1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 91 Reputation is a good thing indeed

Lu Yifan simply didn't rush into the yard.

He and Lao Zhang chatted with the gatekeeper, Uncle Yan, outside the compound.

Uncle Yan, the gatekeeper, praised his brother-in-law Xu Erhe endlessly, saying that Xu Erhe was also a rare genius.

What else was mentioned? Now every morning in the college, the number of people who come to listen to Xu Erhe's English class can be kept at more than 40 people.

The most exaggerated time was when the number of people suddenly exploded to about a hundred.

It directly disrupted the normal living order of the compound.

As a last resort, Xu Erhe apologized to the neighbors in the yard and promised that he would no longer attract idle people to the yard and disturb everyone's life.

But the neighbors in the yard discussed the situation later.

Those who come here to learn English are all educated youth who have returned to the city from nearby areas. Most of them are preparing for the college entrance examination in the summer and want to improve their English skills in a rush.

This is a basic need of the masses, and loving to learn is a great thing.

There are already several children in the school who have also registered to prepare for the college entrance examination this summer.

After some discussion, everyone came up with a charter, which was to provide unified and institutionalized management.

Every day, Xu Erhe teaches two-hour classes at a fixed time in the spacious space in the middle courtyard.

Then, not to mention the young people in our own compound, but the educated youth and students from outside, if they want to enter the compound to attend classes and study, they have to accept unified institutional management.

For example, those who come by bicycle have to park their vehicles outside the yard and pay 1 cent for two hours. Then they can enter the yard to attend classes, which is charged per person, 1 cent per time.

As for the fees charged.

Originally, the neighbors in the courtyard planned to give half of the money to Xu Erhe, and the rest would be included in the unified maintenance fee for the public areas of the entire courtyard.

Since the school officially started charging for classes a week ago, it has collected 30.01 yuan in revenue.

According to the original plan, half of this money was to be given to Xu Erhe, but Xu Erhe was determined not to take the money and asked the hospital to put it all into the maintenance and repair unified fee.

In this way, Xu Erhe would win more support and love from the people in the hospital.

It's true that my brother-in-law's actions are not greedy for short-term small profits. He definitely has vision and is capable of doing great things in the future.

I waited outside the door for about a quarter of an hour.

Today's class is over.

There were bursts of warm applause in the yard.

Lu Yifan and Lao Zhang both heard it very carefully. It was the heartfelt gratitude from the educated youth who came to participate in the study.

After a while, waves of people began to rush out of the yard.

The educated youth suddenly saw Lu Yifan outside the door. They were stunned for a moment, but those who reacted immediately screamed in surprise.

Well! As a result, there was a commotion in front of the gate of the compound.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

In fact, many educated youth, upon hearing about the existence of such a place where they could "tutor" English, did not come for Xu Erhe, a half-baked "English teacher", but because they had heard that there was a set of English learning secrets compiled by Lu, a super joint school student from Yanqing, specifically for his brother-in-law who came to the city from the countryside.

In fact, everyone came here for this so-called secret treasure of learning.

Now I suddenly met Lu Yifan.

How could the educated youth not be excited and ecstatic?

In this way, a group of people made a lot of noise in front of the gate of the slum for more than ten minutes, until the neighbors in the yard, the gatekeeper Uncle Yan and others deliberately put on stern faces to drive them away, and then the crowd gradually dispersed, and the scene returned to a rare calm.

Xu Erhe had naturally rushed out and was waiting by the side.

Seeing his brother-in-law coming and easily seducing his students, he was filled with emotion.

Amid the greetings of the neighbors in the compound, the three men entered the courtyard and entered the side room that Xu Erhe rented.

"Brother-in-law, how are you? Are you feeling okay lately?~~" Lu Yifan looked at his brother-in-law Xu Erhe with a smile. After not seeing him for more than a month, his hair had grown a lot longer, and his face, which was originally thin and bony, now had obviously grown a lot of flesh, and his spirit was much better.

The biggest difference.

There is no doubt that there is a gleam of confidence in my brother-in-law Xu Erhe's eyes.

Xu Erhe grinned and said, "Okay, I'm fine! By the way, Fanwa, I can recite those 900 foreign words by heart! If you don't believe me, I'll recite them to you right now..."

Lu Yifan didn't say no.

Of course, he really wanted to check out his brother-in-law's current self-study results.

Especially since an English training class was "opened" out of nowhere, the teaching mechanism and other aspects were surprisingly similar to the "Crazy English" in the previous life.

Just then.

Old Zhang suddenly started asking about his brother-in-law Xu Erhe in English.

Xu Erhe's expression was a little stunned. He did not respond to Lao Zhang directly, but first looked at Lu Yifan, which clearly meant to ask Lu Yifan for his approval.

Lu Yifan laughed out loud and spoke a little in English, meaning that if he could understand, he should try communicating with Lao Zhang directly in English.

Got encouraged.

Xu Erhe immediately straightened his posture and started chatting with Lao Zhang in English with a very serious attitude.

At first, my brother-in-law Xu Erhe was obviously lacking in confidence and was not very brave to pronounce the words, or perhaps his reaction was a little slow and he needed to think for a while before he could seem to retrieve the appropriate words for the conversation from his mind.

Lao Zhang was quite patient and kept chatting.

At first, it was limited to ordinary strangers greeting each other.

Later on, Lao Zhang started to make the topic more difficult. The topics involved became broader, including life and emotions, and whether relatives in the hometown were taking care of the children or whether they missed them...

After a long time.

Lao Zhang said directly,
"Xiao Lu, your brother-in-law is indeed not an ordinary person!

If you hadn't mentioned it on the way here, to be honest, I would have found it hard to believe that your brother-in-law had mastered such a high level of spoken English in just one month, entirely through self-study, without any basic skills.

Genius, I have to say, your brother-in-law is a genius in language learning.

I am really curious about what kind of booklet you wrote for your brother-in-law. Can you let me read it?"

Brother-in-law Xu Erhe once again looked at Lu Yifan.

Lu Yifan laughed out loud, "Brother-in-law, don't be so vigilant. Lao Zhang is my schoolmate. He is studying at Yanda University, and his major is to study the languages ​​of many countries..."

Xu Erhe then took out the key from his arms with great care, took off his shoes, got on the kang, unlocked a cabinet hanging in the air beside the kang, fumbled for a long time, and finally took out the booklet of 900 English spoken sentences with phonetic notation, and gave it to Zhang Zhaozhong to read.

It can be seen that he cherishes this booklet given by his brother-in-law very much.

In his understanding, that was the rare secret treasure given to him by his brother-in-law to help him leap into a new life.

The educated youth who came to learn English from him all wanted him to share this booklet so that everyone could read and copy excerpts from it.

There were even some selfish educated youth who privately offered him a whopping 125 yuan, begging him to sell the secret treasure booklet.

Don't ask the other party why he is willing to pay such a high price of 125 yuan.

The question is, others are using metaphors for him, half-baked idiot...
