Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2425 Sonia ([-])
She listened carefully, the nursery room was very quiet, her daughter should still be sleeping.She put on a nightgown and got up to wash.

Lisbon's noble lady, Sonia Lili Hapoel, is an out-and-out blond beauty, but due to the constraints of the times and years of wandering at sea, Lin Hanlong's hygienic habits when he first came to Lin's house made Lin Hanlong, who considers himself a "rough guy" The men were dumbfounded.

It took Lin Hanlong a lot of effort just to get her into the habit of washing her face every day - he had to remind her every day that if he was not at home, this task would be handed over to Lin Hanlong's maid, Lin Yuyu.

Now, she has adapted to the new Australian hygiene habits: washing face and brushing teeth in the morning, washing hands before meals, and taking a shower at night.However, when Lin Hanlong was not around, Sonia would often skip taking a bath at night. After all, taking a bath is easy to catch a cold, and a cold is easy to kill—she has seen too many such examples.

After washing, Sonia came to the living room outside. As the territory of the Senate continued to expand, many seniors left the dormitory area of ​​Bairen City one after another to build more comfortable new residences near their workplaces.This dormitory area, which was originally complained that "two maids will sleep in the living room", has gradually appeared the phenomenon of "population shrinking".Too many empty apartments to come.The general office transferred the extra apartment to the veterans who stayed in Lingao to solve the problem of tight space.

Lin Hanlong's original apartment was only a small apartment of 40 square meters. In the past, he and his maid lived alone. Naturally, there was no inconvenience. Since Sonia came, it was obviously not enough for use.So the office was allocated to a medium-sized apartment, which was quite convenient to use after getting through.It's just that after having a child recently, the general hospital has specially assigned a nanny, so the housing is a little tight.Fortunately, there were many vacant apartments, and the office gave him another small vacant apartment.

On the table in the living room is the breakfast Lin Guanyu prepared for her.

"I'm just a member of this Australian harem." Every time she saw Lin Guanyu, she couldn't help thinking sadly.

However, Lin Yuyu did not have as many emotions as she did. She neither expressed much welcome nor anger for Sonia's arrival.The relationship between the two was somewhat awkward at first, but slowly Sonia got used to her existence.The maid handles the housework at home, teaches Sonia how to live in this family, uses various facilities that she has never seen before, teaches her simple Chinese, takes her shopping, goes to the special supply shop of the elders, and takes her into life secretaries. social circle.Gradually, she became one of the indispensable figures in Sonia's life - because Lin Hanlong was rarely at home, and often had to turn to the maid for help when encountering difficulties.

Due to the language, it was difficult for Sonia and Lin Yuyu to communicate at first. It was not until a few years later that her language skills improved a lot that they had a deeper communication.Sonia soon learned that Lin Guanyu had a miserable life experience and how she came to Lin Hanlong's side.

As a scientist, Sonia was very curious about Lin Guanyu's views on her own situation, but Lin Guanyu's reaction was that she had no opinion.

"The chief is very good to me, as long as you want me. I will stay here forever. If you don't want me any more," Lin Guanyu said here with a trace of sadness, "the office will take care of me."

Lin Guanyu is very satisfied with the status quo, because without the Senate and without Lin Hanlong, she "would have died a long time ago", let alone "live such a good life".Her biggest regret is "not giving birth to a child for Chief Lin".

Sonia can somewhat understand Lin Yuyu. In her father's plantation, the biggest dream of those black slaves who were trafficked long distances is to meet a master and overseer who is not too harsh, so as not to squeeze and torture them excessively.After all, what can a woman who once had nothing and is dying expect?Just like himself, if he hadn't fallen into the hands of the British, he might already be living in hell.

Breakfast is toast—this can be regarded as some changes after Sonia came to this house. The Lin family ordered more bread, cheese and butter from the special food store in Nanhai Farm.Although Lin Hanlong lived in the United States for many years in the old time and space, he still has a Chinese stomach and is more used to eating Chinese-style breakfast.

Sonia, as a Portuguese, ate rice - the Iberian Peninsula was grown and eaten under the influence of the Arabs who once ruled here.But rice food is just a decoration after all, and she is more used to bread.

The bread sent by the Nanhai farm special food store is soft and exquisite—although 20% bran is added for health reasons, and its delicacy is much higher than that of any bread that Sonia has ever eaten—about only Italian butter buns baked just for the ladies are comparable.

The slices of bread have been carefully toasted and browned on both sides. If it is hot, it must be very delicious, but unfortunately it is already cold.Sonia didn't care about this. She picked up the knife, uncovered the white napkin, cut a thick slice from the butter plate, spread it on the bread, and ate it.

There was fresh milk in the milk jug, and Sonia poured herself a full glass, and added two tablespoons of sugar--too much sugar is probably one of the few "eating habits" of her, and she is essentially a diet very simple people.A man who has grown up on a colonial sugar plantation and has been at sea doesn't know much about his diet.Bread, butter and dairy products are enough.

After breakfast, she quietly came to the nursery, where the nurse was dozing in the armchair—she was exhausted, too, and the little girl was snoring in the rattan cradle.

She looked at her daughter's face carefully with love and joy. The daughter's face was a mixture of European and East Asian features. The slightly curly hair belonged to her, and the black hair was obviously her father's. A pair of big Eyes—"This is mine too," she thought.And the daughter's nose seems to be a combination of their characteristics: it is neither too high nor too big, and it feels just right.

Sonia remembered that she had had a strong interest in mixed races—she had seen many mixed races on the plantation, black and white, and Indians and whites or blacks.Because of the different races, nationalities, and algebras of the mixed blood, the appearance and characteristics of the mixed blood are very different.Each interbreeding brings certain traits to the next generation of children.These characteristics will gradually fade with the generation of mixed blood, and sometimes they will suddenly reappear.This aroused her curiosity, and she began to collect data for research in the plantation, but this research was mercilessly laughed at by her brothers.

Unexpectedly, I also gave birth to a mixed-race child, what a wonderful thing this is!Recalling the scenes of pregnancy and childbirth, she still couldn't believe it. It was amazing that she actually "made" a person...

She reached into the quilt of the cradle and felt it. The diaper and sleeping pad were both dry, and the nanny probably changed them for her.If it weren't for the nanny sent by the office, she would be really worried-she has never taken care of a child.

The nanny suddenly woke up, and the middle-aged woman hurriedly got up and said, "Girl..."

Sonia made a "hush" gesture and asked in a low voice, "Is she awake?"

"Woke up once at 09:30, changed her diaper, fed her milk and fell asleep again." The nanny said, "She made a fuss too late last night and was exhausted."

Sonia said, "Do you see how big this kid is?"

"That's useless! The children of the elders are all big!" the nanny said flatteringly, "The baby who is only eight months old weighs more than [-] catties! At the mother and child center, the eight-month-old boys are not so heavy!"

Sonia converted "jin" and "pound" in her heart. In fact, she didn't know how big or heavy the eight-month-old child should be, but every time she took the child to Bairen General Hospital for a physical examination, she saw the same weight. The age of the baby seems to be smaller.

"This child drinks milk every day, so of course he has grown up." The nanny said with a little boast. "She has teeth, and when she eats food supplements, she will grow even bigger."

Sonia returned to the living room, but Lin Yuyu was not at home—she was out shopping.Sonia knows that shopping is more about meeting colleagues, which is their pastime.

Lin Hanlong wasn't at home either—the days he was at home were few and far between in a month, and most of the time he spent the night in the single-room dormitory of the optics factory.So much so that some people joked that Cai Junjie, who has been with him all year round, is Lin Hanlong's wife.

Sonia admired and respected this master very much, and also had a little love.He is different from all the men I have ever seen. He is a combination of a rough man and a scholar. He can stare at the machine for hours in a noisy workshop, and he can also explain a lot of profound knowledge with eloquence.His clothes and enjoyment can be said to be simple to rough, but his exquisiteness is not even comparable to that of the Roman emperor and the Turkish sultan.

Such contradictions were more or less reflected in every elder she knew.But there is one thing they have in common. No matter how humble the elders are on the surface, they are proud in their bones.This kind of pride neither comes from blood, nor from position, nor from religious belief.It's a heartfelt recognition of one's own thoughts and knowledge—speaking of which, the Australian veterans are the most worthy of study.

Sonia went back to the bedroom, made the bed, and changed into the clothes she had gone out.At eleven o'clock she made an appointment for fitness.Then have a simple lunch outside and go to the museum in the afternoon.She has a separate office there, where she can do her research in peace.But her main job this afternoon is to prepare lessons, and in the evening she will give a big natural history class to the students in Fangcaodi.
