As soon as Lin Youde finished dressing, his daughter found that her father was gone, and she woke up suddenly, opened her mouth when she opened her eyes, and closed her mouth when she saw that her father was next to her.

In this way, the idea of leaving the little one at home did not work, and Lin Youde could only take the little one on the plane.

It was Nia's first time on a plane, and she was lying on her stomach next to the porthole as she took off, screaming at the lights of Sanssouci below. But soon the plane climbed to a relatively high place, and Germany in this era has not yet developed to the extent that there are lights everywhere, and many families in the countryside still use kerosene lamps and even candles.

The lack of anything new from the porthole made the little one's interest drop at an alarming rate, and soon she began to yawn, and finally fifteen minutes after the plane took off, Nia once again began to fall asleep on her father's arm.

Lin Youde also yawned here, the fox patted him on the shoulder, and then patted his thigh, and said to Lin Youde: "Use my thighs to squint." ”

Lin Youde thought about it, and suddenly had an idea, he patted the fox on the shoulder, then stood up hunched, holding his daughter in one hand, and switching the fox's seat to semi-reclining mode with the other hand - there is a model in the Junkers 1 that is specially designed to sell people to the children of the nobility who come with stupid money and speed, and the seat can be placed semi-recumbent like the air-conditioned business bus that Lin Youde often sits in in another time and space.

"What?" The fox looked at her husband with some curiosity, "Do you want to ...... here, dear?"

"You're thinking too much, Lust Fox." As he spoke, Lin Youde pulled the fox's knees to both sides with his hands, then turned around and sat down between the fox's thighs, leaning back against the fox, his head just resting on her chest.

Lin Youde put Nia on his stomach, put his hands around the girl's neck and held it steady, and then moved his head, so that the back of his head was just embedded in the ravine of the fox.

"Awesome," he said, "I'll sleep for a while, and I'll wait until you call me." ”

The fox stared at Lin Youde's Heavenly Spirit Gai with wide eyes, and she shook her head after a few seconds.

"You, I really can't help you."

"I'm a man who believes in the principle of making the best use of things." Lin Youde shook his head and squeezed the fox's chest with his ears and the back of his head, "And I don't think you hate this either." ”

"I really don't hate it," the fox admits frankly, "it's better to say that Viola and Sissi have been so positive lately, and I'm so stressed......"

Lin Youde heard the voice of Sissi in the back seat, which sounded like she had choked on drinking water.

The fox completely ignored the commotion in the back seat and continued: "After all, my selling point is to drop the festival anytime and anywhere, and if I don't even have this only selling point, I will be wronged to pretend to be a dog!" Barking! ”

"Didn't you pretend to be before?" Lin Youde asked rhetorically.

"Oh, yes. Aha, after giving birth to a child, I seem to have the illusion that I am a human being. ”

Lin Youde smiled and raised his head and patted the fox's chest.

"Speaking of which, you're pretty good at using words like discipline." Lin Youde just closed his eyes and wanted to close his eyes to recuperate, but when he remembered this stubble, he said to the fox.

"Because the words you brought are interesting."

At this time, Sissi in the back seat asked, "What exactly is 'JIECAO'?" ”

"This is one of the many words in Chinese that can only be understood and cannot be spoken." As soon as Lin Youde spoke, the fox snickered quietly, so Lin Youde pinched her and slapped her thigh, and the fox immediately shouted, "It hurts so much that my mouth is closed, next time you want to insert it, you have to break it", so Lin Youde gave her a more ruthless blow, and she immediately shut up.

Lin Youde continued to say to Sissi: "In Chinese, many times the meaning is very vague, and at the same time, there are many times when the meaning is very precise. For example, there are only three common words for the meaning of 'quiet' in German, and no matter what the situation, as long as there is no sound, these three are enough, in fact, most Germans only use one of them, and the others are obscure for Germans. ”

"You are not right," said Sissi, "that most Germans use only one word because the others are dialects and slang, and there are many variations of the German language in places like Bohemia, and although the written text has been completely unified through the efforts of linguists, the pronunciation has been preserved in the traditions of various places." ”

"Well, thanks for the addition." Lin Youde shrugged, he is not a linguist, he doesn't know much about these things, and now he can speak so many languages purely because of his plug-in, "We continue to speak Chinese, in Chinese, there are hundreds of words that mean quiet. ”

"It can't be!" Sissi immediately objected, "Maybe Chinese does have many words that can mean quiet, but there are too many hundreds, the purpose of language is communication, and such a huge vocabulary will affect communication." ”

"So most Chinese also only use some words to mean quiet," at this time the fox took Lin Youde's words, "such as silence, quiet and other two-syllable words, but more educated people will use more complex words to accurately describe this 'quiet' state." ”

"Yes, Chinese is the most accurate language in this world, although many times this precise expression is meaningless to the public." Lin Youde paused, "And the Western language, although not as exquisite as Chinese, is completely sufficient for daily use." Moreover, the Western language is easier to learn than Chinese, because the vocabulary is too small, and there is not so many varied sentence patterns, taking English as an example, you can boast of being very literate if you master several main clause forms.

"But Chinese is different, only between those who can read and write, and those who have initially mastered the language, there is an interval of six to eight years of education, and the initial mastery of literacy may require more than ten years of education and self-cultivation."

Lin Youde heard the sound of Sissi gasping.

"It's incredible, and there must be a big problem with such a complex language in terms of popularization."

"No, it's not as big as you think, after all, the working people only need to master the most basic functions of the language, and they don't need either oratory or flashy literary brilliance. However, Chinese does have a huge problem in popularization, and the reason for the problem is the script we use. ”

Lin Youde said and patted his wife's wave: "You write the words 'melancholy Taiwanese turtle' to Sissi." ”

"Oh." The fox agreed and took the pen and paper from the side, but as soon as she wrote a few times, she threw the pen and paper to Lin Youde, and said unhappily, "You come and write!" ”

Lin Youde said where would I write the traditional Chinese "melancholy Taiwanese turtle", he had no choice but to pray that his plug-in would work in the language of his club, and then he began to write.

The result was written out without a hitch.

He handed the paper to Sissi.

"This ...... Before, my teacher laughed at you when he talked about the literacy rate of the Ming Empire, and now it seems that you are really amazing. ”

"In fact, we've been trying to simplify the font for a long time, and it's not enough that in the eyes of people in other countries, our script is still the most complex in the world. As long as you know the basic letters, the rest only need to memorize the spelling, and many words can also make up the spelling without leaving ten, Chinese is different, you have to remember every word. ”

Qian Qian didn't speak for a long time, and was silent for a long time before she held back a sentence: "It must be difficult for the Ming Empire to popularize education. ”

This is true, but Lin Youde knew that in another time and space, China successfully completed the grand plan of education for all, which his university sociology tutor called "a miracle in human history": "Western countries achieved universal basic education on the basis of a large amount of plundered wealth, but the total population of the West at that time was only half of China's".

It is precisely because of the population of 1.4 billion people who have received basic education that China in that time and space began to enter the era of technological explosion, and science and technology advanced by leaps and bounds.

Lin Youde shook his head, drove away the "nostalgia" that suddenly appeared, and returned to the current topic - and then he found that he had completely forgotten what the original topic was.

"Uh, what were we talking about?" Lin Youde asked the fox.

"Melancholy Taiwanese tortoise." The fox replied.

Lin Youde pushed her chest: "Don't make trouble, what's going on?" ”

"Discipline."

"Oh yes, festival, this word embodies the other side of Chinese." Lin Youde wanted to look back at Sissi, but was blocked by his wife's wave and had to give up, "There are many expressions in Chinese that have very vague meanings, and it completely depends on the context used." Some expressions seem to mean diametrically opposed meanings, but they are actually a meaning, while others can be used anywhere. Discipline, which has a very broad meaning and can be used in many very different contexts......"

At this time, the pilot pushed open the door of the cockpit in front of him and poked his head out to look at Lin Youde and his party.

"We're almost there."

"So fast?" Lin Youde was a little surprised, "I don't feel like I have said a few words yet." ”

"After all, it's just going to hamburg." The fox patted Lin Youde on the shoulder, "Since it's almost here, we should discuss something serious, how are we going to approach that girl later?" Judging from the report, she is simply a fish, a fish that can go ashore. Now she is staying at the beach, and if it is alarmed, it will run away and none of us can stop it. ”

Lin Youde pursed his lips.

"You must have a way, otherwise you wouldn't have put off talking about it until now."

"It's my husband, you really know me."

At this time, the pilot's report voice came from the cabin: "I see the light signal on the ground, and I am entering the scheduled route." ”

"Ground light signals?" Lin Youde was surprised, his whole person was picked up like a chicken by a fox.

After the report of "reaching the best throwing area" came from the cabin, the fox kicked open the cabin door and threw Lin Youde down amid Sissi's screams.

The moment her dad flew out of the cabin, Nia opened her eyes, she grasped the situation with amazing speed, and then screamed and broke free from the fox's hand and jumped out of the cabin.
