Chapter Fifty-Nine: First Arrival in the United States

Before leaving, Wu Xiaochuan accompanied his mother to his hometown in Beijing to visit his elderly grandmother again, and stayed at his uncle's house for two days, and two days later his mother and his uncle's family took him to the airport. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When Wu Xiaochuan said to Lin Shuqing by the passage, "Mom! Is there anything else you would like to tell your son? Lin Shuqing looked at her son and said, "That's good! I will send you a sentence from Huainanzi Yuan Dao Training: 'Therefore, the saint is not expensive but heavy in inches, and it is rare and easy to lose!' ’”……

Wu Xiaochuan took a plane from Beijing via Tokyo, Japan, and after nearly 20 hours of turbulence, he finally arrived in Los Angeles, a big city on the west coast of the United States. Wu Xiaochuan remembered that it was 10 o'clock in the morning in Beijing, and after arriving in Los Angeles, Wu Xiaochuan saw a large romanized timetable on the wall of the airport waiting hall, showing the local time of major cities in the world: Los Angeles time was more than 6 o'clock in the morning the next day, and the time difference between Los Angeles and Beijing was about 16 hours.

After a long time to complete the formalities, Wu Xiaochuan walked out of the waiting hall with the flow of people, and saw countless people in the square holding signs with people's names in their hands, all of them came to pick up people, although the names on the signs are written in English, Japanese, and Korean, but most of them are Chinese names, that is, most of the people looking for people in other foreign languages are Chinese, just like holding up a sign to find people is a patented invention of Chinese, of course, there are the most Chinese at the airport except for Americans.

Wu Xiaochuan finally saw a sign with his name written on it in the crowd, so he walked towards the sign, holding the sign was a young man, twenty-six or seventeen years old, Wu Xiaochuan didn't know him, but this person knew Wu Xiaochuan and shouted: "Cousin!" He probably had a photo of Wu Xiaochuan in his hand, he walked out of the airport hall side by side with Wu Xiaochuan, and then led Wu Xiaochuan to a car, and Wu Xiaochuan saw his aunt Wu Wenying at a glance.

Wu Xiaochuan knew his aunt, because he not only saw his aunt when he was six or seven years old, but also had photos of his aunt in the old house in Beijing from various periods before China's ****, Wu Xiaochuan shouted "Aunt!" The circles under her eyes were red, and her fifty-six-year-old aunt Wu Wenying stepped forward and hugged Wu Xiaochuan with tears streaming down her face, and the family members next to her persuaded her: "Okay!" Got it! "It's safe! It's a happy event! Aunt Wu Wenying wiped her tears and began to introduce her family to Wu Xiaochuan......

Wu Xiaochuan knew that his aunt's husband's surname was Yang, his name was Yang Jiaxuan, and he was a mainland classmate who studied in the United States with Wu Wenying in 1947, and he was now a professor at a polytechnic college in the United States, and his aunt was also a professor at a famous university in the United States. Uncle and aunt have three children, two daughters and a son, the eldest daughter is married, the son is working, the person holding the sign is called Yang Huizhong, and now there is a daughter of the same age as Wu Xiaochuan at home, who is a graduate student in the college where her uncle teaches.

The family quickly entered the highway after getting into the car, this is the first time Wu Xiaochuan has seen the highway, there are high protective fences on both sides of the road, and there is a separation belt in the middle of the road, and the traffic in the opposite direction is separated on both sides, and the speed is really fast! Aunt, uncle and Wu Xiaochuan sat in a car, the driver was cousin Yang Huizhong, Wu Xiaochuan and his aunt sat behind, along the way the aunt kept holding Wu Xiaochuan's hand and did not let go, after a while the car got off the highway, and soon the two cars drove into a villa.

After getting out of the car, Wu Xiaochuan didn't know the time and place, couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and was led into the room by his aunt in a daze, and he didn't know how his luggage was brought into the house. After entering the house, my aunt beckoned the Taiwanese maid to prepare bath water for Xiaochuan quickly, and said: "After Xiaochuan'er washes up, our family will have a reunion dinner, I have something to say!" The maid told her that everything was ready, including a change of clothes.

I didn't expect Wu Xiaochuan to take a bath, because Wu Xiaochuan has been very regular for many years, and he has no nightlife habits, more than 20 hours of continuous long-distance bumps, to reverse jet lag, and now the time is more than nine o'clock in the morning Western time, which is equivalent to more than one o'clock at night when Wu Xiaochuan is at home in the mainland, plus a soak in hot water, he barely put on his clothes after taking a bath, and he is so sleepy that he can't open his eyes. There was no way for my aunt to help him to Wu Xiaochuan's bedroom, and the people below waited for a while, because they all had work that day, so they all quit and went back, the reunion dinner was not completed, and what my aunt wanted to say could not be said, this was the scene of Wu Xiaochuan's first day in the United States.

Wu Xiaochuan slept until more than two o'clock in the afternoon local time the next day, and after waking up, the Taiwanese maid came in and invited him downstairs to eat, and was ready to clean up the bed for him, but Wu Xiaochuan didn't let him, saying that he could do it, the maid was Taiwanese, this Taiwanese maid was about forty years old, and there was no barrier to language communication with Wu Xiaochuan, and the maid told him that this was what she had to do, and you were welcome! But Wu Xiaochuan still disagreed, and made the bed himself.

After Wu Xiaochuan went downstairs to the dining room, he found that the huge dining table was empty, and the maid came over and told him: "Mr. Wu and Mr. Yang have classes in the university today, and they can only come back in the evening, the eldest lady and the eldest young master do not live at home, and the second lady lives in the school and sometimes comes back, and you are the only one who eats at home today, which is what Mr. Wu ordered!" He said as he brought food out of the kitchen. Wu Xiaochuan had to eat alone, but he knew that the meal was made for him alone, because now is not the time for Americans to eat. The maid couldn't help but ask when she saw that he was quiet and quiet, and he came from Chinese mainland, "Young Master is a relative of Mr. Wu, right?" "Wu Xiaochuan doesn't want to say that he is Mr. Wu's nephew! He nodded and admitted that he was a relative of Mr. Wu, and at the same time he told the maid: Don't call him young master in the future, just call him Wu Xiaochuan or Xiaochuan.

Hungry is very hungry, there are vegetables and rice on the table, bread and milk, etc., but he can't eat and is always nauseated, I don't know why Wu Xiaochuan remembered the first time he ate at Wu Yumei's house, Wu Xiaochuan knew that this might be the cause of jet lag, eat! Bite your teeth and eat too! After the meal, Wu Xiaochuan walked out of the house and came to the courtyard, and found that his aunt's villa covers a large area, and there are not only pavilions but also lawns in the courtyard, the lawn is smooth and the area is very large, and you can play golf! This Wu Xiaochuan understands, and Wu Xiaochuan saw that there is also an artificially dug swimming pool in the southeast corner of the yard, and there are several awnings built of colorful rainproof cloths on the side of the pool, and there are round tables and chairs under the shed, probably for swimmers to rest after going ashore, right?

Wu Xiaochuan watched in the courtyard for a while, then returned to the bedroom on the second floor, stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, ah! He saw the sea! The vast sea level is connected with the blue sky, forming the same color of the sea and sky, the sand gulls above the sea surface are gathered, and the sails of the seaside bathing beach in the distance are dotted, and the gusts of wind blow, as if you can smell the smell of seawater. This is the West Coast of the United States! This is Los Angeles in the United States! Wu Xiaochuan stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, he wanted to see his hometown and his relatives through the junction of the vast sea level and the blue sky......

The design of my aunt's house is elegant and beautiful, the roof of the house and other buildings are Nordic style, but the balcony and the independent pavilion corresponding to the main house around it are also classical Chinese style, which can be said to be a combination of Chinese and Western, the interior decoration of the house is very exquisite, and the maid introduced him after entering the house: where is the bedroom of whom; Where is the study of whom; Where is the piano room of the two young ladies; Where is the bathroom; where are the storage rooms, garages; Also: there are three bathrooms and so on.

At night in the United States time, my aunt and uncle drove a car separately, one after the other, and drove into the yard through the electronic gate, but Wu Xiaochuan had already fallen asleep again.

The next day, Wu Xiaochuan ate with his aunt and uncle, and his aunt specially asked Wu Xiaochuan to sit beside her, constantly picking up vegetables for her nephew, and her aunt's kind eyes never left Wu Xiaochuan's face, and said unabashedly in front of her husband: "The men of our Wu family are beautiful!" Jiaxuan! Well, I'm right, right? Uncle Yang Jiaxuan hurriedly echoed and said, "Yes! Yes! Bun Zheng and his younger siblings are beautiful! I've seen both Wenzheng and his wife! Xiaochuan looks a lot like his brother-in-law! "It is true that Wu Xiaochuan is very beautiful, with a straight nose and a square mouth, fair skin and a slender figure.

In this way, Wu Xiaochuan was dizzy for a few days, as long as his aunt was at home, as long as Wu Xiaochuan woke up, his aunt would pull him to ask this and that, and he was very caring. Slowly, the young Wu Xiaochuan finally reversed the jet lag, and one day Wu Xiaochuan suddenly asked Wu Wenying: "Auntie!" Why didn't I see grandpa? Wu Wenying's eyes suddenly turned red, she led Wu Xiaochuan to a room, pointed to her grandfather's portrait and said sadly: "Grandpa died four years ago!" Wu Xiaochuan saw that tears suddenly welled up in his eyes and he cried, and his aunt Wu Wenying hugged Wu Xiaochuan with tears and said, "Chuan'er! I know that grandpa loves you the most, you have to work hard, our Wu family is your only seedling! Wu Xiaochuan nodded tearfully.

The next day was Saturday, Wu Xiaochuan's cousin's family, his cousin and cousin all came home, and the family finally had a reunion dinner together. After eating, when everyone sat down in the living room, Wu Wenying said with a serious expression in front of the whole family: "Xiaochuan has just arrived in the United States, I don't know anything, you brothers and sisters should help him more, including Hui Ting!" Hui Ting referred to her aunt's third daughter, and Wu Wenying continued: "Xiaochuan is the only seedling of our Wu family, and he can live in this family for as long as he wants!" From now on, whoever has you in this house will have him! You know? It seems that Wu Wenying has plans to let Wu Xiaochuan stay in the United States.

Yang Jiaxuan nodded in understanding after hearing this; The eldest cousin, Yang Huilin, feels that her mother's mood today is a little unusual, too serious, right? Cousin Yang Huizhong sat on the sofa chair and dangled his legs and seemed to be indifferent, but cousin Yang Huiting felt that her mother was a little incredible today, although everyone had no objection in person, but they all felt that this old watch in the mainland must be a dirt bun.
