Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 3 Accident
Li Xu was suddenly speechless.

He probably realized why his cousin rejected his request.

Li Xu turned his gaze to the girl.

The girl noticed his gaze and then lowered her head in panic.

Li Xu still has some impression of this girl.

Li Xu had forgotten her name, but he remembered that this girl had the best grades in the class and even became the pride of her cousin Ye Ling.

It’s a pity that she didn’t finish high school.

Later, he heard from his cousin that this girl had good grades, but in her second year of high school, because she had to go to the county town 50 kilometers away to study as a boarding student, the expenses were a bit high. Her parents were honest farmers, and she had a younger brother with equally good grades, so she took the initiative to give up her studies and work in the county town to support her younger brother.

Later, when my cousin talked about this incident, her words were full of regret and helplessness.

And now, this girl is undoubtedly the top student that my cousin values the most.

So Li Xu naturally understood why her cousin didn't want him to sit at the same table with her.

Obviously, he was afraid that he would affect the girl's studies.

For a moment, Li Xu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He didn't think too much about it. He wanted to sit in that position simply because it was closer to the front row and more convenient for studying.

And on second thought, his current foundation is so poor, it would be great to have a classmate with good grades by his side.

Thinking of this, Li Xu couldn't help but argue: "But isn't there anyone here?"

Ye Ling was speechless for a moment, then shook her head: "No, it's no."

Seeing his cousin's firm attitude, Li Xu naturally didn't want to say anything more. He sighed slightly and had to sit obediently in the corner of the last row.

My cousin Ye Ling is an English teacher.

If there is any subject in which Li Xu can still barely keep up with the progress of the third year of junior high school, it is only English.

Of course, this is not because he is so hardworking, but because when he was younger, he was not as rebellious and naughty as he was later, and he received bilingual education, so his spoken English was better.

Daily communication is still understandable.

After all, English is just a language. After all, even if Amy's poor students don't even know what eleven times nine equals, it doesn't affect their ability to speak English, right?
He casually opened the third-year English textbook. In comparison, this general English textbook was not difficult.

It’s not difficult to learn.

Compared to other subjects, English is actually the easiest one.

In this subject, you only need to do one thing well to achieve good results.

That is rote memorization.

After all, he has lived for more than 30 years, so his understanding of learning is naturally not as ignorant and blind as it was back then.

Many things can be summarized by yourself.

While Ye Ling was giving a lecture, Li Xu was quietly flipping through the English textbook below.

To be honest, I haven't touched a book for many years, but this time I not only don't feel that it is difficult to get started, but I am surprised. Oh my god, why couldn't I learn such a simple thing back then?
He suddenly recalled the method of learning English that a well-known English tutor had taught him.

Different from the fancy English learning techniques touted in advertisements, the teacher told him that learning English does not require any skills.

You just need to memorize it by rote until you can instantly react to the meaning of a word or a sentence when you see it, and then you will have no problem with the written test.

The same is true for listening and speaking. You also need to memorize by rote, listen repeatedly, and read repeatedly until your ears are callused. Then you will be able to reflect what it means immediately, and there will be no problem with listening.

To put it bluntly, language ability is the formation of a special physiological conditioned reflex.

He gave a particularly vivid example: Even a farmer knows what "ok" means, but do they remember the meaning of this word through those English learning techniques?
Obviously not. It is because he has heard and used the word so many times that he does not need to use homophones, associations or other messy methods to deliberately memorize it. The moment he sees or hears the word, he understands what it means.

On the contrary, if you use memory methods such as homophones or associations, your brain will have to go through two twists and turns to get back to the word itself, and you will forget it completely after a long time.

The most profound memories are physiological reflexes that are repeated over and over again, which are difficult to forget over time.

It’s a pity that he initially scoffed at the English teacher’s methods, thinking, is this the so-called famous teacher?
At this time, Li Xu looked at the English textbook seriously and suddenly realized that what the teacher had said at the beginning made a lot of sense.

There is a feeling of returning to the basics and simplicity.

For a moment he felt excited again.

He suddenly realized that his life into his thirties was not lived in vain. At least now, the subject knowledge that was once obscure and difficult to understand did not seem so complicated.

The extra ten years of life experience, although he did not come into contact with subject knowledge, was certainly not useless. It actually improved his cognitive and comprehension abilities.

What Li Xu didn't know was that while he was excitedly looking at the English textbooks, Ye Ling was also secretly observing him.

"Let's turn to page 40..."

Ye Ling glanced at Li Xu again.

I saw Li Xu flipping through the English textbook seriously.

What is he doing?
Maybe there’s an online novel hidden inside the English book?
Or maybe there’s a game console hidden in the English book?
Ye Ling sighed slightly and thought, forget it, as long as he doesn't make trouble, he can do anything.

As the class was coming to an end, Ye Ling noticed that Li Xu's expression became more serious.

Ye Ling secretly laughed, and after thinking about it, she decided to go over and scare him, and by the way, see what he was looking at so seriously.

"Everyone, think carefully about this homework question..."

After Ye Ling assigned the task, everyone in the class began to think seriously, and whispers could be heard from time to time in the classroom.

Ye Ling noticed that Li Xu was still leaning the book against the edge of the desk, reading something seriously, which made her more confident.

Ye Ling stood up silently and walked slowly through the corridor between the desks.

Many students who took this opportunity to gossip found Ye Ling had already arrived in front of them, and the smiles on their faces suddenly froze. Or they were gently nudged and reminded by their deskmates, and then they were at a loss and continued to focus on the textbooks.

Looking at this group of children, Ye Ling felt a little funny.

However, facing those students who were absent from class, Ye Ling did not say anything. She just glared at them. No one dared to go against her will and they all restrained themselves. She then continued to walk forward with steady steps.

Li Xu didn't notice her until she walked up to him.

Ye Ling continued walking forward and turned behind Li Xu.

However, as soon as she saw clearly what Li Xu was looking at, her expression froze.

There is nothing else in the English textbooks.

Li Xu turned the book to a page of text, carefully underlining the words on it, and occasionally turned to the word list at the back to compare them one by one.

Ye Ling blinked and stood quietly behind Li Xu for a few minutes.

Until the bell rang.

Li Xu raised his head and suddenly found that his cousin was no longer on the podium. He couldn't help but say "Huh" softly, and then subconsciously looked around for his cousin.

Just then, a crisp cough was heard behind me.

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look.

Ye Ling walked slowly to the podium from behind him without saying a word.
