13. Learn English

Old Man Lake is a very talkative man.

Chatting with him, even if there is an interpreter in between, it still makes people feel his heartiness, and it is easy to get acquainted.

According to the Chinese tradition, if you do something, you have to invite people to eat at least one meal. Lake couldn't get rid of it, and had lunch in the restaurant, and in the end it was AA, which made Chen Mo smile bitterly, and he also deeply felt the cultural differences between China and the United States.

Sending Lake away, Alvin goes back to work.

Then the red wine that I didn't finish just now. Chen Mo likes the leisure life of Napa Valley, the scenery here, and the wine culture here, all of which fascinate Chen Mo. The only bad thing is communicating with people......

Back at the hilltop villa, Chen Xi felt a little drunk and went to sleep.

Chen Mo went to plant the old vine vines.

Surviving vines that are more than seventy years old are rare throughout the Napa Valley area. Chen Mo planted seven on the edge of the courtyard, and he brought the remaining three into the pocket cave world.

This side of the world is incomparably magical, and the plants inside seem to live forever without being limited by time.

Perhaps, in a few hundred or thousands of years, these three old vines will become 'vines'. Just like the previous owners of the space, they planted tea trees, peach trees, and now they have all become ancient trees, ancient trees. Chen Mo also left his own mark in the space.

Chen Mo planted the old vines on the edge of the tea garden, then brought out a bucket of water and watered the seven old vines planted outside. Then he entered the space again, and he planned to transplant the small peach tree inside.

The small peach trees in the space grew under the big peach trees, and he could feel the vitality of the small peach trees, but he just didn't know why they didn't grow well. Carefully dug out the peach trees with roots and soil, a total of 32 pieces, scattered around the villa and planted.

After finishing this, when she returned to the house, Chen Xi had already woken up and was eating in the refrigerator: "Brother, where did you buy your peaches, and a taste at home." ”

"Bought in the supermarket. Delicious, right? ”

"Well, it's delicious."

This peach is naturally a specialty of the cave world, and it is definitely not sold in the supermarket.

Chen Xi made a fruit salad with peaches, and then turned on the TV. The TV was full of English channels, Chen Mo couldn't understand it, and he felt bored.

"Brother, it's time for you to learn English."

"I'm going to find an English teacher. By the way, I will also give you some English lessons. ”

"What. I'm the representative of the English class, and I get a perfect score on every test, and I still need tutoring. Chen Xi didn't want to spend a good vacation on tutoring English.

"Okay, English class representative. You'll be my translator from now on. "The girl is indeed the representative of the English class in the class, but she, the representative of the English class, still can't communicate with people normally when she comes to the United States. After all, every place has a local accent, and different people speak at different speeds, making it sound very difficult to communicate with people if you don't often communicate with people in English.

With the help of Chen Xi's girl, Chen Mo posted the recruitment information to the online intermediary and offered Zhou Xin a high salary of 2,200 US dollars, the only condition being to speak Chinese. In fact, Chen Mo can make Luo Di a regular employee of the restaurant, but the tutor is only a temporary job, and the teacher is not only to teach Chen Mo alone, but also to learn English. It's better to hire an external teacher. The salary given by Chen Mo is high enough, and there are two conditions attached, one is that he can speak Chinese, and the other is that he lives in this county, which is convenient for explaining the customs and people.

A weekly salary of $2,200 is a reasonable middle- and upper-income class in the United States. The recruitment information was posted on the Internet less than an hour before the application phone called, and the other party had a very nice voice and spoke fluent Mandarin. After a brief conversation, she decided to come over right away. The place where she lived was only a fifteen-minute drive from Casaper Manor, and Chen Mo waited for a cup of tea, and Robert called to say that he was visiting from a very beautiful girl. When he heard the car horn outside, he went out of the living room, through the long cobblestone path in the garden, to the door, and saw a beautiful Volkswagen Beetle sedan parked outside.

When listening to the voice, Chen Mo instinctively imagined that the other party was a yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese woman, but when he got out of the car, he was a woman-haired woman, small in stature, carrying a handbag, a white T-shirt and short jeans, and a pair of orange canvas flats.

"Hello, Mr. Chen?" The other party stretched out his hand, a mouthful of pure Chinese, with a little northeast taste.

"Hello." Chen Mo shook his hand lightly and introduced, "She is my sister, Chen Xi." ”

"Hello, my name is Anna. Nice to meet you guys. ”

"Inside, please." Chen Mo took her in.

Anna is not a very beautiful girl, she has a little freckles on her face, which can only be said to be cute, which makes it easy for people to feel good: "Miss Anna, in order to facilitate my studies, I have to ask you some questions." ”

"Excuse me." Anna may be too immature and a little cramped in the face of strangers.

The question was asked by Chen Xiya, mainly in Chinese and English translation. Anna answered fluently, she spoke Chinese very well, but she didn't know Chinese characters.

"Last question, have you lived in China? Listen to your Mandarin with a little Northeast flavor. ”

Anna nodded: "I've been to China because my boyfriend is Chinese." His hometown is in the Northeast, and I spent this Chinese New Year in the Northeast. ”

Chen Mo smiled and nodded, no wonder his Chinese had a northeastern flavor: "The assessment has passed." I will let people handle the relevant contract documents, and you will come to teach tomorrow and officially sign them. By the way, I don't know if you can read the job postings on the Internet clearly. Your students are not just me, they are my friends. Moreover, the $2,200 per week is everyone's tuition. ”

"Of course." Anna suppressed the small excitement in her heart and said.

In the evening, Chen Mo told Luo Yong about finding an English teacher. The next day, Anna came to the villa on time, Chen Mo took out the written contract prepared by Kalma, signed it, and then officially attended the class.

In Anna's words, the fastest way to learn English is to communicate with English speakers. But Chen Mo and they didn't have a little foundation in English, which gave Anna a headache, so she had to start from the most basic scale, and then the words......

Suddenly, Chen Mo felt that his life was hard.

What Anna taught during the day, Chen Xi had to force him to review at night. It seems that I have returned to my student days all of a sudden, no, I have never worked so hard when I was a student.

Chen Mo's comfortable life has not yet begun, it has ended.

After being tortured like this for half a month, Chen Mo was finally able to communicate with the restaurant staff in half-baked English plus sign language.
