Two people who slept in the daytime, more excited at night, at Fisherman's Wharf, after eating an authentic American seafood dinner, also drove a night tour of San Francisco, two young Asians, driving such an elegant and solemn style of open-top luxury car, not to mention, the return rate is really good.

Looking at the different scenery and crowds around her, Huang Jingping was always a little unsteady, "Are we here to settle down in the United States again?"

"Why do you say again?"

"You see, in '98, we were in the city, in '99, we went to the capital, and in '01, we went to the United States," Huang Jingping counted with her fingers, "You say, in two years, where will you take me?"

This is really, but, after ending a year's exchange career here and giving birth to a little monkey at the same time, if Huang Jingping also returns to China, she will definitely not return to the capital, at that time, SARS will break out imminently, how to let her stay in the capital with the pink little monkey?

"What, don't you like it?"

"Hehe, as long as I'm with you, I like it everywhere," Huang Jingping quickly kissed him on the face.

"But, where are we?" Feng Yiping immediately found that he believed in the reins and didn't know where he had gone.

After asking for directions a few times, he finally turned out of the main city, just like Feng Yiping's first visit, Huang Jingping was also not used to the quietness of other places, it should be said that it was deserted, "It's only past nine o'clock,"

The mountain road home is even quieter, although the street lights are very bright, and at the end of the roadside path, there are also brightly lit houses, but there are no people on the road, not even a dog, and all they hear now is the sound of insects in the woods.

Finally, there was a car coming down the hill in front. It was an open-top Porsche sports car, and when we got into it, the guy in the gray shirt stopped and said hello, "You must be our new neighbor?

"Feng. Nice to meet you!" Feng Yiping greeted him with a smile, this was their first neighbor to face.

"Listen to Mike, you just came to the United States, if you need help, call me,"

This seems to be a very enthusiastic buddy, but, you say it so nicely, you should leave a phone call down!

If it's in the country. Feng Yiping would usually ask politely, "Why are you going?" But this is the United States, where privacy is more important than breathing, and it is better not to ask.

"It's not as cold as the legend suggests," Ms. Huang said.

Although the two of them have lived in the villa area of the capital for so long, the names of their neighbors are still not very accurate.

"In every community, there are probably one or two enthusiastic people. Feng Yiping said with a smile.

Whether it's him or her, these two goods. I don't know anything about how neighbors in the United States get along with each other, and I think that I live my life behind closed doors, I don't bother you, and you don't care about me.

…………

"Ding-dong," the doorbell rang. Huang Jingping was preparing lunch in the kitchen, and Mike said that he would bring Lisa over, "Yiping, go open the door,"

As soon as the door opens. A neatly cleaned woman in a blue dress stood at the door, holding a plate in both hands, and a little girl in a princess dress stood next to her, "Hello, you must be Feng, I'm Kate, the third one on the right below, here are some cookies I baked, congratulations on your housewarming,"

Feng Yiping took the big plate a little ignorantly and let them inside, "Two of you, please come in,"

"Don't bother," Kate smiled and took a note from her daughter's hand, "This is my husband Harry's number,"

Oh, it turned out to be the mother-in-law of that buddy yesterday.

"Then you wait a minute," Feng Yiping rummaged through the room for a while, and from the box of clay figurines he had brought over, he picked out a fat doll riding on a buffalo, "this one is for you," he said to Harry's daughter, bending down.

"Wow, this is so exquisite," Crooked Nuts is fond of these characteristic folk gadgets of our Great Celestial Empire, "Annie, what are you supposed to say?"

"Thank you!" the little girl said sweetly to Feng Yiping.

Kate's visit seemed to be a signal, and then, the door of Feng Yiping's house was constantly knocked, and they all stood at the door and said a few words briefly, and then sent a plate of snacks made by themselves, and the box of clay sculptures that they brought, and after a while, it was clean.

When Lisa came with Mike, she also brought a snack, which was a cake she made herself, and they were obviously not surprised when they looked at the things on the table, "Looks like you're going to prepare a party," Mike said with a smile.

"Do you have to do it? Can I pay a return visit?"

"It's tradition," Mike said with a little amusement as he watched the young boss embarrass him.

"It's very simple," Lisa helped him set the dishes and chopsticks, "you set a day, set up a tent in the front yard, prepare some snacks, drinks and drinks, and have a seafood barbecue, and those who come to participate will also bring some food themselves,"

"Hehe, then let's try it, let's follow the customs!" "Where to go to the mountain, what song to sing, when you get here, you can only do it according to their rules."

"Yiping, help me serve the food," Huang Jingping walked out with a plate of pot helmet tofu.

Western food, definitely can't compare to Lisa, what they prepared today are all authentic Chinese dishes, for example, there are fish-flavored shredded pork, sour and hot shredded potatoes, and kung pao chicken.

In order to take care of the pair of children they brought, they also made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and steamed shrimp with broccoli.

"Is this authentic Chinese food? It's different from what you eat in Chinatown," Mike can eat spicy, but his chopsticks are really poor, and it takes a long time to get it right.

"You better use a spoon," Feng Yiping pointed to the spoon he had set aside.

"It's delicious," Lisa said, "and it's a healthier diet than ours, less meat, and more vegetarians."

In fact, we also eat meat, and we originally wanted to fry a pot of meat, but I was afraid that you would not be used to it.

"Mike, is your community the same?The neighbors are so welcoming?" Feng Yiping really didn't believe it, his country is known as a humane society, and now the neighborhood relationship is becoming more and more indifferent, this interest-oriented United States, will the neighbors be so good?

"Well," Mike seemed a little embarrassed, "it's like a convention that every new neighbor comes in, everybody welcomes it." ”

Mike actually didn't say a word, especially in such a downturn, neighbors who can still invest in this field, everyone will definitely want to have a good relationship with you.

"I understand that even in normal times, I still keep an appropriate distance, right?"

"Yes," Mike nodded.

"What do we need to pay attention to when we interact with our neighbors?" asked Huang Jingping.

"It's actually simple, try not to disturb others," Lisa said.

"There is a proverb, 'the home of an Englishman is his castle', don't take the initiative to visit without being invited, if you do need to visit, it is better to call in advance to make an appointment, and try not to call your neighbors before 7 o'clock in the stove and after 10 o'clock in the evening. Mike added.

"Also, keep your yard tidy, like a lawn, and mow it once a week in summer," Lisa added.

"If you go to a bar or café together, don't rush to pay. "I won't, but I'm generally okay with others rushing to pay.

"Also, if you have pets, you have to manage them well in the future," he added.

…………

Feng Yiping felt that the United States, which is very free and peaty, actually does not seem to live freely in China.

Moreover, everyone is so enthusiastic today because they are new to the settlement, and if they hadn't been neighbors for a long time, they wouldn't have known what their neighbors were doing.

"But," may have seen that they didn't look good, Mike said, "and they were happy to share things with their neighbors, like, which gardener was good."

On this point, Feng Yiping didn't react for a long time, "What's wrong with you?"

"I seem to have thought of something," Mr. Feng said.

Whether in the United States or at home, neighborly relations are becoming more and more indifferent, and the reason is actually very simple.

Although the society is getting more and more progressive, but at the same time, everyone's pressure is also increasing, usually after getting home from work, tired like a dead dog, can't worry about their own affairs, how can they have the energy to care about other people's affairs.

Besides, if it's a neighbor, it's inevitable that there will be a bump, if the relationship is too good at times, when there is a conflict, it's not easy to turn your face and be ruthless, right?

This keeping a distance is actually a kind of protection for yourself.

However, later on, the major social media in the United States were all very popular, and they should be very fond of socializing, so can they make a fuss about this? )
