703 [Daily life at home]
For the next two months, Zhou Hexuan stayed in the UK, playing with his wife and children.
At this time, London should be the most polluted city in the world. The air smells of sulphur, the sky is always foggy, and the Thames is so green that no one dares to eat the fish caught from it.
Fortunately, it rains in London, which greatly reduces the level of air pollution. If it was sunny for a week, even the rain would be black, and it would be terrible.
However, this is a symbol of industrial civilization, and China wants this kind of pollution but can't get it.
For the health of his wife and children, Zhou Hexuan has been living in the suburbs of London, and occasionally takes his family to the central north of England. However, the serialization of "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes" was much faster, which made British science fiction fans addicted, and some people even suggested that Zhou Hexuan simply immigrate to the UK.
During Zhou Hexuan's stay in the UK, many major events happened.
On December 2, Chang Kaishen reorganized the Nanjing Nationalist Government and appointed himself as the premier, completing the last step of the dictatorship, while Wang Zhaoming completely lost power.
On December 9, the "129 Movement" led by the CCP broke out, setting off a wave of anti-Japanese resistance among the whole people.
On January 2, students from Pingjin and Tianjin went south to carry out large-scale anti-Japanese propaganda.
On January 28, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation was established, and Yang Jingyu, Zhou Baozhong, and Li Zhaolin respectively served as the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army.
On February 17, the Chinese Anti-Japanese Vanguard Army, formed by the Red Army, issued the "Eastern Crusade Declaration".
On February 20, the Chinese Anti-Japanese Vanguard Army forcibly crossed the Yellow River and began the Red Army's eastward crusade.
On February 26, young Japanese military officers launched the "226 Coup", which failed, and the Japanese government was completely militarized.
By the way, the British king also changed. Prince Albert's brother was successfully crowned, known as "Edward VIII", and made a fuss about marrying a woman who had been married twice as queen, embarking on a legendary journey in which he did not love the country and loved the beauty.
β¦β¦
A country house outside London.
Ruan Lingyu and Zhou Xuan lived in the hotel for two and a half months before finally being allowed to move into the villa.
At this moment, Zhang Leyi, Wanrong, Liao Yaquan and Ruan Lingyu are sitting together playing mahjong.
Zhang Leyi's card is very smooth, and she has won a lot of money, so she is happy to smile.
Liao Yaquan lost in a hurry, money is a trivial matter, but he felt that he had no face, so he quietly hid cards and cheated.
Wanrong is a little absent-minded, she has recently become obsessed with oil painting, and it is a romantic landscape painting that has become outdated. She often went to the Courtauld School of Art, where she interacted with painters and professors, and even had the idea of enrolling in school.
Wanrong's romantic "ink stain paintings" and "watercolors" amazed London painters. In fact, that thing is similar to the Chinese splash ink freehand painting, Western painters 100 years ago Xing Chong created the so-called "ink stain painting", but everyone knows that China has long had a more advanced "splash ink painting".
At this moment, although Wanrong is sitting on the mahjong table, she is thinking of a new work in her heart, and sometimes she doesn't know if she wins.
Ruan Lingyu faced her three sisters, and she was cautious and trembling when playing cards. Fortunately, her card skills are not high, and she does not need to deliberately handicap, she just needs to play her true level.
"Bump! Three of a kind. Zhang Leyi shouted with a rainbow of momentum.
"Haha, it's nonsense!" Liao Yaquan smiled and pushed the cards, and when he spread his hands to collect the money, he took the opportunity to put back the two mahjong that had been replaced.
Zhang Leyi glanced at Liao Yaquan's cards, frowned and said, "It's all over so soon?" β
Liao Yaquan said proudly: "No way, my luck is back." β
This high-ranking spy sent by the Japanese military department has completely degenerated, and he actually has to play mahjong every day, and he still enjoys it.
Ruan Lingyu flattered timidly: "Sister Liao played the card really well. β
When these words came out, Ruan Lingyu was afraid of offending Zhang Leyi, so she hurriedly added: "The eldest sister also plays well, and she wins every time." β
Zhang Leyi rolled her eyes helplessly, Ruan Lingyu's cowardly appearance made her angry and funny, and she really couldn't hate it. Change to a slightly stronger one, such as Liao Yaquan, Zhang Leyi will definitely not be put into the house again.
In the garden outside the house, Xiao Lingjun stood in front of a small blackboard, holding a branch in his hand as a whip, and said to his two younger brothers: "This is the word 'country', read it with me...... Country, the country of China! β
"Country, the country of China!"
Two brothers, Shuo Ming and Yang Ming, who just turned 3 last month, quietly fiddled with their toys while learning to read and write with their sister.
On the other side of the garden, Vivien Li was singing Peking Opera with Meng Xiaodong. A few British maids who had finished their work stood far away at the moment, enjoying the wonderful performances of the two hostesses for free.
"You broke my pistol, pay me for it!"
"No, you broke it yourself."
"It's you who broke it, pay for it quickly."
"I don't have a pistol, only a sword."
"Then pay me for your sword."
"No compensation, this is the sword my father made for me."
"Give it to me!"
"Woo woo woo...... My brother snatched my sword. β
The two little guys suddenly quarreled, Liao Yaquansheng's son Yang Yang, was pressed to the ground by Wanrongsheng's son Shuoming, crying and shouting, clutching a wooden sword and refusing to let go.
Xiao Lingjun is 6 and a half years old, and she is very much like a teacher, she waved her whip and said: "Don't cry, don't fight, listen carefully to me!" β
Shuo Ming and Yang Yi were suddenly frightened, obediently sat down again, and suddenly kicked each other's legs and feet while their sister was not paying attention.
Xiao Lingjun wrote a new word on the blackboard, turned around and saw that the two younger brothers were fighting again, and immediately threw away the whip and rushed into the house to complain.
In the study, Zhou Hexuan was writing.
Ma Jue, who was on weekend vacation, sat next to him, sometimes reading books, sometimes looking at people, with a faint smile on his face.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open suddenly, and Xiao Lingjun threw himself on Zhou Hexuan's lap, crying aggrievedly: "Dad, Dad." Woooooooooooooooo The younger brothers were disobedient, they were taught to read, and they had to fight. β
Zhou Hexuan hugged his daughter with tears and laughter, helped her wipe her tears and said, "Our little drama spirit, are you unhappy again?" β
Xiao Lingjun pouted and cried even harder, shouting outside: "Mom, Dad is bullying me too!" Wow wow wow wow...... I'm not a drama spirit, I'm not a drama spirit, wow wow wow wow wow! β
"Poof!"
Ma Jue was amused and said with a smile: "Lingjun is so cute. β
Zhou Hexuan hugged his daughter and smiled: "How old are you, still crying?" Let's go play with Brother Verrie. β
"No," Xiao Lingjun's mouth pursed higher and higher, "Wei Lie is a nerd, he knows how to read all day long, and it's not fun at all." β
At this moment, Xiao Yangji ran in with a broken wooden sword, crying and complaining: "Dad, Dad, my brother broke my sword!" β
Xiao Shuoming followed behind and said solemnly: "Hmph, stingy ghost, you also broke my pistol." β
Liao Yaquan, who was still playing cards and cheating just now, suddenly came to the study at this moment, carrying his son's clothes and scolding sharply: "How many times have I told you, manly man, don't cry!" β
"Wow, wow, wow!" Xiao Yangji was frightened by his mother and cried even louder.
Seeing this, Xiao Shuoming immediately slipped away, ran to Xiao Weilie's house, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'll accompany you to read." β
"Hmm."
Xiao Weilie cherished his words like gold, his eyes did not leave the book, and he was still holding a pencil in his hand to check the calculation, he was reading the "Third Grade Arithmetic Workbook" published by the Commercial Press.
This is a normal day for the Zhou family.
