After a dozen hours of flight, Li Yifan arrived in Vancouver, Canada's third largest city, and because of the time difference, when he arrived in Vancouver, it was the local evening.

It's summer in the Northern Hemisphere, but the temperature in Vancouver is not as hot as in the capital, and the temperature here is very cool because of the proximity to the Pacific Ocean.

Out of the airport to breathe a breath of North American air, and enjoy some of the landscape of Vancouver, no wonder it was once rated as the world's most suitable city for human habitation, the greening of the whole city is very good, although it is located in the high latitudes of the northern hemisphere, but because there are often warm ocean currents passing by, so the climate here is very pleasant, not cold in winter, not hot in summer.

As early as the United States implemented the ban on China, many Chinese workers in the United States migrated here to settle here, and after World War II, a large number of people from Xiangjiang and Baodao moved here, coupled with the city's relatively open temperament, it has become the first choice for more and more North American Chinese to settle.

So far, about 500,000 Chinese have settled here, and it has become the largest concentration of Chinese in North America.

When I got out of the airport, I thought that the second uncle who I saw in Aunt Anna's photo would come here to pick me up, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't see anyone.

It wasn't until Li Yifan saw a card holding his Chinese name in the reception hall that he made up his mind, but when he saw the person holding the sign, his heart still trembled, this is a young man with black hair. is completely different from the second uncle he imagined.

At the same time as Li Yifan looked at the other party. The other party also noticed Li Yifan. Without hesitation, the young man who looked a little like Keanu and Reeves smiled at Li Yifan, and then walked over.

"You're Yifan?"

The other party's Chinese is very standard, which makes Li Yifan very surprised.

"Yes, I am."

"Haha, hello, welcome to Vancouver, I'm Billy. Lee, your cousin. ”

"Hello. Nice to see you. ”

Li Yifan stretched out his right hand, but he didn't expect to get a big bear hug from his cousin.

"Dad, there happened to be some things, so let me pick you up."

Cousin Billy is the kind of person who knows himself, with the hearty enthusiasm of Europeans and Americans, and he doesn't see his cousin who meets for the first time, and he takes over the luggage in his hand when he speaks.

Li Yifan didn't say much, and followed the other party outside.

"Aunt Anna is alright? By the way, why didn't your parents come? Didn't you say you would come together? ”

Billy asked.

"Aunt Anna was nice. She's been busy lately, so don't worry about her. My parents couldn't come here for some personal reasons, so this time it was just me. ”

"Oh? Buying a breed of cattle is not a trivial matter? ”

Billy raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Yifan obliquely, obviously surprised that his relatives in China would let such a child-like person deal with such a thing.

"Hehe, nothing? We are very relieved that you are here to check it. ”

Of course, Li Yifan understood what Billy meant, he explained to Billy, and Billy also felt that this cousin was very good at talking, and when he said this, he expressed his trust in his people, which made his heart warm.

Billy's car is a Chevrolet Impala from the 60s, which looks like scrap metal from a modern perspective, but under Billy's careful construction, this car looks very hippie.

The large wheel arc of the snow, coupled with the flame latte art of the wind, makes this car look like a retro fire chariot.

"Nice car."

Li Yifan complimented casually, because it can be seen from Billy's meticulous care of this classic car that Billy is a car lover.

"Oh? Do you also know cars? ”

The handsome and handsome ratio is raised with eyebrows, and it looks like it has an evil taste, and he is definitely the kind of beautiful man who can fascinate all living beings in China.

"Well, I don't understand, but I have a few cars at home, and I like them too."

Li Yifan said casually, but he didn't expect it to scratch Billy's itch.

"Hehe, don't underestimate my car, although it looks very old on the outside, but I carefully built it on the inside, look, the V8 engine was replaced by me, and this transmission ......"

Billy put Li Yifan's luggage into the trunk of the car, and after getting into the car, he began to read the car scripture to Li Yifan.

In addition, Li Yifan is also a person who likes cars very much, and the two quickly chatted together, and soon passed through the car, with a sense of wanting to become good friends who talk about everything.

"My dad wants me to go to college in the United States, Havard or Princeton, but I'm not interested in being a reader, I want to learn how to repair cars, but my dad strongly disagrees with ......"

Billy quickly became acquainted with Li Yifan, so he began to talk about his situation.

And it wasn't until this time that Li Yifan didn't know that Aunt Weishenme Anna would be so strange in tone and expression when she talked about this Billy cousin.

Feelings: This is an angry Canadian youth with a strong rebellious mentality!

And through chatting with Billy, Li Yifan learned that Billy was not very old, and he was one or two years older than himself, and it seemed that this foreigner really looked more mature on the outside.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be such a person, I thought that the Chinese people from the mainland would be more rigid, the same kind as before."

It's only 2000, not ten years later, and the understanding of the national quality of Xinhua in foreign countries, especially in countries like Canada, is generally only at the level of international students in the early eighties and nineties.

After all, now is the time when the craze for studying abroad has just emerged, and although there are more Chinese in Vancouver, most of the Chinese here are from Xiangjiang or Treasure Island, and the number of Chinese from the mainland is still relatively small.

"Hehe, it's like that everywhere, have you come into contact with a lot of people from the mainland here?"

Li Yifan responded casually.

"Well, I've come into contact with some, many of them went to the United States a few years ago, and recently came to Vancouver, and recently the mainland students in the city have begun to gradually hide, but the people I came into contact with are all older......

Billy chatted with Li Yifan as he drove, and soon they drove out of the airport and through the city center.

Li Yifan's second uncle's family lives in the southwest of Vancouver, and the city of Vancouver, like many European and American cities, is the kind of bungalow, except for some high-rise buildings in the city center.

However, the concept of people's bungalows is not the same as that of domestic bungalows, and their ordinary bungalows should be called independent villas if they are changed to China.

"No, this is Chinatown, then Broadway and Cheranlane, and then you have to be careful when you go to this place."

As he walked through Chinatown and came to the intersection of Broadway and Cheranli, Billy introduced Li Yifan.

"Oh? weishenme？ ”

"The security here is not very good......"

When he said this, Billy's expression was rather strange.

As soon as Billy finished speaking, there was a roar of a motor behind the impala they were riding, and Billy turned his head to look behind him in the rearview mirror.

"Damn ......"

Billy scolded softly, and Li Yifan immediately knew that they were probably going to be in trouble.

Sure enough, when Billy was about to step on the gas pedal and shake off the Dodge pickup behind him, the Dodge pickup behind him suddenly overtook them, and then stopped Billy's car on this relatively deserted road.

Billy didn't turn off the engine, but put on reverse gear and wanted to reverse, but a black SUV came up from behind, and suddenly blocked Billy's car in the middle.

Billy's face changed a few times, and then quickly returned to normal, he didn't get out of the car directly, and at this time, on the pickup truck in front, a few big men jumped down, and the off-road vehicles behind also began to get down one after another.

There were a total of seven or eight tall and strong foreign men, the weather outside was not very cold, and most of these big men were dressed in T-shirts or vests, and there were all kinds of tattoos on their thick arms.

Li Yifan knew that it seemed that he had encountered a foreign hooligan now.

"Hey! Billy, long time no see! ”

A big man with the kind of floral scarf that the biker party usually wears on his head walked up to Billy and his car, and slammed it on the hood.

"Who is he?"

Li Yifan looked at the big man outside the car, then turned his head and asked Billy.

He ...... His nickname is Mad Dog, and we used to be classmates in the same high school......"

Hearing Billy's introduction, Li Yifan couldn't help but feel a little stunned, this mad dog, you can see the big gold teeth inside with one mouth, and he also wears a pair of sunglasses in the dark sky, and has a goatee on his chin, no matter how you look at it, he is dressed as a middle-aged uncle, I didn't expect him to be high school classmates with Billy, so isn't this guy's age only in his early twenties?

"Did you have any holiday with him?"

Li Yifan asked.

"Hehe, some time ago, he and I raced and lost 10,000 Canadian dollars to me......"

"That's all?"

"And, of course, a hanging hair?"

"Flutter ......"

"Is that really all there is?"

"Plus, I slept with his girlfriend......"

I'll just say, this cousin is definitely more than just a Canadian angry young man...... (To be continued.) )
