606. Language

Although Li He had his thoughts in his heart, he still insisted, "Hong Kong students' vision and international outlook are still much stronger than those of the mainland, you don't want your children to have no knowledge in the future, right?"

He Fang refilled Li He with another glass of water this time, and said with a smile, "You joke, don't try to fool me, English is just a skill, don't be equated with any international view, English is the official language in more than 40 countries, and students in these countries have an international view? English is definitely useful, I will also urge my children to learn, you don't have to worry about this." ”

"According to what you say, is it wrong for me to bring Li Pei and them over?" Li He felt a little helpless in his heart, he was also a little unconfident in Li Pei's education method when He Fang said this.

He Fang said, "Of course there is no problem, otherwise why do you think I have to go so hard to let my son go to school in Cotton Hutong? Li Pei and Yang Huai are not young, before they came to Hong Kong, they didn't know a single English word, and they were delayed in their hometown. But our son is still too young, and the school in Cotton Hutong is not bad, and when he has a solid basic knowledge, I can't agree to go to school here to learn some language skills. ”

"You're really picky. Li He was a little relieved, He Fang meant that the education resources in the mainland are unbalanced, and the education level in the first-tier cities may be better than that in Hong Kong, but as for places like his hometown, even if it is a county seat, the education level is not too high, especially in rural areas, it is particularly insufficient.

"Alright, sleep, I have a score in my heart. ”

"Well, I'm going to take a shower. Li He can meddle in the education of his nephew and nephew, as if he can't interfere in his son's affairs. To marry a literate wife, you must be ready to roar at any time.

Most men are chivalrous, especially after getting married, and they don't know what sacrifice is.

Early in the morning, he was arched by He Fang.

"Get up, there's a guest at home. ”

When Li He brushed his teeth and washed his face and went downstairs, there was already a large circle of people sitting in the living room, Wang Yulan seemed to be very happy to have a guest at home, otherwise the family would be too lonely, she was busy pouring tea and adding water.

Li Lan was holding a large bag of chocolates, and reluctantly handed them all over to He Fang.

"If you eat anything sweet, your teeth will be gone. Li He went over and touched his head. Needless to say, these chocolates were also brought by visitors.

Then he said to Li Aijun and the others, "Why are you getting up so early, just sleep at home for a while." ”

Fu Xia hurriedly said, "Lao Ding took us to the fishing village to eat seafood porridge, and everyone came by the way after eating." ”

Li He saw that there was a little girl next to her, so he asked, "This is Lao Ding's daughter, right?"

Ding Shiping took the little girl in his arms and said with a smile, "Look, can you see if it's not my daughter?"

Li He really stared at the faces of the father and daughter for a while, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Congratulations to you Lao Ding, you don't look like you." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, Ding Shiping is five big and three thick, with short legs and long body, small nose and small eyes, if the girl is the same as him, it is called bad.

The little girl is not very old, with a wheat-colored complexion, a delicate face, a round forehead, and big eyes, but her face is somewhat similar to Ding Shiping.

Ding Shiping said proudly, "The child has more with her mother." ”

Li He saw that Li Qiong, the granddaughter of Old Man Li, also came, so he said to the old five at the dinner table, "Go and take your two younger sisters to play." ”

"Yes. Lao Wu didn't refuse, she was about to get moldy when she stayed at home alone.

Ding Shiping patted his daughter's shoulder, "Go out and play." ”

Seeing that the little girl was still hesitating, Lao Wu pulled her with his intact left hand and said, "Let's go, don't run far, let's go to the beach to pick up shells." ”

The little girl couldn't refuse this enthusiasm, but went out with her.

The trees inside and outside the house couldn't be greener, and even the thick cement walls and cement floors could be caught by tenacious grass to burst out a little green.

Li He didn't say much to Shoushan, Li Aijun and others, and called Ivanov, Temur and others to the edge of a gazebo outside.

He lit a cigarette and eagerly asked, "What's the matter with Matic?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lee, I didn't inform you beforehand, but you know our friendship with Matic, he asked us for help, and we had to help him. Although Ivanov was already in the United States, his English was as bad as ever, and he still relied on Temur to translate into English.

Li He asked with a cold face, "If he continues to ask for money later, will you continue to help?"

The matter of war, he has long decided not to mix.

Ivanov didn't speak this time, but it was Temur who spoke, and he said with a smile, "As far as I know, NATO forces have intervened in the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, but Mishelovich is unwilling to accept mediation, and this war will continue." Matic will not be short of money, he has already planted large tracts of opium poppies in Serbia. That's a lot of profit. ”

"Poppy?" Li He was not surprised, because southern Europe was originally one of the birthplaces of poppies, and when he was in the Czech Republic, he had seen a large number of poppies, but most of them were ornamental poppies.

With the approval of the World Health Organization, only six countries in the world can legally grow opium poppy, and China is one of the countries that legally cultivates opium poppy for medicinal purposes.

However, it is limited to Tiaoshan Farm on the southern edge of the Tengger Desert and is the only designated legal opium poppy cultivation base in the country.

Excluding China, India, Spain, the Czech Republic, France, and the Netherlands, the six countries that legally grow opium poppy, the rest of the country must be illegal, including the most famous Golden Triangle, Afghanistan, and Serbia, where Matic is located.

Ivanov added, "He also participated in smuggling groups, and he led people to open the passage to the Balkan Peninsula. ”

"Smuggling?" Li He said with a smile, "It's a good business." ”

Temur thought that Li He had misunderstood something, and explained, "It's human smuggling. ”

"Snake head?" Li He used Chinese, because he didn't know how to translate this English word, and he suddenly found that sometimes English is so annoying, and the amount of English vocabulary memorized is too large. The vocabulary of "literate" Anglo-Americans must always be more than 30,000. Three thousand words in Chinese are enough, even Chinese need to learn phrases, but most of the phrases can be completely literal, without such a heavy vocabulary burden as the British and Americans.

The Chinese language is like the air around it, although you can't see, touch, or feel its existence, but you are in its arms all the time. But as for English, Li He is very proficient, and when he encounters some rare words, he still needs to go to the dictionary.

There is no such thing as a high or low language. The Chinese language is ancient, flexible and elegant, but this does not mean that Chinese is noble and other languages are inferior. I don't think a language is good because it's not my native language.

In terms of personal preference and selfishness, it must be the mother tongue that is the best. From Li Laoer's point of view, Dutch, Fuyang, and Xinyang dialects are even more beautiful than Mandarin.

Ivanov didn't understand the meaning of the Chinese word, but continued, "Every year, millions of people want to enter Europe through the Mediterranean, which gives Matic the opportunity to earn at least $5,000 per person!
