Ye Ziliang hurriedly said, "Don't call me Mr. Ye, it looks like I'm so old, I only graduated with a master's degree last year, only a few years older than you, if you don't dislike me, you can call me 'brother'." ”

Sun Weiwei pondered for a moment, "Brother Ziliang," she called out quite smoothly, "Are we going to sign the contract now?"

"I'll go back first to determine the final version of the contract, and I'll ask you out separately tomorrow to sign the contract," Ye Ziliang said to her, "I'll trouble you have to go again tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, anyway, I don't have anything to do for the time being during the summer vacation," Sun Weiwei disagreed.

In this way, it was officially finalized, and the cooperation between Ye Ziliang and the "Little Ladies" team.

On Tuesday, Yu Zhan went to Liu Yan's home on time to teach English. Liu Yan made a lot of preparations in advance, and she was very nervous, worried that she would show her timidity in front of Yu Zhan.

The two of them sat facing each other in the study, looking like a teacher and a student.

Yu Zhan arrived in the United States when he was in high school, and he didn't know much about the deconstruction of English textbooks in domestic universities, so he first looked through Liu Yan's four English textbooks, and he turned them quickly, with ten lines at a glance, and his expression was serious and focused, the same as when he was working.

Liu Yan was even more nervous, her eyes were staring at his fingers turning the book, and her heart was skipping a beat. For no reason, Yu Zhan gave her a feeling of being a strict teacher.

When Yu Zhan finished reading the book, he looked up and saw Liu Yan looking at him with a blank look, pitiful,

He chuckled, "Don't put on a posture like you're facing a great enemy, your textbooks are not difficult." ”

"It's not difficult for you, but it doesn't mean it's the same for others," Liu Yan wrinkled.

"Why are you so smart that you are stumped by English?"

"I probably haven't found the rules yet," Liu Yan said depressedly, "These words, looking at them individually, I can understand the meaning, and I have memorized them, but when they are connected, I can't understand them." ”

"That's because you don't know English grammar and rhetoric. ”

"I know grammar, I have also studied grammar, English, Chinese, ancient Chinese, I have compared each other," in order to learn English well, Liu Yan worked hard.

In her previous life, how could there be any grammar, she learned to speak when she was a child, and began to recite the Four Books and Five Classics, this is a cultural person, no one has ever asked why everyone has to speak like this, to write like this, they have accepted their own language and writing as a matter of course.

Liu Yan said, "I studied the grammar of modern Chinese on the Internet, and I compared these grammars with English. ”

"No wonder you can't learn English well, learn a second language, the most taboo is to put it on your mother tongue," Yu Zhan said, "Since you have to compare, let me first tell you the biggest difference between Chinese and English, English words have the case, sex and number differences, for example, 'I' means 'I', is the nominative case, 'me' also means 'me', is the accusative, but in Chinese, 'I' only has this way of writing, that is, 'I', can you find other expressions?"

"Yes!" Liu Yan replied, "Bengong, I, Zaixia, contemptible, lonely, widowed, and ...... It's all about 'me'."

Yu Zhan: "......"

He found that he and Liu Yan's thinking didn't seem to be in the same dimension.

"Either these words are only used by people of a certain status, or they were only spoken by ancient people, and now you try to call yourself 'contemptible' or 'me' with others?"

Liu Yan imagined that picture for a moment, I'm afraid I'm not a fool...

"I know your hobby is more retro, but let's talk about modern Chinese, modern English, don't go into ancient Chinese," Yu Zhan continued, "The part of speech in English, the noun 'I' is 'mine', the adjective 'my' is my, and these words have singular and plural differences, 'my' is singular, 'our' is plural......"

Yu Zhan spoke very carefully and clearly, Liu Yan didn't understand many things before, but suddenly became enlightened, and the more she listened, the more she became fascinated, and she took notes while listening.

After teaching part of the grammar, Yu Zhan began to compare the textbook and explain the text to Liu Yan, he spoke much more vividly than the female teacher, Liu Yan originally knew a half-understood article, after his explanation, she successfully understood not to say, and even figured out the structure between words and sentences.

She looked at Yu Zhan's eyes, sparkling and extremely adoring.

This filled Yu Zhan's heart with the satisfaction of being a man, and he liked the feeling of being admired and appreciated by Liu Yan.

"Read me the first paragraph of this text. ”

The light in Liu Yan's eyes stopped abruptly, "Uh..."

"Shy, don't dare to speak?" Yu Zhan laughed at her, "It's just the two of us here, and I won't laugh at you." ”

Liu Yan thinks he's laughing at her now!

"Is it okay to read it later?" she said weakly.

"When will it be in the future? The ugly daughter-in-law will always have to see her in-laws. ”

Liu Yan: "......"

“On Valentines Day...... More than a million roses ...... will be sold during this festival for lovers...... the biggest day of the year for the nations rose industry......" Liu Yan stammered, and had to give up several times, and then gritted her teeth and persevered with Yu Zhan's encouraging eyes.

finally read the whole text, Liu Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, and Yu Zhan immediately praised her, "You have to speak often like this, don't memorize and read silently, if you talk too much, you will have a sense of language, and your English will naturally get better and better." ”

"Well, I'll read it out later," Liu Yan always thought her pronunciation was funny and was ashamed to speak, but Yu Zhan gave her a lot of confidence.

"You translate this article to me. ”

"Okay," Liu Yan nodded, translating, "On Valentine's Day, millions of roses will be sold to couples, which is the most important day of the year, for the country's rose industry." ”

Yu Zhan said with a smile, "Your translation is a typical copy of the original, although there is no problem in understanding, but it does not conform to the way we Chinese speak, don't you think it's weird?"

"It's weird. ”

You should format the sentence like this: Valentine's Day is the biggest selling day of the year in the national rose industry, and on this day, they can sell millions of roses to couples. Do you think it's a lot smoother?"

"You're so amazing!" Liu Yan admired Yu Zhan even more.

Yu Zhan was happy in his heart, it turned out that it was so simple to let this omnipotent girl worship herself.

At the same time, he thought that China's Valentine's Day Qixi Festival was next month, what kind of surprise should he prepare for Liu Yan?

Liu Yan and Yu Zhan just taught one to listen, concentrated, their eyes would meet from time to time, looking at each other's eyes, Liu Yan was always the first to resist his gaze, lowered his head, shyly staggered, after a while, he didn't look at her, she quietly raised her head again, peeked at him, and so on, a faint emotion lingered around them, unaware of the passage of time.
