Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 26 Chapter Family

Chapter 26
Baojian Town is a small town not far from the urban area, but both sides of the road have changed from the dense buildings in the urban area to flat grassland and scattered trees dotted in the field.

The uncle driver was more talkative along the way, especially concerned about the work and living conditions in the UK.Because his children also went to England after finishing their university studies.

Although the relationship between the UK and Ireland is very general in history, many Irish people will go to work in the UK because of the economy and the language exchange between the two sides.

Maybe now is not the time to commute to get off work, and the traffic jam along the way is not very serious.It only took about half an hour for the taxi to travel through a distance of more than ten kilometers to this small town not far from Dublin.

Before Liang En discovered that the spot of light was in the city center of Dublin, but since this place is so close to home, he naturally went home first instead of going to the city center to find things.

"Finally home." Looking at this quiet town, Liang En sighed softly.One very lucky thing for him is that while the world has changed, nothing has changed for his loved ones.

There is only one road in the town, and some two- and three-story buildings with white walls and gray roofs stand on both sides of the road, because Liang En in this world grew up in the town, so the people he met along the way were basically acquaintance.

While saying hello, Liang En walked out of the town along the road.Because his family did not live in the town, but in a farm two or 300 meters away from the town.

The reason for getting on and off in the town is also very simple, that is, the road leading to the farm is a one-way street, and it is not easy for taxis to get in and out.

That's right, Liang En's family runs a farm of more than 300 acres in this life.

And it is precisely because of this farm that Liang En's father, who obtained a master's degree and a solid job at the school in the early 90s, gave up everything in the country and brought his newly pregnant mother across the ocean to come here.

"Here, finally home." After dragging the box to the gate of the yard, he first looked at the second-story building through the gap in the iron gate of the yard for a while, then took a deep breath and stepped forward to press the doorbell .

"Who?"

"Mom, I'm back." Liang En replied in Chinese at the top of his voice.

Soon, a middle-aged woman walked over from the side of the house.Wiping his hands on the apron as he walked.

"I heard you call before and said that I was going to make a meal for you when you came back today. Didn't you just touch the eggs from the chicken coop?"

Liang En's mother said to him while putting an egg in the pocket of the apron. "What I prepared for you tonight is all your favorite food—"

"By the way, where's dad?" After walking into the living room with his mother, Liang En put his suitcase aside and asked.

"You've been living a confused life. Today is Wednesday, not a weekend. So your dad should now teach students about Chinese culture and Northeast Asian culture in the elementary school in the town."

Liang En's mother was mainly responsible for the work on the farm, while his father worked as a mathematics teacher in the elementary school in the town.

Of course, Irish primary schools do not have classes until 6 pm, and there is a lot of time in the afternoon for those extra-curricular interest classes, and public primary schools in this kind of township also have the problem of insufficient staff.

So Liang En's father, in addition to taking math classes on a daily basis, also serves as the instructor of extracurricular interest classes in Chinese culture and Northeast Asian culture.

In fact, there are often two tendencies for those living abroad.One of them will imitate the various lifestyles of the local people as much as possible, thinking that only in this way can it be integrated into the surrounding environment.

The other will consciously retain those characteristics from the motherland, and even reflect the characteristics of their own nation as much as possible in their daily life.

It's hard to comment on which of these two approaches is better, but Liang En's family adopted the latter approach.

Even after his father realized that it was easy for his child to develop an ABC in the environment where there were only Chinese in the town, he specially reported to the principal and organized an after-school interest class on oriental culture.

This is why Liang En remembers that another person can speak very fluent Mandarin, and although he has a Western side in his daily habits, he can still see the obvious ethnicity.

"By the way, didn't you say you were working for an antique shop in London, why did you come back suddenly this time?" Just as Liang En stretched his paws to the snacks that had just come out of the oven on the dining table, his mother suddenly asked. "Isn't there something wrong?"

"You have to trust your son." Liang En burst out laughing, then went to the corridor and dragged the suitcase in, "I came back this time mainly to take a valuable thing back and put it away, and I came to the island to hunt for treasures by the way. .”

"Valuable things?" The mother who was washing the vegetables turned off the tap and walked over. "You can get good things with your luck of buying a lottery ticket every week but not even winning a minimum prize of two pounds in ten years?"

"Don't believe it, your son has really changed his luck this time—" Liang En opened his suitcase while talking, and then took out the copper pot and talked about his general situation in the past two months.

After more than ten minutes, his mother finally understood that her son was indeed promising and able to gain a foothold in society.

"It's great, it's a good thing to find a job that suits you—" Mom said, patting the back of Liang En's hand with some excitement.

After he graduated from university, his family had always hoped that he could find a stable job. It would be even better if he could be admitted to the civil service, but Liang En, who had a golden finger at that time, spent a lot of effort to convince his parents.Then go to London alone.

Contrary to what some people imagined, not only in China, civil servants in most countries around the world have a very good job.

Although the salary of this job is not high, the advantage is that it is not as busy as a private company, and at the same time, the job is stable.In addition, civil servants also often have a series of benefits such as various bonuses, allowances, and insurance.

Therefore, in the eyes of Liang En's parents, it is best to have such a decent and stable job after graduating from university. As for the family farm, it can be entrusted to a series of agricultural companies for operation.

This is also an important reason why he had to spend a lot of time and energy convincing his parents in advance when he decided to go out for a living.

But now his parents can finally rest assured, because even in a high-income country like the UK, earning hundreds of thousands within two months is definitely high income.

At around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Liang En's father also walked into the house, and then the family sat around the dining table and had dinner.After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, parents began to care about Liang En's life alone in London.

Of course, urging marriage is also something that cannot be avoided.At least in the eyes of his parents, Liang En has now gained a foothold in society, so it's time to start a family.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about this—" Looking at his parents, you were talking about this matter sentence by sentence, Liang En could only helplessly say with a smile.

It seemed that no matter which world he was in, he couldn't escape the fate of being urged to marry by his parents.
