Chapter 402 Icelandic father and son
It is very easy to find a job in Iceland. They don’t pay much attention to academic qualifications. As long as you have previous experience in this job, you can find a job in Iceland, and the benefits are not bad.

Jack's career as a tour guide only works one day a week.

One day of work and six days off, and no physical work is required at all. Where can I find this kind of tour guide work?At least Ye Kai has never heard of such an outrageous company. Is this the Nordic welfare system?Love love love.

The trip was to Ulflioswa, 45 kilometers away from Reykjavik, where Jack lived with his wife and family.

Jack said: "My father-in-law used to be a dealer. After he got tired of the city life, he came to this small town and lived a life he had always envied."

Ye Kai asked with a smile when he heard the words: "After I came to Iceland, I heard that you are tired of city life every day. Are you so tired? The people in my family can't wait to move their family to a big city."

"Isn't it the same where you live?" Jack asked rhetorically.

"It's more convenient in the city." Ye Kai said, "Now China's towns and cities are very different. Most of the first-tier cities have reached the level of developed countries, but more places even have mediocre education."

Ye Kai has been to the town.I have also been to Hope Primary School.

The educational environment and teaching level of the school are very poor, but it is much better in the city. If there are two children with the same IQ, EQ and personality, one goes to school in the city and the other goes to school in a small town.

The final results may be two extremes, one can be admitted to a prestigious school, and the other may not be admitted to a university.

Otherwise, why do current parents buy school district houses?Even willing to kneel down for a school district room?It is because of children's educational resources that parents see this issue more thoroughly than anyone else.

Jack shrugged, not quite understanding.

Ye Kai didn't say much, and the 45 kilometers ended soon, and Jack parked the car on the side of the road.After getting off the car, he pointed to a small road and said, "From here, you will reach the valley, and the sheep are all driven here."

At this time, a man rode a tricycle and drove a group of sheep down the road. He obviously knew Jack, and he greeted Jack loudly with a smile on his face:
"Jack, are you back? Remember to come to the club that night..."

Jack replied, "No problem."

Uphill.

This is a volcanic valley. It is foreseeable that this valley must have been a huge volcano hundreds or thousands of years ago, and the current scene was formed after the eruption.

There are a lot of sheep and horses in the middle depression, but no cattle.

Icelanders don't raise cattle, and Ye Kai doesn't know whether it's because they don't like to eat or because cattle can't survive in such an environment. In short, the price of beef in Iceland is very expensive.

Icelandic farmers mostly raise sheep and horses, which are also the two most mainstream meat foods in Iceland.

The status of sheep in Iceland is still very high.

They belong to a relatively pure Nordic variety, which is hardy and can adapt well to the harsh natural conditions here.Therefore, the Icelanders also grazed this kind of sheep in the wild in the winter in ancient times.

Icelandic sheep provided the ancestors of Iceland with mutton and goat milk as winter food. In addition, wool was also used to make clothing to resist the cold.It can be said that sheep are one of the key factors for Icelanders to survive in the harsh natural environment in the past.

The Sheep Festival has been around for hundreds of years and is one of the oldest traditions in Iceland. It is a unique way for farmers to celebrate the harvest.

Ye Kaixin thought, maybe it is the same reason as the Chinese farmers celebrate after the autumn harvest?After all, the land here is not suitable for farming, and the source of food is these meats, so it is normal to celebrate the harvest.

There are sheep everywhere and people everywhere.

Old people, adults, children.Old sheep, middle-aged sheep, young sheep... Seen from a high place, there are so many densely packed sheep. People who are afraid would probably not take a second look. Ye Kai guessed that there are a total of one or two thousand sheep here.

Besides that there are horses.

Jack said to Ye Kai: "You can play here casually. I'm going to find our sheep. It will take more than an hour. I'll call you when I'm done?"

"Okay, you can do your own work first."

Ye Kai also just wanted to take a look here, one hour might not be enough.

In the crowd, some naughty children straddled the sheep’s backs, playing around, and helping their parents to identify the sheep in their family...It turns out that every farmer has marked the ears of his own sheep. Now only need Find these sheep by marking them.

But Ye Kai is still very strange, don't these sheep hide?
I want to ask Jack, but Jack has gone far away now, and he is shuttling around in the crowd, so Ye Kai stopped a man who brought his son and found his sheep and was about to go home.

"Hi, hello, can I ask a question?"

The little boy said, "What's your problem?"

His father said: "If there is anything that can help you, please just say it."

"How did the sheep here be found? Did all the sheep from the whole country gather here, or did it mean that only the sheep from this nearby farm were driven to this place?"

"The whole country? Haha, of course it's impossible!" The man laughed loudly, "It would be too many sheep from all over the country to be put in one place. There are only these sheep in this valley, and they are all from nearby farms. Find it a few more times."

"We started looking for sheep a week ago. Every one of our family was looking for them. When we found them, we drove them here. Whether they were alone or in groups, we found them no matter how deeply we hid them in a week.

I get it.

"Then they won't run far?"

"They can't run far. They will always stay in one area. If the animals don't need to migrate, they won't leave their homes too far, so we just look for them in this valley."

The man's name is Luo Tedong. He has another job, but he and his children run a small farm for the fun of nature. They have about [-] sheep.

Luo Tedong was very proud, touching his child's head and said: "My son is only nine years old, but he takes care of these sheep most of the time."

"Wow, that's really impressive."

What can an eight year old do?Ye Kai felt that many eight-year-olds were waving sticks and shouting, "I'm Monkey King, right?"No, kids nowadays don't like Sun Wukong anymore.

In short, eight years old is still naive, the age to play around, it is rare to be able to do such a big thing.

"Can I take a photo for you?" Ye Kai asked.

Luo Tedong replied heartily: "Of course."

So, with a large flock of sheep and shepherds in the background, Ye Kai captured the smiling faces of their two fathers. Luo Tedong was wearing an Icelandic-style sweater and a wool cap, and he was touching his child's head and grinning, showing his white teeth. .

His child was a little shy, wearing a dark blue down jacket, he lowered his head slightly as his father touched his head, but looked at Ye Kai curiously.

　If you don't pay attention, there are more than 400 chapters. Are you all still there? Let's make a card.
