The next week, Han Luo flew to Irnd along with Noah and Beth. It was her first time traveling to a European country other than Ennd and it made her excited enough to forget about her dancingpetition.


    Irnd is an ind in the North Antic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George''s Channel. Irnd is the secondrgest ind of the British Isles, the thirdrgest in Europe, and the twentiethrgest on Earth.


    They soon reached Dublin city, the capital city of Irnd. It is a peaceful and colorful city, and the girls saw how the buildings were painted with multiple colors. Outside the buildings were decorated with gs and hanging flower baskets. The scenery beside the River Liffey had an exquisite sight.


    They went to the railway station and County Kildare''s small vige Ballitore. Thendscape scenery of the evergreen County Kildare is iparable.


    Han Luo couldn''t keep her eyes from the window. She asked Beth, "How do you pronounce Kildare?"


    Beth replied, "We, Irish people say ''contae chill dara''. It is named after the town of Kildare. We are heading to Ballitore – the vige where I was born."


    "That''s wonderful! I''m already in love with your country!" Han Luo was excited.


    When they reached their destination, it was already lunch time. A red tractor was waiting for them. A young man was sitting on the tractor. Beth waved her hand. "Sean!"


    The man looked at Beth and waved his hand. He came down and walked towards them. "Beth, you''ve grown taller!" He had slightly tanned skin and red hair. He was a charming guy with a friendly attitude.


    "I''ve missed you!" Beth left her backpack and hugged him.


    Sean hugged her as well and then looked behind her. "Is this the friend you were talking about?"


    They were speaking in the Irishnguage, also known as Gaeilge. Han Luo and Noah couldn''t understand them.


    Beth let go of him and proimed, "Yes, let me introduce you. She is Luo Han from China. We are in the same ss."


    Sean reached out his hand and said, "Hello Miss Luo, I''m Sean, a farmer under Beth''s grandparents. Wee to our country." This time, he spoke English.


    "Hello Sean, thank you having us. Please call me Luo." Han Luo shook her hand with him.


    "Wow! Your English pronunciation is excellent." Sean couldn''t help but praise.


    "Thank you! And, this is my butler, Noah." Han Luo introduced him to Noah.


    After the greeting, they went to the tractor and Sean started the engine. Sean told Han Luo, "I''ve heard a lot of things about you from Beth."


    "Oh, really? What did she say?" Han Luo became curious.


    Sean answered, "She said that she had a crush on your cousin and his friends."


    Han Luo burst intoughter. Bethined, "What''s there tough about? They are hot and I''m a girl."


    Han Luo stoppedughing and said, "There is nothing wrong. I just don''t realize why my silly cousin is so popr."


    Beth replied, "Because of his body and character of course! He looks so loyal. Any girl would be happy to have a partner like that."


    "Ah, yes, that''s true. He has a big, pure heart. I want to have a perfect sister-inw for him." Han Luo said.


    "Can I be your sister-inw?" Beth requested with sparkling eyes.


    "You have to bribe me with your delicious cooking." Han Luo winked at her knowing that her friend was joking.


    "Damn it! Luo, I shouldn''t have brought you with me. You are no good." Beth didn''t know how to cook yet Han Luo knew it very well.


    They burst intoughter, loud enough to be heard from afar.


    After a while Han Luo looked around. "Why is the road never ending?"


    "Heh, it''s just the beginning." Beth smirked. She pointed at both sides and dered, "You see the vegetable farm on both sides of the road? It''s ours. We have thergest organic farm in our vige."


    Han Luo eximed, "Wow! Beth, I didn''t know you are rich!"


    Beth exined, "I''m not rich. My grandfather is. I did nothing about this farm. I heard my grandfather''s great-grandfather boughtnds around here after saving quite the sum of money. And from generations they are growing vegetables. We have fruit gardens too. I''ll show you around after we reach there."


    Finally, they reached the house. The house was pretty smallpared to the huge farm. They were warmly weed by Beth''s grandmother, Linda McCarthy. After the introduction, they went inside and met Beth''s grandfather, Timothy O''Connor. He was a quiet person but still talked to Han Luo and Noah.


    Han Luo and Noah went to the guestrooms and freshened up. When they came down, they saw that Granny Linda prepared raspberry pie for them. They ate in delight and kept praising Linda''s cooking.


    Beth suddenly asked, "Granny, do you still have the video tapes of your dancing? Luo is participating in a dancepetition next month and I would like to show her these video tapes."


    Granny Linda smiled. "I knew she danced the moment Iid my eyes on her. Her body is shaped for ballet. Am I right Luo?"


    "You are right, granny." Han Luo couldn''t help but smile.


    Granny Linda said, "Though I don''t dance professionally now, if you need any help, ask me any time. I can still show you some dance moves."


    "Granny, can you still dance?!" Beth blinked several times.


    Granny Linda proudly proimed, "Who do you think I am? Don''t underestimate your granny. Although I''ve aged, my body is still young. Do you know that I''ve charmed your grandfather with my dancing moves?"


    Grandpa Timothy interjected, "Is that so? I don''t think that''s how it happened. I clearly remember that you fell for my vegetables first."


    Granny Linda frowned. "What did you say? It was obviously you who came to me after I won the prize in a dancingpetition!"


    The two of them continued bickering and until the end, Han Luo, Beth, and Noah couldn''t catch who was lying and who was telling the truth.
