Xu Fuji

To say that Xu Chunfeng studies very hard. Although he has to go to McDonald's to work every day, the rest of the time is spent in the library or in the dormitory.But something was wrong with what he learned.He always wanted to learn English hard and catch up, but he lost his mind when he was learning.When you pick out English magazines, you can see "Contemporary" and "Harvest" next to them; when you enter the library, you will walk by the shelves of history, literature, and so on; To promote the event, and then envy and hate in my heart, and then resent for the thousandth time that I didn't get into the Chinese department because of Mao?The days passed in this conflict and entanglement, and my English level didn't improve at all. Sometimes I thought to myself: What the hell are you doing?

As a result, I lost face again today.Xu Chunfeng returned to the dormitory and made up his mind to learn English well.English is nothing more than four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing, let's start.Holding an English book in hand, read the text just learned a few times.As we said before, there are four people in his dormitory. Feng Yushu is often away, and he goes out to meet his younger sister every day; Never wavered.Lang Zening created his own brand without leaving school, and became the entrepreneurial master that all the younger students admire in the future; Xu Shanlan is even more legendary, and we will talk about him later. Now this god is most famous for his sleep. Hypnos.Its characteristic is that it is not sleeping or preparing to sleep all the time, and it can fall asleep anywhere.In the dormitory, this person can be completely ignored. With that posture, he won't wake up even if the sky falls.In this loving environment, Xu Chunfeng began to read English texts in a low voice.

But the situation is different today, there is one more person - Lang Zening.

As soon as Lang Zening returned to the dormitory, he felt a little drowsy. Seeing Xu Shanlan sleeping so sweetly, he wanted to sleep even more. Just as he closed his eyes, he felt sleepy when he heard Xu Chunfeng reading English.In fact, Chunfeng's voice is very low, very hypnotic, but Lang Zening's English is good, so he subconsciously listened to Xu Chunfeng's pronunciation.This is like a martial arts master, when he meets someone practicing martial arts, he can't help but glance at them.This glance is broken, I can't sleep, this little kid can't tell the difference between the flat tongue and the rolling tongue, and all the flat tongue sounds are pronounced retroflex.At first, Lang Zening didn't want to care about it. After all, if he can be admitted to the English Department, his English level must be good, and his two brushes are not necessarily better than others.But this is like a collector watching others rubbing the blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty with fine sandpaper under his nose. He can't stand it.

Lang Zening sat up and said, "Dude, stop reading."

Xu Chunfeng raised his head in a daze: "Ah, I disturbed your sleep, then I will go out."

"No." Lang Zening climbed out of bed, "You are not reading correctly. If you continue to read like this, let alone four years, 40 years will be useless." Alas, so, it is better to do the right thing than to do the right thing. Much more important.If you go all out to run on the side road, it will get farther and farther away.

Xu Chunfeng quickly moved his butt to the side, and asked humbly, "Lang Zening, can you teach me?"

Lang Zening didn't sit next to him—he always subconsciously keeps a distance from all men—but sat across from him and wrote a few words: "Read."

Xu Chunfeng's reading was miserable, and his foundation was too poor. After all, the high school he attended was far from the quality of teaching and teachers in the key high schools in S City.Lang Zening pointed out: "Don't have an ending sound, m is m, t is t, simple and clean, what to say, touch it, remove the e; the letter N is not pronounced in Chinese, but a short /e/ is pronounced first. , and then make a nasal sound; the pronunciation of TWO is not the rabbit of rabbit, and the long sound /u:/ should be pronounced between wu and ou." Xu Chunfeng was confused when he heard it, so how to pronounce it.

It's okay to say these things, the key is that Xu Chunfeng's tongue is curled, and sh, th, s, ch, z are completely indistinguishable.Lang Zening said: "Look at me, the tip of the tongue sticks out a little, the teeth lightly bite the tip of the tongue, the air flow comes out from the middle, and the tip of the tongue touches the lower teeth when sending /s/."

Xu Chunfeng followed suit. When he was silent, the tip of his tongue stuck out, but when he spoke, the tip of his tongue went back; it was already touching his lower teeth, but when he opened his mouth, it rolled up again. Lang Zening was so angry that he almost stretched out his claws to pull out his tongue and iron it. flat.The two sat at the table one afternoon, you stuck out your tongue at me and I stuck out your tongue at you, the pink tip of the tongue stretched and retracted.In the future, when Lang Zening recalled this past, he always felt that it was a bit of an indirect kiss. Xu Chunfeng shook his head and scoffed at him: "You have no good intentions at all."

Finally correcting Xu Chunfeng's pronunciation mistakes, Lang Zening said with great emotion: "How on earth did you get into the English department?" Xu Chunfeng said with a bitter face: "How do I know, I didn't take the oral test, and I just passed the 90% written test Points, as long as the volunteers are related to foreign languages, they will not be filled in, it’s a coincidence, I’m always in pain.”

He sighed, finally someone could listen to his heart seriously, and he wished he could pour out his complaints: "Lang Zening, I am not afraid to tell you that I have never passed the exam since I started learning English. 100 points, 40 points when I took the test, I got 150 points, the only time I passed was in the college entrance examination, the unprecedented 60 points, the English teacher was surprised."

"Then how are you good at science?"

"Chinese, of course it is Chinese." Xu Chunfeng did not hesitate, "I got more than 130 points in the test, ranking first in the school."

Lang Zening thought for a while: "Our school does not allow department transfers."

Xu Chunfeng nodded: "I don't expect it either. Forget it, let's just leave it at that. It's not easy to pass the exam. My college entrance examination score is nearly 150 points higher than the final score. I will definitely not pass the exam if I repeat it."

Lang Zening was really horrified: "How much taller?"

"Nearly 150, and there is no plagiarism." Xu Chunfeng was a little proud when he mentioned this matter. After all, until the end, the teachers also thought that he would not be able to enter the university, and the results surprised them.

Lang Zening looked at Xu Chunfeng's little figure and was completely speechless. Could this be the legendary "Idiot's life is good"?

Xu Chunfeng packed up his things and stood up: "Hey, let's go eat first."

Helping is helping, but I didn't expect to bring the relationship so close.Lang Zening felt that he was too enthusiastic about this lower bunk, and he was not willing to go with him. He couldn't find any good excuses for a while, so he hesitated and said, "I'm not hungry yet, you go first."

"If you're not hungry, you have to buy it first." Xu Chunfeng came over to pull him, "There are many people standing in line late, and in the end there are no good dishes." Lang Zening turned around to get the rice bowl, avoiding Xu Chunfeng's hand : "Then let's go."

The two walked down together, and as soon as they left the dormitory building, they met several female students of the same grade walking towards them.They were chattering English and smiling brightly—they had just finished attending the English corner and came back to take a rice bowl to eat.Xu Chunfeng never dared to participate in that kind of activities, and he couldn't speak without opening his mouth.He watched them walk by enviously, sighed softly, thinking about his performance in class, he felt a little depressed.

Lang Zening suddenly understood why he couldn't help wanting to help Xu Chunfeng. To a certain extent, they were the same people, both suddenly felt the impermanence of fate and their own helplessness, both were different and out of tune with the surroundings, both When trying my best to change my life, there is a kind of sensitivity and inferiority that can only be felt when I am in a weak position.Forget it, since you help, let's help to the end.He caught up two steps and rushed to Xu Chunfeng's side: "Go back to the dormitory after eating, and you read to me the intensive reading text you learned today."

Xu Chunfeng's eyes lit up: "Okay, no problem."

Feng Yushu didn't come back at night, he often doesn't come back, no one cares.Xu Shanlan didn't know when he had finished his dinner, and he was still fast asleep on the bed.Lang Zening sat at the table with Xu Chunfeng and read English. Xu Chunfeng read slowly but seriously, paying special attention to the position of his tongue. Lang Zening patiently corrected him.

That night, Lang Zening's dream was full of pink tongue tip, he spit it out and then retracted it, retracted it and spit it out again, he couldn't get it out, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

The next day, Lang Zening went out to meet his former classmate early in the morning. The other party said that he was asked to help translate some English materials for a fee, so they could get together by the way, so he skipped another day of class.Xu Chunfeng honestly read the text five times, went to McDonald's to do part-time work, and bought some gifts in his heart to express his gratitude to Lang Zening.Xu Chunfeng thinks that he only eats cheap food, and nothing else is interesting.He invited Lang Zening to dinner last night, but it was only in the school cafeteria. Everyone knows that the things in the university cafeteria are like that, cheap, but not delicious.He wanted to invite Lang Zening to a restaurant outside, but he hadn't been there a few times, so he didn't know how much a meal would cost. Remembering the three yuan bowl of broken noodles, let's forget it.It is said that rural children are petty and vulgar, so there is no way. First, they are poor, really poor; second, they have never seen the world, so they don’t know what is good. .After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly saw a roast chicken at the intersection, hey, this thing is good, whether it is an extra meal at night or as a supper, it is very good.Immediately, I ran up and spent more than ten yuan to buy a roast chicken.

When they returned to the dormitory, Feng Yushu and Xu Shanlan were not there.He put the roasted chicken on the window sill, took out his textbook and continued to read, and the aroma of the roasted chicken leaked out one by one.Xu Chunfeng loves to eat roast chicken the most, but his family can't afford it, so he has to wait until there are weddings and funerals in the village before he can enjoy a piece and a half of it.During the Chinese New Year, a live chicken can be slaughtered at home, but it has to be stewed and eaten instead of roasted chicken.

He felt a little greedy when he smelled the fragrance wafting over, and the voice of reading was a little louder, but it didn't matter, the gluttons still swarmed out.He licked his lips, walked to the window sill and opened the plastic bag. The roast chicken was shiny and attractive.Xu Chunfeng remembered that when he bought roast chicken, he saw that the roast chicken was not whole, or a chicken foot was missing, or a chicken wing was missing.The boss said that sometimes in order to make up the weight, he tore it off casually, and Chunfeng specially picked a full-arm and full-leg one.At this time, Xu Chunfeng thought, eat a chicken foot, and then said that the roast chicken was not complete when he bought it, and Lang Zening would not care.

Don't look at Xu Chunfeng's honesty now, in fact, he is not familiar with him yet, he has ideas in his superficial simplicity, according to Lang Zening's words, he is a bit sluggish.Now that he had an excuse, he simply tore off a chicken foot, and ate it in two or three bites.Tapping his mouth, he felt that he hadn't eaten enough, so he tore off the other one and ate it, which was a bit of a relief.After eating, I felt a little regretful. The two thigh bones of the roast chicken were staring blankly, which was ugly no matter how you looked at it.He pressed down, tied the mouth of the bag, and said to himself: You must never eat any more, why are you so worthless.Out of sight, out of sight, I'd better go to the reading room for evening self-study.Lock the bedroom door and leave.
