Chapter 16 The Ideal Begins
The windows were rolled down, and the south wind was late.
A haggard sunset, with a precipitated mind.
The speed of the car unconsciously accelerated, towards the horizon.
The ideal of being a human being in two lives, I don't know how old I am this year, but I have finally realized it.
Silence, encounter, and anticipation.
What is the meaning of life, it is nothing more than family and ideals.
The Wizards had a three-day break, and Hu Qingniu took the opportunity to drive a small and delicate golf ball to overtake one car monster after another and drive to his home in New York's Chinatown.
New York's Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in the world, and walking in is like going back home. There are statues of Confucius on the streets, and overseas Chinese believe more devout in ancient Chinese culture, which is their only link to their hometown. The first thing that catches your eye when you go inside is a memorial arch, and the memorial arch is written on the right: the Chinese samurai martyr's fang. Standing under the archway, looking around, there are Chinese with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, Chinese is the common language here, do not understand English, and there will be no problems.
In China's city, there are many temples, the temples here are different from those in China, the temples are not big, located in the buildings on both sides of the street, the size of the same shop is almost the same, the temples are mostly other shops or restaurants or something, and the monks and nuns who fall into the hair live in a temple. Perhaps the days of being away from home make people more lonely, and when the full moon is full moon, they miss their hometown on the other side of the earth and their relatives on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, so the temple becomes a place of affection, and a temple will be built in a neighborhood not far away.
Hu Qingniu grew up here, and although he had no father or mother, many neighbors and relatives took care of him, and he also regarded them as elders.
Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.
Downstairs in Hu Qingniu's room, there is a popular "Daddy Noodle Restaurant", and the entire wooden structure of the old house is still a building in the Qing Dynasty. The owner, Daddy, is a slightly chubby chef in his fifties and medium build. Since the time of Chinese workers, my father's family has crossed the ocean to the United States, so my father is a jack of all trades in Chinatown, and with a flexible mind, he can basically be called famous among the Chinese in Chinatown.
"Daddy, a bowl of beef noodles!"
"Master Huang, I'll be here later. You find a place to sit first," Daddy finished answering, and said to Hu Qingniu, who had just entered the door, "Qingniu, you muddy boy, where have you been fooling around for so many days." I don't know when I go home to see your Wanru sister. ”
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
In the back kitchen was standing an 18 or 9-year-old girl with bright eyebrows, her red face was disgusted and happy.
"Silly girl, if Daddy doesn't help you take care of this kid, who knows when he will bring a foreign woman back."
"Dad, I'll ignore you, hum!" This little girl should be in a hurry.
"Good, good! Don't worry about your business. Go get a bowl of egg noodles for your green cow brother. This bastard kid comes here every time to eat and drink, and I don't know if he can become a son-in-law in the end. If it doesn't work out, it's a big loss. "Daddy is nagging.
"O(∩_∩)O haha~!"
A group of diners laughed, they were all neighbors of the area, engaged in various small businesses. Master Huang who opened the martial arts hall, Dr. Hua who sat in the clinic, Wu San's sister-in-law who was in the garment shop and other neighbors all watched Hu Qingniu and Wanru grow up.
"Brother Qingniu, I'll go serve you noodles."
"Kick! Step on! Step on! The wooden floor was trampled on, and Wanru was ashamed to enter the back kitchen.
Hu Qingniu touched his nose in embarrassment and walked to the counter, "Dad, I just have a few days off, so I'll come back to see you and Sister Wanru." ”
"Ahh
Daddy started to beat Hu Qingniu and said angrily, "You stupid boy, you work in the best hospital in Washington, and every time you come home, you come empty-handed, and you don't know how to bring more supplements to see your daddy." I heard that what kind of new deep-sea whale oil is good, blood pressure lowering blood lipids, you don't know your father, nothing is wrong these days. ”
Dad looked back at the curtain in the back kitchen and found that there was no movement, so he pulled Hu Qingniu over and whispered, "Hey, let me tell you, you haven't come back for three months." Wanru is wholeheartedly devoted to you, if you dare to be a negative man, I didn't say it, lie down on the bed tonight, and please eat our family's ancestral beef bone knife. ”
"Dad, next time I will definitely bring fish oil back, but Wanru sister...
"Hmm~" Dad frowned, his eyes opened like a copper bell. In this posture, Hu Qingniu dared to say a word, and it was estimated that he really had to eat the cow bone knife.
"I'm never right, I won't be a bad guy!" Although Hu Qingniu has always regarded his childhood sweetheart Wanru as his sister in his heart, he can only succumb to deal with the past first at this time.
"Brother Qingniu~" I don't want Wanru to come out with egg noodles, her face is red, and she walked towards Hu Qingniu, Hu Qingniu's guarantee just now must have been heard.
Hu Qingniu's heart galloped for a while, what kind of sin is this!
"Your favorite egg noodles, Brother Qingniu, you didn't put the green onions you don't like to eat," the little girl called out sweetly, found a clean table and wiped it vigorously, "Sit here, Brother Qingniu." ”
"Thank you, Wanru."
Hu Qingniu was frightened, and he didn't dare to look at the little girl's little eyes.
The little girl sat happily on the side and asked, "Has your work been going well lately, Brother Qingniu." Last time you said you were promoted and sat in a big office, and even the director of the hospital begged you for help. Did you get promoted again this time? Is there any Chinese food to eat over there, and are you used to eating Western food? ”
"It's good, I've recently changed to a new job that I like more. The wages are higher again."
A discordant sharp voice came: "Aren't we driven out, those white skins won't really be good to us, and they think about how to squeeze us every day." Wanru, don't be deceived by this kid Hu Qingniu. ”
Hu Qingniu didn't have to turn his head to know that this was his sworn enemy in China City when he was a child, and he was also small and had a big bucktooth to rub gold. The ancestor is also a laborer, when he was a child, his parents had an accident at work, and he became an orphan, and he ate and drank at his father's place like Hu Qingniu. But the older you get, the more you don't learn and can't discipline. Originally, I heard that I was practicing martial arts in Master Huang's martial arts hall, but then I couldn't hold on, and it was said that I went to fool around with a group of black people, and I didn't know what I was doing.
"Ya rub gold, how can you say that about Brother Qingniu. We all grew up together, and Brother Qingniu never lied to us. He said that if he got a better job, it would definitely be a better job. Wanru retorted angrily.
"When I was a child, I was not sensible, but now who knows who he Hu Qingniu is. Those who work for white skin don't end well! ”
"Bang!" After Ya Chajin finished speaking, he threw down the bowl and went out, this kid never gave money.
Dad sighed helplessly, but not for this money, but felt that he was also responsible for not teaching good teeth to wipe gold.
