Chapter 176: Li Nan's best friend

No matter how long the night is, it will eventually pass. It's dawn in a blink of an eye, this is the first day of this week's Saturday and Sunday, and most of the people who have been busy with work all week will always breathe a sigh of relief on this rare rest day and sleep a little longer.

But Zhang Zhan still got up very early, because it has become his habit to get up early every day to exercise. And now he is no longer the time when he has just become his younger brother and is weak. At that time, he was too tired to run two kilometers in the morning, but now he goes out for a run of at least ten kilometers, and comes back with ease, without taking a breath.

When he returned home, Zhang Zhan's parents also got up. Although they don't get up early to exercise, they are all people who have a very regular life and never sleep lazy. Breakfast is fried dough sticks and soy milk, although it is simple, but this is the life of ordinary Chinese people.

Since he promised Li Nan that Officer Li would teach her classmates English conversation this afternoon, Zhang Zhan didn't plan to go out to do anything else, and waited for Li Nan's call at home. However, the time Li Nan said was in the afternoon, so in the morning for half a day, Zhang Zhan planned to accompany his parents at home and do some housework at home.

So after breakfast, Zhang Zhan was busy. First of all, I cleaned the house and cleaned the house. Then when my mother was about to go out to buy groceries, I volunteered to buy them on behalf of my mother. After going out to buy a lot of vegetables, although he couldn't cook vegetables, he took the initiative to take on the task of washing and cutting vegetables.

Zhang Zhan's expression naturally made his parents look at it in his eyes and be happy in his heart. The former son was a clean and pampered person, not to mention working at home. Even the summons can't move. But since the accident in the first half of the year and being beaten up, the whole person has suddenly changed. Become reasonable, no longer quirky. All the problems that made people shake their heads in the past seem to be gone. These changes naturally made the two old men happy and happy, thinking that their son had really grown up and matured, and he was no longer the worrisome and uneasy eccentric child he used to be.

One morning, Zhang Zhan took the initiative to work at home. After lunch, he was free and went back to his room to rest. and waited for Li Nan's phone call.

It's afternoon, though. But the specific points were not well said. Zhang Zhan couldn't sit and wait, so he turned on the computer and prepared to play online while waiting for Li Nan's call.

This one plays. Time passed quickly. Unknowingly, I watched a movie. I browsed news sites for a long time. Wait until Zhang Zhan feels wrong, grab his phone, and look at the time. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. This made him very strange, thinking that Li Nan hadn't called at this time, and there was still time to go to her classmate's house that afternoon. Teach them English conversation for traveling abroad?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhan wanted to take the initiative to call and ask. But after thinking about it, I felt that it was too much. If the situation changes, Li Nan will naturally call to inform. Since she hasn't called yet, it means that it's not time to call yet, right?

So Zhang Zhan put down his phone and continued to wait. The time passed slowly, minute by minute, and it was already past four o'clock, and Li Nan's phone had not yet called. Zhang Zhan finally couldn't sit still, picked up his mobile phone, and was about to call to ask what was going on? It's already four o'clock in the afternoon, do you still have time to teach her classmates English conversation?

As soon as I picked up my phone, it suddenly rang. At a glance, ahhh Just as he was about to call, Li Nan's call came.

Hurriedly connected the phone, Zhang Zhan put the phone to his ear and said, "Hey, what's the situation?" ”

Li Nan on the other end of the phone seemed to be stunned, and then said, "What's the situation?" I'm at the door of your community, come out quickly, I'll take you to my classmate's house. ”

Zhang Zhan was also stunned when he heard this, and said, "Still going at this time?" It's almost dinner, is it still too late? ”

Li Nan paused, seemed to immediately understand what Zhang Zhan meant, and couldn't help but say funny: "I just want to go when I have dinner!" My classmate meant to invite you to a light meal at her house first, and then ask you questions about English conversation, understand? ”

Zhang Zhan then understood, Li Nan said that when she called him in the afternoon, she didn't mean that she would start teaching her classmates English conversations in the afternoon. The time to really teach, but in the evening!

After understanding, Zhang Zhan had no choice but to smile bitterly. Okay, it's night, it's night, there's nothing else to do anyway, in order to get closer to this Officer Li, as long as it's not too much.

So Zhang Zhan said that he would come out immediately, put down his mobile phone and got up to go out. After turning off the computer, he went out of the room to explain the situation to his parents. Then he put on his shoes and opened the door and hurried downstairs.

When I came to the door of the community, I saw a very familiar white Cherokee parked not far from the door. With the car window open, you can see clearly, and the person sitting in the driver's seat inside is none other than Officer Li Nanli.

Obviously, this Cherokee is the one that Li Nan came to school to pick him up and take him to the traffic police brigade last time. This should be a bus, but I didn't expect Li Nan to drive over and pick him up to his classmate's house.

Zhang Zhan immediately walked over, first said hello to Li Nan in the car, and then went directly to the passenger seat, opened the door and went in.

When Li Nan saw Zhang Zhan coming in, he didn't say anything about greeting him with a smile. Just pouted and said expressionlessly: "Sit down, fasten your seat belt." ”

Zhang Zhan sighed, quickly closed the car door, pulled out his seat belt and fastened it. Before he could fully fasten it, the car started and drove off.

Since it was a rest day, Li Nan was naturally not wearing a police uniform today. Zhang Zhan fastened his belt and turned his head to look, and saw that she was still dressed in a leather jacket on the top and jeans on the bottom. Heroic and cool, temperament is cold. The appearance of the whole face is three points more beautiful than her sister. But in terms of figure, she is a little greener. It's not as round and beautiful as her sister, and it's sexy.

Of course, her always cold face does not have the gentleness and charm of her sister Li Bai. Even if she came to ask Zhang Zhan for an errand today, she still didn't have a smile, as if Zhang Zhan owed him 500 yuan and never paid it back.

Zhang Zhan knew that this was because Li Nan always had a grudge against him in his heart. For a girl, the kind of bare butt that looks like being seen is too embarrassing and embarrassing. If you want to face it naturally, I'm afraid it's still difficult for a while.

So Zhang Zhan wanted to break this embarrassment and make everyone feel more comfortable. He pondered for a while, and began to ask without words: "By the way, your classmate, what is her name and where does she live?" ”

The question was asked, but Li Nan did not answer. As if I hadn't heard. Still concentrating on driving with a cold face. Zhang Zhan waited for a while and felt strange. I thought that there was nothing taboo about my question, so why didn't you answer me? Although she may still have a grudge against that incident in her heart, but today she begged me to do something, what kind of attitude is this?

Zhang Zhan is not the kind of person who likes to stick a hot face to other people's cold butts. Seeing that Li Nan didn't answer, he didn't react. And he spoke no more. If it weren't for the fact that I had planned to get closer to her. and Li Nan's sister Li Bai's plea yesterday. Maybe she immediately asked Li Nan to stop and leave by herself, and didn't help her with this favor.

And Li Nan is actually very contradictory at this time, to be honest. She really didn't want to ask Zhang Zhan to do something. But my sister didn't help, and she boasted about Haikou in front of her classmates, and there was no way to change it. That's why I was reluctant and had to ask Zhang Zhan for it.

And for Zhang Zhan, she is not really disgusted. Although she had heard her sister talk about some of his bad deeds in school before, after such a long period of contact, she really didn't find anything disgusting. And Zhang Zhan saved her mother, seriously speaking, he is the benefactor of their family, she should be grateful and grateful.

But the troubles of that night really made Li Nan unable to let go. Originally, when she encountered this kind of thing, she only needed to beat the other party out of anger, and then it would be over. But this person appeared at her house because of the reason to save her mother, and she couldn't beat or scold, and there was no reason to do it at all. This huge dumb loss made Li Nan feel extremely uncomfortable in her heart, so she didn't have a good face for Zhang Zhan all along. Even if she came to beg him to do something today, there was not a single smile on him.

The car kept driving like this, and the two people in the car were silent, and the atmosphere was very dull. About ten minutes passed, Zhang Zhan felt that the speed of the car suddenly slowed down, and then began to pull over slowly, and then drove onto the sidewalk on the side of the street, as if looking for a place to stop.

This situation made him realize that the place where Li Nan was going to take him here today was probably around here.

This place is in the downtown area, and across the street is the city's most famous district hospital. If the classmate Li Nan said lived here, it would be quite convenient to see a doctor when he was sick. But looking at the lack of decent residential buildings in the vicinity, I'm afraid that Li Nan's classmate and wife will not be the kind of rich and noble characters.

When he first thought about this, Li Nan had already parked the car completely. Just off the sidewalk, and beyond that, there are a few shops. Above the shop, there should be a building where people live.

At this time, Li Nan, who had been silent, finally spoke. She turned her head to look at Zhang Zhan, and first said lightly, "It's here." After a pause, he seemed to remember Zhang Zhan's question earlier, and felt the need to answer, so he said again: "My classmate's surname is Zhu, and her husband's surname is Shi. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhan wanted to laugh but couldn't. He asked this question ten minutes ago, but he didn't expect Li Nan to answer it to him now. If he hadn't introduced the couple to him sooner or later, I'm afraid Li Nan would have been too lazy to talk to him, right?

This Officer Li, how much does he not want to see himself? Didn't you just look at her bare ass? It wasn't on purpose, and it was her own mistake, as for holding a grudge all the time?

After Li Nan finished speaking, he pushed the car door and went out. Zhang Zhan smiled bitterly and shook his head, and also pushed the door and got out of the car. After closing the car door, he saw that Li Nan had already walked towards a small alley on the side, so he had to hurry up and follow.

The two of them quickly entered the alley, and before they could take a few steps, Li Nan had already turned to the back of the building on the side of the street. It seems that her classmate and his wife should live on this floor, and this is where the corridor leading to the upper floor is located.

Sure enough, after walking more than a dozen steps, Li Nan entered a unit corridor of the building, and without waiting for Zhang Zhan at all, he had already gone up the stairs by himself, although Zhang Zhan was unhappy. However, thinking of what Li Bai said to him on the phone yesterday, he could only be patient for the time being, and not care about Li Nan's rudeness.

still went upstairs one after the other, and Li Nan finally stopped when he walked to the third floor. Reach out and ring the doorbell on the right. The music of the electronic doorbell immediately sounded in the room, and then a woman's voice was faintly shouting, "Here it is! ”

The door was quickly opened, and a petite and delicate woman about Li Nan's age was revealed. Seeing Li Nan standing outside the door, he immediately smiled and said, "Coming?" What about the teacher who came? ”

At this time, Zhang Zhan had just walked up the last staircase on the third floor when the woman heard footsteps. Already turned his head and saw him. I saw that it was a handsome young man standing there. I can't help but light up my eyes.

And since Zhang Zhan hadn't been introduced by Li Nan, it was not easy for him to greet this woman directly, so he could only smile and look at her without speaking.

It's time like this. Li Nan couldn't ignore Zhang Zhan. After all, he was asked by her to help today. She can't go to someone else's house, she still has to put on a stinky face to Zhang Zhan, right? Let's not talk about whether this will embarrass everyone. Just say that his old classmate Zhu Yan must be very strange. If she asks why, how will she explain and answer?

So Li Nan had to cough. Then he reluctantly put on a smiling face and introduced the two of them: "Zhu Yan, he is the Teacher Zhang I said." Teacher Zhang, this is my classmate Zhu Yan. ”

Hearing Li Nan's introduction, of course, her classmate Zhu Yan immediately stretched out her hand with a smile on her face to welcome: "Welcome, Teacher Zhang, I can look forward to you." Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to teach us English! ”

In the face of others' sincere welcome, Zhang Zhan naturally would not be rude, he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake her, and responded with a smile: "Where, Ms. Zhu is too polite." Officer Lee's sister is a colleague of mine, so she should do this little favor. Besides, today is a day off, and I don't have anything to do at home. I am really happy to have the opportunity to meet Ms. Zhu. ”

Zhang Zhan's decent answer made Li Nan's classmate Zhu Yan suddenly feel that he had found the right person. Originally, when she saw that this Teacher Zhang was so young and handsome, she already had a good impression, but now when she heard him answer so politely, she felt that this should be a very educated man. The teacher is Su zhì Gao, this English teacher surnamed Zhang must be very popular in the school, right?

So Zhu Yan then warmly invited Zhang Zhan into her home, and after Zhang Zhan entered, she also winked at her best friend Li Nan outside the door, saying that she had done a good job, and the English teacher she invited was really good.

Li Nan naturally understood what his best friend meant by blinking, and he could only smile bitterly at the moment, thinking that this surname Zhang was really not something I was willing to invite, and there was really no way, so I had to call him over. Don't look at him like a dog, and he seems to be quite polite, but in fact, his English speaking level is really not good. If he teaches English that even foreigners can't understand, he's going to make a joke.

But at this time, Li Nan couldn't say anything, the person was invited by her, and she had to teach if she did, and if she didn't, she had to teach. I hope God willing, this surname Zhang will not be so bad. Anyway, I also teach English professionally, so I can get by!

When Li Nan was thinking like this, Zhang Zhan had already walked into the living room. At first glance, the house is about no more than 100 square meters, with two rooms and a larger living room. The house is probably not new, but the decoration seems to have been done not so long ago. Whether it is furniture or other items in the room, it is obvious that it is brand new.

However, it is also easy to understand that this is a new house for a couple who have just gotten married, or who have not yet married, and the furniture and supplies naturally need to be new. As for this house, it is probably a second-hand house or the old house of the parents, which is obviously not financially rich for the newcomers, and they can't afford to buy a new house, so they can only live in the old house.

Just as Zhang Zhan was looking at the house, Zhu Yan, the hostess who accompanied him in, shouted: "Husband, the English teacher invited by Li Nan has come, come out and meet him!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone in the kitchen immediately respond: "Come on, come right away!" ”

After a few seconds, a stocky and stocky man came out of the kitchen wiping his hands. He looked like he was about twenty-seven or eight years old, wearing an apron for stir-frying and cooking, with a smile on his round face, and when he saw Zhang Zhan, he stretched out his hand and smiled: "You are Teacher Zhang, right?" Welcome, welcome, I'm Zhu Yan's husband. The surname is Shi, just call me Xiao Shi. ”

Zhang Zhan was really stunned when he saw that Zhu Yan's husband was actually a short and fat man, older than him, and even called himself Xiao Shi. However, he reacted immediately, hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake him, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Shi, fortunately." ”

This Zhu Yan's husband doesn't seem to be very good at being polite with people, and after saying the previous words of welcome and self-introduction, he obviously doesn't know what to say next. After a while, he finally held back a sentence and said, "Teacher Zhang." You sit. You sit. I'm cooking a stir-fry, and that one will be ready to eat in a while. ”

Zhu Yan obviously knew that her husband was not very good at talking, so she immediately took over the conversation and asked her husband to go back to the kitchen to be busy. While inviting Zhang Zhan to sit down on the sofa in the living room.

When making tea for Zhang Zhan and Li Nan. Zhu Yan said with a smile: "My husband is an honest man. Not very good at talking. But he is a chef by profession, and cooking and stir-frying is what he is best at. After a while, please taste the dishes he made and see if it suits your appetite. ”

Zhang Zhan said modestly: "Since Mr. Shi is a chef. The craftsmanship must have been excellent. But I'm just here to do a little favor, and I really don't deserve such a grand reception. Ms. Zhu, you are so polite. ”

Zhu Yan had already come over with the brewed tea, and while putting down the teacup in front of Zhang Zhan and Li Nan, she said to Zhang Zhan with a smile: "Where, Teacher Zhang is willing to come and teach us English conversation, that really helps us a lot." It's just a light meal, and it's really not worth mentioning. By the way, Mr. Zhang, my husband and I are not both highly educated, especially in English, and he and I are basically very bad. You see, can we master some everyday English language in a short period of time? ”

Zhang Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "If only you and your husband are traveling abroad, the English conversation you need to master is not just everyday language. Because when you go abroad, you will encounter a lot of English conversations in specific situations. For example, at the airport, in the hotel, in the tourist area, in the shopping mall, etc. If you only know a few words for everyday use, then I'm sure you're going to have a hard time moving abroad. ”

At this time, Zhu Yan had already sat down on the sofa on Zhang Zhan's side, and when she heard his words, Zhu Yan said: "We have also taken these into account, otherwise we would not have asked Teacher Zhang to come over to help us." Some simple everyday words don't need to be taught by a teacher. It's just that when we need to communicate with foreigners on some specific occasions, we can't understand and can't speak, which is the troublesome part. So Mr. Zhang, we need you to help us solve this trouble. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Zhan nodded and said, "Yes, I will summarize the English conversations that you will inevitably use and may use after you go abroad, and then teach you how to speak and listen." When going out, the most important thing is nothing more than three aspects: food, shelter and transportation. As long as there is no problem with the most basic communication in these three areas, then you will definitely not have much trouble traveling abroad. Of course, you won't be able to remember just one night. My idea is that it's better for me to go through these English conversations first, and you can record what I say and then memorize it slowly. By the way, do you have a recording device at home? ”

Zhu Yan hurriedly said: "Yes, there is a computer at home, which can record." If it really doesn't work, my phone also has a recording function, no problem. ”

Zhang Zhan said: "That's good, if it's recorded in your mobile phone, then if you forget the conversation I taught you after you go abroad, you can also temporarily call it out and learn and speak now, isn't it much more convenient?" ”

Zhu Yan smiled: "That's right, Mr. Zhang's method is good." My husband and I are both the kind of people who are stupid learners and can't remember that many English conversations in one night. After recording in this way, not only can you learn it slowly, but you can also take it directly on your body and be ready to learn it at any time, which is really convenient. Teacher Zhang, you are still smart, you can also think of such a good way. ”

Zhang Zhan smiled and said, "I'm just having an idea, and it's best if I can help Ms. Zhu." ”

At this time, Zhu Yan no longer felt bad about Zhang Zhan, but felt very satisfied. Originally, she still had a headache for only one night, and I was afraid that she would not be able to learn a few basic English conversations. I didn't expect the teacher invited by my best friend Li Nan to be so smart, and he casually proposed a construction yì, and this problem was solved. Now, with Mr. Zhang's recording in hand, there won't be so much trouble after going abroad! (To be continued......)
