Everyone walked to the cooking place together. Wenxi followed Li Yu, still trying to persuade him.
However, after walking under the awning, Li Yu still didn't nod in agreement.
Put your things away and go to the sink to wash your hands and wipe your face. A row of pools were built around the site and connected to water pipes for the cooks to wash things.
Tao Huayu and Yue Cheng took the opportunity to wash a basin of peaches and take them back. They all sat under the awning to take a nap, drink water and eat some snacks.
Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi brought a few extra folding chairs, just in case others wanted to come and sit. Now they are just for Shen Nian'an and his son.
Liu Wangxue took out snacks for cats and dogs. Youyou and Jinghe volunteered to take on the task, each feeding one.
Along the way, everyone kept an ear and understood what kind of help Wenxi wanted to ask Li Yu for.
Tao Huayu is the one who has spent the most time with Li Yu among this group of people, so he also knows Li Yu best.
Li Yu, probably, has a low self-esteem because of his experiences from childhood to adulthood. When I met something I really liked, I slowly changed a little after I went to college.
Although Tao Huayu is a poor student, he also knows how difficult the CET-4 and CET-6 exams are - it is difficult for him to pass the exam. CET-4 is taken every year and costs more than 200 times, let alone CET-6. The door has not been touched.
Therefore, when he learned that Li Yu scored 680 in the sixth-level exam, his jaw dropped. The halo of a top student blinded him for the second time - the first time was Xu Qingsong.
Li Yu likes to eat crisp peaches, so Tao Huayu handed him the peeled one and helped Wen Xi persuade him.
In fact, what Li Yu needs most is encouragement and affirmation, not from others, but from himself.
Because of his low self-esteem, he works hard at everything he does and wants to be recognized by the people around him. But once others give praise, he is worried that he will not do well next and will be disappointed.
Because of his low self-esteem, he is not very good at dealing with others. He will only talk eloquently when talking about his major. Once the topic changes to other topics, he will retreat into his own shell.
He has always been worried about Lao Li, fearing that he would be bullied after he entered the society. Therefore, starting from his freshman year, every winter and summer vacation, he asked Li Yu to follow his engineering team to the construction site. Firstly, it is for practical learning, and secondly, I want him to interact with more people.
Lao Li fought hard with Tao Huayu to do the design for Liu Wangxue's house. Thinking that Tao Huayu said he was helping an acquaintance, he asked him to do it as a favor. For the projects he took on, they all hired designers, and they looked down upon his son, who had not yet graduated from college.
After three years of experience, Li Yu also learned some skills in home decoration design, and Lao Li wanted to give him a chance to try it out.
It doesn't take much effort to draw the design drawings for Liu Wangxue. He also knew the reason why his father did this, but he didn't expect Liu Wangxue's family to be willing to use him. So, he took it upon himself to give the miniature garden to Liu Wangxue.
What was even more unexpected was that Liu Wangxue liked it very much and even transferred extra money to him. At that time, he thought Liu Wangxue had made a mistake. After confirming that it was for him, he was so frightened that he quickly sent a screenshot to Tao Huayu, feeling very overwhelmed.
After being enlightened by Tao Huayu for a while, he accepted it, feeling both happy and terrified.
But he never expected that just giving out a course assignment would trigger so many things today.
Li Yu knew about Porcelain, an internationally renowned brand. He also understood what a great honor it was for his design to be liked by Joshua, something he could not even dream of.
So he felt that he couldn't agree to Wenxi. His English pronunciation was very poor, and it would be embarrassing to speak. And he didn't want to make others unhappy because of his personality, thus having a negative impact on Wenxi.
Li Yu would not agree to Du Yunkai's invitation. Firstly, he had never been exposed to related fields; secondly, he felt that Du Yunkai did not sincerely invite him, and felt like he was deliberately competing with Wenxi.
Li Yu had a baby face and mechanically gnawed on the peach, sighing one after another in his heart, but everyone around him was trying to persuade him.
Yue Cheng didn't understand what Li Yu had to worry about. He had already heard Tao Huayu talk about Li Yu's CET-6 score: "There's nothing to worry about. You got such a high score in the CET-6 exam. Isn't it just talking? You’ve learned everything, but you still can’t speak out?”
It was Tao Huayu who hit the point directly: "Think about your dad. In the past few years, he has been working on large and small projects. For whom, not you. First, he wants to teach you something, and second, he wants to give you something. Find opportunities to exercise.
Now that you have such a good opportunity in front of you, why should you give up because you are not confident in your English proficiency? Don't you think it's a pity? Anyway, if I had your ability, I would have to follow you even if you are shameless.
If you perform well and leave a good impression on the young master who just throws it away, you will have a bright future and money. "
He knew this brand. The little girl in the store had been eating rubbish for several months, claiming to be losing weight just to buy one of their bags. I really don’t understand, can a bag smell like rice?
Li Yu was slightly shaken after hearing Tao Huayu's words. His father is the one who hopes that he can grow up the most, and also hopes that he can take over the engineering team.
Li Yu glanced at Wen Xi, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Well, my high score is just false. My hearing and speaking are very poor, and my accent is also very serious." He was often laughed at by his classmates in English class. It made him very nervous when he started English class.
When Shen Nian'an saw this baby-faced boy talking about being troubled by his accent, he remembered his old self and said with a smile: "Accent is actually not a problem." He then said something in English , asked Li Yu: "Do you think I have an accent?"
Li Yu nodded and shook his head: "It seems similar to the one in the M drama I watched, but it's a little different."
Shen Nian'an added: "To tell you the truth, I have felt inferior because of my accent before. In ordinary rural areas or small towns like ours, the teaching staff is already weak, and the qualifications of the English teachers themselves are not very good.
I didn’t learn English at all when I was in elementary school. I didn’t start learning English until I passed the exam in middle school in the town. The English teacher in the class at that time couldn't even figure out the pronunciation of 'there're' and 'they', so he either used them interchangeably or the other way around, and always said 'he' as 'Hey'.
You can imagine what I learned in the end. After I went to a big city for college, I was often laughed at. I practiced hard for a long time and even saved money to enroll in pronunciation training classes. But the results are not ideal.
Later, I learned about a term called "language petrification", which means that in the process of second language acquisition, we maintain wrong habits for too long, making it difficult to correct them. "
Li Yu listened to Shen Nian'an's words and nodded crazily in his heart: Me too! Exactly like me!
Seeing Shen Nian'an pause, he immediately asked: "What happens next?"
