Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

The morning in Beijing is still quiet, without the hustle and bustle of traffic. The city is still asleep, but the people at the breakfast stalls are already busy preparing ingredients to welcome customers.

Dong Feifei ran along the riverbank for an hour before running back.

When I passed by just now, I saw that a steamed bun shop at the entrance of the food street was packed with people early in the morning. Their steamed buns must be delicious.

When Dong Feifei arrived, there were still many people. As soon as the girl in charge of queuing at the door heard that Dong Feifei was alone, she quickly pulled Dong Feifei inside.

The young girl pulled Dong Feifei to an empty seat and said with a grin, "Miss, you're so lucky! There's just one seat left. If there were any more people, you'd have to wait forever."

Dong Feifei didn't mind having to share a table with others at breakfast stalls like this.

If you really cared, you wouldn't have chosen a place like this for breakfast, right?

Dong Feifei quickly smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm really lucky today. Thank you, sister."

"You're welcome! Miss, the menus are all on the wall!" The girl pointed to the poster on the wall and said, "Once you've decided what you want to eat, just press the service bell in the middle of the table and someone will come to take your order. We require payment in advance here."

"Take your time looking around, everything here is delicious! Miss, I'm busy outside, so I'll have to go now." Seeing Dong Feifei's delicate appearance and bright smile, the young girl patted Dong Feifei's shoulder warmly before going out to continue her work.

Dong Feifei took her phone out of her sports waist bag, then opened Taobao and checked the money in it. "Hmm, good, thankfully the original owner wasn't short of money."

So Dong Feifei looked at the menu on the wall with peace of mind. Then she reached out and pressed the service bell on the table.

Not long after, a girl with a sensor on her waist and a small tablet in her hand walked over.

What would you like to eat?

"One serving each of xiaolongbao, crab roe buns, crystal dumplings, shrimp shumai, and sesame rolls, and one serving of zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)!"

The waitress was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and repeated, "Sir, you ordered one each of xiaolongbao, crab roe buns, crystal steamed dumplings, shrimp shumai, sesame rolls, and zhajiangmian, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Okay, that's 38 yuan in total."

"Okay, I'll pay with Taobao." Dong Feifei immediately unlocked her phone and opened the payment code.

Upon hearing that it was a Taobao payment, the waitress expertly pulled out the scanner hanging on her right side, and with a "beep," the transaction was complete.

The waitress pulled out a sign from the left and handed it to Dong Feifei, saying, "When the sign vibrates, please take it and go to the window to get your food. We're short-staffed, please understand."

Dong Feifei took the sign, smiled and nodded, saying, "It's alright, it's alright."

While waiting for breakfast, Dong Feifei noticed a little girl with pigtails sitting to her right.

Perhaps because business was so good, the wait was very long, and the little girl was already doing exercises in an English workbook.

The child's grandmother had a pink cartoon backpack on her lap and was looking at the girl with a loving expression.

Dong Feifei found the waiting time too boring and didn't want to be glued to her phone. So she started to look at the little girl sitting next to her.

The little girl had her hair tied in pigtails with two small pink and white flowers. She wore a white V-neck blouse with a dark blue collar, a white pleated skirt, white over-the-knee socks with blue and red trim, and small round-toed black leather shoes. She looked like a delicately sculpted dumpling.

Dong Feifei noticed that the little dumpling was pouting, holding a pencil in her right hand, her chubby chin lowered, and her big, bright eyes staring at the exercise book in front of her with a bitter look.

Dong Feifei then shifted her attention from the little dumpling to the workbook.

"Little sister, the answer to this question should be D. The question tests the present perfect tense, not the future perfect tense."

The little dumpling blinked its puzzled eyes at Dong Feifei: "Sister, the teacher said that the present perfect tense indicates the effect or result of an action that happened in the past on the present, or that an action or state in the past continues to the present."

"The future perfect tense is used to express actions that were completed or continued until a certain time in the future. It refers to actions that have continued until now." The little dumpling looked at Dong Feifei with a puzzled expression and asked, "Then how can I tell whether to use the present past tense or the future past tense?"

Dong Feifei pondered for a moment, organizing her thoughts.

After all, if you want someone to truly understand the difference between them, it's useless to talk about theories; you can only explain it in a way that they can understand.

It's not difficult to be a teacher, but it's not easy to be a good teacher.

Moreover, the past perfect tense, present perfect tense, and future perfect tense are indeed a major challenge for primary and junior high school students.

If they cannot clearly understand the differences between these types of questions, and they make mistakes on these types of questions multiple times, it will dampen their enthusiasm and make them give up on these types of questions in the future.

Having finally gotten the chance to be a teacher, Dong Feifei was determined to think carefully about how to explain things to the little dumpling.

"I have three sentences to say, and you can analyze them, little sister. I've lived here for ten years. Next month, I'll have known the owner of this place for ten years. But before moving here, I lived in City A for ten years."

Dong Feifei held up three fingers seriously, looked at the little girl and continued, "These three sentences include the past perfect tense, the present perfect tense and the future perfect tense."

"They're all related by ten years, but they contain three tenses. Little sister, can you tell them apart?"

For Chinese people, the most familiar language is still Mandarin.

Therefore, Dong Feifei did not start by explaining using English vocabulary combinations.

The little dumpling thought for a moment and then shook its head.

"I lived in City A for ten years before I moved here, but where do I live now, little sister?" Dong Feifei patiently guided the little girl.

"Jingshi."

“Yes, and I lived in Beijing for ten years.” Dong Feifei nodded and continued, “So what I did live in City A is in the past.”

"I lived in city A before I moved here, but I don't anymore. Does my past residence in city A affect my current residence in Beijing?"

The little dumpling shook its head.

"Yes, it has no impact. Living in City A is a thing of the past for me, and it happened before and after I lived in Beijing."

"So 'But I lived in City A for ten years before I came to City J' should be in the past perfect tense, which translates to 'But I had lived in City A for ten years before I came to City J'."

Dong Feifei explained in detail: "The structure used here is subject + had + past participle of the verb."

"And 'I have lived here for ten years,' does the act of living here have continued since I moved from City A to Beijing? And is it an act that has already been completed?"
