Chapter 1191 Conflict of Ideas
The luxurious Cadillac stopped in front of a dilapidated building. My aunt did not leave her seat, but turned her head and said to them, "Considering the economic situation when you first came here, the rent here is relatively cheap."
As she spoke, she took out an envelope from her branded wallet, "This is five hundred dollars, and my phone number, please accept it, you're welcome!"
Guo Yan took the envelope, got out of the car tremblingly, and approached the house whose walls had been scrawled with unsightly paintings.
"We," Guo Yan asked, as if asking Shen Long, but also asking himself, "living here?"
"No!" My aunt leaned out her upper body from the car window and said to them, "These floors are too expensive. I reserved the basement for you. The rent deposit is 400 yuan, plus the 500 yuan I lent you today. Yuan, the total is 900 yuan, my uncle and I have something to do tomorrow morning, if you have any difficulties, please call at 8:30 tomorrow night!"
After the aunt reported the itemized account to them, she moved the car and left here. Guo Yan looked at Shen Long and didn't know what to do. This was completely different from what she had imagined.
"Let's go in," Shen Long suggested after standing for a while.
"You go ahead!" Guo Yan looked at the dark building door in fear. The building was extremely dark, and the dim starlight not only did not bring light, but added a bit of ghostly air. Shen Long pushed open the door in the basement. The door, the door groaned. An indescribable smell came over me. The new 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest. Computer side:
Guo Yan coughed twice, Shen Long turned on the small yellow lamp, an empty wooden fruit box used in supermarkets, two chairs without backs, and a dirty double bed Pads - This is all furniture.
Guo Yan walked to the empty wooden box in a daze, and sat down slowly, resting her chin in both hands, while Shen Long went to check the room. There was a small suite inside, and there was a big kitchen in the suite. The gas stove is quite hot, a large refrigerator taller than one person is not broken, and it can be used. There is a bathroom next to the kitchen. When the faucet is turned on: hot water!
Not bad, at least the starting conditions are better than those in "Blood Romance" and "Ordinary World", and Shen Long also believes that they can leave here in a month at most and live in a better place.
"How could my aunt do this? Their family obviously has such a big house, but they still throw us here! This place is like America, it's like New York, it's not even as good as our house in Beijing!" Guo Yan was full of anger after waking up. The prisoner described the United States as a paradise in the letter to her, and the letter also contained photos of her mansion, a three-story single-family villa with a garden and a swimming pool.
On the plane to the United States, Guo Yan always dreamed that she could live here. Who knew that her aunt would send them directly to such a ghostly place without even arranging a meal, which made her full of grievances.
"Hey, let's be content. If there is no relationship with my aunt, the visa officer will let us pass, and we can come to the United States." Shen Long sat down and patted her on the shoulder to comfort him. He could understand Guo Yan very well. Aunt's practice.
"No, I'm her niece. I came to the United States a long way away, and she dumped me in this kind of place?" Guo Yan couldn't help shivering when she recalled the homeless people and prostitutes outside. The place is too dangerous, right?
"Maybe this is the United States! After all, it is a capitalist country, and the relationship between people is very indifferent. Isn't it written in the book that when the children in the United States reach the age of eighteen, the parents don't care, let alone the niece!" Of course, this is just a rumor. Parents in the United States also need to worry about their children. It's just that saying this can make Guo Yan feel better.
"When relatives from other places come to our house,
Aren't you too annoyed? "Shen Long continued to comfort, Wang Qiming and Guo Yan's house in Beijing is only 40 square meters, it is already very crowded to live in them and their daughter Ningning, once guests come, Ningning has to go Sleeping with Guo Yan, Wang Qiming went to squeeze with the guests.
For this reason, Guo Yan lost her temper and said several times that she would never take in relatives and friends at home again. But now that she is in the United States, it is her turn to enjoy this kind of treatment, but Guo Yan can't accept it.
"That's different. Our house has a bigger buttocks, so we can live in it? My aunt's house is only three floors, and she can spare us a house wherever I want!" Guo Yan still couldn't figure it out.
"No matter how big the place is, it's someone else's home. My aunt must feel awkward when we suddenly sneak in; and we haven't settled down in the United States yet. If we stay here forever, the trouble will be even more unpleasant if my aunt chases us away. It's better to be together. They didn’t let us live in the first place!” In fact, this is not just a cultural difference between China and the United States, but also a difference in economic development.
When Shen Long was a child, relatives from the countryside came to the county and often lived in their house, and Shen Long also felt very uncomfortable; but when he went back these years, this situation has lessened.
Firstly, many relatives from the countryside have moved to the city and have their own houses in the county; secondly, the financial conditions of everyone are well-off now, and there are more hotels and restaurants, and you can live here at any cost. , why go to other people's house to find uncomfortable? It is true that the host is uncomfortable living in another house, but the guests are even more uncomfortable.
"Besides, I reckon that the letter from Auntie Guo Yan is just a selection, saying that if we pass by, your uncle will definitely be unhappy." Concerned about the age gap between Aunt Guo Yan and uncle, Shen Long estimated that Auntie Guoyan was at home. I'm afraid the status is not high, and my uncle has the final say on everything. If the two of them pass by, it may affect the relationship between Aunt Guo Yan and uncle.
"Hey, I thought the United States was a paradise, but as soon as I got off the plane, I was hit in the face." After being depressed for a while, Guo Yan also recovered, but a new problem was posed in front of them. Guo Yan asked, "Go on?" What shall we do when we come down? I guess my aunt won’t be willing to help with finding a job.”
"The first thing to do next is to eat. After flying in the sky for so long, the food on the plane that can only be used to feed the birds is enough! I still have a pack of instant noodles in my backpack. I will eat it for you next time. You can wash it first." Take a bath!" Shen Long was very calm, he was so familiar with New York, it was like coming home here, how could he starve to death?
Although it was just a pack of instant noodles, Guo Yan, who had been hungry for a long time, ate very satisfied. After eating, the two of them lay on the bed, and Guo Yan talked about the future again, "Qiming, you said that we can't even speak a few words in English, How do you find a job?"
"Don't worry, let's go to New York tomorrow first, and then slowly think about finding a job!" Shen Long said, anyway, he didn't plan to go to a restaurant to work for others.
