After listening to what Xu Manman said, Chen Ming was a little shocked, but he also felt that it was something his cousin could do.
When he was a child, he also received English enlightenment from his uncle, but the little boy at that time had poor self-control and was more focused on playing. Moreover, Russian was more popular at that time, so he didn't have much energy to learn English.
If he were to learn it again now, he would only be familiar with the 26 letters and the simplest words, which is no different from learning it from scratch.
"Manman, your English is so good, why didn't you choose English as your major? Maybe you could become a diplomat in the future."
"I just never gave it up. After all, my father taught me, so it can be considered a childhood skill. As for calling it a hobby or making a living from it in the future, I have never thought about it." Xu Manman shook her head.
The profession of diplomat does look glamorous and prestigious, but the pressure and danger involved are not something that ordinary people can endure. Moreover, the country's diplomatic relations are still in the early stages, and things are not so easy to do. If you are not careful, you may even lose your life. For a lazy person like Xu Manman, it is really not a good career.
Chen Ming straightened the table that was about to tilt. "I heard that many English majors start from scratch. With your level, you can probably graduate directly if you go there."
"Not really. They're training to become diplomats and translators, so what they learn is definitely more targeted. My current English, even with my dad's foundation, is still just a rough draft compared to theirs."
Having said that, Chen Ming's words still made Xu Manman's heart move.
It is indeed a bit stressful for her to retake other majors and get another degree, but language, especially English, is really not difficult.
For more professional directions and translation skills, Teacher Jin can give her some guidance. The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Xu Manman decided to ask the counselor tomorrow.
When they arrived downstairs at the dormitory, Xu Manman divided her things with Chen Ming, and then she carried the overturned table with the things piled on the back and walked towards the dormitory.
Xu Manman held the table with both hands and pushed the door open with her foot.
The people in the dormitory found it a bit funny to see someone with his head and face covered by piled things.
The fifth and fourth brothers cleared the things on the table and asked her to put them down.
The third child stood up, holding his stomach. "Hey, sixth child, where did you and your cousin go today? Why did you buy so many things?"
Xu Manman felt from the bottom of her heart that the nickname Laoliu was really not nice, it would be better to call him Laoyao.
"We went for a walk in Dazhalan." Xu Manman spread out the bags of snacks and gave a little to everyone.
The eldest, Huang Lijuan, took a bite and said, "This is really delicious, Manman. Where did you buy it? I'll buy some for my two little ones to try someday."
The fourth child, Li Xiaochun, hadn't eaten it yet. He took a look at it and immediately recognized it. "This is the ox tongue biscuit I bought at Daoxiang Village in Qianmen."
Xu Manman nodded and handed another piece to Cai Mei, the second-in-command on the upper bunk. Cai Mei whispered a thank you.
The fifth brother ate with one hand and held the food with the other hand to catch the crumbs that fell. "Youngest brother, it's delicious. Next time you go there, call me and I want to buy some too."
Xu Manman agreed, distributed the snacks, and then began to organize the other things she bought today.
She put some commonly used items in a bag and hung it at the end of the bed so that it didn't take up space and was convenient to take.
There are also some things that are not often used, which will be hung on the wall when the time comes. Some things, she secretly put away in the space when she went upstairs. There is no other way. As I said before, the dormitory is too small and there is no place to put so many things.
I put all the food I bought today in a box to avoid attracting ants and mice. After I finished cleaning up, I put the small table back on its right side and prepared to put it on the bed.
Only then did the others realize that it was actually a small table.
When Xu Manman put it away and turned sideways to get out of bed, she found herself being watched again.
Lao Wu looked at the small table. Xu Manman's quilt could be tucked right under it. It didn't take up any space and looked tidier.
"Youngest, this table of yours is great. Where did you buy it?"
"I found it at the scrap yard next to the school. It was originally a small table with a lame leg." Xu Manman pointed to the leg that was obviously different in color.
Yang Yang quickly asked, "Do you have any more? I'll go check it out tomorrow." If she had one, she could do her homework in bed covered with a quilt.
