Rebirth of the Republic of China

As long as the business of going abroad is done, everything will go smoothly.

Yu Zhannan also personally went to Qu Zhai to thank Qu Yidong.If Yu Zhannan couldn't do this, but the boss of a newspaper in Qu Yidong did it, it would be unbelievable to say it.This can only be said to be their luck. Although Qu Yidong has a background in Shanghai, the main reason is that he has been in close contact with various countries because of the newspaper office over the years, and has acquaintances in several major countries.So this difficult matter for others is really not a big deal in Qu Yidong's hands.

Originally, Qu Yidong simply wanted to help Shao Xintang. Unexpectedly, after the matter was completed, Yu Zhannan sent him a lot of unconverted notes, as well as two bungalows in a very good location in the Shanghai Concession.Qu Yidong didn't want such a great gift.

"We go out this time, and I don't know if we can come back. These things are not easy to deal with in my hands, but they can be of some value in Mr. Qu, so don't hold them back. You have helped us so much. Busy, you have to make sense of everything you say, or I will feel bad." Yu Zhannan's words were also sincere.

With so many properties and real money, anyone would dislike it, but Qu Yidong couldn't shirk it, so he readily accepted it.

Yu Zhannan and the others contacted a cargo ship bound for the United States, the destination was North Carolina, and the sailing time was about 40 days.

After getting all the formalities, everyone felt at ease, and started busy preparing food and clothes for the road.Everyone was busy, afraid that something would be left behind, and there was no way to resupply when they got on the boat and faced the surrounding ocean.

Saying goodbye to Qu Yidong’s family, the night before the ship’s departure, they carried all the goods and things on board the ship. On the morning of the departure, each of them carried a small suitcase and boarded the ship with ease. .The suitcases in everyone's hands were filled with real gold and silver.

When the ship slowly cut through the water waves, the huge freighter set sail amidst shouts.

A group of more than a dozen of them stood on the wide and old deck, looking at the distant motherland, with nostalgia and reluctance in their eyes.

Shao Xintang came behind Yu Zhannan, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I said, you don't even speak English now, so you still have time to be sad here?"

Sun Dequan turned his head, and with luck in his dantian, he roared: "Our brothers have never seen such foreign guns and cannons, and we are still afraid of his foreign language!"

"That's right!" They booed together, feeling much better.

Shao Xintang's delicate eyebrows raised slightly, and she said softly provocatively: "Then let's try it."

The huge freighter sailed away from the motherland where they were born, but it also took them to an unknown and hopeful future.

Including Yu Zhannan, at the beginning, they were very interested in learning foreign languages.As soon as this topic was brought up, everyone was excited and ready to study now.They are still bragging to each other that they can learn everything in a few days.

Liu Tao leaned into Sun Dequan's ear and said, "How many places have I traveled to to fight wars? I didn't bother to learn the dialects from all over the world. It's not that I can speak the dialects so fluently!"

Sun Dequan pursed his lips, nodded and agreed, "Yes, I'm thinking about the bird language of this foreigner, it won't be more awkward than our local dialect."

Shao Xintang listened to it, but said nothing, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

In this era, there is no good Chinese version of English teaching aids, or books for self-study in English.Shao Xintang went to the bookstore and collected all the books about Chinese people learning English. After a quick look, she felt that none of them were professional or suitable for soldiers who urgently needed to speak English.

So Shao Xintang formulated a whole set of study plans for them based on her own experience in learning foreign languages.How to read English newspapers every day, how many English words to recite, how many commonly used spoken phrases to teach...these are the closest to life.Tell Nie Jianan myself, let them listen, and then read along...

Although Shao Xintang is usually easy to talk to, as a teacher, he is definitely strict.At the beginning, when they saw his gentle and elegant appearance, they all learned it with a playful smile, but in less than a few days, Shao Xintang let them see how powerful he is, and let these officers who are used to commanding on the battlefield Submissive.

They are usually very busy people. This time they lived at sea for dozens of days and had nothing to do, so they just followed Shao Xintang to learn English all day long.The fantasies of the men who wanted to gamble for a few days and nights with so much money in their pockets were ruined.Facing the tadpoles all day long, with a large number of letters, they are about to collapse.

On the 20th day of No., Shao Xintang has a new way to torture them, so that they can only speak English, and even the sleep talk must be in English, otherwise, this weak-looking, seemingly easy to bully Little reporter, really can think of too many cruel ways to torture them.

Shao Xintang is not those soldiers like Yu Zhannan who only know force. He is a literati and has read a lot of books. When he wants to punish people, he never uses a knife or force value. In his heart, he will come to whatever is the most vulnerable of that person.

So although these people are in pain, their tongues are numb when they speak the twisted bird language every day, and they dare not practice hard.

In fact, there was a reason why Shao Xintang was so strict.He didn't want these people to face a completely unfamiliar environment when they first arrived abroad, and the people around them couldn't understand what they said.That can easily make them feel isolated and uncomfortable.

Strengthening training them now like this will naturally not be better than training them when they are in the United States and surrounded by English-speaking people, but Shao Xintang is also thinking about them and hopes that they will be more relaxed then.

And the most conscientious among them is actually their Commander Yu.

Nie Jianan has been learning foreign languages ​​with Shao Xintang for a long time, and now English communication is no longer a problem for him.And Yu Yibo also has a special foreign language teacher in the school.They don't need Shao Xintang's supervision.

The tasks assigned by Shao Xintang, Yu Zhannan completed very well every time, holding a foreign document in his hand to read all day long, and occasionally sketching, and asking Shao Xintang what he didn't understand.Shao Xintang had never seen him read any book so seriously.

That night the two lay on a wooden bed on the freighter.Shao Xintang asked curiously, "Why are you so studious?"

Holding an English newspaper in his hand, Yu Zhannan leaned his back on a big pillow, and said flatly, "You know six foreign languages. If you don't learn them, you won't be able to catch up with you!"

Yu Zhannan threw the newspaper in his hand on the table next to him, lay down and hugged Shao Xintang, and said with a mischievous smile: "Besides, when did I fail to complete the task my wife gave me? "

Saying that, those big hands dishonestly reached under Shao Xintang's pajamas, like lighting a fire, touching every inch of his skin ambiguously...

Shao Xintang gave him a hard look, and cursed: "You know this every day."

The cargo ship stopped to unload in several countries halfway, and they replenished food and water sources.

It is said that it is not safe to be on a ship in this era, but there are thirteen of them, except for a woman and a child, the rest do not seem to be troublesome.These soldiers who have been on the battlefield and have had their lives in their hands all have a kind of evil spirit that can be clearly felt by people, which makes people consciously shy away and dare not provoke them.So even though they brought a lot of money, no one dared to take their ideas, so they arrived at the destination smoothly.

They disembarked in a North Carolina port.It took 43 days for the freighter to arrive at sea.At this time, Yu Xinya and Su Qixuan had already driven here from Georgia, and had already stayed in the hotel for four or five days.

I heard that there was a cargo ship from Shanghai at the port today, and the two of them took their servants out early in the morning to see if it was the one that Yu Zhannan and the others were on board.

The boat hadn't touched the shore yet, and when it was far away, the people on board could already see the wide harbor full of excited people waving their long arms.

Shao Xintang and the others stood on the deck, and as the boat got closer and closer to the shore, they heard an officer named Li Jianchen muttering to himself in a low voice: "Damn, why are they all yellow-haired, and there is no Chinese?"

This freighter was loaded with cargo, and there were few people on board, even fewer local Americans. Most of them were nobles or wealthy people who fled from China.So when they first saw people with white and black skins, they were a little shocked.

The boat finally stopped, and they saw a few conspicuous Chinese in the crowd at a glance.Everyone was very excited, waving their arms and shouting over there, attracting the attention of many black people unloading at the port.

These Chinese people were Yu Xinya, his wife and several servants.

They passed the pass and ran directly towards Yu Xinya and the others.The servant brought by Su Qixuan went to help unload the luggage.It is really not easy for them to meet here again across this ocean, and everyone is very excited.After making out for a while, Su Qixuan went back first.

They hired two more cars at the pier, plus the four cars Su Qixuan and the others drove, and went back to their home in Georgia.

Yu Zhannan asked Yu Xinya to show him the house here a long time ago.There happened to be a family near Yu Xinya's small villa who wanted to move to New York. The villa was bigger than theirs, with good sunlight and good layout. Yu Xinya negotiated the price with them, and the formalities were completed about a month ago. .

When she heard that they were coming, she took her servants to help tidy up all day long, and replaced the beds with new ones.Some big patterns have not changed, thinking that it means that Zhannan and the others have come, and then let them change it themselves.

Yu Xinya's family ate up a large table of meals like a storm.These energetic men were not too tired, so they clamored to see the house.

Shao Xintang also wanted to see the new home, and a group of them went to the new home again.

The new home is behind Xinya's villa, and a few people can walk there.But Su Qixuan still insisted on taking them by car, drove five cars, and arrived at the place in 3 minutes.

A small white three-story villa with a high oval roof looks very religious.The lower floor of the villa is inlaid with small lacquered red tiles, which look elegant and lively.The yard is also very large, and the trees are neatly repaired. In the front yard, there are cosmos plants planted by the previous owner, each blooming vigorously.It can be seen that people's mood can't help but get better.

In short, looking at everyone's expressions, it seems that they are very satisfied with their future home.
