Chapter 27 You are simply invincible
After a while, the two children were already having a lot of chats. When they were almost home, they talked about various children's games and started talking about the recent movies. Originally, the Barthleys were worried that An Feng had insufficient vocabulary, but then they found that An Feng easily dealt with the conversation and began to dominate the conversation.
Barthley's father believed that An Feng's accent was already very pure. Leeds City's English belongs to the Northern English accent, and in the UK only the accent of the West End of London is the "gold standard" English. The accent in the East Suburbs of London is called "poor English". An Feng learned it from nowhere, and he spoke a pure "golden English" in a radio accent.
The Barthleys live in a wealthy area in the southwest of Leeds. Generally, families who can receive exchange students, at least the local middle class, require the host family to be caring and have no criminal record during the review. The Barthleys couple have both jobs, and their mothers also work in a nursing home under government agencies, which is equivalent to a state public official.
The entire community where Bartley's family lives is a single-family villa. In front of the villa is Highway A58, and behind the villa is a large piece of farmland and green space. Walk along the road A58 in front of the door, and you can reach the University of Leeds in the city by 20 minutes' drive. There are several railways distributed near this highway to the whole of the UK. Therefore, this community has convenient transportation and is quiet.
Carefully, Bartley's father saw that it was still early, so he deliberately asked the car to turn a corner before entering the house, so that An Feng could take a look at his school and the environment on the side of the school, and recognize the way home from the school. The school where An Feng is not far away, and it only takes about fifteen minutes to walk. Next to the campus is a large park (green space), which is a completely open public green space. There is no ticket to enter and exit, and there is no door wall.
It's just after the New Year, and the park is covered with snow. In the center of the garden, a piece of open space is surrounded by an ice skating rink. The people skaters are all children of the same size as An Feng and Scarlett. Bartley's father parked the car on the side of the ice skating rink, got out of the car and led two little people around, pointed to the rink and said apologetically: "Villa and I were busy with work and didn't have the chance to skate with Scarlett. I think Scarlett must be lonely... Kane, if you want, can you take Scarlett to skate tomorrow?"
An Feng agreed without hesitation. Barthley's father immediately smiled happily, and he greeted: "Get in the car, let's go to the supermarket."
Villa's mother seemed to understand Barthley's father's purpose. She led everyone on the bus without saying a word. Barthley's father hit the steering wheel and led everyone around the community to the supermarket next to him. The car was parked in the supermarket parking lot. An Feng looked up at the sign... Oh, familiar, Carrefour Supermarket.
Everyone got out of the car, and Bartley's father pointed to a device next to the car and introduced: "Kain, look, this is the logo of Carrefour supermarket - Carrefour all around the world allows RVs to be parked for free, this is the interface for adding water and charging the RVs."
As he said that, Bartley's father pointed to the villa group on the left side of the parking lot, and introduced: "It's our home. Scarlett is going to skate tomorrow, and we didn't prepare skates for her... Haha, I guess you won't come to the UK with skates on your back. Let's go to the supermarket and equip my skatemen."
An Feng did not bring ice skates, and An Feng's luggage was very simple when he went abroad. But after arriving in London, his luggage expanded rapidly, and his things were filled with four large luggage bags. There were three high-performance laptops, some laundry changes, mini recorders, etc., and all kinds of indescribable use, plus two good quality baseball bats, but there were no ice skates.
Since Bartley's father is polite, An Feng is not polite.
Barthres bought a pair of Norwegian ice skates for An Feng. The brand name is "ice skates". Because "ice skates" were invented by Norwegians, it was later agreed that this trademark name became the common name for such professional sports shoes.
In addition to ice skates, Barthley's father also carefully purchased antifreeze ear cups and gloves for An Feng and Scarlett, and then led everyone back to their nests.
This home looks very crude, and can even be said to be "dashed" but has a very British characteristic. The exterior wall made of large British red bricks is probably forty years old. The British-style windowsill is wide enough for an adult to lie horizontally. The red bricks on the exterior wall are outlined with white cement, making the entire wall look like a painting board covered with red and white square patterns. When you open the square window with white painted iron flowers, there is an apple tree outside the window - until April, you will probably have a fragrance of apple flowers in the yard.
This old house has three floors in total, and An Feng is placed in the room on Chaoyang on the second floor. Next to his room is empty, diagonally opposite is Scarlett's bedroom, and directly opposite is Scarlett's doll house. The last room on the corridor on the second floor is a large suite with a bathroom. The boarding father and boarding mother live on the first floor. There is no one on the third floor. It is said that old toys and old miscellaneous items that are not used for the time being are piled up.
In addition to the living room, bathroom, parents' bedroom, and a study room on the first floor. The living room is open and directly connects to the kitchen, so there is also a brick-sealed fireplace in the house - but this fireplace is a fake, just serving as a decorative function.
The room was very warm, and a slight buzzing sound from inside the room reminded An Feng that the heating equipment of this house might be a diesel wall-mounted boiler. It is estimated that at least one tanker truck will be burned in winter... Rich people.
An Feng estimated in his mind that although the housing prices in Leeds City are cheap, it would probably cost about 200,000 pounds to own such a noble community... Oh, this house cannot be called a "villa" in foreigners' words. This kind of unique house is called a "house" in foreigners' words, and the residence in the city's buildings is called an "apartment". "Villa" refers to a country palace-style building community with various buildings.
As for palace-style buildings... the word "White House" literally translates as "white house". It can be seen that the "villa" mentioned by foreigners is not the same as the "villa" mentioned in domestic advertisements.
After visiting the supermarket, everyone was finished home. Fortunately, Batley's father purchased fast food from the supermarket, and the supper was cooked with fast food. After the meal, Mom Vera changed into new bed sheets for An Feng. She introduced her while making the bed for An Feng, "Kane, the security in Leeds City is not good, but it is absolutely impossible to say. During the day, the city is very safe, at night... at night, the city is only one district in this city is quite chaotic: India-Pakistan... Oh, I don't say that, it's racism, I'm just a statement.
An Feng smiled slightly: "There is a reason."
After putting on his clothes, An Feng opened the door and went out to pick up newspapers. Seeing that there was still snow on the road entering and exiting the door, An Feng picked up a shovel from the lawn in front of the door and began to clean the snow. His movements were very light, but he did not expect that such a slight movement would wake up the boarding father and the boarding mother. After all, an outsider suddenly moved into the house, and the adults were probably more nervous than the villain.
The boarding father stood in front of his bedroom window, looked at An Feng's movements, and suddenly picked up the phone and dialed the number left by Dr. Zhou. Dr. Zhou's sleepy voice came from the phone. Bartley quickly apologized: "Please forgive me, Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry for disturbing you so early. We broke up in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't have time to ask about Kane's situation. I want to know whether Kane has not adapted to the jet lag yet?"
Dr. Zhou laughed on the phone: "Why, he woke you up? Haha, I knew... I'm sorry, um, what should I say?"
Barthley asked: "Please tell me."
"He is a child with extraordinary intelligence," Dr. Zhou said bluntly: "His intelligence is beyond your imagination. Please treat him as an adult and communicate equally, so that you can get along with each other."
"How extraordinary is it?" Barthley asked.
"Oh, facing his IQ, you will feel that your previous life was wasted." Dr. Zhou couldn't hold back his smile. Now, it's your turn to be tortured. Haha, this feeling is really good.
"He slept very little every day, but he was full of energy when he was awake. He could spend ten minutes reading the Times, and then when you asked him where the location and content of each small advertisement in the newspaper, he could tell you as clearly. Oh, he was very sensitive to numbers, and his math level... I think there are many adults who are not as good as this. Do you want me to continue talking about this?"
Barthel was horrified. It took him a long time to choke and ask, "Are you all like this kind of children in your country?... Oh my God, you are simply invincible."
Of course, the last sentence is the favorite "add" of the People's Daily.
Dr. Zhou laughed and hung up the phone. Barthley's father stood in front of the window and couldn't speak. Vera's mother also put on her clothes and shouted, "Bartley, it's very cold outside, you put on more clothes."
As she said that, she got up and grabbed a thick velvet pajama, walked to the window and put it on Barthley. She looked at An Feng Shaoxue's back outside the window, and then gently hugged her husband's stunned body and asked, "What did he say?"
Barthley's father retelled Dr. Zhou's words at a loss, and Yusang asked: "This..., what do you think we should do?"
Villa's mother gently hugged Barthley's father, lowered her voice and giggled: "We Scarlett have a good brother, what? Do you think he and Scarlett will get along well?"
