[Comprehensive film and television host British and American drama] Zai Su also wants to fall in lov

Sitting on the train, Su Li watched the bright and warm Hampshire gradually go away from them, and felt a strong reluctance in her heart——

She had a wonderful childhood at Helstone, although at the age of eight she was sent to the home of Aunt Shaw at Harley Street, London, with her ten-year-old sister.But the short days she spends every year when she comes back from the holidays are enough to make her happy and nostalgic!

But now, their family is sitting in a small train carriage, going to Milton, Duckshire, an industrial city!For her, although this is a little uncomfortable, she thinks it is about the same as moving from Jiaxing, Zhejiang to Tianjin.But for her sister and mother, leaving the warm, bright, moist and pure Helstone is a puzzling and sad thing!

Her mother, Mrs. Maria Hale, fell ill, and her sister, Margaret Hale, cried violently several times in the room.And Mrs. Dixon, her mother's loyal servant, disrespected her father many times!

But her behavior was quickly stopped by her sister Margaret Hale. As a servant, she was a bit too airy!

Su Li's name in this life is Alberta Hale. She has special blue-black hair from her father, and a soft face and fair skin from her mother.It was nothing like her older sister Margaret.Margaret looked more like their father, Richard Hale.She can't say how beautiful she is, and her mouth is too big.But her lips are bright red, slightly curved, and although her skin is not fair, it is as delicate and smooth as ivory!She doesn't have any affection for businessmen, she prefers to stay with farm laborers and villagers, and she likes anyone or anything related to the land!

Because of the marriage of Su Li's cousin Edith Shaw, she and Margaret returned to Helstone's small parsonage together.It's small but cozy!They spent the beautiful July and August there, and ushered in the harvest September and October.Then came to Milton in November with their father, Mr. Hale, who had resigned his priesthood.

Mrs. Hale was always sullen all the way, she didn't like Helstone at first!She felt that the place was too small, too quiet, too remote, too humid, and there were too many trees, which made her physically worse!But now, she couldn't think of any bad things about Helstone!Compared with Milton, Helstone is as beautiful as heaven!

However, whether they wanted to or not, after a few long hours, they came to Milton.As soon as they got out of the station, several people noticed the cloudy sky.Mr. Hale deposited the furniture he had brought with him at the railway station, found a carriage outside the station, and the family boarded the carriage and found a hotel to live in.

After entering the street, several people discovered that the cloudy clouds they saw at the train station were not a sign of rain, but were caused by black smoke coming out of several large factories in Milton Town!

There was an unpleasant black dust in the air, and Mrs. Hale held up her handkerchief as if she was about to faint.Once in the hotel room, she covered her face and cried again: "I can't figure it out! I can't figure out why you resigned your job and came here! Even if it wasn't Helstone! Why are we here! Here People don't need education at all! All they think about is wages!"

"Mom..." Su Li quickly walked over and knelt down in front of her, putting her head on her lap in a coquettish gesture of a little girl: "We are already in Milton. Since this city exists, it will continue to grow." Development, there must be its advantages, let us discover it together, shall we?"

Mrs. Hale looked down at her little daughter who looked very much like her, and tried hard to hold back her tears!Her little daughter is only 16 years old, she needs to be strong to protect her cute and sweet little daughter!

Mr. Hale breathed a sigh of relief. He really loved his wife, and he never wanted to make his beloved wife sad because of his decision!

At night, she shared a bed with Margaret, listening to her actively plan her life in Milton.Her elder sister has always been strong, although she has the unique sensitivity and love for the land of the southern ladies of this era, and her aversion to businessmen.But she is a very good sister.

Su Li rubbed the soft pillow, which had an obvious smell of being roasted by fire, which made her a little unaccustomed to the smell of flowers or pillows exposed to the natural sun.

"I can understand Dad. Men are always like this, no matter how old they are, they can't completely calm down their hearts. If he wants to pursue his true self, then I will support him!" Margaret said, but her elder brother His eyes were full of worry.

Su Li nodded, smiling sweetly, with the unique ignorance of girls at this age: "As long as our family is together, I think I will have a good time no matter where I am! We will find a new home, You'll make new friends and talk about new things."

"Oh, love, yes, as long as our family is together, we will be very happy." Margaret hugged Su Li and said emotionally.

The two sisters were sent to their aunt's house on Harley Street in London to study and live with their cousin Edith since they were young. They only spend holidays with their parents every year.Now, their family is tightly reunited except for their elder brother Frederick Hale who is in the navy in Spain!Is there anything better than this?

The next day, Margaret and Hale embarked on a journey to find a house. They found news about houses for rent from the Milton Times, and then searched one by one.And Su Li stayed at home to take care of Mrs. Hale, who was frail because of the great difference in the environment, although she tried her best to adjust her mentality.

In the afternoon of this day, Margaret and Mr. Hale embarked on the journey of looking for a house again after having lunch and taking a nap.There was a sudden knock on the door of the hotel, and Dixon walked over to open the door. It was a gentleman with a serious face——

It's Mr. Thornton.

Su Li walked out of the bedroom, brushed off her skirt, and combed her messy hair from taking care of Mrs. Hale, and went to the living room to receive him.

She pulled the hem of her skirt and bowed slightly, "Good day, Mr. Thornton."

The man bowed slightly with the hat in his hand to salute: "Good day. I think you must be Miss Alberta Hale. I'm here to visit Mr. Hale. Is he there?"

Su Li asked Mr. Thornton to sit on the sofa in the hotel, and asked Dixon to bring black tea and milk. She poured a cup of milk tea and handed it to Mr. Thornton, and replied: "My father and sister are looking for a house, maybe at night to come back. But how do you know when we're coming?"

"Mr. Bell wrote to me and told me the date and time of your arrival. I thought you should take a good rest. So I decided to come to visit this afternoon, but it seems that I haven't considered it comprehensively enough." Then, he decided to go back and go to the station. Send someone to help you find a house that is suitable for living and affordable.

He was on good terms with Mr. Bell, which led Mr. Bell to say a great deal about the Hales in his letters.Before resigning from the priesthood, the family's economic situation can only be considered barely in the middle class.Because of the travel and lack of work, they cannot afford the exorbitant rent.But if the house is cramped and dark, it is extremely unseemly for them!

"No, no, it's a great honor for our family to have you come to visit!" Su Li said in a high tone, as if she was not affected by the adverse effects of the change of region at all: "Look! Although our family It used to be respectable, but not now! Papa resigned from his respected post because of ideals and doubts in his heart, and came here. We are flattered by your visit. I will tell Papa as soon as he comes back. He's visiting you."

"It shouldn't be." Mr. Thornton felt quite fresh when he saw the vivid little girl in front of him. In Milton, there are two types of young daughters——

One is that, like his sister Fanny, she is rich because of the family's factory, and she looks a little ridiculously arrogant every day when she is dressed up.

The other is the female workers who can be seen everywhere in the factory. They are emaciated, with numb faces and gray clothes, like the sky in Milton, where there is no light.

But he had never appreciated a girl like Su Li who was so lively and elegant in her every move in Milton.Such a girl is recognizably either from London, or from a decent family in a slow-paced town in the South, a well-bred lady who loves land and flowers.

"I want to be Mr. Hale's student, so I should come to visit him." After saying this, he lowered his head and took a sip of the not-so-mellow black tea in the hotel. For him who has a family business now, the taste of this cup of black tea is good enough!

It is now November, and Milton is at its worst in terms of weather and environment.Drinking such a cup of milk tea is enough for him, a person who doesn't have much requirements for the quality of life!

"Tell me about life in the South! You are from Helstone, Hampshire, aren't you? It must be very different from Milton."

Su Li nodded, and described the wonderful south in her mind to Mr. Thornton with great interest: "It's green! It's pink! It's golden! There are large forests and vast plains. When the westerly wind blows, it will make people feel refreshed, like lying in the clouds! The sky is high and vast, although it often rains to make Hellstone wet. But the forsythia and winter jasmine in the garden , yellow cicadas, yellow thorn roses, pink roses, and roses are all fresh and refined under the moisture of the rain! I like them! There is no cuter flower than them!"

She talked and dreamed: "I wish Dad and Margaret could find a house with a yard, so that I could grow my favorite flowers in it! I am a good gardener, whether it is delicate roses or The fragrant lavender I can handle them well!"

Thornton listened to the little girl's non-stop chatter, and smiled with a relaxed mood.South -

He doesn't yearn for the south, but he yearns for the garden at home that the girl described.It must have been warm and peaceful there in the sun.

But he was used to hearing the roar of the machines in the factory!He loves the sound of machines turning!This made him feel supremely safe and satisfied.

As for the house with a yard that the girl wanted, he didn't say anything.In Milton, the rent for a house with a yard was not within the reach of the Hales.

This was Milton, not the nearby still-closed village of Cranford.

The author has something to say:

The BBC has always been able to capture the beauty of the British countryside and make people yearn for it.I personally like the opening titles of the 1975 version of South and North, and of course I also like the opening titles of Cranford! I also like the opening title of Emma in the 09 version, and I also like the painting at the beginning of the 80 version of Pride and Prejudice!In short, I like the classic British dramas produced by the BBC!Big Love!
