Chapter 139: Homestay
Dublin in winter is still bustling at noon, with tourists from all over the world flocking to various attractions, some of the streets are spacious and bright, some of the alleys are winding and narrow, all kinds of vehicles spanning decades come and go, and two-eight-bar bicycles that are not common in China can often be seen in the streets and alleys. Large or small auditoriums and churches are full of ancient atmosphere, white and brown towering buildings are inlaid with bright glass, the precipitation of the sense of age makes these places that witness history more solemn, there is some stuffiness in the car, open the window, the wind whistling in, can't help but wrap the coat tightly, or close the window stupidly.
Rumor has it that it rarely snows in Dublin, and even the snow season doesn't last long. It's the night of Beijing time, what is Luo Shaoqian doing? Has Tu Tu's task for today been completed? Is Zhang Xiuran not sad? Is the stubborn old man Luo still in good health? How good it is for everyone to come to Dublin to play once, it is this season, cold but warm sun, it happens to be the snow season, at the entrance of the cathedral, invite this overwhelming snow-white witness, I will bring you a red scarf, bring a ring, and promise your warmth at this time, whether it is body or mind, I have contracted.
Rachel's voice seemed to drift away, and I was already immersed in another world.
"What do you want?" said Doctor Fan on the side, arching my arm, and his tone was light, matching Dublin's temper.
"Huh?" I quickly came back to my senses before Rachel's excited voice entered my ears again, and everyone else in the car was looking around curiously, as if looking at a kaleidoscope, "It's nothing, and suddenly my mind wanders." I smiled at him to admit that I was imagining my own wedding.
"I'm going to send everyone to their respective host families right away. "Doctor Fan reminded me.
Oh, the tour is over, but there is no rush to visit Dublin in the afternoon, after all, there are still more than 700 days to spend with the country and the city.
After Rachel's explanation, everyone immediately responded with warm applause, which made Rachel very happy, perhaps getting a great encouragement from it, and the next work will be more active. In fact, it is the habit of Chinese to applaud, some are out of recognition and emotion of the content, some are politely pandering at the end, I don't know Rachel's all-English commentary along the way, a car of people, people who understand can have geometry.
Head Chu pinched a ball of A4 paper and sent a stack of it to everyone from front to back, and when he got it, he found that it was the homestay arrangement form, as well as the name, address and contact person of the unit where they exchanged and studied, and the contact information of the head of the group, Rachel and the embassy was also marked in detail at the bottom. I, Dr. Fan and Sister Ming were placed in a family headed by "Jinlan Su", I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the name, this must be an oriental name! If it is not Chinese, it should also be a country with a profound influence on the Chinese language such as South Korea and Singapore, if this is really the case, then there are many similarities in terms of living habits, religious beliefs, humanities and history, and many of the problems I was worried about before have disappeared.
I just wanted to ask Dr. Fan if he knew more, but Sister Ming complained first, "This looks like a family full of oriental characteristics, either a European marries our Nagada girl, or our Nagada girl marries a European man, and I still think I can live in a young and handsome little brother's house......"
The discussion in the carriage was already loud, and Sister Ming's unseemly words were drowned out in the voices. Thankfully, fortunately...... If these middle-aged people heard this, wouldn't they be laughing at her for being a girl who was not ashamed again.
"Could this be a Chinese family" Listening to Sister Ming's words, I became more curious.
"Probably. Doctor Fan said.
"Can I apply for a different host family? Sister Ming was still thinking about the tall and handsome man, and she couldn't let go of it for a long time.
"How nice and convenient the Chinese are. I comforted her, but I was actually happy and happy, "Besides, wouldn't it be nice to live with us and take care of each other?"
"It's boring after all, it's not fun...... Sister Ming pouted and stood up from her seat, her eyes staring straight at Head Chu, her mouth ready to move.
"Don't think about it. Doctor Fan looked up at her, "There are about 20 people in total, and the host family is also screened and finalized in advance, looking at the geographical location on the paper, the middle school you are going to is very close to our municipal hospital, and it is far away from other people's host families, you can only live with us, we don't agree to change, are you sure you want to go to head Chu to grind your mouth?" ”
Sister Ming listened to Dr. Fan's words, and the stubbornness and entanglement on her face were contradictory, and she was a child's temper. "Yes, yes, yes, you see that everyone is arranged, let's not make any more trouble, we will be fine, in case she has a mixed-race boy, it will be more handsome. Sister Ming stood there pouting with a look of regret, and I tugged at her sleeve and motioned for her to sit down.
"It's definitely a Chinese, and there's definitely no mixed-race handsome guy. Doctor Fan immediately made up for it after Sister Ming sat down.
"Ahh I can't help laughing, especially Doctor Fan, it seems that he has been a little sullen since the airport, he is not very willing to talk to him throughout the whole process, and his face is expressionless as if he has something on his mind, but now he is amused by Sister Ming, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, tired, right? Or do I think too much......
Anyway, it has been nearly 30 hours since we boarded the plane, and we have finally slowly come to our senses and gradually accepted, relaxed and learned to enjoy the present. Sister Ming gave up struggling, thinking that there must always be handsome guys in the school, and then took out her mobile phone and began to check the relevant information of that middle school.
I also hurriedly sent the progress here to Luo Shaoqian and his family, the same report had to be sent several times, I simply pulled a group - Wentong life report group, Teacher Ouyang, Luo Shaoqian, including my parents, grandmother and grandfather, I don't have Luo Shaoqian's parents' WeChat, just wanted Luo Shaoqian to convey my recent situation, Luo Shaoqian pulled Director Zhou and Dean Lao Luo into the group, and a person called "Sea and Sky" was kicked out by his grandfather as soon as he entered the group, and was invited by Dean Luo after a while.
Don't think about it, it must be the old man of the Luo family who is not right with my grandfather, I wanted to send a "cover my mouth and smile" expression, politeness and cultivation require that I can't do that in a public place like a WeChat group, so I sent it to Luo Shaoqian privately, and he immediately replied to me with an embarrassing smile.
Today's fun is really a lot, I stretched, looking out the window at the scenery, well, the scenery is a lot brighter!
