The dormitory arranged by Luo Ke for Feng Fu is right behind the classroom. It is a newly built two-story wooden building. It is not as big as the classroom, but it has bright and clean windows and complete facilities. You can move in with just a bag.
As soon as Feng Fu went to the carpeted bedroom on the second floor to put down his luggage, there was a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a young Boer girl. Feng Fu didn't know the girl's purpose. He had no friends in Oak Town.
"Sir, my name is Kate. Officer Jeffery has arranged for me to be responsible for the sanitation here." Kate is very young, definitely no more than 20 years old. Her skin is as shiny as a girl of this age should be. Although her clothes are a bit shabby, they are
After being washed clean, she looked at Feng Fu with curiosity mixed with fear, which made Feng Fu feel flattered.
When Feng Fu worked at the Qing Customs, all the white people he saw were arrogant and domineering, and they would never look squarely at Chinese employees like Feng Fu. At that time, the way Feng Fu and other Chinese employees looked at white people was...
Exactly the same as the Boer girl in front of Feng Fu.
When he was in the Qing Dynasty, Feng Fu never thought there was anything wrong with Chinese people being humble in front of white people. The imperial court had to bow down in front of foreign adults, not to mention low-level employees like Feng Fu who worked in the customs. Unexpectedly, when they came to Cape
Dun, it was a white man who looked down upon the Chinese, which made Feng Fu straighten his back immediately.
"Then I'll trouble you." Feng Fu didn't know who the "Officer Jeffrey" Kate mentioned was, but he thought it was Rock's arrangement, so it's better to be respectful than to obey.
Kate didn't dare to answer this. She lowered her head and passed by Feng Fu. She started working as soon as she entered the door. Her hands and feet were quite nimble.
Feng Fu couldn't accept it for a while.
"Is this Mr. Feng?" Someone suddenly called out to him by the fence outside the lawn. He was a Chinese police officer in uniform and wearing the sergeant's badge. There was a woman and three children beside him. The police officer was holding a wooden
box, each of the three children held a bottle of wine in their arms.
"It's Feng. I wonder what the police officer wants to do with Feng?" Facing the uniform, Feng Fu did not dare to neglect, and quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Having experience working in the customs, Feng Fu had a natural fear of uniforms. The Qing Customs also had Chinese police officers, but at the level of sergeant, they were all foreigners, and their attitude towards Chinese customs employees was also very bad. p>
"Hehehe, Mr. Feng, I've been waiting for you to come -" The police chief smiled heartily and his attitude was very enthusiastic. Feng Fu suddenly came back to his senses, yes, this is Cape, and all Chinese can be inspectors.
, there is nothing strange about being a police chief, not to mention that the police chief is still carrying something in his hand, and it seems that he is not looking for trouble.
"Mr. Feng, I am Anton, the police chief here. I heard that Mr. Feng is here. I brought these useless things of mine to Mr. Feng's place first to make myself familiar. Small gifts are not a sign of respect. The children will come in later.
In school, I need to ask more of Mr. Feng. If you don’t obey, you should be beaten or scolded. Tell me later, and I will continue to beat and scold you--" Anton is very enthusiastic. Chinese people always respect their teachers, and twenty
A century is a different story.
In fact, this is not the case. Qualified teachers in the 21st century are equally respected by students and parents. What really changes all this is the black sheep among the teachers. For the teaching industry, it is really
A mouse droppings spoils a pot of soup. Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. In the Internet age, small mistakes will be magnified infinitely, ultimately affecting the overall image of the teaching team.
There was no Internet in 1900, but Feng Fu had never experienced this level of respect before, so Feng Fu was really flattered now.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Feng is new here, and he will not receive any reward for his merits -" Feng Fu still wanted to refuse.
"Yes, yes, sir, you are thousands of miles away from home, and your hard work has paid off. These are cigars that are abundant in Havana, and wine made by my family. A mere gift is not disrespectful. Sir, please do not refuse-" Anton insisted, stuffing the box in his hand.
To Feng Fu, the three children cheered and slipped past Feng Fu like loaches holding bottles.
The woman next to Anton walked up to Feng Fu and bowed respectfully, then took the wooden box from Feng Fu's hand with a smile and walked into the house.
Feng Fu still wanted to refuse, but someone came over from outside the fence: "But Mr. Feng in person?"
Feng Fu turned around. This time there were two police officers. One of them was a knight who had just returned from hunting. He was carrying two washed and skinned rabbits, followed by two and a half-year-old children. The children were holding
Or wine, two bottles per person.
Before Feng Fu could reply, the knight laughed and teased Anton: "Master An is still well-informed. I just knew Mr. Feng was coming, so I came to visit him non-stop. Unexpectedly, I was a step too late."
"Hahahahaha, Lao Gao, you are not slow, hurry up, dog, leopard, come here to pay homage to Mr." Anton laughed loudly. According to Chinese tradition, Anton is the first to come to pay homage, then Anton's children will
If you can join Feng Fu's family first, this position cannot be messed up.
Gouzi and Leopard are the names of the two children. Children from poor families are not particular about naming. The cheaper the name, the easier it is to support them.
The dog and the leopard were very obedient. They put the wine in their arms in front of them, knelt down and started kowtowing.
"Get up, get up, how can this be done?" Feng Fu was overwhelmed and was in a hurry.
"Mr. Sir, you have come all the way from afar, and you have worked so hard -" Gao De also has a generous heart. There are no teachers in Oak Town, so the children can only learn nonsense from foreigners. Now that they finally have a teacher, they must be respectful to the teacher.
Respectfully.
"You are all quick. I also said that my husband and I are neighbors. I will come over to visit him after he settles down. I didn't expect that you took advantage of this." A police officer came out of the house next to him and handed over to Feng Fu through the fence.
Salute: "Sir, don't be surprised. We are neighbors. If you have anything to do in the future, just say hello. My name is Martin. Sir, just call me Lao Ma."
"How dare you, how dare you, meet your superior neighbor——" Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and Feng Fu dare not neglect Lao Ma.
"Uh, sir, dinner has been prepared in Humble House -" Li De arrived late.
"No, no, sir, you have come all the way, so I should treat you to this first meal." Anton didn't give Li De a chance. Li De's family is large and powerful, with more than twenty children. If the teacher is partial, what will happen?
I have time to take care of those "insignificant things" in Anton's family——
"I will treat you to this meal. My husband and I are neighbors." Martin also wanted to fight for it.
"I have already brought them. The rabbits I just shot are fresh. Sir, please wait for me for a moment -" Gothe also has a chance.
"My father asked me to invite Mr.——" Li De moved out of the elders.
Having moved all the elders out, it was not easy to argue. Anton rolled his eyes and still had an idea: "Then let's go together!"
