Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Baojian Town is a small town not far from the city, but the roads on both sides have changed from the densely packed buildings in the city to flat grassland and scattered trees dotted in the field.

The uncle driver was quite talkative along the way, especially concerned about work and life conditions in the UK. Because his children also went to the UK after completing college.

Although the relationship between the United Kingdom and Ireland has been very general in history, many Irish people go to work in the United Kingdom because of the economy and language exchange between the two parties.

Maybe it's not the time to commute to get off work, and the traffic jam along the way is not very serious. It only took the taxi about half an hour to cross a distance of more than ten kilometers and arrive in this small town not far from Dublin.

Liang En had discovered that the light spot was in the center of Dublin before, but since this place was so close to home, he naturally went home first instead of going to the city center to look for something first.

"Finally home." Looking at this quiet town, Liang En sighed softly. One thing that is very lucky for him is that although the world has changed, his relatives have not changed at all.

There is only one road in the town, and some two- and three-story buildings with white walls and gray roofs stand on both sides of the road. Because Liang En in this world grew up in a small town, the people he met along the way were basically acquaintance.

While saying hello, Liang En walked along the road towards the outside of the town. Because his family did not live in the town, but on a farm two to three hundred meters away from the town.

The reason why we got off the bus in the town is also very simple, that is, the road leading to the farm is a one-way road, and it is not easy for taxis to get out after entering.

That's right, Liang En's family runs a farm of more than 300 acres in this life.

And it was precisely because of this farm that Liang En's father, who had obtained a master's degree in the early 1990s and had an iron job in school, gave up everything in the country and traveled across the ocean to come here with his mother, who was newly pregnant at the time.

"Here we are, finally home." After dragging the box to the door of the yard, he first looked at the two-story building through the gap in the yard's iron gate for a while, then took a deep breath and stepped forward to ring the doorbell. .

"Who?"

"Mom, I'm back." Liang En replied in Chinese at the top of his lungs.

Soon, a middle-aged woman walked over from the side of the house. As he walked, he was still wiping his hands on his apron.

"I heard you call me before and said that I would prepare a good meal for you when you come back today, but you were just picking eggs from the henhouse."

Liang En's mother said to him while putting an egg in the pocket of her apron. "What I prepared for you tonight are all your favorite foods-"

"By the way, where's Dad?" After walking into the living room with his mother, Liang En put his suitcase aside and asked.

"You are living a confused life. Today is Wednesday and not the weekend. So your dad should be teaching students about Chinese culture and Northeast Asian culture in the primary school in the town."

Liang En's mother is mainly responsible for the work on the farm, while his father works as a mathematics teacher in the town's primary school.

Of course, primary schools in Ireland do not have classes until 6 pm. A lot of time in the afternoon is reserved for extracurricular interest classes, and public primary schools in such towns also have the problem of shortage of staff.

Therefore, Liang En’s father, in addition to teaching daily mathematics classes, also serves as an instructor for extracurricular interest classes on Chinese culture and Northeast Asian culture.

In fact, there are two tendencies for those living abroad. One of them will imitate the various lifestyles of the locals as much as possible, thinking that only in this way can they blend into the surrounding environment.

The other type will consciously retain the characteristics of the motherland, and even try to reflect the characteristics of their own nation in daily life.

It's hard to comment on which of these two methods is better, but Liang En's family adopts the latter method.

Even back then, after his father realized that it was easy for his children to develop an ABC in this environment where they were the only Chinese family in the town, he specifically reported to the principal to set up an after-school interest class in Eastern culture.

This is why Liang En remembers that the other person can speak very fluent Mandarin, and although there is a Western aspect to his daily habits, he can still see the obvious national character.

"By the way, didn't you say you were working for an antique shop in London? Why did you suddenly come back this time?" Just when Liang En stretched out his paws to the snacks that had just come out of the oven on the dining table, his mother suddenly asked. "Isn't he guilty of something?"

"You have to believe in your son." Liang En burst out laughing, then went to the corridor and dragged the suitcase in, "I came back this time mainly to bring back a valuable thing and put it away, and by the way, I came to the island to hunt for treasures. .”

"Valuable things?" The mother who was washing vegetables turned off the faucet and walked over. "You're so lucky that you buy lottery tickets every week but haven't even won the minimum prize of two pounds in ten years, and still get something good?"

"Don't believe it, your son is really transferred this time -" Liang En said as he opened his suitcase, then took out the copper pot and talked about his general situation in the past two months.

Ten minutes later, his mother finally understood that her son was indeed promising and could gain a foothold in society.

"This is great, it's a good thing to be able to find a job that suits you-" Mom said excitedly, patting the back of Liang En's hand.

After he graduated from college, his family had always hoped that he could find a stable job. It would be better if he could become a civil servant, but Liang En, who had a golden finger at that time, spent a lot of effort to convince his parents. Then go to London alone to make a living.

Contrary to what some people imagine, being a civil servant is a very good job not only in China, but also in most countries around the world.

Although the salary of this job is not high, it is not as busy as a private company and the job is stable. In addition, civil servants often have various bonuses, allowances, insurance and a series of benefits.

Therefore, in the view of Liang En's parents, it is best to have such a decent and stable job after graduating from college. As for the family farm, it can be completely entrusted to a series of agricultural companies.

This was an important reason why he had to spend a lot of time and energy convincing his parents in advance when he decided to go out for a career.

But now his parents can finally feel relieved, because even in a high-income country like the UK, earning hundreds of thousands in two months is definitely a high income.

At around 6 p.m., Liang En's father also walked into the house, and then the family sat around the dining table and had dinner. After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, his parents began to care about Liang En's life alone in London.

Of course, urging marriage is also something that cannot be avoided. At least in the eyes of his parents, Liang En has now been able to gain a foothold in society, so it's time to start a family and start a business.

"Okay, okay, you can rest assured on this point -" Looking at his parents, you and I were talking about this matter one by one, Liang En could only helplessly laugh along with him.

It seemed that no matter which world he was in, he could not escape the fate of being forced to get married by his parents.
