Zheng Jianguo wanted to say that the little devil was not at this time, but considering that the Arai family was also a member of the São Paulo community, and it was not good for him to talk about others for the first time, he said this with a smile and said goodbye: "Mr. Hardison, Mrs. Hardison, I still have some work to do, so I won't talk to you, goodbye." ”

"I'm sorry, we're bothering you, you go get busy, we'll go back too. ”

Mary said with an apologetic look on her awakened face, Zheng Jianguo smiled at the disapproving Hardisson and turned around and went back to the house, but the deputy director of the Boston University Library failed to hang up the professor, this situation is rare in various universities, plus Boston University is located on the bank of the Charles River not far away, and the straight-line distance is probably no more than a kilometer, so it seems that this person still has some stories on him: "It's this Mrs. Hardison, I didn't expect to be an honorary member of the Rotary Club——"

The Rotary Club was founded in 1905, and the main theme of Zheng Jianguo's understanding is charity, and this is also the impression that ordinary people have of this social group, but most ordinary people do not know that this is a highly closed circle.

Members must be representative of their field in the region, and must possess irreproachable moral standards of others, and must be of good professional and moral conduct in order to be eligible to join the Society.

If unfortunately there are two or three people in the field, then you can only join until one of these two or three people dies or quits.

In terms of the founding purpose of the Rotary Club, the basic requirement is that only one association can exist in each city, which is approved and confirmed by the Rotary Club International, but it does not have any management authority.

With the development of the times, the emergence of megacities and the metropolitan area directly changed the requirements of Rotarians, so the requirements for the establishment of regional societies were quantified as population conditions, and cities and regions with a population of more than one million people could have two Rotary clubs coexist—which gave more elites the opportunity to self-recognize.

The reason why Zheng Jianguo was impressed by Mary was because the Rotary Club was forbidden to female members before 1980, and the vast majority of women became members of the Rotary Club as spouses.

However, this situation has changed significantly in the last two years, when a Rotary club in Los Angeles was disqualified by the head office for recruiting women, and the former subsequently sued and received support in a California court.

The latest news is that Rotary International has appealed to the Supreme Court, but Massachusetts is calm, and just by looking at the look on her face, you know that Mary should not have joined recently.

"I think about it all the time, I want more when the conditions are good, the status of a slave is gone, the right to vote is also in hand, and now I am tossing and asking for equal rights-"

Many thoughts turned in his mind, Zheng Jianguo also knew that what he was saying was nonsense that was not nonsense, of course, he also knew that the more well-known sentence of contentment and happiness in traditional culture was fooling people, for example, it was a living example when it was put on himself, at the beginning of 1977, he was huddled in the warm quilt and just wanted to be admitted to university, now?

"I didn't bring the telephone???

After returning to the floored living room, Zheng Jianguo wanted to update the embassy and his family on the news of the move, but he didn't expect to find only a telephone line interface but no shadow of the telephone, so he looked at the time of the electronic watch on his wrist, and remembered that there was still a grandfather clock and a lot of paintings at home: "There are telephones in supermarkets, and the grandfather clock is more troublesome——"

The design of Zheng Jianguo's house is more modern, this is not the modernization of 1980, but the simple style of his memory forty years later, leaving a large space on the wall of the house is to be added with various decorative paintings, of course, these paintings and furniture have to wait until Yang Na comes to buy, and now his task is still the telephone and the clock.

"And the power strips—"

Turning his eyes slightly, Zheng Jianguo found something to buy again, so he took out a small notebook and began to think about the things he used in the dormitory to write and draw, and when he made a list of things that he was anxious to buy, he found that there were a lot, so he locked the door and drove the car out of the garage, and went straight to the supermarket of the good brothers not far away, and after buying most of the small items on the list home, the time was already six o'clock in the evening.

"Just going out for dinner, and by the way, go to Chinatown to have a look-"

As an early settler for Chinese immigrants, Boston's Chinatown has grown over 110 years to become the heart of downtown, a few blocks from Boston Square.

Standing under the archway of the world, Zheng Jianguo stepped on the bright lights and entered the third largest Chinatown in the United States, if it weren't for the fact that most of the people on this street spoke English, he would have thought that he had arrived in the deep city in the nineties, and the streets were full of hot food stalls-

"Fried chicken shop?"

After walking a few steps, Zheng Jianguo was shocked by what he saw, three italicized characters were horizontal on the door less than two meters wide, and under these three words, Xing Chinese restaurant was written in English, and immediately looked left and right with curiosity, and then took a step to the door, stepping on the bell when pushing the door into the store.

The longitudinal thirty or forty square meters of the store was a little dim, and when Zheng Jianguo looked at the bar at the entrance, there was no one at the bar, and at this moment he saw a figure at the end of the seven or eight tables placed against the wall, and the guests who put the dishes in the middle table nodded and said something, and then trotted to him, and his voice was crisp: "Welcome, what do you want to eat?"

"Is your fried chicken here a fried chicken with green peppers?"

Zheng Jianguo raised the girl's dark face as he spoke, and a menu was posted on the wall behind the bar, but he didn't find what he was looking for, so he continued to say without losing his voice: "Sichuan cuisine or Shandong cuisine?"

"Xiao Chu, this is a distinguished guest, wait for it~"

Before Zheng Jianguo's words fell, an old voice came from the table where the girl had put down the dishes earlier, and the latter couldn't help but look back at the back and turned his head suspiciously: "You wait a minute, I'll ask-"

"Old man Liu's family is from Qi Province, so of course this restaurant is full of Lu cuisine, but if you want to try the spicy chicken in your hometown, then forget it, the chicken here is not good for chili peppers, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice——"

&-->>

nbsp; The Mandarin spoken in the old man's voice was a little stiff, but Zheng Jianguo and the girl named Xiao Chu in front of him heard it, which was recognized by others: "Well, when you say that, I want to taste the taste of this Yanglu cuisine." ”

"If you don't see Dr. Zheng, we are also destined today, how about sharing a table?"

After a few words of conversation, the two old men sitting at the table stood up with a smile, and Zheng Jianguo also saw that one was wearing a robe and a coat, and the other was wearing a suit, the one in the suit combed his hair meticulously, but the one in the robe had a ponytail tied directly with a rope behind his head.

At this time, the six eyes were facing each other, and Zheng Jianguo also found that in addition to the two of them dressed very differently, they both belonged to the standard national character face, that is, the old man in the suit had an extra mole on his eyebrows that destroyed the image, and the old man in the robe had a half-open single eyelid, and it was this one who spoke to him: "You two are also polite, let's follow the local customs AA system, right?"

"Okay, then follow the customs, Xiao Chu, and let your uncle fry a green pepper chicken, Dr. Zheng, come and sit~"

The old man in the robe said in a loud voice, Zheng Jianguo didn't know how he recognized himself, but he remembered that he didn't know how many times he had appeared on TV alone, and as for the newspaper, he didn't delve into it, but sat in the middle seat with a smile: "Old man, you recognize me, I don't know your name yet?"

"I can't hold it, I can't hold it, if you want to say that you have a high name, you have to find this Lang in China-"

Zheng Jianguo sat down, and the old man in the robe sat down side by side with him and said, Lang Zaihua on the other side glared at him with a slight change in his neck, and said in a slightly low voice: "Yang Lao Er, you can do it, when is this still talking about those who have it or not?" Doctor Zheng, I am Lang Zaihua, if you can afford me, just call me Lao Lang, if you look down on me, just bring the title is——"

"You old thing, I finally handed you a shelf and didn't go to it, Dr. Zheng, don't pay attention to him, he still can't get over the hurdle in his heart, call him Lao Lang, my name is Yang Zhen, you call me Lao Yang." ”

Yang Zhen, who was wearing a robe, said to the two of them one by one, and the girl who had already run to the back kitchen came out with an old man wearing an apron and a chef's hat, and when the three of them looked at each other, they saw Lang Zaihua raise his hand and said: "Lao Liu, come and see half of your fellow countrymen, you still say that you may not see it." ”

"Welcome, welcome, Dr. Zheng, you're coming—"

Liu Kaicai's face was slightly red, and he stretched out his hands and shook them with Zheng Jianguo, who couldn't help but be a little embarrassed by the old man's enthusiasm: "Boss Liu, it's too polite for you to say that-"

"You're welcome, you don't know how excited we were when we first saw your report, the people who came to eat were saying that you were really powerful, sit, sit down and say, Chu Qin, the chicken in the back should be fried, you go and bring it over-"

When Liu Kaicai took Chu Qin to the back kitchen, Lang Zaihua had already stood up and turned to Yang Zhen on the opposite side, and sat in his place after the latter raised his butt and sat inside, and was greeting at this time: "You two are welcome, let's just sit down and talk, you can eat some while you are not busy now, and it just so happens that we are also touching the light of Dr. Zheng——"

"You old thing, you stain other people's light every time, but today I'm happy, Dr. Zheng, you-"

Liu Kaicai sat in the position next to Zheng Jianguo and said, the latter was also rushed by the three old men and Dr. Zheng, so he hurriedly said: "Boss Liu, you still call me Jianguo, Doctor Zheng is the name of outsiders, and your hometown is Qi Province-"

"Okay, since Jianguo has spoken, we can't help but give him this face, then we will call you Xiao Zheng, and you will call us Lao Lang, Lao Yang, Lao Liu——"

Lang Zaihua waved his hand to stop what Zheng Jianguo was about to say, and after finishing himself, Liu Kaicai and Yang Zhen next to him also nodded in unison and said, "Okay, good-"

"My family is also from Shanxian County, Yuquan District, you should have heard of the Liu family's mansion, but I was still young when I came out, and now I have no impression of my family——"

Liu Kaicai said it more casually, but when it fell on Zheng Jianguo's ears, he was a little unbelievable and couldn't believe it: "The Liu family's compound is your ancestral property?"

"Yes, so that's why I'm so excited after I know about you, Shanxian is still a place where people are brilliant, but it depends on when the smart thing is, in that chaotic years, smart people don't end well-"

Before Liu Kaicai's words fell, Chu Qin next to him appeared, and after putting a full pot of spicy chicken on the table, the former stopped talking and said: "Fortunately, the world has changed now, come, Zheng, Xiao Zheng, hurry up and eat, taste the difference between my craftsmanship and those at home?"

"Yang-Lao Yang just said, of course, the fried chicken is different if the ingredients are different-"

Seeing that the three old men wanted to be close to him, Zheng Jianguo did not refuse bluntly by relying on his youth, on the contrary, because his psychological age was about the same as these three, he wanted to have a New Year's friendship with these three: "Of course, for conditional reasons, eating a fried chicken with green peppers at home is similar to this one, and it costs a lot of money——"

Zheng Jianguo looked at the menu when he entered the door, a chili fried chicken costs 5 US dollars, comparable to the 4 US dollars and 99 cents set meal in Kaifeng dishes and Burger King, of course, rice is not charged, this point he understood when he saw the menu What is the routine, Americans do not have staple food and non-staple food, and they don't like to eat rice.

As for the country, privately the chicken butt market is also sold at seven or eight cents a catty, if you look at the price index of the two countries, there is no difference between this spicy chicken alone.

"This plate - pot chicken is different from theirs, spicy chicken spicy chicken, if it is not spicy, can it be called spicy chicken? Just to let them eat less rice, I used green peppers with little spicy to fry them. ”

Seeing that talking about his professional field, Liu Kaicai did not hide it and directly lowered his voice and said it, and saw Zheng Jianguo pick up the chopsticks and then glanced at the wine cup in front of Lang Zaihua and Yang Zhen, and after blinking, he said to the two who were staring at him: "Xiao Zheng is still in school, don't let him drink." ”

"This, Lao Liu, I have graduated now, but I am still training in the hospital, so I won't drink this wine. ”

Seeing that a few people were hesitating to let themselves drink, Zheng Jianguo didn't use the car to cover up his refusal after thinking about it, but bluntly said: "Plus I came by car, we will have a chance to eat in the future - well, this chicken is good." ”
