The luxurious Cadillac sedan stopped in front of a dilapidated building, and the aunt didn't get out of her seat, but turned her head sideways and said to them, "Considering your financial situation when you first came here, the rent here is cheaper." ”

As she spoke, she took out an envelope from her designer wallet, "This is five hundred dollars, and my phone number, please accept it, you're welcome!" ”

Guo Yan took the envelope, got out of the car tremblingly, and approached the house, whose walls had been scribbled with unsightly paintings.

"We," Guo Yan asked, as if asking Shen Long, as if asking himself, "live here?" ”

"No!" My aunt leaned out of the car window and said to them, "These floors are too expensive, I have booked a basement for you, the rent deposit is a total of 400 yuan, plus the 500 yuan lent to you today, a total of 900 yuan, my uncle and I have something to do tomorrow morning, what is the difficulty to call after half past eight tomorrow night!" ”

After the aunt reported the detailed account to them, she moved the car and left here, Guo Yan looked at Shen Long, not knowing what to do, this was completely different from what she imagined.

"Let's go in," Shen Long proposed, standing for a moment.

"You go ahead!" Guo Yan looked at the door of the black hole in fear, the building was extremely dark, the dim one-star light not only did not bring light, but added a bit of ghostly energy, Shen Long pushed open the door of the basement, and the door groaned. An indescribable smell hits your face.

Guo Yan coughed twice, and Shen Long turned on the small yellow lamp, an empty wooden box for fruit used in the supermarket, two chairs with no backs, and a dirty double mattress - this is all the furniture.

Guo Yan walked to the empty wooden box in a daze, sat down slowly, supported his chin with both hands, and Shen Long went to check this room, there was a small suite in it, there was a small kitchen in the suite, he looked for a gas stove, the fire was quite strong, a large refrigerator more than one person high, not broken, it could be used, there was a bathroom next to the kitchen, and the faucet was turned on: hot water!

It's not bad, at least it's better than the starting conditions in "Blood Romance" and "Ordinary World", and Shen Long also believes that they can leave here in a month at most and go to a better place to live.

"How can Auntie do this? They have such a big house, and they left us here! This place is like America, it's like New York, and even our house in Beijing is not as good! After Guo Yan woke up, she was full of prison **** in a letter to her describing the United States as a paradise, and the letter also contained photos of her family's mansion, a three-story single-family villa with a garden and swimming pool.

On the plane to the United States, Guo Yan has always dreamed that she can live here, who knew that her aunt sent them directly to this kind of ghost place, and she didn't even arrange a meal, which made her full of grievances.

"Hey, be content, if you don't have the relationship with your aunt, the visa officer will pass us, and we can come to the United States." Shen Long sat down and patted her on the shoulder and comforted, he could quite understand Aunt Guo Yan's approach.

"No, I'm her niece, I came to the United States thousands of miles away, and she left me in this kind of place?" Guo Yan thought back to those homeless people and prostitutes outside, and couldn't help but shudder, this place is too dangerous, right?

"Maybe this is America! In the end, in a capitalist country, the relationship between people is very indifferent, isn't it written in the book, when the children of the United States reach the age of eighteen, the parents don't care, let alone the niece! Of course, this is just a rumor, and parents in the United States also need to have a headache for their children, but saying this can make Guo Yan's heart feel better.

"When relatives from other places come to our house, aren't you so annoyed?" Shen Long continued to comfort that Wang Qiming and Guo Yan's house in Beijing was only forty square meters, and it was already very crowded to accommodate them and their daughter Ning Ning.

For this reason, Guo Yan lost her temper several times, and said several times that she would never take in relatives and friends at home again, but now that she is in the United States, it is her turn to enjoy this treatment, but Guo Yan can't accept it.

"That's different, our house is a bigger place, so can we live in people? Auntie's house is a three-story building, and she can make room for us casually! Guo Yan still didn't figure it out.

"No matter how big the place is, it is also someone else's home, and suddenly the two of them get in, my aunt must feel awkward; And if we continue to live, my aunt will drive us away and make it even more unpleasant, so it is better not to let us live in the first place! "In fact, this is not only the difference between the cultures of China and the United States, but also the difference in economic development.

When Shen Long was a child, there were relatives from the countryside who came to the county seat and often lived in their house, and Shen Long also felt very uncomfortable; But when he went back all these years, it was less so.

First, many relatives from the countryside have moved to the city and have their own houses in the county seat; Second, now that the big guys have a good economic situation, there are more hotels and hotels, and they can live for a little money casually, so why go to other people's homes to find it uncomfortable? While it is uncomfortable for the host to live in someone else's home, the guest is even more uncomfortable.

"Moreover, I guess that my aunt's letter to you is only selected and said, if we pass, your uncle-in-law will definitely be unhappy." Regarding the age gap between Aunt Guo Yan and her uncle, Shen Long estimated that his aunt's status in the family was probably not high, and everything had to be decided by his uncle, if they passed, maybe it would affect the relationship between Aunt Guo Yan and her uncle.

"Hey, I thought America was heaven, but it just got off the plane and gave me a slap in the face." After being depressed for a while, Guo Yan also eased up, but a new question was placed in front of them, Guo Yan asked, "What should we do next?" I guess my aunt won't want to help with finding a job."

"The next thing is to eat first, after flying in the sky for so long, the little thing on the plane that can only be used to feed the birds is enough to eat! I still have a bag of instant noodles in my backpack, I'll give you something to eat, you go take a shower first! Shen Long was very calm, he was too familiar with this place in New York, and when he arrived here, it was like going home, how could he starve to death?

Although it was just a pack of instant noodles, Guo Yan, who had been hungry for a long time, was very satisfied, and after eating, the two of them lay on the bed, Guo Yan talked about the future again, "Qiming, you said that we can't even speak a few words of English, how can we find a job?" ”

"Don't worry, let's go to New York tomorrow first, and then slowly think about finding a job!" Shen Long said that he didn't plan to go to the restaurant to work for people anyway.
