Chapter 127: We Are Family

After returning to the dormitory, Song Haowen stood in front of the window and looked out, and the twin high-rise buildings of the trade center in the distance were impressive, and he was far away from his previous life at this time

There are still 20 years to go in the "plane collision" incident, and everything looks so peaceful and domineering. Past

Before and after the "collision", Song Haowen had been to the city, and he felt that since that incident, the United States has slowly tore off the veil of hypocrisy, become hideous, open its fangs, and attack everywhere.

The sparks from the building exploded to many countries, destroying countless lives. Song Haowen sighed and stopped thinking about these annoying things.

He took out a note with Tian Yuxi's address from his pocket, and thought that Tian Yuxi's place of residence was more than 300 kilometers away, but he couldn't contact him because he didn't have a phone, so he was a little anxious.

Meeting her was one of the purposes of his trip. Song Haowen couldn't stay in the dormitory any longer, he directly found the translator and asked her if she had time to walk around the street with him, the translator happened to want to go out, the two hit it off, and immediately asked the leader for leave, and after the leader agreed, the two went out happily.

The translator is a girl in her twenties, named Yang Yuebing, with a cheerful personality, fair skin and beautiful appearance, and a model figure.

My parents used to be Chinese diplomats in Mi, and they were transferred back to the Chinese Foreign Affairs Commission two years ago. After graduating from primary school, she settled in the United States with her parents, completed middle school and university in the United States, and after graduating from the Yale School of Economics last year, she returned to China and was arranged to work in the Translation Department of the Ministry of Economic and Trade Department.

Although Yang Yuebing has not been back to China for a long time, he has long known that Song Haowen is his loyal fan, so the two quickly became friends.

When she heard that she had a friend studying at Harvard, she told him, "There is a shuttle bus from New York to Boston, which takes about four hours." If you take a taxi, if you go fast, the road will take less than three hours. It's seven o'clock in the morning, and if you leave now, you can get there around ten o'clock. Song Haowen became excited when he heard this.

"Then I'll hurry up and ask the leader for a leave." Yang Yuebing smiled: "How can I ask for leave for this matter?" Take a leave of absence, and you won't want to go anywhere. Song Haowen hesitated: "If you don't ask for leave, will I just go directly?" Not afraid to make mistakes? Yang Yuebing shook her head and said, "As long as you don't do bad things, what are you afraid of?" We took leave and came out without elaborating where we were, as long as we went back on time, it was fine. When Song Haowen heard this, he was relieved, and immediately stood on the side of the street to stop a taxi, and quickly stopped one.

Song Haowen told the black driver the address, and the other party said that he was willing to go over, but he only asked for fifty dollars.

Song Haowen thought about it, no matter the price, and then agreed. Song Haowen took a taxi, Yang Yuebing didn't say a word from beginning to end, it was all him who communicated with the driver.

At this time, she realized how good his foreign language was, and it seemed that it was no worse than her, a translator who had lived in the United States for nearly ten years, and she couldn't help but have another layer of respect for him.

After the taxi stopped, Song Haowen asked Yang Yuebing to get in the car first. At this time, Yang Yuebing thought for a while and said, I won't go with you, you are so good at foreign language, there should be no problem in communication.

Remember to come back early, we made an appointment to meet here at 6 p.m., and we will see you there. Then go back to the hotel together.

Song Haowen was moved in his heart and spoke

"Thank you" and got into the taxi alone. After talking, Song Haowen learned that the taxi driver's name was Tom.

Tom is very funny and talkative, and he talks non-stop along the way, which also makes the two not feel lonely on the journey. In his previous life, in 2002, Song Haowen once went on a business trip to the company and came to Boston once, and he was no stranger to this place, looking at the scenery on both sides of the highway, which was not much different from what he saw in his previous life.

While chatting with the driver and enjoying the scenery outside the window, the journey of more than two hours felt like a flash of effort, and before he knew it, they had arrived at their destination.

Because it was the summer vacation of the United States School, Song Haowen asked the taxi to drive directly to Tian Yuxi's accommodation.

Because she could not be notified in advance, Song Haowen did not know that she was not at home. According to the address, Song Haowen came to a residential community, which were all small red brick houses with two or three floors, and he stood outside the garden in front of a bungalow, shouting inside in Chinese: "Is Tian Yuxi there?" There was no response to the first sound, Song Haowen shouted a second time, and then a window on the second floor opened, and a head with long hair stretched out, and suddenly, the other party let out a scream, and then, the eyes of the two met at once.

"Sister Tian." Song Haowen shouted excitedly.

"Howen, is it really you?" Tian Yuxi was a little incredulous.

"It's not a dream, is it?"

"It's a dream, a dream. Come down and touch me if it's real. Song Haowen said with a grin.

"You wait!" Tian Yuxi rushed down from the upstairs quickly, ran to Song Haowen, touched his face with his hand, and suddenly hugged him tightly.

"It's really you! Don't go! Song Haowen hugged Tian Yuxi tightly with his backhand, and when he saw her burst into tears, he couldn't help but have a sour nose.

"Don't worry, I won't go. Sister Tian, I'm afraid you're not in the dormitory. ”

"Let's go, follow me to the dorm room for a cup of tea." Tian Yuxi excitedly took Song Haowen's hand and took her to a rented single dormitory, which had a bed, a hanging wardrobe, a small square table, and a floor fan.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on, how did you get here?" Song Haowen said that he would come to New York to participate in the competition.

Tian Yuxi couldn't help but worry when he heard this. Song Haowen hurriedly comforted Tian Yuxi and said, "Don't worry, this competition is an exhibition match, and if you don't move seriously, you won't be injured so easily." Although Tian Yuxi was still a little uneasy in his heart, he knew that the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to say more, so he could only persuade Song Haowen to be more careful.

He asked her about her here, and she said, "I'm going to take you to my school and tell you about me by the way." After saying that, she first invited him to eat some snacks, and then took him out, introducing her situation as she went.

She said that she has basically adapted to it, and it is estimated that there will be no big problem with foreign language training this summer, and she should be able to graduate on time in a year.

Once she gets her bachelor's degree, she will no longer go to graduate school and will return to China immediately. Although the material conditions here are good, she doesn't want to stay longer for a moment, she is so homesick and misses their relatives and friends.

"Sister Tian, you've been abroad for almost a year, why don't you write me a letter?" Song Haowen was walking with Tian Yuxi on campus when he suddenly thought of this question.

Tian Yuxi was silent for a while when he heard this, and said, "Do you remember the envelope you forced into me when you went abroad?" ”

"Yes. Inside was 10,000 pieces of cash. How to pull? Song Haowen asked puzzled. Tian Yuxi looked at Song Haowen and said, "I know, you gave me money, it was a good intention, but do you know how much trouble you have caused?" When I went through the security check, after the money was found out, because the amount was huge, if it wasn't for the teachers and classmates who led the team to testify, it means that the money was just given by a friend, I didn't know in advance, and I didn't open the envelope to see it, I didn't mean to smuggle it, or it was the first time I went abroad, and I didn't know the rules. In the end, the border inspectors showed mercy and ruled that only 10,000 yuan in cash would be confiscated from me, and no other penalties would be imposed, and I would be allowed to board the plane and leave the country. ”

"Ah, I forgot, I'm sorry." Song Haowen regretted it. Before he was reborn, he could carry up to 20,000 yuan in cash when he went abroad, but now he can only bring 1,200 yuan in cash.

For now, 10,000 yuan is indeed a huge amount of money, equivalent to millions of yuan in the previous life, such a large amount, if you don't get it right, you can be sentenced.

"I didn't expect my good things to turn into bad things, not only did I fail to help you, but I almost hurt you."

"What a big amount of 10,000 yuan, you dare to give it? You're too generous, too. Unfortunately, in the end it was confiscated. For this reason, I was sad for a long time, both distressed about money, and hated myself for being confused, how could I forget the rules that the teacher repeatedly emphasized when I went abroad for training, how much cash I can bring when I go abroad, and how much dollar cash I can bring when I return home. Because of this, I have never dared to write to you, and how many times have I picked up the pen and put it down, for fear of touching this sad matter. …… I beg your pardon for that. Tian Yuxi said in the end, his eyes were red, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Song Haowen kissed Tian Yuxi's smooth forehead distressedly, took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her tears, and comforted her with a smile: "This money was confiscated by the state, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the country, it is better than losing it abroad." After you return to China, I will give you a big red envelope of 10,000 yuan to make up for your losses, and see who dares to confiscate my red envelope? Tian Yuxi burst into tears and laughed, and couldn't help but punch Song Haowen in the chest.

"I know you're rich, but I can't accept such a big red envelope from you, there's no reason." Song Haowen said disapprehantly: "What is no reason? I volunteered, what other reasons do I need? Tell you something. The other day at your house, I also talked about doing your parents' son's business, and they were also very supportive, just saying that they wanted to ask for your opinion. If you're okay, it's settled. At that time, you will be my own sister, we are a family, and it is not natural for my younger brother to give my sister a red envelope? Tian Yuxi's face suddenly turned cold, and said, "I don't agree with this." Song Haowen was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Tian Yuxi didn't explain, but just took Song Haowen to sightseeing around the Harvard campus. At this time, because the campus is on summer vacation, there are few pedestrians inside, and there are many tourists.

At noon, she took him to the school KFC restaurant to eat fast food, and ordered fried chicken, hamburgers, fries and other foods that were not yet available in China to entertain him, but he didn't know that he was almost tired of eating these things in his previous life.

After lunch, Song Haowen proposed that because he had come without the delegation and could not return late, he would return to New York immediately.

Tian Yuxi was going to go with him. He said that tomorrow will be the training camp and the day after tomorrow, and he will be busy in the past two days, so he can't ask for leave to go out, and he has no time to accompany her.

According to the plan, there will be two days of free time after the game, and if she is free, she can go to his accommodation to find him, and they will play together in New York.

Tian Yuxi hesitated for a while before reluctantly agreeing not to go back with him, promising to go to him early the day after tomorrow.

Song Haowen told her the hotel address and room number, then got into a taxi and waved goodbye to her.
