319 Five Good Families
Recommended song: Coldplay---viva. la. vida
After dinner, Lee Joon-yi and Lynch went to the Empire State Building for a stroll, although it was a bit cliché, but as a first-time visitor to New York, Lee Joon-yi felt that it was better to go and see it. Lynch has been in New York for more than ten years, and he has only been there once, and this time he went to see it with Li Zhunyi, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.
In the evening, the two of them went to the bar and sat down until they went back, Lynch had his own apartment in New York, fortunately, Li Chenxi had a good vision, and he used Lin Xuan's mouth many years ago to persuade Lynch to buy a house of his own, otherwise with the current house price, he couldn't afford it at all. As for the mortgage, Lynch paid it off earlier this year, and he can be regarded as having his own nest in New York.
Take a shower, chat, and the two of them tossed to... Multi-only sleep. When Li Zhunyi woke up in the morning, it was already past nine o'clock, and Lynch had already gone to work. Just left milk and baked toast on the table, as well as the keys to the house.
In the next two days, Lee Joon-yi and Lynch could only meet for dinner, but Lee Joon-yi was also very happy to walk around New York alone, and Lee Joon-yi seemed unhurried compared to the hurried steps of the people around him. Walking around this busy city is also a special taste.
Lynch's nest is located on the Upper East Side of New York, strolling out of Lynch's small suite, not far from Central Park, Li Zhunyi only then knew that the so-called Upper East Side of New York is divided by Central Park as the center. Central Park is located in the middle of Manhattan, and Fifth Avenue is located east of Central Park, from where you can walk east to the Upper East Side. It is also known as the upper class area, the rich area, and is known as the place where human beings turn wisdom into wealth.
The cost of land here also highlights Lynch's generous remuneration for all these years of hard work, and considering that "Gossip Girl" tells the story of a wealthy man in the heart of New York, it's no wonder that it has attracted so much attention.
When Lee Joon-yi was walking around here, he also happened to meet the filming crew of "Gossip Girl" and saw Blake Lively dressed up, but because she was filming, Lee Joon-yi didn't come forward to bother, but just watched the operation of American TV dramas for a while, which is slightly different from South Korea, but the essence of acting is always the same. When leaving, Li Zhunyi also took a photo of Blake Lively from the side with his mobile phone and sent it to her, with the following postscript, "Sure enough, it's a big beauty." ”
About 20 minutes after Lee Joon-yi left, Blake Lively saw the text message and couldn't help but sigh.
It's almost impossible to get around New York in three days, and you still have to stay here for a while to get a feel for the city. However, Li Zhunyi did not have this plan, and with his bags on his back, Li Zhunyi stepped on a plane to sunny California on the West Coast. Lynch didn't come to see off the plane because of work, but Christmas is coming soon, and we will be able to meet soon, so it's okay.
Flying from coast to coast, the weather was noticeably clearer. California is known as a place where there is no winter, and it is a great place for many Americans to go on winter vacations.
Lee got off the plane in San Francisco and stayed there for another night before hopping on an intercity bus to Berkeley the next day. California is worthy of being a picturesque bay area, and the beautiful sea scenery along the way makes Lee Joon-yi sigh.
When it comes to Berkeley, almost everyone thinks of the University of Berkeley, the University of California, Berkeley, which is world-famous for having the largest number of top majors in the United States. Li Chaoyang is teaching in this school, when he received the invitation from Berkeley University, Li Chaoyang was very excited, plus Li Zhunyi had already gone to South Korea as a trainee, without too much worry, Li Chaoyang took Lin Xuan and his wife to the sunny West Coast together.
When he came to Berkeley, Li Zhunyi only asked passers-by once according to the address Lin Xuan gave him, and he got very clear instructions, and easily found the small villa. When they first came to Berkeley, Li Chaoyang and Lin Xuan lived in the professor's dormitory arranged by the university, but it was still inconvenient after all. At Li Chenxi's suggestion, the two of them bought the villa in installments, although the mortgage has not been paid yet, but Li Chaoyang's salary, plus Lin Xuan's contribution to the magazine and copyright fees, life is also very nourishing. Recently, the first dividend of Lin Xuan's new book has arrived, and Lin Xuan's investment in the shares of the "Yi family" has also been richly rewarded.
Li Zhunyi stood at the door of this single-family villa, this is a typical American-style house, there is a small lawn at the door, which is not only planted with lawns and tall trees, but also planted with some flowers and plants, Li Zhunyi knows that this should be planted by Lin Xuan himself. The white-walled and red-tiled house is divided into two floors, and you can see the top loft when you look up. The single-family house that I have seen countless times in the movie appears in front of me at this time.
Li Zhunyi's heartbeat accelerated, but not because of the villa, but because of the "hometown timidity", although this is not his hometown, but where Li Zhunyi's parents are. Thinking about it, he hasn't seen each other for more than five years or almost six years, and he is about to meet Lin Xuan, Li Zhunyi is also a little excited; and thinking that he is about to meet Li Chaoyang, I don't know what Li Chaoyang thinks about his career now, Li Zhunyi is a little worried, and it is inevitable that there will be some gains and losses.
Li Zhunyi adjusted his breathing, took a step and was about to go in, but saw the door being pushed open, and a familiar figure walked out of it. The woman in front of her looked like she was about thirty-five years old, in fact, she was already in her forties, her well-maintained skin was still white and red, with willow eyebrows, a small melon seed face, and long black hair tied up at will, tied up with a shark, quite a bit of the style of a beauty in the water town of Jiangnan. The peach-colored sweater on her body made her skin look even better, and she wore a beige woolen jacket over it, and she held a shopping bag in her hand, casually slicing it at her elbow.
In fact, this woman is dressed very life-like, but it plainly gives people a sense of brightness and moving. Gently closed the door, pinned the hanging hair behind the ear with his right hand, looked at the stairs in front, and walked down in a few small steps.
The woman walked down the stairs and looked up, only to find the figure standing outside the fence, which seemed to be 1.87 meters by the eye, a smoky gray tweed coat, a lake blue knitted sweater inside, a pair of navy blue slacks underneath, and a pair of white lace-up canvas shoes. The short and medium hair was fluttering messily in the wind, and the cheeks seemed to be thinner than in memory, and the skin was a lot whiter, and it looked a little malnourished, which made people feel distressed for a while. But the unfathomable eyes and the mischievous smile on the corners of the mouth are still as vivid as the memories in my mind.
"Zhun Yi!" Lin Xuan could only shout this sentence, but he couldn't say anything.
The woman in front of her is Lin Xuan, Li Zhunyi's mother, elegant, intellectual, and calm, and the temperament revealed in that detail makes people sigh "beauty". Unlike Lynch's capable, concise, heroic and sassy female beauty in the new era, Lin Xuan is more in line with the definition of traditional Chinese beauty, and only a few fine lines left by the years at the corners of the eyes indicate that Lin Xuan is the mother of a twenty-year-old boy.
"Mom, are you not welcome your son into the house?" The imaginary excitement, unfamiliarity, and longing have become extremely natural after meeting. Li Zhunyi felt as if he had never left his mother, at the age of twenty, he should still be the child who would be impatient because of his mother's nagging and worried because his mother was sick.
Seeing the tears in Lin Xuan's eyes, Li Zhunyi took a few big steps over and hugged Lin Xuan into his arms. In five years, Li Zhunyi's shoulders are thick enough for his mother to rely on. When he left home and went to South Korea, Li Zhunyi was only 1.75 meters, but he has grown a lot taller over the years, his facial features have become more obvious, and the green stubble on his chin also makes Lin Xuan a little strange, "My son has really grown up." ”
"Why don't you hang up the phone when you come back, didn't you say that you would play at your aunt's for a few more days?" Lin Xuan took a step back, pulled Li Zhunyi's arm and looked up and down, and began to nag, obviously asking Li Zhunyi questions, but he didn't wait for an answer, just said energetically, "Do you stay up late every day, and your dark circles are so heavy." Eating must not be on time, malnourished, and so pale. I remember that your complexion was not very healthy in the past, but now it has turned so much whiter, it must be that your work and rest time are not normal. While speaking, Lin Xuan still walked around Li Zhunyi, and seemed to take a closer look at Li Zhunyi, "There is no meat on your body, no one urges you to eat there, you must have forgotten it." When I was sick, I was afraid that I would be worried, and I refused to tell me, the last time you had a high fever, if your uncle hadn't accidentally found out when he hung up the phone with your agent, I would still be in the dark, and your child would not be worry-free......"
Listening to Lin Xuan's nagging, Li Zhun Yi just listened with a smile, although Lin Xuan kept asking and answering himself, Li Zhun Yi had no idea of explaining. He knew that his mother was just expressing her regret that she hadn't seen each other for so many years. Although it was his own decision to go to South Korea, Lin Xuan still felt a little remorseful, he let the young Li Zhun Yi go to South Korea alone, and when they met again, no matter how they looked at Li Zhun Yi, they felt that he was not taken care of.
After listening to Lin Xuan's nagging for more than ten minutes, Li Zhunyi held his mother's hand, "Mom, you don't plan to receive me outside the door, do you?" I haven't even entered the house yet, if you don't mind, take me to visit our house." Speaking of this, Li Zhunyi hugged his mother from behind Lin Xuan, and said in Lin Xuan's ear, "Mom, before coming to the United States this time, I received some advertisements and earned some money, which can help the family pay off the mortgage." Well, your son is amazing, he started raising a family at the age of twenty. ”
Li Zhunyi's naughty words made Lin Xuan laugh out loud, and there were still crystal tears in his eyes, but looking at his son's handsome face and touching his son's warm big hand, Lin Xuan was full of emotion, but the words he said couldn't cry or laugh, "Who wants you to support your family, you save money well and use it to marry your daughter-in-law in the future." ”
"Mom, are you mistaken, how old am I, besides, why do you need so much money to marry a daughter-in-law......"
Li Zhunyi helped Lin Xuan to walk home, the voices of the two gradually became quieter, and the gate returned to calm again, which made people feel calm.
