Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Old Wang smiled and nodded. "Of course. At your age, learning is the most important thing. I'm also thinking about you getting into QH University. Even if it's not in the School of Foreign Languages, it's fine to study other subjects. Tomorrow, come to the school to find me. I'll give you the book first, and you can go back and try it."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I will definitely work hard." Li Tianyi said excitedly.

Afterwards, Li Tianyi walked out of the classroom with the translation certificate. When he was leaving the house, Li Tianyi said goodbye to the old man in the room. The old man did not look up, but waved his hand and told Li Tianyi to get out.

He didn't care about the old man's attitude, but happily got on the tram and headed towards the courtyard.

It was already six o'clock when Li Tianyi returned to the courtyard. His father and mother had already gotten off work. When they saw their eldest son coming back from a day out, his father asked, "Big brother, what were you busy with today? You weren't home all day."

Li Tianyi held his little sister and sat on the stool. The little sister looked at her elder brother curiously, "Dad, I, your son, went to do something important today. I'll ask my mom to make something delicious for us to celebrate."

"What big thing made you so proud?" Father Li asked curiously.

When the younger sister heard that something was delicious, she started shouting for meat. Li Tianyi gently pinched her nose, making the little girl frown and open her brother's hand.

"Dad, look what this is?" Li Tianyi took out a translation certificate from his pocket.

Father Li took it and looked at it. It had the eldest brother's name on it, and the level was written as elementary Russian. Father Li was a little confused, and Li Tianyi felt like a blind man lighting a lamp in vain, so he took the translation certificate and planned to explain it to Father Li.

At this moment, Yan Bugui, who lived opposite Li's house, pushed the door open and walked in, "Brother Li, I want to borrow..." Before he finished speaking, he saw the father and son of the Li family looking at him. Yan Bugui felt a little embarrassed. Today, his wife found out that she was pregnant again, so he wanted to borrow a few eggs from the Li family to nourish his wife.

He had borrowed things from the Li family before, and the Li family was very generous. As long as you return the money, the Li family will definitely lend you money again next time.

"Brother Li, why are you and Tianyi looking at me like that?" Yan Bugui looked down at his clothes and found nothing wrong.

"Oh, it's okay, Teacher Yan, what do you plan to borrow?"

"I want to borrow five eggs. Jie Chengniang is pregnant again and I want to give her some nourishment."

Upon hearing this, Father Li immediately said, "Okay, this is good news. I'll get it for you now."

After saying that, he walked out of the room. "Teacher Yan, come here and sit down." Li Tianyi greeted Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui was sitting on a stool. He saw Li Tianyi holding a notebook with a stamp on it, so he asked Li Tianyi curiously, "Tianyi, what are you holding?"

Li Tianyi handed the translation certificate to Yan Bugui, "Teacher Yan, this is the elementary Russian translation certificate I just passed today."

"Ah? Translation certificate?" Yan Bugui immediately took it and took a look. Li Tianyi's name was written on the certificate, and there was a stamp underneath. This could not be forged, and no one dared to forge it.

Then Yan Bugui thought of the soldier from a few days ago, "Tianyi, was the soldier who came to your house a few days ago for this matter?"

Li Tianyi gave Yan Bugui a thumbs up. "Great! Teacher Yan, you reacted so quickly. That soldier is from the Military Control Commission. Didn't I go to the Military Control Commission to consult about taking the translation certificate exam? The comrades from the Military Control Commission investigated my situation and reported it to their superiors. Only after they agreed did I take the exam. I passed it today."

At this time, Father Li, who had already returned to the house, asked, "Boss, what is the use of this translation certificate?"

Li Tianyi looked at Yan Bugui, who didn't know much about this either, so he also looked at Li Tianyi and said, "With this translation certificate, you can go to Xinhua Bookstore or universities to take translation jobs. You will get translation fees for each book you translate."

"So good? Then can I go?" Yan Bugui looked at Li Tianyi excitedly.

"Of course you can, Mr. Yan, but you have to pass the translation test first, otherwise they won't give you the information."

"Then I will study now. How long will it take me to pass the exam?" Yan Bugui opened his small eyes and looked at Li Tianyi steadily.

"Teacher Yan, do you have a foundation in foreign languages?"

"Foreign language foundation?" Yan Bugui didn't quite understand what Li Tianyi said, so Li Tianyi explained it more clearly, "Do you know how to speak a foreign language before, whether it's English, French, or Russian?"

Yan Bugui was a little embarrassed. "I really don't know how to do this. Can you teach your uncle Yan later? I'll send you a fish later."

Li Tianyi was speechless. He wanted to take advantage of him. Did he just need your fish? But think about the situation of Yan Bugui's family. The whole family depends on his salary. Besides, there is a saying that life is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships. Living in this yard full of demons, it is necessary to properly win over this future third uncle. After all, they all live in the front yard.

"Teacher Yan, go to the library and borrow a book on basic Russian. I will teach you pronunciation every night. You can learn both pronunciation and pronunciation. When you can read the pronunciation, you can find a Russian dictionary to memorize. That's what I did. The translation certificate exam is not only a written test, but also an interview. During the interview, the professor will ask questions in Russian in person, and you need to answer them in Russian at an even speed without stumbling."

Teacher Yan asked Li's father for a piece of paper and a pencil and wrote down what Li Tianyi said.

"And Teacher Yan, I won't take your fish even if I teach you. From now on, you or Aunt Yang should just keep an eye on my younger sister and brother."

"That's no problem. Don't worry, Tianyi. Huzi and my Jiefang are getting along well. As for Jingjing, I'll ask Aunt Yang to keep an eye on her."

"Okay, Teacher Yan, let's start tomorrow night. You can go to the library tomorrow and ask the librarian where the beginner Russian books are."

Yan Bugui looked at Li Tianyi with gratitude. He knew that the Li family was an easy family to get along with. As long as he didn't cross the Li family's bottom line, they would be happy to help.

At this time, Father Li handed five eggs to Yan Bugui, "Brother, these five eggs are to congratulate you, and also to celebrate Tianyi's passing of the translation certificate. As for the courtyard, brother, don't tell anyone, I'm afraid that the people in the courtyard will cause trouble."

"This?" Yan Bugui knew that this was just a polite remark from Li's father. Although Yan Bugui usually liked to take advantage of others and was stingy, he also had his own bottom line, just like in the TV series, he secretly picked up scraps in order to reduce the burden on Sha Zhu.

"Take it, Teacher Yan." Li Tianyi echoed.

Yan Bugui finally accepted the five eggs and walked out of Li's house in silence.

At the Yan family, Yang Ruihua looked at her distraught husband and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? The Li family won't lend it to you?"

Yan Bugui shook his head and handed the five eggs in his arms to his wife. Yang Ruihua looked at the eggs and then at her husband. "What's wrong with you?"
