Chapter 103 Language Problems, Proposals, Observations (1/2)



Gu Yunyang's words cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

We still have a long way to go.

This is quite different from sitting on a train.

Although I was already starting to have a phobia of taking trains.

But all you have to do is sit there and wait, and the train is relatively smooth.

Next, we had to travel, either by bus or oxcart/mule cart, which was slow and bumpy because of the uneven terrain.

Today's China has not yet become an infrastructure powerhouse like in later generations.

Even national highways are not smooth, and not all of them are made of cement and asphalt.

Potholes and uneven surfaces are the norm.

Along the way, there might just be pebbles mixed with sand filling the potholes.

The road conditions are really hard to assess.

Han Xue said with some surprise, "You went over and chatted with those waiters for a while. I saw you two were having a good conversation, and I thought..."

Why?

Gu Yunyang was speechless.

This person probably thought he was trying to curry favor.

In fact, Gu Yunyang took advantage of his foresight and his ability to speak Cantonese to chat with people.

Of course, I also asked for directions.

In fact, the original owner of this body secretly came here once in her previous life when she learned about her origins.

That time, it was a bumpy and difficult journey.

When he finally arrived home, he heard his older sisters and parents inside the house, all of whom were very worried about Gu Chang'an.

What she was worried about was Gu Chang'an.

They worried whether Gu Chang'an would adapt to life in the capital, whether he would be bullied by the original owner of the body, and whether he would be rejected by his original family.

Only after that did the original owner completely give up and refuse to go to the countryside.

After returning home, he tried everything he could to stay.

Because the original owner of this body was unaware that her parents were very sentimental.

Even if you've raised a dog for sixteen years, you'll still develop feelings for it.

They are different from Gu Anning and Zhang Yujie.

The former was unaware that the child had been deliberately switched at birth, while the latter merely used the original body as a tool.

One is a tool for exchanging children, and the other is a tool for doing housework at home.

This period remains vivid in my memory.

So Gu Yunyang still remembered the general route.

Another point is language. Gu Yunyang himself had studied it and later worked many jobs, which repeatedly solidified his Cantonese.

Gu Anning's family also lives nearby, and they often speak Cantonese at home.

In addition, he had also worked in Guangdong Province in his previous life, so he naturally learned this language.

Yang Shengnan was somewhat surprised: "You seem to speak Cantonese?"

Then, she frowned and said worriedly, "When we first came here, we never expected that we wouldn't be able to speak the language."

At that time, ordinary people in Guangdong Province didn't speak much Mandarin.

Even in the next century, many elderly people in Guangdong Province will not be able to speak Mandarin.

If you don't speak Cantonese, you'll really have a hard time getting around here.

Gu Yunyang comforted him, "For now, you'll stay with me. Don't worry, I won't sell you out. During this time, you should learn more from the captain. Some everyday Cantonese phrases are actually quite easy to learn."

Gu Yunyang could only offer this consolation, since he didn't possess magic or the ability to understand languages.

What I can teach is just some everyday greetings.

"You guys learn a few greetings from me first. As for the rest, we'll have to take it one step at a time."

Han Xue belatedly expressed her worry: "What should we do? What if even the brigade leader doesn't know how? Wouldn't we be unable to make a living?"

"Hey, could we be assigned to the same brigade as you?"

Gu Yunyang spread his hands: "That's beyond my control. Alright, we've arrived. I'll go buy the tickets. Send one person with me, and the rest of you guard the luggage."

Although Gu Yunyang seems to be the only one who can speak Cantonese, he will not completely dictate everything.
