"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha"
After dinner, everyone was watching TV in the living room when they heard the sound of Tianxiu laughing from inside. Several children heard Tianxiu laughing. Xi Xiao ran in, and then there was the sound of a bunch of children laughing. "Hey, didn't you give your son medicine today?" The second brother yelled at the second sister-in-law.
"You are saying that I am stupid, right?" The second sister-in-law was not happy when she heard what the second brother said, and shouted back: "If he is stupid, he was beaten stupid by you when he was a child. Yes, go and see what happened to them."
The second brother was pushed up by the second sister-in-law, and he walked in reluctantly. After a while, the sound of the second guy laughing was also heard, and everyone became completely curious. I saw the second guy Tianxiu walking out with Uncle Qiu, and a group of children were surrounding Uncle Qiu because Uncle Qiu was wearing Tianxiu's school uniform.
The 60-year-old man was wearing a primary school uniform, and it obviously didn’t fit him, making him look particularly funny. Everyone laughed when they saw it, and Lao Dou laughed and said: "Xia Qiu, the kid is crazy, are you going to go crazy with him?"
"Tianxiu, Tianxiu, you are really tired of teasing my uncle like this." My mother also laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. Tianxiu smiled and said: "What? It's none of my business. It was my uncle who told the truth. He said that others would not think he was a teacher."
It turned out that Uncle Qiu went there before. Diana took classes there, and those in their teens and twenties regarded him as their teacher. Now I go to an interest class with Tianxiu, and they are all children of Tianxiu's age. He was afraid of being regarded as a teacher again, so he took the initiative to find Tianxiu and asked to borrow his school uniform.
Uncle Qiu waved his hand to signal everyone to stop laughing. When everyone calmed down, he said, "That's it. I think Tianxiu is a classmate in his class. I can be their grandpa." I'm afraid that when I go in, they'll be afraid that I'm a teacher or a parent, so I dress like this."
"Uncle Qiu, don't think that people will think you are a teacher. If you go out like this, people will think you are stupid." Azu laughed.
Uncle Qiu scratched his head when he heard this and asked: "Do I still want to wear this school uniform?"
"Of course not!" Everyone said in unison.
The next day happened to be Saturday, so Uncle Qiu followed Tianxiu to the English interest class in the Children's Palace. It wasn't until the sun went down that the two people returned home, "Uncle Qiu, are you back? Sit around and drink tea." Kang Qirui quickly greeted him and poured tea, and then asked: "How is Uncle Qiu? In Tianxiu and the others, Did you gain something from studying the basic class?”
Uncle Qiu slumped on the sofa, shaking his head and saying nothing. "Uncle Qiu, don't sigh. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Learning the phonetic symbols is a bit difficult at the beginning. Once you learn the phonetic symbols, learning words becomes easy." Kang Qirui comforted him and looked at Tianxiu, "Uncle, uncle He's old, you need to help him more, you know?"
"Okay, I'll take care of it," Tianxiu promised, patting his chest, "There will be no training class tomorrow, but I will go. Studying in the English Corner, uncle, why don't you come with me?"
"But I can't speak." Uncle Qiu said awkwardly, obviously he didn't want to go. Kang Qirui enlightened: "You just have to practice if you don't know how to do it. The most important thing in learning English is to be thick-skinned and dare to speak. You won't be afraid if you make a mistake. Moreover, no one knows each other in the English corner, and others won't know you if you make a mistake." Who is it?”
Uncle Qiu was persuaded by Kang Qirui and went to the English Corner with Tianxiu after lunch on Sunday. As soon as he entered the English corner, Tianxiu started chatting with others like a wild horse. Uncle Qiu turned around and couldn't find him, so he had to wander around by himself.
Uncle Qiu was strolling around and then went to the college student area. "Hello, hello, can I chat with you?" A tall white man greeted him, and he replied blankly. : "Okay, okay."
"My name is Jim, IcomefromEngland, whatisyourname?" Jim introduced himself and asked. Uncle Qiu was stunned for a long time before he understood and said: "I understand, you What is my name? My name is Michael, which means shrimp ball in Chinese."
Jim nodded and asked, "Are you here to learn English?"
"Yes. Ah, yes, I want to come here to learn English." Uncle Qiu smiled, and then asked doubtfully: "You are a foreigner, why do you want to learn English here?"
"I want to learn Chinese." Jim said. He felt that the people who came to the English Corner would have some English and could understand him, so it would be very convenient for him to learn Chinese from them. Uncle Qiu and him hit it off immediately, and both of them proposed to learn from each other and communicate with each other.
The two of them walked and chatted, and soon walked out of the English Corner and walked to the Pearl River. Uncle Qiu said: "Now that we are here, can I take you to the Pearl River today?"
< br>"Swimming the Pearl River?" Jim shook his head violently when he heard this and refused: "No, the water is not clean."
"I'm not asking you to jump into the Pearl River to swim. We are visiting the Pearl River, visiting the Pearl River It means." Uncle Qiu quickly explained.
“Oh, Isee, travel, notswim.” Jim nodded and said, and Uncle Qiu asked, “travel? What does travel mean?”
"Travel means travel and travel. You can use travel when visiting the Pearl River." Jim explained, and then asked: "Michael, I want to know about the history of the Pearl River."
Uncle Qiu Society I learned a word, and I was very happy at this time. So he introduced: "The history of the Pearl River? I know this. I learned this when I was a child. Our Pearl River has a very long history. Human beings lived here hundreds of thousands of years ago. There are fifty-six ethnic groups in our country. , there are more than thirty people living in the Pearl River Basin, such as the Yuanmou people in southern Yunnan, the Shuicheng people in Qianzhou, the Liujiang people in western Guangxi, and the Qilin people, etc. They all lived in our Pearl River area. "
"There are also the famous Sun Wen, Hong Xiuquan, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Deng Mingen, Wang Ruofei, as well as Xian Xinghai and Nie Er. They all rushed to the country from the Pearl River."
Jim was stunned. Circle, he reached out and interrupted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I didn't understand a lot of what you just said." Uncle Qiu suddenly felt like a scumbag meets a scumbag, and he smiled. He smiled and comforted: "Don't be anxious, take your time, I'll explain it to you as you go." The two chatted until the evening, and Uncle Qiu also brought Jim back to Kang's house to visit the Xiguan House. "Jim, this is the big house in Xiguan you said you wanted to see. Isn't it beautiful?"
Jim nodded and was about to give a few compliments. When he saw Kang Qirui walking out of the living room, he quickly went up to say hello: "Professor, I didn't expect you to be here."
"Jim? Why are you here?" Kang Qirui looked at it. Uncle Qiu next to him suddenly realized: "Do you know him?"
Uncle Qiu nodded and said: "The new friend I met in the English corner today, Rui, do you know him too?"
"He is a foreign student in our school." Kang Qirui said to Uncle Qiu, then turned to Jim and emphasized: "You are not my student, you should call me Professor Kang."< br>
It is more cordial and familiar to call a professor directly, and usually only one's own students can call him that. Calling him Professor Kang seems more formal and distant. The same principle also applies to teachers, masters, etc. For example, calling someone a master means that you are a teacher and student; calling someone Master Chen and Master Li is an honorific title, and it cannot be said that you have a teacher-student relationship.
"Professor Kang, don't worry, I will definitely be admitted to your graduate school this year." Jim is very interested in ancient Chinese literature and ancient history. He has always wanted to take the exam for Kang Qirui's master's degree, but unfortunately he failed in two attempts. He didn't pass the exam in 2008 because his Chinese was really poor.
If you don’t even speak Chinese very well, how can you get admitted to a graduate degree in ancient literature? Kang Qirui couldn't say anything about this, so he could only say "Come on!" and send him out.
"Uncle Qiu, how did you feel about going to the English Corner today?" Kang Qirui returned to the living room and sat next to Uncle Qiu, asking him while pouring him tea.
“Very good, I taught Jim a lot of Chinese.” Uncle Qiu said happily.
The second sister-in-law also came to the living room at this time and said: "It doesn't matter how much you have taught others, the key is how much English you have learned."
"Yes. I also learned a lot of words." Uncle Qiu took a sip of tea and said, "Jim is very interested in our Chinese culture. He asked questions while walking, and I kept talking. I After he finished speaking, he translated it into English and taught it back to me. Not to mention, it was really fast to learn.”
Uncle Qiu spent a whole week learning from each other in Guangfu. Then on the Tomb Sweeping Day, I went back to the countryside with Mrs. Dou to worship our ancestors. After worshiping his ancestors, he had learned almost enough English and was able to get started easily. So on April 8th, he said goodbye to everyone and flew back to the United States.
With his current English level, he can barely understand the teachers at the training institution after returning to the United States. Coupled with the language environment there, I believe it will not take long for Uncle Qiu to speak fluent English.
After sending Uncle Qiu away, the next day happened to be the weekend, so the second brother suggested that the whole family go out for two days. Many of the Kang family members agreed as many of them had no family to go out to play. On Saturday, everyone went to a farmhouse to eat free-range chicken. After eating and drinking, everyone didn't want to move for a while, but sitting all the time was boring, so Sachiko suggested playing games to relieve boredom.
She took a wine bottle and put it on the table and said: "The name of this game is to tell the truth by spinning the bottle." She was about to demonstrate, but found that the bottle had no effect at all. When it couldn't be turned, he changed the spoon and said, "Who is this handle pointed at? You must answer the question raised by this person, and the person who answers the question must tell the truth."
Everyone is smart and immediately understood how the game was played. However, A Yao worriedly said: "It's easy to offend people if you tell the truth about everything?"
"Why are you afraid of telling the truth? If you tell the truth here, no one will take it to heart." Azu smiled and said nonchalantly. The second brother also said in agreement: "How can one of us be so stingy? Stop playing with the stingy one."
"Okay, okay, stop talking, let's get started. "Xingzi was the first to turn the spoon. This time it was Azu who asked Lao Dou. Azu smiled and said: "Old Dou, according to the rules, I am asking you, do you have any other women besides mother?"
The first question Azu asked was very exciting, and everyone was They all became curious. Old Dou was obviously not happy, "A man of this age is already an old man, and he still asks these inappropriate questions."
"Okay, okay, let's be more serious, Old Dou, do you think I am filial or not?" Huh?" Azu changed the question.
"It's crazy." Old Dou said.
Azu was not happy with what Lao Dou said, and he retorted: "What the fuck is that? I started a family as you said, and I even gave birth to a baby. Isn't that the twenty-four filial piety?"
Lao Dou snorted, and he had something to say, "You are a bad boy. You will contradict me no matter what I say. When I tell you to go to the East, you go to the West. I tell you to marry a girl from Guangfu. You married a ghost. I don’t know how worried you are." Seeing that his words were getting more and more outrageous, my mother quickly touched him with her hand to signal him to stop talking.
Diana looked obviously unnatural after hearing what Old Dou said. Azu defended Diana and said: "Old Dou, what's the problem with marrying a foreigner as your wife?"
Old Dou is a little bit Being drunk, he didn't notice Diana's face or her mother's hint at all, so she replied to Azu: "You still said it's no problem? Come up with a Sino-foreign joint venture for me. If it's neither foreign nor successful, I'll take a grandson out." Oh, people think I cheated on someone else’s son, which makes me lose face.”
"It's just that." When Azu wanted to refute, he was interrupted by Sachiko. She said, "Okay, okay, you have been asking the same question for so long and we don't have time to play anymore. Let's start the next round quickly." ." She was afraid that Azu and Lao Dou would continue to argue, so she quickly stopped them. (End of this chapter)
