Chapter 42
42.
"Brother, our teacher looks very unwell." Yi Hanxing said, "Letting him teach the monkeys won't make him angry, right?"
Yi Hanxing couldn't help but glance at the teacher several times as he spoke. Although his friend was already a very sensible child (after all, few children from poor families in this era were ignorant), but as the saying goes, he was a butcher in his previous life and a teacher in this life, teaching is really a job that will make a person's blood pressure rise and heartbeat speed up, and he may be so angry that he suffers a cerebral hemorrhage or myocardial infarction at any time.
"Do the leaders really want him to cultivate himself? To cultivate himself as a teacher?" Yi Hanxing couldn't help but ask.
"You have to believe this is the easiest job in the base right now," Yi Hongxing said. "This is the position the leaders came up with after he insisted on not stopping work to recuperate. Besides you kids, there are many other people who need work and need to learn. To be more precise, watching you kids over during the summer vacation is just a convenience. It's also a way for you to learn as much as you can."
Yi Hanxing felt relieved when he heard this. He knew it, the leaders wouldn't treat people like workhorses! How hard is it for the leaders to manage the children in the base? Anyway, there are other adults to keep them in check, so this class won't get into chaos!
The two of them exchanged a few words secretly, and after sitting down in the classroom, they began to review the Japanese content they had learned. Not long after, the classroom was gradually filled with people. In addition to the students, there were also some people who needed to learn Japanese.
Most of the children had sad faces, and there were also some adults with frowns. When they walked in and saw the Queen of Papers Yi Hanxing and her child prodigy brother whispering hiragana and katakana, they couldn't help but cast hateful glances at the top students like the poor students looking at the top students.
To be honest, every time this time came, the friends all wanted to break up with Yi Hanxing, but the friendship would automatically end when they needed to ask Yi Hanxing for homework reference after class. So for so long, Yi Hanxing didn't realize that he had been broken up by his friends countless times.
"Cough." The teacher coughed lightly at the podium, and everyone sat up straight.
"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Huaixu." The teacher smiled at everyone and said, "I will mainly teach you Japanese in the next few months."
When Yi Hanxing heard the name Liu Huaixu, the connection in his mind immediately came together, and he finally understood what was going on!
After resuming contact with Cather Wu, Yi Hanxing had asked Cather Wu what had happened to his previous contact, which had suddenly evacuated him. Could he tell her?
Cather Wu confirmed it and told Yi Hanxing that several lines were evacuated urgently because a comrade who might lead to the exposure of her contact was arrested.
Later, Yi Hanxing discovered that the patriotic student he had been following (the patriotic student he and Yu Fu had analyzed at the beginning) had also completed the suspension procedures.
At that time, Yi Hanxing was still wondering, according to the original development of the novel, although some of these students were arrested, the others were not implicated, and there was no evidence to prove that they had any connection with the Workers' and Peasants' Party?
It wasn't until he heard Liu Huaixu's name that Yi Hanxing reacted!
The novel originally stated that Liu Huaixu was among the leaders of the escape! Liu Huaixu looked like he had just arrived at the base to recuperate, so it was obvious that he had been arrested and then rescued.
In other words, with Yi Hanxing's intervention, some of the patriotic students escaped, but because they were not arrested, Liu Huaixu, who should have been alerted and escaped, did not think of escaping, so the big snake Liu Huaixu was caught instead.
All these thoughts flashed through his mind in a flash, but after thinking it through, Yi Hanxing felt a little sorry for Liu Huaixu, and at the same time lamented that the butterfly effect was a bit obvious.
Despite this, Yi Hanxing had no guilt, nor would he be afraid to change the plot later. Hadn't he come to this era to fight for his country? If he didn't dare to act because of a negative impact, then what was the point of serving his country?
Just when Yi Hanxing was distracted, the older brother sitting in the first row suddenly started clapping to welcome the teacher, prompting Yi Hanxing and some confused people to follow suit.
Liu Huaixu was obviously not used to such enthusiastic applause. He stretched out his hand to suppress the applause, and everyone immediately stopped clapping.
Seeing the complex composition of the class, Liu Huaixu guessed that not everyone in this training class would need to start from scratch. "Before we start class, let me ask, is there anyone among us who already knows Japanese?"
"Teacher, what level do I need to master to be considered qualified?" a student asked enthusiastically.
"Yeah, yeah, does knowing Bageyalu and Yosi count?" A middle-aged man started laughing after saying this.
Liu Huaixu couldn't help but laugh. "Then let me simply divide the levels. The first level is completely unable to speak Japanese or only a few sentences. The second level knows hiragana and katakana, but can't have a normal conversation. The third level is able to talk to Japanese people and wouldn't get lost if thrown into Japan by yourself, but you don't know much. The fourth level is able to talk to Japanese people fluently. The fifth level is when you speak Japanese, you are considered a Japanese person."
After saying that, Liu Huaixu didn't forget to add: "Of course, if it's the fifth level, there's no need for me to teach. I can't teach anything, and listening to my lectures is a waste of time."
"Now, everyone, tell me which tier you are in? Those in the first tier, please raise your hands?" Liu Huaixu began to count everyone's situation.
Seventy to eighty percent of the students in the class are in the first tier, and nearly two percent are in the second tier, with only a few reaching the third tier.
"Is there no fourth tier?" Liu Huaixu asked, "Are we the third tier students too modest? Or
Why don't you come and talk to me and see?"
Yi Hanxing, Yi Hongxing, and two others had additional conversations with Liu Huaixu.
"Your level is still acceptable. The key is to memorize more words, phrases and expression habits. You should also pay attention to the inversion of Japanese grammar. Other problems will not be a big deal." Liu Huaixu affirmed Yi Hanxing and Yi Hongxing.
"Old Yi, is there anything you are not good at?" The person who was also responsible for code deciphering said to Yi Hongxing with a smile.
"No matter what you say, you still can't catch up with me in terms of decryption speed." Yi Hongxing boasted, "Besides, I'm only at the last minute cramming level! Look, you only started learning Japanese recently, and you've only learned hiragana and katakana. You can't even compose a sentence on your own!"
Yi Hanxing glanced at his brother, speechless, and secretly moved his desk a little further away. "Yi Hongxing has been at the base for so long without being beaten by his colleagues. It really is because the Party's ideological education is so good! Uniting all forces is really not just talk! Even someone like Yi Hongxing can be united."
Yi Hanxing thought his movements were very stealthy, but unexpectedly, Liu Huaixu had already noticed it. Liu Huaixu assigned a task: "How about this, those of us who have learned hiragana and katakana, please read them one by one. I want to hear your pronunciation."
After everyone finished reading, Liu Huaixu pointed at a young girl and said, "Your pronunciation is very accurate. Come up and teach the whole class hiragana and katakana. Your task for the next two days is to memorize everything. We'll review it the day after tomorrow, and then start the next step the day after that. This way, the students in the second stage won't miss out. Follow along and correct your pronunciation. The rest of the students in the third stage, come over to me and I'll give you individual tutoring."
Yi Hanxing and Yi Hongxing were both very familiar with the practice of teachers giving special lessons, and they accepted Liu Huaixu's special lessons calmly.
When the morning class ended, the students dispersed quickly. Liu Huaixu found an opportunity to keep Yi Hanxing.
Although Yi Hanxing didn't feel guilty, he was still a little nervous when the teacher left him alone: "Teacher Liu, what's the matter?"
Liu Huaixu glanced at Yi Hongxing. After hearing their names, he guessed that they were siblings. Liu Huaixu knew that Yi Hongxing's confidentiality level was much higher than his own, so he didn't try to hide anything and asked directly, "Comrade Han Xing, if my memory serves me correctly, I've seen you in Shanghai."
"This... did you see it wrong?" Yi Hanxing naturally denied it.
"I know you may have a confidentiality principle." Liu Huaixu said: "My previous confidentiality principle is the same as yours, and you don't need to explain anything to me. The main reason I kept you here is to remind you that although your Japanese pronunciation is not bad (Yi Hanxing: After all, it is a pure Japanese dubbing animation), it is obviously a Kanto accent. If there is any disguise in the subsequent work,
If necessary, you should also learn the Kansai dialect carefully."
Yi Hanxing understood that Liu Huaixu had definitely seen him before, and his identity at that time was very different from that in the base. Liu Huaixu himself was also an undercover personnel, so it was easy for Liu Huaixu to guess his identity. However, Yi Hanxing would not admit this identity, nor would he ask about it. He just wanted to remind Yi Hanxing because he hoped that his companions would be able to complete the mission more smoothly in the future.
In order to prevent more people from knowing about this, Liu Huaixu specifically chose a time when only three people were around to remind them. Liu Huaixu didn't know if his reminder would be useful, but since he had discovered it, he still had to remind them in case there was a chance that they would need to temporarily disguise themselves in the future.
Yi Hanxing accepted Liu Huaixu's kindness: "I will study the dialects of different regions of Japan and use them according to the situation. But I'd better learn the current one first so as not to get confused by learning two at once."
Liu Huaixu looked at Yi Hanxing again without leaving any trace and said with certainty, "Even if you have completely forgotten the Guandong dialect, it is worth it for you to learn the Guanxi dialect."
"Huh?" Yi Hanxing made a puzzled sound.
"Most of the ancient nobles in the Kansai region of Japan are from large families, while those who came to China with the Kanto accent are common women. You look like a lady from an aristocratic or newly rich family, not like common women. They need to work and their food is basically Japanese vegetarian. Although they are about the same height as you, they are generally not as white and fat as you." Liu Huaixu explained in detail.
Wait! Although what you said seems to make sense, you should explain: "There's nothing wrong with being white. Who are you talking about being short? Who are you talking about being fat? I haven't grown up yet! I have baby fat! I will grow taller!"
Yi Hanxing grabbed Yi Hongxing and pulled him in front of Liu Huaixu: "Take a good look at
My brother is so skinny and has the same body as a bamboo pole. We have the same father and mother, so how could I be short and fat? "
This is a matter of principle! Yi Hanxing thought.
