1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 90 Brother-in-law is very good
After half an hour.

Lu Yifan and Zhang Zhaozhong had already appeared at the entrance of Nanluoguxiang on their bicycles.

Riding one person on one bike is fast, not to mention that both of them are very strong young men. In this era when 90% of people's travel depends on bicycles, their travel can be regarded as the most green and environmentally friendly way.

Along the way, Lu Yifan told Comrade Lao Zhang roughly about his brother-in-law Xu Erhe.

Do not say do not know.

I heard that Lu Yifan actually arranged for his brother-in-law, who only had the cultural foundation of a fourth-grade primary school student, to learn 900 English speaking sentences by himself when he just came to the city from the countryside.

To be honest, Lao Zhang’s brain is about to explode!

He simply couldn't believe it, and he couldn't understand what kind of weird train of thought Lu Yifan had.

Because of his poor health, my brother-in-law couldn't make it in the production team in the countryside, so he went to the city to seek a way out. He wanted to find a job in the city and earn some money to support his wife and children back home.

Faced with such things.

What if this happened to Old Zhang?

What else can we do?
That must be done by finding ways to ask for favors and build connections everywhere, trying to help my brother-in-law find a job in the city as quickly as possible so that he can start earning money earlier.

This is the normal way of thinking, right?

But this kid Lu Yifan actually asked his brother-in-law to learn 900 English speaking sentences.

What’s more important is that he only gave his brother-in-law, who had just moved to the city from the countryside, a booklet of Chinese character pinyin that he had compiled himself, and asked him to study on his own.

Moreover, a learning goal is set, which must be mastered within three months!
If he hadn't been sure that Lu Yifan was a kind-hearted, talented and passionate young man worthy of association.

Old Zhang really had to wonder if there was some old grudge between this kid and his brother-in-law who came to the city from the countryside that was difficult to resolve...

"Hey, classmate Lu is here!~~"

"Student Lu, you are here to see your brother-in-law!~~"

"Hey, Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to be such a genius. Your brother-in-law is also amazing and stunning..."

"Student Lu, please ask your brother-in-law to come to our house for dinner later!~~"

"Student Lu, my family is making noodles with soybean paste for lunch today. Please come to my house when you have time..."

As the two pushed their bicycles into the streets.

Comrade Lao Zhang was shocked again as the scenes unfolded one after another.

My goodness, he never thought that Lu Yifan was so popular among the people in the old streets of Beijing.

According to what the boy said on the way here.

This is probably only your second time coming to Nanluoguxiang.

The last time was before school started, when I arranged for my brother-in-law to live here. Now it’s been more than a month.

This kid has been studying non-stop at school. As a super joint school student, he has to study 13 courses at the same time. It is impossible for him to have time to come here...

But the problem is, he can also fully feel that the neighbors in Nanluoguxiang are genuinely enthusiastic about this kid.

At this moment, Zhang Zhaozhong was not the only one who was surprised.

Even Lu Yifan himself was confused by the extremely enthusiastic attitude of his neighbors.

If it were a month ago, when he was at the height of his fame, it would be normal for him to be warmly welcomed by the people when he came here.

But a month has passed in the blink of an eye. He is not one of those popular entertainment stars in his previous life.

How can one accumulate popularity for such a long time?
Besides, in this day and age, ordinary people are all worried about having enough food and clothing for three meals a day, so there is no soil for the survival and reproduction of fanatical star-chasing groups.

He simply didn't believe that the people needed to remember the few contributions he had made to the country.

and so……

Could it be that this is all thanks to my brother-in-law Xu Erhe?

My brother-in-law Xu Erhe has become famous among the neighbors in the past month and has become a very popular person in the neighborhood?

Despite the doubts in my heart.

But this seems to be the only reasonable explanation.

Soon, the two men pushed the cart to the slum at No. 75 Nanluoguxiang.

"Eh? Why are there so many bicycles parked in front of the yard? There's a long row of them, at least thirty of them..."

From a distance, I noticed something unusual in front of the gate of the slum.

Lu Yifan was trying to recall that he had asked the studio director Wei Feng to find him a place to rent. Could it be that there was a neighborhood activity center or something like that mixed in with the place?

"Oh! Xiao Lu, listen quickly, there are many people in the courtyard reading English aloud..."

As Lao Zhang walked along, his curiosity was aroused. At this moment, he suddenly heard bursts of English recitations in unison coming from the courtyard in front of him, and he became even more excited.

Lu Yifan was also shocked: Oh, what's going on? !
They both subconsciously stopped where they were, stretched their necks and listened intently with bated breath.

After listening to a few sentences, I was sure I understood. The sound in the yard was really just a group of people reading English aloud together.

Moreover, there was another male voice, always leading the reading in a high-pitched voice.

That male voice, isn’t that my brother-in-law Xu Erhe?

what's going on?
My brother-in-law Xu Erhe is now not only teaching himself 900 spoken English sentences.

He even brought students to study together?!

After a while, the two of them pushed the cart to the gate of No. 75 compound. At this time, an old man stopped them and said, "Put the carts in line over there. The fare is 1 cent. If you want to study in the compound, you have to pay 1 cents for the entrance ticket. But you two came a little late today. Teacher Xu's class is about to end today, so do you still want to enter the compound..."

Perhaps it was because Lu Yifan happened to turn his head and count how many bicycles there were in that row.

The first person the old man met was Comrade Lao Zhang, a stranger. He immediately started chatting with Zhang Zhaozhong in a warm yet somewhat contradictory manner, reminding the two that they had arrived late and it would not be cost-effective for them to enter the hospital and study now.

It was not until Lu Yifan heard the old man's chatter that he turned around and asked, "Do I need a ticket to enter the theater?"

The old man was stunned for a moment. "Oh, Lu, classmate Lu, it's you who's here!!~~ Look at my poor eyesight!!~~ Classmate Lu, you're here to visit your brother-in-law, right? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, your brother-in-law is really a top-notch guy..."

The old man was beaming with joy and praised Lu Yifan generously, and gave him a thumbs up.

At this time, Lu Yifan had everything figured out. It turned out that his brother-in-law Xu Erhe had quietly accomplished something big.

Good guy!
My brother-in-law, without realizing it, has copied the live-action version of Crazy English directly into the slum at No. 75 Nanluoguxiang!
He himself just imitated Crazy English and compiled a booklet for practicing spoken English for his brother-in-law Xu Erhe.

The result, tsk tsk tsk…

There is nothing more to say!
Our brother-in-law is really not an ordinary person.

Now I just gave him a chance, but...
