(the following text)

After returning to Brazil from Huaxia and making two transfers, Li Sheng returned to the farm by helicopter from the farm. When he returned to the villa, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

As soon as he entered the door, Tia, who was sitting on the sofa with her knees and watching TV, jumped off the sofa and ran barefoot when she saw him. She stopped about a meter in front of him, her voice was cheerful, and she tilted her head and said, "Are you back?" I'll cook for you. ”

Without waiting for Li Sheng to speak, she turned around and ran into the kitchen.

Li Sheng watched her disappear in the kitchen, and the three servals that had grown up also rushed in. He pursed his lips, sat silently on the sofa, pretended to sleep pudding, turned his head to look at him, and continued to pretend to sleep.

Tia did cook, but it was egg fried rice.

Li Sheng looked at the fried rice that had already made a little bit of experience, looked up and asked, "You have cooked it yourself these days?"

Tia sat opposite him and waited for him to eat, and when he asked, she shook her head: "If you go to class, you eat in the dining hall at noon." ”

Li Sheng looked at her little white hand, there was no knife wound on it, and then he lowered his eyes and prepared to concentrate on eating.

Before he brought the fried rice to his mouth, Tia asked with a little nervousness, "Is it delicious?"

"In general, much worse than what I did. Li Sheng said while chewing, "I'll do it in the future." ”

"Oh!" Tia seemed to wilt and stopped talking.

A large plate of fried rice, Li Sheng ate it for more than half an hour. Tia was even more disappointed when she saw this. Usually, Li Sheng eats the same amount of rice and more dishes, and it only takes twenty minutes at most to finish eating. Now that it had taken twice as long, she felt that she must have made something that was not up to his appetite to eat so slowly.

What she didn't know was that after Li Sheng passed away from his mother, there had been no one to cook for him for more than two years, which would be a little absent-minded. After he finished eating, he patted his stomach lightly and said, "I'm full." ”

Tia's spirits came back immediately, and although it wasn't delicious, it didn't make him hungry. She stood up and reached for it.

Li Sheng grabbed her slender wrist and said, "I'll come by myself." ”

Tiano retracted her hand. Li Sheng took the dishes to the kitchen. Tia looked at his back and sat down on the couch in frustration, hugging her knees and resting her chin on her knees. This posture was maintained until Li Sheng washed the dishes and came out.

Seeing her so listless, Li Sheng frowned slightly, but immediately smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Tia lifted her spirit and said, "No, I'm just thinking, isn't it difficult to learn Chinese?"

Li Sheng shook his eyes and asked, "How did you think of learning Chinese?"

Tia pouted, but immediately smiled and said, "I heard that Chinese is very interesting." A few thousand words can mean it all. There are also idioms, each idiom needs a large paragraph to be clearly expressed in other languages, but Chinese only needs four words. There are also folk witticisms and afterwords that have evolved from customs. ”

If it weren't for her, Li Sheng wouldn't have known that Chinese was so interesting. But since she wants to learn, Li Sheng will not object. However, he felt that Tia was very busy now, and if she studied all day like before, he was worried that her body would not be able to stand it. He smiled and said, "If you want to learn, I can ask a teacher to teach you." If you don't like self-study, I can buy some basic tutorials for you. ”

"Can you teach me then?"

Li Sheng smiled and said, "Of course." "If you want to teach foreigners to learn Chinese, as long as you can look up a dictionary, you can do it." The pronunciation of Chinese characters is standardized, which is somewhat different from the pronunciation used in many countries such as English. With a dictionary in hand, the meaning of Chinese characters can be seen at a glance.

And the grammar is not as complicated as English. What is in the continuous tense, what is in the past tense, and what is in the future tense, the various changes seem very old-fashioned.

English is certainly used for a shorter period of time than Chinese, but English is conservatively estimated to have 170,000 words, not including local names and surnames. It is said that 70,000 are in preparation or have been discarded, but 100,000 are still in use. There is also an exaggeration to say that there are dictionaries that collect millions of English words. Li Sheng couldn't figure it out, so many words, can anyone really remember them all?

Even if there are only 100,000 words, only 4,000 words are needed to communicate normally, and even more so in the United States, 1,000 commonly used words can be used to communicate normally. In other words, of the 100,000 words they created, at least 96,000 words were not used by ordinary people. And these words may be added a little more every day, and some die out every day.

Chinese characters are the most unique and complex writing in the world, and if you want to learn well, Li Sheng has no way. He studied in school for sixteen years, and he did not dare to say that he learned Chinese.

So he still added: "If you want to learn well and learn quickly, it's best to hire a professional teacher to teach you." ”

Tia shook her head and said, "I just need to be able to speak and write." Usually I can learn by myself, I won't waste a lot of your time, I will ask you if I don't understand. ”

She said this, what else did Li Sheng have to refuse? He could only nod.

Seeing him nodding, Tia gave him a brilliant smile, and then asked inch by inch: "The day after tomorrow and the weekend, can I bring Dalalo to play at home?"

Dalalo was her brother, a year and a half old now, able to waddle and babble. But that little guy is just not very birdy Li Sheng, every time he goes to the new camp in Taclolo, he just cries as soon as he hugs the baby. This made him a little helpless. But he wouldn't bother with a kid who didn't understand anything.

And the day after tomorrow, he plans to go out, and it's boring to leave Tia alone at home: "You can bring him to play whenever you want." By the way, I'm going to Manaus on the weekend, do you have anything you want to buy?"

"You're going out?" Tia said, blinking. "Can I go along?"

Li Sheng was a little speechless: "Aren't you going to play with your brother?"

"I ...... I also play with him a lot at noon. ”

Li Sheng thought that she was going to the Jilolo tribe during the lunch break, after all, it was not far from the school, and it would take more than ten minutes to drive an all-terrain vehicle. How did he know, in fact, Tia would take her younger brother back to the villa at night to live together. I just knew that he was coming back today, and I didn't bring it back for fear that he would be unhappy.

Li Sheng didn't go out to do anything important, he just wanted to buy something. If he had gone on his own, he might have been back in two hours. What's the point of her going?

But all this time, Tia has never had the opportunity to contact the outside world, and he can understand that he wants to go. And he thought it would be good for Tia, too. So he agreed: "Then let's go together." Is your brother going too?"

"Is it okay for the two of us to go!" Tia shook her head and looked at him.

Li Sheng didn't think deeply, if he took a small child, it was really not very convenient: "Then it's up to you." I'll go up and take a shower first. ”

………………

The next morning, Li Sheng came to the southern district and found several key managers to learn about the situation of the farm during this time. Both production and management of the farm have been put on track, and many things have been put in order, and there is nothing special about it.

It was Zhang Feng who talked about recruiting new workers. Li Sheng returned to China to recruit, and he also recruited in Brazil. More than 40 suitable workers have been recruited, both Brazilian and Chinese. However, the point he told Li Sheng was not this: "The transport team will also have to increase the number of people now. The number of convoys has increased, and although there are enough drivers, there are not enough reserve drivers. Once the fleet needs to run continuously, some drivers may need to drive for more than 12 hours a day. ”

Driving for a long time, for drivers, is very dangerous. Therefore, Li Sheng stipulated that drivers must take an hour off after driving for four hours in a row, and also forced a driver to work no more than 12 hours a day. Therefore, the drivers of the fleet on the farm probably have more than two shifts to work.

Li Sheng thought about it for a while, and the people he recruited in China this time didn't know when they would arrive at the farm for the time being. I think maybe I can recruit more people back here. He asked, "How many people are needed?"

"Forty more. Zhang Feng thought for a while and said. "I think it's more difficult to hire an experienced driver. They usually have families and it is difficult for them to stay on the farm for long periods of time. I think we can hire some experienced ones and some newbies. The salary of a newbie is relatively small. And you can hire some young Indians from the surrounding area. ”

Indians in the Amazon basin are generally not highly educated, but as long as they are smart, education level will not have much impact on learning to drive.

The proportion of Indians in the total population of Brazil is very small, but in the Amazon plain, the proportion of people of Indian descent is not small. They live mainly on the banks of rivers in the Amazon basin, forming small settlements. There are also many who have entered the city and lived a marginalized life.

These Indians are more tolerant of the pressures of life, and Li Sheng hired them, at least without worrying that they would not be able to accept the pressure of overtime and continuous work like Brazilians in big cities. At the same time, Silent Farm can also gain the favor of the Indian descendants to some extent. Maybe at some point, such a good feeling will bring no small benefit to the farm.

So Li Sheng agreed with his suggestion: "Then do what you want." He also told the other party about his arrangements in China, mainly to say how many people he has recruited in the country and how many people he plans to recruit.

Zhang Feng also laughed when he heard Li Sheng say that he had asked domestic labor recruitment agencies to recruit more than 70 unmarried female workers. He knew Li Sheng's thoughts, and he agreed with this idea very much. It can also be seen from this that Li Sheng attaches great importance to these Chinese workers.

Many of the Chinese workers on the farm have not yet started a family, and once they return to their hometowns to get married, half of them may not return to work. But if both husbands and wives work on the farm, they won't give up the high-paying job on the farm easily. This shows that Li Sheng hopes to keep the Chinese workers on the farm. That is undoubtedly a clear expression of importance.

Of course, those female workers may not only choose Chinese workers on the farm, and perhaps they will return to China to marry after they earn money. Maybe they will start families with workers from other countries. But in the end, Chinese workers are close to the water. The boss gave him a chance, and if he couldn't catch it, he could only say that he had no ability.
