Chapter 889 Shooting Oneself in the Foot
The five half-grown children at another table were still discussing what happened when they played with the other six people today while eating. They didn't pay attention to what the elders were saying, but the sudden silence made them shudder.
When the five half-grown children looked at the elders' table with doubtful eyes, they just heard Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Hou, and Grandpa Li talking to Han Li.
Old Zhang: "Han Li, do you plan to go out and play tomorrow?"
"No, I plan to have a good rest for two days, what's wrong?"
Old Zhang: "It's like this, if you don't plan to go out and play, can you guide our Hailin and Xiaoling'er?"
Old Hou: "Yes, and our Huidong and Liru."
Old Li: "If you have time, let Yunzhi learn something from you."
Han Li was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He just wanted to make the holidays of these half-grown children a little trouble, and never thought of causing trouble for himself, so he waved his hand and said.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Hou, Mr. Li, the foreign languages I know are basically equivalent to the knowledge of college students. It's okay to teach them pronunciation and vocabulary, but forget about teaching. I don't know what Hailin and the others have learned from their textbooks. Will it be counterproductive to disrupt their courses?"
Although Han Li only said this, the old people didn't intend to give up. In their opinion, it didn't matter whether their children could learn foreign languages or not, as long as they could learn the enthusiasm for learning from Han Li. Mr. Zhang said directly with a big wave of his hand.
"It doesn't matter, as long as they can learn something from you."
Mr. Hou: "That's right, if they are not good at foreign languages, you can teach them musical instruments. Anyway, don't let them just play this summer vacation."
Mr. Li's son may go to Shanghai to work in the second half of the year. He originally wanted to ask Han Li to teach Li Yunzhi some Wu dialect, but no one else made a direct request, so he was embarrassed to say it. Then he thought about it again. If several children learn together, Han Li would probably be too busy, so he said it with everyone else.
"Well, the main thing is to make them stop playing all day. If they keep running like crazy, they will be tanned." Han Li felt like he had shot himself in the foot when he heard this, but it would be too unkind if he didn't agree to it. But just as he was about to speak, Old Liu smiled and spoke up. "Hey, hey, you can't let Han Li help you for nothing, right? You have to talk about the reward first? If it's appropriate, I'll agree on his behalf." At this time, Old Guan also joined in the fun, and he said casually. "Han Li seems to have everything he needs, but he's getting married at the end of the year, and the hotel hasn't been decided yet. Aren't you nominally in the General Logistics Department, Lao Zhang? How about you help arrange a hall at the Jing* Hotel on West Chang'an Street for Han Li's wedding?"
"Lao Guan, you're making things difficult for me. It's not a big deal if I take Han Li to that place to have a meal and stay for a few days, but there has never been a precedent for holding a wedding banquet. I don't think we can apply for it together."
"Then you can't just do something for nothing and let Han Li work for nothing, right?"
Then the old kids started arguing, some talking about this hotel, some talking about that hotel, and some talking about that. Seeing this, Han Li quickly interrupted their argument, and after saying some thanks and polite words, he promised to help Hailin, Huidong and others with their homework or cultivate some hobbies.
At this time, Zhang Hailin, Zhang Ling, Hou Huidong, Hou Liru, Li Yunzhi and others were dumbfounded.
Refute? They really didn't dare to refute the arrangements of the old men.
The generations are really close, but they will fight for real, because these old men are from the military, and they fight much more fiercely than their parents.
So, this matter was settled, but Han Li stopped Zhang Hailin and others after the dinner and said.
"You heard it just now. I have to tutor you during my leisurely and comfortable vacation, but I am not a serious teacher, so I will give you a chance to choose. Think about what you want to learn from me in the evening. If not, we can change."
At this time, Zhang Hailin and others had no choice even if they were unwilling. Fortunately, Han Li gave them the opportunity to choose what to learn, which reduced their original reluctance a lot. Zhang Hailin asked a little embarrassedly.
"Brother Han, we didn't pay attention to what your table said just now. What should we choose according to?"
"Well, for calligraphy, I can teach you two types of fonts, regular script and running script. For foreign languages, I can teach you English, Russian, German, French, Mongolian, Burmese, and Little Red Dot.
For our country's dialects, I can teach you Cantonese, Wu, Manchu, Uyghur, and Chaoshan.
For musical instruments, I can teach you pipa, 'Xun', accordion, and guitar, but these are some basic things. They are too profound and I haven't figured them out yet.
If you choose to learn a dialect, you can learn it hard. If you learn a foreign language, bring the corresponding textbooks and tutorials.
Learning musical instruments also requires you to bring your own instruments. If you learn 'Xun', you need to bring two copies. I don't want to blow the same 'Xun' with someone else.
"Also, I won't teach Xingyiquan without Master's permission. I guess none of you are willing to suffer this, so don't choose this."
After Han Li finished speaking, the half-grown children in front of him were stunned again. They knew that Han Li knew a lot, but they didn't expect that he knew so many. For a moment, they didn't know what to choose.
Han Li would not wait for them to choose here. After speaking, he waited for a while and waved his hand.
"There is no rush for this matter. You can think about it slowly. It won't be too late to tell me after we meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. If it really doesn't work, you can still change it. There is no need to look so sad."
After Han Li finished speaking, he let them go home. After watching them walk away accompanied by the guards, Han Li returned to the house.
At this time, Old Liu was sitting in the living room. Han Li made two cups of tea and sat next to him to chat.
Old Liu said that this time it was a matter of incense. Although it was not serious, no matter what happened in the future, Old Zhang and others would have an excuse to help Han Li.
Han Li nodded repeatedly after listening to them, and the two talked about many things before going back to sleep.
The next day, Han Li started to study with Zhang Hailin and his friends for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. If he didn't want to teach them, he would take them out to play, and he also looked for inspiration.
