Walking on the road, everything is new to Mr. Li. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shirtless muscular bodybuilders, teenagers slapping basketballs, snake charmers in speedo swimsuits and Sikh bards rollerblading, the promenade is bustling.

As you move along, you get away from the coast and the hustle and bustle, and the environment begins to become quieter.

The small town imitates the city of water, and there are Venetian canals with complex channels on its territory.

Unlike the water city, the waterways of the town are artificially developed, as the saying goes, "Venice cannot be made without water", and in order to reproduce the water city of Italy, the town originally made great efforts to attract seawater into the man-made canals in the city.

Li Du walked leisurely on the gravel road, next to the canal, where the Moyang of the early years of Venice is still preserved, and there are boatmen rocking the boats Gonzora, carrying tourists quietly on the artificial waterway.

The United States is a melting pot of immigrants, and most of the people who work here are Italian residents, so listening to fluent Italian, it is easy to mistake yourself for a water city.

Tucked away among the palm trees, the riverbank is lined with palm trees, and there are boutique hotels, cafes, yoga studios and art galleries, as well as antique shops and pawnshops.

These shops have the logo of the Warehouse Treasure Hunter Association, which means that workers in this industry are welcome to enter.

Li Du held back his curiosity and didn't go in, he wanted to go on vacation now and didn't want to touch work-related things.

Some seagulls and waterfowl stay in the river, and some sit on nearby row chairs and throw bread scraps to feed the birds.

Li Du also sat on the row of chairs, he first called his parents, told them that he was fine now, and then gave them another 50,000 yuan.

Li's father and mother were very happy that their son could make money in a foreign country, and he also made a lot of money.

However, Li's mother felt sorry for her son and said: "Xiao Du, don't report good news or bad news, tell your parents the truth, if there is something unpleasant in the United States, just tell your parents." ”

Li Du smiled: "I'm really good here, and I have a cat and a raccoon as pets, you and your father can live a good life at home." ”

When she was about to hang up the phone, Li's mother pondered for a moment and said, "What, Xiao Du, this year's New Year, will you go home?" ”

Last year, during the Chinese New Year, he happened to encounter the closure of the school, and he was upset and had many things, so he didn't go home for the New Year.

Hearing the thoughts in his mother's words, Li Du said heavily: "I must go back, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely go back for the New Year!" ”

Getting this promise, Li's mother smiled at home.

He hung up the phone, and a Mandarin with a thick southern accent rang out: "Young man, are you here to study in the United States?" ”

Li Du looked back and saw an old Chinese gentleman on crutches smiling at him.

So he smiled and said, "Yes, I came to study, but now I work." What about you? You're an old immigrant, aren't you? ”

The old man came over and sat down with a smile and said, "Yes, old immigrant, when the mainland fell in forty-nine years, he followed his elders to the United States, and this stay is a lifetime!" ”

As soon as Li Du heard it, he knew that the old gentleman's family background should be inseparable from the Kuomintang, otherwise he would not have said such a thing as 'the mainland has fallen'.

He avoided the topic and politely asked, "How did you feel when you came to the United States?" ”

The old gentleman knocked on the gravel road with his cane, and his wrinkled face showed a look of remembrance, and said, "How do you feel?" Being a stranger in a foreign land, although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. ”

Li Du said: "If you want to return to your hometown, then it's no problem to return to China now, the national policy is still very open." ”

The old gentleman smiled bitterly and said, "Where is there still a hometown?" I've been back, but the people I know are gone, the scenery has changed, and the whole village has been bulldozed and replaced with buildings. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head: "Now I can only comfort myself, saying that the place where my relatives are is my hometown, but in fact, I live in a barbarian land and are a group of ghosts - I'm sorry little brother, I'm making an old mistake and talking nonsense with you." ”

Li Du said politely: "No, I understand your feelings, but I think your family and children are here, so it's good to be with your family, right?" ”

Speaking of the back, he laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

People don't need him to comfort them, even if they miss their hometown, what about him? They are separated from family and friends.

In the middle of the river, Gongruola shuttles back and forth, many tourists are singing and laughing, and the water birds fly in flocks on the water, which looks very lively.

But the more lively it is, the more Li Du misses his parents.

Meow and Crisp Noodles, who were playing, noticed his mood change, and immediately ran over and got into his arms, Meow licked his chin with her tongue, and meowed and screamed in her mouth.

At this time, it was already sunset, and the fiery red sunset appeared in the sky, and the sun spread on the surface of the river, illuminating the rivers in fiery red.

He and the old gentleman did not introduce themselves, they just sat together and chatted without a word, and when the sun went down, they waved goodbye and parted.

After Li Du returned, Hans and the others were happily going out to go to the bar and ask him if he wanted to go together.

He was still a little depressed, so he shook his head and said, "You guys are really energetic, I'm a little sleepy, go back to sleep." ”

Hans said, "We have to get high in the evening, we are in the City of Angels!" If you want to sleep, tomorrow there is time, tomorrow we will go to Long Beach, go to the Sunshine Coast to bask in the sun and watch the beautiful women sleep! ”

Li Du said: "Then I have to recuperate, you go play, and the night's expenses will be credited to my account!" ”

After returning to the room, he pushed open the window to look at the river not far away, turned on his mobile phone and began to contact his old classmates and friends.

His college classmates also studied in the United States, but Mr. Li wanted to save face, and after the school was closed, he stopped contacting his classmates and friends.

After chatting with the homesick old gentleman today, he had some realizations and reconnected with his friends and classmates.

Of course, the main reason is that he is doing well now, earning 150,000 yuan in one auction, and he still has four or five million famous watches and five or six million in cash, so he unconsciously has confidence.

Their classmates have chat groups, which are used in foreign countries as well.

The time difference between the United States and China, Los Angeles uses the time zone of the West Coast, which is fifteen or sixteen hours slower than Beijing time, so Li Du is here in the evening, and in China it is noon, and his classmates are all there.

As soon as he appeared in the group, he only sent a greeting expression, and the group of classmates immediately exploded.

Yu Wenjie: [Shocked], damn, you're the wet man? Isn't it a stolen number?

Hu Haifeng: I'm dripping the sky, wet man, you came out? I've reported you as a missing person!

Li Zhihai: [Crying],, no one could contact you some time ago, and I thought you were lost in the United States, but you kid finally showed up!

Sunan: No problem......
