After a while, he turned to me as he drove the car and asked, "Have you been in contact with JOAN?"

I thought for a moment and replied, "Since the last time I returned the car... Seen it a few times. ”

He began to ask me about my studies again: "Qiao Yu, do you plan to go to the language school now and take classes directly, or let the international students go first."

Counseling for you. ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Isn't it time for the class to start?

"It's no problem to go... I'm afraid that if you skip the course, you will have a little difficulty learning!"

"Then let him tutor me for a few months... Wait for September to go to school formally, so that the learning will be more comprehensive.

It's just the right time to spend time with my mom!"

"Hmm... Then I decided that after I go to Shanghai, you should get along with your family well, and you should become a little more tactful. ”

The family he mentioned was nothing more than the old couple, and there was no basis for any family affection between me and them.

No one can adapt to it. But at this stage, I'm not too pretentious, try to follow his ideas, contact in a short time,

I have found that he is a very responsible person, leaving his work to take care of my mother so well!

Then he told me, "If you want to go out for a walk, you can ask that international student to take you out, he has the United States."

's driver's license, Joan's car is parked in the garage, the keys will be given to you at home, out... Safety first!"

Suddenly a warmth surged in my heart, I have never enjoyed father's love since I was a child, and at this moment, I learned from his

I felt the love of being cared for in my tone. At least he has slowly changed my attitude towards him to me,

He has a lot of trust in everything.

When he got home, he drove the car straight into the garage.

Then he pointed to a white Porsche and said, "This is JOAN's car, it's been parked for a long time, and the car hasn't been there for a long time."

It's not good to drive the right engine, and when I come back from Shanghai, you go and get a driver's license in the United States, and you have to stay here for at least a few years.

It's a lot more convenient to have a car, and when you get acquainted with Los Angeles, you can drive around by yourself. ”

Then she opened the door of the car, took out the keys from it and handed it to me. Looking at his gentle attitude,

I took the key from him calmly.

Walking into the house, he took me straight to the dining room, and it was already dinner time.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw an elderly couple busy in the kitchen.

Then he walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

They looked back at the same time: "You're back... We're cooking Chinese food, I'm afraid Qiao Yu won't get used to it..."

When I heard this, my body suddenly froze... It was that kind of emotion that was very touching and difficult to express that made me feel good

Frozen in the living room.

At this moment... I couldn't say anything like thanks, so I turned and walked outside.

Smelling the scent of flowers and plants in the yard, I stood by the lawn and lit a cigarette. It's getting dark,

It was also my first night in the U.S., and I suddenly missed Becky and Bear. Although on the lips

Say... I go to see them once a year, but at the moment I can't wait to take them over.

He came out halfway through his cigarette, and he sat casually on the stairs in front of the courtyard, and I glanced back.

I only feel uncomfortable, getting along is a process, all at once accept this unfamiliar feelings, instead

It made me feel like I wanted to escape.

A cigarette went out, and I walked up to him, trying to say something, but my mouth couldn't open.

So I did what he did, and sat down on the stairs.

Or did he speak first: "Qiao Yu... Is there a burden in your heart?"

I soaked up my emotions for a moment and said, "I can't say it's a burden, I feel a little unaccustomed." ”

"Take your time... Actually, they are very good, because they didn't agree with our divorce before, after all, JOAN is so old,

They may also have some ideas of their own..."

He paused and said, "Your mother and I have already got a marriage certificate..."

I looked at him in amazement, and then he continued: "When we first returned to the United States, we were simple

I checked it in, I'm afraid that in the future..."

He didn't finish his sentence, probably because my mother wouldn't be able to walk if her condition worsened.

Today I know him well enough for me to digest for a while. I suddenly realized what I was saying to my mom when I injured my leg

It's wrong, and it shouldn't be told to her, so that her crankiness increases the psychological burden.

If I hadn't told my mom that day, they would have come together a long time ago, and probably wouldn't have gotten it

This disease. I was annoyed and tried to pull out my cigarette again, but he tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Smoke less,

Let's go inside... It's time to eat. ”

After saying that, he stood up, and looking at his strong back, I suddenly felt very small.

On the table, today's cooking is all Chinese food, including pork ribs, braised fish, and soup.

After I sat down, I finally spoke: "I don't need to cook Chinese food in the future, I am used to eating Western food." ”

The old lady said gently, "It's okay... We also eat Chinese food occasionally. ”

The meal ended in silence, and after walking out of the dining room, I went straight to the bedroom.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment and the silent room, I don't know how JOAN lives, and I think of just now

I was not happy, so I opened WeChat and sent her a video call.

After connecting, JOAN is seen appearing in the screen, chewing something in his mouth, and seems to be eating breakfast.

Before I could speak, her voice came: "What are you doing... You're so annoying!"

It dawned on me that the phrase 'you're so annoying' was her mantra.

I asked in a concerned tone, "Didn't you sleep last night... Breakfast so early?"

"I've woken up a long time ago, and I'm going to prepare materials for the meeting today. ”

I asked curiously, "You speak Chinese in a meeting?"

"Speaking in English and Chinese... Our management here all know English, and you're the dumbest I've ever seen. ”

I'll ask her about it later, so I'm not going to argue with her for now.

Seeing that I didn't speak, she asked again, "What's the matter with you... Come on, I'm going to the company. ”

So I asked her, "It's so lonely to live here... How do you spend your time?"

"Spend?"

Looking at her, she frowned, as if she didn't understand the word.

So I put it another way: "What do you do at home? or it's going to be boring..."

"Not necessarily... Sometimes I go out to PUB with my classmates, and sometimes I stay at home and play guita

，

Are you bored?"

"It's so boring, I slept in the afternoon, and now I'm going to sleep again..."

"I had guita in my room

, you can use it. ”

I was a little embarrassed and said, "I won't..."

JOAN LOOKED AT ME A LITTLE EXAGGERATEDLY: "YOU'RE REALLY STUPID... You can learn. ”

Listening to her sarcastic words, I said a little deflated: "Then I'm hanging... Go get busy!"

THE MOMENT I WANTED TO CLOSE THE VIDEO, JOAN ASKED ME AGAIN, "DO YOU WANT ME TO FIND YOU A TEACHER?"

"Guitar teacher?"

"That's right!"

"Let's talk about it later... I've been taking care of my mom lately!"

JOAN PAUSED AND ASKED, "IS YOUR MOM OKAY?"

I lit a cigarette and said, "It doesn't feel good... So the heart is upset!"

LOOKING AT JOAN'S EXPRESSION, SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO WANT TO TALK MORE ABOUT MY MOTHER, MAYBE FROM HER MOTHER'S POINT OF VIEW!

I also understood her feelings, so at this time I said playfully, "Then I'll shut it down!"

After turning off the video, I sat down on the couch in boredom......
