Chapter 069 Chapter 69 Learning English

Lin Yue was so powerful that Sun Hongmei took two or three steps back in fear. Her wrist was also grabbed and hurt. She shook off Lin Yue's hand in a panic and said timidly, "Who are you trying to show off to? What? Do you think you can stand up just because you found your relatives? I bought it with half a bag of food. What can it do to me? It's just a broken motorcycle. If you don't want to ride it, don't ride it! Xiaoxi, your elder brother is an unfilial man. Let's go back tonight and let the villagers see how cruel your brother is!"

After saying that, he dragged Zhang Xiaoxi away in a panic.

Zhang Yuandong did not hesitate. He got in the car and waited for Lin Yue and Liu Fang to get in with their children. Then he turned on the headlights and slowly followed Sun Hongmei and Zhang Xiaoxi. He did not speed up until the two of them caught up with the main force in the village.

Lin Yue knew that Sun Hongmei must be up to something, and she just needed to find a chance to verify it. Thinking of this, she had a bad idea and pretended to be surprised and shouted: "It's Principal Xu Enyuan!"

She deliberately called out Mr. Xu's name very loudly, and sure enough, Sun Hongmei shuddered with fear and looked around suspiciously.

Lin Yue laughed secretly in his heart and apologized: "Oops, I saw it wrong."

Sun Hongmei's heart was itching with hatred, but she didn't dare to glare at her. She cursed softly and grabbed Zhang Xiaoxi's arm tightly, almost half dragging her forward.

Lin Yue thought it was funny, but he also had some doubts in his mind. Seeing how nervous she was just now, she probably didn't come here specifically for Father Xu. Then why did she keep coming here recently when she hadn't been to Donglinjia Village for so many years?

The motorcycle was still moving forward slowly. It was a special period, late at night, and Zhang Yuandong was worried about the safety of the two people, so he escorted them for a while. But in Sun Hongmei's view, this was proof that Zhang Yuandong still had her in his heart and dared not ignore them. Although she did not get on the car, she was still very proud in her heart. However, when she caught up with the main force, she also made a lot of arrangements with others about her eldest son's family.

They were all from the same village and knew each other well. Sun Hongmei cursed her eldest son to her heart's content along the way, but few of the people traveling with her really believed her. What's more, Zhang Yuandong had been following her with a light on all the way, and everyone saw it.

A straightforward aunt laughed and said, "You are an old woman with wrinkles all over your face, why are you still competing with the young couple! If they don't take care of their own wife and children, how can they take care of you? You have to give the young couple more opportunities to spend time together, so that you can have another grandson sooner!"

Sun Hongmei has always considered herself a beauty since she was young. Now she is only in her early forties. She doesn't like to hear people say she is old. She was so angry that her eyes were about to roll up to the sky. She also has a bad temper. She spat fiercely at the auntie and didn't talk to them. She just dragged Zhang Xiaoxi and walked forward in silence.

When Zhang Xiaoxi heard the words "Hold another grandson", she turned around and glared at the man fiercely. Her eyes were extremely fierce, like a little wolf cub, glowing slightly in the night. The aunt was frightened by her eyes, cursed secretly, and avoided the two people on the back road.

Lin Yue and his group had heard Sun Hongmei's plot, but they didn't care. This person is like this, not very lethal, but he still pops up from time to time to cause trouble, which is very annoying. If this wasn't Zhang Yuandong's biological mother, she would have taken action long ago.

The roads in the countryside were difficult to travel on, and it was late at night, so Zhang Yuandong slowly rode his sidecar and took a few people home. When they got home, the two kids were already asleep.

It was still early, and Zhang Yuandong took his time washing up, and then lingered in Liu Fang's room for a long time. Liu Fang pushed him out of the room, and said with a sly grin: "Brother Zhang, you can't waste such a good time here with me, you'd better go back quickly!"

Zhang Yuandong was embarrassed. After last night, he always felt that his thoughts were not clean. He was afraid that Lin Yue would see something, so he didn't dare to be alone with her.

He walked into the house with a serious face, took out a book from his travel bag, sat at the square table and read it seriously.

Lin Yue had heard Liu Fang's teasing a long time ago. Looking at his expression now, if the blush on his face had not faded yet, she would have thought something serious had happened.

She didn't know that Zhang Yuandong had so many inner thoughts. He looked like he was being shy. You say such a grown man is as awkward as a young girl when it comes to sex. Lin Yue tried to recall. Could it be that she accidentally touched his waist on the road just now and he found out? But she should... probably... not have the courage to do this?

She wanted to lighten the mood, so she went over to ask, "It's so late, and you're still reading. Do you have work?"

Zhang Yuandong showed her the book: "No, I'm learning English." He had a hard time learning English, but after reading just two words, he calmed down.

Lin Yue picked up the book and flipped through it, then asked in surprise, "Are you learning English by yourself?"

Zhang Yuandong nodded and answered honestly: "Well, I will go to the Command Academy next year. Although I don't know what I will learn specifically, my old leader has told me that English is very important. If I want to go higher and further, I must learn English."

Lin Yue nodded. The country doesn't attach much importance to English yet, and most foreign language courses in universities are still in Russian. Zhang Yuandong, the old leader, is very far-sighted to see the development of English. But it may also be that Huaguo has begun to attach importance to English as a language. After all, the relationship between the country and the big brother next door has not been very good in recent years.

She knew too little about the military and didn't quite understand: "You want to go to the Command Academy, do you want to go to university?" She remembered that there were Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in that era, but she didn't know if it still exists now. Anyway, she had never heard of it since she came here.

Zhang Yuandong smiled and explained: "No, the Command Academy is a place for military training."

Thinking that Lin Yue knew so little about him, he couldn't help but want to tell her about his situation: "I went to college and was admitted to the military academy from the army. When I first joined the army, I met a good leader. He saw that I was young and heard that I had only been to junior high school, so he told me not to give up studying. I was admitted to the military academy thanks to his guidance. Later, I followed his arrangements and was promoted to the deputy battalion level so quickly."

Lin Yue asked in confusion: "Then how come you have become the company commander now?"

Zhang Yuandong was a little embarrassed, feeling like he was bragging: "I was temporarily appointed to the front line during the border defense war last year. After the war, I was transferred back to my original unit and temporarily served as the company commander of a regiment. However, my salary is still paid according to my administrative level."

After hearing what he said, Lin Yue understood instantly.

The Flower Country is a country that emerged from adversity. There is no village in their land that has not produced martyrs. When the original owner was a child, she also heard from adults about the deeds of a certain officer who was promoted on the front line and led them to charge. This was the first time she heard of someone being demoted on the front line.

Zhang Yuandong didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise he could have named several military officers who had such experiences, some of whom were generals at the investiture ceremony in 1955.

Lin Yue had heard Zhang Yuandong talk about the battles he had participated in before. At that time, she could still think of some random jokes in her mind. Now, hearing him say this, she instantly felt a sense of respect for the great soldier from the bottom of her heart.

But Zhang Yuandong had attended junior high school, which she had not expected: "I heard that you had a hard time as a child, and I thought Sun Hongmei would not let you go to school."

Zhang Yuandong was silent for a while, then said, "She really didn't let me go to school. It was my uncle who paid for my education."

So that's the case. She felt that Sun Hongmei and her husband were not such kind people. When the original owner married, Uncle Zhang's family had not yet fled to the Northeast. Lin Yue still remembered that they took good care of the original owner. At that time, with Uncle Zhang around, Sun Hongmei didn't dare to bully the original owner so blatantly. It was not until they moved away that Sun Hongmei quickly drove the original owner out.

Lin Yue was afraid that he would be upset when thinking about the past, so he changed the subject and said, "You want to learn English, right? I'll teach you."

Zhang Yuandong was about to ask, "Can you speak English?" But then he thought of her identity and thought that he shouldn't be surprised if she could speak anything, so he didn't ask. He just nodded and looked at her expectantly.

Lin Yue took an English book and roughly tested his basics. English was not taken seriously at that time, and Zhang Yuandong had learned it by himself before, so he had no basics at all.

But he doesn't need to learn it very well. Everyone speaks broken English now, so it's enough as long as he can understand the general meaning.

Lin Yue wanted to correct his pronunciation at first, but if Zhang Yuandong spoke with an authentic British accent outside, he would have no way to explain where he learned it. And there was a big movement in a few years, so she suddenly thought that dumb English was also good, so she simply didn't correct him.

Who would have thought that many years later, when Zhang Yuandong really needed to communicate with others in English, his pronunciation had already been fixed and it took a lot of time to correct it.

The night was long, one of them taught carefully, and the other learned seriously, the scene looked very warm.

The two little guys turned over from time to time, and occasionally murmured a few words in their sleep, mumbling something like "magic gourd".

The candlelight was dim as the two read the same book. Before they knew it, their bodies were getting closer and closer, almost so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

Zhang Yuandong looked at her with bright eyes, without any evasion or calmness, only determination and persistence. Although there was no affection in his eyes at the moment, Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat, and the tip of her heart seemed to be slightly burned by fire.

Lin Yue had a vague feeling that if things continued like this, their relationship might take a step further.

Unfortunately, what happened later happened too suddenly, not leaving her much time to sort out her thoughts.
