She was very clear about her plans and knew that she would be a solitary traveler with plans that she could not share with others. Therefore, she never planned to interact with other international students on the ship, and her encounters with other passengers were completely chance encounters.
They stay together for a short time on a short journey, and then go their separate ways.
Although a poet said: I look back five hundred times in the past life in exchange for one passing by you in this life, but I look back a thousand times in exchange for stopping in front of you in this life.
But Ling Xiao feels that there are too many people that people can pass by in this life. The so-called fate is shallow, and in the end most people are just passers-by. How many true confidants can a person have in his life?
That's enough.
As an outsider, she didn't know how long she would spend in this world, but she was used to walking alone and had no need to find any confidants. She just wanted to save the original owner and leave, so naturally she didn't need to worry about what happened next.
Passers-by A, B, C and D who may meet again.
As for the idea that Ling Xiao was just showing favor to the so-called companions on the journey, Ling Xiao did not express it in front of the old man at all. You must know that the parents of the original owner were very worried before Ling Xiao boarded the ship. They had been hoping that their daughter could make friends on the ship these days.
Go to friends.
The reason why they think this way is that they are afraid that their daughters will not be safe on the road, so they hope that they can make more good connections so that their children will have someone to help them when they encounter problems.
As for their kindness, Ling Xiao, as the person involved, did not refute. Even if she didn't agree with it, she pretended to be very obedient because she understood one thing very well: that is, the mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles. The elders are really worried about their daughter after she goes out.
You may encounter harassment from all aspects, as well as personal safety issues.
They are anxious when they think of their daughter going to receive higher education as an international student, because they know very well that their daughter will not only have to leave home far away, but also travel across the ocean alone. They have all read relevant media reports and are very aware of the risks.
You may encounter many dangers on a seagoing ship, not only natural disasters, such as hurricanes and huge waves. Even the most luxurious seagoing ships may be involved in shipwrecks, and may even encounter man-made disasters.
Mother Lin knew very well that as a woman, she might be coveted by outsiders, and women are naturally weak in terms of physical strength and strength. Once they encounter problems, the risk of encountering them will naturally increase. There are even evil people who will use money powers to force them to
Women sell themselves.
You should know that your daughter is a girl who has just grown up, so you are really worried, but you do not have the financial strength to send your daughter to her destination in person.
At this moment, the couple has absolutely no intention of letting their adult children live independently and no longer paying for their tuition. No, no, no, they will never agree. As a person who has experienced the ups and downs of society, Father Lin knows very well that a person
It's hard to make money in an unfamiliar place.
Sure enough, Father Lin is a smart person, but this chaotic era emphasizes family support, personal connections, and the person involved must be ruthless. If not, he must be sweet-talking and have the ability to confuse right and wrong.
Ling Xiao saw clearly and had no intention of giving any advice to Father Lin. As an adult, he had his own thoughts and did not need outsiders to tell him what to do.
Daughters who do not study abroad have no choice but to get married. I am not sure whether a married daughter will live well or not. After all, there have been cases where men who are good husband candidates have abandoned their wives after becoming rich, saying that their first wives who have not received higher education are not worthy of marrying new and new humans.
Be a couple.
Victims who are soft-hearted are often unable to use defensive weapons. The so-called self-defense weapons are more likely to fall into the hands of the other party. This is a weapon sent from a thousand miles away, because the daughter is carrying a dagger, but it may bring more unsafe factors to her daughter.
In fact, how can they make money without a higher education diploma? They are not very proficient in the language and it is a country that discriminates against yellow people. How many people will be willing to hire them? The only thing they can do is wash dishes, right?
Father Lin has a clear conscience. As a person who works in a foreign bank, he has encountered many things. He knows very well that the country where his children study is definitely not the so-called paradise.
Lin's mother was responsible for preparing things. She wanted to bring everything for her daughter, but in the end she didn't dare to bring too much. Her daughter couldn't carry it. Thinking of safety issues, she thought about whether to prepare some self-defense weapons for her daughter, such as carrying
A dagger for self-defense.
She is so scared, so she doesn't want her daughter to take the same path as herself. She lives a good life because her husband has a conscience, but she can't guarantee that her daughter will meet a good man, and she really can't believe other men.
They are parents who love their children and feel that their children study abroad instead of working to earn their own tuition. If they don’t have that condition, then that’s it, and they have to let their children work hard on their own.
Mother Lin stayed for a long time after hearing this, feeling a little disbelieving, but Father Lin had witnessed with his own eyes that when a woman was hurt by someone, she had a knife in her hand and could only swing it around, but she didn't dare to really injure the other person, thinking that she
You can scare the intruder away, but find that your weapon has been snatched away by the opponent, which makes the rescue more difficult.
But Father Lin told his wife not to prepare. Women are often timid when encountering trouble. Plus, they are kind-hearted. Even if they pick up protective weapons and encounter vicious gangsters, they would not dare to take action. They will only scare others, thinking that this is enough.
Protect yourself.
As parents, they don't think about having a good family, they feel that by raising their children to adulthood, they have completely fulfilled their mission.
After hearing what her husband said, Mother Lin was stunned for a moment, how could this happen? But then she thought, if she couldn't kill the other person with a knife, after all, as an ordinary woman, she had no intention of killing, so holding a knife would be useless.
Therefore, they decided not to prepare any dangerous weapons for their daughter.
In fact, this idea of holding a weapon to protect yourself often fails, because it is men who want to attack women, who are often more courageous and capable of ruthlessness.
After hearing this, Lin's mother gritted her teeth and shed tears, because she remembered that the flowery woman she knew died early for this reason. After her death, no one mourned her. They only shouted that her ex-husband had done a good job and got rid of the remnants of feudalism.
.
Father Lin is clear-headed and has real abilities, but he will not grovel, which restricts his development. Therefore, Father Lin is destined to be unable to reach higher places. In fact, it is good for him to be like this, otherwise he is from a low background and has no backing.
There is a possibility of becoming cannon fodder accidentally, so it is better to just do something practical based on your true ability.
Over the years, the couple has not favored sons over daughters. They have made every effort to provide for their two children to study. It can be said that studying is the couple's biggest expense.
When bidding farewell to their daughter, the Lin family's parents watched their daughter board the cruise ship. The two of them kept smiling until the ship left. They were really worried about their daughter embarking on the journey alone.
They even plan to live a more frugal life while their children are not around to take care of them, so that they can save more money for emergencies.
Father Lin held his wife's hand. He was also helpless. His hair had turned a lot white these days because he didn't know if it was right to let his daughter go out, but he had to watch the day of separation approaching day by day.
They are both rare smart people. They started saving money after getting married just to raise their own children. After their daughter decided to study abroad, they did not stop her and instead supported her behavior.
Since they can save more money, they naturally want to give their children enough money to pay tuition and living expenses as much as possible, so that they can concentrate on studying.
She once didn't want her daughter to take risks, but Lin's father told her: As long as her daughter is alive, she will encounter many, many problems. If her daughter is incapable, she will be even more unable to resist external forces.
Of the couple, only Father Lin works, and Mother Lin is a housewife. Fortunately, Father Lin’s salary is not low, so the family can have enough food and drink. The family is much better than the people living at the bottom. But it is absolutely impossible to live a happy life.
It's a luxurious life because Lin's family has two money-consuming gold-devouring beasts who want to study.
Ling Xiao didn't say anything after hearing this, because Father Lin did the right thing. As an ordinary person, he should learn how to save his life as much as possible, instead of thinking about how to fight those criminals, because ordinary people have no sense of fighting at all.
Often, if you cannot defeat the opponent, you may anger the opponent and endanger your own life.
Don't look at some people who claim that the United States is a country made up of immigrants, and say that the people in this country are not xenophobic. This is just deceiving people who don't understand the United States.
Father Lin is very aware of the condescending mentality of foreigners. He is only afraid of worsening the situation in other people's territory, and does not think about letting his children go out to work and make money.
In his heart, he always felt that his children were just traveling across the ocean to learn more knowledge. Why should they be in a hurry to make money?
If the family really can't provide for it, that's it! Now the family can give the children a certain amount of support, so Father Lin would rather be tired than let the children wash the dishes.
