Professor Wen brought several children to the scenic area.
"Now your foreign language skills can come in handy. Many foreigners come here but don't understand our language. They need someone to introduce our culture to them, and they'll give tips. If you give wonderful introductions, the tips will be quite generous."
Li Wu could hardly believe what his grandma said. Could they really do this?
"Of course, before that, grandma will first take you to get familiar with the process. If you have any questions or forget something, you can always ask me."
Professor Wen started to guide the children through the whole process from buying tickets in both Chinese and a foreign language. Li Wen and Wang Xing listened very attentively. During this time, because of Professor Wen's fluent foreign language, some foreigners came over.
Professor Wen asked the children to greet these foreigners generously and guided them to have conversations.
Before long, Li Wen and Wang Xing gradually caught up with the conversations and relaxed. It seemed that it wasn't that difficult after all. With Professor Wen's help in filling in the professional words they didn't know, the two children quickly adapted.
While the group was communicating, suddenly there was a splash, and a small figure rushed out.
"Li Wu!"
Professor Wen's face turned deathly pale when she saw Li Wu jump into the water without hesitation.
Hu Zhenghao chased after him closely.
"Save my child!"
A woman cried out, sitting on a pedal - powered sightseeing boat on the lake.
In the water, a two - or three - year - old child was struggling. Li Wu swam over extremely fast and grabbed the child who was about to sink.
But the child flailed his hands and feet and tried to climb onto Li Wu, causing Li Wu to sink a bit.
"Li Wu, let go!"
Hu Zhenghao shouted. Li Wu instinctively let go. Hu Zhenghao grabbed the back of the child's clothes from behind and swam towards the shore with the child.
The woman on the boat quickly pedaled the boat towards the shore.
Li Wu quickly caught up with Hu Zhenghao and climbed onto the shore by himself.
Some people here had already helped pull the drowning child onto the shore.
Hu Zhenghao turned around and pulled Li Wu up. Both of them were soaking wet, but there was applause around them.
"These two kids are really amazing. Their adults have taught them well."
Li Wu felt a bit embarrassed when he heard the praise from around.
"Zhenghao, Li Wu, come here. I'm sorry the children are all wet. I have to take them to change their clothes."
Professor Wen stepped forward. Hearing this, Hu Zhenghao quickly pulled Li Wu over, and Li Wen and Wang Xing also followed. Professor Wen quickly bought clothes for the two of them and changed their wet clothes.
"Li Wu, come here. Grandma wants to talk to you."
Professor Wen looked very serious. It was the first time Li Wu had seen his grandma like this. He was a bit scared, but he still walked up obediently.
"Li Wu, it's a good thing to do something brave and help others. Grandma knows you're a good boy. But you're still too young. Do you know how dangerous it was just now?"
Professor Wen looked at Li Wu and could see the child's fear, but she still had to say what needed to be said.
Hu Zhenghao was wringing the water out of the wet clothes and putting them in a bag beside. He was also scared just now and knew that grandma must have something to say.
"Do you know how dangerous Li Wu's action was just now?"
Professor Wen then looked at the other two children.
"Brother almost got pulled into the water, and there were many adults around."
Li Wen said.
"There are also oars under the boats on the lake. It would be very dangerous if he got caught in them."
Wang Xing added.
"Yes, Li Wu, you're still young. There were so many adults around at that time, and there were also many hidden dangers. A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. When encountering such a situation, you should first ask adults for help. If there are really no adults around, you should think of a safer way instead of ignoring your own safety."
Professor Wen patiently explained to Li Wu, and Li Wu nodded.
Professor Wen stroked Li Wu's head. The child had good character, but he was a bit too reckless. However, it was just youthful enthusiasm and a pure child's heart.
"However, you did a good thing, and grandma will still reward you. Later, grandma will find you a copybook. You're not very good at writing, so practice more."
Li Wu was looking forward to the reward at first, but now he felt that he actually didn't really need it.
"Grandma, I don't think I did well. Maybe I don't need the reward?"
Li Wu tentatively said, and then lowered his head obediently after meeting Professor Wen's gaze.
Hu Zhenghao and the others turned their heads and snickered.
"Something unexpected happened today, and it's getting late. We can't do the little money - making task. If we go back too late, your grandma will be worried. Well, later grandma will take you to see silver combs. Grandma will lend you the money first. You can earn money to pay me back on weekends and during the winter and summer vacations. You can't delay your studies."
Professor Wen looked at her watch.
"Thank you, grandma!"
Li Wen and Li Wu were very happy.
"Don't thank me in a hurry. During this period, you should think more about what questions the tourists might ask and how you should explain things to them and solve their problems. You can come to ask grandma anytime if you don't understand. Next time when grandma brings you here, I'll just watch from the side."
Professor Wen reminded them.
"Definitely!"
Li Wen promised.
"However, you're preparing gifts for your grandma, and I'm taking you to make money. Shouldn't you treat me equally?"
Professor Wen joked.
"Then when is your birthday, grandma?"
Li Wu immediately asked.
"I know!"
Hu Zhenghao immediately said.
"Okay, then grandma is waiting for you to prepare a surprise for me."
"I also know mom's birthday. I'll prepare surprises for grandma, grandma, mom."
Li Wu counted on his fingers.
"And aunt!"
Li Wen helped to count the fourth finger for Li Wu.
"Well, that's enough. If there are more, I won't be able to eat ice cream."
Li Wu thought about it. It would cost a lot of money.
Professor Wen couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
Well, it's good that the men in the family don't know that the kids didn't even think about preparing gifts for them at all. Otherwise, they would be jealous.
"Grandma, can you help us keep it?"
The twins stared at Professor Wen with big blinking eyes.
"No problem. Then we'll give your grandma a surprise together."
Professor Wen happily joined the children's little secret. Everyone discussed together how they would celebrate Yang Yufen's birthday.
"I didn't expect that besides gifts, you've made so many preparations and plans. It's really great!"
Although it wasn't her birthday, Professor Wen felt as if she had been surprised when listening to the children's arrangements.
"Then grandma is a partner with you who shares a common secret. Next time, grandma will help you distract your mom and the others."
"Wow! Grandma, you're so nice!"
Li Wu excitedly hugged Professor Wen's leg and was very affectionate.
