Chapter 85: Acquaintances meet again

"I just lifted you out in front of that maid, but I don't know if it's useless." Caifeng held Chen Wenqiang's shoulders and said a little uneasy: "Lili is too lonely and needs a child of the same age."

"The little girl seems to be wearing her feet, and the adults at home are probably very conservative." Chen Wenqiang was not sure, and closed his eyes slightly and smiled bitterly, "If they don't want to, can I drive them out?"

"You built this place, so you will always give me some face, right?"

"That's hard to say." Chen Wenqiang shook his head gently, "Don't force someone's education method. If you want me to say it, it's better to send Lili to school, where there are many children, just get used to it."

"After all the tutors are hired, don't go to school." Caifeng made a tactful decision and took Chen Wenqiang a while before going to work in the factory.

Chen Wenqiang leaned on the lounge chair and was half asleep and half awake. The voice of servant A San came from outside. He got up with sleepy eyes and went out to see who was coming. Lili followed behind.

It was Yulian. The maid was standing next to her, but she was led by another woman. And this woman is not unfamiliar with it, that is Axuan from the Dong family.

"Hello, Yulian." Lili couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart and greeted her first.

The maid bowed, but Yulian replied crisply in her sharp voice: "Hello, Lili."

"Hello, Miss Dong." Chen Wenqiang nodded with a smile and greeted the three of them into the living room.

Axuan is still a little shy, but today she dresses fresh and simple, which makes people feel good.

"Mr. Chen." As soon as Ah Xuan opened her mouth, her face turned red. She glanced at Yulian holding in her hand and said nervously: "Yulian is my sister. My mother is very happy when she heard that she was dating Mr. Chen's adopted daughter. With Mr. Chen, Yulian will definitely make a lot of progress, so"

"Just make friends with children and have fun together. As for growth, haha, I am really an amateur in educating children." Chen Wenqiang signaled Axuan to sit down and smiled: "And I have been very busy recently. However, the tutor has found a very good gentleman. It is also a good thing for the children to listen to lectures and study together."

Lili brought a big orange, raised it at Yulian, peeled it open the orange peel, divided it into two halves, and handed it over.

Yulian stared at Orange, turned her head to look at Axuan, and nodded with encouragement. Her wrapped feet took a step forward, and then stretched out a fat little hand from her long sleeves with fleshy little hands on each finger joint, and took Orange.

It was like a simple handover and welcome ceremony. Two little girls of different ages got together. At first, they were whispering in a low voice, and then they sat down together to read the little man's book. Obviously, Yulian already knew about Sun Wuzi, but she was still as enthusiastic as a child who had never heard of this story.

"I heard that St. Mary Girls' School is going to open a normal school?" Chen Wenqiang casually found a topic.

"I, I have transferred to the patriotic girl school." Axuan didn't expect that it was Chen Wenqiang who was entertaining her and he stuttered a little.

St. Mary Girls' School is a noble girls' school with very expensive tuition fees. Despite this, many middle-class families still take pride in sending their daughters to the school. I hope they can develop a ladylike demeanor, step into the upper social circle, and marry into wealthy families. But St. Mary Girls' School, like all church schools, attaches importance to English and despise Chinese. Some students can speak extremely fluent English, but Chinese cannot even write a note. Moreover, in addition to the Bible, Chinese, and arithmetic, they only have sewing and embroidery.

"Patriotic girls are good at studying. I want them to read. They are much better than reciting the Bible." Chen Wenqiang spoke out loudly, glanced at Yulian, leaned forward, and whispered: "Since you are your sister, when you go back and tell your parents, don't let her bind her feet, right?"

Axuan's face turned redder and nodded randomly, without saying that this sister was born by a concubine and was not the same mother as her.

"I heard that the Patriotic Girls are rehearsing a drama. Have you participated?" Chen Wenqiang looked at the girl's red apple-like cheeks and found it very interesting. At the same time, he is still one of the patrons of the Patriotic Girls' School, and he is considered a school director, and it is not too much to ask about the school.

"Yes, yes, it's "The Merchant of Venice." Axuan looked up and met Chen Wenqiang's eyes, then quickly lowered her head, twisted the corner of her clothes, "I have performed in Santa Maria Girls' School."

Chen Wenqiang did not get involved in this, so he curiously asked about the plot.

Axuan went from cramped to calm, and gradually got rid of her shy appearance in the process of telling the story.

"Haha, it's a satirizing Jews." Chen Wenqiang knew it and nodded with a smile. "A few days ago, Premier Cai invited me to watch it during the official performance. At that time, the actors on the stage are mixed, so it's not easy to find Miss Dong."

"I play Jessica, Sherlock's daughter." Axuan blurted out, with a little expectation.

"I think on the stage, Miss Dong must have a different style from her usual life." Chen Wenqiang nodded vigorously, "I will go and see it." As he said, he glanced at the two children in a corner of the living room, "maybe they will take them with him."

"It would be a pleasure to go if Mr. Chen could go." Axuan adapted a little, her eyes blinked much more flexible, and she glanced at Chen Wenqiang curiously.

Chen Wenqiang nodded with a smile, stood up and said, "I'm going to work in the laboratory. Miss Dong might as well sit here for a while to make the two children happy. Just be more casual. If you have any needs, call the servant A San."

"Me, can I go to the laboratory for a visit?" Axuan mustered up the courage and bit her lower lip, "Or I'll go home directly. They just have maid Xiu'er and servants to accompany them. I, I, I'm not very good at dealing with children."

"Visit the laboratory?" Chen Wenqiang thought for a while, and said with a smile while Axuan was waiting anxiously: "Okay, then let's go together. But when I got there, I may not be too busy with you, don't blame me for being rude!"

………

When getting in the car and getting into the seat, Chen Wenqiang accidentally touched A Xuan's thigh and moved quickly. In an instant, the two of them looked at each other. Obviously, A Xuan also realized the contact just now.

The carriage moved along the road towards Qiangzhuo Laboratory, making a clattering sound. Both of them looked out the window and remained motionless for a long time, but they both felt his (her) presence beside them. Chen Wenqiang intentionally or unintentionally explored it, and he obviously had more knowledge of Axuan.
