Wang Jie jumped off the school bus, bored and kicked a stone on the road in front of him, and at the end of another day, he carried his schoolbag and walked home slowly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wang Jie came to the United States three years ago with his uncle, and his uncle resolutely gave up everything at the end of the 80s, went to the United States, worked hard from scratch, and after gaining a firm foothold, he went home to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, and saw Wang Jie who was reading quietly alone, so his uncle said to his only sister: "I think Xiaojie, this child is a reading material, why don't you give it to me and take it out to see." So, Wang Jie started his study abroad career in 93.

Now the family lives in an apartment in the Santa Monica district of Los Angeles, relying on my uncle and aunt to open a Chinese restaurant together, downstairs is the restaurant, people live upstairs, in order to choose this place with better security and more passenger flow, my uncle looked at the brochure brought by the real estate agent, studied it for a long time, and then decided to do it.

A few years ago, there was a riot in the downtown area of Los Angeles, so it was not peaceful, so even if the funds on hand were not rich, they chose this place near Olympic Street, and among the first factors considered by the uncle and aunt, the public school here was barely chaotic, although the rent and taxes were higher, and they could be tolerated.

My aunt and uncle have a son who is just five years old this year, not yet old enough to go to school, but he is quite obedient and stays in the restaurant every day to play by himself. Wang Jie's study abroad career did not happen to all kinds of stories that he saw in daily life, his uncle and aunt are very simple people, and the days pass like this.

Every afternoon, after school, Wang Jie can't learn to participate in the "after-school activities" of various club classes, but hurries back home to help, the restaurant is always busy at night, and the small shop in order to save expenses, so only the uncle and aunt are busy, the day is fine, and dinner is always the busiest.

Although the location here is not one of those expensive expensive neighborhoods, there are not many "high-risk" groups such as blacks and South Americans, and 30% of them are Chinese, and the law and order is also okay.

The customer positioning of this restaurant is mainly to nearby residents, supplemented by a small number of tourists, in general, every night before eight o'clock, you can close and rest, relying on the authentic craftsmanship, nearby residents in the home home too late to cook, or need to add food, will always habitually come to buy a meal, of course, sell is improved, "American Chinese food".

After finishing the restaurant, he and his uncle said a few words about the school, and began to go upstairs to study, he is already in the ninth grade this year, and the summer vacation is coming soon, it's time to start preparing for the SAT exam, as a Chinese, many people say anything, if you can't get A, it's a failure, in his opinion, this is obviously a 2 goods view, the SAT is just a reference for applying for college, and the nerd who took a bunch of A is not an example of not being rejected by the university, all kinds of gorgeous, rich, so-called extracurricular activities, Activities to increase the success rate of entrance examinations often cost money, and the middle class relies on this system to ensure that their descendants will always be the wave with a high standard of education.

That's off-topic.

After completing a short essay about your favorite historical figure and describing his/her contributions, and completing the pre-study that needs to be done, and two months of exams, he has been learning like this until 12 o'clock lately, during which his aunt only brought a small amount of milk as a supplement for supper, and he has already rested, after all, he has to get up early tomorrow morning to go to the vegetable market to buy goods.

If the biggest change in life habits after coming to the United States is that after finishing his studies every night, he is used to taking a bath before going to bed.

Looking at the mirror in the bathroom, Wang Jie tidied up his hair, he is 15 years old this year, his height and body are quite well-proportioned, his eyes are big, dark black, his eyebrows are not thick or thin, and his face is a very ordinary face, but these eyes are quite good.

Picking up the toothpaste and toothbrush, he began to brush his teeth, the mirror was a little dirty, he rubbed it with his hand, but the mirror was crooked, after brushing his teeth, he first took off the mirror, wiped it, and then prepared to hang it again, but on the original wall behind the mirror, he found a hole, which was the space left after a brick was dug up.

This house has been rented for only a few years, and it has not been renovated after renting, and after buying the necessary furniture, Wang Jie has the impression that the mirror is before renting, it has been hung here, he is curious, and looks inside, there is a small iron box, he took out the iron box, and then hung the mirror, a lot of dust has accumulated on the box, and after wiping it with a piece of toilet paper. Wiping the water from his body, he went back to his bedroom and took a closer look.

This is a very delicate iron box, the size of the palm, very comfortable to hold in the hand, there are various complex patterns on it, he can't describe, under the lamp, the black iron box is very beautiful, this may be the last tenant here forgot here, Wang Jie carefully opened the box, the things inside are well preserved, a piece of letter paper, a piece of jade, tied with a thin cloth line, the thing is not big, can be held in the palm of the hand, he looked at it, touched a very round stone, white texture, very crystal clear, It is engraved with four small characters, Chinese characters, Tongling Baoyu, traditional Chinese.

came to the United States from China for three years, but Wang Jie has loved to read all kinds of books since he was a child, and he has read a good amount, knowing that this is Jia Baoyu in Dream of Red Mansions, and it seems that there is a TV series, which is the Dream of Red Mansions.

Vassalage elegance, carved the words "Tongling Baoyu", I thought I was Jia Baoyu? He shook his head, for the Dream of Red Mansions, his understanding is that Jia Baoyu is in the big garden every day with a large group of beautiful girls all day long to visit me and me, but he also knows that gold is priceless and jade is priceless, although this jade has no carved patterns, but it is very beautiful, it is very comfortable to hold in his hands, he even feels that there is a cool air, not the kind of cold that freezes people, but a refreshing and comfortable cool, cool, from the jade along the hands all over the body.

So comfortable, he opened the folded boxy paper, the handwriting according to his thoughts, is Chinese, traditional characters, "Occasionally get the treasure jade, step into the magic, the realm breakthrough, seal this strange treasure, waiting for fate, California Li Zhenfan." ”

Who is California Li Zhenfan and why is the name so familiar? A very Chinese jade, engraved with the words Tongling Baoyu, comes from the hands of the Chinese is very reasonable, the surname Li itself is a large number of surnames, which does not mean anything, Wang Jie put the note and jade on the bedside table, turned off the light, and slept.

In his sleep, Wang Jie dreamed that he came out of his house and walked on the street, when a big man rushed towards him, first shot at him, Wang Jie lowered his head and dodged, dodged, and then also took out a pistol and fired back.

With each shot, he could hit the big man, but the big man seemed to be unconscious, and began to walk towards him step by step, and as he continued to hit, the big man revealed his true face, which was the terminator played by Schwarzenegger, revealing metal bones and glowing eyes.

The gun was no longer able to stop the terminator, Wang Jie threw all kinds of things that his hand could grasp, and the more he threw it, the more nervous he became, panting, but it had no effect, and finally, he grabbed the "Tongling Jade" and threw it over.

The "Terminator" caught the "Tongling Jade" at once, grabbed it in his hand, and suddenly laughed at Wang Jie, revealing his steel teeth, which seemed to have a sense of mockery, and after a while, the "Terminator" suddenly melted into powder and fell there without moving, and the "Tongling Jade" also turned into powder together.

Wang Jie felt the indescribable discomfort in his chest, he leaned up, shouted "ah," and woke up, on the bed in the bedroom.

It's a dream, he must have watched too many movies, Wang Jie laughed at himself, at this time it was already dawn, his bedroom was facing the sea, the sun that could be seen was already very strong, he looked at the "Tongling Jade" on the bedside table, he reached out and held it in his hand, and said: "Fate is destined, it must be my subconscious that I can't do without you." ”

He hung the stone around his neck, put it against his body, and felt a cool feeling, and the person was refreshed at once, I don't know if it was his delusion or what, he felt a cool breath coming from Baoyu, as if it was along the blood, walking around every place on his body, he stretched his waist, and started his life again.
