In the next two months, Zhou Hexuan stayed in the UK, spending time with his wife and children enjoying themselves.
At this time, London was probably the most polluted city in the world. The air was filled with the smell of sulfur, the sky was always foggy, the Thames River was colorful, and no one dared to eat the fish caught from the river.
Fortunately, London has a lot of rain, which greatly reduces the air pollution. If it is sunny for a week, even the rain will be black, which will be extremely scary.
However, this is a symbol of industrial civilization. China wants this kind of pollution but cannot get it.
For the health of his wife and children, Zhou Hexuan has been living in the suburbs of London, and occasionally takes his family for a walk in north-central England. However, the serialization of "Legend of the Galaxy Heroes" has been much faster, which has greatly fascinated British science fiction fans. Some people even suggested that Zhou Hexuan simply
Forget about immigrating to the UK.
During Zhou Hexuan's stay in England, many major events happened.
On December 2, Chang Kaishen reorganized the Nanjing National Government and appointed himself President of the Executive Council, completing the last step of his dictatorship, while Wang Zhaoming completely lost power.
On December 9, the "December 9 Movement" led by the Communist Party of China broke out, setting off a wave of nationwide resistance against Japan.
On January 2, students from Beijing and Tianjin went south to carry out large-scale anti-Japanese propaganda.
On January 28, the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance was established, with Yang Jingyu, Zhou Baozhong, and Li Zhaolin serving as commanders-in-chief of the Third Route Army respectively.
On February 17, the Chinese Anti-Japanese Vanguard Army composed of the Red Army issued the "Declaration of the Eastern Expedition".
On February 20, the Chinese Anti-Japanese Vanguard Army forcibly crossed the Yellow River and began the Red Army's Eastern Expedition.
On February 26, young Japanese military officers launched the "226 Coup", which failed, and the Japanese government became completely militarized.
By the way, the King of England has also changed. Prince Albert's brother was successfully crowned and was called "Edward VIII". He also made noises about marrying a woman who had been married twice as his queen, embarking on a journey of love that he did not love.
The legendary journey of beauty.
…
Country house outside London.
Ruan Lingyu and Zhou Xuan lived in the hotel for two and a half months and were finally allowed to move into the villa.
At this moment, four women, Zhang Leyi, Wanrong, Liao Yaquan and Ruan Lingyu, were sitting together playing mahjong.
Zhang Leyi is very good at poker and has won a lot of money. She is very happy.
Liao Yaquan was anxious to lose. Money was a trivial matter, but she felt that she was losing face, so she secretly hid her cards and cheated.
Wanrong is a little absent-minded. She has recently become obsessed with oil painting, and it is romantic landscape painting that has become outdated. She often goes to the Courtauld Institute of Art to communicate and learn with the painters and professors there, and even has the idea of enrolling in school.
The romantic "ink stain paintings" and "watercolor paintings" created by Wanrong amazed London painters. In fact, they are similar to Chinese splash-ink freehand paintings. Western painters excitedly created so-called "ink paintings" 100 years ago.
"stain painting", but little did they know that China already had a more advanced "splashed ink painting".
At this moment, although Wanrong was sitting on the mahjong table, she was imagining a new game in her heart, and sometimes she didn't know when she was playing cards.
Ruan Lingyu faced her three sisters and played cards with caution and trepidation. Fortunately, her card skills were not very good, so she did not need to deliberately give up cards. She only had to play to her true level.
"Bang! Three pieces." Zhang Leyi shouted with great momentum.
"Haha, what a fool!" Liao Yaquan smiled and pushed the tiles. When he put his hands down to collect the money, he took the opportunity to put back the two mahjong pieces he had replaced.
Zhang Leyi glanced at Liao Yaquan's cards, frowned and said, "All the cards so soon?"
Liao Yaquan said proudly: "I can't help it, my luck is back."
This high-ranking spy sent by the Japanese military has completely degenerated. He actually plays mahjong every day and cheats, and he still enjoys it.
Ruan Lingyu timidly flattered, "Sister Liao plays cards really well."
After saying this, Ruan Lingyu was afraid of offending Zhang Leyi, so she quickly added: "Eldest sister also plays well and wins every time."
Zhang Leyi rolled her eyes helplessly. Ruan Lingyu's cowardice made her angry and funny, and she really couldn't hate her. If it were someone a little stronger, like Liao Yaquan, Zhang Leyi would never let her into the house again.
In the garden outside the house, Xiao Lingjun stood in front of a small blackboard, holding a branch in his hand as a pointer, and said to his two younger brothers: "This is the word 'country', read it with me... country, the country of China!"
"Country, China's country!"
Two brothers, Shuoming and Yang Chen, who just turned 3 last month, are learning to read from their elder sister while quietly playing with their toys.
On the other side of the garden, Vivien Leigh was competing with Meng Xiaodong in singing Peking Opera. Several British servants who had finished their work were standing far away, enjoying the wonderful performances of the two hostesses for free.
"You broke my pistol, please pay me back!"
"If you don't pay compensation, you broke it yourself."
"It's you who broke it, please pay for it immediately."
"I don't have a pistol, only a sword."
"Then give me your sword."
"No compensation, this is the sword my father made for me."
"Give it to me quickly!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuah...brother steal my sword."
The two little guys suddenly started fighting. Liao Yaquan's son, Yang Bi, was pushed to the ground by Wan Rong's son, Shuoming. He was crying and shouting, clutching a wooden sword and refusing to let go.
Xiao Lingjun is 6 and a half years old, and she looks like a teacher. She waved her pointer and said, "Don't cry, don't fight, just listen carefully!"
Shuoming and Yang Chen were immediately frightened, and sat down again obediently. When their sister wasn't paying attention, they suddenly kicked each other's legs and feet.
Xiao Lingjun wrote a new word on the blackboard, turned around and saw that the two brothers were fighting again. He immediately threw away his pointer and rushed into the house to complain.
In the study, Zhou Hexuan is writing.
Ma Jue, who was on weekend vacation, sat next to him, sometimes reading and sometimes looking at people, with a faint smile on his face.
"boom!"
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Lingjun threw herself on Zhou Hexuan's lap, crying aggrievedly: "Daddy, daddy, wuwuwuwu! My brothers are disobedient. I teach them how to read, but they still fight."
Zhou Hexuan, dumbfounded, picked up his daughter, wiped her tears and said, "Our little drama queen is unhappy again?"
Xiao Lingjun pursed her lips and cried harder, shouting outside: "Mom, dad bullied me too! Wow, wow, wow... I'm not a drama queen, I'm not a drama queen, wow, wow, wow, wow!"
"Pfft!"
Ma Jue was amused and said with a smile: "Lingjun is so cute."
Zhou Hexuan hugged his daughter and said with a smile: "How old are you? Are you still crying? Go play with brother Wei Lie."
"No," Xiao Lingjun's lips pursed higher and higher, "Wei Lie is just a nerd. He only knows how to read books all day long. It's not fun at all."
At this moment, Xiao Yang'an ran in holding a broken wooden sword, crying and complaining: "Dad, dad, my brother broke my sword!"
Xiao Shuoming followed behind and said righteously: "Humph, you stingy man, you even broke my pistol."
Liao Yaquan, who had been cheating while playing cards just now, suddenly ran into the study room, carrying her son Yang's clothes and scolding her harshly: "How many times have I told you, a man, don't cry!"
"Wow wow wow wow!" Little Yang'an was frightened by his mother and cried even louder.
When Xiao Shuoming saw this, he immediately ran away and ran to Xiao Weilie's room. He said with a smile: "Brother, I'm here to read with you."
"Um."
Little Wei Lie cherished words like gold and never took his eyes off the book. He was still checking calculations with a pencil in his hand. He was reading the "Third Grade Arithmetic Workbook" published by the Commercial Press.
