Chapter 42: Meeting in the Snow
"Uncle, today I made beef clear soup noodles, you can try it. ”
"Delicious, the soup is sweet and refreshing. The old man praised the authenticity.
In the past few days, my uncle and I take turns to share the meals made by each other, I always feel that eating the meals made by the uncle has the taste of the meals made by Wang Zi, every bite is nostalgic, in order to often miss such a taste, I also work hard to make delicious food to share with the uncle.
"Little girl, I'm flying to San Francisco tomorrow to prepare for next week's Christmas with my good friends, so I'll continue to cook with you when I get back. ”
"Doesn't the old man spend Christmas with his family?"
"My two sons are not in the United States, they each have their own careers to do, and my wife has been dead for a long time," the old man was silent for a while before continuing: "What about the little girl?
"My friends and I are going to go skiing in Colorado. ”
"You know how to ski?"
"I won't, I'm just going to join in the fun. ”
The old man smiled at me, lowered his head and continued to eat noodles, I also continued to eat noodles, the weather was getting colder and colder, I don't know if Ah Zi is doing well.
On the days of winter vacation, I had a mess, and the old man had been away for a few days, and after he left, I began to eat casually again, either instant noodles or bread, and I was about to leave for Colorado later, I sorted out my luggage and ate a piece of toast to fill my stomach
"Are you ready, I'm already waiting for you outside!" Peter asked me over the phone.
"Okay! I'll be out later. ”
Wang Zi was in Los Angeles for a meeting two days ago, and finally dealt with the matter to a paragraph, today I finally had time to go to see Luo Yan, the car drove halfway, but the people from the credit bureau called to inform that Luo Yan and his friends left the residence, and are currently at the airport, just pretending to be a tourist and chatting with them, only to know that they were going to the vail hotel to go on vacation and skiing for four days and three nights by the way to spend Christmas, Wang Zi hesitated for a while, then told the driver to go directly to the airport, and dialed a phone call to Lin Sheng, who was still in the Los Angeles branch to help deal with some trivial matters, "Help me get my bags back to the hotel and go straight to Colorado to meet me, remember to help me book a room at the Vail hotel, I'm going to stay for three nights. ”
"The manager is going to Colorado for a vacation?"
"Luo Yan is flying to Colorado right now, she's going to stay at the Vail Hotel for three days, I have to see her people, I have to find her wherever she goes. ”
"Okay, I'll finish the business assigned by the manager, and I'll rush over to meet you. ”
Tiny's boyfriend is Taylor, a sunny white man who likes Chinese culture and is very easy to get along with, and while waiting for the flight, the three of us talked and laughed, but Peter was relatively silent, "What's wrong with you?" I asked with a nudge on my elbow.
"I'm fine, I've stayed up late playing computer games for the past two days, and I'm a little tired. ”
Arriving at the Colorado airport around one o'clock in the afternoon, we rented a car and drove to the Vail Hotel, where Tini and her boyfriend booked a room and Peter and I each stayed in a room.
Because it will be more than two hours to check in, we first put our luggage at the counter, and then went to the restaurant to have afternoon tea and snacks, the four of us chatted easily, played with mobile phones, and the time passed, the waiter led us to their respective rooms, Peter and my room were adjacent, Tiny's room was on different floors, I put down the luggage and went out of the room.
"Where are you going?" asked Peter, calling out to me.
"Look around!"
Without waiting for him to catch up, I first took the elevator to the lobby downstairs, walked around, but saw a familiar figure in the distance, it was ...... I quickened my pace to get to him, but I was bumped into by a little girl who had just rushed in from outside the hotel, and when I made sure she was okay, I looked up again, and he was gone, and I was so anxious to look around but I didn't see him again.
"Yan Yan, what are you looking for?" Peter finally caught up.
"I seem to see my boyfriend. ”
"Where?"
"It's gone! A little girl bumped into me, and after a moment's delay, he was gone!"
"Maybe you're mistaken. ”
"Really?" I was puzzled, but after all, the chance of Ah Zi appearing here was really low.
"Let's go! Let's go skiing. ”
Peter is a master skier, and I am a first-time skier, he wears a snow cap, goggles, a mask and limb protection gear, and I just wear limb protection equipment and a snow cap, after the whole outfit, Peter had to stay in the beginner ski resort in order to cooperate with me, no matter how he taught, I fell on my back, and then I asked him to go to the advanced ski resort to play, don't waste time with me, I want to practice by myself.
After he left, I tried to practice sliding down, but unfortunately I couldn't stand firm and rolled to the bottom of the slope, so discouraged I simply sat at the bottom of the slope in a daze, and suddenly a man who was fully equipped, I couldn't see his face, stretched out his hand to me, as if he wanted to pull me, I shook his head at him, he still didn't give up, so I had to hand him his hand, and he pulled me up.
I said to him, "Thanks!" and he gestured as if to tell me he couldn't speak.
I smiled at him and said, "It's ok. ”
