Chapter Twenty-Seven: You Are Invincible

After a while, the two children were chatting enthusiastically. When they got home, they finished chatting about various children's games and started chatting about recent movies. Originally, the Bartlets were worried about An Feng's lack of vocabulary, but then they found that An Feng handled the conversation with ease and began to dominate the conversation.

Bartlet's father thinks that An Feng's accent is already pure. The English language in Leeds City is a North English accent, and only the West End accent is the "gold standard" English in the UK. The accent in the eastern suburbs of London is called "Poor English", and An Feng learned it from somewhere, and he speaks pure "golden English".

The Bartlets live in a wealthy area on the south-west outskirts of Leeds. Generally, families who can host exchange students, at least the local middle class, also require the host family to be caring, have no criminal record, etc. Both the Bartlets have jobs, and the mother also works in a nursing home under a government agency, which is the equivalent of a state official.

The neighborhood where the Bartlet's family lives is a single-family villa. The villa is on the A58 road in front of it, and behind it is a large area of farmland and green space. Follow the A58 in front of your door and you'll be a 20-minute drive to the University of Leeds in the city. In the vicinity of this road, there are also several railways that lead to the whole of the United Kingdom. Therefore, this community can be described as convenient and quiet.

Carefully, Bartlet's father saw that it was still early, and deliberately turned the car around before entering the house, so that An Feng could take a look at his school and the state environment of the school, and recognize the way home from school. An Feng's school is not far away, only about 15 minutes walk, next to the campus is a large park (green space), is a completely open public green space, no entrance fees, no door wall.

It's just after the New Year, and the park is covered with snow. In the center of the garden, a vacant lot is surrounded by an ice rink, and the skating people in it are children of the same size as An Feng and Scarlett, Bartlet's father parked the car by the ice rink, got out of the car and led the two villains around, pointed to the ice rink and said apologetically: "Vera and I used to be busy with work, and I didn't have the opportunity to skate with Scarlett, I think Scarlett must be very lonely...... Kane, if you'd like, you'll take Scarlett to skate tomorrow, okay? ”

An Feng agreed without hesitation. Bartlet's father immediately smiled, and he greeted: "Get in the car, let's go to the supermarket." ”

Vera's mother seemed to understand Batlet's father's purpose, she didn't say a word and led everyone to board the car, Batlet's father took the steering wheel and led everyone around the community to the supermarket next to it, the car was parked in the supermarket parking lot, An Feng looked up at the signboard...... Yo, familiar, Carrefour supermarket.

Everyone got out of the car, and Bartlet's father pointed to a device next to the car and introduced: "Kane, you see, this is the symbol of Carrefour supermarkets - Carrefour around the world allows caravans to park for free, which is the interface for filling water and charging RVs." ”

As he spoke, Bartlet's father pointed to the villas on the left side of the parking lot and to the northeast, and said, "That's our home, Scarlett is going to skate tomorrow, and we didn't have skates for her...... Haha, you probably won't come to the UK with skates on your back. Let's go to the supermarket and equip my skaters. ”

An Feng really didn't bring skates, and An Feng's luggage was very simple when he went abroad. But when he arrived in London, his luggage expanded rapidly, filling four large duffel bags. Inside there are three high-performance laptops, as well as some changes of clothes, a miniature voice recorder...... and all sorts of other things that can't be said to be useful, plus two good quality baseball bats, except for no skates.

Since Bartlet's father is polite, An Feng is not polite.

Bartlet's purchase for An Feng was a pair of Norwegian skates, and its brand name was "skates", because "skates" were invented by Norwegians, and then it became customary, and this brand name became a common name for such professional sneakers.

In addition to skates, Bartlet's father also carefully purchased anti-freeze earmuffs and gloves for An Feng and Scarlett, which led everyone back to their nests.

The exterior of this home looks very rough, even "shabby", but it is very British, with large British red brick facades, estimated to be forty years old, and English-style window sills, wide enough for an adult to lie horizontally. White cement is outlined in the red brick joints of the exterior wall, making the whole wall look like a drawing board painted with red and white checkered patterns. Pushing open the lattice window of white lacquered iron flowers, there is an apple tree outside the window - until April, the courtyard must be filled with the fragrance of apple blossoms.

This old house has three floors, and An Feng was placed in the room facing the sun on the second floor. Next to his room was empty, diagonally opposite Scarlett's bedroom, and directly across from Scarlett's dollhouse. The last room in the corridor on the second floor is a large suite with bathroom. Boarding dad and host mom live on the first floor. The third floor is unoccupied, and it is said that there are piles of old toys and miscellaneous items that are not used for the time being.

On the first floor, in addition to the living room, bathroom, parents' bedroom, and a study. The living room is open plan and directly connected to the kitchen, so there is also a brick-sealed fireplace in the house - but this fireplace is a fake, just for decorative purposes.

The room was warm, and a slight buzzing sound from inside the house reminded An Feng that the heating equipment in this house might be a diesel wall-hung stove. It is estimated that at least one tanker truck diesel will be burned in one winter...... Rich man.

An Feng estimated in his heart that although the house price in Leeds City is cheap, it is estimated that it will cost about 200,000 pounds to have a villa in such a noble community...... Oh, this house is not called a "villa" in the mouth of foreigners, this kind of single-family house is called a "house" in the mouth of foreigners, and the kind of residence in a building in the city, they call it an "apartment". The term "villa" refers to a complex of country palace-like buildings, with a variety of buildings.

As for palace-like buildings...... the word "White House" literally translates to "White House". It can be seen that the "villa" mentioned by foreigners is not the same thing as the "villa" called in domestic advertising.

Since they had gone to the supermarket, everyone had already gone home, but fortunately, Bartlet's father had purchased fast food from the supermarket, and this dinner was passed with fast food. After the meal, her mother Vera changed An Feng's new bed sheets, and she introduced An Feng while making the bed: "Kane, the security in Leeds City is not good, but it is by no means bad. The city is safe during the day and ...... at night At night, there is only one district of the city that is chaotic: the Indo-Pakistani district...... Oh, I'm not racist, I'm just stating.

Over the years, there have been frequent reports on the news of nighttime robberies in the Indo-Pakistani region. However, it is still safe during the day...... You know, the Leeds police are lazy, and at night as soon as they get off work, the laneways in India and Pakistan become unsafe. But who can say anything like that? Some people have lived in the Indo-Pakistani region all their lives, walking day and night as usual, and have never encountered a single robbery.

Although you are still a child, I don't think you need to go to the Indo-Pakistani region at night. But if you have to go there, day or night, please let us know first...... Well, a lot of Chinese students rent a house there, I think you may have fellow villagers living there, if you want to contact them, please let me know. ”

It is too early to say whether there are any fellow villagers living in India and Pakistan, and An Feng has no choice but to remain silent on this topic.

Next, Vera's mother led An Feng to tour all the spaces in the house - except for the attic on the third floor. At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, Bartlet's father was worried that An Feng was tired from the long journey, and anxiously urged An Feng to rest, Scarlett wanted to talk to An Feng again, but was immediately urged by his parents to go to bed.

That night, An Feng stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, unable to sleep for a long time—this seemed normal. As a child, tonight was the first day that An Feng left all familiar people and faced an unfamiliar environment alone, and he should not be able to sleep. But...... An Feng couldn't sleep, but not because of loneliness.

There was a whisper from his parents outside the door, and An Feng quickly closed his eyes. After a while, the boarding father and the boarding mother crept in, and the father reached out to tuck An Feng's quilt and whispered to his mother: "Very good, this child is asleep, sleeping very peacefully, it seems that he is very suitable for our family, I hope he has a good dream tonight." ”

The mother booed and said softly, "Go out and talk, don't wake up this child." ”

The sound of tiptoeing gradually walked away, An Feng closed his eyes, beckoned himself and said, "Sleep, tomorrow is the new sun." ”

Highly intelligent businessmen all have one thing in common, that is, they sleep very little. It is said that there is a highly intelligent person who can stay energetic by sleeping only four hours a day. This is because his brain is very well developed, and when he is awake, some brain cells are in a state of dormancy in turns, so he does not need much sleep.

An Feng has very little sleep, and now he is still a child, he has paid a little attention to the maintenance of his body, and his sleep time is basically guaranteed to be six hours. So the next day, when he woke up, the whole house was quiet, but it was already getting dark.

When I opened the curtains, I saw the snow and frost hanging on the apple trees outside the window, and the roof across the road was red and white, red bricks and white snow. Looking down the road, the whole alley is filled with a typical British style - yes, this is England, and this is An Feng's home for the next year.

Gently opening the window, An Feng stood on the windowsill and continued to look down the street. Across a few rooms is a set of "villas" with no Christmas lights in front of the door, no New Year's atmosphere on the window, and it looks very deserted - without being reminded by others, An Feng knows that it is the "villa" purchased by Huang Yaqing - now that An Feng does not exist, presumably Dr. Zhou will return with Huang Yaqing...... However, this is no longer an affair with An Feng.

Shivering in the cold wind, An Feng retracted, picked up a chair and leaned against the wall, and began his daily seven-minute workout...... Of course, seven minutes later, the house was still quiet, An Feng came to the window again, and saw the Indian child delivering newspapers outside the window, riding a bicycle quickly past the door, he threw it hard, and the bundle of newspapers covered with plastic bags rolled down the grass in front of the door.

An Feng smiled slightly: "There is a reason." ”

After getting dressed, An Feng opened the door and went out to retrieve the newspaper. Seeing that there was residual snow on the road in and out of the door, An Feng picked up a shovel from the lawn in front of the door and began to clean up the snow. His movements were very light, but he didn't expect that such a slight movement would still wake up the boarding father and the boarding mother - after all, an outsider suddenly lived in the house, and the adults were probably more tense than the villains.

The boarding father stood in front of his bedroom window, watched An Feng's movements for a while, and suddenly picked up the phone and dialed the number left by Dr. Zhou, and Dr. Zhou's sleepy voice came from the phone, and Bartlet quickly apologized: "Please forgive me, Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to disturb you so early." Yesterday we broke up in a hurry and I didn't have time to ask Kane about it, I wondered, is Kane not adjusting to jet lag? ”

On the phone, Dr. Zhou smiled: "What, he woke you up?" Haha, I knew it...... I'm sorry, well, how to say that? ”

Bartlet demanded: "Please speak up." ”

"He is a child with extraordinary intelligence", Dr. Zhou put it bluntly: "His intelligence is beyond your imagination, please make sure you treat him as an adult and communicate with him as an equal, so that you can get along well." ”

"How extraordinary?" Bartlet asked.

"Oh, in the face of his IQ, you will feel that your previous life has been wasted", Dr. Zhou couldn't hold back a smile. Now, it's your turn to be tormented and tormented. Haha, it feels so good.

"He doesn't sleep much every day, but he has a lot of energy whenever he's awake. He can read the Times in 10 minutes, and then you ask him where every little ad in the newspaper is located and what it is, and he can tell you everything. Oh, and he's very sensitive to numbers, and his level of math is ...... I don't think there are a lot of adults who can't compare. Do you want me to go on with this? ”

Bartlet was so shocked that it took him a long time before he choked up and asked, "Are all your children in that country?" …… Oh my God, you are simply invincible. ”

The last sentence, of course, is the favorite "addition" of the People's Daily.

Dr. Zhou laughed and hung up the phone. Bartlet's father stood in front of the window speechless, and Vera's mother got up in her clothes, and she cried out, "Bartlet, it's cold outside, you put on more clothes." ”

As she spoke, she got up and grabbed a thick cotton wool pajamas, walked to the window and draped it on Bartlet, and by the way, glanced at the back of An Feng shoveling snow outside the window, and then gently hugged her husband's stunned body and asked, "What did he say?" ”

Father Bartlet's repetition of Dr. Zhou's words at a loss, and asked worriedly, "What do you think we should do with this ......?" ”

Vera's mother gently hugged Batlet's father, lowered her voice and giggled, "Our Scarlett will have a good brother, what?" Do you think he and Scarlett will get along? ”

Daddy Bartley thought for a moment and recalled, "No, they had a great chat, I felt like Kane was good at taking care of Scarlett, but I was worried...... I'm worried that they have too many IQ gaps, and whether it will make Scarlett feel frustrated. Scarlett is still young! ”
