A+ A- Turn Off Light

The Japanese “rescue” had a good effect.

The streets began to have pedestrians.

Although they are still in a hurry, yellow face, but finally dare to go out.

Zhu Yuyan, with the generation of Yucan, Shi Wuwei together in the car, we are ready to go to the department store, Professor generation drive.

Professor generation is still all the way honking the car horn, even if the road is almost no one, but also to prevent someone rushed to the road.

Now the road, there is no traffic light, all the pedestrians, vehicles, all walk as they wish, especially pedestrians, they may be afraid, may be accustomed to, cross the road when always cold suddenly rushed out, head straight ahead, do not look at the road.

Zhu Yuyan even saw someone is squeezing the eyes.

Although I can understand that people who have not seen the car crossing the road will be nervous …… but then nervous can not close their eyes!

So as long as the road is a car, whether it is a car, bicycle, motorcycle, even if it is a yellow car, are open while ringing the bell, there is no bell on the shouting all the way.

It is to avoid people rushing out.

All the way bla bla bla to the department store.

Here is still a lot of traffic. All kinds of cars converge here, permed hair modern ladies and gentlemen walking arm in arm.

The waiters in front of the door are still Indian and the Chinese waiters are fewer.

The biggest change is that the flags in front of the department store have been changed. Last time they were British flags, but today they are all Japanese flags.

Their mission today is to all pretend to be British and let Shi Wuwei do the shopping.

Zhu Yuyan and Dai Yucan wore Zhu Yanshu’s old dresses, the two girls wore hats and silk gloves, and stood arm in arm when they got out of the car, attracting a lot of stares.

Shi Wuwei’s hands were full of cold sweat, and he was afraid that Dai Yuchan would touch the cold sweat on his palms when he was holding her.

Dai Yuchan whispered in English, “Calm down. Do you remember what you want to buy?”

Shi Wuwei’s memory was very good, even now that he was so nervous, he smoothly replied, “Remember. Luggage, leather shoes, belt ……”

Shi Wuwei was going to study abroad, then he needed to prepare enough luggage.

Although there was money to buy it anywhere, Prof. Dai was experienced and said, “It’s best to buy it all in China. Otherwise, when you get to England, you may need to memorize your ancestry again before you go to the store to buy something.”

Although the United Kingdom is a developed country, and is now the center of the world, but they do not have many immigrants in their own country, the British are very xenophobic.

Prof. Dai: “The British look down on everyone in the world, so don’t feel bad about the British treating you badly when you get to the UK, they look down on almost everyone. The British themselves despise each other.”

The English are very family-oriented and love to discuss their ancestors no matter what they do. If an ancestor was a prominent nobleman, and now the descendant is down and out, that is sure to invite ridicule; on the other hand, if an ancestor was a shoemaker, blacksmith, baker, or tailor, and the descendant is well off, then people will make fun of his ancestor.

Shi Wuwei was just at the bottom of the chain of contempt. His life after repeated enrichment has become more and more detailed, now he is his mother is an English lady, thin assets, met a Chinese nobleman at sea, the two fell in love, then the Chinese nobleman died of illness, the English lady’s mother was overly grieved, only had time to leave a letter of trust to Prof. Dai also passed away.

Prof. Dai dutifully sends the teenager home, but the teenager is brutally rejected and abandoned by the family, driving him out of the house.

On the other hand, Yuchan is a rich Chinese lady whom Shi Wuwei tricked while he was in China, and the two of them eloped after a lifelong engagement, and Shi Wuwei brought her to England to get married to her.

Both of them are equal to the broken love, in addition to money, nothing else.

Originally, the public school where Shi Wuwei went to school was allowed to bring servants in, but the bedrooms were restricted to male servants only, and female servants could only be found in the kitchen. Therefore, the generation of jade cicadas will have to rent a house in the village or town near the public school and wait for him to come out on vacation in order to meet with each other.

It is true that there are women’s schools in London, but they are all church girls’ schools, and they need to be baptized in a local church in England and have the recommendation of their alumni in order to be enrolled.

Dai Yucang could only find a chance to enroll in the school slowly, and this chance was in Shi Wuwei. Only he could get the help of the professors after studying in the public school, and then he could get the recommendation from the professors and send Yuhuan to enroll in the school. Before that, Dai Yuchan needed to make a little achievement in the local church, such as to believe in God, so that the priest would be willing to write a letter of recommendation for her even after he was familiar with her.

The good thing is that the UK does not restrict women from enrolling in school and working, and even has a hidden intention to support them, and the whole society’s atmosphere is upward. Therefore, even if Yucchan is a foreigner, as long as there is no problem with her identity, her chances of successful enrollment are still very high.

After Professor Dai’s step-by-step explanation, Shi Wuwei realized that he had a huge responsibility on him.

In the conservative society of England, as a male, he was the strongest and most powerful protector of Dai Yuchan. London’s morale is not good, there are many brothels and abductors, crooks, thieves and robbers everywhere. It is dangerous for a single woman to be in the city.

That’s why the first visit of Dai Yuchan settling down is best accomplished by the two of them together.

Whether renting an apartment or going to church, it is safest for him to go with Yuchan on his arm, and for him to introduce the identity and relationship between the two of them, and for him to “admit” that they are an unmarried couple.

Afterwards, when Dai Yuchan enrolled in school, he, the fiancé, should also be the one to personally send his fiancée to school and ask the teacher to take care of her.

His status is actually equivalent to her parents.

Therefore, if something went wrong with him, then he would have jeopardized the lives of two people.

Zhu Yuyan watched in amazement as Shi Wuwei stumbled but completed the entire purchasing process without a single mistake.

He used a London accent to talk to the counter uncles, gave orders to the Indian waiters, carefully took care of Dai Yuchan, and would hold her arm in between actions, asking for her opinion, discussing the color of the bowtie with her and so on.

Even if there was still a bit of greenness, it was already considered highly accomplished.

Zhu Yuyan marveled, “Fantastic, he was still nervous before he came out.”

She thought it would fail, thinking that this kind of training would take at least two or three times to achieve the effect, but she didn’t expect it to succeed in one go.

Professor Dai sighed, “Wuwei is a bit timid, he needs a bit of motivation.”

This was also the aftermath of being a habitual slave. Dai Yushu had a bit of it himself, so he was extraordinarily able to understand Shi Wuwei. Shi Wuwei’s family had been serfs for generations, and obedience was already something that had been engraved into his bloodline. He won’t resist or think, just like a donkey, as long as he is blindfolded he will keep circling around, when he sees the whip raised he will tremble in fear, when he sees the food lees he will think he is going to eat, all his behaviors and thoughts are trained and rigid.

He would have gone to study abroad because of the cajoling and coercion of the young proprietor, and if there had not been this push from the young proprietor, he would have resigned himself to being an underling in the oil mill for the rest of his life. At that time, his greatest expectation was that he could be a bookkeeper in the future, to manage the accounts for the young proprietor, that is the heart of the family, not as close as brothers and sisters, would not let him do the bookkeeper, he felt that the future of the oil factory bookkeeper position, he was not.

As a result, the young proprietor tricked him into getting on the ship, the ship sailed, and then stopped when he had already arrived in England.

Shi Wuwei’s ability to run away from his hometown and run to the university to take the examination for the Candidate of the Xiu Cai had been the boldest thing he had ever done in his life, and that was still under the threat of death.

Life in the university was already very peaceful, so he actually didn’t want to go at all, no matter how many times he said he was willing to study abroad, it was because Professor Dai wanted him to go.

He still didn’t take much initiative himself.

Now with the belief that he had to protect Dai Yuchan in place, Shi Wuwei was considered to have a real drive.

He had to do his best. Other than the best, the rest of the degree was substandard.

Only by doing his best could he ensure that his and Dai Yuchan’s life in England would be safe and smooth.

After buying many things to go back, the Little Red House was piled high, and it took the four of them two or three trips back and forth to finish carrying the things.

When Zhang Ma saw so many things, she was willing to put down the radio and came over to take a closer look, saying one by one, “Your mom also has a few of this brand.” or “Your mom also has a few of this brand.” Or, “This brand of tie I remember cost sixty dollars, so expensive for such a piece of cloth.”

Shi Wuwei wouldn’t bring a manservant, so all the clothes had to be left for the school’s maids to clean. According to Professor Dai’s experience, the maids’ laundry depended on their mood, sometimes they would wash and bring it on time, sometimes they would put it off for a week or two, or even a semester or two, and in the end things naturally disappeared.

The most commonly lost items were socks and ties, and shirts were often sent and brought back as if they had never been washed.

So, said Prof. Day, “Buy more socks, buy cheaper ties, buy flowered shirts, and just buy more shirt collars in white.”

If you wanted the maids to bring the laundry in time, you could either pay them or fall in love with them.

Professor Dai didn’t choose either at the time, he chose to make friends with the school bully of the time, join the trendy clubs, and was soon remembered by name, and the maids were never delayed.

Unfortunately, this one didn’t suit Shi Wuwei.

He whispers to Zhu Yanshu that he suspects Shi Wuwei will be the poor little thing being bullied at school.

Prof. Dai: “As long as he’s caught once brushing shoes and washing clothes by himself, then soon enough, the clothes and shoes of the entire dormitory building will be his.”

And Shi Wuwei loved to work.

Though gardening was valued in public schools, that was limited to growing flowers, not land.

Prof. Day: “He’ll turn out to be a farm boy, a character like Hans in the barn, and probably get nicknames.”

It was almost time to send the child out the door, and Prof. Dai began to get nervous.

Zhu Yan Shu had to comfort him, “Relax, Wu Wei still looks like he can take a beating.” A farmer’s son with a sturdy body.

Prof. Dai: “I taught him to join the school’s Boxing Club, so at least not many people will look for him to fight.”

Zhu Yanshu looked at him and was on the verge of envisioning Shi Wuwei’s study abroad life from enrollment to after graduation.
