Chapter 119

Shi Wuwei walked all the way, thought all the way, the next day before dawn, he woke up and went to find Professor Dai to answer the doubts in his heart.

Prof. Dai’s breakfast is very grounded, is a big cake and buns, his appetite is relatively large, probably because his family was doing manual labor when he was a child, he also inherited a good appetite, in the morning must eat something real. He is also a good cook, he used to be very good at using the fireplace in the dormitory when he was studying in the UK to cook some roast pigeon and swan.

The food in the British school cafeteria was terrible.

Luckily, the school had a large lake where a flock of birds of prey resided all year round, which solved a large part of his problem.

He was able to join one of the school’s clubs because of his swan-roasting skills, which impressed several of the club’s members. They all thought he was a very brave man and a good cook. One of the club’s programs was to send new members to the lake to catch swans and roast them for everyone to eat.

Far from it.

Anyway, Prof. Dai preferred to cook whenever he could spare a hand rather than call on his students. If he really can not get out of hand, the students have been enthusiastic for him to do a good job, it is not impossible to eat, are rice well, regardless of what flavor cooked or not cooked? It’s all rice, no matter what flavor it is cooked or not cooked, just swallow it and fill your stomach.

Shi Wuwei carrying firewood into the kitchen, the generation of professors have been the noodles and good, rolled into a crust, coated with oil, re-stacked several times, rolled out again, cut flower knife, frying pan.

Shi Wuwei smelled the aroma, asked: “Professor, you make cakes?”

Professor Day smiled and said, “Today we eat pancakes, you go make soup, I fry a few more, we eat together.”

Prof. Dai can’t even fill the pot with pancakes, and one pancake is bigger than the lid of the pot. He made a pot of flour and fried a dozen pancakes, stacking them up and covering them with a cage cloth.

Shi Wuwei’s soup is also ready, which is yesterday’s uneaten two rice and water boil.

If Prof. Dai had done it himself, he would have made a green vegetable soup or cucumber soup, and now with the bland and tasteless rice soup, he felt that the pancakes he fried were really extraordinarily delicious.

“Say, did you get scolded at your senior sister’s house yesterday?” Prof. Dai ate one by himself, very satisfied, and began to care about the student who was extraordinarily silent today.

Shi Wuwei was in a depressed mood, also ate a piece of cake, also smeared with his own mix of chili, heard the professor ask a question, put down the bowl and sighed, told the story of yesterday’s Yang Yuyan stuff.

Generation Yushu sat and listened to the end, smiled and said: “struck? If I say, it is not necessary. Although she is a girl who has never been out of the house, but you do not underestimate the Zhu family. The Zhu family’s old man was one of the first to study abroad. Yan Yan grew up with a lot of experience, for her, this is her living environment, is what she grew up hearing, the people around her, whether it is her parents or friends and relatives, their influence on her is not to be underestimated. You came to me just four years ago, the knowledge you have accumulated in your four years of study is no worse than others, but there are some gaps that are not so simple to catch up with.”

He patted Shi Wuwei’s shoulder to comfort him.

Shi Wuwei didn’t quite look up and said, “Professor, I want to study abroad.”

Dai Yushu was stunned and couldn’t hold back his smile as he said with a harrumph, “Is this a real blow? It’s all going to force you out?”

He didn’t wait for Shi Wuwei to speak, pulled him and quickly went to his study room, rummaging through the desk to find the study abroad materials he had prepared for Shi Wuwei, a huge pile, all of which he handed over to Shi Wuwei: “Take a close look at it first, since you want to go, we will start preparing for it, and strive to send you out within three months.”

Shi Wuwei held the things in surprise: “Ah?”

Dai Yushu laughed, “You think this is sending you to the provinces? It’s not that simple. You didn’t want to go out before, so I didn’t say anything, and now that you’ve decided to go, there are some things I’m going to have to start teaching you now. Some of the life, customs, how to treat people, etc., you have to learn these now. Otherwise you are going to be at a disadvantage going out like this.”

Shi Wuwei was inexplicably relieved as he opened the materials Professor Dai had prepared for him and found several letters inside.

Dai Yushu said, “I asked my classmates and professors back then to take care of you, and this is the letter they wrote back to me. By the way, since you’re going to study abroad, you should go to the Zhu family more often next. I’ll teach you some manners, you should get used to it first when you go to the Zhu family, the Zhu family has an open minded culture, and the ladies are used to western manners, so you should practice first, there, men are expected to do a lot of things on their own accord, if you don’t dare to even open the door and pull out the chairs for the ladies, that’s not good.”

Dai Yushu did as he said, and immediately decided to bring Shi Wuwei to visit the Zhu family today, and asked them to take care of Shi Wuwei more. He wrote a note and pasted it on the door, closed the door, took Shi Wuwei and rushed to the Zhu family.

It was only seven o’clock now, and there were already a lot of people on the street, with a lot of traffic. The most piercing sight in the crowd was the yellow-clothed gendarmerie, all of whom were lined up in two lines, either standing by the side of the street or patrolling the street. Pedestrians on the street avoided them.

Dai Yushu and Shi Wuwei sat in the yellow car and drove past the gendarmes without looking at them.

When they arrived at the downstairs of Zhu’s house, Dai Yushu took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, then suddenly remembered and said to Shi Wuwei, “Oh no, we are too early. I’m afraid the Zhu family hasn’t gotten up yet this time.”

Shi Wuwei also remembered the Zhu family’s work and rest habits, even Su Chunjun, a person who has to go to work every day, only leaves the house at nine o’clock every day, and in his words, “There are so many jobs, so why do we have to go early? A little later is a little later, the salary is the same.”

The two early risers who both get up before dawn stood there looking at each other until the passersby around them started to look at them, only then did Dai Yushu pretend that nothing had happened as he opened his legs and said to Shi Wuwei, “Then let’s take a walk on this street first.”

The two of them walked back and forth along this long street like an early rising gentleman breathing fresh air, spending a conservative estimate of one hour and fifteen minutes.

In order to avoid being pulled over by the gendarmes to interrogate them for money, Dai Yushu nonchalantly began to converse with Shi Wuwei in Japanese.

Shi Wuwei also had to reply in Japanese, the two wearing a suit and long shirt speaking ghosts four, indeed no gendarmerie to check out, see from afar will be avoided.

Dai Yushu took the opportunity to first tell Shi Wuwei about the completely different environment of foreign countries and domestic.

Shi Wuwei was bombarded by Yang Yuyan with her mouth only yesterday, and today he is much more accustomed to listening to Prof. Dai’s words. He suddenly realized why he accepted it faster when Prof. Dai talked about studying abroad, it was because Prof. Dai was speaking from a third party’s point of view, like in a lesson.

He also brought up what he didn’t understand when he talked to Yang Yuyan yesterday.

Dai Yushu laughed, ”The issue of black slaves during the American Civil War? This is very interesting, if we expand on it, it’s probably enough to talk about it for a week. Yan Yan has a point, from a political point of view, nothing is purely emancipation ah, doctrine ah this kind of thing, simply put, it is a struggle for interests. You know the slave ship, right?”

He stood still and pointed in the direction of the pier, “Even now, the slave ship is docked at the harbor. In our country’s Guangzhou, Fujian, Hong Kong and other ports, countless slave transporting ships take our country out.”

Shi Wuwei stood beside Prof. Dai and fell into silence.

The foreign invasions of their country and nationals never stopped.

Dai Yushu: “Powerful countries invade weak countries for no other reason than benefits. Interests have gold, treasure, mineral deposits, and people. People are also a very important kind of wealth. They loot the people of the weaker countries and send them to work their asses off only until they die.”

Dai Yushu pulled Shi Wuwei to continue walking and said, “The black slaves in the United States were sent to the United States by slave ships. There are still our own people there now. The United States has a long history of using slaves, and it was from the black slaves that they got a taste of the sweetness and did it all over again as they did with our country. They sent slaves to factories and mines to build railroads, dig mines, and clear fields for farming. Because the United States is a new nation of immigrants, their country’s own nationals are very few and far between, and all of them are rich people, capitalists, and speculators from other continents who have gone over. When they need to build, they need to draw a lot of manpower from outside.”

Shi Wuwei said, “Slaves.”

Dai Yushu nodded, “Yes. Slaves, it’s the easiest solution and the cheapest, but the value created by slaves isn’t cheap, on the contrary, that’s very huge, cheap slaves represent greater wealth, competing for slaves while also being able to fight against competitors, that’s the essence of the black emancipation movement.” He laughed a little and said, “Happily, our enemies are not ironclad. America, Britain, these powerful countries are inherently divided within themselves, it’s not hard to defeat them, we just need to build up our strength and find the opportunity to destroy our enemies.” He clenched his fist and swung it.

At that moment, he saw a flower seller on the street and hurriedly took out his wallet and said, “Quickly, buy a bouquet of flowers! We’re bad guests for boarding in the morning, so we can’t make our host angry.”

The two of them returned to the Zhu family building, looked at the time already eight thirty, which went upstairs and knocked on the door.

Yang Yuyan took the initiative to open the door when she heard the knock, she thought it was Su Chunjun, but didn’t want to open the door and see Shi Wuwei and Professor Dai.

She smiled and got out of the way, saying, “Welcome, welcome, mom! Professor Dai is here!”

Zhu Yanshu had been sitting on the sofa and yawning, she had gone to play cards all day again yesterday and had little energy when she got up in the morning. Hearing this, she secretly rolled her eyes and also hurriedly got up to welcome the guest with a smile.

She said, “Aiyo, your guest is here, your house is full of splendor, Zhang Ma, hurry up and fry two more dishes!”

Dai Yushu hurriedly raised the bouquet of flowers in his hand and handed it over with both hands, “Coming so early in the morning, I’m really sorry. It’s really because of Yan Yan’s words yesterday, which actually made this stupid student of mine enlightened, I’ve come here to say thank you!”

Zhu Yanshu took the flowers, her face had already eased, hearing this, she smiled and took hold of Yang Yuyan and said, “What can this little kid say that’s nice to hear? Did she make Mr. Shi angry?”

Why, you still come to the door to beg for trouble?

Zhu Yan Shu said, “Even if my daughter scolded someone, I can’t let my daughter apologize.

Yang Yuyan stared with a pair of big aura eyes and asked Shi Wuwei curiously, “Is it about women’s liberation?”

Shi Wuwei smiled bitterly, “It’s the emancipation of black slaves.”

Yang Yuyan was instantly offended, “What I talked about yesterday was clearly women’s liberation, how come you remembered the black slave emancipation? And what do the black slaves in America have to do with us?” How deafening her speech was yesterday, why was there no knowing voice!

Shi Wuwei’s mouth wasn’t sharp enough, and now it was extraordinarily laborious to explain. Dai Yushu hurriedly relieved him and said with a smile, “He himself has read books and knows these things, but has never thought deeply about it. This is not yesterday by you so a little, this only realized their own shortcomings, intends to go out to study!”

Zhu Yanshu immediately laughed, “Ya, congratulations!” She turned her head and called out to Zhang Ma, “Zhang Ma, prepare two more pairs of tableware.”

Zhang Ma came out from the kitchen, swept these two uninvited guests with the end of her eyes, and promised, “Okay, I’ll put down one more pot of noodles.”

Really, giving her a hard time early in the morning.
