"Knowledgeable people, do you still dare to say that you are very knowledgeable?" Li Yi asked lightly.

Liang Ping said: "He studied in the United States and is very knowledgeable."

Zhang Feng felt complacent, shook his shoulders, and said pretending to be chic: "Mr. Li, what you just said is indeed knowledge, but everyone has their own strengths. The grain knowledge you just mentioned is just the common sense of ordinary rural people. Forget it, I’ve never been in the countryside, so naturally I don’t quite understand it. I don’t know what I don’t know, and I admit that this is my weakness.”

Li Yi smiled slightly: "Then what is your knowledge?"

"He speaks English very well." Liang Ping continued to put gold on the face of her "son-in-law". She couldn't believe it. In this world, you, Li Yi, may not be the only good man?Without you, my daughter won't marry?Said: "I saw him talking to foreigners very fluently!"

Li Yidao: "I heard people say that there are regional differences in language. This is the same as the difference in race. People in each region have the characteristics of their vocal cord structure to speak the local language. Birds have bird language, but In order to train birds to speak human, we humans cut off their tongues and change their body structure so that they can speak human. Now people in some countries have invented a new so-called technology. Changing a child's tongue can make them better at speaking English."

"Ah? There is such a thing?" Liang Ping said: "That is too cruel. After all, English is a foreign language, and it is not used in China. Isn't it just learned for fun? Is it necessary to be so cruel?"

Guo Xiaoling smiled and said, "Mom, this is also a very small number of people with extreme ideas."

Zhang Feng said: "I have never cut my tongue! I learned it all by my own ability!"

Li Yi said: "Really? Tell me a paragraph and listen."

Zhang Feng said: "Do you understand?"

Li Yi said: "If you speak pure English, I think I can understand it. If you speak English in various local dialects, then I may not understand it."

Zhang Feng snorted coldly, raised his head, and recited a famous passage from a Shakespeare play.

Li Yi listened and nodded: "Very good, among Chinese people, your English is considered top-notch."

Zhang Fengdao: "What does it mean to be among Chinese people? Even among foreigners, my English level is top-notch!"

Li Yi said: "I went to the United States not long ago. On the busiest street in New York, I saw a beggar lying on the street, singing beautiful English songs in the purest Mi English, begging there! That English The level of spoken English is much purer than that of English professors in many domestic universities."

Liang Ping said in surprise, "Impossible? You can speak English so well, why are you going to be a beggar?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Because he is a native of the United States. When he was still in his mother's womb, he learned to speak the purest Mi-English. His pronunciation structure was also born for speaking English. His spoken English can Is it not good?"

"Haha!" Guo Xingguo had been listening to their bickering with relish, and couldn't help laughing at this moment: "I believe in this matter, I heard that many Chinese people now go to foreign countries to teach Chinese, and the salary is quite high , don’t those beggars on the streets of the capital also speak Mandarin fluently? Don’t foreigners think it’s strange to see them still begging when they can speak such beautiful Chinese? ——Ah, Zhang Feng , I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at those beggars—no, I'm not laughing at those beggars, I'm just laughing casually."

The more he explained, the more embarrassed Zhang Feng became.

Li Yi asked: "Mr. Zhang, what kind of homework did you study in the United States?"

"I study English literature." Zhang Feng immediately became proud again.

"Oh!" Li Yi said with a smile: "You went to the United States to study, and you studied British literature. It's very interesting! Could it be that you can recite Shakespeare's articles in Mi English with so much emotion, even some very old ones? Pronunciation, you can also read correctly."

"Puchi!" Guo Xiaoling laughed again.

Zhang Fengdao: "Shakespeare's literary achievements are recognized all over the world. I have liked to read his works since I was a child. British literature has had a profound and significant impact on the literature of the whole world. I think it is very meaningful to study Shakespeare's literature. .”

Li Yi said: "In our country, there is an academic school that specializes in the study of the Dream of Red Mansions, called Hong Xue. I wonder if Mr. Zhang knows?"

Zhang Feng said: "I've heard of it."

Li Yi said: "Is Dream of the Red Chamber a great work?"

"Of course." Zhang Feng had to admit.

"Many scholars and experts think that Dream of the Red Chamber is the greatest novel in our country. There are many scholars who study it. In recent years, the craze for red studies has also spread overseas. Many foreign friends, after reading the translated version of Dream of the Red Chamber, are deeply moved. Attracted, they turned to learn Chinese and wanted to see the profundity and beauty of the original text, so some people also began to study my country's Dream of Red Mansions and joined the team of red studies." Li Yi said.

"That's a good thing." Zhang Feng said: "Everyone come to study, so that we can thoroughly understand a famous book and discover more meaningful topics."

Li Yi smiled slightly: "So, what do you think those foreigners can achieve by studying our Dream of the Red Chamber?"

"It's hard to say what achievements have been made." Zhang Feng said: "Dream of the Red Chamber is extensive and profound. It is an encyclopedia-like social photo album, covering my country's history, culture, clothing, gardens, diet, traditional Chinese medicine, feudalism, officialdom, commerce, piano and chess. The profound content of various aspects such as calligraphy and painting, a foreigner, no matter how hard he works, spends his whole life, I am afraid it will be difficult to understand the Dream of Red Mansions, let alone research a [-]."

Li Yi asked: "You and I both understand the truth, and the Red Studies experts must understand it better, but they still welcome those foreign friends to join their research team and study the Dream of Red Mansions together. Why is that?"

Zhang Fengdao: "Maybe it's just to make it difficult for others to pay attention to Hongxue? It is always a good thing that more foreigners like and study it. It can also be used to win the attention of domestic people."

Li Yi smiled: "It seems that Mr. Zhang is indeed a smart man."

Zhang Feng suddenly realized that Li Yi was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai!In fact, it was to wake him up. You are a Chinese, but you went to the United States to study, and you studied British literature. This is clearly the opposite!It is even more difficult to make great achievements by abandoning the basics and chasing the end!

Li Yidao: "There is a very famous red study researcher in China. Once he gave a lecture to college students. There were many foreign students sitting below him. He talked about a very famous plot, which is the first warm plot between Baoyu and Daiyu. , The meaning is lingering and quiet, saying that jade produces fragrance. It is said that when Baoyu and Daiyu were lying in the bed, a foreign student below raised his hand. He spoke and said, Baoyu and Daiyu are both married. Why are their relationships still so strange? Everyone I laughed out loud when I heard it. This is the difference between domestic and foreign cultures, which leads to differences in understanding."

"Proficient!" Guo Xingguo said: "Among the four great classics, I have only read Journey to the West. I read it when I was in middle school. After listening to Li Yi, I am very interested in reading Dream of Red Mansions. Zhang Feng , don’t pay too much attention to it, Li Yi is also discussing the matter, not against you personally. "

Zhang Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "I just realized now that I didn't understand anything." Suddenly he said sincerely: "Mr. Li, you are very knowledgeable and wise. I admire you very much. I offended you just now. , I apologize to you. May I be friends with you?"

Li Yi laughed, stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "I'm just a bumpkin from the countryside. I've read a few books and know a few words. I'm very happy to make another doctor who has studied abroad as a friend. Please give me more advice. "

Zhang Feng held Li Yi's hand and said: "It's too late to meet you. Listening to what you say is better than reading for ten years. I have been forced by my parents to learn English and read English literature all these years, but I have lost my country's classics." Yes. I will definitely read the Dream of the Red Chamber carefully and pay tribute to the classics of Chinese studies.”

Li Yi said: "There is nothing wrong with learning English. It is also a good thing to study English literature. Learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians! If a country wants to develop, it is necessary to go abroad. The classics must be studied, and the excellent culture of foreign countries must also be absorbed. .On the one hand, let's encourage each other with Mr. Zhang."

The two bickered so much that they became friends!

This can be regarded as a strange story.

This is where Li Yi's charm lies!

**One person, as long as you are strong enough, you can do it.

But to conquer a person, you can't do it just by being strong!

Turn enemies into friends, let your enemies respect you from the bottom of their hearts, this is even more difficult to do!

Guo Xingguo said to Liang Ping: "It's almost time, we can start cooking."

Li Yi said with a smile: "Auntie, you can just sit at ease and let me do the cooking."

Guo Xiaoling said, "I'll go help."

The two entered the kitchen, and Guo Xiaoling gave Li Yi a thumbs up: "Li Yi, you are getting better and better! It's hard for me not to love you!"

Li Yi smiled: "That Zhang Feng, your parents called you to give you a blind date, right?"

"Oh, that's right! I'm so annoying." Guo Xiaoling sighed.

Li Yi said: "With that Zhang Feng around, it's not convenient for me to say a lot of things. After he leaves, I'll talk to them again."

Guo Xiaoling smiled and said: "Okay, I don't think it's much worse than Zhuge Liang who is fighting all the Confucians with his tongue. You will definitely be able to convince my parents."

Li Yi laughed.

The meal at noon won the praise of a table of people, who praised Li Yi for his good craftsmanship.

After the meal, Zhang Feng said goodbye and left, Liang Ping didn't want to keep him anymore. Dr. Yang, who looked perfect before, didn't feel much better when compared by Li Yi at the moment.

Guo Xiaoling took her mother's hand and said with a smile: "How about it? I won, right? You promised, and if the person I brought won, you promised to let me be with him. Don't go back on your word!"

Liang Ping said firmly: "It doesn't count! Unless Li Yi divorces first!" (To be continued.)
