Chapter 594 (1/2)
After spending the new year in Moscow, when people began to speculate and were not on time, they were finally able to set out.
It's my first flight. I'm very excited.
Worried about being laughed at as a country bumpkin, the whole trip was very careful.
The parents were also given a week's escort time. They prepared well before leaving. In order to buy some better clothes, the subsidy of 10 million rubles was almost spent.
If it was in the past, I would not be willing to.
It was learned that when she arrived in London, she would be able to earn 1000 pounds a month.
10 million pounds, 6 million rubles.
It's still about two years' income for their mother and daughter.
Other girls are not very clear. She doesn't plan to give all to her mother this time. It's very clear that this is their living expenses.
Natalia has no luck with her.
Uncle Yuri went back while he was waiting, and all 10 million rubles were used up, but they didn't waste money. His five brothers and sisters and some relatives need help. It seems that one of her uncles borrowed 2 million rubles in order to cure her child. As a result, Natalia didn't even buy a new suit when she came to London, and her living expenses will probably be reduced in the future Uncle Yuri took the family allowance. Uncle Yuri was a very arbitrary person, and Natalia never dared to oppose her father's decision.
Originally thought that after arriving in London, it would be very rare to have the living conditions of Moscow Hotel.
I didn't expect that it would be a very imposing single family villa. It's located in the very prosperous Chelsea District of London. A few hundred meters away is the Thames River. The beautiful red and white four story villa is a section higher than the surrounding buildings. There is not only a private courtyard behind the villa, but also a park opposite the main horse road.
For the first time, she and other girls dare not settle down in the luxurious villa with carpet everywhere, including parents.
And there are so many rooms in the villa.
They have a group of 10 girls, and each of them has a bedroom with a bathroom.
Although, OK.
The size of the bedrooms is not the same. She found that her bedroom on the second floor of the villa is the smaller of the 10 girls. Even Natalia's bedroom next door is bigger than hers. There are two girls' bedrooms on the fourth floor, and even a living room.
The rooms had been assigned before they arrived in London, and a name plate with each person's name was attached to the door. Girls who were assigned to small rooms could only accept them.
But some parents have raised objections.
But the girls who were assigned a good room naturally refused to exchange. Neither Ms. burns, the villa housekeeper, nor Ms. Wendy Allan, their guardian, said that they had no authority to exchange bedrooms for the girls. If parents and girls are not satisfied, they can only be dissatisfied.
In fact, she knew there was another choice.
Leave.
Unless, of course, people are crazy.
It's five forty.
The alarm clock in the bedroom rang on time, interrupting Natalie's wandering thoughts. She turned on the light and began to dress and wash quickly.
On the first day of their stay, the girls' schedule had been set.
Ms. Allan explained that big people are used to getting up at six o'clock. As life assistants, they have no reason to get up later than their hosts.
There's no reason.
It's just that some people who admire big people can still get up at six o'clock.
If it wasn't for this opportunity, Natalie couldn't do it himself.
It's six o'clock sharp.
Instead of leaving the room in a hurry, he opened the door and stood at the door.
Ms. burns, still dressed in black as a witch, soon appeared with her shadow translation miss isakova.
”Good morning, Ms. bernsch.”
Natalie took the initiative to say hello in simple English, which he had just learned in recent days.
MS burns stopped and responded politely: ”good morning, miss vojanova. May I come in?”
Can I say no?
make complaints about Natalie's face, and still smile with a cute smile: ”of course.”
Also on the first day of stay, Ms. burns taught the girls the first lesson of how to organize their own rooms, including the storage and placement of bedding, pillow, towel, dental appliance, etc. at the same time, she also said that this is only a primary correction, and there will be a formal course in the future.
Entering Natalie's bedroom for a brief inspection and guidance, Ms. burns nodded slightly with satisfaction, indicating that she could go down to the practice room.
The training room is in the basement.
Natalie also learned yesterday that there is such a spacious space under the villa. In her opinion, the 200 square meter training room is just for her 10 girls, which is too wasteful.
When she comes to the training room, Natalia and several other girls have arrived and are warming up under the guidance of teacher Yulia.
Miss Yulia schulshigina is their classical ballet teacher. She is also from Russia. She looks about 30 years old. She is very beautiful and has a good figure, but she is not tall, only about 1.7 meters. In her introduction yesterday, Ms. Burns said that she had been in the ballet company of the Moscow Grand Theatre and was an excellent dancer. Natalie happened to know that it was one of the three most famous ballet companies in the Soviet Union.Politely to the morning, Natalie took the initiative to stand beside Natalia and began to imitate teacher Yulia's action to warm up.
In fact, I don't understand why people want to learn classical ballet.
Teacher Yulia is a quiet woman. She met for the first time yesterday. She just introduced herself and then began to instruct them what to do.
Even if they don't understand, the girls certainly don't have any room to refuse.
And I didn't have a chance to learn before.
Probably because of the dancers, teacher Yulia has a very elegant temperament, and Natalie hopes to do the same in the future.
Of course, that kind of melancholy is probably the impact of frustrated life.
It can be seen that teacher Yulia's life is not satisfactory. That kind of restlessness and hesitation is almost the same as that of her mother in the most difficult period of last year.
All the 10 girls are here to start the primary ground training. The simple and boring practice lasted until eight o'clock. I went back to my room, changed my clothes and finally had breakfast.
As a rule, Ms. burns has to teach her dining etiquette. When the girls eat, the other party will walk around the table all the time, and if there is any mistake, they will open their mouth and correct it. Therefore, everyone is very careful, and it is impossible to talk to each other. They even feel that if they make mistakes, they may be punished for starvation.
Probably not.
Natalie thinks so, but secretly pays attention to the tableware in his hand.
The knives and forks are heavy, maybe pure silver.
It must be valuable.
After breakfast, the guardian, Ms. Wendy Allan, came to pick them up and finally got rid of the control of the witch.
Ten girls take two business buses to Sao Paulo girls' school, which is only two or three kilometers away.
Two days ago on Saturday had come, is still a variety of small tests, fortunately, no one was eliminated this time. Today is Monday. It's school time. The girls get off at the school gate and follow Ms. Alan into the school gate. There are also girls coming from all over with schoolbags on their backs.
Natalie's first feeling is that English girls are ugly.
Red face, freckled, buckteeth, fat figure, curly and sparse hair.
All right.
In fact, there are also beautiful ones, but very few.
And they are generally not tall.
Among the 10 girls, only three are about 160cm. Well, she counts one of them, the other seven are all over 170cm, and the other two have reached 180cm. Therefore, walking on the crowded campus corridor is like a group of swans crossing the chicken flock.
As for appearance and figure.
Just look at those girls with envious eyes.
I can't help but feel proud.
Although it, in fact, she also knows what she looks like, the bottom of the 10 girls, but still better than the surrounding chicks.
Entering the red brick teaching building of some years, they have their own classroom.
I don't know what local girls learn. For the time being, there is only one course for them: English.
There are three classes in the morning, one is basic grammar, and two are common dialogues and practice.
Natalie felt like he was being stuffed.
She didn't know much about basic grammar. She often used two dialogues and practice exercises. She needed to write down 30 groups of dialogues directly.
