"Sorry, this is an expression of our Chinese - modesty!" What is patriotism? How to be patriotic, Su Qingyu never thought about it before, but he has realized his patriotism now, because, on this topic, Su Qingyu did not show weakness: You have your habits, we have our customs.

What he didn't expect was that this time, he would lose in this regard. Since she was a child, Ari loved to communicate with her father's Chinese students, and no matter what, she always knew a little bit about Chinese culture: "Follow the local customs, this is what you Chinese say, you should know that this is Australia!" ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll take note." Su Qingyu felt aggrieved: Grandma's, was asked by the hairy girl.

"You seem a little insincere?" Ari is unforgiving.

"No, I suddenly realized that I had learned too little and understood too little, and I thought, I'll learn well." Su Qingyu had to bow his head.

"Do you know how to cook? Oh, by the way, what are you Chinese called? Ari asked.

"It's cooking!" Su Qingyu replied.

"Yes, it's called cooking, do you?" Ari asked.

"Yes!"

"Great, there's a chance, you can do it for me." Ari wasn't polite at all.

"Of course!" As a student, cooking food for the teacher is a kind of "filial piety", and Su Qingyu is not stingy.

"Alright then, now, you can come with me! Dad, I love you, goodbye! The first half of Ari's sentence was to Su Qingyu, and the second half of the sentence was of course to her father.

"Have fun, baby!" Professor Luke sent his daughter and Su Qingyu to the door.

It can be said that out of a kind of "pride" or a kind of patriotism, Su Qingyu did not accept the habit of Westerners, and he bowed to Professor Luke as a farewell in a Chinese way.

"I'll take you to buy props first!" Outside the school gate, Ai Rui, who was thinking about where to go, stopped and looked at Su Qingyu in a suit and leather shoes: "You need sneakers, casual clothes, swim trunks, sunglasses, ......"

Ari said a long list of things, even the ropes, and it seemed that he was going to the wild.

"Did you bring any money? Most of the students who come here to study are rich, and you should be regarded as the rich second generation that you Chinese say, right? Ai Rui tilted his head, looked at Su Qingyu and asked.

Seeing that Su Qingyu didn't answer, he said again: "If you don't have money, then for the sake of you being my father's student, I'll lend it to you first, but you must remember to pay me back...... Food, we AA system, you can rest assured, I will not take advantage of you, and also, you know Chinese cooking, then, when there is a condition, you have to serve me. ”

It seems that the professor is absolutely correct to let Su Qingyu follow Eri, she is very crucial.

"Hmm!" Su Qingyu nodded in response.

"If you want to learn a language well, you first want to speak, and you have to speak a lot, you know? By the way, you'll also need a professional dictionary on fruit trees and geography, which is a must-have. Ari said.

"Thank you, everything is up to you, I think the professor introduced me to a good teacher." If you want to speak, simply start by patting on the back; Su Qingyu slapped it appropriately.

"Of course, you know, I have been in contact with you Chinese students many times, and under the influence of my father, I also like your major, and I am definitely the best teacher, so you should learn to compliment." Ari spoke very naturally, and he didn't blush at all.

"Then you teach me if it's a compliment!" As soon as the words came out, Su Qingyu regretted it: How can you say such a thing?

Fortunately, Ari was not angry at all, and said seriously: "Well, I think I can teach you well, I just hope you can be smart and don't make me too tired." ”

Su Qingyu didn't make Ari feel tired, in the first few days, Ari took Su Qingyu around the city, from shopping malls and restaurants to the government and playgrounds, and even took him to CASINO and Sex club. These things are incredible to Chinese, but they are a normal thing in Ari's opinion.

Under Ai Rui's guidance and correction, Su Qingyu's proficiency in oral language improved by leaps and bounds, and he was also praised by Ai Rui: "Su, you are very talented in language. ”

"I'm a man!" Su Qingyu's answer puzzled Ari, because she couldn't understand the self-confidence and pride of Chinese men.

So, she asked puzzledly, "Is this related to Chinese men?" ”

"Hehe, just kidding!" Su Qingyu didn't want to bother with this question.

"You don't seem to have a sense of humor!" Ari said; Because she didn't think it was funny at all.

"Well—yes, no!" Su Qingyu thought for a while and said.

"Will it or not? Will it be yes, it won't be won't, why do you say it won't? You know? I hate this way of expression of you Chinese, you are not blunt at all, of course, I know that according to you Chinese, it is called modesty, but I think you are very hypocritical. In short, after I met so many of my father's students, I think you Chinese are really not very good at humor. The outspoken Ari was right to the point.

"I admit it......," Su Qingyu replied.

"Well, why don't you learn to be humorous? Don't you know that life needs laughter? Ari asked.

"No, dear Miss Arrow, I admit that in your feelings, we people don't know how to be humorous, but in fact, it's not, because humor needs cultural connotation, so you think we don't understand humor, because you don't understand Chinese culture, of course, we can't express our feelings to you, but also because of cultural differences, if you learn to study Chinese literature, or later, I get acquainted with your customs, you won't feel like this." Regarding Eri's small accusations, Su Qingyu gradually consciously felt the need to argue; He didn't think about why, because most people don't think about this problem, in fact, this problem lies in patriotism, in the heart of every Chinese, the motherland is sacred, and it also includes traditional Chinese culture.

"Is that so?" Ari's eyes were full of questions.

"Yes, iResearch, China's 5,000-year-old culture has a long history, which is all-encompassing and all-encompassing."

"Is that so?" Ari said the same thing again, and it seemed that she still didn't believe it.

"Definitely!" Su Qingyu also emphasized again.

"So, I'll tell you a story, which is a joke you tell, and if you can tell a joke like that, I'll admit it." After all, Ari is a little girl, and she is born with a competitive and inquisitive mentality.

"Once upon a time, a couple gave birth to a child, and this child, who had never been able to speak, suddenly said when he was four years old: Grandma died, and then, again, he stopped talking. A week later, his grandmother was dead; Two years later, when the child was six years old, he suddenly said again: Grandpa is dead; After a week, the child's grandfather really died again. Two years later, the boy said, "Daddy is dead." When the child's father heard this, he completely lost the idea of survival, and he went to buy a coffin himself, put it at home, and on the night of the sixth day, washed himself cleanly, and dressed neatly, and lay down directly in the coffin.

At this time, his wife, the mother of the child, came home, saw her husband like this, and asked him why, and he said, "This is so that you can rest assured, and you are going to die anyway." The child's mother was very angry and scolded fiercely: Stupid pig, isn't the neighbor already dead......? After finishing speaking, Ai Rui looked at Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu smiled faintly: "It's a funny story, and we also have it: there was a girl who was admitted to the engineering college, and for this, the neighbors often praised in front of the girl's mother: You gave birth to a good daughter; But the girl's mother said with a bitter face: "What's good, this child brings a group of classmates home every Saturday, and every time I hear it on the side, it is the same topic of discussion: either genetics or environment; You say, 'What is there to discuss?' We all know that if the child is born like his father, it is genetic, and if the child is like a neighbor, it is the environment! ”

After listening to this story, Arihaha laughed: "It's not as funny as ours, but it does have some meaning, more profound than our conciseness and expression, is this what you Chinese call 'implicit'?" ”

Hearing Ai Rui's admission, Su Qingyu felt a sense of satisfaction and pride, and he nodded lightly: "Compared to these adult jokes, what do I like more than these adult jokes, the myths and legends of my country?" ”

"Myths and legends?"

"Yes, haven't you ever heard of it?"

"I've heard it, I've heard Tianxian Pei, that story is too poignant, too regrettable and helpless."
