Chapter 1 Meeting Compatriots in a Foreign Country
Gently I go,
As I come gently;
I beckoned gently,
Be the clouds of the western heavens.
The golden willows on the banks of the river,
is the bride in the sunset;
Bright shadows in the waves,
It ripples in my heart.
On both sides of the Sword River, with green grass, willow banks and light winds, and a city full of lush greenery lined with towering minarets and magnificent Gothic buildings, the university in this city is amazing.
Ms. Wu held her daughter's hand and walked on the bank of the Sword River, followed by several teenage children, not far away, discussing something in pairs.
These children are all poor children, and they are very good at reading people's eyes, and they know that the mother and daughter have something to say, so they keep their distance like this.
"Mom is for your good, you see that's King's College, Mom wants you to study here and realize your dreams."
Wu Ying'er's stomach bulged slightly, she stared at the building not far away, sighed and said, "Mom, this is your dream, not mine." ”
"Listen to my mother's words, take advantage of the British doctor's high medical skills, and kill this child here, without knowing it."
"Mom, do you remember how you brought me out of that place in the first place? You love me, I love this little life, this may be our life. ”
Wu Ying'er's hand gently pressed on her stomach and sighed.
After Wu Ying'er was released by the people of the Green Leaf Society, Ms. Wu looked at her daughter's aggrieved little face, and her raised hand couldn't be beaten.
She thought of herself back then, the man gave up in chaos, saw the reality clearly, and resolutely made a living alone with a big belly. The worst one was about to give birth, her stomach hurt and she couldn't walk, she rolled on the ground in pain, lying on the side of the road, begging passers-by to help call a rickshaw to take her to the hospital. After more than ten years of hard work, he worked hard to raise his daughter to adulthood, and he never dreamed that he was busy with the rescue cause, and he would let that little bastard take advantage of it, what kind of sin did he create.
Cai Guozhen's disgrace also greatly shocked Ms. Wu's heart. She began to examine what she had done over the years. She admits that she also has selfishness, and has used the money raised for donations, and even used to be very vain, eager to be praised by the whole Shanghai city and even the whole country, although she did not do evil like Cai Guozhen, but she often walked by the river, and there was always a time when her shoes were wet.
Therefore, this time she brought her daughter to Cambridge, she wanted Wu Yinger to see the demeanor of other institutions of higher learning, and inspire her to move upward, since a person has the confidence to study, the child in the belly will become a burden, and when the time comes, the British medical technology is much stronger than that in China, as long as Wu Yinger moves the heart of the fetus, the child can always be removed.
Now, looking at Wu Ying'er looking around, her eyes full of envy, Ms. Wu had a faint smile on her lips, and there was a sense of relief that her goal was about to be achieved.
"Are you Chinese?"
A teenager walked over and smiled and waved at them.
The boy looked fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a gray suit, with a folder under his arm, like a student.
Wu Ying'er was surprised: "You are also a student of Cambridge, so young?" ”
The young man smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, I'm not young, I'll be fifteen soon." I'm not a Cambridge student, I'm still in secondary school. ”
Ms. Wu saw that the clothes on this child were of excellent quality, and he was in middle school in the United Kingdom, so he seemed to be a young master from a rich family, so she smiled and said, "Is your home near here?" ”
"Yes, I live in this neighborhood, I live in my uncle's friend's house, he is a professor in Cambridge, my name is Chu Qi, you are ...... Is the wife planning to send this sister here to study? Chu Qi looked behind Ms. Wu again, he was a person who had been a newsboy for a few years, and he was the most accurate to see people, and he could see at a glance that the children behind this lady were all poor children, they were wearing suits that didn't fit well, and their eyes were dodging and lacking confidence, such a combination was really a bit strange.
"These are the children we rescued, and this time we brought them out to see the world."
Ms. Wu introduced: "My surname is Wu, and this is my daughter, called Ying'er. ”
"Aunt Wu, Sister Ying'er."
When I met my compatriots in another country, I was very happy in the seventh day of the junior high school, especially knowing that Ms. Wu was taking the poor children out to investigate, and the seventh day of the junior high school had a sense of sympathy for the same disease, and the enthusiastic seventh day of the junior high school took everyone to visit together and took the initiative to explain to them.
"On the seventh day of junior high school, you are the same age as me, so you know so much, it's amazing." One child exclaimed.
"Actually, I used to be a newsboy."
Chu Qi smiled and sang, "Lalala! La-la-la! I am a small connoisseur of newspaper sellers, running all over the streets in the wind and rain, walking badly, slipping, covered in muddy water and making people laugh, hungry and cold only I know. ”
The children gathered around the seventh year of junior high school in amazement and asked, "Really, really, really?" On the seventh day of the first month, don't lie to us, you really worked as a newsboy. ”
"Yes, I am an orphan, I used to work as a newsboy to earn money to eat, and then I met a kind uncle who helped me and sent me to study, all I can do is study hard and repay my uncle's kindness."
The words of the seventh year of junior high school resonated with Ms. Wu, who wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "Children, I also want you to see the world to broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge, and I hope that one day you can take a walk in the world's most famous university like the seventh day of junior high school, and one day you will come here to study." ”
Some of the children listened excitedly and couldn't stop nodding.
There are also children who bow their heads and think that we want to go to the seventh year of junior high school, but how can anyone be so lucky that he can meet a rich person to send him out to study, and he is really lucky to be on the seventh day of junior high school.
The lucky seventh day of the new year took everyone all the way to the evening, and Ms. Wu didn't want to go, and insisted on inviting everyone to eat together.
Chu Qi smiled and said, "Aunt Wu, I live there!" He pointed to a Gothic building in front of him and continued, "Aunt Mary must have prepared a meal and waited for me, you are out to study, I can't spend your money, wait until I agree with Aunt Mary tomorrow, and use the money from my part-time job to invite you to dinner." ”
"The seventh day of junior high school is really a kind and good boy." Ms. Wu was very emotional.
Everyone watched Chu Qi run towards the house, and a child said enviously: "It would be good when I could meet a rich uncle." ”
The tone was full of envy.
Ms. Wu said, "Then you should pray more and ask God to bless you." ”
At dawn the next day, I heard someone shouting outside on the seventh day of the new year.
The shout was familiar, and the first day of the first year sat up from the soft eiderdown quilt: this is Chinese, and the Chinese are shouting.
He opened the window and looked out, only to see two black-haired Chinese children standing downstairs, who saw Chu Qi poking their heads out of the window and hurriedly beckoned to him.
"On the seventh day of the first month, Ms. Wu didn't come back all night!" A child shouted.
"Wait a minute."
On the seventh day of the first month, he changed his clothes and hurried downstairs.
Aunt Mary looked into the kitchen and asked, "What's wrong?" It was as if I heard someone shouting something in a language I didn't understand. ”
"I'm sorry Aunt Mary, it's my compatriot who came looking for me."
The seventh day of the first month ran out, and the two children surrounded them anxiously: "Ms. Wu and Sister Wu are gone!" "They're not going to leave us here and run away on their own, are they?"
A child burst into tears.
"How can you have such an idea?" Chu Qi felt that this child's idea was really strange.
Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
