tenth year of teaching

Chapter 248 Johannesburg 3
The house is cheap, the yard is big, the life is comfortable, and the education is good. Are these things the same everywhere?Chinese say no, I need to be busy and full.
"The local white man who lives in the building opposite will go out an hour after you leave. The mistress will go out half an hour later, and the nanny will play in the yard with the two children, one old and one small, for about an hour. Then I go back with the black cleaning staff to tidy up the room and prepare lunch. They have a small banquet every Friday night at 05:30, and they will treat guests to a party at home, but it is a very quiet one, not noisy. The children are also very polite , we met once in the courtyard, but before Shi Shi got to know them well, they went out for vacation. "

Dabei was still a little surprised that Chu Xia described his neighbors in such detail. "You just stare at them all day?"

"Where is it? I just watched it casually while I was basking in the sun on the balcony after dinner and taking your son to play in the yard? No, I didn't even watch it, so I just ran into it? No, I just knew it anyway." Think about it in early summer I didn't pay much attention to the other person, it was just some trivial matters in life.

"You? Are you too bored at home? The weekend has been arranged, let's go out and play together for two days." Dabei was a little worried. For men, women tend to cause trouble when they are free, such as bickering and the like. Now The state of early summer seems to be on the verge of doing nothing.

"Great!" Chu Xia Surprise said, "But I don't have nothing to do. I play with my children every day. I also have to clean the house, wash clothes, give children a bath, and read books..." She counted on her fingers.

“Isn’t it necessary to clean the house and do the laundry?”

"How can black people be clean when they work? You still need to come to some places by yourself, and you have to wash your children's clothes yourself." Chu Xia pouted.

Dabei asked tentatively: "You see, the people here are pretty good. They don't hire black nannies across the street, most of them look after them."

Chu Xia glanced at him: "I know, the house prices here are very low, and the yard is very big. In the wealthy area opposite, there is a yard of several hundred square meters plus a second floor, and a swimming pool at home. It would be perfect if everything is done well. The price is about RMB 150 million. In addition, you can also hire local black people for long-term work to do cleaning, cooking, and nannying. You can laze at home and bask in the sun."

"You know all this?" Dabei was even more surprised.

"Tch, when we were out for a walk, we saw a sign for sale, so we just chatted with the owner."

"You chat with others? Why didn't I know your English was so good?"

"Just because your grammar is not good, it doesn't mean you can't communicate. You can also have fun chatting by skipping words. I even went in and took a look. There is also a garage and a basement. The layout of the house is also good." Chu Xia also wondered, when did he become Outfield?Before getting married, I rarely went out without a partner, so I just stayed at home during holidays.After marriage?No, to be precise, it was after I gave birth to my child that I couldn't hold back the winter that year. After that, I seemed to be fighting monsters and leveling up all of a sudden. I only like to go to lively places.

Chu Xia finished folding the clothes in her hands, smiled at him, and hugged the child, "Shitou, let's go and play with my brother. Dad is tired from working all day, so let him rest for a while."

Dabei seemed to have gotten to know his wife again. She no longer lost her temper at will, and was able to reconcile her own anxieties and problems as much as possible. Unlike before, the two of them only blamed each other when facing problems.

Let's go to Sun City together on the weekend, bypassing the "dangerous" old town, and seeing the modern buildings dotting the center of the city.The group was all men, about ten or so people. Chu Xia asked strangely: "Why isn't your responsible eldest sister here?"

"She doesn't like this kind of party."

"Then her parents and children can play together?"

"They are going to Cape Town soon and are going to the winery." Dabei said casually.It was only later that Chu Xia found out that there was actually a competitive relationship between the two, and they didn't like each other.

There are few tourists in sun city in winter, but according to the ticket office, it is already considered hot.Play activities organized by many schools, but most of them are black public schools.

Dabei explained: "Local black people generally go to public schools, which have less academic burden and don't have to pay any tuition fees. They are basically at the bottom when they come out. Most of the boys do manual labor, and the girls work as nannies and cleaners. Most whites and Chinese are Go to a private school, starting from kindergarten to middle school, but the tuition is also expensive, and you can work in the upper class. Next week I will take you to meet a Chinese who has been here since [-]. Their family has been here for decades, and their children are basically It’s localized. All three daughters go to a private school, and the monthly tuition for each child is RMB [-]. For three, the tuition fee is about RMB [-]. It may not be high in China, but it’s not bad here.”

Chu Xia nodded. It has been known for a long time that there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in foreign countries. Naturally, it starts from the education of children. After being a teacher for many years, I still have this understanding.

There are monkeys everywhere in the square, and there are sculptures of elephants and orangutans on both sides of the corridor. They have a lot of fun playing with rocks and running around.Chu Xia was panting after chasing after him. He turned around and saw that the cafe next to the square was full of locals. The adults were drinking coffee leisurely, and no one was paying attention to their children who had disappeared long ago.

"Aren't they afraid of losing their children?" Chu Xia wondered.

"Every family here has several children, and even those who are willing to have children cannot raise them. No one steals children, unlike in China. You just let them play by themselves."

When Xiao Shitou saw the clown in the distance, he screamed and ran over. His small body was about to disappear into the crowd.Chu Xia endured it again and again, but still chased after her, "Stone Stone, slow down, wait for mom."

Inside the maze, the earth-yellow stone walls occasionally turn around, and a cluster of purple-red octagonal plum blossoms stand out against the blue sky, which is particularly gorgeous.With eight different flavors of beer, Shi Shi secretly drank one, blushed and chased pigeons with a smile.Castles with spire buildings, turquoise artificial sea water and beaches, and long suspension bridges wrapped like bird's nests.The exotic scenery finally relaxed the busy mood in early summer.

The child was taken away to play by his uncle. In early summer, he was leaning on a chair in the outdoor bar, drinking beer and basking in the sun.

"very nice."

"What?" Dabei smiled beside him.

"Life is so good!" She tilted her head and added: "Life is so good like this!"

"Do you want to immigrate?" Dabei teased deliberately.

"do not want!"

"why?"

"No matter how good it is, it's not home."

"Anjia is not home anymore."

"It's not here at all. There are old people and relatives and friends." Chu Xia frowned: "I'm too old to give up everything and settle down in a strange place. Besides, it's too deserted. It's still lively at home, and it's not as safe as at home. , at least at home I don’t worry about safety when I go out in the middle of the night.”

Dabei nodded. China's development in recent years has made Chinese people abroad straighten their waists.
