Overall, the food tastes okay, but the atmosphere of eating is boring. The restaurant was very quiet, everyone talked like stealing mines, accustomed to the lively environment in the country, and suddenly quieted down, Hong Tao had nothing to say, so he had to stuffy his head to deal with the food on his plate, only after the meal when he ate dessert and drank ice wine, he chatted a little.

Unlike Hong Tao, the other four people ate very casually, chatting in a low voice while eating, from the United States all the way to Canada, from rugby to ice hockey, there is basically no place for Hong Tao to interject.

"Hong Tao, why are you so quiet today, isn't the food delicious?" When we drove home together after eating, Katie didn't open any pot.

"The taste of the dish is okay, but I'm not used to it, and the procedure is a bit troublesome......" In fact, Hong Tao still has a sentence that he hasn't said, that is, it is too expensive, and he spent 1,300 Canadian dollars at the checkout after the meal, except for the 150 Canadian dollar tip, which is almost equal to the per capita consumption of 230 Canadian dollars, which is more than 1,300 yuan, which is too loser.

"It's good to eat habits, but I can't afford to invite you to this kind of high-end restaurant now, I'm still a student." Katie comforted Hong Tao, and then hurriedly added a sentence to block her back road.

"Come on, next time I'll invite you to eat roast duck, this kind of restaurant is enough for me to enter once, eating is similar to going to jail, you can't laugh, you can't talk, you can't smoke, it's too restrictive." When Hong Tao heard it, he was still used to eating! Once is enough, how many bags of bait have to be sold to earn it back, this Zhou Xiaoli is too ruthless.

After going home, Zhou Xiaoli assigned the guest room on the second floor to Katie and her boyfriend, the master bedroom was left to Erin and herself, and the sofa in the living room was at Hong Tao's disposal, and after they all went upstairs to sleep, Hong Tao lay on the sofa and felt a little swollen in his stomach, but he couldn't bear not to go to the toilet, how could he stay in his stomach for more than a thousand yuan overnight, or it would be too much of a loss.

Zhou Xiaoli hacked Hong Tao, and it was still ruthlessly black, it has been half a month since she came to Toronto, and it was the first time that Hong Tao spent so much money at one time. But Zhou Xiaoli's venting behavior ends here, she still has work to do, and she can't watch Hong Tao at home all day.

She actually didn't plan to do this, the relationship between her and Hong Tao was at most a lover, and there was a mixture of work and business in between, which was inexplicable. No one will restrict anyone too much, this is also the basis for two people to maintain this special relationship, once someone crosses the border and tries to control each other's behavior or thoughts, then this already fragile bond will soon collapse, so Zhou Xiaoli does not plan to cross this dividing line, at least not until she gets tired of Hong Tao.

Hong Tao is also very clear about this woman's thoughts, her behavior of blackmailing herself and letting herself sleep on the sofa is just a manifestation of a woman's instinct, when there is a male, the female always has to protect her own interests, and vice versa, from animals to people are like this, unless you hate each other.

Sister Erin is not stupid, from the moment they met, they must have guessed part of the relationship between Zhou Xiaoli and Hong Tao, but they don't take these things seriously, in their concept, adults must deal with these problems by themselves, neither need parents to worry about it, nor do they need friends to interfere, it doesn't matter if you fail, you can get close to success if you fail a few more times, failure is the mother of success.

Their vacation is very short, not counting the day of the rush, only 4 days, and they didn't plan where they want to go to Toronto before they came, according to Katie, go to the place and then take the map to find it, find where it is, and plan the trip in advance is too boring.

Hong Tao doesn't like this, he runs around like a headless fly, which not only increases the risk factor, but also is likely to be poor in eating and fun, and unable to make effective use of time, in fact, this is the difference in living habits and culture.

In the eyes of young people like Erin, traveling is a very simple thing, like going to the toilet, you can go anytime, anywhere. So they don't regard travel as an important thing, nor do they regard travel as a kind of play, but as a way to experience life, so the purpose is not strong, in the words we are familiar with, it is about participation.

On the contrary, the high pressure of life and the cost of going out force us to treat travel as a hard-won commodity, so we must cherish it and strive to make every detail to the extreme, so as to be able to make full use of this trip and get the most benefits.

Hong Tao also wanted to go along with this trip, but he didn't know where to go for fun, so he couldn't provide any good advice, so he could only passively listen to the arrangement. And the Erin sisters and the black guy Jim are also a little undecided, the reason is not that they can't find a suitable ski resort, but that there are too many ski resorts, and they all look so formal and standard, which will make these three young people unable to unify their thoughts and understandings for a while.

Snow is the third most abundant in Canada after air and water, and you can see it for most of the year, and people here treat skiing and skating as if they were running and walking after dinner. Within a 2-hour drive of Toronto, you can find at least 10 large ski resorts, and there are countless small and medium-sized ski resorts, so if you want to play snow sports or ice sports, Canada is the right place.

"Come on, don't argue, I'll ask the locals, we spent a long time arguing, arguing for 2 hours, it's not as good as them saying a word, after all, we all read the introduction from the Internet, people have experienced it personally, what do you think?" Seeing that Katie and Erin were fighting over the number and difficulty of the slopes in several ski resorts, Hong Tao hurriedly stood up and played a round, and continued to discuss it like this, he had to make his own lunch, and he didn't even think about going out before dinner.

"Hong Tao is right, we haven't been there, why don't we ask the locals here, their opinions are the most valuable, do you know the neighbors here?" Jim also has a bit of a headache, and a ski resort he fancies is told by Katie and Erin that it's worth nothing.

"Acquaintance, not only acquaintance, but also friend, he took me to fishing, shooting, is a very good old man, wait, I tricked him over to ask." As soon as Hong Tao mentioned Old Gale, he immediately looked very proud, Zhou Xiaoli has lived here for several years, and the relationship with the surrounding neighbors is at most to the extent of borrowing 2 eggs, but he has already made friends after a few days, what does this mean? It shows that we are popular.

"This is your American friend, right? Surely you didn't ask me to come to lunch, don't you feel ashamed to deceive an old man with shredded meat? Soon after Hong Tao informed Old Gail on the phone to come over and eat shredded pork with Beijing sauce, Old Gail walked into the door of Zhou Xiaoli's house, and as soon as he entered the living room, the old man shook his head and exposed Hong Tao's conspiracy.

"How do you know about the Dao?" Hong Tao was not embarrassed at all because the lie was exposed, old Gail and Pavey liked to play pranks, they liked to joke by nature, and they were never in a hurry.

"Yesterday I saw the car parked in front of your house, with an American license plate, ladies, are you going to ask Captain Gale to do you any favor?" You have found the right person, don't listen to the lies of that Chinese, he is more good at cooking, everything else is this. Old Gale behaved like a young man from a university, and the folds on his face were flattened at the sight of a young girl.

"Hello, we are friends with Hong Tao, my name is Erin, at this time my sister Katie, at this time her boyfriend Jim, we are about to find a place to ski, but I don't know where to go more suitable, Hong Tao proposed to ask you for advice, he said that you are a warm-hearted and good person." Erin changed back to the form of the good girl she had when she first arrived in China, and it seems that the patent of seeing people talking about people and talking about ghosts is not something that Chinese can play well.

"I'm Katie, hello Mr. Captain, your beard is so pretty." Katie is much more straightforward than her sister, daring to say and do, God knows why the personalities of the twins are so different.
