THE NEXT MORNING JACKSON CAME, A LITTLE SHORTER THAN ME, WITH GLASSES AND DARK SKIN.

But it looks very healthy.

I ushered him into the living room and watched him greet the old couple politely.

I hadn't seen him since I woke up in the morning, and I thought he was already on his way to the airport, so I grabbed my things and followed

JACKSON WALKED OUT OF THE HOUSE TOGETHER. I stood in the doorway for a moment, remembering what he had told me, and I went back to the living room

They confessed.

"I'm not coming back for dinner at noon... We went outside to play!"

The old lady looked at me with some surprise and said, "Okay... Stay safe, don't go too far..."

I NODDED, TOOK JACKSON TO THE GARAGE, POINTED TO THE PORSCHE AND SAID, "YOU START IT, IT'S STOPPED."

It's been a long time... I don't know if I can start it?"

JACKSON OPENED THE CAR DOOR AND CLICKED...

The mouth immediately said, "No problem... Let's go!"

Looking at her cheerful personality, it seemed that I was also infected, I took out a cigarette from my backpack and asked, "Do you smoke?"

He shook his head and said, "I don't smoke... You can't smoke in public in the U.S., you remember!"

I smiled and said, "I know this, don't worry... I won't disgrace you!"

He laughed and then asked me, "How old are you?"

"I'm twenty-eight years old... What about you?"

"I'm twenty-five..."

"So young!"

He replied, "I'm not young anymore... Now I'll talk to you about English, if you don't understand, ask me, start with simple speaking,

When I first arrived, I was like you, and after a few years, I would be very slippery. ”

I immediately replied in English, "OK, my teache."

！”

ALONG THE WAY, HE KEPT CHATTING ABOUT THE SITUATION WHEN HE FIRST CAME TO THE UNITED STATES, JACKSON STAYED HERE ON A SCHOLARSHIP, AND HIS FAMILY CONDITIONS

It's not very good, the parents are ordinary civil servants. At this time, I admired him very much for having such an optimistic and courageous attitude.

After all, going to an unfamiliar country is a process of adaptation, but for him, it is all on his own.

After driving for an hour, the surrounding environment began to become less prosperous, and it should be out of the city.

I looked at the buildings on both sides of the road, even if I was out of the city, many of the houses here were small villas, and they were very neatly planned.

The pointed roof of the building looks very European and American. THE TRAFFIC ORDER AND PEDESTRIANS ARE VERY OBEDIENT, AND JACKSON HOLDS IT STEADILY

The steering wheel, which is driven very steadily, shows a sense of maturity that does not match his age.

At this time, JACKSON asked me in English, "Do you k."

Where to go?)"

I deliberately replied in a mischievous tone: "Teache."

(Teacher, I don't understand!)"

He looked at me seriously and asked, and by the way, he switched to Chinese: "Really?"

I laughed and replied, "I'm just kiddi."

g... (I'm just kidding...) ）”

ALONG THE WAY, JACKSON AND I FELT LIKE OLD FRIENDS. As the road gets smaller, it comes head-on

I saw the magnificent sea, the sea crashing wildly against the rocks on the side of the road, making a whistling sound, the scene was very spectacle

magnificent.

FROM AFAR, THE WATER WAS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND JACKSON PARKED OVER A SMALL BRIDGE.

I immediately jumped out of the car, opened my hands and took a deep breath. Looking at the blue sea, it is sparsely populated, probably out of the city

A bit far from the cause.

Flocks of seagulls fluttered their wings and flew freely on the sea, and I took off my shoes and stepped on the fine cotton sand.

I asked Jackson, who was following behind, "How did you fi."

d such a beautiful place？

(How did you find such a beautiful place?)"

THIS TIME, JACKSON SPOKE Chinese TO ME: "I WAS BROUGHT HERE BY A CLASSMATE FROM THE UNITED STATES, AND WE OFTEN COME HERE TO SKETCH, SOMETIMES

Sit here quietly and play the guitar, no one disturbs and no one else disturbs..."

I was surprised and asked him, "Do you still play guitar?"

"American students can basically play the guitar, don't you?"

I was a little embarrassed and said, "No... Can you teach me to play the guitar? and sketching..."

JACKSON SMILED AND SAID, "I CAN TEACH YOU TO PLAY THE GUITAR, BUT IF YOU WANT TO SKETCH, YOU'D BETTER GO TO SCHOOL AND LEARN IT... , so professional

A little!"

"Well... Then when you are free, ask me to play the guitar, and I will pay you for the tuition, my teache

！”

He said very righteously: "You don't need to give me money to play the guitar, Mr. Chamber, who tutored me, has already given it to me, so we should pay one."

Friends!"

I looked at him with emotion, then reached out and he quickly put his hand on my palm, which I squeezed tightly

It's not easy to make friends in a foreign country.

THEN WE SAT TOGETHER ON THE BEACH, AND JACKSON PULLED OUT A STACK OF PAPERS FROM HIS BAG, AND IT WAS OSTENSIBLY THAT HE WAS TAKING ME OUT

When I came to play, he actually started to teach me English skillfully. Looking at his serious, responsible attitude, I suddenly

Admire him from the heart.

He has been answering me in English, and if it is a little more difficult, he will speak it in both Chinese and English, plus it is quiet here

The environment will allow you to devote yourself to learning.

JACKSON HAS ACTUALLY GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE, AND HE STAYED IN THE UNITED STATES THIS YEAR TO WORK, AND TUTORING ME IS JUST ONE OF THE JOBS.

I have another job in the evening, and I plan to start graduate school next semester.

He has planned his life so well and has lived so fully even abroad.

I told him seriously, "When I practice my English, I'll go to work with you." ”

He looked at me with an surprised expression: "No... Your conditions are so good!"

I didn't know how to introduce myself to him, so I had to reply, "What I said is true... Part-time jobs can not only refine English,

You can also exercise yourself. ”

"I'm working in a Chinese restaurant at night, can you?"

I was curious and asked, "What kind of work do you do in general?"

"Serving dishes, entertaining guests, and so on. ”

"No problem... I'm good at cooking, I'll let you try my cooking skills next time!"

"Okay... I'll look forward to it!"

I thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, you come over at noon tomorrow, and I'll cook for you to eat, and order what you want to eat first!"

"Okay... It's been a long time since I've eaten authentic braised pork ribs, and I'm hungry now..."

I smiled and patted him on the shoulder, a big boy three years younger than me, who showed it a lot of the time

but more mature than I am.
