"Mom, are you thinking about whether you want to follow me to read and learn Mandarin?" Cen Li pondered for a moment, then said, "Look, we are just mother and daughter now. I will go to junior high school in a few years.
When the time comes, you take me to report, what will you do if you don’t understand what the teacher and principal say?”
Cen Li knew that Huang Xiulan would only take it seriously if she told her about it.
"Yes, what you said makes sense." Sure enough, Huang Xiulan's expression immediately became serious.
She also thought about the scene where Zhang Junjie asked her today. If Zhang Junjie hadn't happened to be able to speak dialects, he wouldn't have been able to rent a house.
The more she thought about it, the more important she felt that Mandarin was important.
In the past, she only thought about being a good helper at home. She didn't have much interaction with outsiders. She was surrounded by sisters-in-law from the same village, so she didn't think too much.
But things are different now. My daughter has no father. She will be the mother to take care of everything in the future, especially when I heard that there will be parent-teacher conferences in junior high school. It will be too troublesome if she doesn't understand them.
However, when she thought of learning a new language, she flinched, "But Xiaoli, can someone like me, who hasn't even graduated from elementary school, be able to learn it?"
"You can definitely do it." Cen Li said affirmatively, "Mom, I'm only in the third grade of elementary school. If you follow me in the future, you will definitely learn it soon."
"Okay, then Mom will follow your example, Teacher Xiaoli." After making the decision, Huang Xiulan couldn't help but make a joke.
Huang Xiuli also felt that if Cenli, a child, had learned Mandarin so well in two or three years, how could she, an adult, be inferior to a child?
"Okay, Mom, let's start from today. Do you have anything else to do today?" Cen Li asked excitedly.
"Well, it's okay, let's get started." Huang Xiulan found that there were benefits after divorce, and there were really fewer things to do.
In the past, when Cen Mugen was at home, her cigarette butts, peels, and smelly socks were always thrown around. The floor was swept very quickly and became dirty. The house was always in a mess. She had endless work to do all day long.
At this moment, I feel really relaxed.
"Okay, Mom, then I'll start teaching you Pinyin. I'll give you this notebook for your use." Cen Li took out a Pinyin notebook and a pencil and handed them to Huang Xiulan.
Since Huang Xiulan decided to learn from her daughter, she didn't hesitate, just picked up the pen and started learning.
Cenli found the first-grade Chinese textbook and started teaching it from a, o, e, i, u, u.
First comes the pronunciation.
It was the first time for Huang Xiulan to learn these words, and she had trouble grasping the pronunciation. She couldn't pronounce them well at first.
But the advantage is that she is eager to learn and studies very seriously.
Huang Xiulan was a little embarrassed at first and struggled to read, but as she slowly got into the mood, she found learning quite interesting, and the more she learned, the more engaged she became.
After Huang Xiulan basically mastered the pronunciation, Cen Li asked her to learn writing.
As for herself, she took out her math paper and started working on it.
For a moment, the room became quiet, and there was only the rustling sound of mother and daughter writing hard, which was very warm.
After Cen Li easily solved the entire mathematics booklet, Huang Xiulan also completed the writing task.
Cen Li acted as a little teacher to correct Huang Xiulan's homework, and patiently pointed out to her the things that were not good or wrong in her writing.
When Huang Xiulan corrected herself, she couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that studying is so difficult. Mom won't dare to say that you can study easily again."
"Mom works hard too. You have worked hard all these years. I love you!" Cen Li hugged Huang Xiulan's arm and acted coquettishly.
