"What's wrong?" Xu Jiachang held a thermos cup and walked out of his room without hurrying.

Xu Fengfan was very anxious, so he stepped forward and grabbed Xu Jiachang's sleeve, pulled his father into his room, and said, "Lin Miao said that he can speak English, you can help me see if it's true." ”

Lin Miao sat in Xu Fengfan's room, and when she heard this thing come to her senses, she instantly felt a pain.

If you can speak an English word, you can speak English, so the heroes of all ages in our country have seen so many "yamiedie", "kimoji" and "yiku", wouldn't they be called the eighth level of Japanese for all?

I didn't talk like that!

Lin Miao was speechless, and Xu Jiachang and Xu Fengfan, the father and son, had already come in.

Xu Jiachang graduated from junior college, in his age group, he can barely be regarded as an intellectual, although his English level may not be high, but it is definitely several grades better than Lin Guorong's second knife of secondary school.

Hearing his son's words, Xu Jiachang was quite unimpressed.

At this time, English education was not yet popular, and most children did not begin to contact the 26 letters until junior high school, and then little by little they distinguished pinyin from English. And even if the family conditions are relatively good, even if they sign up for an English class in advance - a better place, such as the English basic class in the Oucheng District Children's Palace, but basically learn some simple common words such as "what's-your-name".

After a school year, if a child can learn the elementary tense application of the present continuous tense, it is almost the level of a fighting chicken among elementary school students in the city. But if you want to continue learning, I'm sorry, the Children's Palace won't teach. Because the Children's Palace only accepts children in the fifth and sixth grades, once they complete the designated courses, they will immediately issue a certificate of completion. The reason why younger children are not accepted is that they are afraid that children will confuse pinyin and English letters, and when the time comes, they will learn to be a four-like, but they will be complained by parents.

Xu Jiachang also thought about signing Xu Fengfan up for an English class, but later looked at the textbooks of the Children's Palace and felt that there was nothing worth learning, so he gave up this plan.

Therefore, in Xu Jiachang's mind, Lin Miao estimated that Lin Guorong was sent to an extracurricular institution to pull out seedlings.

Lin Guorong is illiterate, and it is rare to give birth to a smart son by shit, but at his education level, this Lin Miao's future development may not be much better......

Xu Jiachang followed his son to Lin Miao with three points of regret and seven points of schadenfreude in his heart, and heard Xu Fengfan say loudly: "Lin Miao, you tell my dad the English just now again, see if it's right!"

"Ah Fan, you're in the sixth grade, don't be so childish. What do you have to argue with me, a 6-year-old, I was taken back by Principal Miao just the day before yesterday, and I have already lost to you at a critical time in my life!" Lin Miao said bitterly.

"What?" Xu Fengfan didn't understand what Lin Miao was talking about, he was simply distracted and asked, "Why did Principal Miao take back your red scarf?"

Lin Miao sighed wistfully: "This is a long story...... It was the first National Day in 1994 and it was a little more boring than anything I had ever experienced......"

Xu Jiachang interrupted Lin Miao's nonsense and asked very dryly: "Don't talk about these things that are gone, the red scarf will be returned to you sooner or later." My family Ah Fan said which word do you read? Read it to me. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, I almost ran away from you. Xu Fengfan hurriedly squatted down, pointed to the picture on the small TV set on the ground and said, "Dad, this is it, it should mean 'start' in English." ”

Xu Jiachang glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction.

See, my son is just smart, he has never learned any English, and he can figure out the meaning of "start" by playing games.

He had a smile on his lips and a proud expression.

Xu Fengfan urged Lin Miao again: "Lin Miao, don't rub it off, read it quickly!"

Lin Miao had no choice but to read it again, and then said nonsense: "Do you know, the fact that my red scarf was taken away by Principal Miao directly led to the dismissal of the principal of the eighteenth middle school next door." ”

"Nonsense. Xu Jiachang had heard of someone being killed in the eighteenth middle school, but he would never believe that this matter would have anything to do with Lin Miao's red scarf, and he couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted with Lin Miao in his heart. Such a young child can climb the train with his mouth full of mouth, and if he doesn't educate well in the future, he may not be deceived by many people when he grows up.

Xu Fengfan didn't have so many thoughts, but just asked his father, "Dad, is he right?"

"Yes, that's right, but it's nothing, just a few days before you. When you go to junior high school next year, the reading and writing of these words are the most basic. Xu Jiachang said lightly, and then turned around to leave.

At this time, I heard Xu Fengfan ask, "Lin Miao, who did you learn English from?"

Lin Miao replied willingly: "Self-taught." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Jiachang immediately stopped.

Lin Guorong, Lin Guorong, look at what son you teach, 6-year-old children teach themselves English, are you all decorations when our IQ is ornamental?

Xu Jiachang has done a lot of discipline inspection work, and he can't listen to other people's nonsense. There was no room for sand in his eyes, and when he turned around, he asked Lin Miao with a gloomy face, with a momentum of wanting to slap his face: "Self-study?

Lin Miao saw that Xu Jiachang seemed to have a temper, and hurriedly used the ultimate killer move to deal with the leader in his previous life-[Everything you said was right!] - pretended to be completely convinced, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, I am talking nonsense, I don't know English at all, I can just say a few simple words." ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Xu Jiachang was full of anger, but he was stuck like this.

He looked at Lin Miao's humble and gentle little appearance, and was stunned that he couldn't lift the mood of slapping his face anymore, and when the cruel words came to his mouth, he directly became like this: "Don't be so modest, at your age, it is not easy to learn a little foreign language." ”

After saying this, Xu Jiachang couldn't help but slap himself.

Why are you praising him? Why are you praising him? Lin Guorong's son, what is there to boast about!

But Xu Fengfan, an innocent teenager, took it seriously, looked very envious, and said to Lin Miao: "Yes, I'm in the sixth grade, except for thank you and hello, I won't say a word else." Lin Miao, who did you learn from? Why don't I sign up for a class with you, anyway, I don't have to go to the city to compete in the future, I have a lot of time. ”

You don't have to pay tuition fees to register for classes? You should be free? Also, you can't go to the city competition, what's so good about this kind of thing? And you still tell the 6-year-old kid who beat you! Your brain is caught in the door panel, right? Xu Jiachang's inner activity is very intense, if Lin Miao wasn't here, he might have pulled out his belt and let Xu Fengfan know what his father's warm love is.

Lin Miao was also very entangled.

How can this be explained?

The old man's nonsense, it is estimated that the entire Dongou City will believe Lin Guorong......

Lin Miao touched her chin, her brain was running rapidly, and she searched her stomach for several seconds, and finally came up with a reason that was well-documented but could not be proved on the spot: "Hmm...... You can't learn this method. My dad has a friend who is also surnamed Lin, I call him uncle, and now lives in the United States. Uncle Lin sometimes comes back occasionally during the Chinese New Year, when he came back last year, he taught me the pronunciation of English phonetic transcription, and also taught me how to spell these pronunciations, after I learned it, he bought an English-Chinese dictionary, I usually have nothing to flip through, flip and flip, and I taught myself a few words......"

Uncle Lin is indeed a real character.

It is not false that Uncle Lin is a friend of Lin Guorong.

Uncle Lin immigrated to the United States, which is also a confirmed thing.

But Uncle Lin taught him phonetic transcription, which was pure mother's......

A good lie is eight points true and three points false, Lin Miao is very satisfied with his urgency this time.

Lao Xu, there is a kind of you who flew to the United States to ask~

However, just when Lin Miao thought that he had dealt with this matter, Xu Jiachang's face suddenly turned cold, and a cold voice erupted from his nose: "Hmph!"

Uncle taught phonetic transcription to read the dictionary, which is even worse than the self-study just now!

Do you really think you're a prodigy? This has blown to the sky!

"When you say that, my uncle wants to test you. "Xu Jiachang has decided, today he must let this little ghost of Lin Guorong's family cry and go back. Dare to insult your Uncle Xu's IQ so boldly, if you don't have a long memory today, you will have it in the future?

Xu Jiachang ran back to his room in a hurry, and then after a long time, he took out an English-Chinese dictionary that seemed to have not been used for a long time.

When Xu Fengfan's mother heard that Lao Xu actually wanted to test Lin Miao's English level, she quickly put down the work of making lunch, and happily followed Xu Jiachang into Xu Fengfan's room, and the family of three posed for Lin Miao in three tribulations.

Lin Miao said silently in her heart Lao Tzu is just here to show favor for my father, the two countries are not at war yet, you use such a brutal tool as the "Xinhua English-Chinese Dictionary" to deal with a child under the age of 7?

You're already suspected of violating the Law on the Protection of Minors, okay!

"Come, this word, you read it to me. Xu Jiachang actually didn't know how to spell phonetic transcription, and their English teaching at that time was not even as good as the current junior high school graduation exam.

Xu Jiachang just turned out a word that he still remembered and thought was difficult enough to pronounce, and felt that it should be more than enough to embarrass Lin Miao.

Lin Miao reluctantly took the dictionary, looked at the junior and intermediate words on it that couldn't even reach the fourth level of college, didn't even glance at it, and blurted out directly: "environment, environment." ”

Xu Jiachang was stunned, the expression on his face was a little unbelievable, and said, "You read it again?"

Lin Miao repeated.

Xu Fengfan hurriedly asked his father: "Dad, right?"

Xu Jiachang was speechless.

Xu Fengfan's mother next to her spoke: "That's right, it's read like this, and this pronunciation sounds very comfortable, as if a foreigner is talking." ”

Xu Fengfan's mother used to graduate from Normal University and worked as a junior high school English teacher for five or six years.

After giving birth to Xu Fengfan, his health has not been very good, so he retired from illness in advance.

Although Xu Fengfan never let his mother teach him English, he knew that his mother had more say in foreign languages than his father.

"This kid is so talented in mathematics, but he can't imagine that he is so talented in language. The more Xu Fengfan's mother looked at Lin Miao, the more she liked it, and couldn't help but bend down, touched Lin Miao's head, and sighed, "What a prodigy, worthy of his reputation." ”

"What a reputation!" Xu Jiachang snorted a little out of shape, but immediately held back his temper and looked very unconvinced, "A few more, Lin Miao, you tell your uncle, how to say the word method?"

Lin Miao can also see what Xu Jiachang's old boy means, but when it comes to this, even if he admits it and continues to coward, it obviously has no meaning, he simply stopped cowardly, pretending to be forced to the end, and said with a smile: "Uncle, there are many ways to say this word, commonly used in writing, way, method, approach, in the context of not using, these words can express the meaning of method." There are also things that can be used in ordinary oral language, and idea is not that it can't be translated like this, I-have-no-idea, which can be translated into I don't know, or can be translated into what I can't do, anyway, how to use it flexibly, and there are some slightly more obscure words with multiple meanings, such as the word mean, which can also be the meaning of the method when it becomes a plural form. My current level is limited, and my vocabulary is not enough, so I can only say this, and I can't think of anything else. ”

The other three people in the room all collapsed a little mentally after listening to Lin Miao's vernacular.

Prodigy, you won......

Our family's IQ may have really been eaten by dogs......

Xu Jiachang stood up expressionlessly, said to Xu Fengfan, "I will learn from Lin Miao in the future", and walked out of the room in a daze. The gap is too big, and between Xu Fengfan and Lin Miao, there may even be a difference between a bachelor's degree graduate of Shuimu University. Xu Jiachang, who has always been widely praised among his relatives for his culture, felt panicked for the first time in the matter of family intelligence.

Even Lin Guorong's son can't do it, what face does he have to say that he is smart?

Xu Fengfan's mother accompanied Xu Jiachang and walked out of the room.

The couple closed the bedroom door and whispered in it for a long time, until it was close to noon, when it was about to eat, and when Lin Miao said that he wanted to go home, the two of them walked out of the room again.

Xu Jiachang and Xu Fengfan, father and son sent Lin Miao downstairs together.

When Xu Fengfan went to the parking lot to get the bicycle, Lin Miao suddenly said to Xu Jiachang: "Uncle, my dad is actually a vain and good face, you are educated, and the books you have read, don't be like him." He has no culture and insists on pretending to be cultured, he usually doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and he talks nonsense, but I'm actually quite annoyed to look at it, so I just can't bear it. If he says something wrong and makes you feel uncomfortable, you should be an unreasonable illiterate, really, and my dad is not meaningless, but meaningless. You just treat him as a fart when he speaks, let him let it go, anyway, his little fart can't pollute the air on the streets of Xicheng. ”

Xu Jiachang was a little stunned when he heard this.

If it were an ordinary child, if he could say such a thing, he would just laugh, at most he thought that the child was imitating the words of adults, or memorized the lines in the TV series.

But he saw Lin Miao's level with his own eyes, and he couldn't stop thinking about these words.

Lin Jiachang looked down at the little guy with collagen skin on his face so tender that he could pinch out the water, and asked Qingtian speechlessly, why couldn't Lao Tzu give birth to such a child?

"You don't have to worry about adults. Your task now is to study hard and make progress every day, you know?" Xu Jiachang neither expressed his position nor answered positively, touching Lin Miao's head, compared to before, his movements were simply not too gentle.

At this time, Xu Fengfan rode a bicycle to the two of them, Xu Jiachang picked up Lin Miao, put it lightly on the back seat, and then instructed his son: "Ride slowly on the road, be careful of the classmates behind!"

"I know, I know, don't you feel at ease with my technology? People call me the little prince of bicycles on Xicheng Street, when did you have a car accident...... "Xu Fengfan set up a flag in broad daylight, and he was not afraid of being taken blood when he went out.

Xu Jiachang said angrily: "What nonsense is this! After sending Lin Miao home, he will come back for me to eat immediately, don't eat at other people's houses, you know?"

"I know, I know, there are so many words, and I'm not a 6-year-old child......" Xu Fengfan said, so he pedaled and rode out of the community.

Xu Jiachang stood in place and sighed: "Alas, if you have this level at the age of 6, Lao Tzu will send you to the capital to study desperately...... Lin Guorong, heh! What a fool has a fool's blessing......"
