Outside the window, the sky was dark, and the stars were shining brightly in the black firmament, bright and dark, like many glowing droplets.

In the living room, Ke Mulan leaned on the corner of the sofa, holding a book and reading.

He suddenly raised his eyes and saw Kang Yurong in the chair, stitching and stitching on his hands, sewing the buttons of his clothes that had fallen.

He was like this, quietly looking at the woman under the lamp, his thin lips curled in a beautiful arc.

Thoughts are pouring out, warmth is overflowing, and the heart is like a pool of turquoise spring water gently rippling in the misty reflection of the sky and shadows.

After a while, he looked at her and said, "Yu Rong, now you have more time to learn English, right?"

Ke Mulan is right, there is really a lot of time now.

In order to be afraid that her daughter would be picky and lonely, the landlady decided after negotiation that little Cathy's three meals would be together with them, and Kang Yurong naturally couldn't ask for it, which made her not know how much trouble she saved.

It's said that it's three meals, but it's actually two meals in the morning and evening, because Cathy's lunch was settled at school.

Little Cathy is a very independent little girl, getting up to wash, take a bath and sleep...... She can always complete her daily life by herself, and Kang Yurong can't intervene even if she wants to help.

In terms of diet, Ke Mulan is right, the little girl is not a picky eater. If she is tired of eating, or wants to eat, she will bring it up directly, Kang Yurong will not do it, and the little girl will study it with her.

In a word, this is an extremely easy to get along with "little master".

Every day, after breakfast, Kang Yurong will send little Cathy to school. The school is not far away, and it only takes ten minutes to ride a bicycle, but she can't ride, she can only walk, but fortunately, little Cathy is not disgusted and is willing to walk with her for more than half an hour.

One big and one small hand in hand, one moment in English, one moment in Chinese, talking and laughing is so unhappy.

When you come back, tidy up your room, do your laundry, and clean up your daily hygiene.

These things have long been familiar to her, and although they are tedious, they are not very tiring.

After lunch, after Ke Mulan went to work, she was idle all afternoon.

Ke Mulan said that she had plenty of time, but she was not foolish.

After listening to Ke Mulan's words, she didn't look up and said, "I've been learning." ”

It's not that she is talking nonsense, after getting acquainted with little Cathy, she learned a lot of words and sentences from the little girl.

Ke Mulan said: "When I say learning, I mean detailed, concrete, and planned learning. After a year, apply to a school, receive a formal education, and take a recognized diploma. ”

"Shhh

The tip of the needle pierced the finger, and a bright red drop of blood bubbled out.

Kang Yurong instinctively put his finger to his mouth and sucked/sucked.

How could she get a recognized diploma?

She shook her head: "I can't. ”

Ke Mulan threw away the book in his hand, got up and approached her, looked at the top of her head condescendingly, and still said the same sentence: "You haven't tried, how do you know if you can't do it?" Or do you want to do the job of this nanny all the time. ”

To be honest, Kang Yurong is what he planned.

In her opinion, the situation couldn't be better at the moment. has a job that is not too tiring, has a stable salary, does not have to worry about eating, drinking and Lazar, and can save a little at the end of the month.

She also wants to learn English, and it is precisely because she thinks that she will ask little Cathy whenever she is free, how to pronounce this word, how to pronounce this sentence?

However, in order to be admitted to a regular school, you also need to obtain a diploma......

She had never thought of these things, and she didn't dare to think about them at all.

Ke Mulan's voice just fell.

Kang Yurong tilted his head violently, collided with his gaze, and asked him with his eyes: How do you know?

He didn't speak, he just looked back at her: I knew you thought so.

Kang Yurong felt ashamed that he had been exposed, and instantly lowered his head again.

For a while, Ke Mulan pursed her lips, took a deep breath, squatted down, and looked at her at eye level.

He said: "Yu Rong, take a long-term view, don't just focus on the satisfaction of the immediate point. This nanny job may seem good to you now, but have you ever thought about the future?"

"In the future, will you continue to do it in the future?"

"If you want to keep doing it, reality may not agree to it. ”

"How?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Allen found a nanny because they had to study for a year and it was inconvenient to take Cathy with them. What about a year from now? Whether the Allen family needs a nanny or not, is there a question of whether or not they need it. Moreover, the reason why Mrs. Allen agreed to ask you is not only because Cathy can speak simple Chinese, but also because I can help take care of it.

If Mr. and Mrs. Allen don't need you anymore, what will you do when the time comes? Do you still work as a handyman? So, while you have time now, work harder, enrich yourself more, and improve yourself more. When you succeed in your studies, it is not the job that chooses you, but the capital that you have the capital to choose the job you like. ”

What Ke Mulan said was reasonable, and Kang Yurong was speechless.

She said, "I don't understand anything, how can I learn in a planned way?"

He said, "You can ask a teacher to teach you." ”

"Teacher, please?" Kang Yurong shook his head: "Forget it, I don't have that much money." ”

Ke Mulan wanted to say, I have. In the second thought, with her fierce temper, it is estimated that she will not use a penny from him to kill.

So, he laughed and said, "There is one who is free, and I don't know if it fits your eyes." ”

"Free?" Kang Yurong was about to say how could there be such a good thing, but as soon as he met his smiling eyes, he understood what was going on: "You're talking about yourself, right?"

He smiled and asked, "That's right, it's me." Excuse me, does my free teacher fit your eyes?"

The corners of her mouth moved slightly: "In that case, aren't you too hard?"

He didn't answer and asked, "Are you afraid of hard work?"

She shook her head: "Don't be afraid. ”

"I'm not afraid. ”

Kang Yurong was slightly stunned, his clear eyes moved slowly, touching his gentle eyebrows, his face was hot, and his gaze was avoided.

"That...... I don't, I'm afraid I can't. She stammered.

Ke Mulan was really afraid of her retreating, so as soon as she stepped forward, her hands stretched out, and her right hand was subconsciously closed in his palm.

His eyes were heavy: "I promise, you will do it." ”

This is his second assurance.

The timbre was not heavy, but it was like a true qi injected into her veins, spreading all over her body, giving her the strength to follow him.

He clasped her hand with both hands, he looked at her, she looked back at him, and the room was speechless as if it were sound.

Maybe the atmosphere was too quiet, maybe his palm was too hot, and she suddenly came up with an idea, how nice it would be to get the assurance of his life.

A thought struck, and she was shocked.

Kang Yurong is dizzy, what are you thinking?

Her heart became more and more chaotic, and in a panic, she broke free of his hand, stood up and hurriedly put down a sentence: "The clothes are ready, I'll go back first." ”

Ke Mulan didn't chase her, didn't stop her, and let her go.

He didn't know the secret in her heart, and when he looked at her crimson face, he just thought she was shy. Looking at his hands, the smile at the corner of his mouth kept rippling round and round.

Ke Mulan is a man of action, and the next day he brought back a large stack of books.

Although Ke Mulan's "I promise" is as powerful as last time, when it is put into action, Kang Yurong knows what it means to be difficult to move an inch.

Kang Yurong has no foundation at all, although she knows a lot of words and some sentences, but if she really wants to be serious, her pronunciation is not accurate, and she speaks a little faster, the result is that the Chinese do not understand, and the British do not know what she is talking about.

Kang Yurong was very frustrated for a while, so he picked his pick and quit: "I think it's better to forget it, right? I just don't learn English at all." ”

Ke Mulan didn't give up, and said patiently: "Learning is a gradual thing, you have only been studying for a few days, how can you produce results so quickly? Also, you are too anxious, people are easy to get irritable when they are in a hurry, and if they are irritable, they can't learn anything." Don't we Chinese often say: can't you eat hot tofu in a hurry? So, don't worry, take your time, it will always get better. ”

Kang Yurong was not confident, and muttered lifelessly: "I hope." ”

Ke Mulan smiled: "Trust me, you must be able to." He paused for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't blame you this time, but I should blame you." ”

Kang Yurong looked at him: "It's me who is too stupid, what's the matter with you?"

Ke Mulan said: "It's not that you're stupid, it's that I'm a teacher who is unqualified." I forgot that everything should start with the basics. Just like when we build a house, we should first lay a solid foundation, and then build it layer by layer.

You can say that you are new to the English language, without a little foundation. Because you can say some words and sentences, I will ignore this point and directly tell you about sentence patterns, which will naturally take a lot of effort for you to learn.

In this way, from today onwards, we will come step by step, starting with those 26 letters, learning to write and reading. ”

Kang Yurong lowered his head and didn't say anything.

Ke Mulan called her: "Yu Rong!"

She glanced at him: "I feel like it's too hard for me, I ......"

Ke Mulan asked, "Yu Rong, do you have a dream?"

Yes!

When she was not married, her dream was to go to school and study hard like her brother and brother.

got married, and her studies were in vain, so she was bent on pleasing her in-laws and husband and educating her children.

Divorced, cumin is alone, food and clothing have just been barely solved, and naturally I don't dare to think about studying.

To be honest, she has always had the desire to learn, so when Ke Mulan mentioned it, although she didn't dare to have such thoughts, her heart was still hot. It's just that the "mountain" of English is too high, and she thinks it's hard for her to cross it.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned slightly.

He didn't understand what she meant, but he could see the change in her.

Ke Mulan didn't chase after her, but said a digression, he said, "Yu Rong, let me tell you a story, right?"

"Tell a story?" Kang Yurong was puzzled, I'm not a child, what kind of story do I tell?

Ke Mulan looked at her and smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, I'll tell you a little story." Do you want to hear it?"

Kang Yurong blinked his eyes and nodded like pounded garlic: "You have to listen." ”
