Chapter Thirty-Six: Little Douding Plays the Adult Game

According to the practice of exchange students: this group of foreign tourists live in people's homes, and they have to pay for food and tuition, and this money is borne by themselves, which is called "self-funded exchange students", and the state bears the "public-funded exchange students". Of course, the food fee paid by the student may not be enough to reflect the food level of the host family, and it may be more or less.

But a family's willingness to accept strangers as its own family members and let the other person live with them for the sole purpose of letting the people of the two countries understand each other is a kind of love in itself. Love is not infinitely giving, love is boundary, and love should not be a burden. The host family gives love, and you pay for your own food, and rightfully so.

In addition to the cost of food, if there are "other expenses" incurred during the study tour, such as dining out with the host family and traveling together. The reasoning should also be AA system, and you should bear your own expenses. Of course, some host families don't care about this small amount of money, and may bear the cost by the way - but this is not their obligation, and the traveling students who receive this kind of treatment should know "gratitude".

An Feng's original plan was that if the host family went on a trip, he would ask the agency to arrange a "temporary homestay" during the holidays under the pretext that he could not afford the travel expenses, and then he would be free to move. But looking at this posture now, because he gets along too well with Scarlett and his host mother, if he thinks he can't afford the travel expenses, he may ......

An Feng's finger slid across the map, moving down Greece to Turkey and then to Iran. He paused and asked curiously, "Daddy Bartlet, what's going on with the RV?" Have you ever talked about RVs in Carrefour parking lots, is it expensive to rent an RV? ”

Daddy Bartlet thought for a moment and replied, "It's fun to travel in an RV, we can stop and go, but ...... Motorhome travel is tiring, we need to know all the gas stations and supply points along the way, and it will be very difficult for me to alternate with your mom. Also, I don't know about the state of Iran's roads, and I heard about it there...... I heard that women have to wear veils, and it is extremely inconvenient to travel. ”

An Feng looked up with a small face and said with great fascination: "Legend has it that there is a meeting place between Eastern and Western civilizations...... I came from the East, and when I was a child, I wanted to re-take the Silk Road, well, along the Iranian highway to Tehran, and then all the way west to Istanbul in Turkey, and then across the sea to Greece, from Greece to Italy, this route traverses Persian civilization, Greek civilization, Roman civilization, through most of the history of human civilization, if you eventually add Egypt, plus Israel, it will cross the entire history of human civilization. ”

An Feng's plan shocked Bartlet's father, and the host family had also traveled to many places, but they were all free to move around. A purposeful trip plan like this...... An Feng was still there: "Of course, I know that this wish is too grand and too time-consuming. I thought that if I couldn't complete this trip at once, I would do it in sections, going to several places a year until I had completed the entire route map. ”

That is to say: this place outside of the travel plan, An Feng will not spend time and energy on it for the time being, as well as money.

The trip was a grand one, spanning tens of thousands of miles, passing through several different civilizations and dozens of countries. If you really want to drive a motorhome along the way, it is estimated that it will take at least two or three months. Regardless of how much it costs, the important thing is that there is no place to park an RV at the Bartlet's house. His family does not have a garage, and even his two cars are parked on the side of the road.

It is conceivable that if you buy a large RV, even if Bartlet's have the financial resources, there is no room to spare.

It's not practical to rent a caravan in Iran. Since the "revolution" in Iran, the locals have been very repulsive to the West, and women have to wear veils even when travelers have passed. If you accidentally take pictures, you will be interrogated by the religious police, and if you don't get it right, you will be detained, and it is not a place for people to visit safely.

However, Iran shares borders with Iraq and Kuwait, and An Feng deliberately proposed Iran, not for no reason......

Bartlet was groaning, and Scarlett was shocked by the plan and excitedly asked, "Have you done your homework?" What is there to see in Iran? ”

An Feng paused, and sure enough, Bartlet interjected: "Baby, I want to discuss this matter with your mother, how do you plan to arrange your social activities this semester?" ”

Scarlett immediately replied: "The teacher is going to arrange a 20-hour visit to the British Museum, and I am ready to ...... again"

"Go to Vera's mother's nursing home", An Feng quickly interjected: "I want to go to Vera's mother's place of work and do some auxiliary work." I can chat with the elderly, I can push the elderly's wheelchair for a walk, I can also play chess with the elderly, and read the newspaper to them. ”

Vera's mother immediately responded: "That's a good idea, I like it." ”

Scarlett immediately added: "We can also go to the church choir and sing requiems for the priest at the funeral; I can also be a wedding flower girl and help the bride with her dress...... Ah, it turns out that there are a lot of social activities to participate in, and I am afraid that I will not have enough spare time. ”

"Let's arrange a ......, then," said Bartlet, who was pleased to shift the subject, picked up his pen and drew a table on the paper: "There are ten weeks in total for this semester, and three hours a week will be set aside to meet the needs of social activities. If you go to London and visit the British Museum in the morning, you can spend the afternoon in the park and other museums...... What are you interested in? ”

"Drama!" Scarlett raised her hand: "I'm going to the Shakespeare Museum." ”

"Ships!" An Feng was very childish: "I'm going to the Warship Museum, I want to see the sail battleship, and I want to play the pirate ......"

"I like galleons too," Scarlett immediately echoed: "I'm going to play the princess who was robbed by pirates...... And there's more."

Scarlett thought for a moment and added, "Makeup, I want to see how the lady is dressed." ”

"Then go to the Perfume Museum, or the Museum of Medieval Costumes, or both", advises Vera's mother.

Everyone, you say a word, and after a while, the time schedule for social activities is full. Next is the language course, as a British school, Shakespeare is a must-read, plus Byron and other poets and writers...... A whole bunch of reading books are out of the cage. Some reading lists even go beyond the second grade curriculum, but ...... Neither of the two children objected.

The whole lunch time was spent in the discussion of everyone, and everyone came back in the afternoon.

In the Drama Division, you are required to bring your own costumes and cosmetics, and even some props are required to be made by yourself...... Of course, everything is sold in British stores, and some paper props are not expensive, just need the children to glue them together.

One hour after lunch, the new semester lesson plan was finally completed. Scarlett is excited to prepare for tomorrow's class, and she can't wait for tomorrow's school life. However, the first week of primary school students is just learning various etiquette and organizing school bags. Schools should teach students "manners and tidying" during the first week. However, this is not the end of the course, and in the course of the school year, students will learn "manners" and "how to classify and organize things" through various games.

As for An Feng, who is in the second grade of primary school, he has entered the literacy stage......

An Feng put away the extracurricular reading materials he needed...... That's a long list of a dozen books. He stood up and politely asked, "Daddy Bartlet, my fellow countryman may be a little confused about the new course, can I go and instruct him?" ”

Bartlet's father hurriedly got up: "Of course, there is still dinner before ...... Two hours and thirty minutes, is two hours enough? ”

An Feng nodded calmly: "If it's too late, I'll call in advance, but I think I might have dinner at his house." ”

Batlet's dad said as he dressed, "Okay, please come back early, Scarlett might miss you." ”

After a long journey, Bartlet's dad insisted on delivering it to the door—and by the way, he said hello to his new neighbor. This made An Feng unable to slip away halfway, so he had to walk into Huang Yaqing's house accompanied by his father.

Huang Yaqing's new furniture has been moved, a British nanny is cleaning up the room, and Dr. Zhou's own room is downstairs, and his things have been put away. When An Feng entered the door, Dr. Zhou was already lying on his bed reading a book. Huang Yaqing and Chen Wenwen's bedroom was upstairs, and An Feng stood downstairs and saw Huang Yaqing busy in Chen Wenwen's room, helping the latter pack his books and uniforms.

After Bartlet led An Feng into the door, he said hello to Huang Yaqing under An Feng's translation, Huang Yaqing just stood at the staircase on the second floor and said hello, and then asked the other party to forgive him for being busy. After the others left, Huang Yaqing was about to say something, and An Feng cut off the other party's words: "Aunt Huang, the fourth-grade students are not with us, but I asked the fourth-grade teacher, what is the ...... class schedule tomorrow?"

An Feng strode upstairs, walked into Chen Wenwen's room and quickly flipped out the class schedule, and then sorted out the books needed tomorrow, and said quickly: "You need to wear a school uniform tomorrow, and you are not allowed to enter the school if you are not neatly dressed; The school bus stopped in front of my house at half past eight, and of course, it's very close to the school, and you can walk there. The school bus waits for no one, but the school bus is very punctual, and by that o'clock you don't show up, I can assume that you want to walk to school.

Brits go to work at 9 o'clock and leave work at 5 p.m., and school ends at 3 p.m. If you need to take the school bus and you don't understand anything, you can ask me on the bus or on campus. ”

An Feng then turned to Huang Yaqing: "Aunt Huang, I need Doctor Zhou to accompany me...... Purchasing some books, do you have any reference books to bring? ”

Huang Yaqing was a little dazed, she was just about to speak, An Feng immediately said again: "Aunt Huang, don't worry. The primary school curriculum is not difficult, and the level of mathematics learned in primary schools in China is enough to support junior high schools in the UK. Wenwen is a language barrier, but primary school students don't have much vocabulary. So there is no need to be nervous on the first day of class, the teacher is very generous, and even if there is a mistake, he will be considerate. ”

Huang Yaqing's heart settled down suddenly, and for the first time in her heart, a little gratitude and a little touch. Maybe it was the completely unfamiliar environment that made her change her mood, or maybe it was An Feng's strong "marginal awareness" in the past that made her no longer take this help for granted. She hurriedly said, "Thank you!" Just now...... Dr. Chow just told me about the exchange rate, but where did you find out? I just called home and I don't have any news at home? Wenwen's father still thinks it's strange......"

An Feng's expression did not change: "Aunt Huang, it takes time to translate foreign articles in the past, besides...... This matter may not be allowed to spread in China. ”

Huang Yaqing was shocked: "That's right, it's this problem." I can't see through as a kid like you...... It doesn't matter if it's true, we need to buy a few houses anyway. Fengfeng, don't worry, I will arrange your house for you, just in the next two days...... I'll call home right away! ”

In fact, at this time, I am afraid that it is not yet dawn at home, but ...... Huang Yaqing didn't care how to arrange An Feng, he nodded at Dr. Zhou who was standing next to him. The two of them walked quickly out of the house.

When he went out, Dr. Zhou spoke: "Where to buy books?" Books are very expensive, I think you might as well go to the library to borrow books, or buy old books, how about it? ”

An Feng tilted his head and smiled: "I actually want to pull you out...... Well, living here, have you ever thought about commuting to work and buying a car? ”

Dr. Zhou paused for a moment and immediately asked, "I haven't had time yet...... You've checked, cars are expensive here, right? ”

An Feng smiled: "Two thousand pounds, which is more than 20,000 yuan, can buy an old Mercedes-Benz that has been used for five years, or Jaguar, both luxury versions, what do you think?" If you are too expensive you can buy a Japanese car, used Japanese cars are cheap, I know a place ......"

Dr. Zhou stood still: "What do you want to do?" I don't have a driver's license yet? I'm not familiar with Leeds' path. ”

"Let's be straight, Dr. Zhou, I want to go out and meet someone, and the one you know is Argyle. In the meantime, you can also go about your own business, meet again in two hours, and then go home together. As for what you said about not having a driver's license, it's good to say, I know a place that teaches you to drive in a month's package.

As for the unfamiliar road...... I know that there is a kind of 'Global Positioning and Navigation System', which is abbreviated as 'GPS'. It was put into service by the NATO military in 1964 and opened to the civilian sector a decade later...... You can buy a car 'GPS' navigator and it will automatically alert you to the route. ”

Doctor Zhou thought silently for two seconds, then gritted his teeth: "Yes, this is a country where 'bastards buy cars', and without cars, bastards are not as good." I wanted to buy a car for a long time anyway, and now we don't lack money, so we just buy it...... Give me the address. ”

"Get in the car first", An Feng greeted and said, "We have a section of the road together." ”

In the taxi, An Feng first wrote down the address and phone number of the driving training school, and then wrote down the contact number of the person who sold the Mercedes-Benz, and handed it to Dr. Zhou with a smile: "Actually, Dr. Zhou, you don't have to worry, you can wait until you get your driver's license to find a suitable car......"

"It's okay," Dr. Zhou shrugged his shoulders lightly: "It's also luck to meet a car that catches your eye, and if it's at the right price, it's even more luck, I can buy the car first, park it outside the villa gate, even if I can't drive it for the time being, I feel happy to commute to work - having a house and a car, this used to be my dream." ”

An Feng joked: "Did you realize your life dream so quickly, and you have a boring idea for the rest of your life?" ”

"There, I have a lot of dreams, and I still dream that I can win the Nobel Prize," Dr. Chow said, waving his fist, "One day, I want to make all my dreams come true." ”

"Thebestwaytopredictfutureistocreateit." I firmly believe that you will achieve your dreams", An Feng responded prophetically.

The son of a farmer in Pingdingshan, Henan Province, has fulfilled his dream, and so has Dr. Zhou Tao.

After the two broke up, An Feng only let the taxi go on for one block and immediately transferred to another car. After several successive transfers, An Feng finally came to Beicheng District, where he jumped out of the car in front of a supermarket and walked another block to a villa. Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, I pushed the door and entered.

There are two people waiting for him in the villa, one is Attorney Steven and the other is Argyle. When Argyle saw An Feng appear, he immediately flattered him to show a pile of large cardboard boxes under his feet - the cardboard boxes contained a 486 computer with the highest configuration at present, as well as a large number of extracurricular books.

"Yo, Argyle, you did it, you did", this thing was bought by Argyle, but this configuration is rare in the market, it requires a little black market connection, and it takes a little cleverness. An Feng asked Argyll to help with two things, one of which Argyle completed, perhaps this is why Argyle was in a hurry to go to the school to find An Feng.

Argyle isn't stupid, but his speech is a little slurred, and his appearance is silly. But in fact, if you can survive from the battlefield, your intelligence has reached the level of ordinary people, maybe higher than ordinary people.

Steven smiled at the two villains with a teacup, and when An Feng praised Argyll fiercely, Steven quickly interjected: "I don't know why you are so mysterious, the lawyer just meets the client, as for being so secret?" ”

This is necessary, because An Feng doesn't want people to know about his existence, so he pulls Dr. Zhou as a cover, so that if anyone investigates his actions during this time in the future, he will say: "Doctor Zhou testified, I went to collect books." ”

Of course, if you investigate carefully, you will find that Dr. Zhou went to the car dealership and the driving training school during this time...... But who can say that An Feng was not around at that time?

So, theoretically, An Feng is not in this room.

"I'm too young", An Feng shot back with a childish face: "I'm afraid that such a small person will be surprised when playing adult games." ”

Well, that's a good reason.

Sometimes Steven overlooks An Feng's age; Sometimes Steven forgets that An Feng is such a villain, but he has wealth that even adults can't reach; Sometimes Steven ignores the things that the other party has entrusted them with, which are what adults like to do...... Like what:

"You asked to secretly investigate a female flight attendant of a certain flight attendant group of a certain airline, the Chinese pronunciation is 'Han-Zhi-Yan', right, you see, is this person?" Steven handed over a photo, in which Han Zhiyan carried a small and delicate suitcase, with a professional smile, and walked out of the exclusive passage for flight attendants, and several equally beautiful flight attendants around her turned their heads or made phone calls...... In short, the face is not facing the camera.

"That's her," An Feng affirmed.

"We've done the investigation," Steven handed over a stack of documents: "It contains her schedule, her arrival in London, the dormitories they rented in London, her London phone, and her frequently dialed phone numbers...... It's all here. ”

"So......" An Feng took the information and asked in a long voice: "Didn't alarm her, right?" ”

Steven smiled and replied quickly, "She's not a big deal, and her profile isn't confidential...... Rest assured, very clean. ”

In Steven's original life trajectory, at the end of his internship, he offended a person who could not be offended, so he had to flee to the United States to avoid trouble. In the decades that followed, he was careful not to become famous; While looking around for the protection of the underworld. He helped many underworld people, helped them deal with their personal assets, helped them supervise their personal funds, and his integrity won many friends in the underworld, so much so that when he was discovered by his enemies, many people helped to intercede, and finally forced Steven's enemies to let go.

What exactly happened between Steven and the enemy, An Feng didn't know. The inside story didn't get out, but after that incident, Steven's fame rose to prominence, and when someone entrusted him with the care of his personal funds, this guy's fees were already frighteningly high......

It is often said that "the environment creates character", and An Feng does not want to affect Steven's life trajectory too much. At this time, Steven should be immature and has not been entangled too much with the underworld, but ...... At least a small amount of gray area has been touched, otherwise, he would not have poked such a big Louzi in a year.

"Your other two commissions are ...... Well, as a solicitor (actually a trainee solicitor) I lost my word, I shouldn't be so curious, and I shouldn't be judging my clients' hobbies. Everything you need to know about the aircraft charter industry, yacht charters, and private tour guides is here. According to your request, I will try to find Indians and Pakistanis, as well as those who have unclean hands and feet and have bad deeds. ”

An Feng took the information handed by Steven, put it aside without looking at it, and changed the topic and said: "Argyle went to our school today, causing a lot of panic, and I suddenly thought: Argyle's appearance is too special. Can you give him a little facelift and make his appearance less ...... It's memorable. ”

Steven shrugged: "It's easy to do, as long as you're willing to pay, I'll do the rest." ”

An Feng groaned and said, "I also need to find a private detective, a private detective who is trustworthy, not curious, and can accept anonymous commissions...... Well, maybe not a private investigator, is there the kind of freelancer who takes the money and is willing to do anything for the employer. ”

This kind of "freelancer" actually has another name, called "mercenary".

Steven suddenly understood: "What are you going to do?" Robbery of banks...... I'm sorry, I beg your pardon, I'm curious again. ”
