Chapter 11 Watching Movies and Learning English

"Please sign in!"

Li Dan has grown so big, for the first time today, he didn't lie in bed for the first time, he washed up early, sat at the desk with a book and pretended to read.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the long-awaited voice of Sister Chi Ling finally rang in my ears.

"Hmm!"

"Successful check-in! Reading card or beauty card, please choose! ”

Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief, and chose the reading card without hesitation, and then a green reading card appeared in his mind.

"Use a library card!"

Li Dan aimed at a thick book on the table and used a green reading card.

In an instant, countless streams of information drilled into my mind, and the whole brain felt a little hot, like a hot mobile phone in the middle of winter.

After about a minute, Li Dan felt that his brain gradually cooled down, and then casually picked up the college entrance examination English review essentials on the table, and suddenly felt that every word on it, every bird language that he didn't understand before, became as familiar as his native language.

"Let's watch the movie and give it a try."

Li Dan couldn't wait to come to the living room, turned on the TV, used the Xiaomi box to find his favorite Hollywood movie "The Shawshank Redemption", sat on the sofa and watched it.

"Dandan, why are you watching TV again? Did you tell your mom? Father Li brushed his teeth and walked out of the bathroom sleepily.

"I watched movies to learn English." Li Dan glanced at his father, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

Lao Li worked overtime late last night, and it is said that the police station received a report from enthusiastic citizens that a foot massage shop in the jurisdiction had exceeded the boundary.

"Watching a movie is watching a movie, you have to be so lofty, what English to learn? Yesterday we caught a guy, and he was stunned to say that he was learning English from a foreign girl, did he learn English with a bare ass in bed? ”

Father Li looked disapproving, his requirements for Li Dan were relatively low on weekdays, as long as he didn't cause trouble.

Regarding the confiscation of Li Dan's mobile phone and the prohibition of him from watching TV and playing with the computer, Li's father also felt that it was somewhat inappropriate, but he still couldn't screw Li's mother.

"How do you say this nonsense in front of your children?"

Mother Li came out of the kitchen with an apron in her hand, still carrying a kitchen knife, murderous.

"He's also a big boss, and this dark side of society will come into contact sooner or later...... What are you doing with a knife? ”

Father Li slipped into the bathroom and locked the door from the inside.

Li Mu snorted coldly, glanced at Li Dan who was sitting on the sofa and watching TV, and just wanted to say something, but found that he was staring intently at the characters in the movie, and his eyes did not peek at the Chinese subtitles below.

"Really? Is this bastard really learning English? Mother Li shook her head and continued to go back to the kitchen to cook her best pork belly, banana and millet porridge.

Li Dan sat on the sofa, already fascinated, and for the first time in his life, he watched a Hollywood English original movie without any obstacles.

After reading the subtitles below without distraction, the wonderful storyline and the classic performances of each character have been seamlessly connected, and the viewing experience has been directly upgraded by N grades!

"Some birds shouldn't be kept in cages because their feathers are so rich, and when they fly away, you will sincerely congratulate them on their freedom......"

When this classic line passed through Li Dan's ears in the form of the original English pronunciation and reached the depths of his heart, he felt his soul tremble, this wonderful feeling was felt for the first time in his life, it was simply intoxicating.

"I look back on the past, the little fool who committed a serious crime, I want to communicate with him to make him understand, but I can't do it, that young man is long gone, only my old body is left......"

When he heard this, Li Dan suddenly felt sad.

There will always be a day when people will grow old.

The difference is that when you are old, you are enjoying the fruits of your hard work when you were young, or you are suffering from the pain and sadness of being young, and even spend your life to pay for your mistakes.

After the movie ended, Li Dan opened the next movie.

The mood just now was too heavy, Li Dan simply chose a relatively brisk and bright movie "Detective Sherlock".

In this movie, when the protagonist Sherlock Holmes analyzes the case, he not only speaks extremely quickly, but also has an astonishing amount of information in his words.

Li Dan listened more laboriously this time, and from time to time he needed to play back the plot of the movie, and listened to it several times to understand it all.

Sometimes, he even needs to dig out the English-Chinese dictionary to look up some more obscure words.

Li's father and Li's mother stood aside and looked dumbfounded.

My son is really learning English by watching movies! And I learned it very seriously! Hold the dictionary in your arms and look up the words!

"Lao Li, did you say that our son was stimulated by something? Will the brain be broken? ”

"What nonsense? This is the excellent genes of our old Li family, and after nearly 18 years of hiding in the snow, they finally shine! ”

"Why don't you take the time to go back to your hometown recently?"

"See what?"

"Let's see if the ancestral grave of your old Li family is smoking?"

"Hmm...... I'll really have to take a look at ......."

"Don't even think about it! Do you want to take the opportunity to go back to your hometown for a few days? ”

"Teasing you! Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching in more than a month, and I am going to be busy with my feet hitting the back of my head again, how can the director approve my leave? ”

The two of them were muttering for a long time when they suddenly smelled a mushy smell wafting from the kitchen.

"It's broken! Broken! Broken! My soupβ€”"

Mother Li screamed all the way to the kitchen.

The water in the casserole has long since dried up, the millet in it is almost popcorn, and the pork belly is also black, mixed with bananas, and it is completely indistinguishable from each other.

"Alasβ€”β€”! Lao Li, it's all your fault! My best soup is cooked like this! ”

Mother Li sighed for a long time and was distressed.

Recently, the price of pork has risen, and the pork belly is more than twice as expensive as before, and she deliberately put more when she made soup today, which is all a waste!

Father Li and Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief, and they had a feeling of being amnesty.

"What do you mean by that? Do you think my soup is not delicious? ”

Mother Li wasted a big pot of ingredients, and her anger was not going well.

"Or ...... Shall we go out for a bite to eat at noon? We just paid for our overtime last month......"

Father Li asked tentatively.

Li Dan nodded busily on the side, and also looked at his mother expectantly.

"What to eat? The food outside is so expensive, why don't we save some money for Dandan's daughter-in-law? ”

Mother Li immediately vetoed it.

Father Li lowered his head and glanced at Li Dan on the sofa, shook his head and said, "Hey, it's a little more money to save!" As long as the balls look like this, how much gift money does the woman have to ask for to marry her daughter? ”
