Chapter 587 Frightened? surprise?

Chapter 587 Frightened? surprise?

It wasn’t until the second half of the year that the situation finally got better.

Except that Zhao Hanyu became a formal employee and his monthly salary increased to two thousand US dollars, the financial pressure on the two of them improved slightly.

The main reason is that Mi Xiaoran became the best student in the language school.

Her English level has made amazing progress through hard study.

This is not surprising. The teaching method in the United States is open education, which is very different from the domestic exam-oriented education method.

In the language school, there are less than twenty students in a class. We all come from different Chinese-speaking areas in Southeast Asia, and there is a big age difference.

Every day in class is not like in China, where you sit down and look at the blackboard and listen to the teacher lecture on the podium.

Instead, everyone sits in a circle on chairs, and the teacher will use picture cards to teach English words.

The school textbooks are also illustrated with pictures, and each lesson is like a story.

The teacher is also very enthusiastic when answering students' questions, anytime and anywhere without any impatience.

The advantage of this education model is that it has no sense of oppression and is especially beneficial to those who are sincerely thirsty for knowledge.

But for most people who lack self-discipline, it will have the consequences of letting things go their own way.

So it is precisely the difference between the two types of education that gives Mi Xiaoran an advantage in learning.

People like Mi Xiaoran have already developed self-discipline in China and have no way out.

Just like the difference between urban and rural children in China, in fact, the thing they are least afraid of is studying.

This kind of flexible learning mode that can be used at will is actually a kind of enjoyment for her.

Besides, she doesn’t need to support her family and has a lot of time to study.

Although housework is not easy, there is no one to supervise it.

She can memorize words and work half of the time, or even get familiar with the language by watching TV or listening to the radio.

The only difficulty she needs to overcome is actually speaking English in public and being timid and shy when expressing herself.

This is almost a common problem among mainland Chinese students.

So when she got used to the American classroom model, she became a little bird that let herself fly. She felt that this kind of learning was so comfortable, SOEASY.

Her English level improved rapidly at a speed that others could not imagine.

It even successfully broke the record of students graduating in the shortest time since the school was founded.

The teachers and classmates at the school were really surprised by her "language talent".

Needless to say, once the language barrier is over, all aspects of life will become much easier.

First of all, life has become more convenient.

Mi Xiaoran can basically handle the basic necessities of life in the city on her own.

And you can also enjoy some spiritual entertainment.

At least I can understand the lyrics of some English songs, understand Disney cartoons such as "Snow White" and "Bambi", and children's programs such as "Sesame Street".

She became good friends with a Singaporean girl she met at the language school who also came to study abroad.

There are also several small shop owners who she often frequents who can also chat with her

This way, when she has nothing to do, she can have someone to chat with her about study and life trivial matters.

This greatly alleviated her loneliness in a foreign land when Zhao Hanyu was away.

Secondly, now that she has a certain foundation in English, she dares to drive out alone.

In the past, she was afraid of running into trouble that she could not solve, especially of being inspected on a whim by the American police.

So even if I got my driver’s license and my parents-in-law bought a second-hand car, I wouldn’t dare to drive it.

Now she has the confidence to communicate normally with others, which greatly increases her range of activities.

From then on, she truly realized the car dream that she could not even imagine in China, and enjoyed the happiness of posture.

Finally, and more importantly, Mi Xiaoran is one step closer to her dream.

After she left the language school, she signed up for a cram school and prepared to take the "Academic Assessment Test."

This test, referred to as "SAT", can be taken seven times a year. You can choose your best score and submit it.

But it is an important reference for most universities in the United States to admit students.

Similarly, in this link, the domestic teaching advantages are revealed again.

Because Mi Xiaoran has a solid foundation in mathematics, the mathematics curriculum of domestic middle and high schools is also advanced than that of American high schools.

Based on the test at the time of admission, the school gave Mi Xiaoran the opinion that she only needed to strengthen her abilities in "critical reading" and "English writing", and that she did not need to remediate mathematics.

So even though life in the United States is tiring, stressful, and uncomfortable in various ways, I often miss home, feel lonely and tired.

But Mi Xiaoran, who grew up under the red flag, finally survived by relying on the tenacity he had developed since childhood and not being afraid of hardships and obstacles.

She watched as her plan was realized step by step, getting closer and closer to her dream.

I began to feel a sweet feeling that my efforts would finally be rewarded.

It is like the joy of farmers who have been working hard for a long time and see the hope of a good harvest.

But fate likes to play tricks on people. When Christmas and New Year's Day came in 1983, Zhao Hanyu's mother once again urged them to have a child.

And he took the initiative to provide Mi Xiaoran with a job, hoping that she could come to help in the family restaurant.

This caused another change in Mi Xiaoran’s academic path.

From the bottom of her heart, she was very unwilling to obey her mother-in-law's arrangement.

Not only did she feel panicked and at a loss, she also felt a kind of anger and frustration similar to that of having something of her own taken away.

But the key problem is that if she wants to go to college, she can't afford the tuition fees, and she will definitely need Zhao Hanyu's family to support her.

Even her basic life depends on the Zhao family. How can she refuse her mother-in-law's request? What confidence do you have to refuse?

If she makes the Zhao family angry because of this matter, it will definitely be difficult for Zhao Hanyu to be in the middle.

If things go wrong in the end and even the relationship between husband and wife is affected, how can she realize her ideal?

After much thought, she felt that the only way to realize her ideal was to save the country through a curveball.

For now, we can only swallow our anger and submit to the arrangements, which is obviously wiser.

At least agree to work in the restaurant and get some remuneration. Only with a financial foundation can she truly control her own destiny.

Fortunately, there is no age limit for admission to American universities.

When she can afford the tuition herself, she will definitely be able to return to school.

But she really can't have a child, even if Zhao Hanyu hopes to be a father as soon as possible.

For no other reason than children are invisible shackles. Raising children takes up too much energy and time.

If this matter goes according to her husband's wishes, she is absolutely sure that it will be 100% impossible for her to realize her dream of going to college.

So this is her bottom line.

On New Year's Eve, at five o'clock in the morning, Mi Xiaoran woke up early. She was half asleep and half awake that night, and she didn't sleep well at all.

I am thinking about the time to call my parents today to wish them a happy New Year.

I am worried about the reunion dinner we will have at the Zhao family villa in Changdao tonight, which will probably be the time for the final showdown.

She felt unsure whether she could successfully reach an agreement with the Zhao family.

After all, the problem of having children is much more important than helping the family work.

However, she did not expect that Zhao Hanyu, who had already looked into her eyes, would quietly prepare a surprise for her.

At 7:30 in the morning, as usual, Mi Xiaoran put breakfast on the table and called Zhao Hanyu who was snoozing on the bed.

"My dear, it's time to wake up. I've already prepared breakfast, so don't stay in bed. Otherwise, you'll be busy at work again."

If it were normal, Zhao Hanyu would definitely be While complaining in frustration, he fought resolutely against sleepiness.

But within five minutes, I would probably be able to crawl out of bed and walk into the bathroom to take a shower.

But something unexpected happened today. Zhao Hanyu didn’t react at all and continued to sleep.

And he was very resistant. He actually covered his head with a pillow, as if he didn't want to listen to Mi Xiaoran's nagging.

Mi Xiaoran is angry and funny.

Since they moved out of Zhao's house together, she has rarely seen Zhao Hanyu behave in such a childish manner. Zhao Hanyu has always been a responsible husband.

So I had to go to the bedside to push him.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hanyu actually made a voice from under the pillow, "Leave me alone, please, I don't want to go to the company today."

"Huh? Why?" Mi Xiaoran couldn't help but wonder Surprised, I then thought of a possibility.

I quickly reached under the pillow to find my husband’s forehead.

"Hanyu, are you sick? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

She was worried, but unexpectedly, Zhao Hanyu grabbed her wrist, and then he pulled her to the bed, rolled over and held her down.

Then there was a burst of passionate affection.

Mi Xiaoran, who was worried about her future, was completely surprised by such a prank. She was not in a romantic mood at all. How could she possibly follow Zhao Hanyu's wishes?

So the fierce resistance began.

Soon relying on the advantage of a woman and the help of sharp teeth, Mi Xiaoran broke free from Zhao Hanyu's suppression and successfully regained his freedom.

Zhao Hanyu's male self-esteem was greatly frustrated as a result.

He had to admit that he couldn't handle his wife.

It was only then that he realized that Hollywood movies and TV series were just fucking nonsense.

How can it be so easy to force a base hit?

This is obviously a highly technical and difficult crime, okay?

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, wrong! Didn't you see that I had already raised my hands and surrendered! My dear, please stop. I just want to give you a surprise..."

Zhao Hanyu in Mi Xiaoran pinched and twisted again and again and was in a state of embarrassment, but Mi Xiaoran blushed and refused to let go easily.

"What surprise? This is a fright! Let you bully me, let you scare me! Let you not go to work!"

Then he picked up the pillow and put it on Zhao Hanyu's head. Smash it.

"My dear, I have a day off today! It will be three days, and I can accompany you today and tomorrow. But I will be preparing to go on a business trip the day after tomorrow! I won't lie to you, I really won't lie to you! Just listen to me Say it”

In the end, it was Zhao Hanyu's complete confession that ended it all.

Qing Zhao Hanyu took the initiative to apply for a hard job with the company that no one likes to do.

From now on, he will travel to various branches of the company across the United States.

Check the accounts, and also organize, plan and analyze the business change data of various branches across the country.

However, due to the need to travel frequently, working overtime day and night, and catching flights, the work intensity is not small.

The subsidies and travel benefits are quite good, and Zhao Hanyu's salary has also increased to a certain extent.

In general, there will be an extra $1,000 in income every month.

The main purpose of Zhao Hanyu's move is that he does not want Mi Xiaoran to be unhappy.

He has already seen his wife's efforts and knows the importance of going to school in his wife's heart.

So after communicating with his strong mother to no avail, he decided to stand by his wife this time.

Even if he loses his family's financial support, he still has to rely on himself to help Mi Xiaoran fulfill her dream of going to college.

When Zhao Hanyu rubbed his sore head, he weakly pointed at the plane ticket for Mi Xiaoran with his fingertips, and added, "We will only have about eight or nine days a month in the future. It’s time to be together. I just can’t bear to leave you.”

Mi Xiaoran was completely moved, and the atmosphere at this time was fundamentally reversed.

As the saying goes, it is easy to get priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a lover.

She didn't say anything, she just wanted to throw herself into her husband's arms and kiss him actively.

She wanted to hold Zhao Hanyu's thin face and let her tears wash away the pain and grievance she had just inflicted on her husband.

However, she stopped halfway through.

Because she is not an American after all, and when it comes to romantic feelings, her heart is always higher than her body.

She cannot restrain her complex emotions.

She covered her mouth, held her face, and cried, like a five or six-year-old girl.

Zhao Hanyu was dumbfounded and didn't understand why for a long time.

Soon, he got up from the bed, put his arms around his wife's shaking shoulders, and whispered to her.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Xiaoran, I know I have wronged you. I have always been too weak in front of my parents and brother! I didn't hold on for you far enough. But I promise that from today on, I will try to make you happy. I will try to be a good husband. I will definitely do what I promised you."

Mi Xiaoran sobbed. No, no...I shouldn't...cry, but I...I can't help it."

"I understand. They don't consider your feelings. I also disappoint you..."

"No, it's not...I'm so happy. You're very good, you're so good...I didn't expect you to be so good..."

Zhao Hanyu was stunned for a moment, but now he was proud.

"Haha, what is this? I have something better. Today at noon, I will take you to a restaurant. You will never believe it, I found a place that serves Beijing cuisine. Stir-fried mutton with green onions, How about shredded pork with Beijing sauce, pickled cabbage and white meat, as well as noodles with soy sauce and pickled cucumbers?”

Mi Xiaoran was stunned, opened his mouth, and almost drooled.

Then she burst into surprise and suddenly hugged her husband's neck and shouted loudly, "Really? Where is it! Where is it? Is it far? Let's go quickly, you are amazing!"< br>

Zhao Hanyu tried his best to free himself from her arms and said with a smile, "Haha, you are such a greedy little cat. You are not so happy about my great sacrifice. I understand your feelings, but the problem is, now It’s only morning, and I’m still naked like this, so any restaurant would kick us out!”

Mi Xiaoran blushed this time, but after being coy for a long time, she still didn’t forget to give her husband a kiss.

This time, it’s really only sweet.
