Volume 1 Bath in Fire Chapter 31 Summons the Queen Fan of Life
Chapter 31 The Queen Fan of Summoning Life
"Let's change the topic", An Feng skipped the discussion and changed the topic and said: "What games did you play when you were a child, and who are your playmates?" ”
Speaking of this, Scarlett was a little worried: "My family used to live in Manchester and moved here three years ago, well...... my former playmates stayed in Manchester and ,...... I don't know anyone. ”
Alas, each has its own sorrows.
An Feng jumped off the stool and beckoned, "Let's go buy a map, tell me you've been there?" ”
The map was bought, the sweat on the two of them was dry, and the clothes were no longer cold, An Feng hurriedly took Scarlett's hand and rushed home, at this time Ruona had not yet started to prepare dinner, An Feng led Scarlett into the dollhouse, the two spread a large number of maps on the floor, and Scarlett began to talk about the places she had been.
Children may not be able to express exactly where they have been, and most place names are only a vague concept in Scarlett's mind, so the game becomes "guess what", Scarlett vaguely recalls a few iconic objects, and then the two of them start looking for them on the map with a tourist brochure.
There are many foreigners who have renames their cities, such as "Leeds Castle" and "Leeds City" are not the same thing. Sometimes even the duplicate name is not in the same county, in a country, for example, there is Manchester in the United Kingdom, there is also one in Canada, and there is also a city with the same name in the United States......
This makes it more difficult to make a bet. Scarlett named a place after ...... An Feng actually guessed that place, but he deliberately clumsily chose a city with the same name, described the cityscape in the travel brochure, and then compared it with Scarlett's memories, which increased Scarlett's sense of participation, and when he finally determined the location of the city, Scarlett's sense of accomplishment was even fuller.
Gradually, there were more and more marks on the map, even in Leeds City, Scarlett walked a lot, and when Bartlett's father came home from work, Scarlett looked at the map marked with red circles and exclaimed: "I have walked so many places!" ”
With the map in hand, Scarlett showed her father, "Daddy, I've walked so far. ”
Bartlet's intriguing question: "My angel, do you remember any places?" What do you remember? ”
Scarlett's memories have been combed through, and she immediately talks about the lampposts, neighborhoods, neighborhood children, local specialties, and beautiful scenery in her memory...... The father and daughter talked very angrily, and the good memories made the two forget the time. After Vera's mother entered the door, she curiously visited the father and daughter, but she didn't expect to be immediately attracted by the conversation, so An Feng took care of the dinner.
Nanny Ruona is only responsible for preparing dinner materials and taking care of dinner herself, which was originally the personal performance time of Vera's mother, a cooking enthusiast, but because the memories are too sweet, Vera's mother can't bear to leave, and when Nanny Ruona gets off work, An Feng interjected at the right time: "Why don't I come." ”
Vera's mother was really worried about An Feng's skills, but ...... But she really doesn't want to leave her husband in her memory, the floodgates of memories of the past open, many sweetness, many warmth, many love, recalling the road that the couple have walked together, it is simply a revisit of love, and the sensual Vera feels ...... It's really not okay for everyone to go out to eat, and it won't cost much anyway.
Under this kind of psychology, it doesn't matter what kind of dishes An Feng can make, Vera's mother just hesitated for a moment, and immediately waved her hand to let An Feng play freely......
Psychologically speaking, the kitchen is the most important place in a family. In ancient blind date activities, the in-laws often went to the daughter-in-law's kitchen to take a turn, because the kitchen often reflects the true face of a family - rich and poor; It is diligence and laziness; Whether it is for enjoyment or for everything, the state of the kitchen can be faithfully reflected. And the kitchen of the ancient kings was a tightly guarded place, and it was not a person who absolutely trusted, and was not allowed to step into the kitchen.
On the first day, An Feng only took one day to occupy the other party's kitchen. Although he used a little wrist and played with a dim sum machine, after all, he stood in front of the stove in the kitchen, oh, he was still standing on the bench to stir-fry, during which Vera's mother came to take a look at it uneasily, and was immediately made laugh by An Feng's funny behavior. A villain who can't even reach the stove, standing on the bench with a serious attitude, cooking food with a fried ladle seriously, no matter how you look at it, you feel ...... Lovely.
Vera's mother wanted to help with the handle, An Feng unceremoniously guided Vera's mother to serve the dishes to the table, and then Vera's mother realized that after a while, An Feng had already fried two dishes, and added two cold dishes on the board, and the color matching of those dishes was very good.
Vera's mother loves to cook, but her skills are still a bit behind those of professional chefs. It is also the gap between amateurs and professionals. What does An Feng cook...... An Feng was decent this time, not too prominent and not too bad. This level is about the same as Vera's mother's own level. However, foreigners like to praise people, and if they have a little strength, foreigners will boast to death. So, this meal made An Feng very embarrassed.
"It seems that if Jona can't catch up in the future, our baby Scarlett can count on Brother Kane", Vera's mother raised her fork and pointed at An Feng in admiration.
Ruona is a "half-day nanny" who only works half a day a day - maybe she is still helping out in another house in the morning, but that's not An Feng's concern. According to the agreement between Jona and Vera, if Jona arrives early at noon, then she is responsible for cooking lunch and leaving early in the afternoon. Otherwise, Vera will have to pay overtime. Or if Jona arrives a little late, then she is not responsible for lunch, and dinner must be ready.
Listening to Vera's mother's tone, Ruona's work time is often changed, and the specific time will be coordinated by the two parties the day before. But sometimes Vera's mother wants Jona to arrive early so that she can take care of Scarlett at noon, but Ruona also has her own arrangements, and she can't always satisfy Vera's mother...... Now that there is An Feng, this makes Vera's mother breathe a sigh of relief.
When he got up the next day, An Feng was much more natural. He got out of bed freely, put on his tracksuit, walked out of the house to breathe in the cold air, sat on the open space in front of the door for a few chest expansion movements, and then ran around the neighborhood with ease. With no one to supervise, he is free to look at the surroundings of the community, observe the routes in and out, and keep a close eye on the neighbors.
Back at home, the host dad and the host mom still hadn't woken up they had sworn yesterday to be early, but habit had finally overcome them. An Feng happened to be alone, he moved lightly in the room alone, after browsing the newspaper delivered by the newsboy, and there was still time to light the fire and boil the milk. After he cooked the breakfast for the family of four, the rest woke up one after another.
This breakfast meant that the family had finally accepted An Feng, and they had regarded the child as a complete family member, allowing An Feng to maintain his own habits, and to move freely around the house and choose what he was willing to do. Although this incident is also to help Vera's mother reduce the burden of housework.
An Feng didn't take making breakfast as a trouble and a tiredness, waking up in the morning with good sunshine, thinking about the plan for the day while making breakfast, it was really a pleasing thing to the eye, at this time no one in the family woke up, only he operated alone, which made him full of a sense of control...... Well, he's psychologically dark.
The next days passed like flowing water, An Feng got up every morning to exercise, and within a few days he recognized the diligent people around him, and similarly, everyone in the community knew that there was a new exchange student, running and exercising every day rain or shine and gossip with people, even people who had not seen An Feng had heard of his deeds.
After breakfast, seeing off his parents and sending him away, An Feng will lead Scarlett to the ice rink, the two will skate for a while, go back to the supermarket when they are tired, or some nearby place to have snacks and play, and wait until noon The two walk home hand in hand...... Later, Dad bought a bicycle for each of them, and the range of activities between the two grew larger, even touching the edge of the Indo-Pakistani district of Leeds City.
Days like this go by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's time for school to start. Bartlet's father took a day off from father and son and led Scarlett and An Feng to the school to go through the registration procedures. The British queue was sparse, separated by two people...... Almost a distance from the body of a horse. So the line meandered for a long time. But the speed of movement was fast, and after about half an hour, the registration of the two people was completely completed.
In the ensuing procedure, Scarlett and An Feng were separated. As a local resident, Scarlett only needs to follow the teacher's guidance, get to know her own classroom, her own locker, etc., and it is enough. An Feng, on the other hand, needs to wait for the summons to come over and explain the necessary precautions.
At this time, the church school was a church school, but the teachers were not all priests and grandmothers, and only a few old women among the teachers wore nun clothes. An Feng followed one of the nuns, or Mama, into a small auditorium, where there were already three Chinese classmates, Chen Wenwen was among them, and there was another girl, who seemed to be the same age as An Feng and slightly shorter than An Feng.
Chen Wenwen's body was almost paralyzed on the chair, his legs were crossed to the front seat, and when he saw An Feng appear, he said hello lazily: "You and his x have just arrived, I'll wait for you for a while, okay, let's all be together, call the students, call the students, it's time for you to appear." ”
The grandmother, who was about to leave, stared at Chen Wenwen, and Chen Wenwen stared back defiantly. Mama didn't say a word, and walked out of the auditorium with her head bowed. After a while, a thin and tall female classmate with a ponytail and a neat appearance walked into the auditorium lightly, she glanced at Chen Wenwen's sitting posture, but she didn't mean to correct it, she didn't even frown, looked down for a piece of chalk, turned around and wrote three big characters on the blackboard: "Wu Xiyue." ”
After a pause, the female convener simply explained: "This is my name, and you will know from the pronunciation of this name, I am from Wuxi, and I am now a sixth-grade student at the school, and I will be promoted to seventh-grade this summer." My English name is 'Eunice', which means: happy victory. You can call both names, and I'll say yes.
I am your convener student, and you can come to me if you need to communicate with the school in the future, or if you don't understand anything about the school. Of course, if you don't have a language barrier, you can also go directly to the school, and anyone can open the door of the principal without making an appointment. ”
