Rural life in America

Chapter 150 Dialect, Dialect
Zhang Hao is weak, and the phone at home has been ringing frequently recently; some reporters and media want to interview Zhang Hao and see Luo Bo, and these people are really capable of finding Zhang Hao's home number.

But this is quite normal. Who told Zhang Hao not to be a public figure? His home number has never been kept secret.It's just that Zhang Hao has learned his lesson this time, he knows that he has to start preparing to protect some of his information now, and he doesn't want to be harassed.

I can only accept it, although there are indeed some fucking animal protection organizations who want to contact Zhang Hao; but just ignore those people at all, anyway, Luobo is nestled in the pasture all day, so there is nothing to worry about.

As for the call from Professor Xiao En, there is no need to pay attention to it at all, Zhang Hao is quite upset with that old guy; although Sean explained that it was his students who caused the trouble, but Zhang Hao doesn't care about that, Sean must bear the responsibility Yes, it happened because of his lax discipline.

What Xiao En thinks about Zhang Hao is beyond his control, he is still quite stubborn and admits death sometimes.

The little girl Xixi didn't know at all that she had become a small Internet celebrity, although it was largely because of Luo Bo's reasons; but Xixi, a cute little girl, could get along with Luo Bo harmoniously, which caused a lot of trouble. focus on.

Who made Xixi itself cute, and who made Christina's social media still have short videos of Xixi arguing with Huahua, riding a pony, walking the dog, or fighting with a little squirrel.

They were all pulled out, this pot belongs to Christina!
Zhang Hao was naturally upset about the trouble caused by outsiders, but as for Christina, it was an unintentional mistake.

Helping relatives or not, Zhang Hao did a good job in this regard.

The listless Zhang Hao sat on the sofa and watched the materials sent by Phil, and was preparing for the horse race; the Triple Crown race, the single event is a little less, but it is influential and traditional. Bet heavily.

Xixi came back, the little internet celebrity wore a mess of hair, and the most important thing was that Huahua's parrot stood on Xixi's head; the little girl didn't care, and ran happily to the kitchen.

"Grandma, I drink water."

After drinking the water, he ran out the door, but was caught by Zhang Hao this time.

He grabbed Xixi and made her stand in front of her, "Xixi, dad will teach you how to count."

It was originally separated by half a meter, but who knew that the little girl Xixi was very talented; she hummed a few words, and then lay on her father's lap while her father was not paying attention.

Looking at the baby girl who loves to act like a baby, Zhang Hao is really speechless; Zhang Hao is actually not very in favor of teaching children too many things when they are very young, and playing carefree is what Xixi should do.

It just made Zhang Hao gnash his teeth a little bit. If Xixi is smart, Zhang Hao thinks Xixi is really smart; it's just that Xixi's smartness is obviously only for playing games, and the little girl has no interest in learning at all. Yes, although her family has taught her, she still can't count from one to ten.

"You count with me, I will teach you how to count."

Xixi, who was lying on her father's lap, was playing with her father's big hand and pinching her father's fingernails; even if there were no games, Xixi could still find some games to play.

As for counting, Xixi didn't really care; or if she hadn't been caught by her father and couldn't escape, the little girl would have run away long ago.

"one two Three"

Xixi also counted in a childish voice, "One, two, three, ten"

Zhang Hao suddenly became nervous, and said to Xixi, "Xixi, it's four, not ten."

Xixi looked at her father seriously, and said, "Ten."

Feeling a little nervous, I looked at the little girl and said, "Then you tell Dad, ten."

Xixi didn't feel any pressure at all, she raised her face and said, "Four."

Without the black line in his head, Zhang Hao felt a little stressed. He knew that Xixi was not very clear when he spoke. normal.

However, I haven't heard that Xixi has a spoken language or a big tongue; although Xixi speaks a relatively authentic hometown dialect, it seems that there is really no difference between "four" and "ten" in our hometown.

"Xixi, open your mouth, Dad, let's see if you have a big tongue."

The little girl obediently opened her mouth, "Ah"; once again she was sure that Xixi wasn't a big tongue, could it be that she really curled her tongue?
Seeing Zhang Hao counting with Xixi, Christina ran over and complained, "She did it on purpose, I can assure you. If you ask her to count with you, she can count to ten. But if you Let her count and she will be lazy."

Looking at the cute Xixi, Zhang Hao thinks that Xixi is not so cunning, but he still has to try it out. Zhang Hao believes that Christina will not sue for blackmail, maybe Xixi is really like this.

"One, two, five, nine, four."

After counting to ten, Xixi raised her face and waited for her father's compliment; it's not that Xixi doesn't care about her father's dumbfounded look now, the little girl thinks that counting to ten is enough.

Christina looked at Zhang Hao helplessly, she already knew how to count from one to ten in Chinese, but Xixi just couldn't teach it.

Looking at Christina, Zhang Hao thought it was better to tell Christina a more speechless news.

"Not only can she not count now, her accent is very strange. Although I think it may be because she is still young, but I have to admit that she may really have an accent. You know, you learn Chinese It's started to change, it's become our hometown accent."

Christina nodded straight. The Mandarin she learned was relatively formal; but at home, she was with Zhang Hao's family.Needless to say, her Chinese must have some accent.

"Mom, Sihe Xixi is very unclear."

Yu Xiu is a little strange, what does Sihe very unclear mean?
Zhang Hao patted Xixi's little butt, and said to Xixi, "Xixi, say 'ten'."

Xixi raised her face, very happy; because her mother and grandma were looking at her, the little girl said confidently, "Four!"

Yu Xiu was speechless all of a sudden, and of course she laughed seeing Xixi's cute appearance; "Sihe is very unclear? This is really a bit strange, I think it will be better when you grow up. Don't let your father teach Xixi how to speak in the future." , or else the 'F' and 'H' will be really indistinguishable in the future. If you ask him to say 'yellow', he will definitely say 'room'. He used to say 'airplane', but he really said 'handy machine' .”

Mom’s attack is a bit wide. Zhang Hao knows that there are catchphrases like “handy machine” on the domestic Internet; but Zhang Hao had such an accent when he was a child. It is really because of the influence of the accent that he can’t tell the difference. and F.

Yu Xiu continued, "Your dad used to make people laugh when he sent a text message, and he could understand the meaning as soon as he read it. Sometimes he didn't know the meaning just by reading the words. He couldn't type out the pinyin before, and he still read After junior high school, I don’t even know pinyin! Didn’t he have that kind of handwritten screen later, he likes that kind of mobile phone, good for sending text messages.”

It's a bit embarrassing, but it's also an interesting topic; Christina didn't understand it very well, but she understood it as soon as Zhang Hao explained it.

In the United States, there are actually regions and accents. Many people say that the British think that the accents of Americans are hard and not gentle; but in the United States, many people on the east coast also complain about the accents of people on the west coast, and even different states have some accents. small difference.

Zhang Jianye went home and was immediately 'criticized and educated', "You should pay attention when teaching Xixi to speak in the future. Xixi has a pretty strong accent now. Youyou Mandarin is very good. Look at our Xixi, I don't know I thought it was always the child we brought up in my hometown."

Zhang Jianye was a little confused, but he didn't want to take the blame, even though he knew that many children were taught standard Mandarin from an early age.However, Zhang Jianye thinks that his hometown dialect is also good. In fact, he should pay attention to it. The difference between his hometown dialect and Mandarin is not too big.

"You can't blame me. You and Xiaohao spoke in dialects when they brought Xixi. Tina also learned it from you. The responsibility lies with you. Think about it for yourself. You are the one who talks to them every day. , Xiao Hao is also responsible."

Yu Xiu is so angry, why is this pot thrown back, and she must not accept it, "I taught them to pay attention to their speech, but you don't pay attention to your accent when you speak. When I help Xiaolei with Yoyo, I speak You can't change your accent, you have to change it now!"

This topic was really a little embarrassing, so Zhang Jianye laughed; he didn't object at all to the dialect with a heavy accent, because it was the truth.

The carefree Xixi is still running around at home, taking her dog Rabbit to bully Huahua; because Xixi wants to feed the little squirrel figs, but Huahua comes to stop her again.

In order to grab a lot of figs, Xixi has to control Huahua; now it is pouted and grabbing a lot of figs. Although Huahua is very anxious, there is nothing she can do. Pressed under the claws, even if it is constantly struggling, it cannot escape.

Let these little guys make trouble, anyway, they won't be really angry.

"I'm Huahua, baby, I'm Huahua!"

Amidst Huahua's mournful cry from the food protector, Xixi continued to hold the fig unmoved. She was going to feed the little squirrel. The little squirrel had a good relationship with her recently and wanted to continue playing together.

"Huahua, I didn't take all of them, there are too many rats."

Zhang Hao collapsed all of a sudden, just now he was talking about Xixi's dialect with a strong accent, isn't it a dialect through and through!
This time Zhang Jianye and Yu Xiu are also a little embarrassed, but they also find it very interesting in this embarrassment; Xixi's baby-sounding little dialect is still very distinctive, not necessarily standard Mandarin to be cute , dialects can also be quite cute.
