In Lu Ye's mind, this wasn't about treating Violet as a tool... well, he did have that thought.

He was in charge of the house design, while Violet was in charge of chopping wood.

As a champion of gender equality, Lu Ye advocates for "using talent according to its own abilities."

Why can't women cut down trees?

If you take on all the dirty and hard work yourself, that's a form of oppression against women!

Therefore, Lu Ye decided to...

Um, to whom?

There's no one else on this island.

After a moment's thought, he found a partner.

That's right, to the heavens!

I want to prove to the heavens that women can hold up half the sky!

what?

You're saying Violet did all the physical labor, so what am I supposed to do?

Of course, you should touch it; just touch it forcefully.

Sitting on the beach, fishing and sunbathing, occasionally enjoying a bite of smoked lamb and a sip of coconut juice.

Lu Ye felt that this kind of life was not bad.

There's a joke that goes like this: A rich man looked at a fisherman sunbathing on the beach and said, "You have to work hard at fishing to make money."

The fisherman said, "So what if I make money?" The rich man replied, "If you make money, you can go on a beach vacation like me and comfortably sunbathe on the sand."

But the fisherman said he was already sunbathing.

Lu Ye had a cynical air about him, much like that fisherman.

Not necessarily very Confucian.

But the dog is definitely very dog-like.

He felt that he had achieved a goal that many people could not.

Aren't people in today's society all busy and working hard to make a living?

Working themselves to the bone and putting in extra hours, they finally earn enough money to go on vacation, but by then, many of them may have already passed the prime of their lives.

But I'm different; I'm so young, yet I'm already vacationing on an island.

Although far from crowds.

Stay away from your parents.

Stay away from your friends.

Stay away from mobile phones and computers.

Stay away from Wi-Fi.

Stay away from anime and games.

Stay away from all kinds of delicious food...

As she thought about it, tears welled up in Lu Ye's eyes.

It's so frustrating. If I've done something wrong, please let the law punish me instead of sending me to this island.

It's only been two days, and I'm already homesick.

I miss my mom and dad, I miss video games, I miss steamed duck feet, braised lion's head meatballs, roast goose, roast suckling pig, braised pigeon, honey-glazed char siu, crispy roast pork, and lobster in broth...

I ate this just three days ago, but I might not be able to eat it again...

Suddenly, a cool and soft touch came from my face.

That's Violet.

She lightly touched the corner of Lu Ye's eye with her fair fingertips, moistening it slightly.

She didn't know what "tears" were.

For her, Lu Ye was a mirror.

Therefore, she was curious about everything Lu Ye did; it's human nature.

Violet is not without emotions, but years of lack of nurturing and education, coupled with almost no social relationships, have shaped her into who she is today.

Like a newborn baby, pure as a blank sheet of paper, unaware of fear.

Ignorant, but good at fighting.

Perhaps it was the saltiness of her tears that reminded Violet of scallion pancakes, since apart from seawater, nothing on the island was salty, including bear meat.

So before Lu Ye could recover, he heard the "coo coo coo" sound again.

Hmm, we need to add a little bit; it'll still be edible.

Lu Ye then fed Violet a small piece of biscuit and gave her some water, which should provide enough to make her feel full.

After breakfast, we can't let the rest of the time go to waste.

Lu Ye took out "Super Simple Quick Chinese Learning Book".

Starting today, he will teach Violet a language.

After flipping through the book, Lu Ye found it to be indeed simple.

Although many foreigners say that Chinese is difficult, its grammar is indeed quite simple, and one can even speak it haphazardly.

Past tense, future tense?

nonexistent!

There are no objective or nominative cases; just say the person or thing you're referring to!

plural?

nonexistent!

Just say as much as you can!

preposition?

nonexistent!

He, she, and it—although the characters are different, they all have the same pronunciation!

Even if you don't understand the sentence structure, as long as you can hear the words, you can usually understand the general meaning.

For example, Shandong reverse loading, you can understand, right, brothers?

It's just that dialects, idioms, proverbs, and reading comprehension are more difficult to handle.

But if you're talking about classical Chinese... then Lu Ye really can't do it.

As a poor student, he didn't even understand classical Chinese himself!

But these are not things that Lu Ye needs to consider right now. His current goal is simply to get Violet to have a simple conversation with him.

This book, "Super Simple Quick Chinese Learning Book," is practically tailor-made for Lu Ye.

It contains thousands of commonly used characters, making it easy for beginners to understand the meaning, and the grammar is explained very clearly.

Even the noble African "gorillas" can learn it!

Lu Ye's confidence soared.

Robinson Crusoe was able to teach Friday to speak English in a year! I, Lu Ye, will teach Violet to speak simple Chinese in a month... no problem.

Chapter 7 What defines a professional swimming coach?

Four days have passed.

Violet's progress in learning Chinese was slower than Lu Ye had imagined.

Violet may be a little slow-witted, but she's not stupid.

The main reason lies in this—the mother tongue.

A person usually has a "mother tongue," which is the language they are exposed to from birth.

But once someone knows one language, learning other languages ​​becomes much easier; at least they can understand translation.

Violet doesn't speak any language.

In other words, Lu Ye is currently teaching a "baby" to pronounce words and recognize characters.

Every time Lu Ye teaches a character or word, he has to spend time and effort explaining its meaning.

For example, "water," "flowers," "people," and so on...

In that case, you definitely won't be able to learn a language in a month, let alone have simple conversations.

Fortunately, although progress was slow, Violet's learning process did not stall.

Whether it was because she was too intelligent or because the books she bought from the mall had some kind of magical effect, the learning process went very smoothly.

She was gradually absorbing the language knowledge that Lu Ye was teaching her.

-------------------------------------

The plan of the day is in the morning.

After finishing his studies for the day, Lu Ye took Violet hunting.

That's right, it's hunting.

Although he usually stays at home and never goes out, he can even cut his finger while cutting a cucumber, but Lu Ye wants to go hunting.

He really wants to eat meat!

Although with Violet's skills, killing a goat or something wouldn't be a problem.

However... she can't understand what people are saying yet.
