HP's Chinese Parents

Nick and Tom have a map plan.

One day, they were lying on the floor of the study, and Nick drew him a world map on a large piece of paper, pointed to a small island and said, "We are here now." Then Nick asked Tom to choose a favorite He painted the island with the color of the island, and told him how to spell Britain, so that he could write it on the map.

"On any map, only 4 colors can be used to color the countries with common borders in different colors."

Then it was story time. Nick hugged Tom and told him about the history of Britain, the British royal family, the British industrial revolution, the evolution of the British flag, and more interesting things such as why the climate of the UK is changeable, and the shape of the UK determines the location of people. When talking about north and south first, then things.

They made a plan for one country per day, and in the next few days they settled on the original venue of the golden hook kiss in France, the hometown of the golden python Xiaojin in Myanmar, the production place of the piano at home in Germany, and the mysterious oriental country China...

Tom asked, "Where is Nagini's hometown?"

Nick didn't know either: "Well, Nagini looks like a mutated adder, and adders are everywhere." He reached out and grabbed the little silver snake, and opened its mouth to show Tom its fangs, " Look, Nagini has fangs, while Xiaojin is an albino python, and a python can grow very big, it can wrap its body around and strangle its prey, so it doesn't need fangs, but it hurts more when bitten by a python."

"Tom, this is actually very interesting," Nick said pointedly. "Creatures evolve in different directions, but they can always get what they want. Some feathers rely on tactful singing, some are good at hunting, and some are good at building nests."

As he talked, Nick drew the anatomy diagrams of two different kinds of snake teeth and various birds, and when he finished drawing, his interest came, and he simply took a pencil to draw a portrait of Tom.

"It's like a photo!" Tom leaned over to look, and Miss Cole from the orphanage also had a photo on the desk in her office.

"It's still different," Nick put the painting away carefully. He hasn't bought the setting fluid yet! "I have always felt that photos reflect more the emotions of the person being recorded, while portraits more reflect the feelings of the painter."

In addition, Nick also taught Tom to play the piano.

"Come on Tom, for every piece you learn, I'll learn a dish." Nick promised with a smile.And when Tom learned the first etude, Nick not only learned new dishes, but also took him to the amusement park.

These few days can be said to be the happiest days for Tom, but soon, Nick will start school.

"Be good at home! If you are bored, you can play building blocks with Nagini. Don't bully Xiao Jin. I may come back later at night. Eat a sandwich first when you are hungry. Don't go out, and don't open the door when strangers come!"

"I know~ I know~" Tom was already very impatient, "This is the third time you said it today, Nick."

"Okay." Nick shrugged and rode off with his schoolbag on his back.

Tom held his chin and watched as Nick disappeared around the corner of the road. Nagini climbed up his pants, wrapped them around his wrists, and hissed at him.

【I'm hungry!Tom! 】

[Nana, how can you eat so much?Nick says you can only eat one mouse a week.You have eaten three. 】Tom looked down at it, complaining blankly.

To be honest, he is not in a good mood right now.When Nick was at home a few days ago, they had so many things to play with every day, but when he was the only one left at home, the doubts that were usually suppressed in their hearts burst into their hearts one by one like bubbles.

Tom didn't doubt Nick and his blood relationship, in fact, as long as they stood together, no one doubted.However, except for the first day he was picked up, Nick never mentioned his parents, nor any of his relatives.He talked to Nagini and Xiao Jin in front of Nick, and Nick not only did not express doubts, but also always showed a helpless expression.

[I'm hungry~ I'm hungry~ I'm hungry~ I'm hungry! ] Nagini, who entered the manic mode and slapped the table with his tail, interrupted Tom's thinking, 【If you don't feed me, I'll eat the golden idiot! 】

A wave of irritability surged into Tom's heart, and in an instant, Nagini was slapped to the ceiling by some out-of-the-box force and fell stiffly to the ground.Tom was startled, and hurried over to pick up the snake. Luckily, the ground was covered with thick carpets. Nagini slapped Tom in his hand, and then hid in his sleeve along his arm. He was very cute and sincere. .

Xiao Jin in the corner lazily spit out the letter and changed his posture. The mouse he ate three days ago has not been digested yet, and he needs to rest.

Nick, who has re-entered the social scene, is very popular. His handsome appearance and outstanding family background give him great points, not to mention that he is the youngest freshman in the Faculty of Science. Both professors and classmates are full of interest in him. .

At the welcome reception, Nick quietly listened to the students talking, and occasionally echoed a few words to stimulate their conversation.

A group of unfamiliar Britons got together, and the safest topic was brought up first.They routinely laughed at Britain’s largest creditor after World War I—the United States on the other side of the ocean, and vividly described the Wall Street crash in the United States not long ago: “Stock prices plummeted, and thousands of people went bankrupt overnight.” All of a sudden it became hot.

After laughing at the United States, the young people brought out their old enemy Germany again: "The number of unemployed people has already exceeded 200 million." There was another sigh.

And some pretty ridiculous remarks.A drunken freshman praised London's "poetic, dark, yellow, purple" smog. "Finally free from the disgusting smell of cow dung in the country! I love the spicy soot!"

The person standing next to Nick choked on hearing this.Nick looked over, and the other party just happened to look over. After confirming the eyes, he knew that they were all understanding people.

"Roland Keig." The blond man blinked and raised his glass without embarrassment.

"Nick Riddle." Nick smiled calmly.

"Hi, I know you." Roland approached familiarly, "Riddle, who has a lot of money, is a young genius who jumped two levels in a row."

"I know him too." Roland raised his chin towards his buddy who wrote poems about the smog, and lowered his voice to gossip to Nick, "Oh, unlucky Baron Victor, his great-grandfather bought the title with money, and his grandfather sold the factory They exchanged all the money for land.”

Speaking of this, Nick understood that it was very popular among rich people in Britain to buy land, but when the colonial crops poured into the country, the value of the land depreciated rapidly, and those who consolidated their property on the land lost even more. Lost everything.

Roland continued: "His father wanted to revive the family's glory, but he died in battle. The baron is 22 years old and he came to college. I guess he wants to enter politics."

Not far away, Baron Victor, who had finished his poem, had already begun to preach the theory of soot sterilization.

"disaster."

"disaster."

Nick and Roland expressed emotion at the same time, then smiled at each other and clinked glasses.
