Chapter 8 Some of the past should never be mentioned again

Some people never want to see each other again after separation, and some people never want to talk about the past after they have experienced it! But the world is always so wonderful, and the more you want to forget something, the more someone will force you to remember.

And those people are especially fond of being complacent about witnessing the most down-and-out of you, and they even pretend to be casual and poke at the point where you have forced yourself to forget, until they see your old disease oozing blood, and if they don't, they will stomp away willingly.

Li Manrui looked back and forth in the direction pointed by the driver for a while, only to see a very narrow façade, and the door number said XX Northern Famous Food. When I walked in and looked, it was an ordinary takeaway restaurant, with a few small tables in it, and there were quite a few customers, although it was past lunch time, there were still four or five people queuing.

Li Manrui looked up at the menu posted on the wall, and found the meat bun and cold skin that her son wanted.

It's midsummer now, although Li Manrui came by taxi, but after looking for the store for a while, she sweated finely, and then looked at the stuffy in this small shop, I really can't understand that on such a hot day, there are people queuing up here to eat a meat bun!

Li Manrui himself is a southerner, in order to study only went to City B, although he has been in City B for more than ten years, but he has never been used to eating pasta, but his son likes it, he has not been by his side for so many years, and every time he wants to cook something delicious for him, he always has no tricks because he is not good at cooking. It's rare to come to Chinatown this time to buy him a once, and I feel a little relieved when I think about it.

"What's next, what's the point?" quickly lined up Li Manrui, and the cashier asked while taking a pen and paper to write a list.

"Two meat buns, oh no, four meat buns, another cold skin, take it away~" Li Manrui thought that her son would eat it once, so she would buy a few more.

After buying the meat bun and cold skin, Li Manrui bought some bread in the bakery next to her, and chose a soft and delicious one and put it in her bag, from morning to now, she has not eaten a drop of water, and now her body does not allow her to have any mistakes, thinking that when she gets to the hospital later, she will find an excuse to go out to eat, and when she came out, she saw a small garden next to the hospital.

Holding a large bag and a small bag in her hand, Li Manrui walked cautiously, afraid that the juice of the meat bun would flow to her bag, no matter how careful she walked by herself, there was no way to avoid others walking without looking at the road, a middle-aged woman walked and turned around, bumped into her, she stared round, and was about to get angry at her, when she saw a face that she didn't plan to see again in her life and didn't want to see again.

"Oh, isn't this Marry? I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect to meet you here!" said the middle-aged woman with a look of surprise on her face.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't seem to know you!" Li Manrui pretended not to know the woman in front of her, and even forgot to scold the other party for not having a long eye, and opened her legs to leave as soon as possible, but who would have thought that the woman reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Oh, you won't remember me, will you? We worked together in a massage parlor back then, and I'm Sister Sun!" The woman's exaggerated voice sounded again, causing many passers-by to look sideways.

The corners of Li Manrui's mouth pulled out a faint arc, and she smiled reluctantly: "Oh, it turned out to be Sister Sun!

"But isn't it?, we really haven't seen each other for a long time, let's find a place to sit and catch up, I haven't seen you for so many years, you look a lot different!" said Sister Sun, while pointing to Li Manrui's customized suit exaggeratedly and exclaiming.

"I'm sorry, I still have something to do, next time!" Li Manrui said coldly.

"Oh, take a look, it's different if you haven't seen you for a few years, I remember that you married an old man in his 70s for your identity, and the women in the store don't know how much to envy you, looking at your clothes, you must be rich, right?" Sister Sun said in a weird manner, and squeezed her eyes at Li Manrui.

"It's okay, I'm lucky, the old man died a long time ago, and he left a large inheritance for me!" Li Manrui lazily circled with this woman again, blinked her eyelids, and pulled the corners of her mouth as if showing off.

"Oh, then you are so lucky!" Listening to Li Manrui's words, the corners of Sister Sun's mouth twitched, she couldn't pretend to be enthusiastic anymore, and walked away with a sour face.

Li Manrui watched that annoying old woman walk away, and a smile of victory rose on the corner of her mouth! This is the inferior nature of overseas Chinese compatriots, and if you mix well, they will be jealous of you, and if you are mixed, they will ridicule and laugh at you! How could Li Manrui give her the opportunity to laugh at her? Not to mention that she is far from being the kind of person she can laugh at!

Li Manrui has been in the United States for 8 years, when she first came here, she had no money and no identity, she wanted to go to a restaurant as a waiter, and she didn't want to leave New York, a metropolis full of possibilities, so she had no choice but to meet a massage parlor through a fellow villager.

Before she went, although she also thought that the work would definitely not be as simple as it appeared on the surface, she was still scared to get out of the door when she really saw the filth inside.

I think she is a top student of a famous foreign language college in China, but she went to the United States to go to massage because of her identity. I don't know how many thousands of times more aggrieved than when I was arranged to be idle in the administrative department.

At that time, she secretly decided that she must solve the problem of identity as soon as possible no matter what, and then use her advantages to find a decent job and show people in China a personal appearance!

That's when she met the man who could give her an identity, an Italian immigrant in his 70s, whose wife had died a few years earlier, and who was living alone by renting out two houses in the East Bronx.

The elderly pay attention to maintenance and enjoyment, and will go to the massage parlor in Flushing every once in a while to enjoy a 45-minute massage.

Although the old man has been living in the United States for decades, because Europeans are not very aware of tipping, he is more calculating when he tips, sometimes less than 15%, so there are fewer employees willing to receive him. And Li Manrui is new, so this kind of hard but low-income work is naturally pushed to her.

Li Manrui didn't have any thoughts at first, she just wanted to do her best to finish her things, and her mind was relatively peaceful. The old man usually had no one to chat with at home alone, so while massaging, he chatted with Li Manrui.

There are not many people who can speak English in this industry, and they can speak only a little bit, the old man has never seen such a good English as Li Manrui, so the more he talks, the more speculative he becomes, and he only comes once a week or two, but gradually becomes once every three or five days.

One day the old man came to Li Manrui again, and Li Manrui was arguing with the boss because he was unwilling to serve an excessive guest, so when he was massaging the old man next, he explained his distress to the old man and asked the old man if he could help her.

The old man listened to Li Manrui's words, was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "I have a way, but I don't know if it will offend you!"

"If you have any ideas, just help me change my current situation. Li Manrui's heart was beating fast at that time, and she had a hunch that the old man's next words should be able to change her situation, and even completely change her life!
