Chapter 130 Sheng Shuyi
Sheng Shuyi sat stiff all night, and when she arrived at her destination at dawn, she was not only mentally exhausted, but also physically sore, taking advantage of the fact that her mother Aunt Xu was busy carrying her luggage, and Dr. Field was paying the driver, she quickly dodged and went to another world, and slept directly on the carpet in the living room of the wooden house before hurrying out.

"Is it cold?" I didn't expect it to be so cold in the early morning in London, Sheng Mu asked sideways.
"It's fine. Sheng Shuyi was indeed a little cold, but she had just woken up, and she was in good spirits at this moment, thinking that she was about to enter the house, rummaging through her baggage to find trouble with thick clothes, so she decided to endure it, so she didn't tell her mother the truth.
Although the sky was not yet fully bright at this time, and the surroundings looked gray, it did not prevent Sheng Shuyi, who had excellent eyesight, from looking around curiously. Different from the blue bricks and green tiles, carved beams and paintings, and boxy houses in Beijing, the houses here are not only higher floors, but also mostly pure white and brick red, and the colors are very gorgeous.
The streets are clean and tidy, even the flowers bloom in the small garden with an iron fence on the side of the road, and Dr. Field says that not far from London and the most famous national park in the world is today...... Sheng Shuyi's first impression of this new "home" was not bad.
"Our house is on the top floor, so we have to take the elevator up. Dr. Field saw that his wife, daughter, and Sister Xu were all curious, knowing that they had seen the elevator for the first time, and smiled and introduced them to the use of the elevator.
In fact, European-style buildings were built in Beijing decades ago, and it is not unusual for high-rise buildings with elevators like this. It's just that Sheng Shuyi, because her ex-husband was not at home all the year round, was locked up in the backyard by the Li family as a prisoner, and she was easily not allowed to go out, and she didn't even have basic social interactions, so how could she have the opportunity to contact such an occasion? Sheng Shuyi and Aunt Xu are the same, they have heard people say that they have also seen this thing called "elevator" from the newspaper, but it is the first time they have seen it with their own eyes, and it is also the first time they have taken it in person.
Of course, for Sheng Shuyi, she is indeed very unfamiliar with today's elevators, but she has taken the ultra-modern elevator in the spaceship in another world, but on the surface she keeps pace with her mother and Aunt Xu, but in fact, she is not so surprised in her heart.
Compared to the elevators in the other world, which are almost unbumpy and incredibly fast, the slightly clumsy elevators are much inferior now, not only squeaking when they ascend, but also very slow, and it takes a while to reach the sixth floor.
"Come home!" said Dr. Field, with a rare look of his age, and took off his leather shoes and entered the door cheering.
The three members of the Sheng family were infected by his cheers, and they couldn't help but show a happy smile on their faces. Yes, I have been floating at sea for more than a month, and I finally arrived home!
Like the feeling of the whole row of buildings, the interior decoration also gives people a sense of elegance and opulence. There are several large windows in the living room alone, and the orange light of the first sun is scattered on the dark red floor of the living room through the glass windows. The apartment is a duplex with two floors, and the living room is not too large to be high, and the ceiling looks much higher than that of ordinary houses, giving people a very open and bright feeling.
“…… This terrace with a view is my favourite place, and I borrowed money to buy this apartment. "In fact, this borough is the most famous affluent area in London, and it is not only expensive, but also priceless. It was also Dr. Field's luck that the original owner of the apartment was on the verge of closure due to years of war and poor management, so he decided to sell the house and return the funds. It was at the height of the war, and the situation in Britain was very bad, the odds of victory were not great, and house prices were very depressed. But even then, the price was not affordable for a salaried man like Dr. Field, who borrowed a lot of foreign debt from relatives and friends to buy the apartment. If not, he is a well-known brain surgeon, who is on the rise in his career in London, famous and profitable, so why go all the way to China?
In the final analysis, it is for the money, for the generous remuneration offered by the former prime minister of China. The result was as he expected, Huaxia and his entourage, not only got a generous consultation fee after the successful operation, but also went to several consultations one after another, and the income earned in just a few months was worth the hard work of the previous years. Of course, he felt that the most fortunate thing was that Huaxia and his party met his true daughter, and he, who had never been interested in love, fell in love unexpectedly. Therefore, the day of his return to China has been delayed again and again, from the original half a year to nearly three years now, God has lived up to his pious prayers, and finally blessed him with a smooth return of beauty.
The whole apartment is not too big, and in the eyes of the mother and daughter of the Sheng family and Aunt Xu, who are used to living in the courtyard, it is even as small as a pigeon cage. However, it was the first time to live on such a high floor, and the three of them were very novel, and they didn't feel any discomfort.
The apartment was cleaned regularly, but it was unoccupied for several years, and the white cloth that covered the furniture had fallen a layer of dust, not to mention the floor. Dr. Field suggested that everyone rest first, and then tidy up after recuperating their spirits, but Sheng Mother and Aunt Xu slept all the way, and they were in good spirits at this time, plus the two of them, who had never seen dirty, really couldn't rest in such an environment, so they immediately got busy.
Sheng Shuyi is not a young lady who does not touch the spring water with her fingers, she still knows how to do basic housework and helps tidy up. Dr. Field is from an ordinary family, studying and working all these years are a person, in China because of the language barrier, even the cook was not invited, self-care ability is quite good, do housework is also decent, soon also take off the coat, began to scrub.
Time passed in the room of the four people talking, laughing, and working room, and when Sheng Shuyi came back to his senses, he found that it was already bright outside, and it was drizzling!
Sheng Shuyi ran to the big window and looked into the rain and mist in the distance. The weather in London was unpleasant, but it was much better than she had imagined. She glanced back at the lit fireplace and Dr. Field spinning behind her mother, and thought to herself, this must be a good start, right?
"Books, don't be in a hurry to rest yet, I'll go out and buy breakfast......" Dr. Field's cheerful voice came from the hallway, and he put on his coat and hurried out the door.
Dr. Field was gone, and although the three members of the Sheng family knew that this was not good, they were still secretly relieved.
"Shu'er, do you like it here?" Sheng Mu was able to carefully examine everything in the room without concealment. Intricate carpets, fireplaces, and ornate chandeliers...... Even the dark red wooden floors, everything looks so new.
"I like it!" Sheng Shuyi nodded repeatedly. The conditions in this apartment were much better than she expected, and people should learn to be content.
Aunt Xu was also looking around undisguised at this time, she went to the kitchen she cared about the most, there was no stove, no pots and pans, it looked clean or clean, but she didn't know how to cook.
“…… It should be put into the cupboard, right?" Sheng Shuyi opened the cupboard, and sure enough, a set of cups, dishes, and kitchenware were neatly placed in the cupboard. As for how to cook on the fire, she didn't tell Aunt Xu in detail, because, as a newcomer to a foreign country, she shouldn't know the use of the gas stove.
The bathroom, which was completely different from the bathing room in his hometown, was equally surprising, and the three of them took turns fumbling around in the bathroom to wash up and change into clean clothes, and it took a while for Dr. Field to return with his breakfast in a paper bag.
The first breakfast in London was not on Dr. Field's favourite terrace because of the rain outside, but the four of them, sitting at the table by the fireplace, surrounded by warmth, were all in a particularly happy mood to finally be able to eat food other than fish.
After eating breakfast, Sheng Shuyi was urged by her mother to go back to the room to rest. Her room is on the second floor of the duplex, next to Aunt Xu's room. Because it is on the top floor, the furnishings in the room are arranged with the vaulted ceiling, there are large soft beds, there are scattered bookshelves that occupy an entire wall, there are tables and chairs, and there is a set of small sofas...... The most striking thing is the large skylight on the sloping wall, Sheng Shuyi stands underneath, and can clearly see the rain getting heavier and heavier outside.
came in a hurry, Sheng Shuyi didn't bring too many things on his face, and even his clothes were only three or four bodies that could barely be changed. She didn't feel sleepy at this moment, just sat on the small sofa by the skylight, half-lying and staring at the rain in a daze. It's just that the room where the fireplace passed was so warm that she fell asleep before she knew it.
A few moments later, there was a knock at the door. There was no response twice in a row, and the door was gently pushed open.
Aunt Xu looked into the house, and saw that the little girl was half lying on the sofa with her head tilted and falling asleep, so she smiled helplessly, stepped forward with light steps, and carefully carried the little girl to the bed.
There were no quilts on the bed, only slightly thicker blankets. Fortunately, because the fireplace passed by the upper half of the house, the room was very warm, and the blanket was enough to keep warm.
Downstairs, Sheng Xiyu sat at the dresser, absentmindedly combing her long hair that was almost dry. Soon after, she heard the door open and close, followed by the sound of a lock, and her hand combing her hair stiffened slightly.
The footsteps were getting closer, closer and closer, and a hand was placed on her shoulder to the beat of the beating of the drum. As if to test her reaction, seeing that she did not explicitly refuse, the warm, dry hand reached down the neckline into the hem of her dress......
"I love you......"
Sheng Xiyu closed her eyes. Her belief in love has long been exhausted in the torment of the Li Mansion day after day. But she was still touched by Field's efforts. That's it, whether it's guilt or something else, she doesn't hate him, and she has married him, if he wants, give it to him...... (To be continued.) )
