Chapter 344 1977

"There's really no trick. Just as the teacher said, listen more, read more and speak more." Su Mo said, "My father studied abroad, and he started teaching me English when I was very young. Maybe children learn languages ​​faster and remember them better."

"My English was average before, but I used it a lot at work, so I practiced it. So you must speak more and don't be afraid of making mistakes."

"There are four people in our dormitory who have signed up for the English major. You can talk in English every day and try not to speak Chinese. With time, you will be able to do it."

"You can also come to me to practice at noon. If you make any mistakes, I will help you correct them."

"Is there really no trick?" Pan Yu was a little unwilling to give up.

Su Mo smiled, "There is no secret to language. If there is a secret, the teacher would have taught it long ago."

"In that case, Sister Su Mo, you should encourage me to speak English more in the future." Pan Yu knew when to stop, as long as it could bring them closer.

As she spoke, she began to talk to Su Mo in English, although she spoke haltingly.

As long as she didn't have to spend time teaching and it was just daily conversation practice, Su Mo would be happy to do it. If she said something wrong, Su Mo would also carefully correct her.

With the precedent, other people in the dormitory gradually began to use their professional foreign language for daily communication. Chinese, English, and Russian were all spoken in the dormitory, and the learning atmosphere became increasingly strong.

Busy days always go by fast. A month passed in a flash, and it was 1977 in the blink of an eye.

At the end of January, after Su Mo finished her exams, the family planned to go to Haishi and spend the New Year in Haishi. Lu Changzheng also took a leave to visit his family.

Yangcheng and Haishi are both well-known big cities. There are direct express trains. The journey takes about 38 hours. The ticket price is 27.4 yuan, and children pay half price.

The family of six bought hard sleeper tickets and just fit into one compartment without being disturbed by outsiders.

After being sent down in October 1971, Su Tingqian was finally going back after more than five years, and he was inevitably a little excited.

Along the way, he talked about Haishi with the two children, and the two children listened with relish. Even the two young people on business trips in the next compartment pricked up their ears to listen.

The train departed from Yangcheng at 8 am and arrived in Haishi at around 10 pm the next day.

Haishi had taxis in operation, and Su Tingqian made a phone call at the train station and called a taxi.

At that time, taxi drivers also received a fixed salary, unlike in later generations, when they would drive their own cars around to pick up passengers. When there were no passengers, they would go to fixed stations to rest.

When someone called a taxi, the taxi would be arranged according to the location of the passenger. The fare was 0.25 yuan per kilometer.

The family waited on the side of the road in front of the train station for about ten minutes, and the taxi they called arrived. At that time, there was no such thing as overloading, and the family could fit into a car if they squeezed together.

The train station was about 20 kilometers away from Yangfang Street, and it cost more than five yuan to take a taxi there.

After getting off the car, the old couple looked at the house where they had lived for almost their entire lives, and their eyes were filled with tears.

After several years, they were finally back!

Although he was mentally prepared, when he entered the house and looked at the completely emptied living room, Su Tingqian's heart was still blocked for a moment.

Forget it! Just consider it as a way to avoid disaster.

Su Mo asked the old couple to take the two children on a tour, while she and Lu Changzheng fetched water, made a simple sanitation for the house they were going to live in, and slept there tonight.

Lu Changzheng looked at the decoration of the house. Although there was no furniture now, it was not difficult to see the luxury before.

His daughter-in-law grew up in such an environment, and it was really a pity for her to marry him materially.

He had to work harder in the future to create better conditions for his daughter-in-law.

By the time the two had finished cleaning the two sleeping rooms, the old couple had already finished touring with the two children.

This house has two and a half floors. The first floor is the living room, dining room, kitchen, maid's room, utility room and two guest rooms. The second floor is mainly bedrooms, a total of five rooms. The third floor also has two bedrooms and a large terrace.

When Geng Changqing was at the Su family, he lived on the third floor.

When Su Mo and the others came back, they brought clean sheets and quilt covers. After laying these out and putting the two children to bed, the adults started to discuss.

Lu Changzheng was professionally trained. Although some time had passed, he could still find many traces. The house had been searched thoroughly, and even the land in front of and behind the house had been dug up. Although they later restored the things to their original state, the traces of old and new were still very obvious to those who knew about it.

For example, the pool in the yard was obviously dug up and rebuilt.

Su Tingqian felt very disappointed when he heard this. He felt that the things in the house were probably not saved.

"Dad, don't worry. We'll know whether the things are there or not when we go to check tomorrow." The things were in her space, so of course they were still there. She would go downstairs tomorrow and put them back.

"It's getting late. Let's rest first and go there early tomorrow morning." Su Mo said.

It was already past two o'clock when they went to bed. After sleeping for a while, everyone got up at around six o'clock. Leaving Mo Yurong at home to look after the two children, the other three went to the other two villas.

When they got there, Lu Changzheng checked and found that the yard had been dug up. Su Tingqian basically gave up hope. Especially after he saw from the window that there seemed to be a pit on the ground behind the house, he was even more certain.

When Su Mo saw the pit, her heart skipped a beat.

Would that group of people break into the secret room from the back by force?

Su Tingqian was determined to get the worst result. It seems that this is his fate. It's a pity that he, Su Tingqian, has no chance of these things. I don't know what his father left for him.

"Okay, let's go back. It looks like the things are gone."

"No, since we're here, let's take a look. Maybe they're still there." As long as the secret room has not been dug through, she can put the things back.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Lu Changzheng asked Su Tingqian if he had been in there while removing the blue bricks from the stove. After getting a negative answer, he analyzed the various traces and told the two that someone had been in there within four or five years.

Not only Su Tingqian, but also Su Mo felt their scalps tingling after hearing this. It seems that Lu Changzheng is really hiding his abilities in front of her. It is estimated that her secrets are almost invisible in front of him, but he just doesn't talk about them normally. What Lu Changzheng

was talking about was the traces of Su Mo's entry last time.

When she disguised herself and went back, she made a very hidden mark, and she just found out that it had not been damaged, which means that no one has entered from here since then.
