As a result, life in Toronto progressed much faster than I had imagined. My life started to get back on track.

After continuing to work in the cake shop for two months, it occurred to me that I wanted to leave my job. After telling Arauy what he thought, Arauy just sighed softly: "Mu Xi, now, your passport is also back." Otherwise, you should go back to China. It's not a way to go on like this. ”

I smiled wryly: "Go back to China? Not back. If I wanted to go back, I would have done it a long time ago. I just wanted a different working environment. ”

"So, what if you ask your family to mail your academic qualifications and relevant work certificates in China? In that case, it's better to find some. Wait for the cake shop to be there, and I will talk to the store manager and give you a review of the excellent staff. I looked at Arauy and nodded.

That night, I texted Cao Ge, just to tell her that I wanted her to help me mail the relevant materials. But Cao Ge didn't reply to me until the next day.

In the text message, Cao Ge said that the child has been suffering from a fever recently and was in the hospital last night. If you're not in a hurry, you'll get it for me in a few days. I briefly inquired about the child's condition and sent an address, and it was settled.

A week later, I was working in the cake shop as usual. Because of the shift work, I went back late that day. When Arauy and I returned to our residence with a smile, we just turned the corner and saw my father and Cao Ge standing in front of the house, as well as Cui Yu.

Arauy nervously nudged me, "Hey! Mu Xi, look at it, look at it, is that a bad person at the door! How many people? But just like Asian! "At that time, I was standing in place, and these people in front of me suddenly made me fall into a panic! And their appearance also made me suddenly burst into tears in my heart. I didn't expect that they would come directly to the address I provided.

Cao Ge, who had been looking around, suddenly saw me around the corner, and she told her father beside her: "Mu Xi is there!" While speaking, her father and Cui Yu looked in the direction of her finger.

Arauy heard the man at the door calling my name, and looked at me in surprise: "Mu Xi, it seems, it seems to be looking for you." ”

I didn't answer.

Arauy took my hand and walked forward. When he was approaching the door, Cao Ge trotted up to meet him. I suddenly remembered something important, and whispered to Arauy, "Don't say I live in the basement." Arauy was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Yes! ”

"Mu Xi! I didn't expect to find the right one. Isn't it a surprise? I didn't expect that. Cao Ge smiled and gave me a hug. I replied with a stumbling face. And turned his gaze to the man at the door.

The moment their eyes met, I suddenly lowered my head.

I don't know if it was because of the dim lights or because of sentimentality, but the man at the door looked even thinner than he had been six months ago. The dark coat on his body made his whole person look even more old.

"Sister-in-law, you, why are you here?"

Cui Yu behind him shouted: "I said to send you a video, but your sister-in-law said that you didn't answer it twice, and I don't worry." Your dad wants to see how you're doing. No, it just so happened that you sent an address, I thought you were a fake address, but I didn't expect it to be true. I smiled.

Arauy walked ahead: "Uncle, aunt. I'm a friend of Mu Xi. Come, I'll open the door to you. It's been a long time. "Arauy was polite. Cao Ge whispered beside me and asked, "This is your new child." Yes, look at people, how good. ”

Cao Ge looked at me, arranging my hats and clothes, looking here and there, always trying to observe from the details how I was living in a foreign country.

The group entered the living room.

"What about Zhao Song?" Cui Yu suddenly turned around and asked me. This sentence stunned both Arauy and me.

"Ah, he lives near the unit, I, I live here."

"Isn't it divided?" Cui Yu asked with a smile.

"Mu Xi, if it's really divided, let's divide it. That's a ticking time bomb. If he does leave you, I'll be relieved. Cao Ge said earnestly.

Cao Ge watched my dwelling everywhere, and I still didn't recover from their sudden arrival.

"Mu Xi, this house is quite quiet. How many people live there? Landlord male or female? Which one do you live in? Faced with Cao Ge's series of questions, I suddenly lost my words. Arauy ran to Cao Ge's side: "Auntie, Mu Xi lives here." With that, he led Cao Ge to her bedroom.

Although the living environment here is qualitatively different from that in China, this simple and bright life is also within the scope of everyone's acceptance. Cao Ge looked at it, although he could see a little loss on his face, he was also accepting it.

Cao Ge, who came out of the bedroom, suddenly asked me, "Mu Xi, what have you been busy with lately?" Why do you need academic qualifications? Did you work? ”

Arauy hurriedly helped me again: "Auntie, don't worry, Mu Xi, now she is a little star in our store's head office!" She has now been transferred to the head office because of her outstanding performance. She's amazing! Cao Ge looked back at me: "Really?" Mu Xi? Not bad, huh? ”

I smiled awkwardly.

My father sat on the couch and never spoke. Cui Yu looked around, as if everything was fresh, and asked Arauy if he had nothing to do, where is there fun in Toronto.

Cao Ge, who had turned around, suddenly turned his head and asked Arauy, "You just said that the room in the east is a couple?" The other room is Mu Xi's, then, where do you live? ”

Arauy was stunned: "Ah, me, I live in the basement." ”

Cao Ge was obviously surprised, her eyes widened: "Basement? Do you live in a basement? Why? ”

"Ah, it's not an aunt, it's just, I'm just thinking it's easy to sleep. Maybe it's because I've been in Western countries that some things don't matter. I'm just putting more energy into something more meaningful. For example, travel and the like. Cao Ge came to the entrance of the basement.

"I, can I take a look?" Cao Ge was eager to see the living environment in the basement.

"Don't go to Auntie, it's just a bed. Nothing else. After Cao Ge listened, he stopped.

Back on the sofa, Cao Ge took my hand: "Mu Xi, no matter how you develop here, sister-in-law, I hope you return to China, even if you are not by our side, but it will not be so far, I have some bottom in my heart." ”

"Sister-in-law, since I've come here, I don't want to go back."

Cao Ge was stunned: "You mean you won't go back in the future?" As soon as I said this, I saw my father suddenly become nervous. He shifted his position on the couch slightly, then sat down again.

He seemed to be expecting my answer more than anyone else in the room. Actually, I didn't mean that.

"Besides, sister-in-law, who can know what will happen after this."
