57 Trivia
(Transition Chapter)
Katie's leave application was not approved, and she flew back to London on Saturday morning, along with a handwritten resignation report from Mr. Lin.
Lin Yilong spent two more days in Pujiang, and stayed up late to watch football in his apartment with a close friend who worked for a certain Zhangjiang payment company, and returned home with the regret that he supported the team and failed to win.
Katie's departure reduced the planned place of life that she originally wanted to stay in China for a month to two weeks, and Lin Yilong originally wanted to take advantage of Katie's paid vacation to take her to some places she had never been to. Why didn't Davis give Lin Yilong a chance to realize his romantic plan.
Lin Yilong's daily schedule for returning to China is usually full, but this year he didn't have so many blind dates, and several of his friends and friends got married one after another and established their own families, so he enjoyed loneliness in his hometown alone. For a few days at home, there was nothing to do except rest, except for accompanying Father Lin to breakfast and dinner, the most common thing to do all day long was to face the computer, do nothing, and be in a daze.
Father Lin saw his son's state, so he urged him to return to London as soon as possible and return to his own life, even if he was a little reluctant, after all, the father and son had become two families with different rhythms of life.
Maybe it's not exact with the two families, but if you think about it carefully, it's true: before Lin Yilong went abroad, his life was bound to his parents, and after he found a job to live alone, he would be independent - Lin's father and Lin's mother couldn't be consistent with his life just because of his wishes, and he couldn't stay in China to start his career completely according to his parents' instructions.
The suggestion to return to London somewhat followed Lin Yilong's plan, but it also brought some changes to Lin Yilong's summer plans. Lin Yilong's original plan was to have a "symbolic" reunion with his mother at home, and then take a train to Vladivostok to take the Trans-Siberian Railway. If he wants to return to London, Lin Yilong needs to change planes to stay with Lin Mu for two days, and then make a detour back to London.
Lin Yilong's wish to "eat his mother's own cooking" failed to come true, but he had to prepare breakfast for his mother for two days. Lin's mother was very busy at work, working overtime for many days in a row, and lunch and dinner were provided by her employer, leaving Lin Yilong alone. He had to replace his lunch and dinner with instant noodles and roadside snacks, and left disappointed on the plane.
Back on the plane, there was a young and beautiful East Asian girl sitting next to him. She looked younger than the Yenne sisters, with plump, round faces and vigorous eyes, with a sense of longing for a new life and a little stranger wariness.
The two remained silent until the girl couldn't order food because she couldn't speak English, so Lin Yilong helped her translate the plane meal at the request of the flight attendant, and it was good to have a companion to spend a boring 11-hour flight, and when the girl gradually let down her guard, the two of them talked like this.
From the conversation, Lin Yilong learned that the girl was going to study in a language school in London for three months before learning dance, so Lin Yilong told her some of his experience of studying abroad. The girl listened very seriously, so serious that she took out her notes and wrote down all the points that Lin Yilong said, knowing that she could go to Leicester Square to eat Western food, go to New Merdan to experience Japanese and Korean cuisine, and be sure to avoid the Thames NA and Tower areas.
This trip is not particularly boring, Lin Yilong completely regards this girl as his junior, these small life tips may not have a profound impact on the life of young international students, and they can still avoid many detours and save a lot of living costs. When he learned that this girl was going to live with a host family, Lin Yilong shared his understanding of the host family with her.
The plane landed, and the relationship between the two ended here, without knowing each other's names, the two said goodbye like saints - if you don't count the girl's acceptance of a Lin Yilong business card with only the phone number and name.
The heat wave is unbearable.
The summer in London was a bit out of the ordinary, and what was supposed to be a crisp summer was like a stove. The most important place to visit at this time is either the Lake District or the Scottish Highlands.
Lin Yilong has a more important job, and the work visas of the Yeons and the workers he recruited are approved, and they are about to leave for London.
Forestry workers are relatively easy to accommodate, and Lin Yilong has rented some houses in the town of Mastach, which is enough for these people and their relatives to live temporarily. How to house the Yeon sisters' parents became a problem - Lin Yilong's bottom line was not to let them move into his apartment within half a mile, and as far away as possible. Obviously, the Yeang sisters wanted their parents to live as close to them as possible, and because of this disagreement, Lin Yilong was unable to book a suitable apartment for the Yaang couple in London for them to live in London before the Yaang family set off.
Another reason for the difficulty of arranging a temporary residence is that the Yeons' parents did not come to London on tourist medical visas, but on a very secure T2 work visa, and if they fail to register with the South Wales Police Department, their work permits are in danger of being cancelled – the Yeons must register with the West Gramorgan County Police before they can register as "ordinary patients" to be accepted by the clinic. But as a result, the Yeons are restricted by their registered address in the UK, and they need to first go to a local clinic general practitioner for an initial consultation, then be referred to a specialist for pathological research, and then transferred to a hospital for chemotherapy, and the health insurance agency that pays the bill for chemotherapy can accept transfers, but only if the hospital does not use the hospital beds during the chemotherapy period.
If you choose a place to live according to the hospital, the choice of hospital is also a problem, although the medical treatment in Wales is cheap, Lin Yilong does not know much about the quality of radiation therapy. Lin Yilong's first choice of hospital was St. Thomas's Hospital on the HN bank of Thames, but this hospital had a very big drawback - he personally did not want to go to the south bank, and it was impossible for him to find an apartment for the Yeon couple on the south bank. Lin Yilong could only book a standard room in the hotel where the sisters were temporarily staying, so that their parents could stay there temporarily, and then talk to them about possible hospital options – Vera studied clinical medicine and knew much more about London's hospitals than he did.
This summer, Lin Yilong had a very unsuccessful life, and the two travel routes he had arranged - a cruise along the Yangtze River and a railway across the whole of Siberia - were ruthlessly canceled, and even the reunion with his parents for dinner was rescheduled, and the rest of the medical arrangements for Mr. Yeon were also very unsmooth.
