Chapter 031: Cynthia and White Sword
For a week, Cynthia and Teacher Bai Jian agreed that they must communicate in English in order to help Lan Yu improve his speaking skills.
After the English corner today, Cynthia proposed to communicate in Chinese, and for the gratifying results and amazing progress achieved by Blue Feather, she wanted to invite Blue Feather to them for coffee.
Of course, Lan Yu was overjoyed, this was her first time tasting coffee.
In the past, I saw in the original movie or novel that people drank a drink called coffee, similar to the tea culture of the mainland. Nowadays, in a special atmosphere, it is enough to have a coffee with a pure Westerner.
In fact, what makes her appreciate more is that Cynthia's understanding of different nationalities and races of human beings is so enlightened and advanced:
"Vivian, aren't you interested in Western culture?" Although I am still very unaccustomed to the coffee in my mouth, it still brings an inexplicable comfort to my soul.
"yes, I wonder why there is such a big cultural gap between them." Lan Yu said.
"Actually, the most important thing is to see the common ground first." Cynthia explained the problem in reverse.
"How?"
"Life, regardless of nationality or race, has exactly the same physical structure and includes the human spirit and soul. More importantly, in mainland dialect, the humanistic morality of 'goodness is like water, and virtue is carried by things', not only in the West but also on the entire earth, and all human beings are the objective existence of human nature. ”
"Cynthia, it's amazing that you have such a deep understanding of mainland culture!"
"You are wrong, and this is what many Western scholars have described in their books. I'm just comparing it with the books of mainland scholars. ”
"Oh, yes, that's right" It seems that I need to read more books if I know the language. Whether it's Eastern or Western, there must be my teacher in the threesome.
"What about the differences, the differences in culture?" Blue Feather can't wait to learn more.
"In fact, a lot of Western culture comes from the prosperous Celestial Empire in the East. In today's world, if we look at it from the perspective of the ages, it is impossible to distinguish the difference between the East and the West. If people's eyes are only on the brief moment of their own life, they will feel the difference. ”
Cynthia expressed her in pure continental language, if it weren't for the characteristics of her appearance and her eyes, I would have forgotten that she was a pure Westerner who came to the land of China from far away North America, so Lan Yu listened more carefully, and it was the first time I had heard of such an esoteric subject as life science and cosmic research:
"The study of differences is simple, and scientists can draw conclusions through the study of the earth's climate and historical evolution, a series of factors that affect the natural world, including human beings, that is, the natural science of the universe."
"Yes, science, natural science knows no borders. Yes, music, just like music knows no borders! ”
"Yes, you see, do we have borders for our current emotional exchanges?"
"Wow, that's so simple."
Lan Yu sighed, at this moment, she already felt that the distance between them and Cynthia was so close, it seemed that it was only between the spirit rhinos.
The next day, Cynthia called Lan Yu to their foreign language teaching and research room, took a philosophy book in the original language, handed it to Lan Yu, and said:
"If you are willing to write this book, you will understand that there is no difference between the spiritual motivation of human beings and the ability to think abstractly on the whole earth, regardless of race, color, nationality, or region. It's just that the way of expression is different depending on the characteristics of the language. ”
Although, at present, Lan Yu still can't understand the essence of this book, but if he really gnaws it down, no matter from which angle, the results will not be small. Blue Feather kept expressing her deep gratitude to Cynthia.
"But really, I've done so many good things for you,"
At this time, Teacher Bai made a grimace and interjected, but he was afraid that Lan Yu would hammer him, so he hid behind Cynthia's back before he continued:
"It's not fair, don't you even say a word of thanks to me?"
"Yes, how not!"
Lan Yu deliberately pretended to ignore him, and when he relaxed his vigilance and returned to his desk, she raised the children's book that Cynthia gave her in her hand, and pretended to slap Teacher Bai, so frightened that Teacher Bai fell to the ground with her.
Lan Yu had no choice but to bend down to pick up the book, and found a beautiful color photo falling from the book.
Now, there are no color photos on the mainland, so Lan Yu is very curious to pick up the photos and look at them.
One of the people in the photo is, of course, Cynthia, and the other, huh? Isn't this Uncle Ji? Who is the child in front of this, and how does it look so familiar? In all fairness.
Cynthia noticed Lan Yu's surprised look, and she asked:
"What, this gentleman is someone you know?"
"Yes, Uncle Ji, he's Uncle Ji!"
"Oh, No. he is my benefactor and my Chinese teacher."
"Inner Mongolia, Great Northwest?"
"Yes. How did you know him? ”
"Cynthia, we're really fated to be together. When you have the opportunity, you have to have a good chat. ”
“OK.” Cynthia threw an indescribable mysterious smile at Blue Feather.
After saying goodbye to Cynthia and Teacher Bai, Lan Yu flickered on the way home, the photo made her uneasy, her ears always seemed to ring the even sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by the pleasant horse bells "jingle bells" crisply, and there was a goose feather snow flying in front of her, like a fairy scattering flowers, sprinkled on the white earth
Blue Feather snuggled up to Ivan and sat on the plow, as if he had run away.
On the edge of the house sat a handlebar like Santa Claus, wearing dog fur on his head, sheepskin jacket, pants, and boots, and the whole person looked like a white snowman. He shook his head and shook his body, humming a little tune as he drove the car.
Ivan was in Lan Yu's ear, and teased how he liked the mountain:
"You know, I especially like the snow-capped mountains and the people in the mountains."
"I like it too." Lan Yu also said.
"yes. You see, everything here is so pure. ”
"The snow here can be drunk when it melts, and it is sweeter than spring water." Uncle Ji interjected.
"That's right, people have lived in this peaceful land for generations, and they have formed a natural whole with nature." Ivan could be heard proud.
"However, there are rich deposits in this mountain. To open a mine for these resources is not to destroy this beautiful scenery? Lan Yu couldn't help but worry.
"Therefore, we are particularly opposed to digging and mining in such a beautiful mountain."
"Isn't it just to provide technical data for mining when we do these surveys and analyses?"
"Collecting and surveying information on the distribution of land resources and mineral deposits is not necessarily just for mining."
"Oh." She doesn't seem to understand.
The plough entered the courtyard, and Saihu and Huzi ran ahead of them and entered the house.
Finding that people were moving very slowly, Huzi ran out again to meet Blue Feather.
She cherished and wanted to pick up Huzi, but Lan Yu had just recovered and couldn't do anything, Huzi seemed to understand Lan Yu's intentions, so she put her front paws on her hands, and only used her hind legs to move her steps, and followed Lan Yu into the house.
This shot made Ivan a good annoyance.
"I found that Huzi wouldn't be able to do without you." He couldn't help but say.
"yes, so do I. I don't know how I'm going to leave her if school starts. ”
"I'll give you an idea, do you want to listen to it?" Ivan quirked mysteriously to make a suggestion.
"Well, listen." Lan Yu was curiously counting on him, waiting for what kind of god he could pay attention to.
"What about you, carry her back to school, I'll build a nest for you next to the canteen, she will be there to guard you, see which boy doesn't know how to bully you, she will go up and take a bite."
"Oh, Gang! Bite you! What a bad idea. Lan Yu felt that he had listened carefully and had died unjustly.
"Hehehe, that's a bad idea. Come here, eat, but there is a robe and meat, and you can eat it! ”
Uncle Ji and Ivan knew that they just wanted to make Blue Feather happy and forget about this creepy avalanche accident as soon as possible.
Lan Yu has been hospitalized in the hospital for a few days, and she hasn't eaten such a delicious home-cooked meal today, and she doesn't care about others saying that she looks ugly, so she stuffs her stomach firmly and then says, hehe.
Sure enough, I ate too much. Ivan said that he would accompany her out for a walk, to eliminate food, and to move her muscles and bones.
Walking around in the snow, Ivan really came up with a really good idea for Lan Yu, he said:
"I'll tell you, before you leave, you left Huzi something that you used with you, such as a towel or something, huh?"
"Ha, that's a great idea!"
Huzi walked with them beside him, as if he understood what the two people said, and the tail was wagging so loudly that Lan Yu was worried that she would shake her tail off.
The sun had already set, and it was rare to see no north wind blowing as it is now, and although it was still snowing, the temperature was pleasant.
Between the mountains on the opposite side and the thatched huts on the mountainside on this side is a valley covered in silver, and large feathers and snowflakes flutter in the sky, making the sky and the mountains form a hazy and hazy one.
Lan Yu and Ivan watched this scene together, and the countless snowflakes falling from the sky were like snow plum petals, gently fluttering in the air, and the romantic and precious wonders were interpreted for the two lovers.
