Chapter 110
Big Head Shi, whose ancestors have been poor peasants for more than a dozen generations and who would have thought he would be a linguistic genius?
Su Chunjun’s biggest frustration in his life was given by Shi Datou.
Before he met Big Head Shi, he might not have been proud of himself, but he was proud. This pride is not only brought by his family background, but also earned by himself.
He thought he was very talented.
And that wasn’t a lie. He was indeed talented. Since he was a child, he learned everything quickly, studied abroad at the age of ten, returned home at the age of fifteen, met his own father at the age of seventeen, and rebelled against his family, and at the age of twenty, he was able to support himself and still went to college, and his entrance grades were quite good, so what reason did he have for not being self-confident?
He also does not feel that he looks down on anyone, although many students in the class do not compare to him. Or their grades, or their experience. He was also willing to help his classmates improve in his spare time, such as Shi Da Doudou, whom he often helped to correct his accent and teach him some tips on how to learn the language.
And then, the moment to witness the miracle came!
Yang Yuyan dubbed from the sidelines. From the look on her fiancé Mr. Su’s face, she felt that this was the right time to say this.
Mr. Shi Datou was still a fool who knew nothing for the first year after he entered the formal classroom from the literacy class.
Su Chunjun told the story that when Shi Datoudou first entered the classroom, his trouser legs were high and low, and his school-issued cloth shoes were shuffled around, stepping on them like they had been picked up from a garbage heap, and his body smelled bad, and his head was shaved bald.
This is not to say that Mr. Shi Big Head is going to become a monk, but that he has lice on his body, which is why he needs to shave his head.
When you live in a group with people from all over the world, it’s hard to keep your hygiene habits at the same level.
When Su Chunjun first enrolled in the university, he was very naive, thinking that the university would have different standard dormitories like schools in England, and he, of course, would have to live in a single room dormitory with a sofa, a closet, a bookcase, a bed with a mattress and clean pillows, and preferably a living room for socializing.
But the university told him with hard facts that he was daydreaming.
The school does have dormitories of different standards, but another dormitory is called the women’s dormitory. Su Chunjun obviously does not have the hardware conditions to live in, he can only go to live in the men’s dormitory.
The men’s dormitory is full of big bunks, a dormitory living more than thirty male students, some people do not wash their feet, some people do not brush their teeth, some people put straw on their beds, some people have lice on their bodies, bedbugs on their beds, and they can keep rats and cockroaches in their luggage.
A Su Chunjun, who had already tasted the suffering of the world, was forced to go out and look for a house to live in, rather than save the living expenses, starve and wear second-hand old clothes, and refused to live in the dormitory.
This is what kind of inhuman torture.
Yang Yuyan was sympathetic, which didn’t stop her from smiling a little.
Under these circumstances, he was still willing to go and help Shi Datou correct his accent, he was already shining in his personality.
Then he suffered an even bigger blow after he taught Shi Datou.
How unfair fate was.
Yang Yuyan was in tears.
Perhaps there were indeed geniuses in this world.
Perhaps blood, lineage, family education, and so on could indeed categorize people into three, six, nine classes to some extent, but there was a kind of person who was born with a talent that transcended class.
Their name is called genius.
Big Head Shi, he happened to be a genius who came from a muddy background.
God knows how the Shi family got a talent for learning languages in their genes, it’s mind-boggling and unbelievable.
But it happened right in front of his eyes.
Big Head Shi couldn’t even learn city talk, but he learned English as easily as drinking water, and then, one pass, a hundred passes.
Although the western language has a similar shape and approximate language rules, they are all learn to read the pronunciation to learn the language, pronunciation and meaning have a very close connection, which has a completely different rules with the Chinese hieroglyphic characters, the Chinese characters are pronunciation is pronunciation, the meaning is meaning, learn to read does not mean that you will be able to learn the meaning, you learn to read the pronunciation, you also have to go to learn the meaning of each word, and so on to learn the each word’s After you learn the pronunciation, you have to learn the meaning of each word, and after you learn the meaning of each word, you have to learn the meaning of all of them together, and none of the above three paths are interlinked, they exist separately, but they have to be used together, which is capable of torturing any foreigner to death.
It’s true that Spanish is easier to learn than Chinese. But it was not something that could be easily learned by a mudblood who had not even learned the classics!
But for Big Head Shi, he learned too fast. After he learned English, he learned French, followed by Russian and German. Japanese was something he picked up in between learning the above languages, in his words, “to change his mind”.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Su Chunjun wouldn’t have believed it. But he could not believe it, there are geniuses in the world, right in front of his eyes, or a farmer’s son, when he held a book to read, Shi Doudou was working on the ground; when he was studying in England, Shi Doudou was working on the ground, and was being beaten; after he entered the school and thought that he could save China with his talent, Shi Doudou had just entered the school, and was learning to hold a pen for the first time, and started copying from the three hundred thousands of letters with a single stroke.
One year later, he was in the same classroom with him.
Five years later, he surpassed what he had learned in the past ten years.
For Su Chunjun to make such a quick decision to graduate from school and devote himself to officialdom, it’s hard to say that he didn’t run away after being hit. He just felt that he should leave things to more skillful talents when it came to school, and as for him, there were things he was better at as well.
Anyway, after convincing himself of that, he made a quick U-turn and jumped into the world of fame and fortune, and was soon rocketing up the ladder like a fish out of water. Here, too, he could succeed as easily as he could drink water. On one hand he compromises with his past self, on the other he regrets that he’s still more like his father.
But with his father as a mirror, he would never take the wrong path again.
Su Chunjun finishes Shi Doudou’s story over wine and food, occupying all of his fiancée, Second Miss Yang’s attention and all of the remaining time until the end of the table, when everyone needs to take their leave, and Zhu Yanshu comes back from the other table to see the drunken Professor Dai and Shi Doudou.
Yang Yuyan: “Shi Wuwei student.”
From now on, she will never call him Big Head again, as a sign of respect for the genius, she will always call him by his scientific name: Shi Wuwei.
Zhu Yanshu hmmm’d, “Pure Jun, take both Professor Dai and this classmate back, and send them back to school when they’re sober.”
Zhang Ma said, “Drunk people can’t be left unattended, it’s easy for something to happen. There’s no one to attend to them back at school, right?”
Su Chunjun: “There shouldn’t be ……”
Professor Dai didn’t have the habit of hiring subordinates, he lived by himself in that small red building, during the day there were quite a few students in there, but at night he was alone.
There were quite a few people in the boys’ dormitory where Big Head Shi lived, but which one of them wasn’t responsible for taking care of a drunken male student ah.
What if these two were so drunk that they fell asleep and then vomited alcohol? This kind of death can be very painful.
Zhang Ma patted her thigh: “I told you …… that it’s better to take them all back, just put them in your house, you take care of them first, and then send them back to school tomorrow.”
What can Su Chunjun say?
He could only go forward to help up Professor Dai, and then call out to another person to help Big Head Shi.
Yang Yuyan: “Student Shi Wuwei, walk carefully.”
Su Chunjun took a deep breath and helped both of these two drunks who were walking and tripping over garlic back to his own room, with the added strength of the three drunks, all of a sudden that modest room was free of idlers.
Zhang Ma purposely brought a water basin to help, put it down at the door and left, calling out to Su Chunjun to scrub himself and his professors and classmates as well.
Zhang Ma: “I’ll bring you sobering soup up later.”
Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan purposely carried two quilts and sent them up. Seeing that the two drunks were already lying on Su Chunjun’s bed, Yang Yuyan did not want Su Chunjun to suffer and said sadly, “Then where will you sleep? I brought the quilt here so that you can spread it on the floor for them to sleep on.”
Su Chunjun was instantly refreshed and said generously, “It’s okay, I’ll just lean on the table for the night.”
How can this work?
Yang Yuyan really can’t bear to see her fiancé, who has just come out of the oven, suffer this kind of pain, and went back to grind Zhu Yanshu for a while to borrow a key and send it over to Su Chunjun.
She said, “This is the key to the house where the Ding family used to live, and there is a bed inside, so you can go and sleep there. Even if you have to watch them, you don’t have to stay up all night.”
The Zhu Family House was now empty of five families, and it seemed that after one of them had moved away, more and more people had gained the courage to move and had moved away to look for other places.
Some of them had moved to cheaper places, while others had gone back to their old homes.
The room that the Ding family lived in was thirty square feet large, twice as big as Su Chunjun’s room. He had long been interested in that room and wanted to rent it and renovate it to make a new room.
Now that he got the key, he immediately went to open the door without any hesitation.
When the Zhu Family Building was built, the British designer was used, so the room design was still very good, all the rooms were arranged in the shape of a fishbone, and all of them had two or more doors. Not only the row facing the corridor had doors, but also the rooms had the same doors for connectivity.
Zhu Yanshu was remodeling the house for rent at that time, that is, sealing all the doors in all the rooms, only keeping the door of the room facing the corridor, turning the rooms into one after another independent room.
Of course, the floor where the mother and daughter lived on their own had not been altered, but only reinstalled the toilet, water pipes and other pipelines.
The one room rented by the Ding family had two windows and very good lighting, Su Chunjun liked it at first sight, he was mentally calculating a table in front of one window, a sofa in front of the other window, a bookcase here, a closet there, plus three cupboards, a table over here, and two chairs.
It’s still a bit small, and it would be nice if next door was moved, so that the door in the room could be re-opened and activated, and that side could be turned into a bedroom, with this being the parlor.
The bed could be placed in there, with a four-poster bed, and curtains could be hung. This way, when you get up in the morning and pull back the curtains, the people sleeping in the bed will not be affected.
Su Chunjun fixed his gaze on his fiancée, who always loved to stay in bed, and felt that this design was good.
But now the Ding family had installed a stove at one of the windows, which needed to be removed!
The walls had a lot of kid’s drawings on them and needed to be repainted and wallpapered.
The Ding family should be privately wired, there are traces of removed wires on the wall, the need to re-route the installation of lighting, a large lamp in the center, four wall sconces on the wall, and then leave two wires in the corners to put table lamps …….
Su Chunjun turned around in the house, calculating in his mind whether to install a telephone. He was wondering if he should install a telephone, if he should buy a radio, and if he should buy a record player.
Yang Yuyan stood by and watched him go around the house, not knowing what he was doing, taking a walk? Walking? Drunk?
She went up to her fiancé, who looked like he was drunk, and pulled him over to an old bed, “I’ve made it for you, so lie down and sleep for a while.”
This bed was the one that Miss Fiancée had laid by hand just now when Su Chunjun was thinking about the blueprint of his future happy life!
Su Chunjun sat down on his butt and sincerely exclaimed, “It’s really well paved.”
Definitely a good wife and mother now!
He held his fiancée’s small hand and wanted to pull her onto the bed as well to sit down and feel the soft bed and quilt, and after pulling twice, his fiancée stood still and didn’t move, as firm as steel.
Well, he gave up for now.
“I won’t make you work later, we’ll hire someone.” He spoke words of love, “In the future, you don’t have to do housework, just go to school every day, write and read, and wait for me to come home, and accompany you to read and write homework together.”
Yang Yuyan felt that this day didn’t seem to be very happy.
