Chapter 595 Poor Relatives
A few people found a small restaurant together. In fact, besides hamburgers and hot dogs, there are also other things to eat in the United States. For example, salad cheese with various vegetables and fruits.
If you don’t eat it often, it feels good to eat it for the first time, especially now that it’s summer. There are many more varieties of cold drinks and desserts here than in China.
Several people ordered a lot of things and Wu Xue rushed to pay, which made He Qiuju and Xue Wei look at Yang Dongxu strangely.
Naturally, he didn't care at all about such looks, and he took more bites than the others and ate them sweetly, which made several people look at Yang Dongxu with even more disdain.
I originally thought he was a rich man from the mainland. After all, going abroad at this time is not something ordinary people can do. Who would have thought that a poor man would come here and eat like a country bumpkin who had been fed for eight lifetimes? The plane ticket when he came here was probably paid for by his family.
What made Xue Wei even more crazy was that when facing this poor relative who had no idea of his relationship, Wu Xue served him like a little girl, rushing to pay the bill, serving tea and water during meals, and even had a smear on the corner of his mouth. They help each other wipe the cream.
"Were the air tickets expensive when we came?" After Wu Xue asked Yang Dongxu if he had eaten enough, he asked for a burger again. Wu Xue helped to get it. Xue Wei couldn't help it anymore, with a condescending sense of superiority. Asked.
"It's quite expensive, but the flight time is so long. It should be more expensive." Yang Dongxu lowered his head and took a sip of Coke and said.
He Qiuju and the others were even more speechless. It turned out that the brain circuits of those who came from the countryside were different from others. They actually felt that the flight took a long time and the air tickets were expensive. The money spent was worth it. You shouldn't think that the flight was too long. Are you uncomfortable?
"Have you never eaten these things in China?" Xue Wei continued to ask disdainfully.
"Well, I haven't eaten it before." Yang Dongxu nodded. Although many foreign companies have entered the country now, compared with later generations, KFC, McDonald's and the like are naturally not so ubiquitous. This was really the first time he ate a burger after his rebirth.
"Would you like to pack two of them and take them home?" He Qiuju didn't know what to say for a while.
I originally thought that Yang Dongxu was quite tall and handsome, with a good temperament, and his family background in China was pretty good. After all, he bought a plane ticket to come to the United States to see Wu Xue. Who would have thought that he was just a country bumpkin.
"The chicken legs taste good. Let Wu Xue pack two of them back later. I just saw that there is a kitchen where he lives. If you are hungry at night, you can heat them up for a late-night snack." Yang Dongxu seemed to think this idea was a good idea and nodded.
The disdain on the faces of several people was even worse. They had seen such shamelessness. I have never seen such a shameless person, even if I don’t pay for food, I still have to take a bag back for a midnight snack.
But these people never thought that they were not paid for food, and compared to their simple relationship as classmates, Yang Dongxu seemed to have a closer relationship with Wu Xue.
"How many days can you stay here? I'll accompany you everywhere." Wu Xue helped Yang Dongxu get a hamburger while holding a bag in his hand: "Seeing that you like chicken legs, I packed two for you. Eat at home tonight.”
This made Xue Wei and others even more jealous. They had never seen Wu Xue be so considerate. Although Wu Xue is usually kind, he is also very stubborn. Otherwise, while everyone is enjoying domestic subsidies, she uses her spare time to work and rent her own house. What's more important is that they have never seen Wu Xue treat that man so well.
You must know that gentle ladies and gentlemen are very charming. There are many more boys than girls who come to study abroad. Wu Xue, who has become more and more generous in the past two years, is pursued by many people, including some Chinese-American students, but she rejects them no matter who they are. Today, they were too kind to a country bumpkin, which they couldn't accept in their hearts.
"Two or three days, I still have things to do at home, and the things coming out this time are quite long. Don't you have any work these two days?" Yang Dongxu took the burger and took a bite.
"The part-time job I do is in the morning and evening. I don't have much to do during the day." Wu Xue said.
He has two part-time jobs, one as a morning waiter at a breakfast bar. One is selling milk tea at a milk tea shop at night, both near the school.
Originally, he found a longer job during the summer vacation, working as a cashier in a supermarket. But because the boss found a long-term and stable employee last week, he settled her salary and resigned.
"Isn't it unsafe to work at night?" Although there is nothing wrong with a milk tea shop, the security of the United States is not that safe if it is too late, even if this is a school area.
"It's okay. The milk tea shop is right next to where I live. The shop is opened by my landlord. We went back together after closing time." Wu Xue said with a smile.
Yang Dongxu nodded, and it was basically no problem. He also understood Wu Xue's persistence. So he didn't feel anything bad about Wu Xue working part-time. As long as you don't delay your studies and can support yourself and exercise your abilities earlier, it will be easier than just knowing how to study.
"It's getting late now, don't you want to go to work today?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"No, I just told the landlord's daughter to ask for leave for me when I went out."
Yang Dongxu nodded without saying anything, and several people finished eating and walked out of the shop. Card proposed to go to the bar for a drink. Xue Wei and others agreed, but Wu Xue refused with a smile.
Although many bars in the United States are quite formal, unlike in China, where people think they are places of filth and corruption. But there are many nightclubs in the United States, so Wu Xue never goes to nightclubs, and even bars.
To be precise, her life is very monotonous, and even a bit boring in the eyes of many people. In addition to studying, she has to work part-time, and there is not much time for entertainment. This is a bit incredible in the eyes of American classmates, and gradually many international students who are trying to integrate into American life also find it incredible.
If you don't go to bars or nightclubs, American nightlife is actually quite boring. So after separating from a few people, they continued to listen to Wu Xue talk about her life abroad and went back to where she lived.
Yang Dongxu originally wanted to stay in a hotel. After all, no matter how good the relationship between the two is, there are still differences between men and women. They are adults and need to pay attention. Wu Xue didn't agree and said that she would sleep with the landlord's daughter at night and let Yang Dongxu sleep in her room. There was no need to stay in a hotel and waste money.
She knew that Yang Dongxu was rich, but he had no reason to refuse this kind of character that didn't waste money. So she didn't refuse again. On the way back, Wu Xue bought some small desserts and took them back.
This is not for the night snack, but for the landlord and her daughter. Yang Dongxu has to stay at home for a few days, so he has to apologize. Of course, if the landlord's family can get used to Chinese food, Wu Xue doesn't mind taking two large boxes of food to share with them.
"You will graduate next year, right? Are you going to continue your studies or find a job after graduation?" Sitting on Wu Xue's bed, Yang Dongxu flipped through a few books out of boredom and asked when he saw Wu Xue coming back from the landlord's daughter's room after giving her a gift.
"I don't want to go to school anymore." Wu Xue sat on the floor and pulled out another bag of snacks from the box. She couldn't eat enough of the taste of her hometown, even though her stomach was a little full.
"What's the matter?" Yang Dongxu didn't expect Wu Xue to give such a positive answer.
"The more I learn, the more ignorant I feel. It's true that our ancestors said that learning is endless, so I want to work directly after graduation. If there is anything I want to learn, I will continue to learn if I have free time after work." If her family conditions could be better, she might choose to continue her studies.
But she has been in college for four years. Although she has received government subsidies and her family has not contributed much, and she can even send some money home by working part-time, she still feels that it is better to find a job after graduation. The country has supported her for four years, so it is better to give back as soon as possible.
"Have you thought about what to do?" Wu Xue's answer was unexpected, but also reasonable. After all, she is the kind of girl who would rather be tired than cause trouble to others.
"I don't know, it depends on the country's arrangement. The biggest possibility is to go to college to teach." She obviously knows a rough idea of her future work.
Although the country has abolished the system of guaranteed job assignments in universities this year, some college students still continue to be guaranteed jobs. Not to mention Wu Xue, an excellent student with both good character and academic performance.
The country supports international students to study abroad in two parts, one is to learn various advanced technologies, and the other is to learn various advanced knowledge. The former is basically locked into a research laboratory, and the latter will enter a state-owned enterprise or teach in a university.
"Do you have a university you want to go to? If you do, I have a good relationship with the Education Bureau and I can help you."
"No need." Wu Xue shook her head, then she smiled and said, "If you continue to study, help me arrange for you to go to Hangzhou University. I will be your teacher then."
"Why, you want to be a graduate teacher right after graduating from college? You don't have enough experience." Yang Dongxu said with a smile when he saw Wu Xue's cute look.
"You underestimate me." Wu Xue wrinkled her nose and snorted, "I will definitely get the title in the shortest time. When I want to teach graduate students, I will only pick those I like. Be careful that I won't teach you when you want me to."
"Yes, yes, Teacher Wu Xue is so great. She basically gets full marks in all subjects." Yang Dongxu raised his hands in surrender, looking very respectful.
Although many people in later generations have commented that many Chinese students studying abroad are high-scoring but low-ability, you don't admit that Chinese people have strong learning abilities. And although Wu Xue has no actual teaching experience, she is definitely not "low-ability".
After returning, she got her degree certificate with her academic qualifications from studying abroad. As long as she practices for a period of time, it won't be a big problem for her to get the title of associate professor with her ability.
"That's good to know. Even if I don't take you with me, I'll still be your teacher. If you dare not listen to me, I'll make you stand on the playground as punishment." Wu Xue bent her waist and put on a teacher's posture.
Then she seemed to think of the scene of Yang Dongxu standing on the playground as punishment because he was wronged but didn't dare to resist, and she chuckled.
The two chatted until after eleven o'clock, when Wu Xue went to sleep at the landlord's daughter's place. Yang Dongxu went to the bathroom to wash up and just lay down to sleep when he heard a clang outside, as if someone kicked the door open.
