The dining room of the forest farm house has not been used except for the welcome dinner that Lin Yilong and Sister Yeang used once when they first moved in, welcoming Lin's father and Lin mother to the UK, and the dining room is even less used than the living room. This is because the open kitchen also has small tables where meals are usually eaten.

Lin Yilong didn't understand the original intention of designing this restaurant at the beginning, and when considering the plan, all the British house layouts with more than four bedrooms he referred to had such a place. This setting of the dining room is different from his original intention of dividing the activity room, living room, and living room with privacy, and it is the only room that is set up "with the crowd".

The restaurant finally began to show some usefulness, but it tricked Lin Yilong.

In the past, when Lin Yilong went to the banquet, the general setting was to eat around the round table with the name written, and all the seats were completed by the organizer of the banquet or the hotel master of ceremonies, in the Bracken Forest Farm, the table can accommodate 14 people rectangular, which involves a very immoral table seating problem, the participants are close relatives, and only he, the owner of the Bracken Forest Farm, can decide the seats.

His seat should have been fixed at the top of the table as the host according to normal Western customs, but then it was difficult to arrange.

If this custom is to be continued, the seats are strictly divided according to the family, and the sisters will sit in the top corner of the table on the other side of the table, which is not conducive to communication, and if the usual distinction between men and women is followed, Mr. Yeon and Father Lin will not communicate well, and the "regional tension" on their side will be exacerbated. Even if he didn't follow the ranking habits, it would be impossible for Lin Yilong to sit on one side with Lin's father and Lin's mother and let the sisters sit on the other side with their own parents - otherwise it would seem that the two families were very opposed.

"So......." Lin Yilong said, "when you have dinner later, you can avoid it for a while." ”

"We can eat Korean barbecue today. Nadia suggested, "There can be a private room there, and my parents are also interested in barbecue." ”

"Isn't that going to be a problem? Lin Yilong raised his question, "My parents just came to you, and it's not good to go back to Cardiff for dinner." ”

"Don't you know that Swansea also has a kebab shop?" Nadia said, "and it's only a 25-kilometre drive, which is half an hour's drive." ”

"Really, how could I not know?" it didn't make sense, as Nadia and Vera both went to Cardiff and rarely went to Swansea.

"A few days after you went to London, Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin were going home, and there was something wrong with the commuter bus that day. "He called us, and when Vera and I got there, my uncle and aunt invited Vera and me to the barbecue restaurant for dinner." ”

"In that case, let's go for a barbecue. Lin Yilong did not continue to ask the Yeang sisters and his parents if they didn't take him to celebrate, "Fortunately, the return time of our car is tomorrow, and we can continue to use it." ”

Mother Lin is worthy of being a veteran who has been immersed in the credit business for decades, and took Father Lin and Mr. and Mrs. Yeang to ask for warmth in the car, without revealing her thoughts at all. But because of this, Lin Yilong's heart is getting higher and higher, when Lin's mother discusses her position with you, the more enthusiastic she is about the target object, if she doesn't go according to the script she envisioned, the more powerful her countermeasures will be - Lin Yilong was suppressed by such a mother in family life for more than 20 years before choosing to go abroad.

At the dinner table, Lin's father and Lin's mother and Yeang and his wife met each other again.

The relationship between Lin Yilong and the Yeang sisters was not mentioned by anyone, and as a result, the atmosphere at the table was "frozen".

The cold atmosphere was solved by two men who were a little bookish, as if to prove that they were the highest drinkers, and the British beer was not low, but it tasted bad, and asked the store for rice wine and whiskey, and finally, the two men who drank rum and gin began to reminisce about the interesting past when they interned in Tula.

"I know you looked down on us back then. Father Lin drank a little too much, and told all kinds of past more than thirty years ago, "Did you give us a mission to spy on us?"

"How come, I'm not giving К...... ГБ worked, and no one wanted to believe it. Mr. Yeon also drank a great deal of wine, and said with the strength of the wine, "....... in the Far East Including those in the Amur Region and Primorsky Krai...... We don't like it in the first place, but that's it..... It's better than you over there, so how can we look down on you?"

"You don't look down on us, we're even-footed now. Father Lin spoke incoherently, "It's all bad fate, bad fate"

Mr. Yeon filled his cup and Father Lin's cup again.

"It's a bad fate. Mr. Yeon was also a little unsupportive, "If it weren't for me, your family wouldn't have been able to get such a good daughter-in-law." ”

At the end, Mr. Yeon began to cry.

"What are you crying about?" Father Lin drank the whiskey in front of him, "should be happy, should be happy." Why don't you say that you have such a good son-in-law?"

"Son-in-law who can't even talk about marriage?" said Mr. Yeon, choking himself up.

"It's even better...... Do you have faith?" asked Father Lin.

"Nope. Mr. Yeon said.

"What's so hard to see about this, what kind of marriage is marriage? It's just a delicately decorated shell...... "Father Lin drunkenly explained the confusion of his "old friend", "Modern people are so free...... You can get a divorce at any time. ”

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I don't want my daughters to be harmed. Monsieur Yeon, though his face was still red, said what he thought.

"I'll watch him. Father Lin squinted at Lin Yilong, who was hanging high on the side, "You can make a statement." ”

"At this point, I'll take a stand. Lin Yilong said, "I can't leave either Nadia and Vera behind, no matter what, no matter what happens. ”

The bargaining advantage of Lin Yilong's family in this matter is too obvious, whether to say it or not is just a matter of attitude, and it does not involve substantive things. In addition to the reluctance of the contemporary middle class to marry due to various pressures, there is another reason that deserves great attention is the meaning and value of marriage - because of the guidance of certain judicial practices, marriage has become more and more like a legal shackle rather than the glue of the relationship between husband and wife, coupled with the prevalence of individual egoism, a certificate of marriage has become meaningless. When the sanctity and blessing of marriage is stripped away, the meaningless essence is already clear, especially in this era of freedom and equality. And it is very likely that Lin Yilong's promise will even be higher than the role of the marriage certificate.

"Then Mary and I can only bless them. Mr. Yeon's "old tears" are rampant.
