Chapter 235 234. Although Liang Yuan Is Good (2)

Walking on the road, everything is novel to Mr. Li.

Shirtless bodybuilders showing strong muscles, teenagers slapping basketballs, snake charmers wearing Speedo swimsuits, and Sikh bards roller skating, the Seaside Boulevard is very lively.

Along the way, gradually away from the coast, away from the hustle and bustle, the environment began to become quieter.

The small town imitates the water city, and there are Venice canals with complicated river courses in the territory.

Unlike the water city, the waterways of the small town are all artificially developed. As the saying goes, "Venice cannot be made without water." In order to reproduce the water city in Italy, the small town made great efforts to attract seawater into the man-made canals in the city.

Li Du walked leisurely on the gravel road, next to the canal, where the Moyang of Venice in the early years is still preserved, and there are boatmen shaking the boat Gonola, carrying tourists quietly shuttled on the artificial waterway.

The United States is a melting pot of immigrants, and most of the people working here are Italian residents, so listening to fluent Italian, it is really easy for people to misunderstand that they are in Shuicheng.

Palm-lined and tucked away among the riverbanks, there are boutique hotels, cafes, yoga studios and an art gallery, plus antique shops and pawn shops.

There is a logo of the Storage and Treasure Association on this kind of store, which means that workers in this industry are welcome to enter.

Li Du held back his curiosity and didn't go in. He wanted to take a vacation now and didn't want to get in touch with work-related matters.

Some seagulls and waterfowl stayed in the river, and someone sat on a nearby row of chairs and threw pieces of bread to feed the birds.

Li Du also sat on the row of chairs. He first called his parents and told them that he was fine now, and then gave them another 50,000 yuan.

Li's father and Li's mother are very happy that their son can make money in a foreign country, and he has made a lot of money.

But Li's mother felt sorry for her son and said, "Xiao Du, don't report good news but not bad ones, tell the truth to your parents. If you have trouble in the United States, tell your parents."

Li Du smiled and said, "I'm really good here. I also have a cat and a raccoon as pets. You and Dad can live a happy life at home."

Before hanging up the phone, Mother Li pondered for a while and said, "Well, Xiao Du, are you going home for the Chinese New Year this year?"

Last year during the Chinese New Year, he happened to encounter the school being closed down. He was upset and had a lot of things to do, so he didn't go home for the New Year.

Hearing the longing in his mother's words, Li Du said heavily: "I will definitely go back, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely go back to celebrate the New Year!"

With this promise, Li's mother burst into laughter at home.

He hung up the phone, and a mandarin with a strong southern accent rang: "Young man, are you here to study in the United States?"

Li Du looked back and saw an old Chinese gentleman with a cane smiling at him.

So he also smiled and said, "Yes, I came to study, but now I'm working. What about you? Are you an old immigrant?"

The old man came over to sit down with a smile, and said, "Yes, the old immigrant. After the collapse of the mainland in 1949, he followed his elders to the United States. This stay is for the rest of his life!"

As soon as Li Du heard it, he knew that the old man's family background should be inseparable from the Kuomintang, otherwise he would not have said something like 'the fall of the mainland'.

He avoided the subject and asked politely, "How do you feel after coming to America?"

The old man knocked on the gravel road with his crutches, his wrinkled face showed nostalgia, and said: "How do you feel? Being a stranger in a foreign land, although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a place to stay forever."

Li Du said: "If you want to go back to your hometown, you can go back now. The national policy is still very open."

The old man smiled wryly, and said, "Where is my hometown? I went back, and the people I knew are gone, the scenery has changed, and the whole village has been bulldozed and replaced with buildings."

As he spoke, he shook his head: "Now I can only comfort myself, saying that my hometown is where my relatives are. In fact, living in a barbarian land, surrounded by ghosts and demons--sorry, little brother, I have committed an old problem. Babbling."

Li Du said politely: "No, I understand your feelings, but I think your family and children are here, so it's good to be with your family, right?"

Speaking of the latter, he laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

People don't need him to comfort them, even if they miss their hometown, at least they can stay with their family, what about him? Separate from family and friends.

Gonjola shuttled back and forth in the river, many tourists were singing and laughing, and water birds flew up in groups on the water, which looked very lively.

But the more lively it was, the more Li Du missed his parents.

Ah Miao and Gan Jianmian, who were fighting, noticed the change in his mood, and immediately ran over and got into his arms, one left and one right, and Ah Miao licked his chin with her tongue, meowing meowing again and again.

It was already the time when the sun was setting in the west, and the fiery red sunset glow appeared in the sky, and the sun spread over the river, turning the rivers into fiery red.

He and the old man didn't introduce themselves, they just sat together and chatted without saying a word. When the sun went down, they waved goodbye and left.

After Li Du went back, Hans and the others were happily going out to go to the bar, and Hepi asked him if he wanted to go together.

He was still a little depressed at this moment, so he shook his head and said, "You guys are really energetic, I'm a little sleepy, go back to sleep."

Hans said: "We have to wake up at night, we are in the City of Angels! We have plenty of time to sleep tomorrow. Tomorrow we will go to Long Beach, go to the Sunshine Coast to bask in the sun and watch the beauties sleep well!"

Li Du said: "Then I have to recharge my batteries, you go and play, and the night's expenses will be credited to my account!"

After returning to the room, he opened the window and looked at the river not far away, turned on his mobile phone and started to communicate with old classmates and friends.

Some of his college classmates are also studying in the United States, but Mr. Li wants to save face. After the school was closed down, he stopped contacting his classmates and friends.

Today, after chatting with the homesick old man, he gained some understanding and reconnected with his friends and classmates.

Of course, the main reason is that he is doing well now, earning 150,000 yuan in an auction, and he still has 4-5 million watches and 5-6 million cash on him, so he has confidence unconsciously.

Their classmates have chat groups, which are also used abroad.

There is a time difference between the United States and China. Los Angeles uses the west coast time zone, which is 15 or 16 hours slower than BJ’s time. Therefore, it is evening for Li Du here, and it is noon in China, and his classmates are all there.

As soon as he showed up in the group, he only sent a greeting emoji, and the group of classmates exploded immediately.

Yu Wenjie: [Shocked] Damn, are you the wet person? Isn't it hacked?

Hu Haifeng: Damn it, wet man, you came out? I've already reported you as a missing person!

Li Zhihai: [Crying loudly] Damn it, everyone couldn't contact you a while ago and thought you were lost in the US Emperor, but you finally showed up!

Su Nan: Nothing wrong...
