Rebirth: The Life of a Scholar

Chapter 30

Ji Rong's home is not far from the school, about 15 minutes' walk.

But Ji Rong didn't take Tang Xu directly to his house, but walked around the neighborhood. Although it was a bit strange for two big boys to go shopping together compared with the couples along the way, Tang Xu was very excited, and he didn't expect that at all. esoteric place.

Although it is shopping, Tang Xu is basically just looking outside the store. He doesn't have extra money to buy those extravagant things, and he doesn't want to spend money on these gadgets. Things that are of no practical use to him are basically No need.

Ji Rong has known Tang Xu for so long because he knows his diligence and frugality. In fact, if Tang Xu wants it, Ji Rong will buy it for him, but Tang Xu will never accept it. Ji Rong also does not want the relationship between the two to become awkward. It is difficult for them to be like this now if they have contact with them materially.

The two stopped and went, and Tang Xu was suddenly attracted by a shop that sold various electrical appliances. He had always wanted to buy an mp3 player, but it was quite expensive. He has a little money now, so buying one should not be too burdensome .

Ji Rong saw Tang Xu stop and follow his gaze: "Want to buy something? Go in and have a look."

Tang Xu just like this. Ji Rong spent a long time in the store, and finally bought a black square 50gmp2 for 3 yuan. Thanks to Ji Rong's bargaining, he didn't expect that people who are good at sports can bargain so much. Great, I was taken aback by what the store manager said.

"Just going to my house to download something later, what do you want?" Ji Rong looked at Tang Xu holding the mp3 box like a baby, and couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.

"Thank you senior, I really troubled you today." Tang Xu smirked and scratched the back of his head, showing the innocence and cuteness of a boy in his honesty.

Ji Rong naturally reached out and smoothed the back of his scratched head: "It's okay, I will change it when you are familiar with the downloaded content."

"Well! Senior, when I didn't learn English with you, I really wanted to have an mp3 to listen to foreigners' spoken English every day." Tang Xu said while touching the box in his arms. At that time, his spoken English was too poor and he couldn't find it. I feel that if it wasn't for Ji Rong, he would still be in a panic now.

"Then I'll help you download some foreign radio dramas or news later. As long as you understand everything, it means that I didn't teach you in vain." Ji Rong had a conversation with Tang Xu in order to prevent Tang Xu from speaking too fast. The tone of voice is relatively slow. Now that he thinks about it, it would be good if he listened more to the tone of foreigners, otherwise Tang Xu would not be able to adapt if the tone of foreigners was so fast when talking to foreigners.

When he finally arrived at Ji Rong's house, Tang Xu stared wide-eyed at the gate of the community. He knew that Ji Rong's family was quite rich, but Ji Rong's family lived in a villa area, which made him a little indigestion.

Seeing Tang Xu's frightened expression, Ji Rong patted him on the back amusedly: "What are you doing in a daze? Let's go."

This is the best place in this area. There are many rich and powerful people living in it. The house of Ji Rong’s family was left by his grandfather. When Rong was still young, his parents brought him in. Since he moved in, it seems that his parents' careers have gone smoothly, and Ji Rong has grown up healthily and intelligently. His parents said that it was his grandfather who blessed them, and Ji Rong thought so too.

At the beginning, he was admitted to Dehui Jirong only because he was close to home. At that time, he probably never thought that he would meet Tang Xu.

Opening the yard, the front yard with a lot of plants is bright. The air smells of damp soil. Tang Xu took a deep breath comfortably. Even in autumn, the yard still looks lively.

Opening the door and entering the entrance, Ji Rong took out a new pair of slippers from under the shoe cabinet and put them at Tang Xu's feet: "Don't be cautious, there is no one at home."

Tang Xu looked at the pair of childish slippers with rabbit ears and smiled. Ji Rong looked at him strangely, and found that he stared at the slippers in a daze, and explained a little embarrassedly: "My mother bought these, she likes girls. child."

"Oh." Tang Xu smiled and put on his slippers, walked up to Ji Rong and stretched his legs to show him: "It's so cute."

"Well, it's very suitable for you." Ji Rong watched him put on the slippers that fit his feet and smiled: "Sit down first." After taking Tang Xu to the living room, Ji Rong went to the kitchen to take out the milk in the refrigerator and heat it up.

Tang Xu didn't know what Ji Rong was doing. He was sitting upright on the sofa in the living room. He didn't dare to sit down with his buttocks. He put his hands on his knees and stared straight at the big TV in front of him. Like a primary school student.

He was embarrassed to look around, and always felt it was impolite to look around and move around, and there were a lot of valuable things in this living room, Tang Xu was afraid that he would damage something with his clumsy hands.

When Ji Rong came out of the kitchen with the milk, he saw Tang Xu sitting in such a posture. He walked over to grab his stiff hand and put the hot milk into his hand: "Drink it while it's hot." After speaking, he turned and went upstairs to get it. notebook.

Tang Xu looked at the milk in his hand, then turned his head to look at Ji Rong's back, and finally took a sip of the milk. The warm and soft pure milk flowed down the mouth and into the intestines. It was really warm, whether it was the stomach or the heart.

Ji Rong connected Tang Xu's newly bought mp3 to the computer, downloaded a lot of audio and put them in, as well as some English songs he liked: "These are enough for you to listen to for a week."

Tang Xu hugged the cup and nodded obediently. Ji Rong put the last audio in and the memory of the mp3 was almost full. He unplugged the cable and Ji Rong plugged it in for him: "Generally, a new machine needs to be charged for ten hours for the first time. Electricity, so that the electric board is more durable and will not be consumed too much, let’s focus on it here now, don’t remember to turn it on and listen to it when you go back, and use it tomorrow.”

Tang Xu had read the manual just now, but the manual didn't clarify this point. Hearing what Ji Rong said, Tang Xu continued to nod without thinking: "Well, I'm not in a hurry!" He obviously wanted to plug in the earphones right away.

This kind of Tang Xu is so attractive, Ji Rong coughed lightly and looked away unnaturally for the nth time today: "Then let him charge first, let's watch the DVD first." Then he got up and turned on the TV, and took down the TV together just now Put the dvd into the play box: "Let's watch the more exciting ones in China first."

The TV was turned on, and the black screen gradually appeared. Ji Rong used the remote control to adjust, and changed the TV mode to the DVD mode, and the screen changed to play the content on the DVD.

Tang Xu stared at the TV carefully. The first game was "Which is more important, textbooks or practice?" In the debate, there were three people on each side sitting face to face, and there was a lot of gunpowder at the beginning.

"Which do you think you would choose in this debate?"

"I think it's all important."

"You have to choose one, remember that in the debate competition, none are all important."

"Oh, let me choose the textbook."

"That's right, on the contrary to me, I choose to practice."

"...Oh, does the senior want to compete with me?"

"Well, let's see what they say first. If you can shake your opponent, it means you have succeeded."

"Will it really shake?"

"Yes, so this is a test of how you say how to pile up the height so that the other party can't keep up with your debate speed and level."

"It looks so elegant..."

"What, backed down?"

"No, I just thought it was cool."

"indeed."

After that, the two didn't talk anymore and watched the video carefully. The atmosphere of the two teams in the video became more and more intense, and Tang Xu watched it more seriously. What these people said was very reasonable. The way of Taiji is to describe what I have determined with affirmative tone, and no one will spare anyone.

The video was played for more than half an hour before it ended. In the final debate, the book won. Ji Rong looked at Tang Xu: "I think it's useless if you just memorize the content in the textbook without knowing how to operate it."

"Not necessarily. Even if you want to practice, you should follow the content in the textbook. How can you practice if you don't have a textbook? How can you practice without knowing the method? From this point of view, books are much more important than practice." Tang Xu After watching for half an hour, the only conclusion I can come to is this.

"Not bad, have you found the feeling?" Ji Rong stared at his serious side face with warm squinting eyes.

"Ah? Like just now?" Although Tang Xu seemed to have grasped something, he was not sure.

"Almost, we are watching more, maybe after watching these, you are fully capable of being a debater." Ji Rong said and pressed the remote control to flip through the next video.

Both of them watched the debate videos one after another very seriously. Ji Rong also found out some debate competitions abroad. Tang Xu was stunned by the fast speech of foreigners. it's over……

"Did you hear what they said clearly?" Ji Rong knew what was going on when he frowned.

"I probably understand the meaning, but not specific. Their speaking speed is two or three times faster than mine."

"It's okay, just wait until you get used to their speed, and they did speak 0.5 seconds faster than usual in the debate."

"It seems that my English is still far behind. Senior, have you ever been abroad?"

"Well, during summer vacation and winter vacation, I will participate in some summer camp activities and go out a few times."

"It must be no problem for seniors to communicate with them, right?"

"No, I also struggled at the beginning. I have improved a lot after going there a few more times, and they have taught me a lot."

"Shall we speed up when we are seniors?"

"Okay, as long as you want."

The two looked at each other and smiled. There was no ambiguity in the atmosphere. On the contrary, Tang Xu's sunny smile brightened the whole space, especially the two little tiger teeth, which made Ji Rong unable to look away.
