Chapter 54 Family Gathering

The morning crawl time remains the same, still fifteen minutes, but five minutes of round trip running has been added.

The round trip distance is the same as before, about fifty meters.

Then the difficult process of adaptation began again, but it was much better than at the beginning. It took only two or three days to adapt. Just when Zhang Wei was scared and didn't dare to show too relaxed, thinking that Venus was going to increase the bet, there was no movement.

Just twenty minutes of continuous exercise every day lasted for a long time.

During this period, Venus directed the workers to gradually add some equipment, such as balance ladders, obstacle boards, and the largest one was a climbing platform of more than ten meters.

It took three days to install the climbing platform, and after it was installed, the spacious backyard became crowded.

And that’s not all. Some large packed boxes are being moved to the warehouse one after another. They have the words “fitness equipment” written on them. Are they trying to make her a female version of Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Zhang Wei shuddered when he thought of this, and quickly shook those images out of his mind.

It is inevitable that you will increase the amount of exercise later, but for now, just enjoy the good days of twenty minutes of exercise every day.

By the time summer vacation started, Zhang Wei's complexion had noticeably improved. Although her previously overly fair face had become a little tanned, her cheeks had more color and she looked much healthier.

Summer vacation is here and it's time to go back to the castle. There is also news from Manny. Although the official notice has not been sent, Manny is sure that he has passed the interview. Half a month ago, Charles went to accompany Manny to participate in the admission interview and background check of Devon School.

Emma told me that she had an important family meeting to attend in the UK during the summer vacation, so she solemnly asked the costume designer to come to her house to order clothes.

Although Zhang Wei received one or two new sets of clothes every month before, the costume designer would not come except for the first time. He would only send an assistant to measure their sizes every quarter, after all, children grow faster.

Speaking of which, Zhang Wei also knew that the Wilson family was a big family, but she had been here for a full year, and the only relative she had met was Aunt Mary.

So she had some suspicions that other people had some thoughts about her existence, and it was not difficult to guess that she might have to endure some stares at this family gathering.

However, she didn't hear Manny or Namier discuss other cousins, so she guessed that their relationship was not very close.

The people of Country A are very different from the British, but Zhang Wei knows that a large number of them discriminate against people of other colors.

The discrimination of country A is expressed very directly, and they don't bother to hide it, just like the librarian. Catherine also had some of it at the beginning.

In England, she only stayed in the castle. If Aunt Mary's attitude changed because she loved the whole family, she herself had no special opinion of Zhang Wei, but the attitude of another person was questionable.

That is the old butler who has been serving the Wilson family in the castle.

Although he had always been gentle and considerate, Zhang Wei could feel that he was always looking at her with a scrutinizing eye when no one was around.

That look was most obvious when they were choosing things in the warehouse. However, Zhang Wei chose the gold pen which he thought was not too valuable, instead of the precious jewelry in the dressing box. This made him feel that this "poor guy" was quite self-aware.

A butler like him, who had been a servant for generations, was proud to serve the Wilson family and looked down on her, not to mention the other members of the Wilson family.

I have to say that the Wilsons were open-minded. They came from a traditional upper-class British family. I don’t know why they went to China to adopt her in the first place. Indeed, she did not feel any strange treatment in the Wilson family.

It can be said that the Wilsons have both the traditional rigorous character of the British and the relaxed and open-minded style of the A country people.

Since Emma is so serious about this family gathering, Zhang Wei will of course fully cooperate, although the role of her outfit here is minimal.

This time when she measured her height, Zhang Wei looked a little taller than before, and had some weight on her body, which made her look a little more "childish". This made Zhang Wei ashamed. She was definitely not a qualified role player. Fortunately, most people she met were quite tolerant of her.

This time the designer also prepared some skirt styles for them to choose from. There are only a few styles suitable for children to attend formal occasions. Zhang Wei asked Emma to choose for her, since she knew nothing anyway.

She used to be a fashion illiterate. She could see the difference between popular styles and was happy as long as it suited her. Online shopping was really a paradise for people with social anxiety. She really hated shopping guides following her to buy things.

If you don’t even go to physical clothing stores, you will have no idea what is popular. In the past, you could tell from the styles in clothing stores, but later you just buy what you like, regardless of whether it is popular or not.

After picking out clothes for the whole family, including Charles, Leda, Manny and Namier, Zhang Wei calculated that there were more than a dozen sets of clothes, and the designer had to rush to finish them, so they had to get them before they went to the UK in early July.

Zhang Wei thought Venus would stay here, and she planned to supervise Namir to keep exercising together, but she didn't expect Venus to go with them.

After saying goodbye to her friends Paris and Dora, she boarded a flight to England again.

What impressed Zhang Wei most was the rabbits. He didn't know whether Aunt Mary had caught all the rabbits.

Apparently, she wasn't the only one who had thought of this. Namir's voice came to her ears:

"Vera, do you think we can still go rabbit hunting this year?"

"It's definitely possible to go, but it might not be as easy to catch as last year."

"If you can't catch it, you can come hunting with me. I guarantee you'll catch one with one shot." Venus's words made Namir's eyes light up.

What surprised Zhang Wei was that Emma also agreed:

"You can take them there if you like. However, our own estate also grows some crops besides the abandoned part. Although the harvest is poor and there are few animals, it is not suitable for hunting. I heard that there is a relatively famous hunting ground near our estate. You can go and ask about it when the time comes."

It turns out there is a special hunting area here. I wonder what kind of animals can be hunted. Since it is a famous hunting ground, it should not be illegal.

And Emma is not worried about safety issues. It seems that she is more confident in Venus.

Zhang Wei was taught in her home country that she was not allowed to eat wild game, let alone hunt it. She originally thought that hunting rabbits was a bit excessive, after all, they were rampant and considered a harmful species.

However, when Emma and Venus talked about the types of hunting, Zhang Wei was stunned...
