I started a senior citizen university after being unemployed, and I became the favorite of my uncles

Aunt Zhong is going to participate in the "World Senior Games".

But she was not going there as a representative of the English class. She was going to attend the exchange meeting as a representative of the top cooking skills among the uncles and aunts.

The competition time is set for a week later, and we will be leaving for the capital soon.

In order to participate in the World Exchange Conference, it is urgent to practice English.

"When we leave school, we must not bring shame to our school." Aunt Zhong encouraged herself and played some BGM to encourage herself to study.

"On the journey of dreams, I left my hometown, carrying a bag on my shoulders, filled with dreams for the future..."

This is what Aunt Zhong learned from her daughter Cai Yunyun.

According to Cai Yunyun, whenever she feels unmotivated at work, she plays a song to coax herself into working.

By the way, I bought some food and drinks to coax myself into work. After giving myself a boost, I secretly downloaded a hybrid version of Plants vs. Zombies on the company computer to continue earning my pay.

This is Cai Yunyun's way of survival.

She doesn't understand why she can't go to senior citizen college in her 20s.

Aunt Zhong, who was the object of envy, picked up a vocabulary book at the age of attending senior citizens' university and started memorizing the word "apple".

In order to be able to speak English well, Aunt Zhong made a rule for herself that she must communicate with others in English every day from now until the competition.

The first “hello” she said when she entered the school gate in the morning started her day with confidence.

She now urgently needed someone to talk to her, and she caught the first lucky person, Aunt Du.

As a "top student", Aunt Du certainly knows English. When she was a doctor in her early years, she was also the "paper king". In order to be able to understand the literature, she taught herself English.

When Auntie Zhong asked, "How are you?"

She answered naturally: "Not bad, may your smile be brighter than yesterday."

Aunt Zhong was stunned for a second, her face full of confusion: "No, it's different from what I learned."

"Speak a little more and I'll write it down." Aunt Zhong took out her vocabulary book and proudly announced, "From now on, I will communicate with everyone in English."

"English, you know?"

Aunt Du nodded, "I believe you can do it."

Obviously, this sentence is a little difficult for Aunt Zhong.

Aunt Zhong’s English was just a so-so thing, having learned a little bit before.

I have been studying for a while now and have gained a lot.

The words she could utter were limited.

"What? Where?"

"What did you say?" Aunt Du paused after hearing her say two question words.

"I asked you what are you talking about, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the classroom." Aunt Du heard her start speaking Chinese and followed suit.

"I know the classroom. It's the classroom." Aunt Zhong finally ran into someone she knew and said excitedly, "Let's go to the classroom together."

"Let's not speak English today. We'll speak English tomorrow."

While learning English, Aunt Zhong also had to prepare for the cooking exchange competition. For this purpose, she did a lot of research on the competition between Chinese and foreigners in "The King of Chefs".

I will go to see Master Wu for some discussion and exchange at noon.

……

Aunt Xu’s intangible cultural heritage class is also preparing for the “World Senior Competition”.

Going abroad for exchanges is an excellent window for cultural promotion.

Moreover, the intangible cultural heritage course is the earliest brand-specific course established by Evergreen.

These clever and skillful aunties have learned real skills after taking classes for half a year.

Embroidery, lacquer fans, velvet flowers, paper cutting, and rope weaving are all the aunts' specialties.

It is a very practical skill that can be used to produce works for exhibitions and also to give to relatives and friends during festivals.

The person who has learned embroidery skills best in the intangible cultural heritage class is Aunt Pan. When she was young, she worked in a textile factory. Later, she opened a tailor shop and made her own clothes.

My biggest hobby is sewing beautiful little clothes for my granddaughter’s Barbie doll, and I also make clothes for my granddaughter.

In her hands, some ordinary fabrics can be transformed into exquisite and fashionable clothes.

She learned embroidery in the intangible cultural heritage class in order to improve her clothing-making skills.

Aunt Pan is now finishing an embroidery of a panda.

It was given as a gift to the foreign teams at the "World Senior Games".

This panda is not her work alone, but was completed by all the aunts in the intangible cultural heritage class, each of whom was responsible for a part.

Aunt Pan, a recognized expert, was responsible for the finishing work.

Intangible cultural heritage teacher Jing Xinran provided guidance to the aunts.

She is one of the young teacher representatives of the Evergreen Team in this "World Senior Competition".

The most important thing the intangible cultural heritage class is responsible for is the organization of exhibits.

The competition has exhibition booths where you can bring your aunts’ works to display or sell them. The main purpose is for exchange and cultural communication.

After cleaning up, Jing Xinran found a lot of good things.

The aunties' works are all well preserved and marked with the periods. When put together, it is not difficult to see that the aunties have made rapid progress.

She used to only be able to make simple snowflake-shaped paper-cuts, but now she can complete small portraits and entire works of art independently.

Paired with the Spring Festival couplets from the calligraphy class, you can easily complete the New Year's Eve party at home.

"Teacher Jing, can you help me see what to embroider here?" Aunt Pan called Jing Xinran to help.

Jing Xinran thought Aunt Pan was asking about the "panda picture" until she saw Aunt Pan take out a pair of neatly folded ripped jeans from her bag.
