Chapter 2 Uncle

Uncle Li Hong, a relative whom Yang Daye had never met only after his name. His mother's only brother first smuggled into Hong Kong in his early years and later immigrated to the UK.

In the past, communication was not well developed, and the two parties did not have much contact. Later, when the Internet era began, my uncle got older, and he had more contact with his mother. In addition to seeing photos, Yang Daye's impression of this cheap uncle was heard from his mother. Because his grandparents died early and had no other brothers and sisters, this uncle was Yang Daye's only relative.

Thinking of this only uncle he never met, Yang Daye was full of curiosity. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel confused about the life he had to face next.

The reason for coming to England to join my uncle is a bit complicated. It is not that Yang Daye can't make a fortune in China, but that his parents' concerns and his unwillingness to give up on football.

Speaking of Britain, I believe that the first thing many people think of is football. Football is a business card of modern Britain. Yang Daye wanted to see what other people's football looks like. Then, when his mother asked him to go to London to defect to his strange uncle, he thought for a moment and agreed.

What will happen to Britain? Football? The future? What will happen to everything strange?

With such expectations and confusion, Yang Daye walked out of the airport exit passage.

At the exit, Yang Daye quickly found his name from the person holding the sign to pick up the plane. He could find it at a glance in the traditional Chinese. The person holding the sign was a man with white hair and black and white between his hair. It was his uncle.

"Daye, Daye." Uncle Li Hong also saw him soon and waved his hand with a gentle smile. This is Mandarin with a Hong Kong flavor. If you don't listen carefully, it's like "unemployed".

And he is indeed unemployed. Yang Daye felt self-deprecating in his heart, which can be regarded as eased some of his confusion.

When he came to Li Hong, Yang Daye called out softly: "Uncle, uncle."

"Welcome to the UK. Haha, you are so handsome. Not bad, not bad. From you, I seem to see the shadow of your mother when she was young. Alas, after years of separation, I can't remember how many years I haven't seen your mother." Li Hong smiled and gave Yang Daye a hug, but sighed afterwards.

This is my uncle!

Yang Daye feels pretty good. People look much younger and cheerful than their actual age. The uncle's smile makes Yang Daye feel much more at ease.

"My mother often mentions you to me. She always tells me about taking her to catch fish and roast sweet potatoes when she was a child."

"Yes, I was poor at that time and couldn't even have enough food. I'll take your mother to do it all day long... Okay, Daye, you just got off the plane, let's go home first."

"Okay." Yang Daye followed his uncle Li Hong with his luggage. After all, he was still at the airport and there was so much to say.

On the way home, my uncle Li Hong looked very happy and kept talking about some old past events in the not-so-fluent hometown dialect.

Some things were almost heard from his mother, and some were something he had never heard of. Although it was probably because his uncle's hometown dialect had not been said for many years, it was quite difficult to understand, but it allowed Yang Daye to eliminate the tension and confusion of first coming to a strange place.

Uncle Li Hong runs a Chinese restaurant in London Chinatown and lives in a house behind the restaurant.

After arriving in Chinatown, Yang Daye followed his uncle to his home. His three-bedroom and one-living room, and it was Chinese. This feeling made Yang Daye feel strange.

"Daye, this room will be yours in the future." Li Hong led Yang Daye to one of the rooms.

A not-so-large room, a bed, a desk, and a small wardrobe. The layout is simple, but Yang Daye is very satisfied. At least it is much better than the place he rented during his internship. Moreover, when he saw that the room was also recently cleaned up.

"How about it?"

"Very good. Thank you, uncle."

"Why are you polite?"

"Haha." After Yang Daye put his luggage down, he smiled. This uncle is really good.

"The room opposite you belongs to your cousin. However, she rarely comes back now." After seeing Yang Daye put his luggage in, Li Hong pointed to the door and said.

"Oh." Yang Daye looked at the opposite door curiously, but naturally he didn't see anything when the door was closed.

"Your cousin is very happy to hear that you are coming. She said she will come back after finishing her work in a few days." As Li Hong spoke, there was a sense of tenderness and pride that made Yang Daye feel clearly.

"Oh. I really look forward to seeing my cousin." Yang Daye is really looking forward to it. His cousin is a mixed-race child, said to be very beautiful, and he is also a top student who graduated from the law department of Oxford University.

"Haha, your cousin will be very happy to see you. She has always hoped to have a younger brother and sister since she was a child. Unfortunately, her mother left early~~~" Speaking of this, Li Hong's original smile brought longing and silence.

"I heard that my cousin is not only beautiful but also amazing. One is good at a few." Yang Daye quickly crossed the topic. His aunt was a British man, but unfortunately he left early. But then again, this was quite admirable. His uncle was a Chinese man, and in that era when he was not seen by the West, he actually married a British beauty as his wife. This is really awesome.

"Ana is really smart. She has been like an adult since she was a child. When she was studying, many things were better than me." When she mentioned this daughter, Li Hong's face appeared pride and gentleness. "She has a lot of things now, she is busy, and she doesn't come back. She even asked me to let the restaurant open for others and let me travel and play everywhere. But what's the point of having me alone? Besides, this restaurant is my lifelong life that I have been running for decades, so how can I not open it?"

"Oh." Yang Daye felt that he should be a good listener now.

It is also the reason why my uncle said above that was his push to come to London. He asked him, who was unemployed, to come to England to help his uncle. After all, although his uncle looked less than 50 on the surface, he was actually 60 years old, and it was inevitable that he was not as energetic as he was. There were no other males in the family, and his only daughter was too powerful and had a better career, so he didn't want to take over.

"Let's go and go to the restaurant. From now on, you will have to help your uncle take care of the restaurant." When he said that when he was a restaurant, Li Hong decided to take Yang Daye to take a look.

"Okay." Yang Daye also wanted to see where he would work in the future.

When I arrived at my uncle's Chinese restaurant, it was very Chinese in style, both outside and inside. This is also the characteristic of Chinatown.

"Second, this is my nephew's Daye."

"Big Niu, this is my nephew. He will come to our restaurant in the future. Don't bully him."

“Ali……………”

Li Hong introduced Yang Daye from the restaurant to the kitchen. Yang Daye also smiled and greeted his colleagues in the future. They were all middle-aged Chinese, and Yang Daye also felt that these people were good from the greetings. It should not be difficult to get along with.

"Daye. I'll ask you to take care of you here in the future. Everyone is actually pretty good, you will definitely get along well." After all the introductions, Li Hong said to Yang Daye.

"I can feel that everyone is very good. Uncle, don't worry." Although he just came, Yang Daye accepted this uncle from this short contact.

"Okay. You have just got off the plane, so you can go to rest and fall down the jet lag first. In the evening, my uncle will set up a welcoming banquet for you."

"Yes. OK, then I'll go and rest first."
