At noon on Monday, the mixed-race boy came to Xi's house.
Changning personally brought her in.
She wore a dress, had a fashionable curly haircut, and her black hair was burnt.
She can speak a few words in Chinese, which is pretty good.
A few of her sentences included introducing her own Chinese name: Aili.
She comes every day and spends six hours a day with Yun Qiao.
On the first day, Yun Qiao wrote a line of English for Ellie to read, and she shook her head.
She doesn't know the written language and can only read a few very rudimentary words.
Although Yun Qiao only wrote less than ten words, Ellie didn't know most of them.
The two of them don't stick to home, they can go for a walk or go out on the street. Anyway, what Ellie sees, she tells Yun Qiao in detail, one word at a time.
Yun Qiao is just not used to English expression and speaking, but her foundation is still very solid. When Ellie slows down her speaking speed, Yun Qiao can understand what word she says.
So, on Monday of the second week, Yun Qiao asked Allie in English: "Sir, how do you pay your fees?"
"Daily wage." Ellie told Yun Qiao, "Miss, I have always worked at a daily wage."
"How much is the daily salary?"
"Ninety dollars, three months, paid every week." Ellie smiled, "Your fiancé is really generous."
Yun Qiao: "..."
In Yancheng today, the highest-level white-collar workers, like bank presidents, only earn a monthly salary of six hundred oceans.
Silentin gave Ellie three times the maximum salary.
No wonder when Yun Qiao chose Ellie in the club, Ellie was so excited at the time; but the red-haired woman acted very disappointed.
Relationships are such high-paying jobs.
"Miss, don't be reluctant to part with men's money." Ellie smiled, "They are only willing to spend money on young women, and we are only a few years younger. I will treat you to dinner at noon, please be happy, okay?"
"No, I will pay for the outing expenses. What you get is the cost of your knowledge. Knowledge is expensive." Yun Qiao said, "You deserve it."
Ellie was stunned.
For some reason, from the beginning of this day, Ai Li seemed to be a lot calmer and more respectful to Yun Qiao.
After a month, Yun Qiao could almost have a fluent conversation with Ellie. As long as it was not a professional vocabulary, Yun Qiao could basically understand and express it.
Speech is such a thing, it is not difficult for people to understand it.
Yun Qiao has an excellent memory and learns things quickly. She doesn't need Ellie much anymore.
But Xi Lanting agreed.
At the end of the fifth week, Ellie did not leave work happily.
She sat next to Yun Qiao, hesitating.
Yun Qiao asked her what was wrong.
"Miss, can you teach me how to write and read?" She asked Yun Qiao coyly, "I...I'm not young anymore, and it's getting harder and harder to make money from the club."
Yun Qiao felt a little sad after hearing this.
Ellie seemed to be afraid that she would disagree, so she added: "I want to learn some knowledge. You said last time that knowledge can also make money..."
Yun Qiao nodded: "I said. Yes, I can teach you how to spell. There is no charge for this."
It happened that she and Ellie still had a two-month contract, so she taught Ellie written words, and Ellie spoke spoken English to her, and the two of them learned from each other.
Midsummer is here.
Throughout the summer, Yun Qiao was learning spoken English, and she also taught Ellie many words.
By early autumn, when Ellie's three-month teaching mission was over, Yun Qiao had learned her pure accent and could express herself freely; and Ellie could understand novels with the help of a dictionary.
While Yun Qiao was learning spoken English, Jiang Yanjin and his sister Jiang Yanyu also came to visit Yun Qiao respectively.
Jiang Yanyu, in particular, was extremely curious about Yun Qiao's medical skills.
"...I lost so much blood and the trauma was so severe that I could get out of bed after lying in bed for three days. Yun Qiao, you are so amazing." Jiang Yanyu expressed gratitude and admiration, "I want to be your disciple too!"
"what can you do?"
"ah?"
"I don't accept just anyone." Yun Qiao said, "You have to know something to be qualified to be my disciple."
