After "playing" in the forest area for two days, Lin Yilong returned to his hometown.

I have to say that his parents' acquaintances and classmates drove to the countryside to contract and farm for the sake of food safety for themselves and their families, which gave him some inspiration.

Lin Yilong has a good relationship with his parents, and he gives his parents an international call if he has nothing to do, but he is not very willing to return to China.

Lin Yilong has practiced law in China for two years, and before that, he also worked as an immigration and study abroad agent, but he didn't like those jobs very much, and his income was not as high as in London, and he had to take into account the office politics that he had to "enjoy" every day and the internal friction with the judiciary. It's also 9 to 5 plus long overtime, tired in London - you can count on the support of your colleagues in the scope of work, and tired in Yanjing - although the work is not very intense, but you have to laugh at everyone.

Lin Yilong is about to enter the ranks of "Ben Si", and he is still single. This is also very normal in Western countries, and even in many cities in China. From the perspective of his parents, Lin Yilong's parents should be very concerned about Lin Yilong's marriage: according to Lin's father and Lin's mother, when he was at Lin Yilong's age, Lin Yilong was already at the age of "soy sauce". If he doesn't get married, when Lin Yilong reaches his forties and his career is at its peak, even if he is very successful, it will be difficult for his wife to marry - so every time he returns to China for two weeks on vacation, he needs to go to at least six or seven blind dates to see if there is any possibility of contact.

Obviously, these candidates were all rejected by Lin Yilong, otherwise they would not still "enjoy loneliness" before going to that club. The most important thing is nothing more than because of his financial pressure, his income has never been more, and he really has no money to support the second person.

Being in London and a senior assistant in a glorious profession, his salary is not low. Although it sounds good to say 120,000 pounds a year, that's the number on the tax return. His fixed salary is about £6,000 a month, minus income tax on salaries and other law firm benefits, £3,500 on pension insurance, and £2,500 left, but that's not all, he still needs to pay a residence tax of £120, a TV licence of nearly £26, and only about £2,300 of disposable income. Considering the London transport and rent that Lin Yilong still has to pay, as well as water and electricity, the monthly balance is almost "extremely poor" - as for the bonus part of the income tax share into the monthly income, almost all of it is used to buy private pensions.

If Lin Yilong has a British "account", he can apply for various tax exemptions through tax refunds, and the exemption amount is very objective - up to 800 pounds per month, which can make him have a lot more money. The problem now is that Lin Yilong doesn't, with his relatively meager actual income, he really can't afford to support two people. Lin Yilong once explained the reason for this to his parents in detail, and the number of his blind dates was reduced to 7.

The second reason is the issue of future aspirations, and most of the people he has met have privately told him that they do not want to live abroad, but want to stay in China and send money to their wives like men who go out to work. Lin Yilong always felt that accepting this method was likely to add a touch of vibrant emerald color to his hair, so he decisively cut off contact.

Putting forward such a plan may indeed not disgust Lin Yilong on the spot - Lin's father and Lin's mother are now living like this - but that is Lin Yilong's own struggle after studying abroad, from the age of 26 to the retirement age before Lin Yilong went abroad, nearly 30 years of living together made Lin's father absolutely trusting Lin's mother. Before you are fully acquainted with it, you have to live in two places, it is not a husband and wife, but XX in the name of husband and wife.

Let's put it this way, Lin Yilong's parents arranged so many blind date opportunities for him, but there was no indication that Lin Yilong changed his views and stayed in China. Marriage is the most stumbling over a man's hands, as the Scandinavian proverb says, "I used to be xx too, until I was hit by an arrow in the knee." ”

It was precisely in order to avoid these hopeless marriages that Lin Yilong did not tell his parents the specific date of his return to China, which caused Lin Yilong, who was dragging two large suitcases, to eat a closed door at the door of his house and suffer by himself.

Lin's father's work unit is not close to his home, and it happens to be the exam period, so he is very busy with work.

Lin's father is the director of the academic affairs office of a college in Lin Yilong's hometown city. He went to college and earned a bachelor's degree in engineering specializing in casting and welding. In the end, he was assigned to a vocational college under a state-owned enterprise as a lecturer at that time, which was a witness to the transformation of this vocational college into a junior college and from a junior college to a university college. As an old man, and the leader of the discipline, it is natural to get a promotion in position and income, but only with a bachelor's degree, even if he is the director of the political and educational office, he will not be the dean of the first-level college and the second-level college that Lin's father has been thinking about.

Although the Academic Affairs Office is the core operating department of the university and may be a very powerful department for students, it can only be regarded as a clear water yamen in the institutions set up by the university, and cannot be compared with the logistics department in charge of logistics and the finance department in charge of finance, and many jobs also need to communicate with the college and the teachers, and the things that can be decided independently are very limited. In the eyes of the school leaders, the work of the Academic Affairs Office is suitable for an old teacher like Father Lin. It is not so much that handing over this position to Father Lin is a reward and promotion, but that it is specially reserved for Father Lin to provide for the elderly.

When Lin's father was young, he also had some ambitions, and when he was about to go on in the vocational college he had just joined, he was "hit by an arrow in the knee" when he wanted to respond to the call to "go to the sea", and he was introduced to Lin's mother. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and sticking to the post has paid off.

Lin's mother has been working in a commercial bank, and has been steadily promoted under the care, serving as the person in charge of fund-raising and credit work, but in recent years, she felt that her salary did not match her ability, so she switched jobs to a foreign bank five years ago to work hard for her career.

The fact that the spouse and children have settled abroad is somewhat abnormal for an official.

Coincidentally, Lin's father's position just doesn't reach the level of a "naked official": earlier this year, Lin's father filled out a family statement at the request, but when he was investigated, it was found that the school office had made a big fuss - Lin's father was not at the level of censorship, there was no chance of corruption, and the college did not have a highly confidential subject - but this completely cut off the possibility of allowing Lin's father to continue to seek promotion.
