Chapter 30 Being a Stranger in a Foreign Land

Time is always like this, no matter whether you are happy or not, it just goes on on its own, and life has to go on. On the other side of the ocean, Yu Yang is tired of running for a living.

After Yu Yang came here, the first thing that troubled him the most was the language barrier. He couldn't help laughing at himself, he knew that one day he would come to the United States and learn English to the death. But it was hard to buy that just a few months ago he was a poor student who only required grades to be on the verge of passing, and now he had to force himself to be an honor student.

Yu Yang's uncle connected him with a school, where he majored in finance. Outside of class, he also has three part-time jobs a day, and the family's expenses in the United States are very large, and they don't bring much money, and they have to keep some of it for his father's surgery.

Because of this blow, his mother's health has become worse, he has to take care of it multilaterally, setbacks are always easy to grow, he seems to have matured a lot in an instant, and he took on this traumatized home alone.

Life did not allow him to relax, and he and his mother lived in a small room of less than 30 square meters every day, eating the cheapest local food every day. He knew that he had to work harder to get out of his current predicament, and that busyness was the best medicine to heal his wounds.

Often, when he came back from work at night, he was tired and couldn't say a word, his mother was very distressed when he saw it, and his son was pampered since he was a child, but now he has suffered in a foreign country.

"Yangyang, I'm sorry, it's my mother who dragged you down." Yu Yang's mother always waited for her son to come back no matter how late it was.

"Mom, don't say that, I'm not tired at all, I'll go read a book again, you go to bed early." Yu Yang can already face all this calmly gradually.

"You should rest early, seeing that you have lost so much weight for a while, my mother looks distressed, my mother stewed soup for you, and my mother will serve you some" Mom choked up as she said and didn't say anything more.

"Mom, don't always be reluctant to eat and leave it to me, I can eat enough in the store, and I even ate a burger before I came back, don't worry. By the way, I see that you have run out of medicine, and I just bought you some on the way back, remember to take it on time. "Being strong in a dress is already a matter of convenience for Young.

The mother turned her back sadly, she knew that her son was tired and his eyes were sunken, but he was still revising his homework. He was so tired that several times he had just picked up the book, he was so tired that he fell asleep, woke up in the middle of the night, quickly made himself a cup of coffee, and continued reading.

She was angry with her own body and couldn't share it for her son, but her condition deteriorated, and the more worried she was, the more uncontrollable her body became, and the more serious she became.

Life weighed heavily on Young, and several times he was so tired that he wanted to cry. It turned out that he was a carefree big boy, but now he no longer has the capital to be willful.

If there is only one thought in such a hard time, it is Xiaojing. It's been more than two months since he left her, and he wants to know how she's doing.

She was the backbone of his troubled life. He thought that if she faced this, maybe she would be stronger than herself, and she would do better. She always faced life so optimistically, he thought that maybe without her, she could go on strongly.

He often recalled the beauty of their past, her laughter, her tears, they hugged each other in the moonlight, kissed in the starlight, and the days with her were always so happy and happy, often he thought about it, and tears moistened his eyes.

Of course, he never dared to think about the harm he had caused her. Once he thinks like this, the past will become disillusioned, and he does not want to face such a cruel reality. How did he have to give her up like this?

But she didn't know anything, she might be there to ask questions over and over again, and maybe she would cry for herself again and again. The thought of her tears made his heart throb and he couldn't breathe.

There were times when he picked up the phone in the phone booth, and he wanted to hear her voice, but the phone had not been dialed, and he hung up weakly.

He thought so much and let her know that he missed her so madly, he missed her voice, he missed her breath, he missed her hugs, he missed everything about her. She was always the most comforting to him, and at this moment he wished she could say to himself: "Come on, I'll wait for you!" ”

But soon, reality pulled him back ruthlessly: his father's surgery was postponed indefinitely because he couldn't find a matching heart, and the family had a huge debt to repay, and he couldn't see his future.

If you can't give her anything, how can you bear to interfere with her life again? The despair of the uncertain future suffocated him, and he had to let go of his feelings once again, thinking that maybe this was the best choice for each other.

Later, whenever he thought of her, he used his hand as an earpiece and said to himself into the air:

"Girl, are you okay? I miss you so much. ”

"Girl, I'm sorry, I'm not here, you have to be fine."

This day was the first Mid-Autumn Festival night for their family in the United States, Yu Yang really couldn't reunite with his family, he was reluctant to ask for leave, and every penny of his money was good.

Before going out, his mother took a moon cake and stuffed it into his hand: "Yangyang, this is given by the owner of the Chinese restaurant at the intersection, I'm sorry, my mother almost made you unable to eat a piece of moon cake." "Mom's eyes are red, and her son knows best, and he has always liked mooncakes with bean paste and egg yolk.

"Mom, you say this again, I don't like sweets, you can keep it for yourself." Yu Yang also knew his mother's intentions, and how many times he came here when he was tired and weak, he was not as sad as he was at this moment. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would let his family live a good life.

"Mom knows it's not your liking, so you're going to eat it. Next year, Mom will definitely buy you a lot so that you can eat enough. ”

Yu Yang squeezed a smile from the corner of his mouth, then took apart the moon cake, broke half and stuffed it into his mouth: "We are one and a half, for me the reunion of the family is more important than anything else." ”

"Yes, yes, Mom eats it too. Mom went to the hospital to see your dad after eating. ”

The mother and son were eating moon cakes, looking at each other and smiling, as if time had gone back to the past. But now, a piece of moon cake has become a luxury, but life is still in front of him, no matter how difficult it is, Yu Yang has to grit his teeth and move forward.

Finally finished a night's work, Yu Yang climbed to the top of the building tiredly, he didn't know how long he hadn't looked up at the sky like this, because he was always in a hurry.

Today's moon is indeed very large, but the moon in foreign countries is not particularly round. There are always so many people who yearn for life in the United States, but they don't know how many Chinese and Chinese Americans live here.

He looked at the moon and remembered Xiaojing again, the last time he admired the moon like this, he was with her. On such a lonely night, his thoughts were even more crazy, he shouted Xiaojing's name over and over again, and all that responded to him in front of him was a strange light.

Tired of shouting, he pulled out the sticker they had taken for the first time from his wallet, touched the face of the girl in the photo, and hot tears slipped down his cheeks.

It was also this night that Xiaojing came to the beach alone, looking at the bright moon that symbolized reunion, she felt extremely lonely.

This is where they went on their first date, and where he gave her the moon bud necklace, and their past is still vivid, but he is no longer around.

She wandered back and forth by the sea, and her thoughts came like a tide. She was angry, she was sad, how could he just walk away as if none of this had happened, leaving her alone to bear, and her heart felt an indescribable pain.

She couldn't help shouting at the beach: "Yu Yang, you big villain, big liar!" You said you were going to come back and set off fireworks for me, how can you talk like that and don't count? ”......

"Yu Yang, where are you? I've been waiting for you so hard."

"Yu Yang, I miss you so much, come back quickly, I'm not angry with you."

"You said you wouldn't leave me, what should I do alone?" Her shouts grew quieter, but there was no response except for the sound of the waves.

She didn't know how long she had been crying, she felt like she had been crying for a century.

Probably because of this, she finally cried all her tears this night.

After she returned, no one saw her cry again.
