"Yes, there are many. This area, for example, is completely unattended."
"How do you know?"
"A few days ago, during class, the teacher told me about the situation here. There are not many people here, and it's not very big. Life here is usually very leisurely."
"Dad, Dad, look, I found a big shell."
"Well, An An is awesome, keep it if you like it."
Deng Chen and Ying Han had just arrived here and were not very familiar with the place.
Besides taking their children to the playground, this is where the couple goes.
Yinghan also started school as scheduled.
You can’t sleep in in the morning.
Ying Han prepares lunch boxes for the children in the morning, and then Deng Chen takes the children to school.
Yinghan drove there on his first day of school.
Deng Chen repeatedly told him to drive carefully.
Ying Han nodded repeatedly. She was also very careful.
I was nervous and anxious on the first day of school because I thought there would be many students in the classroom.
Unexpectedly, there were only about a dozen people including her. The one next to her, Laka, was not from the local area either. Her home was in the neighboring country, which was quite close.
Laka communicated enthusiastically with Ying Han all morning.
She now lives in the school apartment and asks Yinghan which room he lives in.
Ying Han shook her head and said that she lived outside.
Laka said "oh" and said that she would visit her house when she had time, and asked if there was anyone at her house.
Ying Han said her husband and two children.
Only then did Laka realize that Ying Han's entire family was studying abroad.
He kept smiling, giving her a thumbs up and saying she was amazing.
At noon, the two of them went to have lunch together.
In the afternoon, Ying Han had to go back after his first class.
Laka was kind enough to cover for her and let her go.
Ying Han gratefully said that he would bring her some fruit tomorrow.
Ying Han drove to the children's school in a hurry, and Deng Chen was already waiting there.
The two suddenly realized that they had forgotten to tell each other in the morning who would come back to pick up the child in the afternoon.
They shrugged and smiled at each other.
After picking up the child, the two returned home and looked at each other's schedules.
"Deng Chen, the classes I take on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoons aren't professional courses. They're about Chinese language and some history. I can learn these on my own."
"That's perfect. My classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday aren't very busy. I'll take them on those days."
"good."
"Mom, An An and I made a new friend today. His name is Ned. He ate the fried rice that Mom made for us and said it was delicious. He also let us eat his sausage."
"Really? That's great. This is the first friend our Bai Yu and An An have made since coming here. Isn't it?"
"Well, we like him very much. Mom, can you bring us tomato rice tomorrow? Bring an extra portion. I want to treat him to a meal."
"Okay, no problem."
The children have been eating cold food at school recently, but fortunately there have been no adverse reactions.
She was really worried that the children would get stomach upset after eating cold food.
It’s ok in summer now, but I don’t know what to do in winter.
Tonight, Ying Han made hand-rolled noodles to warm the two little ones' tummies.
While Ying Han was cooking, Deng Chen was speaking Mandarin to them.
They have been here for so long, and I am afraid that they will forget the knowledge at home, so I have to review it from time to time.
The two also made a study schedule for the children.
Monday is their Mandarin, Tuesday is Chinese, Wednesday is Chinese, and Thursday is a hobby course.
Friday is still a hobby.
An An's piano lessons cannot be stopped, so they are thinking of finding a professional teacher who specializes in piano lessons.
However, they are still having some difficulty communicating with the locals, so they just have to wait and see.
After the family of four was settled, Deng Chen installed a telephone here.
After the phone was installed, I made an international long-distance call right away.
I didn't dare say too much because it was too expensive. I just told my family that they were doing well here and everything was going well, and asked them not to worry.
Ask Mr. Deng to send a copy of their phone number and address to Ying Han's unit to facilitate future contact. This is also the unit's requirement.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed.
Today is Sunday. Ying Han has opened up a small vegetable patch in the backyard and plans to plant some vegetables today.
Ying Han decided to plant a few beans, two tomatoes, two eggplants, and a few peppers. Potatoes are indispensable because the children like to eat them.
In addition to these, I also got a row of green onions and ginger.
These vegetables are seedlings that Ying Han took out from the space, not vegetable seeds.
Just transplant it directly.
The two children were excited at first, but eventually they ran to the swimming pool while playing.
Both of them can swim now, as long as there are adults around.
Deng Chen stood by and didn't let Ying Han do anything. He listened to Ying Han's instructions and planted the crops as he was told, getting his hands covered in mud.
"From now on, we can eat the vegetables we grow ourselves." Ying Han squatted on the ground, looked at their achievements, and said with a smile.
Deng Chen came back after washing his hands, pinched her cheek, and whispered in her ear, "Don't we eat the vegetables we grow every day?"
Ying Han chuckled. That's right. They had been here for such a long time, but apart from fresh vegetables and fruits that Ying Han had never seen before, they had never bought anything else.
Because everything is available in the space, the two children only know how to play and eat every day and never care about these things.
Sunday is a good time to travel.
Every household around here either travels by bicycle or by car, and they are rarely at home.
Ying Han and Deng Chen would also take the children out at this time. In addition to playing, the main purpose was to help the children adapt to the new environment and let them interact with more people. The language environment here was very helpful for them to learn the language.
They have been here for almost two months, and the whole family is working hard to learn the language.
Some simple shopping and asking for directions are no problem.
Ying Han feels that he can learn the language faster here.
Not only did the two children make friends, Ying Han also made friends with Laka and Meiyang.
Deng Chen said he has more friends at school.
Ying Han was puzzled as to why he had so many friends.
Deng Chen smiled and said, "They think I'm special as a Chinese, and they all take the initiative to greet me. Over time, they all know that I'm a married man with two children."
"Is that why?"
Deng Chen shook his head. "There were two times when I brought fruit to share with them, and they said my fruit was delicious. Whenever they saw me, they would ask, 'Did you bring any fruit today?'"
Ying Han laughed out loud, "So that's why. It seems our fruit is popular everywhere."
"After all, this is a special place."
Deng Chen said that he would invite them to his home for dinner after a while.
Ying Han nodded in agreement and said that she would bring her classmates over when the time came.
When Bai Yu and An An heard that they were going to invite their classmates, they also wanted to invite Ned to their house for dinner.
Ying Han agreed, and more than two months after school started, they both found their own playmates.
