members heard about this. When she came for consultation with her child, the fall semester had already started, and Gu Qingyue and Shen Nianan had returned to the capital together. So Tao Huaxin helped contact me and conducted online consultation.
The attitude towards learning cannot be changed overnight. Gu Qingyue just wants them to see the real benefits that studying well can bring and what role these benefits can play in the future. The best example around me is Tao Qinglei. He had already gone to a studio in the city to participate in a training camp. These children usually go to and from school and play together. They don't know it. It would be a lie to say that they are not envious.
After one or two conversations, although they did not start to get angry, they gradually calmed down and started to study hard. Every point they can improve is a point.
Changes, especially upward changes, are painful, but as long as you grit your teeth and persevere, the rewards will be abundant.
With these senior high school students as role models, children from other grades also came to register with Tao Huaxin one after another. Some came by themselves, while others were brought here by their families. They signed up first and stood in line, waiting for Gu Qingyue to give them one-on-one consultation.
Not long after the "Student Assistance Alliance" was established, Wang Junpeng knew about it. He took the time to come over to understand the specific situation and reported it to the village committee. This was obviously a good thing. The village party secretary expressed his strong support, so Wang Junpeng also Stop by from time to time to see if there is anything you need help with.
In late September, the crew came to the village for filming. Qiu Xiangrong began to serve afternoon tea to the crew, and Tao's father and Tao's mother were also very busy. At that time, Tao Huaxin had not quit her job as a cashier in a supermarket in town, and was busy with work at home.
After Wang Junpeng learned about it, in order to reduce their burden, he suggested that the "Student Aid Alliance" should be moved to the village committee and given a separate desk. When would Tao Huaxin and the others be free? He would take care of her every day, and he would take care of her during the day. This was also to show the "strong support" mentioned by the village party secretary.
Tao Huaxin felt that she could not make the decision on this matter. After all, it was Gu Qingyue who first proposed it and it was only established after everyone joined together, so she asked everyone in the group first.
It is a good thing to have the support of the village. Gu Qingyue joked that their small private group will be supported by the organization from now on. After the "Student Assistance Alliance" moved to the village committee, Wang Junpeng added a table next to his desk and put a sign on it that read "Academic Counseling Office." This was changed after he discussed with Gu Qingyue and others. of.
Later, Qiu Xiangrong opened a private bakery, and Tao Huaxin quit his cashier job in the town and went to Du Yunkai's studio to open a drinking bar. This "academic consultation office" was gradually taken over by Wang Junpeng, and the matter of contacting Gu Qingyue He was also succeeded.
Now Gu Qingyue and Shen Nianan are not the only volunteer teachers who provide academic counseling for children. The couple discussed this matter with several friends who are also teachers. Doing good deeds, and It was a simple task, and these teachers came to sign up.
In addition, Xu Qingsong also told his parents about this, and the "Academic Counseling Office" suddenly had a lot more teachers.
And Du Yunkai, he also told his family. Their family already has a charity project. It is a poverty-stricken mountainous area scholarship fund jointly founded by Du Shaohua and Yin Donglei. It has helped many children go out of the mountains to go to college. Du Shaohua and Yin Donglei established a new department in the foundation called the "Taojiacun Student Aid Department" to provide assistance to children like Tao Qinglei who have artistic talent or other specialties. Of course, you also need to sign an agreement. Like those subsidized college students, you must serve the Du Group for a certain number of years after graduation.
Gu Qingyue and Shen Nianan have always been very responsible in doing things. They help the children with their academic counseling. They don't just give advice after the consultation, they will also return visits. However, the two of them work in Beijing, and Wang Junpeng can only do the on-the-spot return visits to the village. They contact each other by phone from time to time.
Now that Shen Nian'an and Gu Qingyue are back, of course they have to do their part. It's just that these days the house needs to be cleaned inside and outside. Some furniture is in disrepair and needs to be refreshed or refurbished. Shen Nian'an mainly stays at home to deal with these trivial matters. Gu Qingyue goes out to do the return visits with Wang Junpeng. Sometimes Shen Nian'an will also go with him after he is done with his work. Gu Qingyue has regarded this matter as her second career and is extremely concerned about it, so she also goes to work at the village committee.
As a result, she was afraid that she would not have time to give Chinese lessons to Richard, so she gave the job to Shen Nian'an.
Richard is also very busy at his job. After discussing with Shen Nianan, Shen Nianan suggested that he start from the studio holiday and use these ten days to study intensively. First of all, he must master the four tones and pinyin. After all, pinyin It is a tool to assist reading and is one of the required courses for entry.
As for Youyou, you can learn Pinyin just now, so you let him have some fun in the past few days when he came back. Starting today, he was caught by Shen Nianan and sat with Richard in class.
The brothers had just returned home after sending Chacha away. Xiaoyouzi felt like it was bad news when he heard the news. He wanted to go find Yaya and Xiaopang to play, so he acted coquettishly with Shen Nianan and said, "Dad, I don't learn well. Not good?”
Shen Nian'an hugged him without letting go and asked him patiently why.
Youyou first looked at your grandma and grandpa who were walking from the living room and about to go out, and looked at them for help. Grandma and grandpa responded with expressions of "I can't help you." He turned around again to look for Gu Qingyue, but Shen Nian'an reminded him not to look for her anymore, as her mother had already gone to work.
Then Youyou’s eyes fell on Richard, who was sitting upright in front of the table. He saw books, a few notebooks and a few pens placed in front of Richard. Richard saw him looking over and waved to him very friendly and smiled.
Youyou then understood that this person was not a "friendly army" either.
Finally, Little Youzi looked at Jinghe, pointed at him, and said to Shen Nian'an, "Because if my brother doesn't learn, then I won't learn either."
His little mind is very smart. He knows that Jinghe has learned these things before. Since he has learned them, he definitely doesn’t need to learn them anymore! If the elder brother doesn't learn, then he has a reason not to learn.
Unexpectedly, Jinghe walked up to Richard without saying a word, pulled out a chair and sat down. He put a portion of the notebook and pen in front of Richard in front of him and waved to Youyou with a smile: "Come here. , Little Youzi, my brother has forgotten all this knowledge. Now he has to learn it again. Can you come over and accompany him?” He also let out a long sigh and said to himself as if he was persuading himself: "Well, who told me to love my brother? If I love him, I have to accompany him."
Shen Nian'an was stunned after hearing this. He was about to laugh out loud, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud.
Not long after class started, Yaya and Xiaopang came over to play with Youyou.
Shen Nian'an: "That's right, let's study together. After we finish studying, we can play together and sit down."
Yaya and Xiaopang sat down obediently. There is no other way, Teacher Shen comes online, bringing his own dignity.
The two children were detained by Shen Nian'an and sat with Youyou to learn Pinyin. So Jinghe became a teaching assistant, responsible for managing the three children.
Shen Nian'an's classes are highly rated by both international students and domestic students. He is always good at telling boring knowledge in an interesting way. For example, sometimes he suddenly goes off topic while he is teaching. The students thought they were listening to a joke, but after laughing, they suddenly realized that this was not just a matter of using the words in the book. The "XX theory"!
Occasionally, students from other majors come to attend classes - just to accompany their boyfriends or girlfriends. They listen with great interest, so much so that they have the illusion that "linguistics is not difficult at all."
This set of Pinyin teaching created by Shen Nian'an is also based on fun. It is both interesting and impressive. It is suitable for both adults and children. He first told it to the three children in Chinese, and then told it to Richard in English.
The two hours in the morning passed quickly. Richard took the notebook back to the studio. He had to go back to eat quickly, review what he had learned in the past two hours, and come back in the afternoon to return it. Keep on learning.
As soon as I returned to the studio, I received a message from Liu Nanshan, asking him to come over for lunch. Richard told Liu Nanshan that he had started taking classes and declined his invitation.
Liu Nanshan thought it would be better to just have a meal, since there would be no time, so he sent another message asking Richard to come over. He was mainly worried that it would be a holiday for Richard to have a meal in the studio.
Actually, in the canteen, two chefs left something for Richard. Originally, Richard wasn't allowed to stay. He said that he couldn't understand the seasonings from country Z, let alone use them, and he didn't know how to make some of the ingredients. Anyway, there are many restaurants in the town, and he can cook some simple dishes himself. How can he still be so hungry? The two chefs were still worried, so they worked overtime to make a lot of dumplings and wontons and froze them in the freezer of the canteen so that he would remember to eat them. He also left some noodles, rice noodles and the like, and even the vegetables and seasonings were matched according to portions, so that when he wanted to eat, he could just throw them into the pot and cook them.
This is what Richard said back to Liu Nanshan.
But I didn’t know if there was something wrong with the chat software. The translation seemed confusing, and Liu Nanshan frowned.
As soon as Xu Qingsong saw it and asked, Liu Nanshan handed him the phone. Only after he translated it to Liu Nanshan did Liu Nanshan understand.
Liu Nanshan said: "Can I not know? I just think that the dumplings and wontons are full but not good. I made a big table of dishes..."
