February
Schools have started to open one after another, and Su Mianmian and her friends are also about to start school.
That day, Wen Yuexian walked into the classroom with a smile. She stood on the podium, looked around the classroom, then cleared her throat and said:
"Students, I have great news! This Saturday, foreign friends will be visiting our school for exchange and study. This is a truly rare opportunity that will not only allow us to gain a deeper understanding of different cultures, but also broaden our international perspectives."
Our college would like to select four students to serve as translators to assist foreign friends in their visits and exchanges. If anyone is interested, please come to the school's main classroom tomorrow to participate in the election.
After she finished speaking, she added, "By the way, my suggestion is that everyone should give it a try. If you can be elected, it will also be a kind of training for you."
As soon as Teacher Wen finished speaking, the classroom immediately exploded. Students were whispering to each other, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity.
Xiong Ranran moved closer to Su Mianmian and said, "Mianmian, do you think I should go? My spoken English is terrible."
Su Mianmian patted her shoulder and said, "Go! Why not? It won't cost you anything. Just treat it as an opportunity to practice. Besides, I think your spoken English is pretty good."
After hearing this, Xiong Ranran's worries seemed to be alleviated a lot.
She looked into Su Mianmian's trusting eyes and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll try."
Su Mianmian nodded, "Yeah, let's go together."
At this moment, Teacher Wen Yuexian had already organized the lesson plan. She clapped her hands gently, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Okay, students, let's start the class now."
As Teacher Wen finished speaking, the classroom returned to calm and everyone began to listen.
…
the next day
Su Mianmian and Xiong Ranran didn't arrive early, and some classmates had already come out of the classroom. They were discussing the exam results with each other.
Xiong Ranran had sharp eyes and immediately spotted a classmate who had just walked out of the classroom. She quickly grabbed him and asked what happened.
Yang Jiawei shook his head and said with a bitter face, "It's too difficult. It's a simulated scene dialogue, and I need to communicate directly with the teacher in English. I feel like I performed terribly."
After saying that, he and his companions hurried away, leaving Xiong Ranran and Su Mianmian looking at each other in bewilderment.
Xiong Ranran nervously tugged at Su Mianmian's sleeve and whispered, "Mianmian, what should we do? My spoken English is not good to begin with, so I'm definitely out of luck now."
Seeing this, Su Mianmian patted her arm gently and said, "Relax, the more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. Believe in yourself, your spoken English is pretty good."
Xiong Ranran took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then patted her cheeks to cheer herself up, "Yeah, you're right. Besides, it's already impressive that I can participate. The result is not important."
Su Mianmian smiled and nodded, and when she was less nervous, she pulled her into the classroom.
There were four people lined up in front of the two of them.
Finally, it was Su Mianmian's turn.
She walked up to the teacher and glanced at the article she needed to read, she raised an eyebrow.
I read it smoothly, with just the right tone of voice.
Then she performed with ease and without any stage fright in the mock conversation with the teacher.
After the assessment was over, the teacher's eyes flashed with admiration, and he smiled and said to Su Mianmian, "Go back and wait for the notice. Next one."
Su Mianmian smiled and nodded, then turned and walked to Xiong Ranran, gently patted her shoulder, and encouraged her: "Come on! You can do it, I'll wait for you outside."
Xiong Ranran clenched his fist and encouraged himself, "Well, I will try my best."
Then she took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and walked towards the teacher.
Su Mianmian waited outside the classroom for about seven or eight minutes, and Xiong Ranran also came out.
Xiong Ranran looked a little lost. She hugged Su Mianmian and said, "Wuwuwu~ It's over! I definitely didn't pass."
Su Mianmian looked at her in surprise. "How did you know? Isn't the result out yet?"
Xiong Ranran cried and shook her head, "I can feel it. What I said is standard and nothing special. There is definitely no hope."
Su Mianmian patted her back gently and comforted her, "It's okay. The result hasn't come out yet. Maybe you passed it. Let's not think about it for now. Let's go eat spicy hot pot."
Xiong Ranran burst into laughter after hearing this. "Hehe, you really understand me the best. Then let's go to the restaurant closest to the school. It's your treat!"
Su Mianmian waved her hand, "Okay! It's my treat! Should we invite Qingqing along too?"
"Yeah, okay." Xiong Ranran walked towards Su Qingqing's classroom happily, obviously forgetting the disappointment just now.
Su Mianmian shook her head helplessly and followed her.
The three of them went to Malatang and had a meal. Xiong Ranran went home happily.
…
By Thursday, the election results came out. Su Mianmian was the only student in her class. Class 2 chose a pair of twin brothers. I heard that their family members were diplomats. The only other class that chose a female student was Class 5.
Upon hearing the news, Xiong Ranran showed an expression of "as expected", but she did not force it. It would definitely be good if she was selected, but it would not be a loss if she was not selected.
She patted Su Mianmian's arm, her eyes sparkling, "Mianmian, keep going! I want to see you shine on Saturday!"
Su Mianmian pinched her chubby face and said, "Okay, I'll try my best."
Xiong Ranran nodded repeatedly, "Qingqing and I will go together. My dad bought me a camera, so I will definitely take pictures of your graceful demeanor when the time comes."
Su Qingqing heard the camera's excitement and agreed, "Yes, yes, Mianmian, why don't I buy a camera and take pictures just for you."
"No……"
Before Su Mianmian could say no, Su Qingqing pulled Xiong Ranran over and asked about the price of the camera.
After hearing Xiong Ranran mention a few prices, Su Qingqing immediately made a decision, "Okay! Let's do it! Anyway, the spicy hot pot restaurant has made a lot of money recently, enough to buy it!"
"No need..."
Su Qingqing glared at Su Mianmian and said, "Use it! You must use it! You have to buy a camera."
Qin Huaichuan listened to his wife's words and nodded in agreement, "Okay, then buy it! Anyway, this camera can be used at any time, it's not redundant."
Su Mianmian thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she nodded in agreement, "Okay, then buy it. Ayuan and I will also pay."
After hearing this, Shen Yuandao immediately nodded in agreement, “Yes, the two of us will also pay, we can’t let you and Huaichuan buy it.”
Su Qingqing was satisfied, "Okay! Let's go." As she said that, she took Su Mianmian and Xiong Ranran's hands and walked towards the department store, with the main idea of leaving at a moment's notice.
