Pick up a president's bun

When Da Zhuang found out the book, Xiao Man saw it, and his eyes widened in surprise.

The book is very old, but it is well wrapped in kraft paper. It can be seen that the owner cherishes it.

The key point is that this book turned out to be an abbreviated version of "Gone with the Wind". Although it is not as obscure as the original, it has many authentic English expressions and long and difficult sentences. down.

"Is this a book your mother read before?"

Da Zhuang had never learned English, so he couldn't tell the difference.In Da Zhuang's cognition, this is just an idle book for his mother to read when she has nothing to do, and it is no different from her usual needlework.Because his mother is in poor health and has a quiet personality, her favorite thing is reading, so his father obeys his mother, and when he goes to the town or has the opportunity to go to the city, he will go to the second-hand bookstore and buy some second-hand books. , for his mother to watch for entertainment when she has nothing to do.This abbreviated version of "Gone with the Wind" is an old book that was found. The original owner of the book probably only read the beginning, because there are ugly ballpoint pen traces in the first ten or so pages, and the back is brand new.This book is considered to be the most favorite of his mother's old books. Da Zhuang remembers that when his mother was still there, he would hold this book and read it for a while every day, and then fell asleep.

Xiaoman frowned slightly, and asked again: "Did your mother teach you a little English? I remember last time you said that when you came home from the village, your mother said that she would teach you culture. Didn't she teach you some English?" ?”

"No. My mother taught me to recognize our Chinese characters. She taught me "San Zi Jing" and "Children's Learning Qiong Lin", and later "Gu Wen Guan Zhi". , can memorize more than some high school students in the village. Even if I don’t understand English, let alone read this kind of book, I don’t even know any of the foreign characters in this book. My father joked that the book my mother read is like a heavenly book!"

An inexplicable feeling surged in Xiaoman's heart, and there was some faint indignation towards Da Zhuang Niang: All mothers do not want their children to do well, Da Zhuang Niang is very good at English, and she must know that mastering a foreign language is beneficial to a How important a person's future is, but she didn't teach it to Da Zhuang, who doesn't even know the English alphabet!

Xiaoman's thoughts were led away again: I'm really curious, what kind of woman is Da Zhuang Niang, and what kind of mood is she in?She herself is full of poetry and books, is good at cooking and can speak foreign languages, and looks extremely beautiful in the portraits. Why is she willing to nest in this small mountain village and spend the rest of her life with Da Zhuang's impotent father?Not only that, but she even wants Da Zhuang to live like this for the rest of her life, and before she dies, she tells Da Zhuang to stay in this small mountain village and not to go out to work. According to her words, "the people outside are very bad."How bad is it, what did that person, or those people, do to her?

It's just that the deceased has passed away, and the secret has been brought to the grave. Although Xiaoman is full of curiosity and sympathy, there is nothing he can do, so let's do what he can do instead!

Xiao Man first listed the upper and lower case of the 26 English letters, neatly wrote them on two pieces of white paper, and began to teach Da Zhuang how to recognize them.

Da Zhuang has only started learning foreign languages ​​at the age of 22. Naturally, he is not as open-minded as those who started learning at the age of six, seven or ten. In addition, his pronunciation is difficult to pronounce. His lip movements are exaggerated and awkward when he learns English with Xiao Man. Xiaoman couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.

Da Zhuang felt embarrassed in front of Xiao Man after learning so stumblingly, and begged, "Xiao Man, can we learn from someone else? Foreign devils talk in a weird way, I really can't learn it."

Xiaoman hurriedly corrected his face and said: "If you can't learn it, you have to learn it. To be a person, you need to be self-motivated. If you want to go to evening school to learn correspondence, you can mix with other cultural courses, but English can't be mixed. Also, English is more important than other subjects. If you apply for a job in a company, you may be asked to introduce yourself in both Chinese and English. If you don’t know English, you will be at a disadvantage. Even if you don’t plan to go to work and want to do it yourself, English is still useful. , you go abroad to introduce advanced technology or management experience, and you have to negotiate and cooperate with foreigners, you can’t do it alone, you still have to know it yourself..."

Xiaoman Balabala talked a lot, and he had no choice but to accept his fate and continue learning. After a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a bitter face: "Oh, Xiaoman, I really don't know the material for this. Tongue speaking posture, I..."

Xiaoman said firmly: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. It will be difficult at the beginning. I survived like this back then. Speaking of which, you are very lucky. Most people learn English, either by taking a big class at school, or by driving on weekends. What kind of boutique small class in the training class outside, isn't there [-] people together? Look at you, I only teach you one person, the standard is one-on-one, and your tuition fee is not charged, and the attitude is so amiable, why don't you study hard? "

Da Zhuang had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Okay, I will study hard."

Although Xiaoman can speak English well, he is not a teacher at all, and it is the most elementary stage, which is inevitably very boring. Since Da Zhuang promised Xiaoman to study hard, despite various discomforts, he still bites his pen and struggles Reading, reading, and writing, Xiaoman felt very relieved, touched his big head, and said encouragingly: "Keep going, as long as you study hard, in three months, I guarantee you can reach the English level of high school graduates." .”

Da Zhuang's eyes lit up when he heard it, people, who doesn't want to learn more skills so that they can go to higher places in the future?Since it was Xiao Man's painstaking efforts, Da Zhuang naturally had to go all out.

It was almost eleven o'clock in this study, Xiaoman was tired, yawned, and said, "Let's stop here today, you have studied for three hours, and it's almost done."

In three hours, Da Zhuang has basically memorized 26 letters, and is clumsily learning a few common greetings like hello and howdoyoudo.Hearing what Xiaoman said, he said without looking back: "I'm not familiar with it yet, I'll recite it before going to sleep. You go to bed and rest first."

When Da Zhuang finished his studies and ran over, Xiao Man could hardly keep his eyes open, and muttered, "You just finished your studies?"

Da Zhuang patted him and said, "Don't sleep, I haven't applied medicine to burn your feet yet!"

Xiaoman was a little irritable when he was woken up from a sleepy sleep, but his feet were soaked and rubbed by Da Zhuang in the hot water that smelled of medicine. His mood improved and he woke up from his doze. Black and thick hair on Zhuang's drooping head, thinking that he is busy outside and inside, and he will be forced to learn a foreign language when he gets home. Although it is for his own good, it is hard enough for him, Xiaoman I couldn't help being moved with pity, and said: "You worked hard today, and I will reward you later."

What reward can Xiao Man have, it is nothing more than rubbing the "grass rope" for Da Zhuang to make him feel good.Normally, Da Zhuang would have liked it so much that he would lean forward to enjoy the service of Xiaoman's delicate hands, but today is not the case, he didn't move for a long time, and he looked a little bit dispirited, Xiaoman thought he was When you are tired from studying and studying, you say: "Tired today? Can't play anymore? Hehe, you also have times when you are tired. It seems that you are always as hard as iron, and you are tireless!"

Da Zhuang suddenly stretched out his arm and touched Xiao Man's flexible waist, lingering ambiguously.

Xiao Man pushed him and said, "What are you doing? Do you want to rub? If you don't rub, I'll fall asleep!"

Da Zhuang hesitated for a while, then his fiery palm finally landed on Xiao Man's upturned buttocks, and he squeezed boldly.

Xiao Man was taken aback. Although the two of them comforted each other, they couldn't let go of their face. Da Zhuang had never acted like Meng Lang with obvious desire | intentions.

Xiao Man sternly said, "What are you doing?"

As long as Xiaoman's complexion is not good, Da Zhuang has always been cowardly, but this time is an exception, his eyes shone faintly in the darkness, and he said firmly: "Xiaoman, you said it yourself, you want to Be my daughter-in-law, and you said you would give me a reward, I don’t want other rewards, I want you to be my daughter-in-law, have a real dish, don’t rub it.”

Xiao Man stared at him and said, "Are you trying to kill me? My injury is not healed yet!"

Da Zhuang cocked his neck and said, "I asked Dr. Liu today, and he said, your injury doesn't affect anything, that is, let's have sex and do that. As long as you don't touch the injury."

Xiao Man became furious, punched Da Zhuang's chest with his fist, and said angrily: "You actually told others about this! You are not shy! I can't see that you are so thick-skinned!"

Da Zhuang let Xiao Man beat himself, and said aggrievedly: "What shame is there to sleep with your own wife? Ask Dr. Liu, is it because he is afraid of hurting you? He gave me two ointments, one before and one after. Yes, I also said that as long as the before and after events are done properly, you won’t be in too much pain, and if you do it more often, you will still like it a lot.”

Xiaoman didn't bother to hit him anymore, so he wailed, turned over, buried his face in the pillow, and said, "It's over, my famous name..."

Da Zhuang also came over with Xiao Man, touched his butt, reminded him kindly, and said, "Doctor Liu said, let's come from the front for the first time. Although I feel good doing it on my stomach, I'm afraid of collisions." It's so hard, the wound on your chest will hurt on the bed, it's better if you turn over and lie flat, and I'll put your legs on my shoulders..."

Xiaoman was about to die of anger from the vivid technical guidance beforehand, and said angrily: "What kind of doctor is this, nonsense! I'm not well yet, so I can't do it now."

Da Zhuang suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and said angrily: "The doctor said it's okay. Xiaoman..."

This "Xiaoman" yelled nine twists and eighteen turns, and Xiaoman was speechless. Facing Da Zhuang's grievances, he himself felt a little wronged, how could this happen!

Xiao Man muttered, "What have you told him? Why does he even teach you about posture? Also, what kind of doctor is he, does he have any humanitarian spirit? How can any patient be sick before he recovers? Want to force the patient to have sex? No, you can’t listen to him, you have to listen to me.”

Da Zhuang called out pitifully: "Daughter-in-law, obviously you promised me, I really want to..."

Xiaoman said domineeringly: "Now I give you a chance to cash in the reward, do you still want to rub it? Go to sleep if you don't rub it!"

Da Zhuang flattened his mouth and said, "Don't rub!"

Xiaoman flicked his wrist and said, "That's just right, I'm too lazy to get tired. Okay, sleep!"

Da Zhuang turned his back and went to sleep without saying a word.

Xiao Man stared at his broad shoulders like a mountain, thinking: Hey, are you seriously angry with me?

However, Xiao Man still likes Da Zhuang after all, and he couldn't bear to be wronged by him, and he couldn't bear to make him hold back, so he thought of a compromise.

Xiao Man patted Da Zhuang's shoulder, which was facing away from him, and said, "If you say you are fat, you will pant. Are you still angry?"

Da Zhuang said sullenly: "Your words don't count."

Xiaoman gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this time I mean what I say. You study English hard every day, and if you do well in a day, one reward will be counted as a reward, which can be rubbed once for you, or you can save it up, and ten rewards can be exchanged for one big reward." The reward, the big reward is, well, I... will really be your daughter-in-law once."
