Chapter 10: CH 10

Posted on March 17, 2022by UntamedS

Hearing Lin Yuxun promise to let him stay relieved Cheng Hao.

With a place to live, he could go to school and temporarily settle down.

When he got used to his new body and went to the bar to fight, he would have money in his hands and the future would be better.

Cheng Hao was full of hope for the future, and then his stomach rumbled.

Cheng Hao: “….”

Danny didn’t hear it, but Lin Yuxun did, “Let’s eat. I’ll buy some bread.” He hurried home today and forgot to buy some food!

Cheng Hao quickly replied, “No, there’re sandwiches and milk.”

Lin Yuxun remembered the sandwiches Cheng Hao brought back, but he hesitated: “Are those sandwiches… enough for you?”

“It’s enough.” Cheng Hao had concluded that he had been injured too seriously yesterday. That was why he ate a lot. Now he was much better and could control himself to eat less.

“And tomorrow morning…” Lin Yuxun was still worried.

Cheng Hao quickly replied, “I’ll save some for Danny. We can eat at school.”

This was also possible. Lin Yuxun no longer insisted on buying food.

They had four and a half sausage sandwiches left.

This kind of sandwich was very big. The average adult was full after eating one, so Danny could only eat half of it at noon.

Lin Yuxun gave Cheng Hao three of the remaining sandwiches: “Eat.”

“Two is enough for me.” Lin Yuxun was thin and small, he was at an age of growth. Judging from this morning, he must be able to eat a sandwich now. This evening and tomorrow morning, Danny also needed at least one sandwich, so he could eat two and a half at most.

Thinking it over, he decided to just have two.

What else could Lin Yuxun say, before he could speak, Cheng Hao continued; “If I eat too much, it will disturb my stomach.”

Lin Yuxun finally stopped worrying.

The taste of the sandwich was OK. At least the bread outside was soft, but the sausage in the middle was very thin and very few.

Cheng Hao ate two sandwiches and drank two boxes of milk. His stomach finally felt comfortable. At this time, Lin Yuxun and Danny hadn’t finished yet.

Before Chester ate the sandwiches, he dealt with the sausages first. On the contrary, Lin Yuxun ate the bread outside, but left the sausage in the middle and finally gave it to Danny.

He was about to pick Danny up when Cheng Hao picked him up, put him on his little slippers and stuffed a paper plane into his hand.

Danny had eaten half a sandwich and was full.

Now he had time to play. He forgot the sausage Lin Yuxun wanted to give him and went to play with the paper plane, leaving Lin Yuxun a little overwhelmed with the sausage in his hand.

Not waiting for him to speak, Cheng Hao spoke first, “You’re so thin. You should eat more meat. You’d better eat your sausage.” It was right to leave food for children, but he couldn’t withhold his food for the child to eat well, it would spoil him.

What was more, Lin Yuxun was still young!

Lin Yuxun replied, “I don’t like meat…”

“Didn’t you enjoy eating bacon at noon?” Cheng Hao said, there was a little bacon in the lunch pack today. Lin Yuxun also saved it for last, but he was obviously very happy with it.

Lin Yuxun glanced at Cheng Hao, then he lowered his head and ate a mouthful of sausage.

“I’ll find a job. When I have money, I’ll buy you delicious food.” Both Lin Yuxun and Danny needed to eat more vegetables and fruits. Only in this way could they have balanced nutrition and meat. It was best for them to eat fresh meat instead of sausage and bacon.

Unfortunately, he was too poor now.

“I don’t have to eat good food.” Lin Yuxun replied with that but he looked at Cheng Hao with unconcealed joy.

Cheng Hao smiled at him, went to watch Danny play again, and tried to repair the roller shutter door – it was dinner time, and everyone hadn’t slept yet so the noise wouldn’t disturb others.

But the rolling shutter door wasn’t easy to repair.

While Cheng Hao praised Danny and repaired the door, Lin Yuxun was tidying up the room.

His room was very messy. He used to be very tired when he came home and he normally didn’t have the strength to tidy up, but today he had the strength.

Cheng Hao asked, “Lin Yuxun, don’t you have to do your homework? By the way, why didn’t you take your books when you went to school today?” Today, Lin Yuxun didn’t have any books at school or after school.

Lin Yuxun was stunned, “The teacher didn’t assign homework or books.”

“So that’s it.” The public school education in the United States was really too casual. 

In the past, Lin Yuxun had been a little worried about studying in such a school, but he had gotten used to eat.

If he could, he’d find another school for Lin Yuxun.

Seeing that Cheng Hao didn’t intend to ask more questions, Lin Yuxun was relieved.

However, Cheng Hao didn’t ask much about his school, instead he made a suggestion, “Okay, since you’re free in the evening, learn Chinese with me.”

Although Chinese language wasn’t very useful at this stage, it would certainly be very useful in the future. His country would develop rapidly in the future!

Moreover, Lin Yuxun was still young. It was good for him to learn more!

More importantly, although Lin Yuxun hadn’t received Chinese education, he could speak Chinese so it wouldn’t be too difficult to learn.

“Can you speak Chinese?” Lin Yuxun asked.

“I can.” Cheng Hao replied. He could speak the most authentic Chinese and write simplified characters! He also learned traditional Chinese characters through Cheng Jinhao’s memories!

Well, he saw the latter through memory, which needed to be consolidated before he could fully grasp it.

“How did you… come here?” Lin Yuxun asked, why did a boy who knew Chinese, spoke English well and looked very cultured come here?

“Something happened at home. I’m homeless now.”

Feeling that this was a sad topic, Lin Yuxun was a little uneasy: “You… Don’t be sad, you can live with me.”

“Thank you!” Cheng Hao smiled.

Lin Yuxun lowered his head in embarrassment.

Cheng Hao said he would teach Lin Yuxun Chinese, so he started right away.

Lin Yuxun’s dialect was from the north. His pronunciation was similar to that of Mandarin, but not exactly the same. Cheng Hao spoke to him in Mandarin and corrected his pronunciation. He also wrote down the simplified and traditional characters of “Lin Yuxun” with correct strokes – after he said he wanted to teach Lin Yuxun how to read, Lin Yuxun found a notebook for him.

The notebook was colorful on one side and white on the other. Although there was some dried glue around it, it didn’t affect him writing in the middle with a ballpoint pen.

“The characters’ Lin ‘and’ Yu ‘ is written the same in the simplified and traditional way, but’ Xun ‘is different… But you can focus on simplified characters, everyone should be able to use simplified characters in the future.”

Lin Yuxun had never heard of simplified characters before, but since Cheng Hao said so, he decided to focus on simplified characters in the future.

He just watched Cheng Hao write it once and repeated it.

“You’re so smart!”

When Lin Yuxun used to live with his father, his father never praised him. Later, when he lived with his mother, his mother only scolded him.

Now suddenly being praised for his intelligence, he felt happy. The jealousy he felt when Cheng Hao praised Danny disappeared, and the corners of his mouth curved, revealing a little smile.

It was the first time Cheng Hao saw Lin Yuxun’s smile, “You look good when you smile.”

Lin Yuxun subconsciously retracted his smile. After thinking about it, he showed a bigger smile. It was a big smile, but because it was deliberately made, it seemed a little stiff.

But Cheng Hao still smiled and praised him: “Your teeth is nicely set.”

Lin Yuxun began to think about whether to buy toothpaste and toothbrush. He had saved money to buy it before, but he didn’t care much after his mother died.

Cheng Hao didn’t know what Lin Yuxun was thinking. After praising him, he wrote his name for Lin Yuxun.

Lin Yuxun repeated it again.

Lin Yuxun had seen him write it once and wrote it word by word!

Cheng Hao thought Lin Yuxun was really smart and became more firm in his decision to teach Lin Yuxun.

When he was in primary school, he began to learn pinyin, but now he could type with Pinyin. If he really wanted to read it, he may not be able to read Pinyin accurately. He had almost forgotten the initials and vowels… Cheng Hao thought about it and finally decided not to teach Pinyin first instead he’d directly teach him character recognition.

He didn’t have any teaching materials at hand now. It was only 1980. China and the United States had just established diplomatic relations. He couldn’t buy books in simplified Chinese here, so he just wrote some to teach.

Cheng Hao asked, “do you know “Thinking on the quiet night “? The one with the bright moon.”

“What is that?” Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao curiously.

Cheng Hao recited the poem and then began to write it on the poster.

As a result, while Cheng Hao was writing, Lin Yuxun recited the poem:

There is moonlight shining before my bed,

I suspect that there is frost on the ground,

Raising my head, I gaze at the moonlight,

Lowering my head, I think of my home village.

Cheng Hao: “… Have you heard it before?”

“No.” Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao uneasily. His father could speak Chinese but couldn’t write. 

He could write his own name, because his father found a Chinese who could read and write, and the man wrote it down and his father kept it, so he knew it.

Did Cheng Hao think he knew nothing and was stupid?

“Then you’e a genius!” Cheng Hao said excitedly, although this poem was very short, Lin Yuxun could recite it after listening to it once. His mind was very powerful!

“I’m not very good…”

“Try writing it.” Cheng Hao asked.

Lin Yuxun wrote slowly as Cheng Hao wrote. He hadn’t learned before. The characters weren’t very good-looking, but he wrote them very clearly. There were some small problems in some of the strokes. As soon as Cheng Hao mentioned it, he corrected them.

Cheng Hao waited for him to write it. Suddenly, he asked, “Can you write it by dictation?”

Lin Yuxun was uneasy: “I don’t know…”

“Try it. It doesn’t matter if you’re wrong.” Cheng Hao thought Lin Yuxun was very clever. He might not be able to write the whole poem by dictation, but he would probably get words like, ‘Moonlight’.

Cheng Hao looked at Lin Yuxun expectantly, and then saw that the thin young man wrote down the whole poem word by word.

The only drawback was that… The words were a little ugly.

Lin Yuxun, he was a genius!
