Fanwai 14 - A family's winter vacation (5)

After cleaning up the kitchen with Vera, Lin Yilong didn't enjoy the charm of driving - the local time was 4 hours different from GMT, and it was a high-latitude area, the days were short and the nights were long, and it was already dark, which was not suitable for continuing the trip.

So, he spent all the afternoon with Tanya and Natasha.

It's not that he favors one over the other and neglects the other daughters, but that the little sister Yeon was busy with other affairs when she was celebrating her 18th birthday, and she didn't show up at the girls' coming-of-age ceremony, so she set aside an afternoon alone and left them at their disposal.

Most of the British or Russian coming-of-age ceremonies are usually held in secondary schools, and the little sisters did not have the opportunity to go to the party with the other young people, but on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, they went to two embassies and the town hall, swore allegiance in the presence of protocol officials from three different countries, and had a poor dinner.

"The coming-of-age ceremony is an official thing, and our family doesn't really care. On the bus to Cardiff, Lin Yilong gave a very pale explanation for not attending his daughters' coming-of-age ceremony, "Because no matter what, you are all father's children." So, you don't have to worry about it. But I have to remind you both that from the day you come of age, the £1,200 you have saved every year from the age of three will be at your disposal. ”

"In other words, we are still Dad's 'daughters who can't be locked up'?"

"Make no mistake. Lin Yilong shook his head, "I'm just saying that at the family level, I don't have any greater expectations for you, don't have pressure in this regard." ”

"Because we're girls, or because we don't have Daddy's last name?" Tanya asked with some resentment.

"Neither! I won't say that! Don't think about it!" Lin Yilong hurriedly denied Sanlian, "For me, no matter what happens to my daughter, as long as she keeps 'existing', it will make me feel at ease as a father." That's the highest I want from my daughters. ”

The little Ieon sisters reverted to smiling again.

"Daddy really thinks so?"

"Of course!" replied Lin Yilong.

"And what was the assessment that our mother told us before?" asked Natasha.

"In terms of ability, it can be regarded as a test of your father's ability to stand on your own, but in the past six months, whether it is from your work or life, I feel that it is reasonable. Even if we are gone, you can live independently of anyone. Lin Yilong replied.

Tanya and Natasha were set up by Lin Yilong in the past six months, one was the short selling caused by the sudden failure of Tanya's trading machine, and the other was a medical accident caused by system failure - the daughters performed perfectly in the handling of these two crises.

"Then can I not inherit my mother's job? Tanya asked apprehensively.

"No!" Lin Yilong replied, "Although Dad's assessment here has been completed, it is your assessment task as a mother and daughter, and the work itself is just a 9-to-5 job." ”

"Sister, you can admit it. Natasha added fuel to the side, "You see, I don't have to intern here in the hospital every day, intern there, and I haven't even seen my parents for more than half a year." ”

"But you don't have to worry so much, you can use 'special means' to get back and forth between here and London apartments. "After all, London is much bigger than Wales, and my daughters may have met the love of their lives in the metropolis." ”

"No, young men these days are either very shallow or very forbearing. Tanya commented, "According to my mother's standards, I have to contact for a long time to find the shining point, and I don't even have time to disgust, let alone take the initiative to approach." ”

Tanya and Natasha, like their parents, are very reserved — or, rather, because they were exposed to difficult and profound fields in the beginning — or rather, they have the arrogance of self-admiring Lin Yilong.

This is not necessarily a good thing.

"Your mom got along for a long time before she found the sparkle in your dad. Lin Yilong said with a smile.

"Isn't the shining point of Dad's initial 'money ability'?" Unlike Katie, Nadia and Vera explained the whole process of their relationship with Lin Yilong to their daughter very clearly, "It's just that later, both Mom and Aunt Vera found out more reasons for Dad to live together." However, because Dad is behind us, the 'money ability' can't be used as a shining point to attract our attention, and we don't have the patience to know if it is a hidden shining point in the back. ”

"I have to admit that you're right. Lin Yilong replied, "This is the choice that parents can give you – a kind of freedom that your parents have always wanted, and whether you want to use it or not is entirely up to you." ”

The conversation lasted more than half an hour, and they arrived in the centre of Cardiff.

After parking the car, Tanya took Natasha's hand and went to the store, and Lin Yilong followed by her.

"To be honest, Vuitton is good everywhere, but the trademark is too conspicuous, like the local tyrant, poor and conspicuous; although the style of 'Gucci' is low-key, the style and pattern are like those of your grandparents, rustic; the Parisian house is too bright, with .......bells and whistles," Lin Yilong complained from store to store, "For women, although I am not an expert, I like 'Shanel' or' Hermes' style, if the ready-to-wear style is really not what you like, we can also go and get some custom-made models. ”

"Dad's point of view is really straightforward. Natasha complained, "No wonder Mom never wanted Dad to go shopping with them." ”

"I don't want to deceive my lover about his own perception. Lin Yilong replied, "Opinions are always straightforward. ”

"I finally understood why my dad didn't have a girlfriend when he was 30. Natasha replied, "If I had been my father's girlfriend at that time, I wouldn't have been able to stand my father's strategy of telling me the truth directly." Even if it's to please your lover, you can cheat on them. ”

"I started with my daughter today. Lin Yilong smiled, "Buy whatever you want, I'll compliment you with witticisms." ”

However, the sisters didn't give Lin Yilong the opportunity to practice with "rhetoric" tricking them, entered the video store, bought a few vinyl records, and walked around the shopping mall, trying this and that, but bought nothing.

"What the hell are we doing in the mall?" Lin Yilong asked, "Why didn't we buy anything?" ”

"Dad is really stupid. Tanya said, "I guess only mom and we, as daughters, can stand dad." ”
