Driving back to Wales with Katie, Lin Yilong, who has consciously solved the external threat, decides to take his parents to the Christmas market.

When a tourist doesn't know much about the customs of the inhabitants of the area, the best place to visit is the Christmas market, where the so-called folk customs and special goods are concentrated.

The Christmas market, which only exists from mid-November to mid-December of the year, is somewhat similar to the Lunar New Year fair, with the content tending to be the same, with most of the things for sale being eaten, drunk and played, as well as some acrobatics and singers. Less common things can often be found in Christmas markets, such as 19th-century city maps of cities in England and Wales and Victorian-era printed posters.

Of course, these things are still quite interesting to Father and Mother Lin, although they think that it is not worth spending money on these things.

Visiting the Christmas market was accompanied by a two-night weekend with breakfast accommodation booked in Bath and Bristol, which Lin Yilong blamed his parents as wasteful.

"Come, Longlong. I want to talk to you. "After dinner in Bath on Saturday, Lin's mother called Lin Yilong's milk name.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yilong knew what his parents wanted to talk to him, during this period of time, he always avoided meeting his parents for some reason, and the number of meetings in "parent-child activities" was lower than the frequency of video chats between the three of them.

Lin Yilong walked into his parents' room, looked at his parents' solemn demeanor, and knew that he couldn't hide today.

"What do you need to talk about?" Lin Yilong asked humbly.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Mu frowned, although the tone was not loud, it could still make Lin Yilong hear the sternness in his mother's words, "I don't remember to educate you like this?"

"What's wrong?" Although Lin Yilong knew what his mother was asking, he could only avoid confrontation with his parents.

"As for your life, although I am your mother[note 1], I have no right to decide what you do. Lin Mu said, "That's your own business, but ...... I always feel that something is wrong. ”

Lin Yilong's eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and he bowed his head and was silent.

"Your mother and I both think that both girls are good, but we are against you staying that way. Father Lin looked at Mother Lin, who had no reason to try to convince her son, and expressed his objections.

"I understand, but please trust my parents and I'll take care of it. Lin Yilong assured the author in a deep tone.

"It's not a question of whether we believe each other or not. Mother Lin suddenly became excited, "In this case, your family life will become a mess." Let me ask you this question: Suppose you and your sister both have children, what do they call the other child, and what do you call your non-biological siblings?"

Lin Yilong was silent.

"Moreover, how can your children describe their family to their friends and classmates? Do you have to get an eldest mother and a second mother out?" Seeing Lin Yilong's indifference, Lin Yi's mother couldn't help but be angry, "How can your life not affect your next generation?

"I'm sure there will be a solution. Lin Yilong said, "For the time being, I feel emotionally that I don't have to give." ”

"So, I want to hear your plan now?" Mother Lin calmed down a little under Father Lin's hint, "It's not specific, but I believe you should have your own rough plan." ”

With such an aggressive posture, Lin Yilong couldn't say anything, he couldn't say that he didn't, although he really didn't think about the future carefully.

Lin Yilong hadn't told his parents about Katie yet-Sister Yeang didn't have time to dodge Father Lin and Mother Lin, let alone talk before them - if Father Lin and Mother Lin knew about Katie's existence again, they would probably have to praise "Rotten wood can't be carved", and then moved back to China overnight, out of sight.

"It's nothing. Lin Yilong tried to calm down his tone, and did not intend to reply to the question raised by Lin's mother head-on, but began to defend himself, "If you don't talk about this, let's talk about China, and single mothers are not ......."

"So I said, I want you to give your children a childhood that grows up with love and supervision. Mother Lin said, "It's not good to have one less father and mother, but my colleague has a few ........"

"Mom, are you worried that I am so likely to abandon my wife and children?" Lin Yilong asked, "Mom doesn't trust me so much, shouldn't I consider this issue from my standpoint? Anyway, I have nothing to lose in this regard." ”

"But my grandchildren have been wronged. Father Lin, who had been sitting next to the coffee machine, interjected, "Don't you have to think about your children?"

"I don't care what you think, you study law, I'll say it another way. Mother Lin cleared her throat and reorganized her language, "How do you expect a person who can't even work hard in 'Zero Village' to care for his parents?

The so-called "village" refers to the distance between relatives and blood relatives, and the calculation method is one-way: for example, the relationship between parents and children is "one village"; brothers and sisters are only connected by parents and become "two villages" of "1+1=2"; in this calculation, there is only one core exception is the "zero village" between husband and wife, which pays attention to the integration of husband and wife. In the vernacular, it means "how can a person who does not even love himself be expected to love others." ”

Lin Yilong has nothing to say, he can't tell his parents the modern facts about the lower moral level caused by social reality like he persuaded the Yeon sisters, and even if he did, he can't excuse himself on the grounds that English law does not have the name of "supporting parents". Whether it is the East or the West, Lin Yilong's current state is always not in line with people's concepts, but there is no other way to explain this problem.

"What's wrong with me, no one can sever the connection between parents and children, can't they give me a little trust for the time being?" Lin Yilong said.

"It's not fair enough to your children!" said Father Lin.

"I don't have the best of both worlds for a while. Lin Yilong told his parents the results of his thinking, "I believe that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, it is better to look forward and take a walk to explore, after the precipitation of time, there will be a good solution." ”

As your parents, we love you. We've warned you of all the dangers that may occur, so you can do it yourself. Mother Lin was furious, and the night conversation was fruitless, and no one could convince anyone.

Early the next morning, Lin Yilong and his parents finished breakfast very solemnly and took the bus back to the forest farm.

Sending his parents home, Lin Yilong and the Yeang sisters were diverted to Cardiff Airport because the Yeons were coming to Wales for Christmas.
