There are reasons why all the girls oppose Lin Yilong's plan to cross Siberia to his homeland: Katie is the main collaborator of Lin Yilong's "abandoned oil well development" program in Tyumen and Novosibirsk, Nadia's chemical plant and Vera's pharmaceutical factory are also in Siberia, and Amy, because she is always invited to give guest performances in Perm, Yekaterinburg and Krasnoyarsk, which she is also familiar with.

Lin Yilong thought that if he entered the country through the port of Central Asia through northern Xinjiang, he could eat a lot of classic red willow mutton skewers, which would not be a particularly big loss.

However, after two and a half months of visiting from Astrakhan to Tashkent, all the inhabitants of the Bracken Forest Farm were a little tired of the lamb and the rich dishes. Considering that they would continue to encounter mutton before taking the western end of the Longhai line to Suzhou, at Lin Yilong's suggestion, they turned around and went to Omsk and Tomsk, and then to Irkutsk and Ulaanbaatar.

The whistling north wind tested the off-road performance of the RV on the slightly complicated terrain and uninhabited grassland. They did not enter the country directly at the Erlian port and returned to Ulan-Ude. But having come to the Far East, it is impossible not to go to Primorye.

All in all, Lin Yilong's last "foreign journey" was to return to China from the port of Pogranichny via the port of the Fenhe River.

Border inspectors did not review Lin Yilong's overstay abroad, and if they did, it would be very difficult for Lin Yilong to explain. As for the others, they stayed at the Bracken Tree Farm, waiting for Lin Yilong to finish the immigration formalities before joining him.

"This is a border county of the Celestial Empire. After entering the country, he drove on the streets of Fenhe, Lin Yilong said.

"Swansea is also the county seat. Katie replied.

"Vladimir is also the county seat. Nadia interjected.

"Kazan is also a county seat. Vera complained.

"Guangming is also a county seat. Amy followed.

"......" turned over and over, and the meaning of the county seat H was different, so that Lin Yilong could not indicate the meaning of his so-called "county seat".

No matter what, after returning from nearly three years away from the motherland, Lin Yilong is still very comfortable with everything.

In Fenhe, Lin Yilong also has a classmate named Zhao Zexun.

Zhao Zexun was Lin Yilong's classmate when he was in college, and later took the civil service examination and was assigned to work at the Fenhe River port. The relationship between the two is only that of the roommates in the bedroom next door, but I haven't seen him pass by his home for so many years, and it's always okay to come out at night to invite him to eat and blow water.

The two of them made an appointment at a barbecue restaurant and ordered Russian skewers and other things like tofu rolls.

"We haven't seen each other in nearly 20 years. Zhao Zexun sighed, you seem to be about the same as 30 years old! ”

"It's just a pity that there is less and less hair. Lin Yilong pointed to his thinning hair, "Maybe it's a matter of water, I have a lot of hair loss." ”

"Look you don't have any wrinkles or gray hair. ”

"Eat and sleep on time, and work and rest regularly. Lin Yilong replied, "I don't have to worry about family affairs at all, so I feel okay." ”

"You remember when we were in college, I was called Uncle Face, and now the age is finally keeping up. Lin Yilong then quipped, "So, it's normal for you to think I'm young." ”

"Are you married?" asked Zhao Zexun.

"No, I'm still a single aristocrat, but I already have a daughter. Lin Yilong took out a photo of him and Policelli in front of the Prince Albert Belfast Clock Tower, "They have just gone to university and are in London to make up for some of their father's regrets." ”

"What university?"

"Imperial College. Lin Yilong replied with pride as a father.

Lin Yilong also attended two class reunions after that. It's no secret that class reunions are much more social than the old ones. Since it is a social behavior, there must be a central figure, and when everyone wants to be the center, the comparison between each other will inevitably begin. Just like when Lin's mother's classmates compared their children's studies and careers, Lin Yilong's classmates would also make comparisons with their career achievements and their wives and husbands at the class reunions they attended.

Lin Yilong has never liked social networks very much, and he is not willing to go to his own homepage space or social network Po status, and there is no necessary business contact in China. In class reunions, I can only watch other students push cups and change lamps, and business blows to each other - the current topic of touting is the amount of pension and the whereabouts of children.

By the way, Zhao Zexun's child is also a girl, who graduated from a second-batch college in the provincial capital, and is now working as a customs clerk in an import and export company in Fenhe, getting married and having children step by step.

"After driving 27,000 kilometers, I finally got home. Lin Yilong poured himself a glass of kvass that looked like beer, "I didn't think this journey was long when I was on a plane before, but driving back to China really made me feel like 'being at the end of the world', and now it's really good." ”

"Then you won't leave at all this time, right?"

"I'm here to come back to relax, after all, my current career focus is already there, and there is no salary in China that particularly appeals to me. Lin Yilong did not hesitate to share his next plan, "This time I plan to drive my car to the Lion City and then drive back." When I went back to London, I planned to take the southern route, which was the Persian Gulf and Asia Minor. ”

"It's a lot of life experience. Zhao Zexun said enviously, "If only I could be like you." ”

"Don't be envious, the work itself is hard everywhere. Lin Yilong said, "You see that you now have a house, a pension, medical insurance, and other subsidies." My current 30-year mortgage was only paid off at the beginning of this year, and I still have to save some money for my daughters, and I have to save for my own retirement - I actually envy you more, at least I don't have to worry so much about how to eat tomorrow. ”

"Doesn't Europe say that welfare is everywhere?"

"I thought so before, but being a student to spend or a brick movers, earning their money is completely different, it's a different life experience. Lin Yilong replied with a smile.

Lin Yilong resolutely did not lie, in order to avoid taxes, he borrowed the purchase money of the villa in Surrey County from his trust, and indeed repaid the mortgage until the time the house was sold in January. As for the endowment insurance, the part of the pension insurance is indeed being paid, but it is only a benchmark file.

The two got together until nearly the early hours of the morning before breaking up, and Lin Yilong felt that time passed quickly, as if he was still in class with these classmates yesterday, but now he has entered his old age and changed the era.
