The fate of the Republic of China is you

Chapter 26

Early the next morning, Uncle Xu said goodbye to Hou Shuyi and set off back to Wuxi.

When the driver Xiao Zhang appeared in front of the western-style building on Peitang Road, Lin Shurou just got off the rickshaw, and saw a classic car in front of the western-style building that had been unoccupied for a long time, took a second look, then turned and entered the western-style building In the apartment opposite.

He took out the key to open the door and went in. When he walked to the kitchen, he saw Zheng Jiawen wearing a white button-down jacket frying eggs.

"Another egg?" Lin Shurou stood at the door of the kitchen, far away from the frying pan, for fear of being splashed with oil.

Zheng Jiawen wiped his sweat with a sweatcloth and said with a smile: "There is no way, I can only fry eggs and cut bread."

"I'll bring you buns when I come tomorrow, you haven't had enough egg bread in Germany." Lin Shurou said and turned around, "When it's done, help me and Nian Nian heat it in the pot, I'm so sleepy , Watch Nian Nian and sleep again."

"Oh, good." Zheng Jiawen took a knife and shovel and put the eggs into the plate, then washed the pot, cut the bread, took out two slices of bread and a fried egg, put the rest into the pot, and brought it to the table by himself eat up.

After breakfast, Zheng Jiawen went to wash his hands, walked to the second bedroom, took a yellow gown and put it on, picked up the lesson plan and walked to the master bedroom, Fushen kissed Lin Shurou's forehead and said softly: "I'm going to school, The rice is in the pot, don't sleep for too long."

"Understood." Lin Shurou opened her eyes slightly, put her arms around Zheng Jiawen, kissed her lips, and let Zheng Jiawen go.

Zheng Jiawen walked out of the bedroom with a smile, and gently closed the door and left the house.

Walking out of the apartment, Zheng Jiawen took out the second-hand old pocket watch she bought yesterday to check the time. There was still more than an hour before work, which was more than enough time for her to walk to St. Lacey.

Just as Zheng Jiawen left, Hou Shuyi led Zheng Xianglan and Zheng Xiangtong into the car.

"Where are you going, madam?"

"Go according to the order of the school directory above." Hou Shuyi handed Xiao Zhang the primary school directory that Manager Qian had compiled for her yesterday.

"Okay, ma'am." Xiao Zhang said and started the car.

Hou Shuyi first went to Deji Primary School on Xiafei Road, stood at the door of the lecture hall and listened to it for five or six minutes, then took her daughter to the next school. When choosing a school, you must choose a good one. original intention.

"Ma'am, Saint Lacey is here." Xiao Zhang stopped the car.

Hou Shuyi got out of the car with her two daughters, and met Director Wang through the guard Hou Shuyi.

"Mrs. Zheng, it's been a long time. Let's have some tea first." Director Wang received a call from Manager Qian yesterday, and came to the school early in the morning to wait.

Hou Shuyi took the tea with both hands: "Thank you Director Wang."

Hou Shuyi put the tea on the table beside her, and sat down holding the cheongsam: "Xiang Lan, Xiang Tong, hello to Director Wang."

"Hello, Director Wang." Zheng Xianglan stood beside Hou Shuyi in a dignified manner with her schoolbag on her back.

"Hello, Miss Zheng." Director Wang raised the corner of his mouth, took out a form and handed it to Hou Shuyi on the table, "Mrs. Zheng, do you want to fill it out first? If you like Miss Zheng in class later Just go in and listen to the class, if you don't like it then just let it go."

After hearing the words, Hou Shuyi felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she took a pen and filled in Zheng Xianglan's name.

"Mrs. Zheng, follow me." Director Wang took the completed form and led Hou Shuyi to the classroom.

"Yesterday I told you the story of Cangjie's creation of characters. Today, before we formally learn Chinese characters, I would like to ask, what is the most important thing to build a tall building?" Zheng Jiawen asked standing in the lecture hall.

"Sir." A female student in the front row raised her hand, "My father told me that the most important thing in building a building is to lay a good foundation."

"That's right, the building can only be solid after laying a good foundation. These Chinese characters are like the foundation of Chinese studies. If you don't learn Chinese characters well, learning Chinese studies will be very difficult." Zheng Jiawen smiled and took out two ropes, one thick and one thin, from his bag.

At this time, Hou Shuyi was led to the door of the classroom by Director Wang.

When Hou Shuyi looked in, she was stunned at the door. It was her, and Hou Shuyi's heart was overwhelmed.

"Look at the rope in my hand. Our ancestors used to tie knots on the rope to remember numbers." Zheng Jiawen tied the rope with three knots. "In ancient times, there were no pens and paper, and there were no Chinese characters. That number, they'll tie three knots."

Zheng Jiawen walked to the podium, picked up the chalk and wrote a three-character.

"Three, we don't need to tie three knots on the rope now, just pick up the pen and draw three times to get three." Zheng Jiawen looked at the group of female students below and smiled, "Who can tell me how to write one and two now? "

As soon as Zheng Jiawen finished speaking, some students raised their hands, and Zheng Jiawen asked the leftmost student in the first row to come up and write.

Although the writing is immature, it is all correct, Zheng Jiawen said with a smile: "That's right, let's write four and five next."

The student heard that he drew four horizontal lines and five horizontal lines next to Er.

"Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with it. If you ask me how many horizontal lines this is, I will say four, which can indeed represent four. But what if I ask you to write a hundred?"

"Sir, you're exhausting me." The student shook his hand.

Zheng Jiawen smiled and said: "Chinese characters will not make you tired, go back to your seat first." Zheng Jiawen took back the chalk, looked down and said: "Let's see, one and two are completely correct, so how to write four? "

Outside the classroom, Hou Shuyi forgot her original intention of comparing several schools, and booked the school her daughter attended on the spot. Director Wang happily stepped forward and knocked on the classroom door.

"Mr. Tao, come out."

Zheng Jiawen heard that he didn't know what happened, and said to the students after the director went out: "Now open your simple ink cartridges, first contact one, two, three on paper, and I will come back later and choose the best one."

After Zheng Jiawen finished speaking, he left the classroom.

Director Wang introduced to Zheng Jiawen: "Mr. Tao, come, this is Mrs. Zheng, who specially sent her daughter to study in our school today. I will assign Miss Zheng to your class. You should take care of her."

"Mr. Tao." Hou Shuyi faced Zheng Jiawen, and for some reason, stretched out her hand.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiawen handed up his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Mrs. Zheng." After Zheng Jiawen said hello, he naturally withdrew his hand, glanced at the two children beside him, and looked at Hou Shuyi in surprise. There is such a big girl at such a young age. Daughter, it is so well maintained.

"Oh, Mr. Tao, here is Miss Zheng's enrollment form, please take a look."

"Zheng Xianglan?" Zheng Jiawen thought of his nephews and nieces far away in Guangzhou for a moment, and he quickly thought about it. The children of his relatives in his family were not so old. Same.

"Hello, sir." Zheng Xianglan asked when he heard her husband calling her name.

"Okay, okay." Zheng Jiawen held the admission form and said, "Director, Mrs. Zheng, if there is nothing else, I will take Zheng to class."

"Go, go, don't delay teaching the students." Director Wang urged with a wave of his hand.

Zheng Jiawen stretched out his hand and led Zheng Xianglan to the classroom.

Zheng Xianglan turned around and waved to Hou Shuyi and her sister.

"Sister." Zheng Xiangtong took two short steps before being hugged by Hou Shuyi, "No, my sister is going to class to learn knowledge, don't disturb me, Auntie will take you to play somewhere else, come pick me up at noon Sister is going to eat."

Hou Shuyi is in a good mood, because of this unexpected encounter.

"Director Wang, is this Mr. Tao teaching for the first time?" Hou Shuyi talked with Director Wang while walking.

"Yes, regardless of her young age, she is a talented woman who has never forgotten her photograph. She has a double master's degree in physics and literature in Germany." Director Wang was afraid that Mrs. Zheng in front of her would question the strength of the school's teachers.

Hou Shuyi nodded and walked to the teacher's notice board. She saw the school's teacher introduction. It turned out that her name was Tao Yinzhi.

At this moment in the apartment on Peitang Road, Lin Shurou woke up. After dressing Zheng Nian again, she caught a glimpse of the photo on the bedside table and held it in her hand. The person in the photo smiled really happily.

"Nian Nian, is this your mother?" Lin Shurou felt sour in her heart. Even though she knew that the woman in the photo had passed away long ago, she felt uncomfortable seeing the smile on Zheng Jiawen's face. , that woman can have such a good baby as Nian Nian.

"Yeah." Zheng Nian nodded, and stretched out his hand to pick up the photo. He was holding the photo in his little hand and was about to put it in his pocket, but Lin Shurou stopped him.

Lin Shurou sharp-eyed saw the words on the back of the photo, and when she held it in her hand to see clearly, Lin Shurou's mood sank to the bottom.It was written so clearly in the photo, how dare she, Zheng Jiawen, lie to her that there is nothing between them?

"Aunt Lin, what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, you're hungry, let's go eat first." Lin Shurou returned the photo to Zheng Nian, and took Zheng Nian to the kitchen.

During the meal, Lin Shurou glanced at Zheng Nian several times. After swallowing the egg in her mouth, Lin Shurou approached Zheng Nian and asked, "Nian Nian, how do I treat you?"

"Okay, Aunt Lin is super nice to Niannian." Zheng Nian was holding a fried egg in his hand, looking sideways at Lin Shurou with his small head.

"Then, Zheng Jiawen treats you better or I treat you better?"

"Aye and Aunt Lin treat me well." Zheng Nian replied.

"Then, I'll treat you well. You can't treat one more favorably than another. Since you call her Aye, can you call me Aniang?" Lin Shurou seduced her in an orderly manner.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Nian looked down at the fried egg in his hand, and whispered for a long time, "Yes, but I have a mother."

"Then you still kissed Aye before, didn't you call Zheng Jiawen Aye?" Lin Shurou was dissatisfied.

"Aunt Lin, there was no Aye before Niannian, and there was only one Aye in Niannian." Niannian said aggrievedly.

Lin Shurou stroked her forehead and said, "Well, Nian Nian, you call me A Niang, and I will treat you as your own daughter for the rest of my life, okay?"

Zheng Nian fell silent upon hearing this.

Lin Shurou waited for a long time, silently put down the bread she took a bite of, and then stood up.

Zheng Nian was flustered, children are very sensitive, she could feel Lin Shurou's unhappiness, she quickly jumped off the stool, hugged Lin Shurou's leg, raised her head and said, "Aunt Lin, why are you crying?"

Lin Shurou tilted her head and wiped away her tears. If Zheng Jiawen and Zheng Nian's mother had that kind of relationship before, and Zheng Nian refused to call her mother, then she would have no way to persuade herself to get rid of the grudge, and even, it is even possible She Zheng Jiawen is a jerk.

Various images appeared in Lin Shurou's mind. Zheng Jiawen first got along with him, and then he cruelly abandoned Nian Nian's mother when he went abroad, which caused Nian Nian's mother to marry and give birth to Nian Nian. What she guessed was true, she must kill Zheng Jiawen.

"Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin." Zheng Nian saw the tears on Lin Shurou's face, the child was completely panicked, and the little heart was filled with helplessness and fear.

"You really don't want to call me aunt?" Lin Shurou lowered her head and asked.

Zheng Nian cried helplessly.

"Okay, stop crying. If you don't want to cry, don't cry. Let's wait for Zheng Jiawen to come back and make it clear." Lin Shurou saw Zheng Nian crying, and couldn't bear it. She suppressed the lump in her heart and hugged Zheng Nian stand up.
