Chapter Eighty-Three: Everyday Life
"White, please. You know that Chinese people are generally shy, and I would be very nervous in public. ”
Although Chen Ming figured out the reason, he couldn't accept the matter of singing so quickly. We can only continue to talk about one reason to deal with the past.
"I'll help you. But you have to go a little farther, as far away as possible. I don't want the whole station to know that my friend is a convenience store aunt. ”
Looking at Chen Ming's expectant eyes, White patted his head. The voice sounded angry.
"Thank you, brother. So let's go! ”
Chen Ming put away the leather shoes in his hand and hurriedly grabbed White's shoulder.
"Go take off your uniform first, you damn yellow-skinned monkey! And you,! ”
White pushed Chen Ming away and scolded viciously.
Chen Ming and John knew that White was not malicious or racist, so they looked at each other and smiled, and each went back to the room to change into casual clothes.
When he came out again, White was wearing a Hawaiian shirt on top, a pair of beach pants underneath, and a pair of sunglasses on his forehead. The appearance of Sao Bao made Chen Ming and John feel stunned.
"Hell, how much perfume did you wear?"
When the three of them went downstairs together, the strong smell of perfume on White's body made John can't help but sneeze several times, and even Chen Ming has an itchy nose now.
After going downstairs, White beckoned Chen Ming to get into a small red sports car parked in the parking space. Then ask Chen Ming to give John the key to the pickup truck and let him follow.
Although this small sports car does not look good in Chen Ming's opinion. But I have to say that in this era, even in the United States, it is impossible for ordinary people to own such a car if they are not particularly wealthy families.
Chen Ming seemed to understand what White meant. He was reluctant to let Chen Ming reveal his identity as an officer at a convenience store, which would be very humiliating. But he was worried that someone would bully his brother.
drove Chen Ming over in a sports car to warn others that Chen Ming was friends with him. If someone dares to touch Chen Ming, they will face the revenge of a second ancestor. And in the bald eagle where money is paramount, the deterrent power of the rich second generation is much better than that of the official second generation in many cases.
The negotiation with the convenience store owner was smooth. The owner of a bar may be hesitant to hire a Chinese singer, but a convenience store is not. The Chinese are famous all over the world for their hard-working nature, and he welcomes Chen Ming to join him.
And so it passed for another three months. During these three months, Chen Ming attended classes during the day and worked at convenience stores in the afternoon until evening. Although White was looking for a shop on the edge of the city, Pensacola itself wasn't huge, and it wouldn't take much time to walk back to the dorm.
On weekends, Chen Ming chooses to soak in the library at the airport station. As the cradle of the Bald Eagle Naval Pilots, the Pensacola Air Station has the most books in the library about naval aviation. Even some knowledge on the aircraft carrier.
Bald Eagle has a lot of aircraft carriers and has a long history. These books and knowledge are boring and boring for White, but for Chen Ming, everything is full of appeal.
It was only after Chen Ming opened the book on aircraft carrier deck operations and flight scheduling for the first time with great interest that he found that there were many terms in it that he couldn't understand at all. Fortunately, there are also books on the management and scheduling of aviation stations in the library, which gives Chen Ming the opportunity to lay a solid foundation.
This weekend, Chen Ming is also preparing to go to the library. Thinking that today he could finally start browsing the books on the dispatch of fighters on the aircraft carrier, Chen Ming was very excited.
"Hey, Chen. I'm afraid you can't go to the library today. ”
White saw Chen Ming who was about to go out, and quickly stopped him.
"Why?"
Chen Ming was stunned when he heard White's words.
"Are you a robot? I go to class every day, go to work, and read books in the library when I have a weekend off. Dude, it's been three months, and you've got to give yourself a vacation. ”
"Later, our group of students made an appointment to go to the beach to play volleyball, and there will be a barbecue in the evening. Come on, have a good time with us. ”
"Am I not going to do it?"
Chen Ming was a little hesitant. He is also a young man, and he also wants to play, but thinking about what Major General Zhang of the embassy said, his heart is full of urgency.
"I'm afraid not. You haven't been to any of the group activities before. Everyone admires your achievements, but you know, it's not good to be out of the group. ”
John's face was a little serious.
Chen Ming's behavior in the past three months and the first grade in various assessments every month made other students admire and couldn't help but feel that this person is very difficult to get along with. John felt that it was not a good thing to go on like this.
Chen Ming looked at White with a deserved expression, so he had to nod helplessly.
"Hey, why do you have that look. Come to think of it, summer is here. Sandy beaches, beauties, bikinis. There was also the barbecue and beer, which was just amazing. ”
"I'm going to inform the others, you guys hurry up and change your clothes. And, Chen, these are your sunglasses. ”
After John saw Chen Ming agree, he ran out of the door directly. Chen Ming, who was left standing indoors, looked at the sunglasses in his hand and was a little stunned.
The relationship between these two people has been calculated a long time ago?
"Don't be stunned, go and change into your regular clothes."
Chen Ming changed into his white summer clothes, and walked downstairs after forcibly enduring the smell of perfume sprayed on his body by White. John had eight other cadets already waiting downstairs.
The number of people is not as large as imagined, and Chen Ming understands when he thinks about it. It is impossible for everyone in the same batch to have a good relationship, so this group of people should be the small circle of White and John.
The group drove a few cars and drove towards the beach.
The appearance of 11 officers in white naval uniforms and sunglasses on the beach was naturally eye-catching. This is also the time when the beach is at its most crowded.
After a while, I took off my shirt and leather shoes, and there were more beautiful figures in the barefoot beach volleyball game.
Chen Ming was lying on a beach chair, enjoying a rare leisure. The tension has relaxed a lot.
"Hey, Chen. Why did you turn down the girls' invitations? ”
John, who had just left the scene, saw Chen Ming lying on the beach chair, and once again refused the invitation of the two girls, and sat over with two bottles of soda and asked curiously.
"I have a girlfriend."
Chen Ming took the soda from John's hand and opened it.
"Single-minded Chinese~"
When John heard Chen Ming's words, he shrugged noncommittally. Holding the soda bottle and touching Chen Ming.
After an afternoon of playing, more and more people joined them. In the evening, the rest of the people gathered on the beach to watch John barbecue.
Kebabs are not pork or lamb that are common in China, but beef. The price of beef in Bald Eagle is very low, even if a lot is prepared, the actual cost is not high. Not to mention the ingredients contributed by the rest of the tourists.
"Hey, John, I didn't think you still had this craft?"
White held out his thumb as he ate with his mouth full of oil.
"I'm a Texan."
