Chapter 19 The moon is the hometown of Ming
"You're holding my dream girl so tightly!" John Wang sent a message.
"yes, I hugged her for you. Hai Yueming replied to John Wang in time, and couldn't forget to banterily anger him, "Today I am not only your eyes, but also your arms." β
The scene of the class reunion. Due to Lili's arrival, the bonfire party in the evening became even more hilarious. Singing and dancing to my heart's content, after getting tired, the supper began.
Reunion after a long absence, there are endless topics.
Glass after glass, drunk, so enjoyable.
John Wang also arrived in Guangzhou.
"I've arrived at the airport in Guangzhou. Now go to the Pearl River. The company's sales staff are gathering there, and I'm going to pay my respects. "John Wang is doing a live broadcast.
"Boss Wang has worked hard. Hai Yueming replied.
"Don't you know? Every pore of capital is the hard work and sweat of the bosses. John Wang uttered this.
"We're having a lot of fun here, too. When you get to the Pearl River, remember to open the video and talk to everyone. Are you going to Saigon? It's so beautiful to see the Pearl River at night!" Hai Yueming asked.
"yes. Oh, you have also done foreign trade, and you must have been there often in the Canton Fair before. I've always wondered, how could you think of coming back to teach after more than ten years of foreign trade?"
"Actually, teaching is very suitable for a person to do when he is older. Young and vigorous, it is not easy to teach with peace of mind, I was not confused back then, and with a little life experience, teaching is a good career. Isn't it simple to face the innocent eyes of children every day, without the deceit of the mall?"
"Then when will I go to teach?
"Of course, Dr. Wang. You have your own school, you can teach whatever you want, but don't mislead people. β
After a while, Hai Yueming asked everyone to make a video with John Wang. No one answered when they connected.
"He might be drunk, right?"
"No, it won't. He drank a lot. β
"Yes, I have been running a business for more than 20 years now, and I am a strong fighter for the test of alcohol. β
"I used to drink with customers, when didn't I get drunk and didn't go home?"
"Don't worry, he won't get drunk today, he is going to comfort his subordinates. Who's going to get the boss drunk? Let's drink and have fun!"
After a while, John Wang called back, "Don't be embarrassed, I was busy just now, I didn't hear it." I'm almost drunk. β
"It's okay, rest early, we have to fight tomorrow. β
Either fighting, or on the way to fight.
In life, I have been drunk countless times, woke up again, and drunk again......
Where does the wine wake up?
After 20 years, everyone seems to have a lot to say, and Hai Yueming and Hua Lili are classmates in three years of high school, and there are many topics to talk about.
Chatting and chatting, they left the courtyard of the B&B and took a walk on the country road while the moonlight was shining.
A round of bright moonlight fell on the silent mountains, and also on their bodies.
"The moonlight is beautiful!"
"Yes! Especially the moon of the hometown. As the saying goes, "The moon is the hometown of Ming".
"yes, you know who I miss most when I'm in a foreign country?"
"Who?" Hai Yueming was still curious.
"Of course it's you!
"Me?" Hai Yueming was slightly stunned.
"It's the moon, as the saying goes, "the moon is the hometown of Ming", of course, what I miss most is the bright moon of my hometown. β
"Haha, you're so humorous, it's a good thing you didn't say it in public just now, otherwise you would have made fun of it again. β
"It's okay, let's talk and laugh. Gorgeous is still so down-and-out and generous, as before, unchanged.
"How have you been all these years?"
"It's been okay in recent years. It was really hard in the first few years. How are our college students who studied abroad at that time like the people who go out now? We have to support ourselves, and the first problem is to support ourselves. β
"Yes, the students who go out nowadays are basically from better families, and almost all of them can provide hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Their lives are much less stressful than yours. β
"I came out that year with only five hundred dollars with me, and when I stepped on American soil, I was really confused, and I was thinking about what I was going to do in the future. In this unfamiliar country, people say that New York will definitely go to see the Statue of Liberty, but I haven't been out for a long time. β
Hai Yueming silently listened to Hua Lili tell her experience.
"At that time, I was very homesick, I missed the moon of my hometown, and sometimes I didn't have someone to talk to in a foreign country, and that kind of loneliness was something that those of you who had never experienced it could experience. β
"There are a few classmates I know who don't usually come and go, everyone is busy with their studies, and they all have to go to work to earn some living expenses in their free time. β
"I will also go to work to earn money. Go to a restaurant and wash dishes like everyone else. It was a very memorable experience in retrospect. β
"Maybe you've seen a TV series called "Pekingese in New York", but you can't see our Wenzhou TV in New York. β
"Now I don't know these stories. β
"On weekends I had to work and revise my schoolwork, and I would sit in church and read a book to save money, and I would look at a book in the background of someone reading the Bible and singing a hymn, just to get a free lunch. β
Hai Yueming listened to Hua Lili talk about the difficult experience after going to the United States, and couldn't help but be in awe of this seemingly thin beautiful girl, and secretly applauded her perseverance in her heart.
From majoring in languages to obtaining a doctorate, Huali spent nearly ten years, using her spare time to work part-time to solve her tuition and living expenses, which is not something that any girl can do.
"In fact, after all these years of studying and working hard outside, I regard you as my role model, you are a driving force in my heart, and I am indescribably grateful to you. "Gorgeous Li has been in the United States for many years, and I have also learned the American way of expressing gratitude honestly. She was already down-and-out and generous, and there was no hiding to express her gratitude to Hai Yueming.
"Oh!" Hai Yueming was stunned again, showing a slightly surprised look.
"Really, I mean to express my gratitude to you from the bottom of my heart. Hua Li continued, "Think about the time before I graduated from junior high school, I was very naΓ―ve here, and now I think back to that time I was stupid and naΓ―ve. β
"At that time, you liked art, you wanted to be an actor, you sang well, you sang well in Yue Opera. Hai Yueming also recalled the gorgeous situation in middle school.
"yes, I was really crazy about art during that time. I didn't pass a few art exams, and I went to Shanghai alone to find the Shanghai Film Translation Studio, and the famous voice actor still admired my recitation, but he thought I was too young to admit me, and asked me to go back and study culture hard. β
"It seems that after you came back from Shanghai, you settled down to study culture, and then you were admitted to the key high schools in the city. β
"yes, thanks to you. If you hadn't tutored me regularly and made up for my missed homework, I wouldn't have been able to get into that high school and be your classmate. β
"Back then, there weren't as many cultural tutoring classes as there are now, and you could hire tutors. But you're also very smart, and all of a sudden, your grades went up. β
"Thank you for that. At that time, you were a top student, who would I look for if I didn't look for you?" Hua Lili then said sincerely, "One day I will specially invite you to a meal to express my gratitude." β
"You're welcome, I'll treat you to a meal, and welcome you back to Dongzhou after a long absence. β
The two said politely to each other.
"Actually, you've already thanked me. Hai Yueming said.
"Oh, have you ever thanked me? Why don't I remember?"
"Oh, what do you see what this is?" Hai Yueming took out a pen from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Hua Li.
Hua Lili took the fountain pen from Hai Yueming's hand, looked closely, and immediately recognized that this fountain pen was a gift given to him when he was admitted to a key high school to show her gratitude to Hai Yueming.
In the white moonlight, the pen is still as good as new.
I remember that when I was in high school, Hai Yueming rarely used this fountain pen, not because he didn't like it, but because he was reluctant to use it, and he kept it as a precious gift.
This precious gift also symbolizes the innocent friendship between Hai Yueming and Huali when they were young.
The white moonlight shone on them, and they continued to walk along the country roads, as if there was no end to the words.
A gust of wind blew, bringing a hint of late autumn coolness, seeing that Hua Lili had taken off her coat very warmly by the campfire before going out for a walk just now, and now she was only wearing a thin sweater, Hai Yueming was afraid that she would be cold, so she hurriedly took off her suit jacket and put it on for her very gentlemanly.
Hua Lili felt a burst of warmth in her heart.
Huali thought that she had been alone in a foreign country for many years, and there was no one in her life who asked for warmth, and there was such a desire in her heart, When people reach such an age, it is time to find a home for their feelings.
Hai Yueming, what a man.
Hua Lili immediately denied herself in her heart, no, this idea is too ridiculous, he is such an excellent man, he should have already had his own emotional home, he should have married a wife and had children.
Think about going to school at that time, how naΓ―ve and innocent, and very few classmates fell in love at such a young age. So at that time, she and Hai Yueming had always been just good friends. In addition to the junior high school stage, occasionally classmates are coaxing their relationship, and because Hai Yueming often tutors her with her homework, they have more contact.
And then the rumors started to blow up, because they were really just tutoring.
John Wang, this amorous man.
Huali thought of this local tyrant classmate and wanted to laugh in her heart. It's hard to think about what happened to him in New York. John Wang didn't speak English, he couldn't even read the menu when he went to the restaurant, and when he went to order a burger, no one who happened to be present understood Chinese, he actually used body language such as hen eggs to express the meaning of the burger, and laughed at the diners in the whole restaurant.
Therefore, sometimes John Wang would be his volunteer interpreter when he was shopping in New York, as long as he was glamorous and free.
So John Wang had an excuse and opportunity to get in touch with Gorgeous Li.
