Chapter Seventy-Five: A Little Rush
Wu Shizhu and Zhao Xiujin went to school in the Yan family's car, and Wu Shizhu didn't want to sit there, but he couldn't bear Zhao Xiujin's desire to sit, and he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the Yan family. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info fortunately, the place where Yan Wenyuan went to school was very close to Yan's mansion, and there was no need for a car.
The two went to school, and they were greeted by a gentle young nun, a nun who could only speak a little poor Chinese. Although she doesn't speak much Chinese, you can feel her kindness. Wu Shizhu had studied English in her previous life and had also studied with Qin Wen for two years, so she could understand what the nun was saying, but there were still some problems with communication, but it was enough to surprise Zhao Xiujin and the nun.
This nun's name is Sarah, and she has just come to China, so she doesn't speak much Chinese. She knew that Wu Shizhu was only a junior high school and a girl with no rich people, but she didn't expect to be able to understand herself, this is really a magical country.
Zhao Xiujin didn't understand at all, she didn't know what the nun was talking about, and she could only judge one or two from her small amount of Chinese. What made her even more depressed was that Wu Shizhu, a wild girl, actually knew English, she was really angry with her, she was the eldest lady, okay!
The two were taken into their classrooms. Wu Shizhu's class has about twenty children, all of whom look two or three years older than her. There were even five or six white girls inside.
The head teacher of this class is another older nun who is also in charge of the theology course. She briefly introduced Wu Shizhu to the students in English, and let Wu Shizhu start to introduce herself. Wu Shizhu only gave a brief introduction in English, but the students were very enthusiastic. She was assigned to the first row to facilitate the care of the teachers, because she was a transfer student, I was afraid that she would have difficulties.
Because they were in the first grade, their classes were relatively simple, with only theology and English in the morning, and math and chemistry in the afternoon. are all basic courses, but Wu Shizhu is a little broken, because the curriculum of this school is actually taught in English. Her English has not yet reached the point where she can understand so many technical terms, and at the end of the day, her head hurts a little. Fortunately, she taught two friends.
One is Tan Xuejing, who is her tablemate, an orphan, and her father and mother died when she was four years old. Adopted by the nuns of the school since childhood, she has little courage, only one year older than her. After half a year of school, I don't have any friends, I read books alone, I eat alone, and the whole person is like a sensitive rabbit. She saw that this little table mate was really pitiful, which reminded her of her third sister, so she took the initiative to talk to her.
Tan Xuejing also likes Wu Shizhu very much, here, at the beginning, there were people talking to her, because her English was very good, but she was a little scared and didn't respond immediately, others thought she didn't want to pay attention to people, and over time, no one looked for her anymore. But Wu Shizhu is different, when she talks to her, she is gentle and patient, and she doesn't look down on herself at all, and she knows a lot of things, this is her first friend.
Another friend of Wu Shizhu's wife, named Bonnie, is a mixed-race child, his father is a German diplomat in the Republic of China, and his mother does not mention it, but from her hair color and skin, it can be seen that she should be Asian. In this era, mixed-race children of different colors will still be discriminated against, but Bonnie studies well and has high emotional intelligence, so he is still relatively open among foreign children, but he has no real friends. In this church school, in addition to the necessary communication during class, if there are no special circumstances, Chinese girls and Chinese girls are together, and foreign girls are also hugging each other, and they will not easily communicate across races.
Bonnie didn't plan to have a deep friendship with Wu Shizhu, she sat behind Wu Shizhu and didn't say a word all morning. Until the lunch break, Wu Shizhu took out a copy of Hegel's "The phenomenology of Spirit", and when he was about to rest for a while, he was seen by Tan Xuejing.
"You actually like to read this kind of book, and the nuns don't let you read books related to philosophy, saying that it is blasphemy against God. Once I secretly went to a bookstore outside to look at this type of book, and I couldn't read it, and I was punished by the nun for standing for two hours."
"Well, my enlightenment teacher studied philosophy, so I studied harder."
"I actually have this book, can you show it to me?" Bonnie's voice suddenly came from behind Wu Shizhu and Tan Xuejing, startling the two of them. But it was this fright that made the three of them a lifelong friendship.
After school, Wu Shizhu walked out of the campus and found that the Yan family's car was already waiting at the gate, and Zhao Xiujin didn't know when she got into the car, and when she saw her coming, she shouted: "What are you doing slowly?" Don't come up yet." Wu Shizhu got into the car inexplicably, and before he could sit down, Zhao Xiujin urged the driver to hurry up.
At dinner, Yan Wenyuan asked about Wu Shizhu's school with concern. Wu Shizhu replied that everything was fine, but the teaching method in English was a little difficult, but he also said that it should be better if he got used to it for a while!
Old Man Yan saw that Zhao Xiujin was sullen, so he asked her if she had encountered something unhappy. Zhao Xiujin asked, can she change the school, change to a school similar to the Taiyuan Girls' High School she originally attended, she prefers the atmosphere of that school. But the old man Yan said that her father decided to go to this school, and if she transferred to another school, she would send a telegram to her father to ask for her father's opinion. How dare she ask, coming to Beijing is what she wants to do, and if she says to transfer schools, her father will immediately send someone to pick her up.
......
"Miss, what are you doing here? It's freezing this day, open the window to sleep, you will get a cold", Zhao Xiujin's maid Xiaohe saw that the young lady was actually going to sleep with the window open, she was scared to death, and hurriedly walked over to pay attention to the window.
"Xiaohe, don't worry about it, I just want to get a cold."
"Why is that? Do you want to be Lin Daiyu? But Young Master Yan has class tomorrow, and he can't see you? Don't suffer it."
"What Lin Daiyu, you know a lot. I don't want to go to that school of foreign devils. Xiaohe, you don't know, how terrifying it is, there, most of the teachers are nuns, dressed in black, not smiling, like black widows. What frustrated me the most was that when they gave lectures, they were all in English, and I couldn't understand a word. I didn't understand, so my classmates laughed at me, obviously Chinese, didn't speak Chinese, deliberately showed off English in front of me, and looking at their appearance, they must be saying humiliating words. But I couldn't understand a word, and I couldn't find a reason to scold them. I really don't want to go again. I'd rather be sick in bed for half a month."
