Step by step, a gentle breeze leads to a smooth path

Tingnan was a woman who refused to admit defeat. Mingfu was shouting and yelling beside her, but Tingnan was too lazy to pay attention to him. She was thinking of a solution. If this kind of training wasn't working, there must be a right way. Mingfu's noise made Tingnan a little impatient. Not wanting Zuo Jinyue to worry, she ran outside and practiced a set of boxing moves, which calmed her down a lot.

There was still no way around it, so he decided to finish his homework first. While he was writing, the energetic Mingfu started clamoring to play with Tingnan. Song Wanli saw Tingnan sitting at the desk and immediately stopped him. When he didn't listen, Song Wanli rolled up his sleeves and started hitting him without saying a word, making Mingfu scream "Ah, ah..."

Got an idea!

"Teacher Zuo, come here quickly, let's try practicing English, starting with single letters. You see, a...b... this way the pronunciation should be very clear."

Zuo Jinyue naturally cooperated, and it was indeed very effective. After several attempts, she pronounced each letter correctly. Song Mingfu's beating had a remarkable effect, so Ting Nan decided to reward him with a piece of chicken cake.

"Great, Teacher Zuo, say the English words again." Having experienced success, Ting Nan continued practicing with full confidence.

They practiced and practiced, words, sentences, and then switched to Chinese. By the time they increased their speaking speed, Zuo Jinyue had already left.

Two weeks passed quickly, and Ting Nan visited the nursing home again, bringing food and wine as usual.

"Master, I've practiced lip reading with English letters and words first, and then I'm going to practice sentences." Nan Xiang reported Liu Dayong's learning progress.

"English? Hahaha... Listen, Nan, this is great. You can even decipher foreigners' lip reading in the future." Liu Dayong was very happy. His apprentice would make up for his regrets from back then.

“Listen to Nan, I’m going to talk to you about beatboxing today. Imitating all kinds of sounds is much more difficult, and practicing it is a long and arduous process.” Liu Dayong was very excited, recalling his previous practice.

"Let's start with basic training, training the flexibility of the mouth and tongue, such as touching the tip of the nose with the tongue, touching the chin with the tongue, drawing circles in the mouth, and practicing counting teeth and writing numbers with the tip of the tongue." After Liu Dayong finished speaking, he demonstrated it once, and his tongue was really flexible.

Song Tingnan tried it in front of the mirror; it looked easy, but it wasn't easy for her to do.

“Listen to Nan, repeated failures will surely make you feel deeply frustrated, but since you have become my apprentice, I will not allow you to give up halfway. Can you do that?” Liu Dayong asked again.

Although Lao Gao had said that Ting Nan was particularly hardworking and persevering, practicing lip reading and vocal techniques was indeed very difficult, and he still wanted to confirm it one more time.

"Master, please supervise me. I will definitely keep practicing until you approve."

"Okay, Master believes in you. You should practice the basics first. Remember to come to me every two weeks."

Ting Nan readily agreed, agreeing to deliver the goods to the five stores in the county town in shifts. Indeed, through Gao Haoran, there were already five consignment shops. Business was doing well, so Ting Nan no longer needed to travel around so much. She had so much to learn; she was like a sponge, diligently absorbing knowledge from all sides.

There's just not enough time; winter break starts in early December. Due to the weather, Zuo Jinyue's parents didn't arrive until December 16th, and surprisingly, her fiancé also came along.

Zuo Jinyue introduced Qian Shuzhen and the others to each other, and while her parents were talking with Song Wanli, she walked to the side and asked, "Why did you come along?"

Zuo Jinyue was also surprised. Her fiancé, Du Hongxue, worked at a bank. Their marriage was arranged by her grandfather, and the two of them did not meet often.

He was very handsome, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and well-defined facial features. He looked aloof when he wasn't smiling, but when he smiled, he made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

His attire was always stylish and appropriate. He usually wore well-tailored suits, but this time he wore something more casual, which added a touch of gentleness. Standing next to Zuo Jinyue, his clear eyes were fixed on her.

"I've come to pick you up and take you home. I was afraid you'd forgotten me," Du Hongxue said directly, though with a hint of grievance.

His voice was deep and magnetic, and it was pleasant to listen to.
