Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 6 Does it feel right to you?

Ye Ling really didn't expect that Li Xu would come to pick her up with a flashlight.

Ye Ling didn't say anything along the way, but lowered her head and thought about something.

Li Xu turned on the flashlight, and the light spread in the darkness ahead, illuminating the way forward.

We soon arrived at the township government compound.

Ye Ling stopped at the door of the dormitory building, looked at Li Xu, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

Li Xu asked, "What's the matter, cousin?"

Ye Ling shook her head: "Nothing, go to bed early."

……

Although Li Xu was asked to go to bed early, Ye Ling herself did not go to bed early. She lay on the bed and read a book, which was a habit she had developed over a long period of time.

It was very late at night. She looked at the time and it was already early morning. Then she stretched, yawned, and put down the book.

As usual, I have to go to the bathroom before taking a break.

In such a small apartment, there is of course no separate bathroom in the bedroom. There is only a public bathroom between the two bedrooms.

Ye Ling, wearing pajamas and slippers, quietly opened the bedroom door and came out, only to see a ray of light shining out from the lower gap of Li Xu's room door.

Ye Ling frowned, then sighed slightly.

Obviously, this kid is playing games again.

Ye Ling knew that Li Xu had brought his PSP game console with him.

It’s so late and you don’t even know how to rest.

Ye Ling shook her head and didn't intend to ask, but just when she came out of the bathroom, she vaguely heard unclear voices coming from Li Xu's room.

Ye Ling had a strange expression on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she moved closer and put her ear to the door, listening attentively to the sounds inside.

“conversation…conversation…”

Ye Ling finally heard the contents clearly from the somewhat muffled voice...

Are you...memorizing words?

Ye Ling's expression was stunned.

what?
Am I dizzy from reading?

Li Xu is memorizing words?

Is he really memorizing words?
Just when Ye Ling felt that her brain was not enough, she didn't pay attention. The sound inside seemed to become clearer and clearer... This meant that the source of the sound was getting closer and closer to her.

"Click..."

Suddenly the door opened.

Ye Ling was still listening to the noise in the room. Li Xu was holding an English book in his hand and looking at his cousin with a confused look on his face.

Ye Ling frowned nonchalantly, lowered her head, and whispered, "It's so late and you're still not asleep..."

While talking, he walked back to his room in small steps.

"Boom..."

The door of Ye Ling's room was closed.

Li Xu was left with a confused look on his face.

what?
……

The next day, when Ye Ling got up, it was still quite early. She stood at Li Xu's door and waited for a while, but there was no movement from inside.

Probably still sleeping.

Ye Ling poured a cup of hot water into her thermos, picked up the cup in a daze, and thought about what happened yesterday. For a moment, she even wondered if she was dreaming.

I saw Li Xu was actually memorizing words, late at night?

Ye Ling was thinking about something and slowly picked up the cup.

Suddenly, she was scalded by the boiling water in the cup.

Some people put down their cups in astonishment and looked at the water in the cups in confusion, which was actually steaming.

It's strange to get burned.

Because she was used to filling the kettle with water the night before, the kettle's insulation effect was not that good, so the water was at the right temperature when she drank it the next morning.

She picked up the cup and looked at it silently for a while. At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

She was startled and turned her head to look over. It was Li Xu carrying a bag of dumplings. Ye Ling was stunned: "You... when did you get up?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "I didn't get up very early. I was planning to go outside to memorize some words, but it started raining not long after. On the way back, I bought a basket of steamed buns."

There is only one small restaurant in Xieyang Township, and on weekdays only the people who work here will go to take care of the business.

Ye Ling silently watched Li Xu put the bag of dumplings on the coffee table. After thinking for a moment, she pointed at the kettle and said, "Did you boil this water?"

Li Xu nodded: "When I got up in the morning, I saw that the water inside was already a little warm, so I poured it out and boiled a new pot."

Ye Ling: "..."

Ye Ling put the cup down, came over, grabbed two dumplings and stuffed them into her mouth, then glanced at Li Xu with a complicated look, hesitated for a moment before saying, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Xu raised his head and smiled: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

Ye Ling was silent for a moment, then snorted unhappily: "Do you think you've been okay these past two days?"

"Uh……"

Li Xu didn't know how to respond to his cousin's direct attack for a moment.

If I remember correctly, in the first week after he came here in his previous life, he complained about this and that all day long, saying that there were no good restaurants in this town, or that there was not even an Internet cafe, and he also complained about the poor living environment in the apartment all day long.

From Ye Ling's perspective, this was just what happened last week.

Just after one weekend, it was brought back after sneaking away, and then the temperature suddenly took a sharp turn of 1,800 degrees.

Anyone would find it a little strange.

If it were someone else, perhaps it would be easier to fool them, but Ye Ling happened to be a very smart college student, and her abnormal behavior would definitely make her think too much.

Just as Li Xu thought, Ye Ling was indeed daydreaming.

If Li Xu was just preparing to study, she would not be so surprised, but he picked her up last night, bought her buns this morning, and all the little details they had spent together in the past two days, all added together, made her think too much.

Li Xu is a very self-centered person!

He never knew how to care about others, or rather, he never realized that he should care about others.

And these past two days gave her the feeling that Li Xu seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.

But how could this happen?

It's so anti-scientific.

Forget it, if you can't figure it out, then forget it. Ye Ling looked at Li Xu with a complicated expression, then lowered her head to eat the buns and said, "Forget it, you don't have to explain. No matter what the reason is, I think you're doing well now... Well, keep it up!"

"Okay, okay." Li Xu nodded repeatedly.

……

The little incident in the morning did not affect Li Xu's pace of life.

After a night of hard work, when I looked at the words again in the morning, I had memorized most of them.

This made him very excited. That's how English is, it works if you spend time learning it.

In the morning, I went to the classroom with my cousin Ye Ling.

As they walked, Ye Ling shared some of her experiences in learning English with Li Xu.

In fact, she was too lazy to do this before. After all, sharing these experiences with someone who has no intention of learning is like playing the lute to a cow.

Ye Ling said: "When you are memorizing words, just use the most basic method, which is to read out loud the pronunciation and Chinese meaning of the word. Don't spend time on the specific spelling."

Li Xu seemed to be thinking about something.

He quickly understood what his cousin meant.

For example, when memorizing the word about, what you should recite is, "about, probably." There is no need to recite about specifically.

The advantage of memorizing in this way is that after forming a memory conditioned reflex, you can read it as soon as you see it, and when you can read it, the Chinese meaning will immediately appear in your mind.

If you know all the words on a test paper, your score won't be low.

Spelling out specific letters is not only a waste of time, but also very inefficient, and can easily discourage enthusiasm for learning English. The only benefit is that you can write.

However, on the English test paper, 90% of the questions can be answered as long as you know the words.

As for writing, as you know more and more words, you will be able to master the pronunciation and writing of many roots and suffixes imperceptibly, and you will be able to write naturally.

After learning it a little bit, you will be able to write if you can read it.

In the next two days, Li Xu spent all his time on the words and English passages in the three units.

Thursday came in a blink of an eye, time for the exam.
