………………… (text below).................................... Xiao Na is excellent in character and learning in China, coupled with the recommendation letters of President Jiang and other well-known scholars, as well as the banknotes of Wu Xiaoyan, a multimillionaire sister, it is not surprising that she passed the review of the admissions committee.

Of course, this is not surprising that you can rest easy from now on. In fact, the dual enrollment program of the University of Massachusetts International College was originally designed to provide an opportunity for students with excellent comprehensive quality and weak language skills to enter the United States to receive local education.

Except for the letter of acceptance issued and the 5-year I-20 form, which is completely different from the regular one-year preparatory I-20, it is no different from the regular one-year preparatory program. If you don't perform well in the following year, don't want to get a recommendation from your teacher or school to go straight to the University of Massachusetts or other U.S. universities.

After completing the enrollment procedures and paying the tuition fees, Wu Bolan's father and daughter hurriedly returned to Los Angeles, a thousand miles away. An Xiaobin and Xiao Ling couldn't just leave, but accompanied the two to run the immigration bureau and apply for a social security number.

Tian Wenjian, who has come to the United States for the second time, has a basic feeling about the various departments of the American political axe, which is a place to help you. Whether it's customs, the police, or the Social Security Bureau, the staff in each place are polite, very friendly, and patient and meticulous to solve problems as best they can. But there is only one local exception, and that is the Department of Immigration.

The half-day experience made the two of them full of emotion, and secretly thought that the immigration bureau is really a place where foreigners love and hate. It's cute because foreigners like them can't leave here for entry and exit and change of identity. It is said to be hateful because this yamen is too good, it treats no one as a person, and if you are a little unpleasant, you will show your face, and if you make some mistakes, it will delay you for a lifetime.

But in any case, due to thorough preparation, the procedures that should be done were still completed in twos and threes. As long as they don't get caught when they "work in the dark", Xiao Na and Tian Wenjian don't have to worry about residency in the next five years.

“…… Cortana's business is over, and now it's your problem. But you're too troublesome, and we can't help much. If you want me to say don't hang yourself from a tree, there are so many universities in Boston, just just make a whole one. ”

On the way back, An Xiaobin still didn't give up, leaned on the steering wheel, and comforted him earnestly. Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, looked at the scenery outside the car window, and said lightly: "How many times can I fight in life, I left my family and ran over, if I don't go to a decent university, will I be worthy of myself and my family?" ”

Seeing that he had made up his mind, An Xiaobin didn't insist, but said thoughtfully: "The skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how bad Jiang University is, it is still a century-old shop, and the recommendation letters from President Jiang and Professor Wen still have a bit of weight." Besides, philosophy is not a popular major, but on the whole, there is still some hope. ”

Without waiting for Tian Wenjian to speak, Xiao Ling turned around from the co-pilot and asked impatiently: "Xiao Jian, the last time you went to Tokyo, did you see the senior management of this cruise ship?" ”

Tian Wenjian was confused by this question, but he still blurted out: "Fujita Ichiro, vice chairman and vice president of the board of directors of this cruise line, should be regarded as a high-level executive." ”

Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled with a smile: "This cruise ship is a Fortune 500 company in the world, and it has a great influence in the United States. If Fujita can write you a letter of recommendation, the admissions committee will definitely treat you differently. ”

Letters of recommendation should not only be weighty, but also numerous. From the perspective of application, this is indeed a good choice, but ask the little devil to help him write a letter full of beautiful words, but Tian Wenjian can't pull this face.

An Xiaobin didn't care so much, but said by inference: "I think about it, since the more recommendation letters, the better, then ask Mr. Hanks of Evans Bank to write one too." ”

Longjiang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.'s first scrap ship was purchased from Evans Bank of New York. The two parties had dealt with each other before, and it shouldn't be a problem to ask him to write a letter of recommendation.

"Harvard is not admitted, but strived for."

Thinking of Wu Xiaoyan's words, Tian Wenjian gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "The people who came to sign up are all top students from universities around the world, and they are not on the same starting line, so it seems that it can only be like this." ”

"That's right." Xiao Ling nodded with satisfaction and continued: "A letter of recommendation is one thing, and a letter of recommendation to a professor is also very important. With a few months to go before you sign up, it's a good idea to contact the professor via email first, so that they don't have to be able to get a stack of letters of recommendation and not know who they're being recommended for. ”

"Sister Xiaoyan said the same thing." Cortana nodded heavily, a look of deep approval.

Back at the apartment, it was already lunch time, and the four of them ate their own home-cooked meal and went out again, ready to find a job in the surrounding area first, and buy two bicycles by the way.

After paying the rent, the young couple had $1,300 left. Tian Wenjian politely rejected An Xiaobin's kindness, and work has become the most urgent problem for the two of them at present.

There is no Chinatown in Boston, only Chinatown.

At first glance, it seems that it is no different from the small cities of Guangdong and Hong Kong in China. Ordinary alleys, Chinese signs are staggered, and passers-by talk casually in Cantonese dialect. Roadside shops are lined up, and the familiar atmosphere of Chinese life is blowing in your face. The unhurried pace of life in the neighborhood is like a small Chinese society with reading power. Only when a child speaks English fluently can people realize where they are.

For a novice, there are only a few types of black work. Although the technical content is not high, at least it is easy to find, there is no time limit, and the hourly wage is higher. Tian Wenjian, who is not familiar with the place, can only follow Wu Xiaoyan's footsteps in front of him and set the direction of his work in the most ordinary "restaurant", which is commonly known as brushing dishes.

After an afternoon, Tian Wenjian realized that this understanding was wrong. Because running a restaurant is also very particular, there are many types of work, and most of the time it is not washing dishes. More are side dishes, waiters, and food delivery.

I cheekily entered several restaurants, but they were all turned away because they did not understand Cantonese, Shanghainese and other "Chinese". This made the two extremely depressed, and they were not even in the mood to buy a bicycle.

Looking at their lost looks, Xiao Ling hurriedly comforted: "In fact, in addition to restaurants, you can also go to laundry, clothing factories, or go to some shops to do chores. As long as you are willing to endure hardship, it is still easy to find a job in a city like Boston, and it is not a problem to maintain a basic life. ”

An Xiaobin was anxious, ignoring the bustling crowd on the street, pointed to Tian Wenjian's nose, and said in a fierce voice: "It's not that you can't get by, why bother to come here to be looked down upon." The surname is Tian, do you say that we are still not brothers? If it's a brother, go back with me, don't you just pay for living expenses and tuition, what's the big deal! ”

Tian Wenjian couldn't understand his feelings, he quickly patted his arm, and said meaningfully: "Anzi, I understand your kindness, you just let me live a normal life." ”

"I have a virtue with Old Man Wu, I really don't know how to say about you." An Xiaobin sighed and said helplessly.

Cortana walked over, took the arms of the two, pointed in the direction of going back, and whispered, "Let's go, let's look around the apartment, it's too far here, and it's inconvenient to come and go." ”

"yes, yes, let's look for it." Xiao Ling reacted, and hurriedly took out the car keys from An Xiaobin's pocket, and beckoned the three of them to walk outside the archway of Chinatown.

There is no place to find special iron filings, and it takes no effort to get them. Passing by the supermarket where I bought groceries last time, I found a job posting in front of a laundry next to it.

This laundry is completely different from domestic laundries, and it is not a dry cleaner in the usual sense, but a self-service laundry. The scale is not large, only more than 70 square meters. Twelve washing machines and twelve dryers were neatly arranged, as well as a machine for exchanging coins.

Guests bring dirty laundry, throw it in the washing machine, pour laundry detergent and put in a certain amount of coins. When the clothes are washed, take them out and throw them in the dryer and put in a certain number of coins to dry. Except for a white old lady on duty, no other staff members were to be seen.

The old lady was very enthusiastic, and when she learned that they were looking for a job, she chattered about the working hours, the content of the work, and the salary. After Xiao Ling's translation, Tian Wenjian and the others realized that they were not recruiting "regular employees", but on duty from 10 o'clock in the evening to 2 o'clock in the morning.

To put it bluntly, it's a night watcher, but there is a lot of work. The first is to sell products such as laundry detergent, laundry detergent, softener, bleach, and bags for clothes if the customer needs them. In the middle of the night, when there are fewer customers, you have to clean the washer and dryer again, then wipe the floor with laundry detergent, wipe it with bleach, wipe it with clean water, and finally lock the door and put on the alarm, and then leave.

There is no technical content, you can earn 7.2 US dollars an hour, nearly 30 US dollars a night, how can Tian Wenjian miss such a good thing, so he agreed without hesitation. Although he can only work 22 days a month, this is the first job he found after coming to the United States, at least he can earn a month's living expenses for two people.

Because of this, Tian Wenjian cherishes this job very much. simply sent An Xiaobin and the others back to New York and devoted themselves to work and study wholeheartedly.

Go to work at 10 o'clock, hand over at 10-11:30 a.m., work, earn tips, and after 12 o'clock there are fewer people, so I start to sit on the side and read books.

Cortana was not idle, and three days later found a job as a fruit shopping guide at a supermarket. Not only is the hourly salary higher than Tian Wenjian's, but he can also buy vegetables and fruits processed at a reduced price close to the water. Because of this, Tian Wenjian can eat hot hometown dishes after going back late every night.

A good start is half the battle, and in the next mile or so, through newspaper advertisements, the young couple who worked hard in a foreign country found three jobs one after another. As Xiao Ling said, as long as you can endure hardships, it is not a problem to maintain the completion of life.

While the two were busy studying and engaging in economic development, NATO's air raids on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia had entered a fever pitch. At 8 o'clock in the evening of May 9, Tian Wenjian, who was about to go to the community center to take a second job, suddenly received a call from the head of the J Provincial Cadre Training Corps and Secretary Tao of the Provincial Youth League Committee, asking him and Xiao Na to gather at the consulate at 8 a.m.

This made Tian Wenjian very surprised, you must know that their "young and middle-aged" cadres are all training at the University of New Haven, and the training has only been a month, and it is still early to return to China, so what are you doing in Boston at this time?

As soon as he walked into the community center, the burly boss greeted him, clasped Tian Wenjian's hands, and said with unusual solemnity: "I'm sorry, my friend, if you need to, I can give you a few days off." ”

Tian Wenjian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Frank, have I been fired?" ”

Old Hei shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "No, you have done a great job, even Miss Margaret, who is known for her pickiness, thinks you are a good young man, and I am talking about everything that has just happened in Belgrade." ”

"What's wrong with Belgrade?" The more Tian Wenjian listened, the more confused he became, with a very dazed expression.

"My God, you're still in the dark."

Lao Hei turned around, pulled Tian Wenjian into his office, pointed to the news on the TV, and continued: "I deeply regret what happened to your three compatriots. It is hoped that the Air Force will remember its surname for a long time and avoid similar tragedies as much as possible. ”

At 6 a.m., NATO planes bombed the Chinese Embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in central Belgrade. As a result, three Chinese journalists were killed, and the building was seriously damaged.

Embassies are national symbols, and bombing embassies is tantamount to bombing China. The rolling news of CBS on TV made Tian Wenjian realize the seriousness of the problem, and he was stunned for a while and couldn't ease up. Looking at his stunned look, Lao Hei shook his head and gently closed the door.

"Mr. Frank, I think I do need a few days off." Tian Wenjian realized why Secretary Tao asked him to gather at the consulate, patted Lao Hei's arm, opened the door suddenly, and ran out without looking back.

As soon as I stepped on the bicycle, the mobile phone rang again, and I looked at the caller ID, which turned out to be An Xiaobin calling.

"Did you watch the news?"

Tian Wenjian sighed lightly, looked at the traffic coming and going on the street, and said solemnly: "I just knew, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen." ”

"In the case of one-sided international public opinion, I still stood out, and I already knew that something would happen, so I was dumbfounded. I really don't know what those old guys are doing for food, so I kind of hardened myself and took this opportunity to solve the problem in the east. ”

Tian Wenjian didn't want to take care of national affairs, and he was not qualified to take care of it, but said thoughtfully: "I received a call from Secretary Tao of the Provincial Youth League Committee an hour ago, if nothing else, the consulate is likely to organize our protest march tomorrow." In addition, if such a big thing happens, the training will definitely not be able to continue.

If, as you say, the upper levels are stubborn, then I have to go back with them. After all, I'm still a reservist, so I have to do my best anyway. ”

"Come on!" An Xiaobin snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Every time there is a strong indignation, it is the time when Taoguang is obscure. They don't have the courage yet, so you just stay honest. ”

"What are your plans?"

An Xiaobin let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "Dousheng Xiaomin, what can you do?" It's a big deal to shout with them tomorrow and burn a few Star-Spangled Banners. ”

Protest marches are a big deal in China, but they are a common occurrence in the United States. It's the same with burning the national flag, people don't care at all. Even a Chinese general said, "If a country can burn its own flag, what reason do you have to burn it?" ”

When it comes to such a thing, it will be very angry at home, but now in the United States, it is angry and a little embarrassed at the same time. After all, there was a reason for NATO's air raid on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and the vast majority of Americans believed that it was a just military action. In their view, it was wrong to bomb the Chinese embassy, but neither was it right for the Chinese political axe to support the talented scholar Milosevic who engaged in ethnic cleansing.

Thinking of this, Tian Wenjian shook his head helplessly, and suddenly asked, "Do you know the three peers?" ”

"One is from our club, and the other two are from "Mingguang Daily", but they don't know each other." The more An Xiaobin spoke, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but say: "The reporter sacrificed three, but the diplomat is fine, and he is really a fucking evil surname." ”

Thinking about what happened to Lao Ba in Indonesia, and then thinking about the three colleagues who had just died in the morning, Tian Wenjian sighed secretly and said solemnly: "War correspondents are not easy to do, and if you are not careful, you will take your life." Regardless of whether the sacrifice is meaningful or not, being able to go to the battlefield is in itself worthy of our respect. ”

"Don't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more aggrieved you become."

Being bullied to this by others, can you not be aggrieved? Tian Wenjian even has the heart to pack his luggage and return to China, but what can he do when he goes back? What problems can be solved?

Back in the apartment, Xiao Na was sitting on the edge of the bed watching the same news, and when she saw Tian Wenjian walking in, she immediately pounced, pointed to the picture on the TV, and said with tears in her eyes: "Husband, something is wrong, something is wrong!" ”

"Got it, I just found out."

Tian Wenjian patted her on the back, and while helping her to the bed, he whispered, "Let's go to the consulate early tomorrow morning to see if we can do something." ”

Cortana nodded heavily, choked up and said, "Well, I'll go with you." ”
