Chapter 91 School Selection 1
She discovered early on that Zhang Wei's prayers before meals were always perfunctory, and he had no interest in going to church and did not believe in priests or Jesus.
So I felt that my youngest daughter had a rebellious heart.
If Zhang Wei knew about this, she would agree. Not to mention Jesus, even the Jade Emperor is the most important in her heart. The Chinese god is their imaginary self, and they only believe in themselves.
"I have an invitation letter from IJMO, and uh, a letter of recommendation from the principal."
If their baseball team could be stronger, she might be able to get more things. Unfortunately, after Beth graduated, they got a new captain. She was not as ambitious as Beth and rarely participated in the Eight Schools Federation competitions. Naturally, Zhang Wei also reduced the energy she spent on baseball.
"So you've already got it? Then the chances of success should be quite high." Manny was a little surprised, because Zhang Wei had told him about it once last Christmas, and he thought this was Zhang Wei's long-term goal.
"Where's Leda?" asked Namir.
Zhang Wei was also a little curious. His older brother, who was in his twenties, was not there, but his younger brother, who was in his teens, was helping them analyze the admission requirements. Emma also regarded him as a trustworthy adult and listened to his opinions patiently.
"He has a final project and is doing a field trip to Iceland. He might not even come back to the UK during the summer break."
So that's how it is. Zhang Wei feels that Leida's connection with her family has become much weaker since she went to college. It seems that children all over the world want to leave their families and fly alone the moment they grow up.
But it is also possible that he communicated with his parents frequently and she didn't see it.
Emma immediately spoke out: "Yes, I forgot to tell you that Leida shared his residence with me yesterday."
Time passed quickly as we chatted along the way, and soon we arrived at the house where Leida and Manny were staying for the weekend.
This is Zhang Wei’s first time here. The house is located in an apartment in the center of London.
This was the first time Zhang Wei lived in a high-rise building other than a hotel after arriving abroad.
It is a large flat with a great view, with a total of four rooms and a large living room with panoramic windows.
Manny said that he and Leida rarely come to stay here. They are at school most of the time, and then they ask someone to clean the house before coming to stay here.
On the contrary, Charles spends more time here. He stays here most of the time when he is on business trip to the UK, so now all three rooms are occupied, and the remaining room has not been occupied, so it is left to Zhang Wei.
Namir lived in Leida's room. He didn't want to live with Manny, so he called Leida to ask for her opinion.
The floor was very high, and Zhang Wei's room had a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the night view of the city. It had been a long time since I had seen the city light show, although it gradually went out before ten o'clock.
Every time she arrives at a new place, Zhang Wei becomes a little attached to her bed. This is a habit she cannot change no matter how many countries she visits, so she feels a little lethargic when she wakes up the next day.
The next day she was going to immerse herself in British food again, which was really hard to describe.
In comparison, he is really not as good as the chef at Aunt Mary's house. The pizzas are all made of unleavened dough with a weird taste, not even as good as some restaurants in China. The national dish, fish and chips, is not as good as KFC and McDonald's, and even not as good as the domestic pirated ones.
The only edible dish we finally ate was Indian food. There are many Indian restaurants in the UK, which may be related to the previous colonization.
Influenced by some videos from her previous life, Zhang Wei has a deep prejudice against Indian food. In her mind, Indian food is synonymous with everything unclean.
Zhang Wei was still a little nervous when Manny took them to an Indian restaurant, but judging from the restaurant environment and the cleanliness of the service staff, the scene she imagined should not happen.
There are many Europeans in the restaurant, and the dishes look quite appetizing at first glance.
Of course, she also saw an Indian family of four. The man was wearing a suit, and the woman was very beautiful and fair-skinned, with a typical Aryan appearance. She was obviously of high caste. Although she did not wear traditional Indian clothes, she had a nose pierced and a headscarf.
She brought a pair of children with her. The girl was very beautiful, especially her eyes, which were light gold with a hint of green, a bit like a cat and very cunning. She was about twelve or thirteen years old.
When Zhang Wei and the others entered, the family was praying before the meal. She had never been interested in this kind of ceremony, so she just looked at the family for a few seconds.
Unexpectedly, when the others were concentrating on praying, the girl was attracted by the sound of someone coming in, opened her eyes and looked at them, and her eyes met Zhang Wei's. Zhang Wei immediately curled her lips reflexively, and the girl winked at her playfully.
This little beauty is quite friendly, Zhang Wei thought.
Zhang Wei didn't feel that way when he was in Country A, but when he arrived in London, he felt that the people here really lacked enthusiasm.
When I was in New York City, sometimes when I met strangers and looked at each other, except for some racists, most people would smile friendly. But here, basically everyone would look away with a blank expression.
This little beauty made Zhang Wei look forward to the food in this restaurant.
India is indeed a country that loves curry. Whether it is meat or vegetarian dishes, they are all cooked into a pot of paste.
There was no beef in the dishes here, only pork and chicken. In fact, there were so many spices in the dishes that she couldn't tell what kind of meat it was.
To be honest, the taste is pretty good, which is good news for lovers of heavy flavors, especially when paired with the flatbread. The flatbread has a charcoal smell and it is really delicious when freshly baked and paired with curry.
Before she knew it, Zhang Wei had eaten too much. It was the best meal she had had recently.
Emma and Namier didn't like the food very much, but Manny was more accustomed to it. Zhang Wei even wanted to pack up the remaining pancakes and curry, but the kitchen where they lived now was just a showpiece and there was nothing in it except a refrigerator.
In the afternoon, Emma received an email from Devon School saying that Namier could go for an interview in three days after preparing the materials, while Zhang Wei only received an invitation to visit from Harrow, and the interview at Harrow would be in a week.
There was no news about the girls' school in Devon. When Emma called to ask, she was just told that it was still being planned and asked to be patient.
Zhang Wei has no choice now and can only go to Harrow first.
This time only Emma accompanied her. Manny also went back to school these days. Namir didn't want to go to a girls' school, so he stayed at home to review the interview materials Manny left for him.
Harrow Girls' School is located in the suburbs of London and seems much more remote than Devon. Devon is at least in a town, but to be honest, it feels even more remote than Aunt Mary's castle.
Although it was built over a hundred years ago, it looks even older than Dewen. The overall color of the building is blue-gray. When Zhang Wei and her friends arrived, the door was closed. They knocked for a long time before an elderly nun came to open the door.
