Later, everyone learned that the plates of cabbage for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner were planted in the garden by the master chef of the kitchen, but fortunately, this is the embassy, and no one cares if the garden is shoveled. It's just that the kitchen master has been making a bitter face the next morning, and only a little pickle is provided for breakfast.

"That master just now was so funny, he still had a bitter gourd face when he made porridge for us!" Xie Mei smiled at Zhong Yuemin while holding a plate.

Zhong Yuemin glanced at the master who was cooking for others, and found that this person looked like Guo Donglin, and they were all bald.

"Let's eat and drink to our heart's content, pat our butts and leave, and people still have to worry about the food after the embassy!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.

"That's better than us, at least they still have vegetable fields, and they can grow vegetables again in spring!" a person sitting next to him interjected.

"There are so many rules in this place in the United States!" someone at the same table answered: "There are coin-operated laundry machines in the school, and I thought to myself that it would cost me a dollar or two for two clothes, which is about ten dollars! And guess what?"

"You're from Beijing, too, right?"

"How do you know?"

"You Pekingese all talk the same way!" the questioner said, "No matter what you say, in the end, guess what?

That person learned quite similarly, and everyone present, whether they were from Beijing or not, was happy.

The international students in Beijing smiled and said, "Hey! I have been talking like this since I was a child, and I am used to it!"

"No, what happened to you? Don't talk halfway!"

Someone at the other table interjected: "What else can I do, I was found by the police!"

"Why are there still police officers coming to the door?

"Dude, you've been recruited too, haven't you?" asked the international student in Beijing who interjected at the other table.

The man smiled sheepishly.

"Many places in the United States have laws prohibiting drying clothes, and as soon as I dry my clothes outside, someone will immediately call the police!" The Beijing student laughed at himself: "I have to say good things to the police for a long time, and people are also considerate of me when I just came here, otherwise I have to be fined 1,000 US dollars!"

"Ah, so many? This American cop is really dark!"

"That's not it, the American police are different from our people's police, our police talk about the situation of the police and the people, and the American police are really violent, if you are a little emotional, people will put their hands on the gunshot wound and step back. The Beijing student foamed at the mouth and said: "Those who have been soldiers must know that it is to give up the shooting distance and be ready to shoot at any time, that is a real fun!"

Everyone sighed and lamented that the United States is really a capitalist country.

"No, how do you know so well?" someone asked suddenly.

"It's not me, it's not me!" Beijing students hurriedly said, "There are a few old Mo in the dormitory next door to us who have a big party at night, noisy, someone called the police, and then I went to see the excitement, Lao Mo didn't listen to the warnings of the police, and the police almost pulled out their guns!"

Zhong Yuemin asked with a smile: "You were the only one who watched the excitement at that time, right?"

The Beijing international student turned around and said, "How do you know?"

"The Yankees are nosy, but never look at the buzz. Zhong Yuemin said: "If the police really rob them, it doesn't matter if you watch the excitement or not, as long as you feel that you are a threat to them, you will be killed in vain." ”

"That's what I'm talking about, buddy almost suffered a dumb loss!" Beijing student said: "I didn't know it at first, but then my roommate reminded me, and I laughed at him for being timid, and later I learned that the American police really robbed!"

At this time, Ambassador Tang stood up and said, "That's right, students, the laws and culture in the United States are completely different from those in China, and the laws of each state are also different. Of course, we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, and we are not afraid of causing trouble, and the embassy will always be the backing of our students!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The applause of the international students did not stop for a long time, and everyone was moved and relieved from the bottom of their hearts.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and eat, the Prime Minister's plane should arrive at noon, and we have to pick it up a little earlier. ”

······

Boarding the bus to the airport, Zhong Yuemin found that everyone was wearing a silver gun tweed coat customized in China, only he was wearing a sweatshirt and a military coat.

"Zhong Yuemin, why are you wearing a military coat again?" Ambassador Tang's assistant stood in front of the bus, and when he saw Zhong Yuemin's dress, he had a headache and said: "On such a formal occasion, you can get a suit, you can borrow it!"

"Renting a piece of clothing in a clothing store is too expensive, five dollars a day! I can't afford it!" Zhong Yuemin explained.

"No, where did you go?" said the ambassador's assistant, "I heard that you also applied for a scholarship at Carnegie Mellon University, and you didn't even have five dollars?"

Before Zhong Yuemin could defend himself, everyone in the car exclaimed, "How long has it been since you came here, and you have even applied for a scholarship?!"

"How much?"

"How did you apply for it, teach us!"

Everyone asked Zhong Yuemin for advice, obviously all of them were shy.

······

"Stop, stop, I'm talking about serious business!" The assistant saw the disturbance in the car and immediately interrupted everyone, "Zhong Yuemin, hurry up and talk about it, where is the money?

Everyone's eyes were focused on the sweatshirt Zhong Yuemin was wearing, and Nike's big hook was on his chest.

"I'm a second-hand dress, found in the flea market, twenty cents, almost brand new!" Zhong Yuemin stood up and showed everyone, "My pants are too, fifteen cents." ”

"Where's the flea market?" someone shouted, "I'm going to get some clothes, I'm freezing to death!"

"Haha······"

Zhong Yuemin said: "In our school, students and professors are all participating, you can only go to your own school to see if there is one!"

"Yuemin, you even pick up second-hand clothes, where did you spend your scholarship?" More people still care about money.

"I bought all the books!" Zhong Yuemin complained, "The American Empire is not as expensive as books, and any book costs dozens of dollars, which is really black-hearted!"

"That's the same, especially the textbooks in the school!" someone chimed in: "As soon as I entered the school, I saw a lot of people selling books there, and I thought to myself, why doesn't Lao Mei cherish books so much?!"

Later, I learned that these textbooks have to be bought at their own expense, and they are very expensive, so they can only buy second-hand ones, and continue to sell them to the lower grades when they run out of the senior grades, otherwise no one will be able to afford to read them in a few years!"

"Capitalism is capitalism, and even college textbooks have to earn students money!"

"I asked, it's called intellectual property! Do you know what that means?"

"What do you mean, hurry up!"

"It means that this knowledge can be used to repay the money! The textbooks are all written by professors, and they are all other people's knowledge, and if you want to learn it, you have to spend money, and it can't be cheap!" The man replied: "Those professors are rich men with a few books! The better they write, the more people who read them, the richer they are!"

"What else is going on?"

The crowd in the car began to discuss fiercely again.

······

The ambassador's assistant walked up to Zhong Yuemin, "Zhong Yuemin, when you get to the airport in a while, you hide in the back." ”

"Why?" Xie Mei questioned in front of Zhong Yuemin.

"Why? Look at him, the whole bourgeois brother!" the assistant said impatiently: "The main thing is to let the domestic leaders see it, what should they think?"

"······" Xie Mei still wanted to argue with him, but was stopped by Zhong Yuemin: "When the time comes, I'll go to the back more, don't you worry that I'll poke you in the basket." ”

The ambassador's assistant then left and found a place to sit.

"Yuemin, why are you afraid of him?!" Xie Mei said angrily: "Ambassador Tang didn't say anything, he is an assistant, holding chicken feathers as an arrow!"

"Forget it, save some effort, he can't make it, he's also afraid of leaks. Zhong Yuemin was very calm, ready to close his eyes and recuperate.

"Hey, Yuemin, how many scholarships did you get?"

"More than three thousand. Zhong Yuemin replied, still thinking that Lao Mei is really stingy, and he will give three thousand in a semester, what is enough?

"Three thousand!" Xie Mei exclaimed, the annual allowance given by China is less than 5,000 US dollars, and Zhong Yuemin got 3,000 at once, which is really enviable.

Xie Mei pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Yuemin, what books did you buy? Three thousand dollars is not enough?"

"I buy all kinds of books, as long as I think it's interesting, I think there are more than a thousand copies. Zhong Yuemin thought about the stacked books under the bed in the dormitory.

"So many?" Xie Mei thought for a moment, "Even if you buy all the second-hand books, it will be more than three thousand!

"It's all spent, and I'm living on the hundreds of dollars I brought from home now. ”

"Ah!" Xie Mei was surprised, remembering that she had borrowed a lot of money from Zhong Yuemin in Paris, and hurriedly said: "I still have some money here, I'll pay you back some first." ”

"Forget it. Zhong Yuemin waved his hand, "Your little allowance is just enough to eat, if you want to pay me back, will you drink the northwest wind?"

"Then what are you going to do? This year has just begun!" Xie Mei worried.

"Sensei is worried about me, I've been on the list of American girls recently, eating and drinking every day, and I can't die of hunger!"

Xie Mei was dumbfounded, believed it, and said anxiously: "Yuemin, how can you do this? You ······ like this."

"What am I doing? I call it self-reliance!" Zhong Yuemin replied.

"But you're so immoral!" Xie Mei blushed, as if she was ashamed and angry.

"Haha, I didn't sacrifice hue, I just cooked Chinese food for others, and solved my own eating problem by the way. Zhong Yuemin thought that Mei was really anxious, and it was not good to tease her anymore.

Xie Mei suddenly blushed, but still confirmed uneasily: "Are you really cooking for people?"

"Really, American girls don't like my physique, they like the kind of strong men with muscles all over the place. ”

"Looks like an ape-man, what's so beautiful?!" Xie Mei muttered, but she was still relieved.

······

When the Prime Minister appeared at the door of the cabin, the entire airport was boiling!

Not only the first batch of students to study in the United States, but also many overseas Chinese, the US government also held a grand welcoming ceremony.

The Prime Minister is not a tall man, but he has the demeanor and charm of a leader of a great country, and this time he came to the United States with sincerity and friendship, and he also hopes to gain the friendship of the Americans.

And Zhong Yuemin knew he did it!

"Yuemin, the Prime Minister shook hands with me just now! Did you see it? And he is going to meet us tonight! Do you know?" Xie Mei said to Zhong Yuemin excitedly, but found that Zhong Yuemin was distracted, so she pushed him, "Yuemin?"

"Huh?"

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm sorry. Zhong Yuemin said bitterly.

Xie Mei wondered: "What do you regret?"

"I shouldn't be reluctant to pay for a suit!" Zhong Yuemin looked at the second-hand sweatshirt on his body, "A few of you have come to the front, and I am left behind, and I can't see clearly from a distance!"

"Haha, it's too late to regret it now!" Xie Mei couldn't do it.

"Zhong Yuemin!"

"Zhong Yuemin!"

An urgent call was heard in the distance, and a figure quickly ran through the crowd towards Zhong Yuemin.

"Yuemin, I've found you!"

"What's wrong?

"Something's wrong!" the ambassador's assistant pulled Zhong Yuemin and ran out, "Hurry up and follow me!"

"What's the matter?" Zhong Yuemin stood in a figure-eight step, and the assistant was stunned that he couldn't pull him alive.

The assistant had no choice but to explain to him: "The Prime Minister has a banquet in the evening, and he wants to see you by name, so you can hurry up and prepare with me!"

"I'm not wearing a suit or coat!

"Oh my God!" The assistant looked at Zhong Yuemin's colorful match, and had a headache, "Let's go, go and borrow one for you!"

······

In fact, the so-called preparation is that the staff will give him some simple training, informing him of the interview time, prohibited behaviors and confidentiality regulations.

These Zhong Yuemin didn't care, the only thing that was upset was that because he had to wait in advance, he had to leave the banquet early, and he didn't eat the next few hard dishes.

Finally, it was not until the Prime Minister finished his toast and met with several important overseas Chinese representatives that it was Zhong Yuemin's turn.

The Prime Minister is very energetic, he has been on a plane for more than ten hours, and he has dealt with so many things, and when he saw Zhong Yuemin, his face was still red, and he didn't look like an old man who was over the age of old.

"Hello Prime Minister!"

"Okay, okay, you're used to being in the U.S., aren't you?"

"I'm not used to it, I'm not used to eating!" Zhong Yuemin said truthfully.

The staff next to the prime minister were stunned, where did the flugled boy come from!

"Haha!" the Prime Minister laughed heartily, "I was not used to eating in France, only croissants were more similar to fritters, so I ate bread all day long!

"Eat potatoes, baked potatoes, fried potatoes, mashed potatoes. Zhong Yuemin replied: "Potatoes are the staple food in the United States, the cheapest, with high starch content and can satisfy hunger." ”

"As far as I know, you don't need to save money, do you?" said the Prime Minister with a smile: "Everyone else is a poor student, but you are a little expert in economics!"
