My Husband Is a Mining Tycoon in the 90s

: This American Life ([-])◇

Fang Li hit him twice with a pillow: "It's because you are always like this that I can't learn English!"

The matter of teaching Fang Li oral English was postponed for two weeks because of Fang Li's sudden cold.

Qin Weidong blamed himself very much. He always felt that it was because he was too vicious to Fang Li at that time. He really shouldn't be so vicious to Fang Li. Fang Li had already followed him to the United States..

Fang Li is quite used to it. When he was a child, he would catch colds every now and then. At that time, he didn't know that it was a heart problem. Who in the countryside would go to the hospital for such a small ailment?Just run and jump.

Later, when I grew up, I occasionally sneeze and have a high body temperature. Now that I am abroad, there are more places where I am not used to it. It is normal to have some minor problems.

Qin Weidong pressed his forehead against Fang Li's in the bed to test the temperature. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever... Otherwise, if Fang Li didn't say anything, Qin Weidong would have wanted to whip himself.

"Baby…"

Fang Li was awakened by Qin Weidong's kiss. He didn't have to go to class as busy as Qin Weidong in the morning. He raised his head, touched Qin Weidong's chin in a half-dream, and kissed: "Go to class quickly, I'm fine, I want to sleep again meeting…"

He has read Qin Weidong's timetable. In order to get both undergraduate and master's degrees in the past few years, he has to compress time and put in many times more effort than others. His timetable is densely packed. Fang Li took a look at it. , it was denser than a thick English dictionary, and he felt a terrible headache just by looking at it.

However, this does not include Qin Weidong's own plan, Fang Li sometimes thinks that Qin Weidong is really an iron man...

Qin Weidong raised his hand to take his mobile phone, and turned off the alarm clocks for practicing the piano and taking medicine. He kissed Fang Li again: "Sleep well, and I will remind you to take medicine when the time comes. .”

Fang Li nodded, and said to Qin Weidong: "I remember, don't be too tired..."

Unlike in China, when he came here, he obviously felt that Qin Weidong was pushing himself even busier. Qin Weidong had enough things to do every day.

For example, he really didn't think it was necessary for Qin Weidong to teach him English. Qin Weidong came to teach him English, and he always had to go to bed at two or three o'clock in the morning..

"By the way," Fang Li said, "Auntie called you last night, but you were talking on the phone with someone else in the study. I told her, and she told you to go to work first. I forgot to talk to you last night. Tell... Do you want to return it to Auntie?"

"I'll give it back to her."

Qin Weidong said to him: "Next time I see her number, ask me to pick it up."

He really cared about that.

Fang Li's nose was a bit blocked, and he nodded his head in a muttered voice: "It's easy."

A week later, Fang Li's cold was almost healed, and he stopped sneezing, and he met the new foreign student who came to teach him spoken English.

Qiao Shi is a boy around his age. He is a sophomore in Warburner University. Because his grandmother who lives in Hong Kong has a quarter of British blood, his natural chestnut hair is still curly, and he looks pretty when he smiles. Warm and lovely.

"Come in and sit."

Qiao Shi seemed to be running here, he put down his backpack out of breath, and there was a cute little doll with devil wings hanging on it.

"Phew..Thank you! Sir, I'm not late, am I?"

"No." Fang Li glanced at Qiao Shi, who blushed. He was wearing a light blue denim jacket, and he looked like a youthful foreign student.

"Sorry...! I'm not very good at using the apartment's access control system."

"It's okay." He didn't know how to use it when he first arrived. Fang Li poured him a cup of coffee, and when Qiao Shi rested, he said, "My name is Fang Li, Fang Yuan Fang, Li Ming Li, I don't know." Did Qin Weidong tell you about my situation, my English is very poor."

"I know, don't worry, Mr. Chin has clearly explained your situation to me in the email. I have taught very young children before, and they like me very much. I must be qualified in terms of patience! "

"Uh..." Fang Li swallowed the boiled water in embarrassment, Qin Weidong refused to let him drink coffee.

After a while, he received another text message from Qin Weidong reminding him to take the medicine. He replied yes and took the medicine.

"Hope it doesn't bother you too much."

"No, Chin pays well, I'm happy to get this job!"

Qiao Shi smiled. He saw a corner of his part-time performance costume from last night protruding from his backpack, so he quickly stuffed it in. Fortunately, the employer in front of him didn't notice either.

Qiao Shi brought his commonly used spoken language books, first to understand Fang Li's overall level, and then skillfully worked out a study plan for Fang Li.

"Chin said in the email that our courses only need to meet the daily living standards?"

Fang Li nodded: "I didn't study here, I don't need to listen to the professor's lectures, and I don't use too professional content."

Fang Li originally thought that Qiao Shi would be surprised when he heard that he was not here to study abroad. Unexpectedly, Qiao Shi did not show any surprise. He took a pen and revised a few grids on the schedule.

"Okay, I see, that's it, do you think it's okay?"

Fang Li looked at it, and it was mainly about schedules arranged by date. He had never made any study plan, so he had no idea, so he nodded.

Qiao Shi began to practice with him from the beginning of pronunciation. He really seemed like a cheerful and lovely boy. Fang Li made mistakes many times, and he would not be in a hurry. He would frown after showing a little distress, and then Adjustment method.

Sometimes Fang Li was amused by his overly rich expressions, so he didn't feel so stressed.

"I'm beginning to believe that you've really taught little kids before."

"Is it so obvious?" Qiao Shi put down the jammed paper in his hand, and he stroked his maroon curly hair embarrassingly: "I only came to study in Gap for a year, and I was a community child with autism in Australia before." When I teach those children, I always have to dress up as a lot of cartoon characters, and the movements are exaggerated, so they will trust me..."

Fang Li smiled and thought it was quite funny.

Qiao Shi was teaching him, more like two young people of similar ages communicating easily. Occasionally, he would guide Fang Li to talk to him in English about things he was interested in. Fang Li hadn’t chatted with anyone for a long time. Qiao Shi also knew New York very well, and he would follow Fang Li's words and talk about many topics he was interested in, such as dramas, live band performances, and Broadway performances.

"It's less than an hour's journey to Carnegie Hall from here. If you want to go next time, I can take you there."

The three-hour class ended in a relaxed atmosphere, not dull at all, at least not like when he was studying with Qin Weidong, he was always under the pressure of how much he had to learn today.

The two young people got acquainted with each other, and Fang Li realized that Qiao Shi was half a year younger than himself. He asked, "You went to school so early, did you study in China?"

"I read it everywhere."

Qiao Shi packed up his textbooks: "My first stepfather was Japanese, and he studied in Japan; the second was American, and he studied in Washington; later he was an Australian, and I worked as a volunteer in Australia; now my stepfather He's French, my mother lives with him in Nice, and I'm studying here."

Fang Li ".." for a moment, and said in his heart that he is indeed a foreign country, but he is more open. However, when Qiao Shi said these things, there was no weird expression on his face, just like his mother was in love or married. , freedom is taken for granted.

Qiao Shi glanced at the time: "Brother Li, I think your foundation is pretty good. It should be about two months. You can go to restaurants, hotels, or go shopping. There are no problems in your daily life..."

Fang Li was quite happy to hear what he said.

Qiao Shi seems to have another part-time job. His mobile phone is beeping, and there is also a little devil's pendant on it. While changing his shoes at the door, he slipped a card to him: "Brother Li, you have a problem." You can call my number."

As soon as Fang Li took it, he didn't see it clearly. He only saw a bar, and Qiao Shi took the card in his hand with a swipe: "I'm sorry, Brother Li, I got it wrong!"

Qiao Shi quickly stuffed the business card into his backpack, and rummaged through it again and again from his black backpack that seemed to fit into a black hole.

But he didn't seem to find a suitable one. He found a piece of white cardboard and wrote his phone number on it.

"Brother Li, if you don't understand or can't remember anything about the exercises in the back of the book before the next class, you can call me. I will turn it on 24 hours a day."

"OK, thanks."

After Qiao Shi left, the Chinese aunt Qin Weidong hired also came to the apartment to cook for them.

My aunt is a kind Chaoshan woman. She came here to settle down with her husband who runs a restaurant. She makes very good Chaoshan snacks.

After Fang Li finished eating the meal prepared by his aunt, he put the leftovers in the refrigerator, and put them in the microwave to heat up after Qin Weidong came back.

The sun had already set, and he was writing scores on the carpet by the window. From here, he could see the bustling night scene of Manhattan, which amazed him. It was completely different from that in China. It was like an overly gorgeous dreamland.

Just like what was written in that second-hand book, elites from all over the world gather here. They walk in a hurry, as if they will not be able to catch up with the footsteps of New York City if they slow down for a second. Running around without stopping, like burning ore in a huge machine, it drives the beating pulse of this powerful heart in New York.

Many times, Fang Li's inspiration exploded.

At night, as soon as Qin Weidong entered, Fang Li could smell the aroma of chocolate cake.

"Did you buy me a cake?"

"Yes." Qin Weidong hung up Feng Hui's phone: "How was Qiao Shi's teaching this afternoon?"

"It's good, he is very cute, and we are about the same age, so we can still chat."

It's enough to be able to chat. Since Fang Li caught a cold, Qin Weidong has completely looked down on Fang Li's English. He thinks that Fang Li can accept Fang Li even after four years of learning.

Fang Li ran over and opened the cake, only to find that it still had the chocolate flavor from his favorite shop.

He pinched the strawberries dipped in chocolate sauce and ate them: "The key is that they are still there...in Japan or in Australia? I have taught children with autism, and I am much more patient than you."

Qin Weidong only let him have a bite, and when he went to the refrigerator and saw the food Fang Li had left for him, he said to Fang Li: "You have eaten too little at night, come over and eat some more, and then eat cake."

Fang Li didn't want to: "I don't want it, I've eaten so much at night, you go and cut the cake."

"Can you still eat cake if you are full?"

Fang Li really wanted to eat cake, he urged: "Long-winded, don't you want to cut it."

It's not yet Thanksgiving, and their cooking aunts have changed to two, and Fang Li doesn't seem to like them very much.

Fang Li is like this, if you ask him what he likes, he can't say anything specific, but if there is something he doesn't like, he will only eat a little bit, just like a cat with two pieces of meat in its mouth, and entertains itself Happy to go.

Qin Weidong had a headache.

But he still warmed up the dishes, and took some bowls and chopsticks for Fang Li, and asked him to eat the cake after eating.

Normally, Fang Li wouldn't eat it, but tonight there was a cake, and Qin Weidong would definitely not let him eat the cake if he didn't eat it.

"I want to eat the whole thing."

Qin Weidong couldn't help frowning: "What if the tooth is broken?"

"Let's talk after eating bad..."

Seeing Qin Weidong's unfriendly gaze, Fang Li admitted defeat and said, "Don't worry, my teeth are very hard!"

He ate most of the cake by himself, and if Qin Weidong hadn't stopped him at the end of the meal, he would have felt like throwing up.

In the evening, Qin Weidong took a bath for him, and he went in to wash himself. When he came out, he saw Fang Li was wearing a bathrobe, sitting cross-legged on the bed, with an open spoken book on his lap, and plugged into his ear. Wearing the headphones of the Walkman, he looked quite distressed.

"Did Qiao Shi leave homework for you?"

"Well..he gave me a tape and a few practice questions in the book.."

Fang Li put an earphone into Qin Weidong's ear: "Help me listen, what is the choice for this question?"

Qin Weidong looked at his textbook, it was a practice question for the chapter: "Choose C."

Fang Li filled in a C.

Qin Weidong blow-dried his hair. After blow-drying, Fang Li lay down on the bed and continued to write. There were not only multiple choice questions, but also some questions to fill in the dialogue.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, Qin Weidong saw his wrinkled little face and looked very worried.

"If you don't want to write, then don't write. He just asks you to practice."

It's not a hard job.

"I know, but it cost money..."

Although they are no longer short of money, they are more serious about spending money if they are poor, especially if they spend in US dollars.

Qin Weidong read his book.

"Go to sleep, I'll write for you."

He brought over Fang Li's exercises, but in fact there were not many of them. As he said, Qiao Shi only left him with the idea that Fang Li always said that he would forget things faster, so it would be better to practice to consolidate them.

As for language, no matter which one you study in the world, you cannot get around a level of proficiency.

Fang Li was really sleepy, so he gave it to him.

Fang Li opened his eyes only after Qin Weidong finished writing for him, and he exclaimed: "...Why did you finish writing for me!"

Fang Li shouted: "You wrote me what I wrote? Quickly wipe it off!"

For the two of them, Qin Weidong wrote all Fang Li's homework for him almost from junior high school, so that the two of them seemed to have become a habit. Under Fang Li's urging, Qin Weidong had to change the other end of the pencil and erase the answers. up.

Fang Li hit him twice with a pillow: "I'm so annoying to you... It's because of you that I can't learn English!"

He turned his back, took the book away from Qin Weidong, and lay on the bed to read it.

Qin Weidong was silent for a while, and he didn't say anything else. He felt that he really couldn't interfere with Fang Li's English learning. He taught him. He couldn't teach him well. He looked at Fang Li and learned it. As soon as Fang Li learned it hard, he couldn't help but want to do it for Fang Li. It was like the inertia of the past ten years.

"Then let Qiao Shi continue to teach you? Or change to another."

Fang Li caught a cold recently, Qin Weidong didn't go to the study anymore, he would watch Fang Li here at night, until Fang Li fell asleep, he had turned on the computer again.

Dongfang Li couldn't understand the above, he only saw the screen full of bright colors. He asked Qin Weidong what it was before, and it was probably the stock market information here. Qin Weidong invested money in it in the second week of school. , so pay attention to some.

"There's no need to change it. Just him. I think he teaches very well. Maybe we can play together in the future.."

Fang Li read the book and yawned again: "Forget it, let's write it tomorrow..."

The author says:

Qin Gou really didn't write it for Fang Li on purpose, he just couldn't help it when he saw it.

Hahaha;

When Li Zai has homework:

Fang Li's hand: Is this my job?No, giegie, I have never done it since I was a child.

Qin Weidong's hand: "It's ready and ready."
