Chapter 15 The Road to the Future, How to Walk

Once most women start to have a sense of family, they become extraordinarily gentle and considerate, as well as caring for their families. Dr. Chow was leaving with a tender feeling, he had some other ideas, he thought his original idea was unrealistic, and he was ready to bow to reality. At this time, he was also tightly bound by soft silk. Just now, at the moment when the plane took off, he began to miss it, missing Liu Jiaqi's gentleness, missing her love, and her love.

The psychiatrist is good at dissecting others and is also good at dissecting himself, Dr. Zhou looked melancholy and admitted calmly: "Yes, I miss her." I heard that the foreigner allowed his wife to accompany him to study, and I wanted to go back to Jiaqi to go through the 'accompanying study' procedures. I just don't know the school situation and don't know what procedures are required. Alas...... I'll find out. ”

Huang Yaqing's face stiffened-she hated Dr. Zhou a lot. Originally, she just wanted to take Dr. Zhou abroad, but who would have thought that Dr. Zhou would pull An Feng ...... Well, pull up An Feng, and in general take advantage of yourself. But now I want to pull Liu Jiaqi again...... Is there an end?!

Huang Yaqing didn't expect that Dr. Zhou's words didn't mean to beg her, even if it was An Feng's study tour procedures, she was just pulling a line. But...... Huang Yaqing also has the right to think that An Feng went abroad to study because of her help, and if she doesn't stop it, she is helping, because she has enough power and ability to make An Feng unable to go abroad.

After a while, Huang Yaqing thought again: The business travel visa he got can only stay in the UK for half a year, and he must return to China to go through the entry procedures again after half a year, who will take care of the children during this period? Dr. Zhou is a big man and An Feng is a child, who takes care of whom? Well, what if you hire a nanny locally and your child doesn't speak the other person's language?

And maybe that's a good thing!

After Dr. Zhou took half a year to get acquainted with the environment, his wife went through the accompanying procedures, and just happened to pick himself up. When the time comes, will having a professional escort woman be equivalent to hiring a native nanny? And listening to Dr. Zhou, he has to ** bear his wife's expenses...... In that case, she won't spend much money.

"That's right, I'll leave in half a year, and the room is just vacant for you two to live in. Doctor Zhou, don't be polite to me, when the time comes, my child will be counting on you", Huang Yaqing hurriedly continued.

Now it was Dr. Zhou's turn, and his face changed.

After a moment of silence, Dr. Zhou sneered: "This, don't bother Sister Huang, Jiaqi also plans to learn something after she comes out, so I plan to rent a room outside......"

"What about my child?" Huang Yaqing was immediately angry, he had never seen such a bridge crossing the river.

"I will rent a house near Wenwen", Dr. Zhou quickly explained: "We just don't want to disturb you more, besides, that house is yours after all, Sister Huang, how can we live in your house as a husband and wife, after all, it is better to rent another house." ”

"Then I'm gone, what about my children eating?" Huang Yaqing asked with confidence.

"I still live in that house...... Dr. Zhou hurriedly explained, "An Feng is also nearby." Let my lover come back in the morning to cook, and I will send her back in the evening, and I will go back to live with Wenwen, so ......"

"Let An Feng move over to live", Huang Yaqing couldn't help but order: "I said earlier, everyone can take care of each other when they live together, I give An Feng a bed in the living room, and I have everything, why do you want to separate?" No matter how close it is, there are two doors, how inconvenient. ”

Dr. Zhou's lips squirmed, and he wanted to explain but felt that it didn't make sense, so he simply closed his mouth.

As an exchange student, An Feng had to live in a local home, call his host mother and his host father his father his father and mother, and then live with them like a family – this is a formal cultural exchange program.

Of course, if it was a fully formal publicly-funded exchange student, An Feng might be arranged to be in the same country as Dr. Zhou, or even in the same country as Dr. Zhou - this is exactly what An Feng wanted. But because An Feng is a self-financed exchange student, he can designate a placement location, and Chen's father did something in it, so he deliberately chose a host family not far from Chen Wenwen's residence. Even the schools of the two of them were chosen in one place.

Self-financed exchange students. Since I pay my own tuition and pay part of the room and board fee to my host family, I can choose a wide range of options. The school and parents are also willing to bow their heads a little for the sake of money.

According to the arrangement, An Feng will live in a homestay on the same street as Chen Wenwen and five numbers apart. The family has a seven-year-old girl named Scarlett, whose father is a painter and her mother is a nursing home nurse (actually a doctor's assistant). Scarlett will be in the first grade of primary school next year, one level lower than An Feng, and the brother and sister can go in and out together.

In Huang Yaqing's heart, An Feng's purpose of going abroad was to take care of Chen Wenwen. Although An Feng's tuition fee didn't cost him a penny, he didn't pull the strings himself, and An Feng couldn't find a way out if he wanted to, so he should admit his love.

In Huang Yaqing's view, other people's arrangements can be changed, and everything is based on the "overall situation". His own children are currently the "overall situation", and since An Feng has accepted his feelings, he should make sacrifices for the "overall situation", so this matter is not negotiable.

At this time, Chen Wenwen, who was lying in front of the window looking at the clouds, stood up boredly, and said irritably while walking to the back cabin: "I'll go see An Feng and see what that kid is doing?" ”

Huang Yaqing stretched out his hand to stop him, but Dr. Zhou smiled and persuaded: "Let him go, the flight will take eleven hours." Children want to be with their children, and besides, they will have to study together in the future, so wouldn't it be better to get acquainted with them as soon as possible? ”

Huang Yaqing retracted his hand, and Chen Wenwen rushed out of the aisle, wanting to run to the tail cabin. Huang Yaqing thought about it, and An Feng's bright eyes suddenly appeared in front of her, the eyes of those eyes were very calm, and she couldn't see emotional fluctuations consistently, but Huang Yaqing felt that these eyes made her very uncomfortable, and she was a little afraid to face these eyes.

"This, what I just said, you go and tell An Feng......" Huang Yaqing groaned and hesitated.

Dr. Zhou responded in the same hesitant tone: "Let An Feng take care of Wenwen more at school, it's no problem; Let An Feng live with us and live with us...... I'm afraid it will take a bit of effort to do this. I've heard that host families write a monthly report on how their children are doing at home and how they are getting along with their 'family'......"

"Stuff them with some money", Huang Yaqing interjected and reminded: "Let's talk to them again and let them obey the overall situation." ”

"Educational institutions have to return to ...... every month," Dr. Zhou continued.

Huang Yaqing stopped talking. Dr. Chow continued, "...... The school also needs to visit the home and write a report every month. Let's not talk about whether stuffing money can solve this matter, we are not familiar with life, if everything is solved by money, how much will it cost? With this money, it's enough to hire a local nanny, right? ”

Huang Yaqing's eyes flashed, and she asked, "What if the child is willing?" ”

"Then the British educational establishment is going to deport him - he has violated a prior exchange agreement." Dr. Chow replied crisply.

Huang Yaqing blurted out: "What about some people, they always think that they can't do anything about him when they go to a foreign country, do they forget that they still have families?" ”

After speaking, Huang Yaqing glanced at Dr. Zhou. Doctor Zhou rolled his eyes in his stomach and lowered his head to be disdainful: "The country wants to embarrass people, is it obviously you?" ”

Thinking of this, Dr. Zhou's desire to get rid of the Chen family became stronger and stronger.

At this time, Chen Wenwen had already walked to the aft cabin.

There were not many people in the tail cabin, Chen Wenwen saw An Feng sitting alone in the last three seats, his body was lying across the entire row of seats, flipping through the "Times" configured on the plane, the English words in the curved English script made Chen Wenwen dizzy, he slapped it, pushed the newspaper aside, and asked impatiently: "What to pretend?" Pack 13? The teacher is not here, can you understand this? ”

It is estimated that An Feng said that he could understand it, but Chen Wenwen did not believe it. So, An Feng took the opportunity to put away the newspaper and stared at the other party silently, waiting for the other party to speak.

This is a very delicate little boy who does not speak, and even a little girly, with a thin and well-proportioned figure, about 1.2 meters tall, and a handsome young man. If he doesn't talk and stands there, you think he's a good baby, but as soon as he speaks, you'll find that this is a second-class teenager with a lot of swear words, a lot of mantras, and a lot of words, determined to follow the example of vulgarity.

An Feng didn't sit with Chen Gongzi because Huang Yaqing had an official ticket. But she only took three tickets. Dr. Zhou has a share, An Feng, is obviously ignored. Therefore, An Feng's ticket was nominally bought by Dr. Zhou.

The air ticket that he paid for was always frugal, so An Feng sat in the economy class - this way of travel is exactly what An Feng wanted.

Chen Wenwen has learned before that children with autism are not easy to accept outside information, basically you say yours, he does his. Therefore, An Feng's silence is in line with the symptoms of autism. Chen Wenwen didn't care about the other party's coldness, he sat on the chair next to him, and said to himself: "He is sensitive, I heard that the plane will fly for more than ten hours, how long do we have to stay on the plane with sensitive words." ”

An Feng just smiled, and his smile became colder and colder. Chen Wenwen flipped around An Feng boredly, and found that there were English newspapers and magazines all around, and immediately became excited: "Milk*milk*, where did you go to school, you really understand this?!" O man of God! ”

An Feng still smiled and said nothing.

Chen Wenwen was a little depressed, he was the object of flattery from childhood to adulthood, and he encountered such a stuffy gourd that didn't eat oil and salt...... Sure enough, it's autism.

Chen Wenwen couldn't stay stunned, he raised his feet and left, cursing and scolding non-stop, and everyone along the way looked sideways.

Soon after he left, Dr. Zhou rushed over, sat down on the chair where Chen Wenwen was sitting just now, and muttered in a low voice in English: "Depressed, traveling with such a depressed person is already a disaster, but we still have to live with her for half a year." ”

An Feng picked up the newspaper and replied in English in a low voice: "This is what we owe her, there is no way to hide." ”

This was the first time An Feng had spoken English, and his tongue seemed a little difficult. Dr. Zhou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Where did you learn English?" Before leaving, I was worried, but I didn't expect you to say something really bad. ”

"New Concept English", An Feng replied sullenly.

An Feng flipped through the newspaper in a loud voice, Dr. Zhou smiled, and said in a tone of obvious relief: "Fortunately, you didn't learn English from the textbook, the English in the textbook...... Ha, you'll find out when you go to school. ”

An Feng pointed to the newspaper and replied: "I know, the foreign newspaper says that the English spoken by international students in our country is not English, but Chinlish (or translated as: Chinese English). ”

"That's right," Dr. Zhou said in a relaxed tone in English, "As you can imagine, those scholars who had studied orthodox English were either criticized to death as agents of 'Liaison with Foreign Countries', or they escaped ahead of schedule. The rest of the people in the country who know English are basically hooligans, nobody, and proletarians. The English they speak, according to the 'Ten Mile Yangchang', is 'Pidgin Lake English', or 'Deflated Three English'.

But there is no way, now 'Pidgin English' is the standard answer, and you use the English standard answer sheet instead of the Chinlish standard for domestic exams, and people say that you don't understand English. But when it's time to take the TOEFL, you answer the questions according to the Chinlish standard, and people say you don't know English. When we were leaving, I was worried that you were studying Chinlish, and I wanted to remind you, but unfortunately I was too busy to have time...... Well, you've chosen the right path in the first place. ”

That's right, the domestic people also discovered this problem later, which is the reason for the rise of the "New Oriental". Since then, there has been a clear distinction between domestic and foreign language education, but for all domestic exams, Chinlish is used to answer English papers, and foreigners only use English to answer English papers.

An Feng's spoken language became smoother and smoother: "Fortunately, I am still young, my vocabulary is limited, and I have time to correct it." ”

Dr. Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right, fortunately, you're still young...... Did your parents sign the guardianship agreement? ”

According to the regulations, when going to the host family as an exchange student, the custody needs to be transferred to the host parents, and the parents must sign a "custody transfer agreement".

Seeing An Feng nodding, Dr. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. This means that except for An Feng's boarding mother and boarding father, no one has the right to make decisions on behalf of An Feng. Huang Yaqing wanted An Feng to move over again, unless......

Dr. Zhou said repeatedly, "That's good, that's good...... However, if those two people go too far, you don't have to face the bull. You have a one-year visa, and you will have to return to your home country to apply for a new entry visa in the future. provokes them, if you are detained in the country, who will you go to to complain?

You're young, you have autism anyway, you just pretend you don't hear what they say. How easy it is to pretend to be stupid. If you can't cope with anything, you can leave it to the host dad, or leave it to me...... You're so smart, I'll not say more, you know. ”

The conversation between the two men was always in English, there were not many people in the aft cabin, and the low voices of the two men, coupled with the roar of the engine, almost no one paid attention to their conversation. But despite this, they kept their voices down, like whispering.

"What's the news in the newspaper?" said Dr. Chow, picking up a newspaper as a cover.

"This year, Hollywood's most popular movies were: The Silence of the Lambs, Edward Scissorhands, The Godfather III., Home Alone I., Terminator II, Ghost Love, Dances with Wolves...... Wait", An Feng said casually.

In fact, the newspapers on board the plane did not report on these contents. But Dr. Zhou knew An Feng's fast reading ability and unforgettable horror, so he immediately skipped the entertainment version, went to look at the content of the economic version, and said, "The economic version is ...... What's the latest good project?

To tell the truth, books are hated when they are used, and they are poor when they are spent. Two million yuan sounds like a lot of money, but I bought two houses, and the rest of the money was guaranteed for you, and then, ahem, then we were almost poor. ”

Dr. Zhou said that the two were poor, but in fact, the two people sitting in the aft cabin each carried $80,000 with them. This money is a lot of money even for the British. However, in principle, this money is the tuition and living expenses of the two for four years, and if you sit empty, this money may not be enough.

However, for these two people, after setting foot on British soil, An Feng is truly like a fish in water...... An Feng will never say this.

He flipped through the newspaper, as if looking for something: "Then you give me 50,000, or 60,000, and we must quickly localize our wealth to find a way to get rich." ”

"I believe in you!" Dr. Chow did not hesitate. Immediately afterwards, he rummaged through the newspaper and sighed: "I actually let you walk in front of this child." I got a good TOEFL score, but now I read this English newspaper like a book from heaven, and you have learned to adapt first...... Wait for me, I'll go get the dictionary. ”

Dr. Zhou is going to study for a master's degree at the University of Leeds' Centre for Psychological Research, one of the six "red brick universities" in the UK that complement the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. And this University of Leeds, which is said to have an admission rate of only 13%, is a difficult school to get into, so Dr Chow is under a lot of pressure...... Of course, it's no wonder that he went on to achieve so much – the University of Leeds alone has six Nobel laureates in science.

An Feng glanced at Dr. Zhou and reminded casually, "Aren't you going back to sit?" First-class passengers, what are first-class passengers doing in my tail cabin? I've heard that there is champagne in first class, and the snacks and lunch are different from ours. ”

Sometimes Dr. Zhou forgets that there is a child on the other side, and even if he occasionally remembers the identity of the other person's child, he always feels weird. The maturity of the other party...... made him feel like he had lived for many years in vain.

"You kid, do you know what champagne is? There is actually champagne in the first class...... Hmph, I eat with dignity in my trouser pocket, but I'd rather keep my dignity. ”

Dr. Zhou said this sentence in Chinese.

An Feng grinned and mocked: "You can choose not to eat it." ”

Dr. Zhou leaned sideways, walked towards the corridor of the plane, and replied: "Sure enough, it's a child, and this is full of cowardice in bullying the weak and afraid of the hard." ”

Doctor Zhou's words An Feng understood: It was not Qin Hui who killed Yue Fei, it was Song Gaozong - Qin Hui was unwilling to do it? Celebrities go to the official's bed, and it's not the celebrity who is at fault - they want to refuse, do they dare?

Therefore, accusing Qin Hui of killing Yue Fei and accusing celebrities of competing to be the second and third mothers looks impassioned and righteous and awe-inspiring, but there is endless humility and cowardice in their bones - because they dare not accuse real sinners.

The official ticket was collected for free, and Huang Yaqing didn't pay a penny himself. Now An Feng is standing aside and watching the scenery, Zhou Tao, who is in it, dare to refuse this charity?
