"Okay, you should go get some sleep too."
"Yeah," Nanqiao nodded obediently, went back to the room and fell asleep soon after.
When he woke up again, he heard the sound of chopping wood in the yard. Nanqiao got up, packed up, and left the room.
"Brother, you finally have a day off, why don't you get some more sleep?"
Nanzhou stood up and looked towards Nanqiao.
"I'm used to it. It's like this every day in the army. Resting for too long doesn't feel good. Did I wake you up?"
"No, I only sleep for a short while every day. If I sleep too long, I won't be able to fall asleep at night."
"Well, go sit in the shade and I'll finish this."
Nanqiao nodded, but did not sit down. Instead, he pulled up the iced sour plum soup from the well.
He poured two cups and placed them on the small table beside him, then sat on the recliner and read a book.
There wasn't much firewood in the yard, so Nanzhou quickly collected it all and stacked it neatly aside.
After washing his face, he sat down next to Nanqiao and looked at the book in Nanqiao's hand.
"A foreign language? Given to you by your uncle? Can you understand it?" Nanzhou was also a little surprised that Nanqiao would read such a book.
"Well, my uncle gave it to me a few years ago. I thought I had nothing to do in the village, so I secretly brought it with me." The book that Nanqiao was reading today was indeed given by his uncle, and it can also be bought in foreign exchange stores now, so Nanqiao did not hide it. And the fact that he can speak foreign languages will always be slowly let everyone know...
"I remember your uncle taught you English for a few days when he was smiling. Why are you still learning it after so long?" It was a bit unexpected for Nanzhou that his delicate little sister would learn this.
Nanqiao has always been a gifted student with good grades. She can learn everything she learns in class, but it is harder than climbing a mountain to get her to write a few more words at home...
So at this moment, there is neither a language environment nor a teacher to teach me. It is conceivable how much effort it takes to learn a language and be able to understand the original English works.
"My uncle always teaches me something every time he comes back. Besides, I think the country is trying to increase foreign exchange earnings, so foreign languages will be useful sooner or later."
"That's true. Even if the college entrance examination cannot be resumed, being able to communicate with foreigners is another way out." Nanzhou agreed with Nanqiao's idea.
