Chapter 117

The next week, Wu Xiaoping didn’t come to class. Yang Yuyan had nothing to do at home, and remembered too well when Wu Xiaoping didn’t come, so she couldn’t help but ask Yang Yuchan: “Wu Xiaoping didn’t come.”

Yang Yuchan recently finished the accounts, took over Yang Yuyan’s teaching tasks, both sisters do not have to go to school, just one teaching and one learning. This teaching, she is considered to see all the shortcomings of Yang Yuyan, large and small, can be counted out hundreds, she suspected that Su Chunjun and Professor Dai in the end where to look at the wrong, why would praise her smart? She wondered where Su Chunjun and Prof. Dai were wrong, why they praised her for being smart?

Yang Yuyan had something to say about this: “Compared to those who can’t read, I’m smart.”

Yang Yu Cicada was so angry that a Buddha ascended to heaven: “Are you still reasonable?!”

The two sisters were almost in a room fight, but thanks to Zhang Ma’s presence to save the day, she would send one of them away, and then persuade the remaining one.

It’s happened so many times that Yang Yucan has practiced and learned how to clean up Yang Yuyan.

Now, for example, she calmly followed Yang Yuyan’s words and said, “There must be something wrong with her not coming. Come on, read this over and create another sentence.”

Yang Yuyan stared at the sentence, “The fish went to the market with Nice”, knowing that it definitely didn’t mean that, but that’s what she read out.

With her elder sister’s gaze on her, she still had a little baggage of her own, so she could only speak with a stiff upper lip: “Nice takes the fish to the market.”

Yang Yucicang indifferently asked, “Is that what you mean?”

Yang Yuyan immediately changed her words, “Nice went to the fish market.”

This time it was definitely right!

Yang Yuchan snorted coldly, knowing in her heart that she was blinded out. She pointed her finger at the sentence, “You build one.”

It’s easy, just put the words she’s learned.

Yang Yuyan quickly made a sentence, “Aisha went to the cake market.”

Yang Yuchan: “Is there a cake market?”

Yang Yuyan changes it again, “Elsa went to the flower picking market.”

Yang Yuchan: “What kind of market is the flower picking market?”

Yang Yuyan continued to change: “Elsa went to the flower market.”

After sending Aisha to the flower market, Yang Yuchan asked her to calculate how much money Aisha spent on flowers.

Yang Yuyan’s head was spinning as she changed from “seven plus eight plus point five” to “seventy-eight plus point five” to “eight minus seven with point five left over”, to the point where she almost wanted to rush over and help Aisha buy the damn flowers.

After torturing her for twenty minutes, Yang Yuchan complimented her, “You can still do addition and subtraction within ten correctly, as long as you don’t run into the French, you can still get by.”

Yang Yuyan angrily cursed, “Why don’t they use Arabic numerals properly!!!” Most importantly, why did she have to learn an extra French!

She herself didn’t even know what was going on. Yang Yuchan just said for her to learn a little bit of simple conversation in French, no need to go too deep, just be able to order food in a French restaurant. She thought what’s the point? It is hello, thank you, give me the menu, this fish looks good, I want to eat ice cream, how much …… common conversation adds up to less than a hundred sentences can be handled, and with outsiders can also say that she even know French, how handsome ah!

So she agreed.

Then ……

She is going to kill the guy who invented the French number pronunciation.

Today’s French teaching was over, Yang Yuyan held up the Russian language with tears in her eyes, compared to French, Russian except for the fact that it is easy to bite the tongue the words are too long and not easy to write how good it is to learn, in fact, French is also easy to bite the tongue, the world is only the most beautiful Chinese! The whole world should learn Chinese!

Yang Yuchan also changed the book, then, she can point less, because in Russian, she and Yang Yuyan are actually half a catty.

Yang Yuyan got smart and deliberately said, “Actually, you just don’t know Russian, there is no way to teach me, that’s why you forced me to learn French.”

Japanese English she can do, can and Yang Yuchan against the degree of Shakespeare’s drama, said Japanese translation of Shakespeare is really interesting, the conversation are like watching and song, around and then floating some maple leaves and so on.

The most important thing about learning a language is immersion, and her Russian study with Yang Yuchan was to hold a book each and read the dialog in it aloud, with the emphasis on emotional involvement.

Anyway, after reading it, Yang Yuyan felt much deeper in herself, and even said love words like the kind spoken under the covers, with its own tragic effect of accumulating snow and cold.

Her recent Russian studies have moved away from poetry and toward Russian novels!

It’s basically unreadable.

The reason you have to try to read it even if you can’t understand it is because the dialog is still readable, and you can figure out the meaning by guessing.

Because this novel is a story that Yang Yuyan still understand, the famous Russian literature “Anna Karenina”.

It was turned out in the Zhu family’s small study, the original Russian version.

Zhu Yanshu had read it before when she was learning Russian, and she still had quite a collection of books from various countries, and Yang Yuyan’s eyes glazed over when she flipped to a German copy of the □□ Manifesto, and it was written by Marx.

Forgive her ignorance, she really didn’t know Marx was German before this. In her impression, Lao Ma was a self-same family member and Germany was the so-and-so, which in this day and age, was the standard villainous Dark Lord ah, so the fact that Lao Ma was German was like Professor Snape being an undercover agent, it was all kind of shocking to her.

But it’s rumored that the □□ Manifesto wasn’t bought, it was given to her by attending a party.

Who attended it?

Master Zhu.

Yang Yuyan was an afterthought. She had never thought that in fact Su Chunjun had stayed in school, so wasn’t it normal for her grandfather, Elder Zhu, the youngest son of the Zhu Half City family back then, to go out and stay in school for a few years?

Zhu Yanshu brought her back to recall that year, these things happened when she was not born, are listening to the old man Zhu told.

That is to say, Zhu Laozi when he studied abroad was seriously wearing a robe and coat, cut with the money mouse tail head out, but also with a maid two long with, but also with the approval of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he also has a position, although it is out of money to buy a foreigner, but also out of the business trip, the state to pay the money.

It is to fight is white.

But Zhu Laozi has not been to the government office for a day, it is not a loss. The first thing he did when he got off the ship was to cut his braid, and he also forced the two long followers to cut their heads as well, forcing them to cry.

When Mr. Zhu returned to China, he had short hair, wore a suit and tie, and spoke the English and French languages beautifully.

When he came home, he was pressed by his father on the stool and spanked.

The body hair of the parents, you cut the head this is cursing your own father to die ah! Ungrateful son!

Master Zhu’s path is still very wild – not a single day of serious lessons.

He takes the family gold and wears the official skin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, eating, drinking, playing and doing all sorts of evil. But for the sake of the gold, and for the sake of the Zhu family, he managed to graduate.

His footprints were not confined to the tiny United Kingdom, and by taking advantage of the position of the British maritime supremacy, he went to all the countries he could by ship.

However, this was of no use to the Zhu family. The Zhu family sent him out just for the sake of gilding the lily, and would not listen to a child when it came to business.

Elder Zhu said to Zhu Yanshu: ”After I went out and saw the powerful overseas countries, I knew that the Zhu family’s business would not last long. The country is going to be gone, and we, the people of the country, where can we still live?”

The Zhu family’s business is no longer big, no matter how much money they have, they are still the people. Only when the country is prosperous can the people be at peace, without the country, there will be no more people.

But Zhu old man knows his own ability, he will not save the country ah. Whether it is to make a call to the sky to do that change the world, or discernment to find the person who carries the tripod, these he will not.

In front of him is a messy situation, he opened his eyes to see, and finally can only close his eyes to guard his own small family.

Master Zhu’s life has been turned into a book. Some of them were shipped back thousands of miles from the place where he studied, and some of them were collected by him. Before he passed away, he had donated most of them, leaving the family with worthless bargains.

Only those who love books will recognize them as wealth.

This is how Zhu Yanshu commented on the Zhu family’s current collection of books.

Yang Yuyan was sure that Professor Dai didn’t think so.

She was holding the Manifesto that Old Ma had personally delivered to the party and distributed to the attendees, and she didn’t think so either.

So her grandfather had even met Old Ma and his partner, so he could really be considered a witness to history.

And “Anna” was one of the books that Mr. Zhu picked up that year.

When Mr. Zhu moved the book back to China, he took an ocean liner and brought back two of the most fashionable cars at that time. There were one or two hundred pieces of luggage and nearly one thousand books.

I wish the old man was buying books in one lump, did not have the effort to look at one by one, but wrote to the publisher, the publisher in the book to round up.

Of course, there were many uninformative books, because just like the Manifesto, when the tide of thought emerges, all kinds of doctrines and theories emerge, and all of them are put into words.

Mr. Zhu did not read them all in his entire life, but he did write a few sentences in his reading notes, which were very few in number.

Zhu Yanshu said, “I’ve read it, but it’s just three words: I can’t understand it.”

There are also four words: “I can’t understand it.

Of course, all these books were donated in the end.

The rest of the books in the family are the popular ones, Zhu Laozi read “Anna” and gave it to Zhu Yanshu, saying that this is the foreign “West Wing”, Zhu Yanshu also read the Red Lady when she was young, and didn’t realize that the Russian “West Wing” was wilder than the Chinese one, and that it was actually a married woman, and this formed a perfect impact on her young mind, and she now gave this book to the two sisters, Yang Yuyan, so that they could also take a look at it.

Zhu Yanshu said, “Sometimes being in a situation may not necessarily not have a path, but not knowing that there should be a path. This is also a book that breaks the path of the situation, read it and think about it, there is no harm.”

Yang Yuyan took Anna and talked to Su Chunjun, who smiled and said, “The significance of a literary work lies in seeing how the author writes it, and in the case of Water Margin, it’s Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian. You look at it and reread Water Margin, the feeling will be more profound.”

She could read Water Margin even though she couldn’t yet read the original Russian version of Anna, and she looked up the chapter on Pan Jinlian and read it, realizing that the biggest difference between the results of the two novels was that Anna could leave her husband and lover to live in the countryside, and by the looks of things they hadn’t left their original circle of friends and were still in contact with them.

If it weren’t for the fact that both committed suicide at the end, Anna’s husband didn’t recapture Anna and kill her. It could be that he didn’t want to, but most importantly it should be that he didn’t have the power.

But Pan Jinlian never had a choice from the beginning. She was married by her master to Wu Dalang, she could not get a divorce, she could not leave her home, and if she ran away with her lover, she could be killed as soon as Wu Dalang reported her to the police or sought the assistance of the township chief in recapturing her.

So, she could only kill Wudalang as well. Because only then could she be with the man of her choice.

Now, Yang Yuyan holds Anna and reads softly, “…… Unfortunate families have their own misfortunes.”
