Chapter 298: Old Friends
"You're really bold enough! Sing Beijing in the center of New York, and you can do it!"
"I'm just crazy, thinking that they can't understand anyway, so I sang it!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.
"Haha, you haven't changed after so many years, the Yankees have fooled you, and you're still shouting Beijing after you!" the other party laughed, "But this song is really enough to mention, what's the name?"
"Beijing, Beijing. Zhong Yuemin said, "If I had sung that our workers had strength, I would have been more uplifted." ”
"Haha......"
"Yes, I can't speak, you will laugh like this when I open my mouth!" Zhong Yuemin took a sip of his drink, "Don't let us meet after more than ten years and laugh your jaw off!"
"Phew!" the other party was angry and glanced at Zhong Yuemin, "Why did you come to the United States?"
"I haven't asked you yet, aren't you going to Hong Kong?" Zhong Yuemin looked at Cui Yang in front of him, and after so many years, he still felt that she looked like Ryoko Hirosue.
Cui Yang was a little lonely, "After my mother took me to Hong Kong, I found that my father had completely changed, he didn't have a serious job there, he only knew how to gamble on horses every day, and he owed a butt of loan sharks." ”
"Then why did you let you pass?"
"Forced by loan sharks, let my mother go over to work to pay off the debt, or I will chop off his hand. ”
Zhong Yuemin was stunned, he always thought that Cui Yang's father must be a capable person, but he didn't expect it to be such a bloody thing.
Cui Yang sighed softly, "Our family is crammed into Kowloon City, the room is only the size of two single beds, it is hot and humid, and we have stayed up for five years.
My mom worked four jobs a day, went out before dawn, and came back in the middle of the night to sweep the garbage, serve dishes, and carry goods, no matter how dirty and tired she was.
And my dad slept until noon every day, went out to fool around until dawn, and often didn't come home. ”
Cui Yang said that the tears flowed out, and Zhong Yuemin gave her tissues.
"Did you pay off your debts later?"
Cui Yang shook his head, "Profits are rolling, old debts add new debts, and you will never be able to pay them off."
Luckily he died, hacked to death in the street. ”
"Your father?" Zhong Yuemin asked in surprise.
"Well, let people hack to death in the streets. Cui Yang's face was expressionless, "As soon as my mother received the news, she ran away with me, first hiding on Hong Kong Island, and then hiding on Lamma Island, Chek Kok, and Kat O. ”
Zhong Yuemin frowned, he really couldn't imagine how Cui Yang and her mother survived this time.
"Although my mother and I are hiding in Tibet and are often so poor that we have no food, we are happier than before, and we no longer beat us and scold us!" Cui Yang seemed to understand Zhong Yuemin's thoughts.
"How did you come to the United States?"
"My mom set up a stall on the dock to make wontons for me to go to school, and I met well-wishers to sponsor me, and I was admitted to college, and then I got a full scholarship to New York University, saying that after graduation, I simply stayed here. Cui Yang glanced at Zhong Yuemin, "What about you, why did you come to the United States?"
"Do you know about the old man's visit to the United States?"
"You know, it's so exciting! Many of us Chinese people cried when they watched TV, the old man kissed the little actor, and many Americans were excited. Cui Yang said with a smile.
"Yes, China has opened its doors and reformed up. Zhong Yuemin said: "I was the first batch of students sent to the United States, so I am here." ”
"Really?!" Cui Yang was a little excited, "What university are you in?"
"Carnegie Merlon, computer science. ”
"In Pittsburgh, not far from New York!" Cui Yang asked again: "Is this time in New York for fun?
"Follow the boss to the meeting, I guess I'll go back tomorrow. Zhong Yuemin said.
"Are you going back tomorrow?" Cui Yang was a little disappointed, "I finally met you, and I want to catch up with you!"
"The main thing is that there are a lot of things in school, and there will definitely be opportunities in the future!" Zhong Yuemin saw that Cui Yang was indeed reluctant, and comforted: "Pittsburgh is not far from New York, if you can go to me on the weekend." ”
Cui Yang smiled at this time, "Then you have to treat me well!"
"Don't worry!" Zhong Yuemin also smiled, "Let's go, where do you live, it's dark, I'll send you back." ”
"Flushing, it's not far from here. Cui Yang waved his hand to the waiter, and put the money under the cup and pressed it.
Zhong Yuemin said: "I'll pay for it!"
"Come on, you're a poor student now, don't fight with me. Cui Yang stopped him with a smile.
Zhong Yuemin said: "I have a scholarship, but I am not poor. ”
"Okay, don't die to save face, I went to college, this is really going to make you pay, I guess you have to eat half a month's bread!
When Zhong Yuemin saw Cui Yang say this, he stopped arguing, put on a military coat, and handed Cui Yang's coat to her.
"You brought this military coat from China, right?" Cui Yang looked at Zhong Yuemin's clothes and laughed, "Don't say it, this military coat can be regarded as a fashion item in New York!"
"The main thing is to wear comfortably, there are more than a dozen catties of cotton, which is used as a jacket during the day and a quilt at night, which is very good. ”
"If you get wet, maybe you can be bulletproof!" Cui Yang teased.
"That's a good idea, go back and do an experiment to see if the quilt soil tank that the little soldier Zhang Ga said in it is true. ”
……
Zhong Yuemin pulled Xila all the way, making Cui Yang laugh so much that he covered his stomach and screamed.
Cui Yang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Ouch! It's still fun to speak in Beijing, everything you say sounds like cross talk, it's too cola!"
"You have to endure a little, I am afraid to see you laugh like this!"
After a long time, Cui Yang gradually regained his composure.
"Yuemin, what was the name of the first song you sang before? ”
"Across the ocean to see you. ”
Cui Yang glanced at Zhong Yuemin in surprise, and immediately reacted again: "Are you looking for someone?"
"Hmm. ”
"Lovers?"
"My girlfriend. ”
"Is she in New York too?"
"I don't know. Zhong Yuemin was a little sad, "I don't know if she's in New York, or even if she's in the United States." ”
"Are you out of touch? Or did she abandon you? How could you not know anything?" Cui Yang wondered.
"Neither, don't guess. Zhong Yuemin shook his head, "This is a long story, and I will have the opportunity to talk to you about it in the future." ”
……
"Beat him!"
"Yellow-skinned monkey!"
"They're the ones who took our jobs!"
"Aren't you good at kung fu?
Passing through a small alley, Zhong Yuemin, who had sharp ears, heard the sound of a fight, and glanced at Cui Yang, obviously she also heard it.
"You wait here for me for a while, and I'll come when I go. ”
Cui Yang stopped: "Don't worry about it, there are often drunks making trouble here." ”
"It's okay, it sounds like the Chinese have been beaten, I'll go take a look. After Zhong Yuemin finished speaking, he walked into the alley.
Sure enough, it was two white drunks who were beating people, and the two of them were swearing a lot, hitting and kicking the people on the ground, and they were merciless.
"Hey, man, you'll kill this guy if you hit him again. ”
The two white ghosts turned around and laughed unscrupulously, "There is another yellow-skinned monkey, it just so happens that we haven't enjoyed it yet, I hope this one is a little more beaten!"
As he spoke, the two of them attacked Zhong Yuemin in two ways, and smashed him with a wine bottle.
Zhong Yuemin saw that the two people were not lightly drunk, their steps were vain, and he easily avoided the attack, slashed at one person's Adam's apple with a hand knife, and kicked the crotch of another person, and put the two of them to the ground on the spot, covering the sore spot and screaming, losing the ability to resist.
Zhong Yuemin walked over to look at the person who was beaten, his face was bleeding, but he could still see that it was a Chinese face.
"Hey, buddy, are you alright?"
Zhong Yuemin patted the other party twice, seeing that he didn't react, he helped the other party up after thinking about it, checked it a little, and found that his breathing was stable, and he probably fainted from the dry.
can't see death without help, Zhong Yuemin simply carried the other party on his shoulder, kicked away the two white ghosts in the way, and went out of the alley.
Cui Yang was waiting anxiously, "Yuemin, are you okay?"
"It's okay, just two drunks, kicked over. Zhong Yuemin pointed to the person on his shoulder, "This kid was beaten up a lot, I have to see a doctor quickly, where is there a hospital nearby?"
"There is one in front of it, which is opened by a Chinese. ”
"Lead the way ahead. Zhong Yuemin didn't talk nonsense and quickened his pace.
Cui Yang hurriedly followed and rushed to the front of Zhong Yuemin, but inadvertently saw the watch on the wrist of the injured person on Zhong Yuemin's shoulder, "Wait!"
Zhong Yuemin was confused: "What's wrong?"
Cui Yang ruffled the injured man's hair and looked at it carefully, "Charles?!"
"What? You know?"
"He is the son of the Chinese doctor in the front medical center. Cui Yang said: "It's also my friend." ”
"Then send it back quickly, it's been delayed, if you have any questions, I'll talk about it later!" Zhong Yuemin urged.
"Hey!"
"Uncle Li, Uncle Li!" Cui Yang shouted as soon as he entered the medical hall.
A doctor who was giving acupuncture stood up and said, "Yangyang, what's wrong?"
"Charles was beaten!" Cui Yang hurriedly said, "Yuemin, come in!"
Dr. Li also saw the son Zhong Yuemin was carrying on his shoulder, "Quick, put it on the diagnosis and treatment bed!"
The people who were waiting to see a doctor in the hospital gathered around, "What's the matter? Why was you beaten so badly?"
Dr. Li called an assistant and quickly measured his son's blood pressure, did a simple physical examination, and treated the wound to stop the bleeding, which was a relief.
"Uncle Li, how is it?" Cui Yang hurriedly asked.
"Fortunately, it was all skin trauma, and it didn't hurt the internal organs and bones, and I was able to wake up after a while. Dr. Li wiped his sweat, "Yangyang, what the hell is going on? How did the National Day be beaten like this?"
"I didn't know, my friend and I were passing through the alley in front of us and we heard someone fighting, so my friend went to see it and saved Charles. Cui Yang replied.
Zhong Yuemin said: "When I saw it, two white drunks were punching and kicking him, and I drove them away, and he had already fainted. I thought he shouldn't have been bleeding, so I carried him out. ”
"Thank you so much!" Dr. Li bowed and thanked, "Fortunately, you stopped it in time, otherwise it would be difficult to say what the injury would have been!"
"You don't have to thank you for the effort. Zhong Yuemin hurriedly got out of the way.
At this time, the onlookers all scolded: "These white devils come to us every day to make trouble, and seven or eight people have been beaten this month!"
"Who's to say it's not!
"The police don't care, who cares? If you are beaten, you can only consider yourself unlucky!"
"What a bully!"
Dr. Li asked the other doctors to continue the consultation, while he pushed his son into the backyard, with Zhong Yuemin and Cui Yang following behind.
When Mrs. Li heard the voice, she hurried out and saw her son lying on the hospital bed with blood on his face, and she was immediately frightened.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay on National Day!" Dr. Li hurriedly reassured.
Mrs. Li threw herself beside her son, "Ping'an, what's wrong with National Day?"
"I was beaten up on the street, and I broke a few pieces of skin, but it wasn't a big deal. ”
"Then, why aren't you awake?" said Mrs. Li anxiously.
"I've fainted, I'll wake up in a while, don't worry. Dr. Li said, "It was Yangyang and her friends who saved the National Day. ”
Mrs. Li nodded at the two of them, but soon focused her eyes on her son, and her concern was keen.
After waiting for a while, Li Guoqing hadn't woken up yet, and Zhong Yuemin was ready to leave.
"I haven't thanked you yet! Dr. Lee said.
"It's okay, it's all Chinese, it's right to help each other, there's no need to thank you." I have other things to do tomorrow, so I won't stay long. Zhong Yuemin declined.
Cui Yang also said: "Yuemin is here in New York on a business trip, and he will go back to Pittsburgh tomorrow, so you can let him go back." ”
"So you wait a while, now the security is too bad at night, I'll call a taxi and take you back." Dr. Li didn't allow Zhong Yuemin to refuse, so he went out to make a call.
At this time, Li Guoqing, who was blocking the hospital bed, woke up faintly, and saw Cui Yang as soon as he saw him, "Yangyang, are you back?"
"National Day, are you awake?" Mrs. Li saw that her son was awake, and hurriedly shouted outside: "Peace, my son is awake!
Dr. Li hurriedly ran back and saw Li Guoqing struggling to get up, "Guoqing, lie down and don't move first, I'll check it for you!"
Li Guoqing was pressed back to the bed, but his head kept facing Cui Yang, "Yangyang, where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"
"After getting off work, I went out for a walk, and I happened to meet my former good friends, so I chatted for a while. Cui Yang said: "By the way, let me introduce you, this is Zhong Yuemin, he saved you." ”
Li Guoqing did not thank him, but asked: "Is it your friend in the mainland? After so many years, people will change, you have to be careful!"
Cui Yang was a little angry, "Charles, I know my own friend, I don't need you to remind me! Also, if someone else saves you, you don't understand it, why do you want to slander others?"
"Yangyang, don't be angry!" Li Guoqing panicked and struggled to get up, "I care about you! I'm afraid that you will be deceived by others!"
"Then thank you for your concern!" Cui Yang turned his head to Zhong Yuemin and said, "Yuemin, since he's fine, let's go first!"
