Arrival (2)
In 1848, the first batch of Chinese arrived in California, and since then the number of Chinese to the United States has increased rapidly, and the Chinese who first arrived in the United States all called California as the Gold Mountain or the New Gold Mountain, and later because Australia also discovered gold mines, in order to show the difference, Australia was called the New Gold Mountain, and California was renamed San Francisco. San Francisco, also known as San Francisco or San Francisco, is an important seaport city in the western United States, a financial, trade and cultural center.
Over time, the contours of the port became clearer and clearer. Countless ships from all over the world flock to this busy port, dropping down tired travelers and piles of cargo, before turning around and sailing back into the depths of the ocean. Non-stop to carry civilization to the other side of the world.
The people on the ship have forgotten the fatigue of the journey, and the excited people are standing on the bow of the boat. People vent their joy for each other. Even the crew, who had long been accustomed to life at sea, smiled, and they couldn't wait to get a drink.
After another half hour, customs officers boarded the cruise ship. After the inspection, I waited for more than an hour, and finally received a notice that the ship was allowed to enter the port, and under the guidance of the port guide, the ship slowly docked at the edge of the pier. Lowering the suspension bridge, people can't wait to walk to the trestle, which is already full of waiting crowds.
Every left the contact information and address for Sun Qian and the others, and left with his family first. Miyamoto and Miyamoto were also picked up by the embassy staff who had been waiting for a long time. His next stop was to study at West Point. They take special passages, so they don't have to crowd with people.
Sun Qian and the others also forgot their troubles for a while, walked down the suspension bridge, and walked towards the trestle.
The station bridge is full of people, full of various languages, revealing the yearning for a new life.
Sun Qian and the others searched hard in the crowded crowd, and it took them a long time to find the young man holding their name tag at the edge of the crowd.
After introducing each other, the young man led the two to a truck pulling goods and drove towards their destination.
In the car, the guy introduced them to the place they were going. The guy's name is Ah Chen, and he is a guy in Wenbo's shop, a first-generation Chinese descendant. Wen Bo opened a restaurant in Chinatown, and in the morning, he had to prepare the business of the restaurant, so he asked Ah Chen, who was buying ingredients, to take the two back by the way.
Walking on the crowded road, the high-rise buildings on both sides surprised Sun Qian and the others, this is a city full of vitality and vitality.
People's faces are full of confidence and there is a sense of happiness everywhere.

When they arrived in Chinatown, Sun Qian and the others were even more surprised, this is a Chinatown, where they heard the familiar rural sound, and saw the Chinese on the street, as if they were in China.
Their eyes were full of joy.
"Brother Ah Chen, this place is just like China, I didn't come to the wrong place, right?" Sun Xing said excitedly.
"This is Chinatown, the largest Chinese community in San Francisco." Ah Chen explained.
"See, there is a Hokkien guild hall, and the opposite is an Anhui guild hall. Not far from there, there is a martial arts hall opened by Master Ma in Shandong, which specializes in teaching everyone martial arts and self-defense. Ah Chen introduced Chinatown to the two while driving. When they arrived at their own restaurant, after parking the car, they led the two directly to the second floor of the restaurant.
"Wenbo, the person has come back." Ah Chen said to a little old man who was busy.
Hearing the voice, Wen Bo turned his head and looked at Sun Qian and the others, with a happy expression on his face.
"Which of you is Sun Gan, I can't recognize it at once, you must know that I hugged you when I was a child", after speaking, he looked at the two and sighed, "So many years have passed in a flash." ”
Sun Qian hurriedly stepped forward to answer, "Uncle Wen, my little nephew Sun Qian has asked you for peace." “。
"This is Brother Xing, my companion from childhood to adulthood." Sun Qianshun brought Wen Bo to introduce Sun Xing.
"Haha, okay, good, it's good to come. The little ones probably haven't eaten yet, so I've prepared a breakfast for my hometown. You lick your stomach first, and then I'll wash you in the evening when it's night. After speaking, Wen Bo instructed Ah Chen to hurry up and bring the breakfast up. And instructed, "You eat slowly, if it's not enough, ask Ah Chen to add more." I have to get busy first, and after eating, let Ah Chen lead you to the place where you live. ”。
"Wenbo, you are busy, I am too rich early, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish eating." , Sun Qian hurriedly got up and said.
"Okay, you eat slowly!" After Wen Bo finished speaking, he was busy.
Ah Chen accompanied the two of them to eat breakfast, which was authentic soy milk with oil sticks and steamed buns, and pickles made in the store. Sun Qian and the others were addicted, and they hadn't eaten such an authentic breakfast for more than 20 days. The two of them ate with big bellies and round waists, and they couldn't even straighten their waists.
Ah Chen couldn't stop inhaling cold air on the side, thinking that these two had suffered an old sin!
After eating, Ah Chen led Sun Qian and the others to their residence. The house is not big, just enough for two people, Ah Chen cleaned it up in advance.
Entering the room, Ah Chen asked, "Young Master Sun, take a look at what is still missing, tell me that I will buy it again?" “。
"Brother Ah Chen, you can just call me Sun Qian. Don't be so polite, I think this place is very good, and the things are quite complete. You don't have to worry about it, if it's still missing, I'll let Brother Xing buy it. “。 Sun Qian hurriedly replied.
"Then you rest first, and I'll pick you up later." After speaking, he left and went back to the restaurant.
Sun Qian and the others were a little familiar with the environment, and after a simple wash, they rested separately.
fell asleep upside down, and the spirits of the two were completely relaxed, and they slept very sweetly.
When Ah Chen came to pick them up in the afternoon, the two were still asleep, looking at the age of Sun Qian and the others, Ah Chen also sighed, they had crossed the ocean at such a young age, and they didn't know how many sins they had suffered along the way.
woke up the two, and Ah Chen drove the two to the restaurant.
led the two directly to the box on the second floor of the restaurant, and the Wenbo family was waiting at the door early.
Everyone sat down after a round of pleasantries.
"Qian'er, Brother Xing, let me introduce you. This is your aunt. Wenbo said and pointed to the woman beside him.
Sun Qian and the others hurriedly got up and said hello, "Aunt Wen, my little nephew has asked you to say goodbye, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so young." ”。
"Qian'er's little mouth is still so sweet, I remember when I was a child, I would ask my aunt to cheat on candy to eat it one bite at a time." Aunt Wen said jokingly.
Then Wen Bo introduced several other people, "This is your eldest brother Jiaxuan and his daughter-in-law, this is your second brother Jiaren, this is your sister Jiahui, and Ah Chen, who is your sister Jiahui's future husband." “。
Sun Qian and the others hurriedly greeted everyone one by one. He also brought out the gifts he had brought from his hometown.
Knowing that Wen Bo was good at wine, Sun Da specially prepared two bottles of Hengshui Lao Baigan for Wen Bo, and after seeing the wine that Sun Qian took out, Wen Bo called it good wine, and quickly asked Aunt Wen to put it away.
After that, Sun Xing also took out the gifts prepared for others, and when everyone saw the gifts that Sun Qian and the others had brought from China, their eyes were red.
People who do not live in a foreign country will never understand the concern for the motherland as a foreigner.
Everyone sat down again, and Wen Bo prepared sumptuous food for Sun Qian and the others.
Everyone was chatting while eating, and the people of the Wen family did not know the reason why Sun Qian and the others came to the United States, but they knew that the two were here to study, and when they heard that the Sun family was made to run around by the ruffians, they were all filled with righteous indignation. After Sun Qian and the others introduced the people and things they met along the way, everyone in the Wen family sighed that these two guys were really lucky.
Everyone chatted until the middle of the month.
Or Ah Chen sent Sun Qian and the others back, in the car, Sun Xing didn't forget to tease Ah Chen, "Brother Chen, didn't you say that you are a buddy in the store, you are our brother-in-law after a long time!" “。
Ah Chen only smiled shyly and said, "Isn't it that you haven't married yet, I'm afraid that if you say it early, I'm afraid it will be told by your sister Jiahui."
As soon as these words came out, Sun Qian and the others laughed, and they were strict with their wives after making trouble for a long time.
When they arrived at the residence of the two, Ah Chen told Sun Qian and the others, "Ah Gan, Ah Xing, I will take you to Wen Bo's house for breakfast tomorrow morning, and then I will take you around." “。
"Okay, Brother Chen. Thank you for your hard work, the two of us just want to go around. Sun Qian hurriedly replied.
"Okay, you guys rest early, I'll go first, and I'll come back tomorrow morning to pick you up." Ah Chen turned around and left after speaking.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Ah Chen came over early in the morning to pick up Sun Qian and the two came to Wen Bo's house.
