Chapter 42, Girlfriend

Li Ya got out of the refrigerator factory, went into the city to buy daily necessities, and also toured the city. Vancouver is very beautiful and green, and it is a different scenery from the idyllic scenery of the farm. Walking left and right, I saw a sign on the street, which was actually the Chinese General Consulate in Vancouver, the Consul, the Secretary, and the Embassy. This made him very curious, there are consuls, affairs, and pavilions here, but he has never heard of them, and he thought that there were only ambassadors and pavilions in the Canadian capital.

Now that he saw the consulate, Li Ya felt that he should go in and inquire about the situation in China. The doorman saw a man with the same yellow skin, black hair and black eyes as himself coming over, raised his hand, and asked, "Sir, is there something wrong?"

When Li Ya heard it, hey, it was actually Cantonese. Almost all the Chinese here in Vancouver speak Cantonese, Li Ya can barely understand some for so long, but he can hardly speak, it seems that this janitor who works in the consulate has worked Cantonese. Busy in Mandarin: "I just saw that there are consulates, affairs, and pavilions here, come and chat, and by the way, consult about visa matters." ”

As soon as the other party heard Li Ya's fluent Mandarin, he immediately felt cordial, and hurriedly welcomed Li Ya into the reception room of the consulate and consulate. Brewed tea for Li Ya and apologized: "You sit down first, the consul general and something is going out, I'll go and ask the counselor to come over." ”

Li Ya thanked him and said, "Please." ”

Soon a man in his forties knocked on the door and walked in, and said with a smile: "Consul General Chen has something to go out, sorry, sorry." Hello, I am the Cultural Consul of the Consulate General, Sansongsen. ”

"Hello! Li Ya stood up and shook hands with him, the two sides sat down, and Li Ya said, "My name is Li Ya." I've been in Vancouver for a while, and I didn't know that there was a consulate here, but I passed by here today and saw the sign outside, so I just came in to inquire about the visa. ”

Although Consul Sang is 47 years old this year, he used to be a journalist and published a large number of news, newsletters, essays, and commentaries in many newspapers across the country, and was quite influential, and was once awarded the honorary title of National Advanced Cultural Worker. But he was still a little surprised when he heard Li Ya's name, and asked, "Are you the Li Ya who donated more than 10 million yuan to the mutual aid association?" Li Ya donated a total of 12 million US dollars to the mutual aid association, which had a great impact on the Chinese in Canada, and the Consulate General in Vancouver naturally knew about it.

Li Ya sighed and said: "Hey, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, just do something if you can." When I first came to Canada, I got help from a mutual aid association, and I saw that the conditions of the mutual aid association were poor, and there were many Chinese people in need of help, so I donated 2 million. There were so many refugees coming from behind, and when I saw the appearance of the refugees, I felt uncomfortable. After buying a farm and a refrigerator factory, there was not much money left. Although the refrigerator factory and farm can accommodate some people, compared to the fact that there are too few refugees who have come, I didn't have much hope of going to sea to fish, and I can only get some money, and at worst, I can catch some fish for everyone to come back to fill their stomachs. It was also good luck that I was able to donate 10 million. ”

Consul Sang said: "Anyway, you donated more than 10 million yuan, but you helped the overseas Chinese who arrived in Canada a lot. ”

"Little things, little things, don't talk about it. Li Ya said, "What is the situation in China? When I came out, Guangming Daily published an article called "Reality and Practice Are the Only and One Standard for Testing Truth and Reason." At that time, the article had a very big impact in schools. ”

Listening to Li Ya's words, Sang Songsen was taken aback. In any case, he couldn't imagine that Li Ya actually came out of China, and asked, "Are you from China?"

Li Ya smiled: "Escaped from Hong Kong." That is, a few days after the publication of "Reality and Practice is the Only, One, and Standard for Testing Truth and Reason", I met the head of the security department in the school at night and wanted to rape the female student, and I was knocked down and sent to the security office. Who knew that the next day things were reversed, and I became the bad guy who wanted to rape and was fired. In this way, I will have no choice but to flee Hong Kong. ”

Consul Sang said angrily: "There is such a thing as reversing black and white! Which school? Now that I know about it, I must report it to the country." ”

Li Ya said with a smile: "Tsinghua, I am a physics major, and the head teacher is Wang Yang." ”

Consul Sang said: "I know, I will report it to the country in the evening." He looked at Li Ya, "Saying that such a thing still happened to you, you can still laugh, and your heart is really big." ”

Li Ya smiled: "I'm not fine now." After escaping from Hong Kong, luck came and a fortune was made. After that, I came to Vancouver. ”

Consul Sang smiled: "You are simply a legend. ”

Li Ya chatted with Counselor Sang for more than an hour before leaving, and also learned about the visa procedures, planning to return to China to visit relatives in winter.

Go to Chinatown for dinner, walk to the entrance and take a look, at this time there is no Zhongshan Park here, and it will take a few years to be built. When Zhongshan Park was built, everyone donated money and materials, and people from China also sent people to help design it, and many rockeries and other things were shipped from China.

Back on the farm, Li Ya once again lived a leisurely life. He often helps with herding, and often goes into the mountains to hunt. Even after the production line of the refrigerator factory was built, the farm workers left to work in the refrigerator factory, and Li Ya only sent them on the farm, and did not follow them to the refrigerator factory, but Shu Yue came to pick up people.

When Shu Yue arrived, she saw Li Ya wearing cheap clothes, which had a lot of dirt on them, and even a hole. Looking at Li Ya's ordinary appearance, Shu Yue's heart suddenly throbbed. Although she had only met and talked to Li Ya a few times, Shu Yue felt that Li Ya, an ordinary guy, was a little extraordinary. donated more than 10 million yuan, Shu Yue was impressed by Li Ya and felt that Li Ya was very loving. Seeing him eating wild vegetable corn rice with the workers in the refrigerator factory, I didn't think there was anything special at the time. Seeing Li Ya like this today, Shu Yue suddenly felt that such a Li Ya was different. Shu Yue helped manage the refrigerator factory, and also carried the farm, knowing how Li Ya was also a rich man now. Such a rich man who is young and rich is not like others who are drunk with money, but he lives in a simple place on the farm and lives an ordinary and peaceful life, which is Li Ya's extraordinary.

Shu Yue knew that Li Ya had a good impression of her when the two met for the first time, and she was persuaded by Sister Huang to help Li Ya take care of the refrigerator factory and farm later, and she helped Li Ya to help the refrigerator factory and the farm accept refugees. There are more people who have a good impression of themselves, Li Ya is just an ordinary one among them, and now he suddenly discovered the shining point in Li Ya. Shu Yue's personality is a little introverted, and under the influence of her mother, she doesn't feel that those romantic loves like rain, fog and wind are what she wants, and what she wants is to live a peaceful life with people who know each other.

Li Ya saw Shu Yue stunned for a moment, his face flushed slightly, and asked, "Is it a little hot?"

Shu Yue disguised: "It's just that I'm surprised that you, a rich man, are still working in torn clothes." ”

Li Ya smiled: "It's not work, I rarely work on the farm, but I often go hunting." The hole in the clothes was broken during hunting, and it was a pity to throw it away, and even if you put on new clothes, you might have broken the hook again on the same day. ”

Shu Yue said: "I know, Guo Yuhua said when he sent the prey over, you have a gun in your hand, and your marksmanship is very good, since you started hunting, the prey sent to the factory has increased a lot." ”

Li Ya said: "My marksmanship is okay, and it's better to hunt than to work on a farm." Hunting is not only easy, but also fun. ”

"I plan to return to China to visit relatives, or you will go with me, go back to China first, have an impression, and return to China to invest in the future It will be more planned. Li Ya said, "By the way, I also came to my house for the New Year." ”

Shu Yue heard that Li Ya actually invited herself to return to China with him for the New Year, this is a confession!

Li Ya saw Shu Yue's face flushed, and he was a little puzzled, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that inviting the girl to his home for the New Year was the rhythm of wanting to become a family with others. Seeing that Shu Yue just blushed and didn't refuse, Li Ya felt that there was a drama and said, "Okay, very good." I was expelled from school, and I went abroad, so it's hard to explain when I go back. You go back with me, and when my parents see that I have brought back a beautiful and capable girlfriend, they will not only not teach me, but will also praise me. ”

Shu Yue said in a low voice: "I haven't agreed to be your girlfriend yet." ”

Now that he has made it clear, Li Ya said: "Then let me ask again, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"

Shu Yue was shy after all, her voice lowered, and said, "If it weren't for the fear that you would be scolded when you returned to China, I wouldn't agree." ”
