Chapter 29: Walking Side by Side

Xue Lian stroked her hair back and smiled sweetly at him, saying, "You may ask me, what is the right way to learn?" In fact, it is difficult to say this, because it varies from person to person, and it cannot be generalized. I think that a good learning method may not be suitable for you, just like shoes, it may not be appropriate for you to put them on when I take them off, so the learning methods provided by others for you are just a reference, and you must not copy them rigidly. If you are like me, my English is not bad! But my method of learning English is not suitable for you, because my method is to read a lot of original foreign languages. It may seem incredible to you, but it's a great way for me to learn English, but unfortunately it won't work for you. Snow Lotus walked side by side with him and guided him through the maze.

"Actually! Learning English is nothing more than listening, speaking, reading and writing, these four abilities, and our current main test is listening and written test, although we do not read, but reading is an indispensable content of learning English, all top English students have worked reading. But reading is also particular, and you can't read it all at once. You have to combine your English level and read selectively, as long as you pass the reading, then those reading comprehension! Fill in the blanks! Not at all. For students like you who have a poor foundation in English and a thin foundation, the main thing is to read textbooks, read every text you have learned thoroughly until you memorize it, so that a little bit of accumulation, you will find that your English level has improved a lot unconsciously. Of course, you can also extend a little bit outside of class, but don't be greedy. As the saying goes: if you are greedy and chew more, you will mainly focus on textbooks, understand? ”

Zhicheng asked with doubts: "I usually read textbooks!" Why doesn't it work? ”

"You have to read the textbook intensively, and you have to understand it, and you must use your brain and mind when you read it. And you have to keep going back and read the texts you've learned. If you just read it in general terms, the effect will definitely not be good. In addition, Zhicheng, I think you must have a certain psychological barrier in learning English, which means that you are always timid and atrophied in the process of learning. Don't always think of English as a burden on yourself, and don't see him as a beast. This kind of bad psychological mood of yours is very scary, and it is not only very tiring to learn, but also not very effective. Therefore, you must not have any baggage psychologically, deal with all this easily, maintain an optimistic mood, no big deal, stand tall and stride forward......" Xuelian suddenly stopped her elegant steps and stretched out her hand to Zhicheng beside her: "Come, let my fire ball pass on some energy to you, and warm up your 'ice egg'......"

Zhicheng looked at her stupidly, not knowing if she was joking or really shaking hands, and was a little overwhelmed for a while......

"What? Are you afraid that I will assassinate you? What are you afraid of shaking hands? I don't think I'm going to get pregnant. Giggle......" she smiled at him and said with a friendly smile: "I'm quite feudal, I didn't expect you to be more feudal than me, it's no problem to shake hands!" ”

Zhicheng bit his lip for a long time before putting his hand behind her flexible hand, who knew that as soon as he put it in, he was grabbed tightly by her. I didn't expect her to be quite strong, compared to Zhicheng's hand, it was as weak as cotton.

"Zhicheng, trust me!" Xue Lian stared at him with hot eyes and encouraged: "At the same time, you must also believe in yourself, there is no eternal lead, only a temporary lag!" Don't be discouraged, everything will be fine, anyway, we're just in the first year of high school, and we have time. As long as you are willing to work hard, I promise to make your English score step by step. To say that you eat a fat man in one bite, it is unrealistic, freezing three feet, not a day's cold! So, don't rush it, let's take our time. In the beginning, don't aim too high and aim for a passing grade. And then strive for excellence, step by step! It's the law ......"

Zhicheng's nose was sour, and he also held her hand tightly, and said emotionally: "Xuelian, thank you, your words really moved me so much." Really, I thought you were going to hate me to death and annoy me for the rest of your life. I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous and give me such enthusiastic help, last time it was all my fault, I blamed you......" Zhicheng didn't know what to say for a while, bit his lip and lowered his head.

Xue Lian clearly saw the tears in his eyes flashing, but she didn't expect this dumb guy to be quite emotional. She slowly withdrew her hand and said, "Zhicheng, don't blame yourself too much, as the saying goes: If you don't fight, you won't know each other!" Right? It seems that my fire is really fierce, and it will roast your 'ice egg' to tears in a while. She laughed with a childlike look of innocence.

Now Xuelian's biggest impression on Zhicheng is that he loves to talk and laugh, and he is very cheerful.

Zhicheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xuelian, I really know you today, I may have had a certain prejudice against you before. ”

"Actually, if you don't say it, I know it, I have already seen it, and I believe that you will have a deeper understanding of me in future interactions. Also, I'd love to study what your ice skate is...... Alright, it's time for me to turn the corner, so let's stop here today! It's a big week, don't waste it on the road. The war between 'ice' and 'fire' has just begun......"

Zhicheng smiled stiffly and held the small broken canvas bag in his arms with some pity, glanced at her deeply and said, "Okay, Snow Lotus, then be it!" Then I'll go first. As he spoke, he stepped away from her.

Xue Lian sneered and said, "What? You can really run back! ”

"What's wrong?" Zhicheng stopped and looked at her bright smiling face and asked, "You don't believe it?" ”

Xue Lian pushed her bicycle and took a few steps towards him and said, "Your Zaoshuwan is at least forty miles away from here, right?" ”

"You...... How do you know I'm in Zaoshu Bay? Zhicheng stared at her in surprise.

"There are no more than five people in our class from the countryside, how can I not know it as the class leader. When I was young, my grandfather also took me to your jujube tree bay to catch up with the market...... Do you really have the confidence to go back so far? ”

Zhicheng looked at her half-believing look, and said nonchalantly: "Hmph, what is this!" It's so much easier than learning English! Just walk with your feet open! There is no mountain higher than a man, no road longer than a foot......"

Xue Lian said admiringly: "Wow! You are quite energetic, since you have this kind of spirit, are you afraid that you will not be able to learn English well? ”

Zhicheng stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead and said, "At present, I am not afraid of anything, just English!" Really, if you can help me pass the English test, let alone 40 miles, you just let me run 400 miles, and I am willing. "He looked very serious.

I don't think about this sentence, the snow lotus's eye sockets are hot, and the nose is pantothenic. She really realized how eager he was to learn English well, so she said very sincerely: "Zhicheng, don't worry!" As long as you have this spirit. I will definitely do my best to help you and strive to make your English score break through the 100 mark before entering the second year of high school...... As long as you work hard, I firmly believe that I will be able to do it. ”

Zhicheng also said emotionally: "If my English score really improves, don't say 100 points, even if I can pass, I will thank you very much!" Really ......"

Xue Lian smiled at him movingly and teased, "Then how are you going to thank me then?" ”

"I ......" Zhicheng scratched his scalp with difficulty. Oh, yes! How can I thank this young lady from a poor family! Finally, he fiddled with the broken bag in his arms and said, "You can let me do whatever I want!" Really, as long as it's not murder and arson, I'll listen to you. I'll give you two days as a slave. Hey hey ......"

Xue Lian burst into tears of excitement when she heard this, and said, "I'm playing with you, you are still serious!" If you really want to thank me at that time, just wait for me to help you break through 100 points, and get me a bag of jujubes! I heard that your jujube in Zaoshuwan is famous. Eating can cure all diseases, is there really such a god? ”

"Hehe, it's not that powerful, if it can really cure all diseases, then what do you need a hospital for. However, it is true that eating it is good for your health, because the jujube trees in our village are different from those in other places, they are all self-growing, and there is no need to apply fertilizer and pesticides. In our current words, it is pure natural green food. ”

"No wonder your village is called 'Zaoshuwan', I also heard that your village never sells dates, why don't you sell them?"

"How do you know so much? Our jujube is indeed not sold, it is said that this is the rule handed down from the old generation, no matter how poor you are, you will not come to the market to sell jujubes, and now we don't have many jujube forests, a cultural revolution, cut down two-thirds. At that time, there was one of the oldest jujube trees, which were eight or nine hundred years old, and they were cut down at the time of *. According to the elderly, the jujube on the tree is very big, red and fragrant and sweet like eggs, and it is said that it is the jujube on this tree that can cure all diseases, because it is the oldest jujube tree in the village, and no one can tell its age. The people of the village called him the 'Tree God'. Whoever has a disease, kowtow to him twice and then burn incense, and then pick two dates and eat them. It's a pity that it was cut by the rural work team at that time, what do you say to break the superstition......" Zhicheng shook his head sadly.

Xue Lian looked into the distance, exhaled a long breath, and said, "Yes! What a ridiculous time it was! She raised her arm and glanced at the watch on her wrist and said, "Oh, it's not too early, I'm not going back, my parents should be worried again." She slipped her backpack out of the basket and slung it over her shoulder, smiling at him and saying, "Here, you can ride my bike away." ”

Zhicheng came back to his senses, hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand to excuse himself and said, "Oh, no, no, no, I can really run back...... I'm used to it. Snow Lotus, ride away! What a little bit of a road! Bitter or not, think about the 25,000 Long March, tired or not, think about the revolutionary old-timers! ”

Xue Lian couldn't help but smile and bent over, and at the same time covered her little mouth shyly, thinking that this was really a fool.

"Hey, hey, you...... What are you laughing at? ”

"Laugh at you!" Xue Lian tried hard to control her gaffe, straightened up and said, "The way you speak is weirdly interesting." Okay, don't delay the time, take it quickly! The old-timers of the revolution want to ride, but they can't get it. What are you doing standing there stupidly? She smiled and rubbed the tip of her nose with the back of her hand, and her graceful and elegant movements were really tireless.

As soon as Zhicheng saw that she really wanted to lend it to him, he was embarrassed to take the bicycle from her hand, and asked her at the same time, "That...... So what are you doing? ”

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm very close to home, and I'm just a limp away." She helped him put the canvas bag in his arms into the front basket of the bicycle and said, "No, I can still go home by bus." Seeing Zhicheng stunned, she grinned and said, "What? Don't you understand even this? Do you want me to translate it into Chinese for you? ”

Zhicheng came back to his senses and scratched the back of his head, smiled embarrassedly and said, "Oh! No, no, no! But I ......."

"Don't you and me, let's go!" She smiled and raised her creamy snow arm and waved at him cheerfully.

Zhicheng was moved by the mess, nodded at her, and almost didn't throw out the tears.
