Chapter 040: A Strange Encounter

Xu Shuang's twenty-day summer job was torture for Chen Chi.

He couldn't contact her online during the day, so he called at night, but Xu Shuangchuan felt that there was nothing new day after day, and he usually clamored to hang up after a few words, after all, Lao Chenchi made international calls every day, and she would not be happy.

There is a behavior called love and shortness of breath, Chen Chi has been wanting to listen to her voice more recently, there are no new serious topics, and Hu Kanhai chatting is also successful, but he thought that Xu Shuangchuan needed to go to bed early and get up early, and he couldn't help but be considerate.

If the little cousin wants to be a fart worm and cry behind their gang of wild boys, he generally does not pity, either he accelerates and runs, and shakes off the little tail without looking back, or he really can't get over his conscience, he pulls up his cousin's little thin arm and drags it away, or he simply hugs the little dwarf, so that she doesn't care if she chokes on while laughing.

He is an only child, and the only girl from his relatives is the little cousin, and he is not meticulous to his cousin, let alone the little girls from other families in the family area.

But for Xu Shuang, he seems to have changed his appearance, and he is very concerned.

But the feeling of not being concerned made him sadly realize that this summer has become long and stuffy.

There is only one week left in the summer vacation.

Chen Chi finally finished the work on the professor's side, but Xu Shuangchuan still had three days to finish.

Chen Chi planned to visit her in three days, and he went to Chinese stores and supermarkets one after another, wanting to choose some practical and novel small gifts for Xu Shuangchuan, and he couldn't always give chocolates.

Mr. Zhang from the french fry shop called: "Chen Chi, are you free lately?"

"Brother Zhang, what is the matter with the free past two days?" asked Chen Chi.

Mr. Zhang and his wife own a convenience fries shop in the city. Chen Chi once passed by his french fry shop, happened to be hungry, and met the couple when he entered.

Mr. Zhang is nearsighted, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and looks like a very elegant middle-aged uncle. However, when he invited Chen Chi to dinner, he sighed infinitely, thinking that he had just crossed the ocean to develop here, and he was also a stout man with a physique Zhang Fei, who did not understand all kinds of language and customs, and after years of hardship, he became such a thin strip. His wife was quite blessed, and Mr. Zhang joked that it was from eating too many of his own fried fries and blowing them out.

Chen Chi introduced a few classmates to try Zhang's fries, and he became more familiar with Mr. Zhang, and they were in touch from time to time.

Mr. Zhang is very envious of students like Chen Chi, he always said that science and technology have progressed, the times are different, in the past, he just wanted to call home to report safety, it was also difficult, now listen to Chen Chi's classmates talk about going home during the holidays, book a ticket for a few minutes, take a nap on the plane for more than ten hours, and open your eyes to the door.

"Actually, it's not that easy, and we can't just go back if we want to. Chen Chi once told Mr. Zhang.

"It's better than when we did. Mr. Zhang sighed.

Originally, the international students did not have much intersection with the Chinese circle like Mr. Zhang, but after Chen Chi met Mr. Zhang, the two looked a little forgetful. Mr. Zhang has only returned to his hometown twice since he immigrated.

The most recent one was on the winter solstice last year, when the ancestral tomb encountered real estate development and needed to be reburied, several cousins informed him, he closed the french fry shop, simply gave himself a Christmas vacation, and took his wife back to his hometown.

After coming back, he met Chen Chi and chattered a few words, shook his head and sighed: "The children of my relatives said that I was dressed dirty, and I ate all the dishes at the dinner table, and laughed at me behind my back." ”

Chen Chi smiled and gave him an analysis: "Brother Zhang, I have a Mexican classmate, it is said that it is not popular in their hometown to eat all the dishes, and it is always customary to leave a little on the plate when visiting the door, so that the host's meal is rich." Sometimes it's just that the concept is different, so the approach is different. But waste is really not good. As for Tuma, I was also told by relatives when I went back, and they asked me why I always wore jeans, and I couldn't take them out if they wanted to arrange a blind date for me. ”

Mr. Zhang smiled and asked, "Chen Chi, did you go on a blind date?"

"No, if you don't start a business, you can't start a family. Chen Chi said casually.

Mr. Zhang likes to talk about domestic customs and nostalgia the most.

He has a good appetite for Chen Chi, who has a hearty personality, no, he came to ask Chen Chi:

"Oh, you're free. There is a chamber of commerce in China that has held a jewelry and jade exhibition here, and wants to find someone to translate on the spot, do you want to go?"

"Jewelry and jade? Brother Zhang, I don't know the goods myself, how can I translate? I'm afraid I can't do it wrong. Chen Chi smiled and declined.

"The exhibits have already prepared a large introduction, so there is no need to worry about this. Translation is to guide the customers who visit the exhibition, you can come. ”

On this day, the jewelry exhibition ended successfully, but Chen Chi was only invited by others to go to a Chinese restaurant for a meal.

It was already eight o'clock when he returned to the apartment, and it was long past the old time when he and Xu Shuangchuan were on the phone. He pulled out the key and entered the door, taking three steps up the wooden staircase in two steps while tapping his phone.

Xu Shuangchuan hasn't arrived home yet, and what happened to her this night is very peculiar.

The train came back very smoothly, but she had a friend who had just completed a bicycle cross-country trip with someone else, and it was said that he was dark and thin, and he had suffered enough, and all kinds of unspoken hardships along the way, such as holding urine, not taking a bath for three days, etc., came back just for his birthday, so he wanted to complain about the birthday dinner.

Xu Shuang couldn't come to the door empty-handed, so she turned to the supermarket, bought the steak she had coveted for a long time, and took it to a friend's house. The fried steak was later completed by a girl with high and bold art in the form of fried pork cutlets, and Xu Shuangchuan was still satisfied.

Wait for my friend to finish his travel log at length, and everyone leaves. Xu Shuangchuan rode her bicycle home, of course, it was already dark, and she went on the road alone.

The dinner parties are all girls, each going back to their own homes, and there is no reason for anyone to send whom.

A moped drove on, two men in front of him and one in the back, both young. Before Xu Shuang descended, her speed slowed down significantly, which scared her into a panic.

"Police. The one in front of him raised his hand.

Xu Shuangxia's heartbeat almost stopped at that time, she had never seen a police officer patrolling in plainclothes on a motorcycle, and she was very scared that there were few pedestrians on the road at such a late hour.

So she did a very stupid thing, she automatically stopped, and then this detail was told to Chen Chi, and he was so big about preaching, and then after the two confirmed the relationship, they happened to talk about it again, and Chen Chi finally scolded her half to death without any scruples.

The two people didn't respond when they saw Xu Shuangzhuanmu stunned, stopped in front of Xu Shuangzhuan, and began to explain word by word, and cooperated with gestures: "There is a police officer in front, there is a bridge cave, your car lights are not on, be careful." ”

Only then did Xu Shuangchuan understand that her headlights had indeed failed in the past two days, because it did not affect her commuting to and from work during the day, and she didn't have time to change to a new one, so she wanted to hold on until the end of her summer job. But in fact, she violated the traffic law, and the headlights of the bicycle were used to alert vehicles and pedestrians at night.

Xu Shuangchuan didn't expect that two passers-by who didn't know each other would remind her so kindly, and she was grateful again and again: "Thank you, thank you." ”

The two men waved their hands and drove away on their motorcycles.

Xu Shuangchuan was worried all the way, and he was a hundred meters away from the bridge and cave, so he pushed the car away. The police blocked her way, and at this time it was dark, and she had nowhere to go, and she could not get around, so she could only walk forward. The lights must be on when riding, she didn't ride, the lights don't come on, she should be fine, right?

Xu Shuang was not able to eat, and he was particularly frightened.

After crossing the bridge hole, sure enough, there were two policemen standing majestically on the side of the road, wearing uniforms, looking tall and handsome. The street lights are not very bright, dusk and yellow, but Xu Shuangchuan can tell that the police are staring at her, because she is the only one on the road, and she is pushing a bicycle tremblingly.

Xu Shuangchuan thought, the police must not be stupid, who has a car and does not ride, pushing and walking? She was afraid that the police would come over and stop her, and she had to be reprimanded and educated at the lightest, and it would be hard to say anything serious.

Chen Chi's call was so coincidental that it came.
