Volume 1 Chapter 5 A Foreign Country

The roaring plane finally took the two young hearts away from the land where they were born and raised, perhaps because they did not want to face this helpless fate again, or maybe this time they really had no worries, Chen Zixuan completed the transfer and immigration procedures, and set off with the two children without staying for a moment.

The old house has not moved, and the neighbors have often taken care of it, and the homeland is difficult to leave, although the people are gone, but the old man's last wish said that he was not willing to go away, and their ashes were still placed in the quiet courtyard.

Ai Ming is neither too close nor distant to this strange aunt, in her heart, although her aunt is related by blood, but it is not as close as Xiao Qin's brother, after all, Ai Ming didn't remember before Chen Zixuan left, Chen Zixuan loved this little niece very much, and pinned her guilt and thoughts for her father and eldest brother on her niece, shushing and asking for warmth every day, and caring for her.

After all, it is a child, after a period of getting along, accompanied by two people who care about him, Ai Ming has gradually come out of his sadness and slowly recovered his hearty and straightforward temperament.

As always, Ma Qin sat next to Ai Ming, pointing out the white clouds of various shapes outside the window to introduce the scenery in the sky.

"Brother, look at it, that cloud looks like a dog~, it's so fun, giggles"

"Look over there, look over there, wow, that mountain is so long"

"That's the Yanshan Mountain Range, don't you remember the Wuling Mountain that took you to in the summer, it's inside?"

"Huh? It was so tired when I climbed, and now it looks so small."

"There is also the Great Wall, which is also on Yan Mountain."

"I've been to the Great Wall, and my grandfather took me there when I was a child", thinking of his grandfather, Ai Ming was obviously a little depressed.

"If you wear the photos of your grandfather and mom and dad, then they will be with you forever," Mark Qin touched Ai Ming's head and said gently.

"Well, I've been wearing it, and I won't take it off when I take a bath," Ai Ming said with his hands on his chest.

Chen Zixuan listened to the lively conversation of the two children behind her, and was a little relieved, the reason why she also brought Ma Qin over was that this was the old man's last wish;

The second is to the UK, Ai Ming is still young, he will always be uncomfortable, language, habits, friends around him, he and his husband are very busy at work, this time I see that Xiaoqin takes good care of Ai Ming, not like a child at all, with him Ai Ming will not be too lonely;

The third is curiosity, for a child, she has never seen such a story-telling look, this kind of look on a child, always gives people a very strange feeling.

In addition to her eyes, what made Chen Zixuan even more incomprehensible was that Ma Qin didn't go to school, she knew her father too well, she was born in the education system, and she valued teaching and educating people more than anything else, since she adopted him, she would definitely be responsible for his education, and Ma Qin was able to convince his father that she couldn't believe it, which she hadn't done at the beginning.

Ai Ming is easier to arrange, there is a community school in the community where they live, just started to adapt to a period of time, he is tutoring and counseling, according to Ai Ming's cheerful personality should be able to adapt quickly, the headache is this kid, he doesn't go to school and doesn't want to go to school, he can't let him go out to do odd jobs like last year, Chen Zixuan inquired about their experience in the past two years, and both likes and appreciates this child, this is a child who has the courage to take responsibility!

No, you can't let him go on like this, no matter how smart he is and doesn't study, he won't have anything to do in the future, Chen Zixuan's motherhood began to flood.

At this time, Mackin didn't know that the first thing he faced after setting foot on British soil for the first time in his two lives was how to skip school!

~~~~~

Liverpool is a city that Mackin is extremely familiar with, although he has never been to it once, but this is the city where his home team was located in his previous life, as a loyal "KOP", he is not familiar with this name.

After the transfer from Rome, Mackin knew that their destination was actually Liverpool, and Mackin was in an inexplicable excitement along the way, and in his previous life he had been planning to go to Liverpool in person to "make a pilgrimage" to Anfield to watch the game, but he had not made the trip because he was too busy with work, but he didn't expect it to be close now.

It's not the Royal Liverpool Tower, it's not the Beatles, it's not Europe's oldest Chinatown, it's only Anfield that's exciting, Anfield ~ Stadium on Anfield Street! So much so that when he came out of John Lennon Airport and saw Peter who came to pick him up, Mackin asked in Chinese English, "Where is Anfield?" ”

"Oh~oh~, it seems that our young man likes it here, haha~, he also knows Anfield~", Peter is Chen Zixuan's husband, slightly chubby, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, it seems to be a clerical office worker, very enthusiastic, making people feel very close.

"Lily, it seems that our young man is a fan, this is Ai Ming, hey, cute girl, do you like it here, I am your aunt's husband, you can call me Peter or Uncle, you are welcome to come here", Peter first smiled at Chen Zixuan, then turned his head to Ai Ming and smiled.

"Peter~", Chen Zixuan rolled her eyes helplessly, "Do you think they understand such complicated words, not to mention that you still have such a heavy Liverpool accent~"

"Don't worry, Lily, children are the most sensitive, and they can feel my enthusiasm," Peter said as if to invite credit.

"OK, you are a good uncle", Chen Zixuan shrugged helplessly, and then said to Mark Qin and Ai Ming in Chinese: "Ai Ming, Xiao Qin, this is your uncle, he just said that you are welcome here, let's go, let's get in the car and prepare to go home~"

Ai Ming smiled sweetly at Peter and said in jerky English: "Hello, uncle, thank you very much for your hospitality, please bear with me if you have trouble in the future, we are very sorry if you disturb your life." ”

β€œwhatοΌŸβ€ Peter and Chen Zixuan stared at each other with wide eyes, feeling incredible, Chen Zixuan pulled Ai Ming, squatted down and asked, "Mingming, can you communicate in English?" ”

Ai Ming scratched his scalp and said in Chinese: "Usually my brother taught me, I only remember a little, more will not be"

Mark Qin took over and said: "When I am fine, I watch some English programs and movies, can speak some simple conversations, and I taught Emin some when I tutored her."

Chen Zixuan looked at Ma Qin, and felt more and more that this kid was different, and he could tutor others by self-study, although English is not difficult in his opinion, but it is not easy for such a young child to learn this level, and there are many people in their 20s who are in the fourth level.

"Well, dear children, let's go home, I bet you'll love it," beckoned Peter.

Sitting in the back seat, it was getting late, Makqin was lying on the window, watching the portrait of John Lennon getting smaller and smaller in his eyes, "We only have a piece of sky above us", hehe, what a good place, Makqin felt more and more interesting.

Ai Ming looked at his brother's appearance, followed his gaze, the houses on both sides of the road, the chaotic construction site, except that the house was a little different, nothing special, why did my brother seem to like it very much?

~~~~~

Liverpool at night, except for the city center and Pub Street, is quite quiet, this is a small city, located on the east bank of the Mersey River (Mersey River), is the capital of Merseyside, the population is not large, only about 500,000, the entire Liverpool metropolitan area including its four main towns around it is only a million people, no wonder domestic Liverpool fans call Liverpool "Liverpool".

Needless to say, compared with the magic capital imperial capital, Dalian surpasses Liverpool in terms of geography and population, and in modern times, it is surpassed by London and Manchester.

However, Liverpool, as an ocean-going port and industrial center that emerged in England in the 15th century, still has a long history, not to mention the fact that it has nurtured outstanding achievements in culture, education, music, architecture, sports and other aspects.

Liverpool FC, as the representative team of Liverpool City, is the team with the most titles and Champions League titles in the history of the English top flight, as a traditional giant of England, its fate has been bad, the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989, the Hicks and Gillette scam in 2007, once made it devastated its vitality.

But the spirit of Liverpool is still there, and he has been passed down from generation to generation, "this is Anfield", "you will never walk alone", and when the wave of business swept through the football scene, Liverpool stood out with his depth and loyalty.

It's a club full of history!

This is a team that will keep you hooked!

It's a stadium that will blow your mind!

Bill Shankly's heroic soul is still watching, and here, it's Anfield!

Football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death, what is winning or losing!

Only the real Liverpool knows what Liverpool is!

This spirit has been sublimated and infinitely approaches greatness, so it will never die!

……

Back home, a relatively independent single-family villa, with a small garden in the front and back, an independent garage, red bricks, green tiles, and white windows, it looks very clean and neat.

The first floor of the door is a small living room, about forty or fifty square meters, next door to the right hand side is the open dining room and kitchen, upstairs on the second floor of four bedrooms, the house is very modern.

Mark Qin thought to himself that this cheap sister-in-law was not bad here, and to be able to live in such a house in the United Kingdom must have a decent job and a decent income to afford it, like the Celestial Empire, Britain is also a small land and many people, even if this is Liverpool, not a metropolis like London Manchester. At the very least, it belongs to the middle class with a better mix, and it is far worse than the rich, but the quality of life is also relatively high.

After eating, Chen Zixuan lazily fell on the sofa, sighed, "comfortable~", and said to the two children: "Obviously, Xiaoqin, your room is on the second floor, take a shower and rest early, Peter and I are still on vacation these days, take advantage of the time to take the two of you around, then, you are going to live here, you must get familiar with this place as soon as possible."

Peter took the opportunity to hug Chen Zixuan lightly on the sofa, and said: "That's right, treat this place as your home, your aunt and I will take good care of you, I think the first thing is that you two little guys should have English names, you haven't done it yet, right?" OK, this can't help Uncle Peter, obviously, what do you think of Shanny? A girl full of sunshine, Xiaoqin, what about you, I think Mike is your destined name, it is too similar to your Chinese name, and Mike is famous, Jordan, Johnson, yes, it must be very suitable for you", Peter's self-congratulatory enthusiasm seems endless.

Ai Ming looked confused.

Mackin looked confused.

Chen Zixuan couldn't help but roll her eyes again, and couldn't help but give him an elbow, "Please, Peter, their task of learning English is entrusted to you."

For the crooked nuts, he couldn't pass the fourth level, and when he saw Peter Mack, he immediately believed it.

The tongues of all evil.

"Peter is very easy to get along with, you will get used to it after a long time, don't worry, let's take our time, there is a lot of time, isn't it", Chen Zixuan finally said with a smile.

After all, Ai Ming is a teenager, and he can't let go of the unfamiliar environment when he first arrives, but Ma Qin said very easily: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, even if you are busy, I can't lose it if I take Mingming to shop, we often go shopping by ourselves in China, right, Mingming." ”

"Well, my brother is very powerful, he won't get lost no matter how far he goes, and he took me to a lot of fun places", Ai Ming nodded vigorously, looking like Rong Yan.

Ai Ming's heart jumped up suddenly, it seems that his brother is going to take him to open a map again. Hey, why do you call this a map?
