After Lu Li arrived in Los Angeles, he went directly to the airport, he also came here for the first time, according to the landlord's SMS instructions, found a combination lock on the iron railing at the door, and after opening the small box according to the code, he found the key and opened the door smoothly.

Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi went to the house first, Lu Li moved the luggage in one after another, and asked in a loud voice, "How is it? How do you feel? When I read it on the Internet before, the picture felt pretty good." ”
The entrance is a staircase leading to the second floor, the hall, kitchen and dining room on the left, the study on the right, and a guest bathroom at the end of the corridor next to the staircase, where the sunlight shines through the large windows facing the lawn in the front yard, reflecting the whole room, green potted plants and modern simple design, beige and gray in the middle or red and blue accents, generous and warm.
The second floor is home to the bedrooms, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a wood-toned staircase provides a glimpse of the upstairs décor in a typical middle-class American home.
"It feels very similar to what you see on TV, but it's a little bit more life-like. Song Lingyi's voice came from the kitchen, full of surprise and joy, "Are these kitchen utensils usable?"
Sure enough, the first goal was to ask about family matters, and Lu Li smiled dumbly, "Yes, all of them can be used." "There is also a swimming pool and a small garden in the back yard. ”
"It's only May and the pool water is so cold. Song Lingyi complained, not looking interested in the pool at all.
Turning his head, Lu Li saw Lu Huaijin who was pacing in the study, "Dad, why do you go to the study first." Lu Li walked to the door and looked at Lu Huaijin with great interest.
"Occupational disease. Lu Huaijin didn't mind at all, and carefully browsed the books on the shelves.
"Are you sure you don't want to take a good rest?" Lu Li said with some concern, "It's a long-distance flight, and it's jet lag, so let's have a good rest at home today." I'll go to the supermarket and get some groceries and I'll cook for you, and mom and you can relax – or maybe we can take a shower first. ”
Lu Huaijin waved his hand, "It's okay for me." I slept all the way on the plane, in fact, I am not very sleepy now, and I feel that the whole person is in good spirits. He pointed to the bookshelf with interest, "There are all kinds of books here, popular novels, classical classics, psychological works, and even medicine." This host must have been very knowledgeable. ”
"Why are you in the study again? Every time you see the study, you come to work. Song Lingyi's voice sounded behind Lu Li, and she also walked over, "How are you feeling now?
"It's fine. Lu Huaijin reluctantly left the bookshelf, "I want to go out for a walk, what do you think?"
Lu Li was a little surprised, but without waiting for him to persuade, Song Lingyi said, "If you feel well, I also want to go out for a walk, just right, in a few hours, it's time to take medicine, we'd better eat first." ”
In the western part of the United States, the time difference is relatively easy to adjust, and around 8 p.m. is dinner time, which happens to be lunch time in China. It's already past six o'clock, and it's a good arrangement to take them out for a sitting, a little wind, and then come back to rest after dinner.
"Do you have any special places you want to go?" Lu Li nodded in agreement, they drove out by themselves, if Lu Huaijin felt tired, just come back directly.
Lu Huaijin looked at Song Lingyi, "You decide." ”
Song Lingyi showed a look of eagerness to try, and gave an answer that made Lu Li cry and laugh, "Avenue of Stars." ”
So, ten minutes later, Lu Li arrived at the Avenue of Stars with Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin.
The so-called Walk of Fame is no longer a simple road, but a tic-tac-toe map of several streets, containing more than 2,700 stars, and has become a world-famous Hollywood landmark, which almost every visitor to Los Angeles will not miss.
Among them, the part of Hollywood Boulevard in the center is the most prosperous and lively area for tourists, because there are not only the Chinese Theater and the Dolby Theater, one is the venue for movie premieres, the other is the permanent venue of the Oscars, and there are also landmarks such as the Captain's Theater and the Roosevelt Hotel. This also makes the Walk of Fame in this section of the Walk of Fame very high-profile, and many of the stars have worn out.
The walk of Fame from the residence was quick, but finding a parking space nearby was not an easy task, and it took several turns around the next street to find a place to park at the mall two blocks away. The bustle and bustle of the city of Los Angeles are presented in a unique way.
"Oops, oops, this is Tom Hanks!" Song Lingyi looked at the stars under her feet and shouted excitedly, obviously, the tediousness of looking for a parking space just now did not affect their good mood.
Not far away, jugglers in Spider-Man suits and Batman suits were taking pictures with passers-by, a few black men leaning around the corner, selling CDs they had recorded, smiling young people gathering in twos and threes, bending down or crouching down to try to catch the stars on the ground while taking selfies......
The bustle of the whole street seems to gather half of the city, and the bustle and noise are boiling under the dim lights of the evening.
Lu Huaijin followed Song Lingyi's side step by step, nodding his head lightly to show pandering.
In fact, Lu Li knew, and it was estimated that none of these actors knew Lu Huaijin, but Lu Huaijin didn't say anything, just followed by and responded to Song Lingyi's excitement. Finding stars that you are familiar with is one of the most interesting things about the Walk of Fame.
Lu Li followed behind his parents unhurriedly, looking at Song Lingyi, who looked like a child, and couldn't help but smile.
"Ma'am, this lady, do you want to take a photo together?" a man in an Iron Man costume walked over and said to Song Lingyi courteously.
Although this is Lu Li's first time in Los Angeles, he has also heard a lot about the "scam" of the Walk of Fame.
It's not easy to describe these street performers in costumes, they also use their own labor to earn a pay, and stay on this street all day, but they do bully the soft and afraid of the hard, and often bully tourists who are not very proficient in the language, for example, tourists are taking selfies, and they suddenly get into the camera, whether the other party wants to or not, as long as they are in the camera, they will ask for ten dollars; for example, tourists and a street actor are filming, and several actors next to them are crowding in, and then everyone asks for ten dollars…… As for the kind of bullying strangers, there are also cases where the lion opens his mouth for twenty or thirty in one breath.
If the tourists refuse to pay, the street performers are all in tune, and everyone will flock to the street in one fell swoop to demand payment. Even tourists from other states in the United States come here without exception.
Seeing that Iron Man coming over, Lu Li immediately greeted him, ready to stop the other party, but he didn't expect that Song Lingyi turned around, but showed a bright smile, waved his hand and greeted the other party, and her bright expression could clearly feel her happiness, which made Lu Li's pace slow down a little.
Lu Huaijin took an arrow step, blocked between Song Lingyi and Iron Man, guarded his wife behind, and then asked directly in English, "Do you need any help?"
Iron Man took half a step back, indicating that he had no malicious intent, opened his hands, and said exaggeratedly, "I'm Iron Man, do you want to take a picture with me?"
Song Lingyi understood this sentence, and then muttered in Chinese, "I prefer Spider-Man." ”
"Haha. Lu Li was caught off guard and burst into laughter directly, he never knew that his mother had such a sense of humor, and he didn't know that Song Lingyi actually knew Iron Man and Spider-Man, it seems that there are really a lot of movies to watch in domestic cinemas now.
"What?" Iron Man naturally didn't understand Song Lingyi's words, and asked with a question mark on his head.
Lu Huaijin said with a straight look, "I want to take pictures with Spider-Man even more." ”
Iron Man's face was hidden behind the mask, but Lu Li could feel his bewilderment at first, he simply covered his chest with his hands, a picture of an injured look, "I'm also fine, I'm an artist, and all the armor is made by myself, which is much better than Spider-Man's equipment." ”
"Hey, hey, are you talking about me?" Not far away, the pot-bellied Spider-Man ran over, he didn't look light at all, he wasn't young at all, his chubby figure was more like a fat Hulk, the red Spider-Man's suit had been exposed, and a little bit of white flowery belly could be faintly seen.
Needless to say, as soon as he appeared on the stage, he made Song Lingyi laugh happily, and even Lu Huaijin was full of smiles.
"Is someone calling me? I can take pictures at any time, at any time!" Spider-Man looked left and right, and said aggressively, "Ma'am, are you calling me?"
Song Lingyi couldn't help nodding again and again, "Yes, I want to take pictures with you." Then she looked left and right, "Lu Li, hurry, come here, let's take pictures with this middle-aged Spider-Man." These words were all said in Chinese, and the people next to them were confused, but Lu Huaijin and Lu Li both laughed.
Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, even if these street performers would "cheat money", then what should it matter? Looking at Song Lingyi's bright smile, Lu Li felt that it was all worth it, so he strode forward, "Come, let's take a selfie together!"
Song Lingyi held Lu Huaijin's arm, Lu Li stood in front of the two of them, and then half-squatted down, Spider-Man's height was limited, and he also squatted beside Lu Li, and Iron Man didn't give up, standing behind Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi...... Just before Lu Li pressed the shutter, why were there a few more figures behind him?
