"My son and Bingyue went to Beijing to participate in a competition together. They are good friends and came here specially to see her this time. What do you call me, kid?"
When the little boy heard what the middle-aged man said, he smiled and said, "My name is Li Xiaobao. If you go forward, the fifth house you see is their house. There is a big locust tree in front of the door."
"Okay, thank you, this is a thank you gift for you."
The middle-aged man gave Li Xiaobao five white rabbit toffees, which made him smile and narrow his eyes.
The middle-aged man returned to the car and drove forward according to the instructions. After all, there were gifts in the car, and they soon arrived at the place Li Xiaobao described.
Murong Jinhua quickly got out of the car and knocked on the courtyard door. When Liu Xuemei heard the knock on the door, she looked at the old lady who was doing needlework together and asked in confusion: "Who is coming now?"
"You won't know until you go out and take a look. I can't guess it either."
Hearing what the old lady said, Liu Xuemei put down her work and went out to open the courtyard door. I saw a well-matched middle-aged man and woman, and a young boy.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Auntie, I'm here to see Shui Bingyue. My name is Murong Jinhua. We participated in competitions together before. We met by chance in the city on the third day of junior high school. She said she welcomes me to be her guest."
Liu Yumei nodded: "Then you come in. What do you call the eldest brother and eldest sister?"
"My name is Murong Yunhai, and my wife's name is Wang Lihua. If you come here rashly, you won't be intrusive."
"I'm very happy that you can come to our place. Our Bingyue family doesn't have many friends, and she only focuses on studying. You guys sit in the main room, and I'll call her over."
After Liu Xuemei settled the guests, she went to Shen Dongsheng's room and called Shui Bingyue out.
Shui Bingyue was a little surprised when she heard her mother's description. After all, she and Murong Jinhua originally said they would come back when the weather improved. The weather is still very cold now.
The two quickly arrived at the main room. Because it was warm in the room, Shui Bingyue wore a thin jacket with white flowers and a slanted front made by her grandmother. She didn't know how to comb her hair, so she only tied a small braid on the back of her head.
When the mother and daughter entered the main room together, Murong Jinhua, who was sitting by the fire bed, waved to Shui Bingyue with a bright smile.
Shui Bingyue greeted Murong Yunhai and Wang Lihua politely: "Hello, uncle Murong, hello aunt."
When Wang Lihua approached the little girl, she took her hand and looked at her carefully.
Then he smiled and praised: "Bingyue is so handsome. Her little face is as tender as a peeled egg. Sister, I am so lucky."
Liu Xuemei and her guests sat down across the kang table and complimented each other: "Your Jinhua is so handsome. She is tall and has long legs, and she is born with a good sense of clothes."
Wang Lihua pointed to the gift on the kang table and said warmly: "This is a gift prepared by Yun Hai and I. I hope eldest sister can accept it."
"That won't work. There will be no reward and no reward. If you come all the way, I will treat you warmly without these false courtesy."
At this time Murong Yunhai spoke: "Sister, it's like this. Lihua and I are busy with work and have no time to care about Jinhua.
When we met last time, I heard that Bingyue was learning a foreign language from her teacher. Can Jinhua learn it with her?
We are willing to pay tuition, accommodation, and food expenses. I just want to give my children a good learning environment. "
Liu Xuemei waved her hand: "I can't make the decision on this matter. It mainly depends on Mr. Shen's wishes. Bingyue, go and ask for help."
Shui Bingyue nodded, turned around and went out to find Shen Dongsheng. Shen Dongsheng nodded after listening to the little girl's words: "I want to go out and meet this family first."
"Of course, it's Master's freedom how to do it."
The two of them entered the main room one after another. When Murong Yunhai saw Shen Dongsheng at first sight, he felt that he was very elegant and had the temperament of a scholar.
Liu Xuemei stood up, gave up her seat to Shen Dongsheng, and sat on the chair next to her daughter.
Shen Dongsheng spoke directly: "I am a decentralized personnel. I think you two are both rich and noble. Do you really want your children to learn from me?"
Murong Yunhai told the truth: "Actually, many people have been rehabilitated now. I see that your eyes are clear and you are very dignified. If you are interested, I am willing to do my part to rehabilitate you."
"Then let me tell the truth, I teach foreign languages, just the basics, and my main purpose is to teach Bingyue, based on her progress.
As for the issue of redress you mentioned, I know the crux of the problem and it cannot be solved by ordinary people. You'd better follow the rules and give tuition or food. "
Everyone is smart. Murong Yunhai knew that Shen Dongsheng didn't want him to get involved in the matter of redress, so he brought up the issue of tuition fees.
Then they paid the fee directly, and after lunch at Shui's house, the couple left their son's luggage and left in style.
Shui Bingyue saw Murong Jinhua's smile almost reaching her ears, and asked doubtfully: "Can you stay in a strange place and be so happy?"
"You don't understand. The time my parents can spend with me is limited. I still like to be alone."
Shui Bokang looked at the eldest brother who suddenly moved in. He was friends with his aunt, and called out: "Hello, Uncle Murong."
Murong Jinhua, who was drinking water, suddenly choked: "Bingyue, why did he call me uncle?"
"Bokang is my eldest brother's child. He asked me to call him aunt. He thought you and I were friends, so he put us in the same generation."
Murong Jinhua took out his handkerchief and slowly wiped away the sprayed water stains, and then said slowly: "I am the youngest in our family, and I was a little uncomfortable being called uncle all of a sudden."
Shui Bokang didn't show it on his face, but secretly rolled his eyes in his heart. If he didn't call him uncle, he should ask his aunt to call him aunt.
After the lunch break, Shui Bingyue led Shui Bokang and Murong Jinhua to Shen Dongsheng's room.
The four of them sat together at the kang table, and Shen Dongsheng spoke: "We have new students joining us today. Fortunately, we have just started learning French, so we will start from the beginning and review what you have learned."
This was the first time Murong Jinhua came into contact with French. He heard Mr. Shen talk about the importance of French. More than 50 countries in the world use French as their official language.
I feel it is really necessary to learn. He has a dream to be a diplomat and travel around the world.
Both his parents are good at English, and he has no regrets about missing out on English tutoring. But when he saw that the French letters and the English letters were the same, but the pronunciations were different, it was still confusing.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. He took notes to learn the pronunciation Mr. Shen said and practiced it carefully.
Then he discovered that this little guy Shui Bokang had learned very well. He also needs to learn from the little guy sometimes. Is it possible that the earlier you are exposed to a foreign language, the faster you will learn it?
In fact, language learning is really about talent.
