"You can see what you like," Xia Wan took them to the stationery store and let them choose by themselves“ Dongdong wants to help his brother watch it together
Dongdong nodded, pulled Muyi into the shelves of the stationery store, and soon no one could be seen. Xia Wan didn't worry about it either. She walked around and gave them some stationery and notebooks. After a while, they came back.
"Mom, we've chosen it." Dongdong said that they all chose their favorite backpacks. Some things were selected for them in the summer evening. If there was nothing left out, they took them to check out.
"Well, now let's go to buy clothes. Muyi, what kind of clothes do you want?" Xia Wan codes things and asks Mu Yi what he likes“ Because I don't know what you like. You'll see for yourself later. "
"It's OK. I can choose for myself." Muyi replied, holding the other hand of Xiawan cleverly, he also controlled himself well and didn't look around.
Xia Wan nodded, took them to stop in a clothing store, put things in it, and then let them in to have a look.
Of course, schoolbags and the like are not the same. Those who can let them choose by themselves, but the clothes can't. It's always Xia Wan who chooses them. When they see the right ones, they let the children try them. Only when they reach an agreement can they buy them. Clothes are too important for people's appearance. As the old saying goes, "people depend on clothes, Buddha depends on gold.".
There's still a lot of time left after buying clothes. It's still early to go back now. After thinking about it, Xia Wan asked the nanny to send the things back and take her two children outside.
Because I'm new here, the places are quite fresh. I often go shopping a few days before the late summer, and I know the way. The children don't come out. And Muyi has never been abroad, so he has more insight and understanding.
There are signs at the intersection of this place, and you can see all the people who go there. In the late summer, I took them to the door of the nearby police station to have a look, and told them where they were and where they could come for help when they were in trouble.
Dongdong and Muyi are not young. Teenagers are old enough to stand on their own. Especially in foreign countries, the education here pursues the policy of stocking. Teenagers can travel alone and will not be opposed.
Of the two children, Muyi is more mature and independent. Although Dongdong sometimes helps to take care of Gu Shuang, he is also very sensible, but in essence he is still a child who is spoiled and grows up, so it is hard to avoid some disappointments.
In this place where most children are able to make decisions independently, they are likely to suffer setbacks. Compared with him, Muyi is a little better. He has tried to be independent since he was young and can always adapt to the environment here well.
Xia Wan had never thought about children's independence before. When he went abroad, he felt the importance of this issue.
When they walk on the road, they can see children who are younger than Dongdong running around with schoolbags on their backs. This is the age when parents need to pick them up in China, so they can ride to and from school on their own. However, considering that Dongdong and Muyi have just arrived, they are not at ease to go to school alone.
Different from the local concept, Xia Wan worried that the two children would be rejected when they arrived at school, but he didn't want to be friends with them. The views of both sides are different, and many things can't be played together. This is the problem that Xia Wan is most worried about.
But now it's early to say anything. Xiawan takes them around and plans to go home“ Will Muyi take Dongdong out for a few turns tomorrow? "
Muyi also saw the children along the way. Knowing that Xia Wan wanted to cultivate their independence, he agreed“ Later, we will come out together, and we can go to school when we are familiar with it. You don't need to send it. "
Dongdong is also in line with one side, saying that he is a man and can do things by himself. Xia Wan can only shake his head, "don't worry, you just started, there must be a stage of adaptation, when you are suitable, I will let you go out."
Muyi nodded and agreed to listen to the arrangement of Xia Wan. Dongdong naturally agreed. Since Muyi arrived at home, Dongdong has become a follower. He does whatever Muyi does, especially obedient.
All the way back, Gu Chengyuan is playing with something in the living room. When he sees them coming back, he beckons the two children to come.
"Come and have a look at the Hukou I've given you. We've already got the residence permit. We'll settle here in the future."
Xia Wan was also a little curious. She took a look at it in the past, and the names in it had already been figured out“ Gu Tianqi still uses this name. "
"I think it's good, so I use it." Gu Chengyuan said with a smile, and then looked at Dongdong, "do you like it? Your new name will be Gu Tianqi. "
Dongdong read it again and went to Gu Chengyuan with a smile. But Xia Wan took out another one and called Muyi over."This is yours. Your father still uses your name, that is, our surname, Gu Muyi. What do you think?"
Mu Yi's eyes brightened and the corners of his mouth pursed, apparently happy.
Xia Wan knew his temperament, said a few words to him, and asked about another thing“ Gu Chengyuan, have you arranged a school for them? The school will start soon, so we need to let them study ahead of time, so that they can't keep up
"Well, it's not far from here, just to let them study together, arranged in a class." Gu Chengyuan said, and then he remembered, "nothing else. When they go to school, it's just that they are too tired to attend cram school in junior high school. We'd better give them more time to develop themselves."
Xia Wan thought about it for a while and agreed that the two children over there were still writing the new names. Gu Chengyuan looked at them for a while and called them.
"Your school has been Zhao haole. After the beginning of school, you will go to school with the new students, so now you must learn English in advance, or you will not be able to communicate with your classmates, let alone listen to the teacher."
Wood easy Leng for a while, then face some red, "but I, I can't English."
Gu Chengyuan is not surprised, "I know, I've found an English teacher for you. You've been studying with him at home these days. You didn't have the foundation before. Now you have to study hard. At least you have to be able to communicate with your classmates everyday."
Dongdong nodded. He had been here before. He could at least use some everyday language. There was no pressure to promise, but Muyi had some difficulties and was embarrassed. Especially when you look at Dongdong, you want to express yourself and learn English well.
Gu Chengyuan didn't ask Xia Wan to find a tutor for them, because he had already thought about improving their oral English. He has been abroad, where English is spoken, and few people can speak Chinese. If they don't learn English, it's a problem to communicate with their classmates in school, let alone in class.
In particular, the teachers here have very high diploma, English grammar is also a little more professional, they do not understand. When it comes to school, I can't understand anything, so it's meaningless to go to school.
In English, Dongdong studied in advance and stayed here for a while. Although he went back later, he could still speak some basic everyday expressions, so he could get twice the result with half the effort. Muyi can't. He has never learned anything, especially to learn another language, which is different from learning a kind of knowledge.
Sometimes looking at Dongdong's easy completion of the task assigned by the tutor, he can't find his brain there, so he starts to worry, which makes it even more difficult for him to learn well.
Muyi's eagerness in the past few days is also in his eyes. He tries to help him, and finally decides to take Dongdong and Muyi out to communicate with others, so that they can improve their oral English as soon as possible.
He raised this question and took them out to communicate with others to improve themselves. Dongdong agreed, but Muyi shrank back.
"I, I don't understand what they are saying..." if I don't understand, I can't communicate with them, which is still useless.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Xia Wan said, "Muyi, you should learn to adapt. No one is born to know everything. Dongdong knows much now because he once studied, and he didn't know anything at first."
Muyi was a little uneasy, and Dongdong went to comfort him, "it's OK, brother Muyi. I used to come here to visit my uncle, and I won't talk to other children. You don't know that I don't understand what they told me for a long time, but it's a shame."
Wood easy to listen to Dongdong said his things here, to some relaxed. Summer evening in general looking at the two children, feel very gratified.
He didn't take them far either. In this community, there is a big garden with a lot of fitness equipment. Usually there are people in it, and this is no exception.
Summer evening went in to find a place to sit down, and signaled Muyi and Dongdong to go“ You two can find those children. They are good-natured. People here like to meet new friends and have time. They can also talk with you. They can communicate with you and maybe make a friend. "
Muyi looked over there. There were several children who were about their age playing together. The conversation was full of English. They were too far away to understand what they were saying.
Dongdong takes a look at it, pulls Muyi over, talks to them, and then looks at Muyi. Now Muyi began to be nervous.
Originally it was ok, but now so many people are staring at him, Mu Yi is easy to be nervous, even more speechless when he is nervous. It seems that all the knowledge he has learned has been forgotten, and his mind is blank.
Seeing his nervousness, Dongdong held his hand and said something to the children, a little girl took Muyi's other hand.Opened a mouth, the little girl clumsily called a "brother", this sentence is in Chinese, Muyi suddenly not nervous, with a surprise at the little girl.
"Do you speak Chinese?"
Now the little girl had a daze in her eyes.
Dongdong laughed. "Brother Muyi, don't be nervous. Lucy can only speak a few words of Chinese. His brother taught her a little, but he can't understand anything else."
Muyi is not nervous now. She lets go of her hand and suddenly finds that when they speak in Chinese, the children look at them in surprise, but obviously they don't understand what it means.
Muyi also let go, he found that not only he did not understand their words, but also some people did not understand what they were saying. After discovering this fact, Mu Yi suddenly lost those tense emotions.
Muyi has also learned English, and his learning ability has always been good. At that time, he was too nervous to speak. At this moment, he was not nervous. The words in his mind came back, he could speak English, and gradually he could communicate with them.
Summer evening in the side to see clearly, know this method or played a role, can't help but also for wood easy happy. Look at the time, wait for them to say for a long time, just find the past.
"Well, we should go back." Xia Wan first said hello to the children, and then said to Dongdong and Muyi, "we've been out for a long time. It's not early. My sister is still at home."
Muyi is hard to give up. He turns around and looks at them. Xia Wan smiles, touches Muyi's head and says, "say goodbye to the new friends. We're going back. If you don't want to give up, tell them to come back tomorrow."
Dongdong was reluctant to say goodbye to them, and then he waited for Muyi. When Muyi came over, he took his hand and followed Xia Wan. He laughed all the way and knew he was in a good mood.
When I got home, I met their tutor coming out of the villa. Dongdong and Muyi said goodbye to him. The teacher waved to them with a smile before leaving.
