Because of the relationship between Polly Seli and Suyan So-yeon, in order to keep fit, they sometimes join Amy's "family class" and practice with the Ren sisters. Because they have been arranged for similar training since childhood, although they are not up to the height of the Ren sisters for the time being, they are much better than other colleagues in the Suyan Xiuyan Dance Troupe, and sometimes they will play different roles and cooperate with their sisters.

However, because Su-yeon often uses the ballet school's practice room, and because other choreographers are familiar with Amy, they will also come to observe Amy's choreography ideas, and when they see Polly and Sally's rehearsals, this conversation takes place.

"Who is rehearsing with your daughter?" asked the choreographer one day in March.

"It's a good friend of my daughter. Amy replied, "Their mom knows me very well, let me help guide her." ”

"That is, there is no permanent belonging to the dance company yet?"

"No, even this is purely for fun. ”

"Then Amy, can you help us find out and ask them if they would like to come here and start their stage careers?" asked the choreographer very seriously, "Don't worry, it's not trying to snatch students from you, I just think it would be a loss if they were so talented that they could receive stage training." ”

Amy held a small dinner that night and talked about the supervisors' wishes in front of the Whitehouse sisters' parents.

"So, can we go to college and work part-time like so-yeon and so-yeon?" Polly asked.

"Correctly, if you accept it, you can't be a part-time job. Lin Yilong tried to make Polly and Cellly figure out the situation, "You are full-time dancers and full-time students, and the pace of life will be more intense." ”

"And what's Mom's opinion?"

"You'll be adults in a year and a half, and this is a matter of your future career plan, and we won't have any objection to how you choose. ”

"Is there a salary?"

"It's about £20,000 a year for an entry salary, and some other perks. Amy explained, "There are also holidays that are very similar to student holidays. ”

"So-yeon and so-yeon are a year younger than us, and they can balance their careers and studies well, so as sisters, we can't do it. After becoming the sister of so-yeon and so-yeon a year ago, Seli has become very responsible, "I want to try it too." ”

"Then you go and talk to the choreographer. Amy emailed the Whitehouse sisters to the choreographer and booked their audition for a month later.

Amy, as the selected instructor, accompanied Katie's daughters into the dance studio, and in addition to the two of them, there were also the graduating students of the affiliated dance school.

The exam consists of four different excerpts from the repertoire, which contains almost classical ballet movements, and the examiners score candidates based on musicality, fluidity of movement, and standard level of movement.

Theoretically, you can graduate with a score of 50 or more, but those who can join the dance troupe are 6 people every year, and the admission score is generally around 65 points. In other words, if you don't reach 65 points, you are in danger of being eliminated.

Amy's score on the entrance test was a very high 79, and her daughters were even more exaggerated when they joined the group last year, with the sisters scoring 81 and 83 respectively.

Polly and Celle were placed in different testing groups, and although they were not in the middle, they were very eye-catching overall.

Two days later, they received an apprenticeship contract from the company, and as a celebration, they came to accompany Lin Yilong to "return to China" for spring break.

The preparation was limited to a slight jet lag.

Unless it is very suitable for the appearance of polar day and polar night, for the vast majority of people, the shortened distance is very inconvenient for regular work and rest.

Lin Yilong's approach is that he strictly abides by the schedule of the area where the RV is located, and if he eats with Katie and the others, he will only eat breakfast together which is equivalent to the residents of the zero time zone, and if Katie and the others want to visit with Lin Yilong, they must be prepared to get up early the next day. Since Katie and Nadia are free to travel between South Wales and London, they are more dependent on Greenwich's standards, unless Lin Yilong takes the initiative to invite or "arrange shifts", they rarely come to disturb Lin Yilong.

"Is this Dad's homeland?" asked Polly as he drove along the country road, seeing the slightly bleak woods.

"Isn't it good?" Lin Yilong asked rhetorically, "I've always thought it was pretty good." ”

"I don't mean that. Polly argued, "It feels like Eastern Europe." ”

"This is black brown soil and black loam soil, which is an important agricultural production area, and here in the foothills of Changbai Mountain is an important forestry resource belt. Because of the severe cold in Siberia, it can only be regarded as early spring, which is different from South Wales and Surrey, which have an early spring. ”

After explaining, Polly and Sally finally understood some of the reasons for the desolation of vegetation.

"Even though the scenery is nice and the weather is good for cycling, as your father, I still don't want you to ride your bike through this 331 National Highway like this. Lin Yilong said, "Because although the vegetation in this season is not very developed, it is still very obstructive, if you are in the river embankment or river embankment, there is no such concern at all." ”

"That's good, too. Selly replied quickly.

Lin Yilong deliberately attached a seat in the front row to facilitate the communication between father and daughter.

Although the sisters are of mixed race, they are still European-looking, and inevitably influenced by the mass media, and are full of wary strangeness and unknown about the land of the East - just like Queen Victoria's criticism of Edward, Prince of Wales, for her heir's hostility to Germany: "My father is German, and your father is German, and you are hostile to this country." ”

There is a reason for this, because with the virtualization of social networks, even young people are no longer in social networks, especially students in top private schools, who will only guard their studies and interests, and their only channel is mass media.

In the mass media, even the "slightly neutral" White-City Broadcasting Company [note: the production center of a certain TV station was previously located in White-City, London], a fixed 35-minute news program every night, about 20 minutes of news from China, about 10 minutes of news from the European Union and other Commonwealth, and only five minutes from other hot spots, and the content of the report is mainly from the former colonies on the other side of the pond, and the "home country" of the Whitehouse sisters The news is about two days and one minute, and it is mainly negative. And Lin Yilong didn't pay special attention to this issue because he had to estimate a lot of people at the same time.

"People here aren't as bad as the news says they are?" Polly said.

"This country has a total of 9.6 million square kilometers, and there are great differences between regions from south to north and east to west.
