40 Migration
It is impossible for a person to live completely freely of his own will.
There is no real meaning for people who can live in the world in isolation from other human activities, and to survive in this human world influenced by others, there will always be some social connections, as is the case with the dialogue that is taking place between Lin Father and Lin Yilong's father and son.
"Let's leave. Seeing such a tragic situation, Father Lin said to Lin Yilong.
Lin Yilong stared at Father Lin, knowing that his father had relented again.
If it was Lin's father's investment, Lin Yilong could only pinch his nose and admit it, but this was not an investment, but a mortgage loan that blocked Lin Yilong's reputation. For this fact, Lin Yilong must seek justice for himself.
Looking at his child's almost hostile and incomprehensible gaze, Father Lin was speechless and turned around in the direction he came.
"If Daddy doesn't want to go by himself, I can also say it on your behalf, if it really doesn't work, I'll say it myself. Lin Yilong had to push Father Lin on this issue, he narrowed his eyes and said behind Father Lin. If you don't be a good creditor now, Father Lin is destined to be even more depressed next.
Hearing Lin Yilong's words, Father Lin stopped, turned his head, and looked at Lin Yilong's eyes that had narrowed.
"Let's not want this statement, okay?" Father Lin said in an almost begging tone.
"You can't do that, one yard to one yard. Lin Yilong said, "Even if you don't want Dad, but the house is in my name after all, have you considered my position on this issue, if I am included in the list of dishonesty, how can I have the face to practice in China in the future?"
Father Lin didn't know that there was such a problem with the guarantee of his agent, if there was really a debt default and he was urged by the court to become a "lai", even if he was not of good character, he would have no future in China.
A choice must be made, Lin Yilong has already opened a position and must solve this problem, and there are only two painful options left in front of Lin's father, either to cut off the relationship between brother and sister, or to sever the father-son relationship with Lin Yilong, and even the husband and wife relationship of Lin's mother, who has always supported her son.
How to choose is really clear.
Father Lin sighed, then mustered up his courage and walked towards the hotel without looking back.
A month flies quickly, and it is slow. The disposal of the Lin family's property has been turned over with a series of unhappiness caused by mortgage debts.
Father Lin, who vented the anger and helplessness in his heart, was in a much better mood, and even went shopping with Lin Yilong happily and bought small electrical appliances such as toilet seats and set-top boxes.
The Lin family has almost zero assets, leaving only a newly purchased narrow house that is only used to retain the hukou, and even if the family comes back, they will not live here.
After Father Lin's retirement procedures are completed, it is time to leave.
The cold snap of the invasion at the end of September has washed away the summer heat, and the weather in Lin Yilong's hometown and Wales is now about the same.
Bidding farewell to his hometown for 60 years from birth to retirement, Father Lin feels that it is naturally not easy. On the way to the airport, Father Lin insisted on taking one last look at the land where he had once spent his youth.
Just as Lin Yilong is nostalgic for New Meldan's apartment, Lin's father has always watched the residential building that carries his 20-year memories disappear on the corner before turning back, and he is full of tears.
"Daddy, we're not going to the execution ground. Lin Yilong comforted, "It's not a life and death, why are you so unhappy." ”
"It's just touching the scene. Father Lin replied, "When you leave the place where you have struggled all your life, you will always be reluctant to give up." ”
"It's nothing. Lin Yilong didn't think so, but considering that it seemed to be the case, didn't he return to Wales because he was nostalgic for the countryside and fields in Wales, he didn't say such a cool thing, but he had to continue, "Is Dad worried about his future life?"
"Yes. Father Lin replied directly, "I go there, and I don't know English, and I have to turn to your wife to buy things on the street, so what's the point of me going there?"
"Let's learn!" Lin Yilong said very simply, "Anyway, it's okay to go there, just sign up for a language class in your spare time."
"Let's see. "Father Lin can speak Russian, but not English, and it is indeed difficult to go directly to the UK to live, so it is no wonder that Father Lin is worried.
Carefully considering the situation of Father Lin, ordinary friends' interactions are no more frequent than those between British, and it is a pity that only the brotherhood between Father Lin and Uncle Lin Yilong, as for the other "frequent contacts", it is just Father Lin's superficial entertainment, and it will not really be "lively" after retirement.
In addition to these two points that can be made up by time, Lin Yilong couldn't think of any reason for his hometown to be nostalgic for Father Lin. On the contrary, it was to go to Wales, and Lin's father's thinking could make a new retirement life plan for the new life here. Although there will be some nervousness caused by uneasiness when you first come into contact, the tension and dissatisfaction can be digested along with frustration and disappointment in the new experiences of daily life, and the adaptation speed is faster.
Strictly speaking, there is no difference between the British and the Far Easterners in retirement, the British live in close proximity to each other, and the social contacts accumulated in the first half do not translate into friendships after retirement. The interaction between the British, on the contrary, will be more indifferent. In order not to be particularly lonely, they always find a way to go to the city center or a popular place to stay for a while to "remember the language". After retirement, even the Englishman who does not smile during his work will become very good at talking, and will always live on the street and chat with people kindly.
This retirement cannot be called completely carefree. At present, retired Britons can receive a public pension of 103 pounds a week and almost the same amount of personal pension, which is not much, even if the retiree has an annual subsidy for gas and electricity contributions, no housing tax, television license, water bills and home insurance discounts, and if both husband and wife are retirees, the public pension can pay off these miscellaneous and food expenses every month.
Private pensions are even more miserable, not to mention that self-employed industrial workers or private workers such as plumbers and carpenters who do not have private pensions do not even have private pensions, and even if they do, they are still divided through trusts in personal pension accounts. Generally, the time limit for receiving the benefits of the statutory corporate or government pension fund is almost 15 years, and some job retirement schemes are life pensions, but this is rare. Considering the average life expectancy of 81 years old and the statutory retirement age of 65 years old in the UK, the extra "year" is really difficult.
