Chapter 546: Inheritance
"Liu Yunshu?"
Lu Miao raised his eyebrows.
The surname Liu...
Could it be such a coincidence?
The one her child’s father mentioned?
Lu Miao's eyelashes trembled as he looked up and down at Liu Yunshu.
The girl was about twenty years old and tall and thin.
She has fair skin and big round eyes.
His eyebrows are black and thick, as are his long hair.
She had two braids hanging in front of her chest, tied with a red hairband.
She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is pretty and attractive.
and……
Lu Miao looked at Liu Yunshu carefully, and vaguely felt a sense of familiarity.
This attitude, this arrogance, how long ago, she was exactly the same as she was when she traveled through time...
Lu Miao was slightly startled and asked:
"Are you majoring in geography and climate?"
Liu Yunshu raised his lips and smiled, looking quite proud:
"Yes, I am Liu Yunshu from the School of Geography and Climate."
It really is...
Perhaps he had expected this, so Lu Miao was not very surprised.
After briefly asking about the situation, Lu Miao got straight to the point:
"Why were you laughing when the other students were reading aloud? Is there something funny? Why don't you tell us so we can all laugh together?"
Liu Yunshu pursed her lips and looked at Lu Miao with surprise in her eyes.
Her father is the director of a chemical plant and has already established connections at the school.
Many teachers knew about her and usually turned a blind eye to her.
This teacher Lu obviously knew something about her situation.
She thought that after she told him the detailed professional information, the new teacher Lu would not continue to bother her.
I didn't expect that she would ask further questions?
"He spoke English with a regional accent, and it sounded like he was speaking in dialect. I thought it was weird and funny, so I laughed. Is that a problem?"
Liu Yunshu sneered contemptuously, rolled his eyes, and answered frankly that he was not afraid at all.
As soon as she finished speaking, the students around her all laughed softly.
The students who had just participated in the interaction had already lowered their heads in shame and inferiority.
This is not a good sign.
If you tolerate it this time, it will happen a second and third time in class.
Lu Miao frowned slightly, knocked on the podium with the bamboo stick, glanced at the people around him and asked:
"You guys who laughed along all agreed with what she said and thought the same as she did, right?"
“…”
No one argued or refuted. It was as if everyone agreed.
Lu Miao took a deep breath and asked Liu Yunshu to sit down first.
She pursed her lips, closed her lesson plan, briefly summarized her thoughts, and then spoke:
"Language has a vital force. Of all the dialects in our country, Mandarin has the weakest expressiveness."
"In Henan dialect, raindrops are called 'dixing', and drizzle is called 'mengsong'. Over the past thousands of years, there have been more than 20,000 Song Dynasty poems and more than 40,000 Tang Dynasty poems, some of which describe dripping dew, dripping water, and dripping sand, but not a single poet has mentioned 'dixing'."
"The only poem that combines the images of rain and stars is Xin Qiji's 'Seven or eight stars in the sky, two or three drops of rain in front of the mountain. The east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night, and then blows them down like rain.'"
Before traveling through time, Lu Miao studied literature and had great ease in many things.
The classroom was completely silent. It didn't matter that no one responded. She continued:
"Umbrellas are ordinary, but in Sichuan dialect they are called 'supporting flowers.' You've all read Yan Jidao's poem 'A man stands alone amidst falling petals, swallows fly in pairs amidst the gentle rain.' A man stands alone amidst falling petals, swallows fly in pairs amidst the gentle breeze and drizzle. Isn't this a beautiful scene?"
The students in the English Intermediate Class 1 all stared at Lu Miao.
According to conventional thinking, everyone thought she was going to preach, but they didn't expect that she would quote classics in every sentence.
It's not really preaching, but...
It seems to have expanded their thinking.
However, Lu Miao did not stop and continued:
"In Hakka dialect, a rainbow is called a 'sky bow.' There's a line in poetry that goes, 'Looking longingly, looking longingly, the clouds and mountains hang like a sky bow.'"
"In Shandong dialect, yesterday is called 'ye lai'. This is even more amazing, students. There is a poem called 'Huanxisha' in the Song Dynasty that says: 'The east wind is as cold as the night comes'. People in the Song Dynasty called yesterday 'ye lai'!"
"The expressive power of language depends entirely on how many people have spoken it and for how many years. In Shaanxi dialect, annoyance is called '恓惶'. In the Tang Dynasty, there was the immortal poet Li Bai, who wrote, 'Who can I entrust my lonely white sword to? I sing a sad song of self-pity. Forced by anxiety, I have no time to warm my seat.' In the Song Dynasty, there was Ouyang Xiu, who wrote, 'Holding the gate and beating the drums, rushing about in panic. Mencius's Warring States period, Yang Xiong's New Era, some were unlucky in their time.'"
"These poems and allusions were elegant music in the past, more than a thousand years ago, my classmates."
"Dialects carry cultural heritage, passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors' witty and eloquent words."
"Don't be ashamed of speaking in dialect, and don't find other people's accents ridiculous. Speaking of pronunciation, none of you here, myself included, can claim to have standard English pronunciation, so don't dwell on it, and don't easily laugh at others for anything, because most of the time..."
Lu Miao took a breath, looked around at everyone and said:
"Some individuals' thoughtless behavior is more ridiculous than anything else! We are all adults, and I hope you won't put yourselves in ridiculous situations."
She quoted classic sayings in every sentence of her speech, which convinced the students in Class 1.
The students' faces became serious and they all accepted the instruction. No one was playing around with laughter anymore.
Only Liu Yunshu felt a deep sense of suffocation in his heart.
Liu Yunshu felt that this new English teacher was using her as an example, deliberately picking on her mistakes to intimidate her and set an example for everyone.
Especially the last sentence is particularly meaningful.
What is “mindless” behavior?
Why didn't she think about it?
If you are a country bumpkin and you can’t speak English, don’t speak it!
You speak without any tune, and you don't allow people to laugh at you?
Liu Yunshu glared at Lu Miao angrily, then turned around and glared at the male classmate who had just stood up to read.
Lu Miao patted the podium and unfolded the lesson materials again, not giving the audience much time to do anything.
"Everyone, please copy the short sentences on the blackboard and continue the class in two minutes."
"Yes, teacher..."
Maintaining order in the classroom took several minutes.
Before get out of class ended, Lu Miao thought briefly and said:
"There are two advanced English classes in the afternoon. If you don't have classes this afternoon, you can come and listen if you'd like."
Lu Miao reached into the back seat and continued:
"But remember to sit in the back row so as not to disturb the advanced classes."
There are two advanced classes, each with thirty to forty students.
Every time I have class, the classroom is empty.
If anyone in the intermediate class is interested in English, they can come and listen as long as they have the time.
"yes……"
The students answered in unison.
"Ding-ling-ling—ding-ling-ling—"
The bell for the end of get out of class rang just in time.
Lu Miao guided students step by step to learn how to say "Goodbye, teacher" in English.
Then he unplugged the microphone connector, packed up his things, and went to the office with his bag.
