[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Jane had written a letter to her uncle in London in advance, and she planned to investigate the situation first, and would not bring anyone else with her.

At the train station, Jane was reading a novel while waiting for the train in the waiting room. There was a lot of people around, but she was not affected at all.There was a loud quarrel next to her. Jane looked up and saw a man wearing a station uniform not far away pulling a thin boy and scolding him. The boy's shoulder, the boy had to stand there in a very uncomfortable position, and endured the beating of the man.Passengers waiting around were whispering, but no one stepped forward to stop them.

Jane closed the book and stood up, walked over and asked politely, "Sir? Sir?"

"Oh, oh, sorry, ma'am, what's the matter?" The man raised his hat, and his attitude was very kind when facing Jane.

"I wonder what the kid did?" Jane looked at the boy, who was wearing a baggy old suit that didn't fit well, and his face and hair were dirty.He is about eight or nine years old, well, maybe eleven or twelve years old. Children from poor families are sometimes difficult to determine their age because of malnutrition.

"The kid got on the lorry to London and tried to steal something."

"I don't want to steal, I want to go to London!" retorted the boy.

"Liar, you want to go to London? Ha."

Seeing that the man was getting impatient, Jane hurriedly stopped him, "Since this boy wants to go to London, I happen to be going too, why don't you let me take him with you, do you think this will work? I'll buy him a ticket."

"But ma'am..."

"Just do it."

"...well, ma'am."

"Come with me, boy."

Jane walked back to her seat, and the passengers who were also waiting for the bus nearby saw the scene just now. Some of them disagreed with Jane's actions, and some were very friendly, but they didn't express any opinions, they just moved aside Let's give Jane and the boys some space.

"Okay, boy, what's your name? How old are you?"

"Oliver, Oliver Drizzt, I think I'm ten, miss."

"Should? Oh, well, why would you want to go to London alone? You know it's dangerous, don't you?"

"I want to go to London and find my father, miss, I know he's there." Boy Oliver suddenly became excited, "I can't go on, miss, they beat me every day, and I'm so hungry, we just want more Porridge……"

Oliver spoke in a confused way, but Jane understood a little.

Oliver grew up in an orphanage, where he and other friends worked hard every day but could only eat porridge.The children couldn't bear it anymore, and they decided to ask the steward to give them some porridge, and Oliver was the one who was unlucky enough to draw lots to tell the steward about it.

As a result, the manager pretended to agree, but sold Oliver to the owner of the funeral home.At the beginning, Oliver's life was barely okay, but another apprentice, Noel, hated Oliver very much. He laughed at Oliver's dead mother, and Oliver couldn't bear it and fought him.Afterwards, Noel filed a complaint first, and the boss beat Oliver again. Oliver was so angry that he decided to go to London to find his own father.

"He's in London, I know." Oliver was afraid that Jane would not believe him, so he took out a necklace with a pendant on it from his neckline, and Oliver opened the lid to show Jane, inside was a very delicate little picture of a beautiful lady. Mutually.The woman's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to the boy in front of her. The boy's hair color and mouth are probably inherited from his father.The words "To my favorite ML, AL" are engraved on the back of the lid.

"Look here." Oliver pointed to Jane. It was a line of very small characters. Jane only saw the word "London", followed by a date. She really couldn't read it clearly.

My God, how unreliable is it to rely on this to find relatives?Moreover, it is hard to say whether Mr. "AL" is the husband of "ML", and he may not even be the boy's father.Even if Mr. "AL" is really Oliver's father, how can he find someone with such a portrait without even an address?

Jane found it really tricky. She never thought about the possibility of Oliver lying. After all, she still has this vision. The boy is quite brave, and his character is not cowardly, just a little impulsive.

Jane could not shake the boy off now.

Well, Jane thought, it would be enough to add another handyman to the store, since there was already Toby, and it would not cost much to add Oliver.

"Gu~~" Oliver's stomach suddenly groaned, and the sudden sound made both of them stunned for a moment. Oliver's face quickly turned red from his neck to the top of his head, almost smoking.

Can't laugh!Children of this age also have self-esteem (refer to Lydia who jumped up when she disagreed with her)!

Jane flipped through the package expressionlessly, and took out a paper package, which contained a few sandwiches that she was preparing for dinner.

"Padded your stomach." Jane stuffed the paper bag into Oliver's hand.

Although Oliver blushed, he didn’t refuse Jane’s kindness.

"Listen, Oliver, you..." Before Jane finished speaking, the sound of a train whistle came from a distance, "Oh, my God, this is my train." The passengers around Jane They all stood up.

Jane quickly found out her wallet and took out a coin and handed it to Oliver, "Listen, boy, I can take you to London and even offer you a job, but you have to promise to listen to my arrangement, okay?"

"Good lady." Oliver agreed immediately.

"Take this and go to the ticket office to buy a ticket. This is the train. The ticket office is there. Go straight and turn left. You have to go a little farther. The window faces that way. Buy the ticket and get on any carriage at the back. Then I'll wait for you at the entrance of the second-class carriage, do you hear me clearly?"

"Yes miss."

"Remember, Jane Bennet, my name is Jane Bennet."

"Okay lady."

"Then, let's run."

Oliver turned and ran, grabbing the paper bag and money.

It is impossible for Jane to interrupt her itinerary for Oliver. Fortunately, the ticket office is not far away, and the train will stop for 5 minutes. Oliver can catch up if he runs fast.

Originally, Jane could get Oliver on the train first and then make up for the ticket, but this time she bought a first-class ticket for comfort. Oliver would not be able to get on the train dressed like this, and it is impossible for Jane to go from the bottom class just for Oliver. car.

Jane waited to get into the car, she kept looking out the window, and Oliver never showed up, so long that Jane almost wondered if she had lost her sight, the boy just lied to herself for a little money, but in fact he had brought Money left.

Jane stood at the door of the train until the train had started, and went from slow to fast.At this moment, the boy suddenly ran out, chasing the train all the way, still clutching the paper bag containing the sandwich tightly in his hand, waving the ticket, shouting as he ran, "Stop, stop! Wait for me! Wait for me!"

"It's too dangerous, stop!" The station staff standing next to him hurried forward to stop Oliver.

"No, no, she's still waiting for me, I want to catch this train!" Oliver saw Jane who was still standing at the train gate, and she was waiting for him.

It's a pity that the boy came too late, and now the train was about to leave the platform, and Jane could only watch Oliver being held tightly by other platform staff, oh my god.

Oliver burst into tears.

Back in her own compartment, Jane's mood was really hard to describe.A few minutes ago, she felt that this boy was a hot potato after being brave for righteousness, but she was mentally prepared, but he missed the car... I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again.

Oh, what are these things called?

After adjusting his mood, when he arrived in London, it was Mycroft who came to pick up Jane, and he sent Jane to Gardner's house.

Mrs. Gardner was still a little emotional when she saw Mycroft. Four years ago, their family invited the big boss’s family to dinner, because they still struggled for a long time whether to let Jane serve at the table. Unexpectedly, Jane would marry the big boss’s son in a blink of an eye. up.

But think about it, if Jane wasn't so capable, she wouldn't have been sent to London alone by Mrs. Bennet back then, and she wouldn't have appeared on that important occasion, and of course she wouldn't have known Mycroft... It's all God's will, moreover It is the result of Jane's own excellence.

Mrs. Gardner invited Mycroft to dinner, but he declined. He asked for leave today to pick up Jane. He had to go back to work, so Mrs. Gardner said that he would formally invite him next time. This time, Mike Loft agreed.

After Mycroft left, Jane's little cousin Darlene rushed out immediately, "Jane, Jane!" she shouted happily, "You're here."

"Hello, Darlene." Jane looked at the little girl in surprise, "You have grown up so much, you are cuter and more beautiful." Children of this age grow up really fast,

Darlene smiled shyly, "You're beautiful too, Jane." The little girl didn't remember Jane a little bit before, but after being reminded by Mrs. Gardner, she quickly remembered the beautiful cousin who came to visit four years ago .

Jane didn't bring any big or small bags this time. She will come to London several times in the future, and she can't bring them like this every time, but she still brought some small gifts for her uncles, aunts and cousins, including Owen, who didn't come home from school, and Bernadette, who was just over three years old and walked like a duckling.

"Darlene, dear, would you take Jane to her room?" Mrs. Gardner said to Darlene after chatting a few words.

"Okay, Mommy."

Two years ago, the Gardner family moved to a new house. It is more spacious than before, and the neighbors are more kind to Mrs. Gardner.

Pottery Smith and Holly White, still working as cook and maid at the Gardners, gave Jane a warm welcome.The new nanny is a girl of foreign origin, and she has also inquired about Jane's affairs in private, and she is very friendly to Jane.

When Mr. Gardner came back, he first welcomed Jane, and then chatted with her about the house.As Jane's natal family, Mr. Gardner was obliged to take over all the affairs in London. Although he was not a snobbish person, he also felt that Jane's marriage was very good, not to mention that Mr. Holmes was his major shareholder. Mycroft himself had a bright future ahead of him.

Mr. Gardner helped to find the person who repaired the house this time, and he took some time to tell Jane about the repairs of the house, so that she would know what was going on.Jane kept everything in mind.

Don't think that only Chinese people pay attention to relatives watching and human accidents. These things are the same all over the world. The difference is probably whether you like rice or noodles.

The author has something to say: Mr. Gardner: My niece has a good marriage, and I have to do my best.

Jane: It would be nice to have an uncle (～￣▽￣)～
