Fanwai 16 - Winter vacation for a family (7)

After a short five-hour sleep, Lin Yilong got up at 3 a.m. GMT and got into the cab after a brief wash, heading for St. Petersburg.

However, it was impossible for the other residents of the forest farm to get up so early, so Lin Yilong left the route choice to Lin Yilong himself.

After a four-hour drive through the snowstorm-covered ice fields, Nadia and Vera accompanied Lin with the cheese and ham sandwich breakfast he wanted.

"By the way, how is your aunt?" Lin Yilong casually found a topic and asked.

The reason why the Eyon sisters came to the UK was that their aunt married an Englishman who specialized in vetting the qualifications of scholarship recipients, and the sisters hitchhiked to the UK. Later, the form changed, and Nadia met Lin Yilong at the masquerade. But even though the sisters have been in England for more than 20 years, whether it is a family gathering or small talk about the Yeang family, these people of the Yeang family never talk about their relatives and friends.

"Auntie...... Later, he married Hanyang. Vera said.

"In the past twenty years, you haven't contacted her?" Lin Yilong asked.

"Not really. I still remember the year after we moved to the Riverside Street apartment, because my father came to London to do heavy proton therapy, and I didn't know much about it, and I asked my aunt to come to London twice for directions. Later, she met her current husband in North London, and the two moved to live in Hanyang. Since then, contact has been severed. “

"Why?" asked Lin Yilong.

"The answer is Ming Ming, Yilong, you know it very well. It's the same as why we stayed in London even if we had to give everything. Nadia said.

"Okay. Lin Yilong no longer continued to dwell on this issue, "By the way, my father-in-law, why don't you contact other relatives." ”

"At that time, because we had no money, my parents almost exhausted all their relatives for the cost of treatment, but the money raised was still a drop in the bucket. Vera replied, "Yilong, as a relative, you have actually experienced this feeling. Now that the love is exhausted, why contact. ”

"I understand. ”

Dad was also free, and on his days off, he missed his daughters and granddaughters. When you have free time, you go to your father and Uncle Lin to go fishing. ”

"Why don't you visit your father-in-law? Lin Yilong asked puzzled.

"The main reason is that Mom and Dad's house is Mom and Dad's home, not our home. "Also, every Sunday we worship together, sing hymns, and have dinner together at Mom and Dad's at noon, no problem." ”

"That's just as well. ”

As the distance from St. Petersburg became shorter, the number of cars came and went suddenly.

"Now, just by crossing Lake Ladoga, we can get to St. Petersburg. Lin Yilong exclaimed excitedly, "There are less than 200 kilometers left!"

"So our plan was completed ahead of schedule today?" Nadia asked.

"That's right. "Found a vacant lot, pulled over and enjoyed his breakfast which had become cold.

"At least the coffee was hot. Lin Yilong took a sip of the drink that Vera put in his cup tray, and his face turned from red to white, from white to green, "What is this?"

"There are three kinds of hodgepodge of love tea for the daughters. ”

Lin Yilong is almost the only person in the family who has to drink coffee every day: Katie drinks black tea with her daughters; Amy and her daughters drink fruit tea, and Nadia and Vera are somewhere in between, drinking fruity black tea. As for the taste he drinks now, it is a clear liquid with a variety of flavors, including black tea, barley tea that he sometimes drinks before meals, and honey yuzu tea.

"Really..... Delicious. Lin Yilong drank the unknown substance in the cup.

"The children must be very happy to see that their father cherishes the fruits of their labor so much. Vera looked at Lin Yilong's face and tried to hold back her laughter, but in the end she laughed.

"Please tell the pranksters. Lin Yilong tried to regain his composure, "I will definitely pay them the consideration that matches it...... Until then, it seems that Nadezhka and Virusha were also involved. ”

"No, we just know, but we don't have a staff officer or helper, and we just pretend to serve it to you as if nothing happened. Vera laughed.

"Well, fairness, if you can do me the same favor when I pay the consideration to the children, it will be written off. Lin Yilong stretched out his hand to Wei, "How is it?"

"Yes, but we don't know anything. Nadia added, "Even if it's like a broken cup or a plate, it doesn't matter to us." ”

"Deal!" Lin Yilong smiled and shook Nadia's hand.

"Can I know what you're going to do?" asked Vera, knocking on the side.

"No, it's a grudge between dad and daughters. Lin Yilong replied in a very gloomy tone, "As a porter who helps, I still don't know how to do it." ”

Nadia and Vera could only pray that Lin Yilong wouldn't get them into the matter too deeply.

Throughout the morning (and at the same time in the afternoon of the East Fourth District), Lin Yilong didn't have any special reaction, just parked the car near the shopping center in the coastal area, and then saw Vera on the co-pilot with some pleading eyes.

Moms don't go out for one reason, and it's not necessary – in an age where online delivery and online office are so reliable, they don't need to go to those stores in person.

Although this saves trouble, it also weakens their sociality, and no matter how good the facilities and natural environment of the Bracken Forest Farm are, they also need to embrace human society.

Their leisure spots are not in the pubs and shops of the Mastach or other South Wales Valley villages, but in the clubs and shopping centres of Cardiff, Bristol or London or other cities – and the time it takes to get from Brecken Tree to central London is even less than to Cardiff, regardless of transport.

(Author: Actually, no, the flight time of a helicopter is about 49 minutes, and the travel time of a car is about 44 minutes)

So, for the residents of Brecken Tree Farm, the Tree Farm is not so much a remote, isolated forest farm as a "small" suburban garden in a huge city surrounded by the entire British Isles.

"Let's change our clothes and go. Lin Yilong looked around, Nadia and Vera were wearing thin clothes and skirts worn at home, and the difference from the locals was too obvious.

He himself wears a sweater and warm pants, and it is not particularly strange for a man to dress no matter how he dresses.

"Good!"
