() Although Chongshan boasted 160,000 international tourists every year in 1996, the average stay was only more than a day. Most foreign tourists passed by in a flash, taking a boat to visit the Three Gorges, and taking a bus to Chengrong to enter Tibet.
.
In later generations, foreigners of all colors on the streets of Chongshan have become accustomed to it. However, in the eyes of Chongshan people these days, foreigners are a real rarity. Especially in the dirty and messy Nanjiang District bus station, it is the natural instinct of Chinese people to watch the excitement.
, it is not surprising that it aroused the enthusiasm of the people.
The two foreigners in front of him were a man and a woman. Lu Yang naturally observed the woman at first sight. Men are naturally born!
The foreign girl with long blond hair and fair skin not far away looks good with her slender and rare back. Unfortunately, if you look closely, you will see that although she has a high nose bridge and blue eyes, her face is deep and three-dimensional, which is particularly obvious.
There are more points deducted for freckles. From Lu Yang’s perspective, who has admired x-art, he can barely get five points.
The morning shower in Chongshan had just stopped, but the sunshine was a little dazzling.
At this time, the foreign girl was not only wearing sunglasses, but also wearing ultra-short denim shorts, revealing a pair of dazzling white thighs, and a bikini-style underwear under her shirt. The whole dress style was quite shocking in this era. No wonder there were many onlookers.
The shirtless man shook his cattail leaf fan with his eyes wide open.
As for another fat foreigner with short curly black hair, a hook nose, a long chin, black eyes, and glasses, he is half a head shorter than the foreign girl. He is wearing a gray and white plaid short-sleeved shirt and baggy casual shorts, with his back
Wearing a backpack looks very student-like, but this kind of clothing is rare in these days.
If this kind of thing happened in his previous life, Lu Yang would of course glance at Liao Li next to him, or at most just look at him from a distance, and then quietly disappear from the public.
Of course he would not miss this opportunity to practice English for free now. Lu Yang pulled Liao Li and walked over with a smile, but before he could step forward, the crowd started to stir.
Domestic public servants are always much more hospitable to foreign guests than to their real masters. At this time, two fat uncles from the civil servants who were sweating profusely ran over and shouted loudly to separate the crowd of people watching the excitement.
However, very few people's servants can understand foreign languages these days. The two servants, who spoke Mandarin with a heavy mountain accent, salt and pepper, had smiles on their faces. They tried hard to understand the needs of the foreign guests, but they couldn't understand them due to poor communication.
Surprisingly, the fat foreigner could speak a few Chinese dialects, but he would click on words like "啷啷啷啷啷咷啷" over and over again. He couldn't tell where he was going. The foreigner girl next to him was also a little anxious at this time. He was originally stern.
His face became even more smelly.
The two policemen were anxious when a smiling boy appeared behind them.
"Hi, mayi help you?"
Lu Yang was never a genius in English. A year later, Lu Yang's pronunciation was still terrible, but his mentality was completely different.
Anyway, Ah San dared to speak with such poor pronunciation, so what did he have to be afraid of?
"oh!" bhisismichel."
The fat foreigner named Michael quickly made an introduction, and then started to explain the purpose of the two people while sweating profusely.
It's just Lu Yang's current English level. Although he has watched a lot of American TV series, he found that the understanding of such fast dialogue in real life is completely different from reading subtitles, so he had to remind the other party "slowly" several times.
At this time, the two civil servants were very sensible, smiling and maintaining order on the outside, not letting the onlookers disturb the outstanding student representatives of Chongshan who were communicating with foreign guests.
With great difficulty, Lu Yang used his limited English to communicate with Michael and finally understood the background of the two of them.
It turns out that the fat foreigner Michael is a representative of some kind of "Sgetva" foundation, and the always arrogant girl Michelle is here for a graduation trip, and the two of them have to go to No. 7 Middle School for something else.
"e."
Lu Yang explained, and then pulled Liao Li, who was just smiling, towards the bus.
"Oh, godbless!"
Michael looked very happy and walked to Lu Yang while mumbling, smiling sweetly at him, but the fat face full of flesh made people speechless.
"thanks."
Michelle, who had been silent all this time, walked up to Lu Yang and thanked me in a low voice for not letting God do it for me.ind."
Lu Yang realized that Michelle had a cold-faced and warm-hearted personality, so he turned around and smiled and subconsciously said a line that sounded like something from an American TV series.
Michelle was stunned for a moment and looked up at the oriental boy who introduced himself as Road. His eyes were a bit uneasy, complicated and deep, which made her, who has a quiet personality, feel uncomfortable at first sight.
This Oriental boy just said that English is obviously not very good in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary, but he actually knows spoken phrases that are definitely not in textbooks.
odd!
On the bus heading to No. 7 Middle School, there were many students going to get their scores. Together with their parents, they looked with admiration at the young man in the back seat who was chatting freely with foreigners.
Although the English pronunciation feels very ordinary, people dare to say it!
"wow!"
"Oh, godbless!"
Michael is a talkative guy. He was bored to death at the bus stop just now. Nowadays, it is rare for a Chinese boy to chat with him easily. He can't stop talking when he starts talking, and he keeps saying praises, completely ignoring the people around him.
The look in the lady's eyes revealed everything about herself and Michelle.
This Chinese boy named Road is very special. Although the pronunciation and vocabulary of the other party are not good in English, he occasionally comes up with a lot of spoken English words that are impossible to say in the mouths of Chinese people who speak English very well. It is very annoying.
It's a surprise.
What's more, Road knows so much, Michael was especially surprised to chat with him about the NBA. He is a loyal fan of Jordan. This kid is familiar with the stars of the United Center and the Bulls, and he likes them all. rs. Helene, bye!"
Soon the bus arrived at the stop. Lu Yang and Liao Li, who was bored along the way, waved goodbye to Logan and Helena who were reluctant to leave, and turned to look at the business card given by the other party.
Fat Michael Logan graduated from college several years ago. After graduation, he started traveling around the world. Last year, he went to China. A friend introduced him to the Chongshan Office of the Stilwell Foundation as a representative.
‘Beauty’ Michelle Helena is a Swedish-American who just graduated from college and came to China to travel. She met Logan through the Stilwell Foundation.
As for the two coming to Chongshan No. 7 Middle School, it turned out that Helena was introduced by a friend and planned to come to No. 7 Middle School today to interview as an English teacher for one year.
Logan volunteered to be a flower protector, but his car broke down and he was supposed to take a taxi, but Helena wanted to experience the feeling of taking a bus on a heavy mountain.
Unexpectedly, Logan's Chinese was not as good as he boasted. As a result, the two of them failed to ask for directions, but they were surrounded by people.
Lu Yang didn't pay much attention to this incident. He just lamented that No. 7 Middle School was No. 7 Middle School and the conditions for learning English were unparalleled.
In these days, except for a few privately-run so-called aristocratic schools, top middle schools such as No. 129 in Chongshan have at most one or two foreign teachers. However, No. 7 Middle School is said to have nearly ten. Even though they change frequently, it is still very impressive.
Helena was relatively shy and looked arrogant. Later she became less restrained and chatted a few words. Her words were indeed deeper than Logan's.
Chongshan Middle School officially had a holiday yesterday, and the beautiful campus of No. 7 Middle School was now empty.
Different from the worried expressions of many students' parents, Lu Yang's mentality was very relaxed. Anyway, high school was on vacation at this time, so it was impossible to meet Jiang Yuan.
Liao Li played the role of acting parent today. She and Lu Yang finally felt that she was a little older. She happily took her to the academic office and asked the teacher in charge to get her report card. In addition to the results notice from the Municipal Education Commission, there was also one from No. 7 Middle School.
Your own speaking and listening scores.
There was a score line on the blackboard outside the door of the academic office. Liao Li was much more positive than Lu Yang. She took the transcript and rushed outside to compare.
Lu Yang scored 293 points in the third subject, and his English speaking and listening scores were only in the second grade of No. 7 Middle School. He had to pay a high price to attend No. 7 Middle School.
"How could it be second gear? I'll ask the teacher!"
Liao Li couldn't believe it. She angrily took the transcript and wanted to go back to the theory.
"Second gear, second gear, let's go back."
Lu Yang had a calm expression on his face and reached out to hold Liao Li. He didn't attach too much importance to this. What he felt in his heart was that talent and hard work are both important in learning.
This year, Lu Yang was naturally not fully committed to his studies, but he was serious about it. His current score of 293 in three subjects was already good, but those who took the exam for No. 7 Middle School were not weak.
If I don’t open up the gap, and my English speaking and listening skills are compromised, and I’m not strong in the first place, I’m afraid it’s Chen Zhiming who helped me fall into the second gear.
In his previous life, Lu Yang took the college entrance examination and scored 421 points in four subjects including English, 90 points in Chinese, and 331 points in three subjects: mathematics, physics and chemistry.
This time, Lu Yang is confident that he can get above 400 points in the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry. He has set a goal of more than 220 points for Chinese and English. With this plus his sports performance, it should not be difficult for him to get into the top universities in the country.
You don’t need to devote all your energy to learning.
It's just not enough...
Lu Yang sighed secretly in his heart. He felt extremely stressed when he thought of the name Harvard. Jiang Yuan's beautiful face that looked both angry and happy seemed to be covered with a layer of fog. She could only vaguely see it, but it seemed that she might not be able to touch it.
Compared with Jiang Yuan's unreachable mountain, the setbacks in the Junior Joint Entrance Examination are nothing at all.
It was almost noon when she got the transcript. Liao Li was in a bad mood, but she still had to take good care of Lu Yang for dinner. The two of them took a taxi to Tushan Town for dinner this time. She ordered a table full of food and beer to comfort Lu Yang.
.
Of course Lu Yang was not unhappy. Instead, he smiled and greeted Liao Li, who had a bad appetite, for dinner while looking at the small town not far from Tushan Lake.
At that time, this was the territory of foreign colonists, so many churches and old buildings were left behind.
The gate of No. 5 Middle School can be seen in the distance opposite the shop, but Jiang Ling is still lying on the hospital bed to rest. She was hit hard by the wings and frightened, so she needs to rest quietly.
The princess's parents were also frightened, and seemed to have sent her directly to her grandfather's house.
Zou Mengyuan, Liu Xi, and Deng Tianshan were all recovering in the hospital because they were seriously injured because they were the main force in the resistance that night.
Yesterday, Lu Yang was forced by his mother to get his diploma. On his last day at the children's school, many classmates didn't see him. Even Zhao Guohui looked stupid!"
There was a shout outside the shop, and the excited smiling faces of Logan and Helena appeared at the door.
Lu Yang came back to his senses and greeted the two of them with a smile to come in and have dinner together. Then he learned that Helena had successfully passed the interview at No. 7 Middle School and quickly congratulated her.
Logan and Helena knew that Road had also taken the admissions exam for No. 7 Middle School. They both asked about it, and Lu Yang naturally casually said that he passed.
Not to mention paying money, even if Lu Yang didn't get into the No. 7 Middle School, Lu Yang would use his connections to get in. You can't escape this at all in China, and there is no need to be taboo.
Then Logan's big mouth revealed that Helena was looking for a house in Tushan Town. Lu Yang was moved in his heart. Pang Panghai's farmhouse could be rented for a long time, so he casually introduced it.
Logan smiled and asked Road if he had any plans for the summer vacation. He said that his foundation was recruiting work-study students during the summer vacation.
Lu Yang was naturally not interested. He was going back to Yaoquan in a few days, so he told him immediately.
When Logan heard Road introduce Yaoquan as a beautiful village with many hot springs, his eyes lit up and he said that he had a week's vacation, and Helena didn't need to rush to find a house to live.
"road, there is really beautiful?"
iful!"
Lu Yang nodded and had a drink with Logan, and then looked at Helena with a smile. He naturally understood that the fat man had an agenda.
