"Mom, Dad, I'm so glad to see you!"

Outside New York's JFK Airport, Amelia Roy happily hugged her parents.

Amelia Roy hadn't seen her parents for more than a year, and she was especially happy to see her this time.

"Mom and Dad, let's go home!"

The three said hello, and Amelia Roy drove her parents back to her rental house.

"Mom, why do you think you're going to travel to New York?"

In the car, Amelia Roy asked happily while driving.

"Your dad and I are half a year away from retirement, and we are ready to retire and realize our dreams when we were younger. ”

Amelia Roy's mother, Hurley Roy, had a smile on her face.

"Oh! what dreams?"

Amelia Roy's paparazzi staff habits are here again.

"When we were younger, we fantasized about having our own house by the sea, the kind where we could open the door and see the sea. There should be a lot of flowers in front of the door, a floor-to-ceiling window in the living room on the second floor, where you can feel the sun and see the sea, and a small boat, where you can go out to sea and blow the sea breeze in your spare time, and your father can also fish. ”

Amelia Roy looked in the rearview mirror and saw her mother talk about this, her face beaming with happiness.

"However, the housing prices at the seaside with a good view are too high, and your father and I don't want to be old and in debt, and we heard that the Staten District is cheap and safe, so we came to have a look. ”

"Housing prices in Staten are really cheap, but you need a household registration to buy a house here. In order to get a Staunton domicile, you need to have a job in Stendon and have worked for one year. Amelia Roy felt a little sorry for her parents. "I don't think the Staunton system is friendly to seniors at all. ”

"It's normal, if the government doesn't control it that way, the price of property in Staten will be speculated higher than in Manhattan by the speculators, and the people who really need it can't afford to buy a house.

And Staunton is a newly developed city, and if a city is full of retired people, then it will still develop like this? For the city to develop, it needs a young labor force, not a retired person. Amelia Roy's father, Howard Roy, picked up.

"But then you won't be able to make your dreams come true!" said Amelia Roy.

"Don't worry about us. Hurley Roy smiled mysteriously. "Your father and I decided to retire and start a school in Staten District. ”

"What, run a school!"

Amelia Roy almost missed the steering wheel.

"There are 100,000 immigrants from Mexico from the Staten D.C., most of whom have no education or low education, and can only work in low-paying jobs, and many of them want to change their fortunes, but they don't have the money, the time, and the schools to help them.

Your father and I have nothing to do after retirement, instead of counting the days every day and waiting for the end of life, it is better to do something meaningful, on weekdays your father and I teach some of the best of the world, but we find that ordinary people need knowledge more, and your father and I can only teach, and nothing else. ”

Hurley Roy and his wife, both professors at the University of Washington, one in business and the other in mechanics, are about to retire in half a year.

"But it takes a lot of money to run a school, where do you get the money?" asked Amelia Roy, whose parents were both college professors and had a modest income, just over $5,000 a month, which was definitely not enough to run a school.

"Don't worry, the Borderless Foundation was very interested when they heard of our idea, and if we do decide to set up a school in Staten D.C., they will provide the school and all the hardware to implement it. Hurley Roy said.

"What about the personnel? It's not enough to have only two teachers in a school, and you and Dad won't be able to keep you busy. Amelia Roy said. Her main concern was that her parents were too tired.

"Personnel don't have to worry, my father and I have found some retired old friends, and more than 20 people have expressed their willingness to participate, and your father and I have come to New York this time to inspect and see what the environment is like in Staunton, and whether it is suitable to settle down and run a school here. ”

"Oh, that's great, Mom, what you're doing is so meaningful, and I'm proud to be your daughter. Amelia Roy was relieved to hear her mother's words, and at the same time she was very happy that her parents could have a second life in their careers.

People who are accustomed to work will be very unaccustomed to suddenly retiring without an aftermath, and will think that they are worthless, and not everyone likes to plant flowers, play chess, and fish every day after retirement, at least Amelia Roy's parents are not such people.

"You are also our pride. Hurley Roy laughed.

"Yes, proud, I run to shoot celebrity gossip every day, today this cheats, tomorrow that domestic violence. "Howard Roy has a lot of opinions about Amelia Roy's work.

"Dad, can we not go through the old calendar? I changed jobs, I am now working in the "SAP Times", some time ago I participated in the "SAP Times" recruitment and was admitted. Amelia Roy had a smug look on her face.

"Really, it's amazing!" Hurley Roy looked at Amelia Roy in surprise. "So you're a civil servant after all!"

Hurley Roy actually didn't like her daughter's previous job very much, and she was like a paparazzi every day to report other people's gossip.

"Not yet, there is a one-year internship period, but after the internship period, it is level 10 GS. Amelia Roy replied happily.

"It's great, you know, some people have worked all their lives to get this level, my daughter works hard, strives to get into level 11, praises to the leadership, so that your father and I don't have to worry about you anymore. ”

Hurley Roy refers to Howard Roy by "some."

The University of Washington is a public university, so the teachers are all civil servants, Howard Roy has worked all his life, and he is only a 10-level GS, and when he retires, he gave an 11-level GS to comfort, which is a reward for dedicating his life to education.

In fact, this is normal, Howard Roy does not belong to the management, so when he is promoted to level 10 GS, he has always stood still, just like it is extremely difficult for ordinary soldiers in the army to be promoted to second lieutenant, and he will be a chief sergeant major after the sky.

However, although Howard Roy has not been promoted, his salary has increased every three years, and he has worked for more than 30 years, and he can get full salary when he retires.

"Oh! I finally don't think I've paid my hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition in vain. Howard Roy was a little surprised that his daughter actually went to the "SAP Times", and as soon as she turned positive, she was a level 10 GS, which was considered to be a national meal, but she didn't show it on her face, and the majesty of Yan's father still had to be maintained.
