Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 360
Arriving at London Heathrow Airport at around five o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Dongqing dragged her daughter out of the station with her suitcase, and saw beautiful girls in the waiting hall, one of them was blond, blue-eyed and petite.The other has short black hair, a beautiful oriental face, and is slim in a T-shirt and jeans.

It was bright, and she was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

"Brother-in-law! Tongtong!"

Mingmei also saw Yu Dongqing's father and daughter, walking towards them with a smile.

"Auntie."

Yu Tongtong ran over first and plunged into Mingmei's arms.

The two kissed each other, and then Mingmei handed the flowers to Yu Dongqing.

"Brother-in-law, this is my good friend Elena." Ming pointed to the curious Elena beside her.

"Hello, Miss Elena, I heard Mingmei mentioned you, thank you for helping her." Yu Dongqing said in fluent English.

"You're welcome." Elena also replied in English: "Mr. Yu, I have heard Mingmei mention you many times, but to use a Chinese saying: Seeing a hundred things is better than hearing a hundred times. You are really handsome! No wonder Mingmei likes you so much. You, I'm tempted to see it."

"You're too much." Yu Dongqing kept a peaceful smile on his face.

Mingmei was embarrassed when she heard this, and worried that Elena would say something outrageous again, so she quickly changed the topic: "Brother-in-law, Tongtong, let's go, Elena will drive to pick you up, first go to the hotel and arrange for you to stay, then go to eat.

Yu Dongqing lived in a Radisson Blu Hotel on Bloomsbury Street, not far from the London Film Academy. She packed her luggage at the hotel, washed up briefly, and went to dinner with Mingmei.

Naturally, it is western food.

Simple, steak, salad, and finally pudding and drink.

Yu Dongqing didn't like western food, but it didn't hinder him from eating some. He was worried that his daughter might not get used to it, but he actually ate it with gusto.

Alas. What a snack.

But now is the time to grow your body, so it's okay to eat more.

"Brother-in-law, this is the travel itinerary I planned for you in England." Mingmei took out a document from her bag and handed it to Yu Dongqing.

Yu Dongqing took a look, and the three-day plan was very detailed.

On the first day, visit Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Big Ben, Palace of Westminster.

The next day, British Museum, National Gallery, British Library, Hyde Park.

Day [-], Victoria and Albert Museum, Science Museum, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower of London and Tower Bridge
Then fly to Paris to continue the trip to France, and finally fly to Venice, Italy, to visit Elena's home. After the trip, Yu Dongqing returned to China, and returned to school brightly to continue her work. The whole journey took about half a month.

Yu Dongqing looked at it and suddenly said, "Shall we go to Scarborough?"

"Why do you want to go there?" Mingmei was a little surprised.

"Wow, brother-in-law, you really know how to choose a place!" It was Elena who interrupted, and she was called brother-in-law Yu Dongqing just like Mingmei.

"There is the most beautiful beach there, and if you walk slowly along the coastline from the hillside to the beach, it will be very, very romantic."

that's right
Mingmei was moved immediately.

"Okay, let's go to Scarborough after London!"

Yu Dongqing smiled and said nothing.

In fact, what attracted him was not the beach, but the classic British ballad.

It's a pity that this song doesn't exist in this time and space.

But Scarborough Fair still exists, right?
He wants to go and see.

Early the next morning, the leisurely trip to Europe began.

First, have a hearty English breakfast, sausages, bacon, and a glass of milk, and then Yu Dongqing will take her daughter to Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guard ceremony. It's pretty laid back.

Of course, don't forget to take a group photo.

Both Mingmei and Yu Tongtong are girls who like to take pictures, and Yu Dongqing plays the role of photographer consciously.

In the evening, the two stood on the banks of the Thames, with Big Ben and the London Eye at sunset in the background, which was very beautiful.

"Brother-in-law, shall we take a photo together?" Mingmei sent out an invitation.

"It's okay, you two can take photos."

"Dad, why are you and I taking pictures, or me and my aunt, why don't you take pictures with my aunt?!" Yu Tongtong "questioned" his father.

This time I will take a photo of you two. "

This one
Yu Dongqing was a little speechless.

Can you tell your daughter something?

"Brother-in-law, the three of us should take pictures together." Mingmei said.

"OK then."

Yu Dongqing nodded.

Mingmei immediately smiled and asked a girl passing by to take a picture, and the girl was very happy to help.

The three stood by the bridge, and Yu Tongtong stood between the two adults, facing the camera.

Just after taking the photo, Yu Tongtong asked again: "Dad, you stand in the middle, and my aunt and I stand on both sides!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but ran to Yu Dongqing's side and hugged his father's arm very affectionately.

"Auntie, you too!"

Mingmei was a little embarrassed, but she gently took Yu Dongqing's arm, and the three of them were close together.

"OK!"

After three full days in London, on the morning of the fourth day, the three of Yu Dongqing took the train from London to Scarborough.

Scarborough, on the coast of the North Sea in North Yorkshire, England, is just over two hours' drive from London, and will soon arrive at its destination.

Mingmei has booked two rooms on the Internet. It is a hotel called Luolv Gables. The three of them rushed to the hotel by taxi. This is an English castle-like hotel. Standing in the room through the window, you can see the beach.

"Brother-in-law, let's go to the beach!" The three of them walked out of the train station, Mingmei said excitedly looking at the blue sky and sea not far away.

Unexpectedly, Yu Dongqing shook her head.

"No, I'm going to the market."

market?

Bright felt a little strange.

My brother-in-law is not someone who likes to go shopping, why go to the market?
But if he is going, just stay with him and be happy.

After resting for a while, I went downstairs and asked the waiter at the bar about the location of the market. The three of them left the hotel and walked towards the city center.

Yu Dongqing was surprised when she arrived at the said market.

This is the legendary Scarborough Fair?
The locals call Scarborough Market Hal?

A large Roman-style building, divided into two floors, the first floor is vegetables, fruits and seafood, and the second floor is local handicrafts and packaged agricultural products.

Yu Dongqing went up to the second floor and looked at the local vegetables for sale.

Linen clothes are definitely not available now.

But what about parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme?

I only saw parsley, that is, parsley, and nothing else.

This is really disappointing.

But think about it.

The things in those lyrics describe what happened more than 100 years ago.

"Brother-in-law, what are you looking at? Are you going to buy vegetables and cook?" Mingmei was very confused by Yu Dongqing's actions today.

"Father, are you going to make fish and chips? This is my favorite." Yu Tongtong actually came to join in the fun.

What a snack, Yu Dongqing touched her daughter's hair very affectionately, and said with a smile: "How can I make fish and chips? I think of a folk song. Let's go back."
