Chapter 9:

The Christmas dinner that night was very rich, everyone was very happy, Ye Tang looked at all this in front of him but somehow thought of the thousands of sails, prosperity and fleeting. It's like a shot in a movie, they're in it, and they're on the outside, they can't fit in, and they don't want to fit in. Frame by frame, she was so close to them, and so far away.

Kerwin is about the same age as Ye Tang, enthusiastic and cheerful, and a little beauty with a lot of personality.

“CY! I heard from my grandmother that you are going to work later, and we are going to play video games together, are you sure you won't come? ”

"No, you just have fun."

I saw that she raised her eyebrows, and with the beginning of the game, she no longer bothered with Ye Tang. Jeremy kept a "cold" face the whole time, quietly doing his own thing, if he hadn't occasionally looked up and saw the doting on his younger siblings in his eyes, he would probably think that he really had a bad temper.

Ye Tang watched the pointer slowly approach 10 o'clock, she went out and trotted to the bar. The boss was dressed very festively, his whole body was red, and it was estimated that he was treating Christmas as the New Year, and there were still many people in the bar, accompanied by soothing music playing in the bar, and some people danced a waltz.

She walked into the kitchen, put on her overalls, and shuttled back and forth between the guests, serving glasses of wine, juice and snacks. After 12 o'clock, the talent in the bar gradually decreased, and the boss called Ye Tang to him and introduced her to the proprietress .

"Ah Ruan, this is Ye Tang, I mentioned it to you. Xiao Tang, this is my wife, just call her Aunt Ruan. ”

"Xiao Tang, hey, look at what the child's dark circles have become, why don't you ask people to go back to rest early."

The proprietress nudged the boss slightly.

"Hello boss, it's because I'm usually busy with my studies, so I asked my boss to help me transfer to the night shift."

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, then smiled,

"Seeing that you are tired all night, then I will give you a bowl of noodles, this fabric and soup stock are authentic Chinese taste."

As soon as Ye Tang wanted to refuse, the boss answered:

"Then Mrs. Hardship will help me make a supper. Qiqi slept, right? I won't call her that. ”

The boss waited for the proprietress to walk into the kitchen, turned around and sighed to Ye Tang, who was a little stunned,

"Don, do you remember what I told you last time? You're just so good at carrying it, haven't you been to the bar this afternoon? Look, you were on your own last year. Although your boss and I can't say that people are absolutely accurate, I can say that I have eaten salt for so many years, and I can say that I can say that I am 12 out of 10. As for me, I don't ask about your private affairs, but Ah Ruan and I both treat you as family, and I hope that one day I will feel relaxed when I see you with a bright smile, instead of being like now, although it looks like it is just a little lighter, but the one on my back is very heavy. It's too stressful, and it's not good, is it? ”

"Ah Ruan will make noodles for you, you can eat them with peace of mind, if not, you can wash the dishes." In the future, I don't ask you to change it, but I just want to think about it when others show kindness to you. Your rejection will make others retreat, and it will also break the hearts of those who wish you well. This world is still very beautiful, there are many good people and things, even if there have been many unsatisfactory, so what? That doesn't stop you from starting a new life. Kid, you're far better than you think. You can also have dearest friends and loved ones. ”

"Ah, also, don't call me by the boss in the future, I'm all called serious by you, obviously I'm so interesting. Call me Uncle Yun, call Ah Ruan and call Aunt Ruan, do you hear it! ”

After speaking, Aunt Ruan just beckoned Uncle Yun to come in and get noodles in the kitchen, Uncle Yun smiled, patted Ye Tang's shoulder, and went into the kitchen, Ye Tang felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, this is the first time she has grown so big, and she feels the same temperature as her family. Unconsciously, my nose was a little sour, should I believe in this world once? Give yourself a chance.

Shaking her head, she went to the bar and got the chopsticks, and set them up on the seat, and when Uncle Yun came out, Ye Tang was standing there in a daze.

"Xiao Tang, this kid, is just too preoccupied, I don't trust others anymore, and I don't know what happened to her."

Uncle Yun said to Aunt Ruan.

…………

The noodles are actually rice noodles, and after asking Ye Tang if he eats spicy food, Aunt Ruan took out a jar of Yun family's secret hot sauce from the refrigerator, which is said to be made by her own hands. Ye Tang added a large spoonful and mixed it into the rice noodles. When I took a bite, the whole mouth was filled with the spicy taste of chili peppers, as well as the taste of hometown in rice noodles.

The steaming heat of the rice noodles hit Ye Tang's face, making her face wet. Tears suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she didn't know if it was spicy or what's wrong. Despite the numbness of her tongue, she was still stuffing rice noodles into her mouth, and for the first time, after coming to the United States, she had an emotional breakdown.

How can she not be wronged, those nights of licking alone, others have friends and family to talk to, and she only has silent tears. The bitterness and boredom in my heart have long accumulated, and sometimes when I look at the sky, I will feel breathless, but I grit my teeth and think about it, but I don't want to go back there.

The white gas and tears had already blurred Ye Tang's vision, and the spicy taste in her mouth made her seem to see a person, the person whose eyes were shining because of her dreams, the boy who had also sat here to eat noodles and release kindness to her. They were different, there was light in his eyes, and she seemed to be dim. But they are also trying to make their own way in this strange country.
