As soon as I walked into the campus gate, a male classmate with a three-quarter-length hairstyle ran out.
The male classmate was carrying a plastic food bag with steamed buns in his hand. He did not hide the excited gossip expression on his face at all. He was afraid of missing the excitement outside the campus and trotted quickly.
"Long, time, no, see." (Long time no see.) When the male classmate saw Chu Jiu walking into the campus, he braked suddenly, patted Chu Jiu on the shoulder with a smile, said something in Chinese English, and then looked at him proudly.
The ninth day of the lunar month.
"You, see, see, you, one, day, day, just, only, eat, eat!" (Look at you, you know how to eat every day.) Chu Jiu rolled his eyes, and then spoke in English
answer.
At this moment, I silently moved a few steps to the side to distance myself from Chujiu, for fear that people around me would find out that I knew him.
This guy doesn't know how to be embarrassed at all. He can say this sentence so loudly and proudly that everyone around him can hear it.
"You, me, you, me." The male classmate laughed and said this, saying that he would go back to the dormitory later to chat with Chujiu, otherwise he would not be able to watch the excitement outside.
After walking for a long time, I figured out that the words of my roommates in the ninth grade of junior high school actually meant "each other."
On the way from the school gate to my dormitory, I heard a lot of Chinglish conversations like this.
Two boys had their arms around each other, and one of them said: "We, are, brothers, who, and, who, ah!" (Who among us brothers is following whom!)
Even on the playground, a boy held a bouquet of flowers and confessed loudly to the shy girl: "first, see, you, i, shit, love, you."
Falling in love with you.)
"Jiujiu, are you sure I only left school for half a month? Are all the students in our school crazy?"
Everything familiar on campus is still there, even the cigarette butts that Zhang Feng threw under the roots of the trees next to the playground are still there, but I feel like I am in another world.
It seems that all the students are particularly keen on this kind of Chinglish. It can be seen from the expressions on their faces that these golden sentences have been circulated in the school for more than one day.
"Guo Guo, this is great. For the first time, I feel like I can understand all English."
In the ninth grade of junior high school, I couldn't hide my happiness. I smiled and said hello to classmates who passed by me, and politely replied in Chinese English. I was so shocked that I wanted to hit a tree to death.
Later, I discovered that many of the classmates who greeted Chujiu did not know them at all.
I just said that if he hangs out in our dormitory all day long, how can he know so many people besides his classmates?
Along the way, I noticed that even the female classmates running not far from the playground began to point at us.
A girl ran past us, her face glowed red when she looked at Chujiu, looking like she wanted to speak but was shy and confused.
Zhiyong and Liu Yang, who opened the dormitory door and were sitting in front of the computer playing King of Fighters 94 version, were stunned for a moment when they saw us, and then blurted out "hello."
"Shut up!"
I roared instinctively. When I saw the two people who were at a loss and confused, I realized that I had suppressed so much depression along the way. I quickly smiled and explained to them the strange things I encountered on the way back to the dormitory.
After listening to what I said, Liu Yang and Zhiyong pointed at Chujiu who was standing behind me and burst into tears of laughter.
It turns out that the ninth day of the Lunar New Year is the culprit behind this trend of Chinglish.
In Liu Yang's words, all the students in the school may not know the name of the principal, but they must know the name of Chujiu. Chujiu was even nicknamed by his classmates - the translator in the foggy city.
The English teacher in the Computer Science Department was so angry with his students that he took sick leave, and the English class became a paradise for students for several days.
The hero Chu Jiu single-handedly created a holiday for his classmates. His deeds were spread by his classmates, and eventually the whole school knew about it.
"You, dida, dida, me, i, huala, huala, you." This classic saying in the ninth grade of junior high school instantly began to spread on campus.
In just two days, the school has set off a wave of Chinglish, and this incredible English dialogue can be heard anywhere.
Students will even be proud of creating new phrases for a long time. It is said that even students from the medical university next door have begun to follow suit.
Many years later, when the ninth day of the ninth lunar month was participating in the school celebration, the recently retired English teacher saw the ninth day of the ninth day when his blood pressure rose. He pointed with trembling fingers at the ninth day of the ninth day and he fainted on the ground.
It can be seen that the English teacher has a deep resentment towards the ninth grade. Of course, this is a story later.
"Hahahaha, I say scatter, because gold shines wherever it goes, and even the sun cannot cover up my shine. Tonight I invite everyone to have dinner in the cafeteria on the second floor."
Chujiu laughed triumphantly without any remorse at all. I slapped him hard on the forehead and said aggrievedly that he would use his allowance to eat.
"Why don't you see Zhang Feng? Where did you go to find out the gossip?" I suddenly noticed that the bed on the upper bunk was neatly made up, which was not Zhang Feng's usual style at all.
Liu Yang answered casually that Zhang Feng had taken leave to return to Shanxi. It was said that a distant relative had passed away.
"Distant relative? Isn't this excuse for asking for leave too perfunctory?"
Zhiyong nodded in agreement. Zhang Feng's original words were that he was not familiar with this distant relative at all and seemed to have never met him before.
I called my family to tell me that I had to go back. It seemed that I had borrowed money from others for business. I would feel a little sorry if the whole family didn't go.
My right eyelid suddenly twitched, and I was shocked. I quickly concealed my panic.
Zhang Feng and I are from the same province, and we also live along the Yellow River, but his hometown is close to Sanmenxia. There is only one train back this time, a day and night journey, and he has already arrived home by this time.
I knew clearly that it had nothing to do with Zhang Feng, but the moment my eyelids jumped was the moment Zhiyong mentioned Zhang Feng.
Glancing at the time on the alarm clock on Zhiyong's desk, I immediately made a hexagram, and the hexagram I got was "Xie" from "Lu".
I threw my backpack on Zhang Feng's bed and took out only the clothes I needed to change.
The hexagram shows that the main hexagram Zhen is east and the mutual hexagram Kan is north. The conclusion of the changed hexagram is that the travel direction is northeast. Northeast belongs to Gen Gua. The five elements belong to earth. The Kan is water. The inland waterside in the northeast direction is not difficult to infer that it is the Yellow River.
Along the coast.
According to the conclusion of the hexagram, I will have travel plans in four to six days.
"Guo Guo, we should go see the old lady tomorrow. I wonder if she has used up the daily necessities we bought last time?"
In the cafeteria on the second floor of the school, Chujiu was chewing stir-fried potato chips and vaguely talking about the fact that school would not be in session tomorrow weekend and that he wanted to visit his old lady who was in the military.
I decisively agreed, and I thought of getting together on the ninth day of the lunar month. In addition to visiting the old woman who was in the military, I was also planning to stop by the farmer's market and the sacrificial product shop to give Jing'er customized equipment. It was time to pay the second installment of the money to the boss.
