Pushing the luggage cart, Lu Li quickly found the parking place of the raptor and put all the luggage in the rear body, which was really convenient. www.biquge.info However, after all, pickup trucks are tool cars, and if the family often comes and goes in the future, it is more appropriate to buy an SUV.

Lu Li watched his father and mother sit in the back seat, did not rush to get into the car, opened the rear door, and pointed to them, "You must fasten the seat belt, otherwise the video will be filmed, and you will be fined." "Lu Li doesn't know what the law and order provisions are here in California, anyway, it's like this in Texas, and there will be subtle differences in the legal provisions between every state in the United States, in short, safety first.

After confirming that the seat belt was fine, Lu Li sat in the driver's seat and skillfully began to reverse.

Song Lingyi felt that such a son was very strange and interesting, and watched Lu Li reverse with great interest, which made Lu Li cry and laugh a little, "Mom, do you think I'm very handsome like this?"

These words made Song Lingyi laugh out loud, "Look at your beauty." Not really. If you want to say handsome, you can't compare to your father, I'm strange, your father and I are both very good-looking, why did you get tasteless here. The full-fledged spit immediately made Lu Li surrender, "I'm still wondering now, you must be the nurse who hugged the wrong one." ”

"Dad!" Lu Li protested seriously.

Lu Huaijin is sitting firmly on Mount Tai, "I think what your mother said is very reasonable." ”

Lu Li looked at the two elders from the rearview mirror, speechless for a while, and he decided to give up resistance.

"I just think you're a stranger to look like this, and you've really grown up. Song Lingyi cut the topic back again. At home, none of them bought a car, not because they couldn't afford it, but because they didn't need it at all in the small county, and Lu Li didn't take a driver's license test in China, so he took the American driver's license after coming here to study. Therefore, this is the first time Song Lingyi has seen Lu leave the car, and the feeling is indeed different. "Your grandmother would be very excited if she saw it. ”

"Then why don't you let grandma come with you this time?" Lu Li immediately answered, "Grandma doesn't like to travel the most, she always talks about wanting to go to YN, going to SX, wanting to go to SC and BJSH or something." And my grandmother also misses the family's old farmland very much, so it's not good to let her come over. ”

Lu Li is an only child, and there are only two of the four old people in the family left, and his grandparents died of illness when he was a child, and now only his grandfather and grandmother are still alive. However, my grandfather's health has not been very good in recent years, and there is no major problem, but there are always small problems such as high blood pressure, waist pain, and colds.

Lu Li's relationship with his grandmother is very close, Lu Li's grandfather is a patriarchal and attaches great importance to his only grandson, and his feelings for Lu Li's grandson are mediocre. But grandma likes Lu Li very much, and has been very fond of him since he was a child, every time he causes trouble, Lu Li runs to his grandmother's house, and he will definitely be able to save the day.

The ring on the little finger of his left hand was secretly given to Lu Li by his grandmother, and there are really many cousins in the family, but no one else has it.

"It's not your grandfather yet. Song Lingyi also sighed, "He felt that he would definitely not be able to bear the long-distance flight, his body could not bear it, and the road was so far away, it was too troublesome on the road, he didn't want to say anything, and even scolded me." ”

Lu Huaijin patted his wife's thigh, "The journey is indeed quite long, and it is the first time for us to go far away, so we don't understand anything." I also encountered an accident today, didn't we? When we get acquainted, we will bring my parents over next time, anyway, Lu Li has always been here, and his grandmother will definitely be willing to come. ”

Listening to this brief conversation, Lu Li remembered a memory from his childhood. It was about the third or fourth grade of primary school, when my grandfather's health was still healthy, and once my mother discussed with my aunt and uncles, and we pooled a sum of money to let my grandfather and grandmother go to Dali and Lijiang to have a trip to celebrate their wedding anniversary.

Grandma was naturally very happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't be lowered all day long, but my grandfather was unwilling, unwilling to live or die, feeling that YN's place was too far away, and it must be troublesome to travel tirelessly. In the end, at the insistence of his stubborn grandfather, the trip did not come to fruition. When Lu Li went home, he saw his grandmother sitting next to the stove wiping her tears, and when she found him coming, her grandmother said that her eyes were burned by the fire.

"Mom, I'll call Brother Kong Ming when I go back and ask him to convince Grandpa, then it will definitely be no problem. Lu Li said, Song Kongming is Lu Li's eldest cousin, that is, the only grandson of the Song family's generation, very precious, if you want to convince your grandfather, Song Kongming is the only way, "If Brother Kong Ming is willing, let him and his sister-in-law come over, and his grandfather will not refuse." ”

Lu Li thought about it, even if his grandfather was unwilling, he would go home in person and bring his grandmother over. He knew that his grandmother would love it.

If you think about it carefully, in fact, grandma is an outlier in the ravines and ravines at home, she is a beautiful lady, not only can read and write, but also can write poems, a good embroidery is famous, housework is even more handy, neat, mother and two aunts all combined, plus Lu Li's aunt, can not reach grandma alone. But my grandmother always had the dream of going out to see, when she was a child, she told Lu Li that the world is very big, too big to imagine, she has always regretted that she has no culture, no opportunity to appreciate the world.

"By the way, have you called home to report your safety?" Lu Li took out his mobile phone and handed it over, "It's ten o'clock in the morning at home now, let's send a WeChat message to my aunt." ”

Song Lingyi took the phone, fiddled with it, and then took a photo of Lu Li, because the flash was not turned off, which startled Lu Li, "What's wrong?"

"Take a picture of you driving and show it to your aunt. Song Lingyi said with a smile.

Lu Li shook his head speechlessly, and Lu Huaijin's voice came, "Where is this outside? It looks like it's finally a little bit of a foreign feeling." ”

The style and characteristics of Los Angeles International Airport are not obvious, there is no distinct feeling of "foreign", and after entering the city, it is gradually different, Lu Li glanced outside, "This is Venice Beach, not the Venice of Italy, just called this name." This entire stretch of coast is one of the most beautiful on the West Coast, and you can drive all the way to San Francisco. There are also many sandy beaches here, Venice is the most visited one, and then drive down the road to see different styles of sand. ”

Although this is Lu Li's first time in Los Angeles, he still did a lot of homework in advance and took his parents on a tour, and he was the narrator and tour guide.

Lu Huaijin leaned against the window and looked at the scenery of the high sea that day, "This place looks like an island, not a city." ”

"That's one of the things about Los Angeles. Lu Li skillfully drove down the viaduct and into the city, not only Lu Huaijin, but Song Lingyi also put down his mobile phone and looked at it, "Why are the streets here so wide? ”

In fact, the streets of New York are also very spacious, but there are too many people, and they always seem crowded, and the population of Los Angeles is second only to New York, but the city area is much larger than that of Manhattan Island, and the overall visual effect is naturally different.

Lu Li slowed down the car slightly, and introduced Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi to the customs and buildings on both sides. For the two of them, it was not only the first time to travel, but also the first time to go abroad, everything was new, everything would be compared with the situation at home, which reminded Lu Li of the situation when he first arrived in New York - at this point, it has nothing to do with age, and they are all the same for the exploration and curiosity of unknown new things.

The greater Los Angeles area is huge, but the city of Los Angeles is easily accessible from the airport, which is less than a 20-minute drive away.

However, safety in Los Angeles is also very problematic, with Koreatown and Chinatown in XC always having problems, and a few streets away are slums, and even Venice Beach is full of gangsters. When choosing accommodation, Lu Li chose the relatively safe West Hollywood district of the city, which is at the foot of Beverly Hills, where the residents are basically middle-class and white-collar elites, and the location of the land is also very central, and it is more convenient to go to various tourist attractions.

It took only 30 minutes to arrive in West Hollywood.

Parking the car in the parking space on the side of the road, Lu Li turned his head, "Okay, we're here." ”

Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi were a little surprised, and Lu Huaijin opened his mouth and asked, "Do we live here?"

This is not a hotel, but a residential area, the kind of single-family villa seen in American dramas, with a lawn in front and a faint garden in the back. At this moment, the realism of being in a foreign country finally becomes relevant.

"No, I rented a house online. Lu Li explained with a smile that his parents were here for a vacation this time, and of course everything was based on comfort. Although it is convenient to stay in a hotel, the overall atmosphere is still too formulaic, and rest is not necessarily peaceful. "Here, if you don't get used to eating, you can do it yourself at home, I checked the map, the supermarket is two streets away, less than five minutes by car. ”

The most important thing is that Lu Huaijin can get a good rest and relaxation, this is the "taste of home", not the commercialization of hotels, and there is no noise of tourists.

"Lu Li, is it expensive here? Don't spend money indiscriminately. Song Lingyi said worriedly.

Lu Li looked outside, the street was very quiet, completely away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist area, the peace of daily life was very satisfying, "Mom, you have supported me since I was a child, this time I came on vacation, let me show my son's demeanor, okay? Lu Li opened the car door, and then opened the back door, "Aren't you excited? This is the residence of a real American-style middle-class family, and it is much more interesting than staying in a hotel." ”

Hearing this, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi exchanged glances, but Lu Huaijin was more straightforward and opened the car door, "Since you have come to the United States, it would be a pity if you didn't experience it, wouldn't it?"
