120 offers of appointment from the Far East
Mr. Postman spoke.
There was a sudden silence in the house, and things took a noticeable turn, and the landlord and the patrolman looked at each other.
The postman said very respectfully to Mr. and Mrs. Corey:
"Why don't you check your mailbox? Why don't you go to the gate to see it? ”
Mr. and Mrs. Corey glanced at each other:
"We thought the letter would go straight to the house!"
What do you think the mailbox at the gate does? Amazing couple who don't go out of the door for so many days and stay in the house every day weaving cloth and eating potatoes!
The postman turned to the patrol and explained:
"I think there's enough letters at the door to prove their identity! Check it out! ”
Then he turned to the landlord and said:
"Dear Sir, if you need to get your rent today, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the post office with Mr. and Mrs. Corey!"
Seeing that the postman was serious, everyone decided to follow him to the gate.
The postman opened the mailbox directly at the door, and it was too full, and a large number of letters fell out directly the moment the mailbox was opened.

……
The landlord was stunned by the colorful envelopes of various symbols and signs pouring out of the mailbox, and he asked with some hesitation:
"What kind of science do you study?"
At the mention of professional issues, the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Corey lit up:
"We have just proposed a practical plan for the physiology of chemistry, the study of all kinds of wonderful chemical reactions that occur in the human body, and this newly developed discipline will have a brilliant future and uncover the code of God's creation of man!"
Well, the landlord, of course, did not understand, and he judged with the IQ of an ordinary English gentleman with secondary education, and judged that the weaving couple should not be liars!
Not a liar, but certainly a neurotic with some brain problems. Weaving cloth and eating potatoes every day, I can't even go to the gate to receive letters.
Frankenstein.
The landlord shook his head, thanked the patrolman, and explained to Mr. and Mrs. Corey that they would come back tomorrow to collect the rent, and then took their leave.
The two patrolmen looked at each other. also said goodbye and left.
There was only one postman left, who was very dedicated to helping them put the letters into the room, and taking them to the post office to pick up other letters and handle postal withdrawals.
The husband and wife thanked Mr. Postman and ordered a two-wheeled taxi carriage back to the house, but fortunately they had a lot of letters in their hands. So it is possible to indicate the address of residence to the coachman.
When I returned to the living room at home, I began to open all the letters and check them one by one!
"Honey, we should get out of London, I don't like the weather here!" Mrs. Corey said.
"The Royal Academy of Science and Technology in London is good, it's very suitable for us, you don't hate the weather here, you just heard that the weather here is good, because you leave the work of buying food to me, and never go out to look at the sky!"
"Maybe we should go to Germany. Germany needs us very much right now, we are of German origin, and we must think first of all about our homeland. ”
"But the German real office is always at the service of the factory, and they are too eager to apply the results of their research to industry, which is very bad for us."
Mr. Corey regretfully put aside a letter from the Association for the Promotion of German Industry.
Mrs. Corey opened a letter and set aside a bill of money for travel and living expenses that had been mailed to them by a university.
"Some of the money is in an envelope, so we add up to a lot of money. You can assemble your own real yàn room without thinking about the affairs of the country and the city! ”
Mrs. Corey is a simple person, and her mind would not have thought of accepting an offer of employment. You should return the travel expenses given by others!
"This is a letter from the United States, a philosophical academy said that it wants to sponsor us to set up our own real yàn room, and the president of the United States will personally preside over the opening ceremony of the real yàn room for us!"
Mrs. Corey put her head over and looked at the letter from the United States in her husband's hand, and her face suddenly turned a little red. Her heart beat hard, and she left her desk and walked to the middle of the living room, kneeling beside an old handloom and starting to arrange the cotton threads.
Mr. Corey followed, bent down, and put his arm on her wife's shoulder:
"Okay, that's it, let's go to Washington, D.C., I remember saying somewhere, Lady Mary is also in Washington."
Mrs. Corey looked back with a smile and put her hand on her husband's hand on her shoulder:
"You can take these cloths with you, you can sell them for money, you can give them gifts, I hope they will like it."
Mr. Corey happily moved a pile of fabrics, turned his head, and suddenly noticed that her wife's hands were trembling.
"Oh my God, my dear, we made a big mistake, we haven't eaten today, and your body is going to faint soon."
The blush on Mrs. Corey's face had receded and turned a little pale, and she playfully replied to her husband:
"The lactic acid produced by muscle contraction will synthesize liver glycogen, which is a backup, once the body is too lacking in energy, they will jump out to relieve the siege, blood sugar is from the liver glycogen, so even if you are hungry and unconscious, low blood sugar, there is a chance to wake up."
Mr. Corey went to cook some potatoes and flour, and when the two of them had finished eating, they got better, began to be refreshed, and decided to go to Washington, D.C., to make a big difference.
Mr. and Mrs. Corey, born in Austria, of German descent, are top experts in the field of chemical biology, and their disadvantage is that they have a very strict thinking divergent syndrome, and they must rely on weaving and spinning to rest their brains. In addition, there is the problem of often spending all the money and often forgetting to eat. They published cover letters in scientific journals in Europe.
Letters of appointment flew in from all over the world, and because there was no response for a month, the Royal Academy of Sciences in London came straight to the door.
In Britain after the Industrial Revolution, the artisans who weave homespun cloth may starve to death, and the capitalists who use machines to make large quantities of textiles may go bankrupt, but they will never let go of any scholar who has made achievements in the field of science.
The couple were also not very sociable, and the over-enthusiasm of the Academy of Sciences in London made them embarrassed to refuse, so they began to hesitate between London, England, and Washington, D.C., USA.
At this time, a letter from the Far East was long overdue. An oriental scientist named Mr. Shandong invited them to work in Shanghai.
