THE NEXT MORNING, WHEN I WALKED INTO THE RESTAURANT, I SAW JOAN AND BAI ANNAN SITTING AT THE TABLE.

I asked, "Why are you getting up so early?"

"Go to my mom's house... What about you?"

I was a little prevaricating and said, "Almost... You're going to use the car today, right?"

"Are you using my car?"

"Yes, or your car would have broken down long ago!"

At this time, he spoke: "Qiao Yu, you can drive my car today, you go over first in the morning, and I will do good things in the afternoon."

Go ...... again."

"I'm going to take the subway today, and I can take a taxi. ”

I remembered to promise Jackso

borrowed a car, so he said to JOAN: "Your car was supposed to be promised today."

Lend it to my friend for a day, they're going out to play......"

JOAN FROWNED AND SAID, "DON'T LET PEOPLE DRIVE MY CAR, IS IT DIRTY INSIDE?"

"How is that possible? I made it clean... You are reluctant to let me drive, I will buy a cheap substitute for me. ”

JOAN CORRECTED: "I'M TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE..."

Cars in the United States are already quite cheap, and spending $20,000 on a car is already very bad, and it also seems very good

Low-key, I'm not used to driving a Porsche to work in a restaurant.

I GLANCED AT JOAN: "WHY ARE YOU SO STINGY? THE CAR WAS MEANT TO BE DRIVEN..."

"You're so annoying... I said someone else!"

I put down the fork after eating, and Bai Annan was looking at us with a smile...

I took the opportunity to say to Bai Annan: "She probably treats me and you as someone else..."

I DIDN'T GIVE JOAN A CHANCE TO FIGHT BACK AND WALKED OUT OF THE RESTAURANT......

IN THE LIVING ROOM, I SAW THE OLD LADY TAKE OUT A GIFT AND ASK JOAN TO BRING IT TO HER MOTHER, AND I LEFT THE HOUSE AFTER SEEING THIS.

Took the subway to the hospital. Except for the jackso when he first came

Took me to sit once, and today I am still the first

Once. For more than half a year, I have been wandering around the hospital and school, although my mother's illness is slightly better than before.

But there are signs of healing.

As soon as I pushed the room open, my mother seemed to be expecting it for a long time, and smiled when she saw me.

As soon as I sat down, my mother still said the same as before: "Qiao Yu, Mom wants to go home..."

I was a little embarrassed and said, "The doctor said, if you stay for a while, you won't be able to return to China after you are discharged from the hospital, and there will be no one to take care of you." ”

When my mom heard me say this, her expression immediately darkened, and I helped her up and put her in a wheelchair.

The new year began again, along the aisle, pushing her to the flower beds of the hospital. Although the weather is very cold today,

But under the sunlight, it still looks a little warm...

"Qiao Yu, didn't you say bring the child over last time?"

I knew that she would ask this question sooner or later, so I replied a little reluctantly: "I haven't seen each other for so long, Xiaobei and Xiaoxiong have seen it."

I'm a little stranger, I'm afraid that it won't be good to bring here, and they will cry..."

My mother said with emotion: "Children need to be carefully raised, and now that I am separated from them, I will not be close to you in the future." ”

"We don't have time to bring... Lin still brought it very well, and I'll talk about it later!"

My mom's words reminded me... My relationship with him, as my mom said, was like he was working hard

Improve the rustiness between us, but compared to my mother's relationship, this can never be surpassed.

My mother's complexion has improved a little bit in the past few days, but she is still very pale, and her hair has basically fallen out

Gone, I bought her a hat to wear on her head. She was less than fifty years old, and she had a serious illness... Before white and tender skin

She had been replaced by a wound, and the disease had tormented her lifelessly.

I looked at her with a little distress, if she gave up treatment now, it would mean giving up her life.

At half past eleven he came, and as soon as he entered the house, he told me to go back first, and looked at his gentle attitude, and followed me

Mom left the hospital after saying goodbye.

It was still early and it was not interesting to go home, so I took out my phone and checked the map, and I wanted to go around.

After coming to the United States, except for with Jackso

I went out together a few times, because the level of English was too poor before, so

I don't have the courage to come out alone.,Now I'm basically speaking English outside.,Language will become more and more talked.

Naturally......

I took a bus to (Sa

3rd Street Pedestrian Street,

This is one of the more famous streets in Santa Monica, and the commercial streets here are similar to those in our country, but with people

It's not so crowded, the atmosphere is really better than ours from home, the infrastructure... A lot of cities in our country

It's newer than here, and I looked around, and the buildings here are not as tall as in our city.

The environment is indeed very clean, and occasionally you can see Asians...

Along the street, you can see most coffee shops, and the storefront is very warm...

Actually, I can't think of anything I want to buy, living in the United States... The daily necessities at home are Adah

If it's ready, I don't have to come out and buy it myself.

So I bought a cup of coffee and sat down on the stone steps of the fountain, and there were a few foreigners sitting around, though

It's cold, but the people here seem to be used to this laid-back life...

Just as I was about to leave, an Asian man sat next to me and greeted me very kindly

Whew: "HI... Whe

e a

e you f

(Where are you from)?"

I couldn't tell which country he was from in Asia, so I smiled and replied, "Chi."

a，What about you?”

“japa

!”

I smiled and nodded to him, so I had a casual chat, he is also an international student... Even if he's Japanese,

I feel very close to being in a Western country. When I said goodbye, he stood up very politely and used

The Japanese etiquette bowed ...

。。。。。。。。。。

In the restaurant today...... Except for Chinese students, most of the American students have returned home.

JACKSON DIDN'T COME WHEN HE TOOK A LEAVE OF ABSENCE, AND I GUESS I WAS HAVING A GOOD TIME WITH ELLA TODAY.

Before eight o'clock, there were no guests, and I wiped all the tables by myself, mopped them and watched them pile up

A big bucket of plates, I sighed... Then put the greasy dishes in the water.

Although there are not many customers today, there are really a lot of plates accumulated... Only halfway through washing, the phone rang,

I casually wiped my hands with a rag.

When I picked up the phone, I heard his voice: "Qiao Yu, are you still in the store now?"

He never called me when I was working, and I was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"

He said very calmly: "The child is here, we are in the restaurant..."

I hung up the phone and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, and was shocked by the picture in an instant, Lin was still leading the child,

Under his leadership, he is standing in the middle of the restaurant... I look tired...

I quickly took off the apron tied to my body, came to the child's side, looked at Lin Yi and asked, "Why are you here?"

She was still as cold as she always was, and she didn't pay any attention to me.

At this time, he opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere: "I still went directly to the hospital, she had to stay in a hotel, I took them back,

You can get off work, right?"

They should still be meeting for the first time, but judging by their expressions, they should get along okay, and I touched them separately

The child's head hurriedly said, "There are still a few dishes to be washed, you wait a minute, it will be fine soon......"

I quickly returned to the kitchen and cleaned it up as fast as I could.

When I went out again and saw that the boss was there, he said to me, "Kevi."

, don't be busy, go back quickly!"

I laughed a little and immediately said, "We're done cleaning, so let's go first..."

I was very distressed to pick up my two children... Although they were a little squirming when I was holding them, I saw Lin Yi

I followed behind, so I didn't cry ...

When I opened the car door, I saw that there was a child seat installed in his car, and I asked for a moment, "When is this seat?"

Installed?"

"At Christmas, don't you say bring it back?"

Remembering the days in Taipei, I was a little embarrassed to put Xiaobei on the seat, and my daughter was a little afraid to say:

"I want my mother..."

I didn't let go of her, and patiently said, "Mom will come up, you sit down first..."

pressed the two children into the child seat separately, and pulled the passenger seat open to let Lin still sit in the front, because the position behind was installed

After two child seats, it looks very crowded.

However, Lin still didn't seem to appreciate it at all, and opened the door in the back row and sat down. Watching her movements,

I jumped in the car a little bored and sat in the front.

Lin is still cold, and the child's strangeness to me... So on the way back, I was silent and didn't know

Something to say. Instead, he asked Lin in a gentle tone: "Still, have you ever been to Los Angeles?"

I heard her politely reply, "I've been to New York when I'm studying, and it's the first time I've been to Los Angeles." ”

"Let Qiao Yu take you out for a walk tomorrow..."

Now she doesn't respond directly to me whenever she mentions me, which is what I can expect.

After a while, he said, "I'll go to the hospital again tomorrow... We'll be going back soon. ”

He said kindly: "Since you're here... Just stay a few more days, her grandmother saw the child, and she was in a much better mood today. ”

Lin still has a very good relationship with my mother, and my mother is the same with her, from the beginning of their acquaintance.

That kind of affection has gone beyond the so-called mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, so when she heard the mention of my mother, she didn't refute it again.
