Chapter 109 Can I Hug You?
Everyone agreed that they couldn't give it to her, and their will was even stronger than hers. Jiang Si suddenly felt guilty: "I only promised Dr. Xi Rui to give me one."
Jiang Si's judgment must have a reason and be correct.
Jiang Linhai immediately said, "Okay, give them one as a token of appreciation and let them fight for it. We absolutely cannot give out the rest."
Jiang Si nodded, "Well, I definitely won't give it to you."
After everyone finished discussing, Zhang Qingfang prepared to take Zhang Qingfang and Jiang Linhai to farm.
The seedlings she has cultivated in the past few days have already sprouted.
She couldn't wait to show her skills.
First grow some vegetables, then some grains. There is quite a lot of space on the boat, and there is heating anyway. After some renovations, we can still grow crops and raise livestock.
Jiang Si stopped him and said, "There's no rush to farm. Let's learn English while everyone is in good shape."
Except for Qin Shen, everyone was stunned.
Especially the older Zhang Qingfang and Jiang Chengwu, they all wondered in unison: "Learning English?"
Can they do it?
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Well, this is the North, and most people here are from the North. Learning English is an important survival skill, and you don't have to learn too hard. Just being able to communicate is enough."
Jiang Linhai had never done well in school, and he was particularly worried. "Sisi, how long did it take you to reach a basic level of communication?"
Shen Baoying exclaimed: "She started learning English since elementary school!"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "It won't take that long. Adult English can be learned quickly if you study it seriously. If you have a specialized language environment, it will be difficult for anyone not to learn it."
"What is a specialized language environment?"
Qin Shen explained for Jiang Si: "Everyone speaks English."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. If everyone spoke English, how could they get anything done?
Niuniu raised her hand and said, "Sister, I can't speak English."
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Take your time. Don't rush. Once everyone has memorized more than 500 words, I will force everyone to communicate in English."
Jiang Linhai’s eyes widened. Five hundred foreign words, that would kill him.
He looked at Jiang Si pitifully, "What if you can't learn it?"
Jiang Si suddenly turned serious and said, "Even if you can't learn it, you have to learn it. It's a survival skill!"
Everyone immediately looked serious and agreed: "Okay!"
Jiang Si and Qin Shen both know English, so they need to prepare learning materials in advance.
When everyone heard that they didn’t have to study today, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and ran away to farm.
Jiang Si and Qin Shen came to the public study area. The books provided to Antarctic researchers were all in English. Some of them were quite profound and interesting.
Jiang Si took a few casual glances and was dazzled by the densely packed words.
Although her spoken English is okay, it is not her native language after all, and she cannot recognize some unfamiliar words at all.
Seeing her frown, Qin Shen said straightly, "Do you need me to read it to you?"
Although she seemed inferior to him in every way, he was really... considerate.
The eyes are also good.
Jiang Si laughed and said, "Let's not read it anymore. Let's first sort out the content they need to learn."
Qin Shen looked at the books she put back, turned his head and nodded again, "Yeah."
She thought that teaching everyone English should not be a big deal.
However, with Qin Shen, Zhu Yu, in front of her and having him correct her pronunciation several times, she simply raised her head and acted like a good student, watching him read and organize the materials.
Serious men are really handsome, and Qin Shen’s handsomeness is profound.
If the world hadn't ended, he would definitely be a top elite.
Jiang Si asked without reason, "Did you adapt when you first arrived in the North Country?"
In fact, she really wanted to ask, isn’t he worried about his mother?
But Qin Shen never mentioned it and even returned to China, which made her suspicious that perhaps his mother had passed away.
It’s not good to ask too abruptly, because the words immediately change when they are on the tip of your tongue.
Qin Shen paused his movements and looked at him with a hint of desolation in his deep eyes. "Not very good."
Jiang Si's heart sank, and he felt a little regretful for asking.
But since the topic had already come to this, she quickly consoled him, "You speak English so well now, you must have adapted to it."
Qin Shen suddenly fell silent, "Not too good either."
Jiang Si: ...
How the hell was she supposed to respond?
She hesitated again and again, but finally asked, "Why?"
Qin Shen suddenly fell silent again. Just when Jiang Si thought he was being boring, Qin Shen suddenly confided his worries to her, "My mother remarried in the North Country and gave birth to another boy. But my brother, like his father, has a disease and relies on a bone marrow transplant to survive. She brought me here so that I could be his disguise reservoir because we're a perfect match."
Jiang Si was shocked that Qin Shen's mother would treat Qin Shen like this. Qin Shen was already pitiful enough when he was a child because of his father.
Jiang Si opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Qin Shen laughed at himself again, "If I hadn't been matched, perhaps she would have thrown me into an orphanage without hesitation."
"I should thank her."
Jiang Si didn't know what kind of mentality Qin Shen had when he told such a cruel reality, but she felt very sad for Qin Shen now.
Although she suffered in her previous life and her entire family died tragically, she still has 100% love from her parents.
No wonder Qin Shen was so calm towards her family, it turned out he was envious.
Jiang Si reached out and placed her hand on Qin Shen's back, gently, like a mother caressing her child, "It's all over."
Qin Shen raised his head, his dark eyes locked on hers, and he suddenly smiled, "Yes, it's all in the past, and I paid it off long ago."
"Um."
Perhaps Qin Shen confided his true feelings to her, which invisibly shortened the distance between them.
Qin Shen walked her to the door of the room. Jiang Si suddenly called him, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said, "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. Can I stay with you for a while?"
Qin Shen's expression paused, "Do you want to go to my room?"
Jiang Si blushed, "My room is fine too."
Qin Shen entered Jiang Si's room. There was only a bed and a work stool. He was tall, so the room suddenly seemed a little narrow.
Jiang thought about whether hugging Qin Shen would expand the space. Seeing Qin Shen standing in the middle of the room with a slightly awkward look on his face, he suppressed his embarrassment and said calmly, "You can lie down on the bed."
Qin Shen looked at her, and her face became even hotter. "I, if you think it's convenient."
They had hugged each other like this last time, and Jiang Si thought she didn't need to say anything, but who would have thought that he just stood there motionless.
Qin Shen also noticed the embarrassment on Jiang Si's face, "Can I go wash up first?"
Jiang Si was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly like a quail: "Okay, okay, there is a spare toilet. If you are not used to it, you can go back and use it." Anyway, they are all next door.
Oh my God, she actually forgot that Qin Shen loves cleanliness.
