(The storyline is fictitious, the official must not sit in the opposite seat, the similarity is purely a coincidence)

The sun was shining in the morning, the sky was blue and the clouds were white. Jing Hao and Harry were sitting in a café on Cowley Road, and Jing Hao told Harry that his mother had probably returned to China now, and as he was talking, Jing Hao's father sent Jing Hao a WeChat audio message.

Jing Hao said, "Dad, did you pick up my mother?" When her flight arrived, I sent her a WeChat message, and she said that it had landed and you were going to pick her up. ”

The father said, "Oh, we're back, I'll tell you to reassure you." Again, what does your mother say, are you really with a British man? Or an old man? Quiet, your mother is exaggerating, right? ”

Jing Hao said: "Oh, she's exaggerating, I'm just a friend!" It's not an old man, let my mother say this, what has happened! Jing Hao deliberately dragged out the sound.

Dad said, "Ah, there's really a man!" However, after all, foreigners have some different ideas than us, and I discussed it seriously with your mother, and we both think you should be careful......"

Jing Hao said: "What am I careful about! Oops, Dad, why are you also affected by my mother? The people here are not savages, and the overall civilization level of the society is much higher than yours! Don't worry. ”

Jinghao's father didn't speak, and Jinghao's mother grabbed the phone again and told Jinghao.

Jing Hao hung up the phone, a little embarrassed, and joked with Harry: "Chinese parents are like this, they always think that children can't take care of themselves!" In their eyes, children will always be drooping children! Or simply swaddling babies! Hehe. ”

Harry didn't understand the words that came out of Jinghao's mouth—drooping child, swaddling baby—and he seemed more sensitive to one of the previous conversations.

Harry shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, asking, "Who are the 'wildlings'?" Did your mom mean me? Because she saw the golden fur on my arm? She seems to be dissatisfied with my part last time......"

Jing laughed: "Hehe, no, my parents are in charge of too many things, worried that I am alone here, remind me to be careful, I joked with them that the people here are not savages, not talking about you!" ”

Harry said, "Oh, then, what did you say later?" ”

Jing Hao was stunned for a moment: "'Zhizi'? Did I say that? ”

"Oh", she immediately laughed, guessing that he had probably learned a little bit of poetry, and as soon as she heard the "child" of "drooping child", she thought of the "child" of "holding the hand of the child, growing old with the child......

Jing Hao said: "That is the 'drooping child', which means a child, not the 'holding son' of the 'hand of the child' you have learned." What about our Chinese children in ancient times, called 'childish', hanging hair refers to the appearance of hair, probably, about eight or nine years old at most, you don't care so much, in short, it is the meaning of children! ”

Harry nodded, still confused, and said, "I see, they use you as an excuse to learn about you, right?" I see that your father and mother have asked too much about you! They don't live independently enough on their own, and they don't want you to be independent, do they? ”

Jing Hao said: "A little, but most Chinese parents are like this. ”

"Well——, I think you don't always talk to your parents about your life, don't interfere with each other, and if you don't tell them, they won't worry......

Jing Hao turned his head to look at Harry, and said deliberately, "My mom told my dad that I was probably dating someone older, so my dad was also very concerned. ”

Harry smiled awkwardly, not thinking of what to say.

Jing Hao said: "Maybe because many of us are only children, parents always feel that children must communicate with them about everything, like my parents, who think they are the best people in the world for me, so I have to tell them everything." Hehe, there's really no way. ”

Harry shrugged his shoulders again and smiled, "But, we are all independent people, and I don't think we should get too much into each other's lives." You see my mother, she's always lived on her own, and of course I'll go back to visit her, but we don't interfere with each other's lives or make decisions. ”

Jing Hao said, "Yes, your mother is very independent. However, you have several brothers and sisters, I am an only child, one-child-family, one-child family, you know, the characteristics of our generation in China. Maybe because there is only one child, Mom and Dad may put all their energy and attention on the child's affairs. Once they know something, they ask it repeatedly. ”

Harry shrugged and raised an eyebrow, "But what's the need?" Do you think it makes sense to do that? ”

Jinghao shook his head: "I can't help it, but they are like this, after my mother asked, my father couldn't help but ask again." Hehe, sometimes my mother asks first, tells my father, and my father asks again, and then he tells my mother what he heard, and when my mother hears that it is not the same as what I told her, she is worried, so she calls again and asks, and she tries to know more details, as if I always have something important left unsaid, hehe. ”

Harry grinned like a bean and said, "Well——, they have their lives, you have your lives, for example, if you stay in England in the future, will they also come and know how you live, what you eat, what you drink, what you do at home, what you do when you go out?" Even, do you want to live with you? ”

When Jing Hao heard this, his heart "chuckled" and was touched: although he hadn't seriously thought about it before, if he really stayed in England, couldn't his parents come to live with him? Parents only have one child of their own, who are they with when they are old and don't live with them? What does Harry mean by that?

This is also really a problem that plagues only children, who have always been regarded as children by others as a child of the post-85 generation, and they must also start thinking about how to take care of their parents, and even the issue of their parents' pension!

Jing Hao said: "But, we are different from you, I said, we are a 'one-child family', they only have me, in the future, they will not live with me, who will they be with?" That's a real problem, and I wish I could live with them. But they're all fine right now, so there's no need to worry. ”

Harry said: "When the time comes, they will be able to live independently, or they will go to a nursing home, how nice!" ”

She swallowed: Let my parents go to a nursing home?

"My mother said that she would go to a nursing home when she was too old, and there were nursing staff and doctors who took care of them in a timely and thoughtful manner, and they were very comfortable, and they delivered and took medicine on time," Harry said. ”

Jing Hao asked: "Then, if your mother, she wants to live with you, will you not agree?" ”

Harry said, "Me? I should be fine, but my mother won't agree to it herself, because I can't take care of her. She's certainly better off going to a nursing home! When I get old, if I am still alone, too old to live alone, I will also go to a nursing home! ”

Jing Hao looked up at Harry again, she knew that Harry was not joking, he was seriously expressing his attitude towards life.

However, the British are indeed a little too detached in this regard, and of course the conditions in their nursing homes are indeed better and more perfect in all aspects. Think about your parents again, when they are old in the future, don't they really need to take care of themselves and go to a nursing home?

Most Chinese still hope to live in their own homes with their families, enjoy family fun with their children, and will not go to a nursing home unless there is really no way. In fact, many elderly Chinese people would rather live alone with an empty nest than go to a nursing home to live in a group...... Of course, this has to do with the culture of the Chinese. Jing Hao had never thought about this before, but Harry mentioned it, and she couldn't help but wonder about it, she actually wanted her parents to live with her.

The daughter of Nam Chung Town is called "Nan Xiaomin", and her English name is: Shawn - "Sean".

Jinghao and Harry were chatting, the little girl Sean, that is, Hyomin, suddenly called Harry, saying that she had received an email from her father some time ago, and she had forwarded the email to Harry's mailbox, asking Harry to find a way to get in touch with her father in London by email, and asked Harry to sort out all the photos of himself, his mother, and his father, save them into an electronic album, and copy them to a USB flash drive, preferably in person, according to the address she gave Harry, find her father, or mail it to him.

Jing Hao was a little strange, why as soon as the phone rang, Harry immediately picked up the phone, walked to the side, and deliberately stood under the glass window of the café, and it was the one farthest away from Jing Hao, and his voice seemed to become very soft. This had never been done before, was there something she didn't want to know?

The little girl instructed Harry to compress several more files at the same time and send them to her father's email address several times to make sure that his father could see the photos......

The little girl Sean hopes that her father will be touched and moved after seeing these photos, and the ultimate goal is to let him go to South Korea to pick her up and return to London. The little girl's Korean relatives all hope that the little girl can go back to London to go to primary school, after all, the British education environment is better, and the relatives always feel that no matter how unreliable that person is, after all, it is her own father, and Sean is a British passport, but he has become a foreigner in South Korea, and there are many inconveniences in going to school. In Korea, the main person who takes care of the little girl is her grandmother, who is very old and hopes that she will return to the UK to live with her father as soon as possible.

Harry and Sean talked on the phone for a long time, and when he hung up the phone, he pondered for a while, considering that he was afraid that Jing Hao would have some unnecessary misunderstandings, and he was afraid that he would not be able to explain the ins and outs of one or two sentences, so he decided not to talk about this matter with Jing Hao first.

The stilled coffee was already cold, and so was Harry's. It's been a long call.

Jing Hao said, "Do you need to add some hot water to you?" ”

Harry said, "No, no, otherwise, let's go back." I have some information to sort out when I get home. Just now, a friend called and asked me to help her sort out some information. The data is stored on the computer at home. ”

Jing Hao said, "Oh, friend? Colleague? ”

Harry said, "Yes, sort of." ”

Jing Hao said, "Then let's go back quickly." ”

Jing Hao usually doesn't ask Harry about his work casually, but this time she chased after him and asked, "Is it James?" When he finished speaking, he was a little surprised.

Harry was expressionless: "No, no one else, you, don't know." ”

Jing Hao felt more curious, how could there be a colleague she didn't recognize? Aren't Harry's colleagues the other teachers in Jinghao's major, and there are only seven or eight people in total? But she didn't ask any more.

Actually, she didn't mind that Harry didn't explain much about the call, but for some reason she thought it was a little strange, she had the impression that he didn't usually talk to someone on the phone for that long. He was a crisp and neat man, who could tell a thing clearly in a few words; If there are several things, you can also say them clearly in a few sentences. This time, according to 200 words a minute, the two of them probably said two or three thousand words back and forth!

HARRY IS A SERIOUS PERSON, AND SINCE HE PROMISED THE LITTLE GIRL ON THE PHONE, HE BEGAN TO DOWNLOAD PHOTOS FROM FACEBOOK IN NAM CHONG TOWN AS SOON AS HE GOT HOME, AND COLLECTED ALL THE PICTURES HE COULD FIND FROM THE PREVIOUS EMAIL EXCHANGES BETWEEN THE TWO, ONE BY ONE, AND CAREFULLY COPIED THEM TO THE IPAD. He made an electronic photo album on the IPAD, thought about it, named the album "Yongzen & Shawn" (Yongjin & Hyomin), and put all the photos of them he could find into this album.
