friend

A few days later, Husky led Lao Li on the car to Boston for the first time, which was also the first time for her to take a Greyhound car.Because they only stayed in Boston for one night, and took the car back to New York the next afternoon, Husky and Lao Li each carried a schoolbag, which contained pajamas and a gift for Professor Yan.

It took five hours to wander around to Boston, which is not the end, because Boston is such a small place, and the hotels in the city are expensive and booked long ago, so the husky had to book in a small town nearby A small hotel.It was still light outside when we arrived at Boston South Station at [-]:[-], and it was already [-]:[-] when Husky and Lao Li arrived in the town by train, and the sky was dark.After getting off the train, I followed the directions on the map and walked forward for ten minutes. There was no one on either side, only a few shops with lights on, and no customers inside.

Lao Li didn't dare to go any further, and kept saying that this must be wrong, it couldn't be that far, they must have gone wrong.If it doesn't work, they'd better call a taxi, take a taxi, and spend some money. It's so late, she's afraid, it's not safe.

Husky closed his eyes and tried to swallow the anger in his heart. The map indicated this, and if he didn't follow the map, he still wanted to go.Moreover, taxis in the United States do not stop at the beck and call like in China, and they usually have to be booked in advance.What's more, Huskies don't know the phone number of the local taxi.And it's a place where half of the people are gone, so what are you afraid of?

It was so procrastinating, and the road was less than 1 kilometer, but Lao Li was forced to stop and go for half an hour. In the end, the husky really became angry, so you stop, and I will go by myself.

So they walked forward for a while until they came across a laundry shop with lights still on and a few figures.Lao Li stopped leaving immediately, and must go inside to ask someone.Either give them a little money and let someone take them there, or ask the taxi's phone number.

Husky took a deep breath, even she is not familiar with this place, so she must not get angry.After entering the laundry, Husky asked the clerk for the phone number of the local taxi. The clerk was a little bit embarrassed, they all had their own cars, and they didn't know the phone number, so they helped Husky to ask the last customer.In the end, the family knew it, but they wondered if the taxi company would be off work at this time.

"Then what should I do?" Lao Li became anxious all of a sudden, "Why did you book a place so far away? Why didn't you book in the city?"

"You can afford 300 yuan a night in the city?" Husky asked back, "and it's already booked out."

"Then you know it's hard to book, why didn't you book it earlier?" Old Li asked sharply.

Husky rolled his eyes, "You yourself told me the appointed time a few days ago, how could I book early?"

"You don't care about your own affairs." Lao Li frowned and shouted, "Okay, then you say to do this now!"

"What else can I do?" Husky also got a little angry, "Go ahead, or you will sleep on the street."

"I don't care." Lao Li leaned back on the table in the store, crossing his hands over his chest, "I'm definitely not leaving, that's for sure. It's dark outside, what should I do if something happens?"

Husky rolled his eyes, "Then you stay here." She tried not to raise her voice too loudly, "I see what you will do when the door is closed!" After she finished speaking, she walked outside without looking back.

"Excuse me." When Husky walked to the parking lot outside, the mother of the last customer came over, "Where are you going?"

"It's a small hotel." Panting, Husky tried to calm down her tone, and she handed the address to the Indian. At this time, the lights of the laundry shop were turned off, and there was no light around, and Lao Li was slow. Slowly walked out from inside.

The Indian mother yelled a few times in Hindi, and her husband got out of the car, and then the Indian mother handed over Husky's cell phone, "It's not far away."

"No," her husband looked at his phone, "Go down this street and turn left at the first intersection."

"But it's too late now," said the Indian mother.

"We can take them there." Her husband nodded. "We'll drop by."

"Really?" Husky couldn't believe it a little bit. She quickly waved to Lao Li, motioning for her to come over quickly, "They said they could take us there."

"Thank you so much." Lao Li said quickly.

"It's nothing, it's too late now," said Papa India, "get in the car."

After getting in the car, the Indian father asked them what they were doing here, and Husky explained that they were going to Boston, but the hotel was too expensive.Indian Papa nodded.

Lao Li fumbled in his small bag for a while, and somehow a Chinese knot came out. "This is for you." She handed the Chinese knot to the Indian mother. "This is brought from China, just a small gift."

The Indian mother beamed.

It's really not far to drive, just five or six minutes, and the small hotel is there.The husky got out of the car and said goodbye to the Indian couple, entered the front desk, and registered for the apartment.It was almost 6 o'clock when Husky and Lao Li took a shower and went to bed.

I got up the next day and had a breakfast downstairs. Huskies navigated to the train station through the hotel's wifi.After leaving the hotel, they saw clearly that there was a straight road outside. After walking along that road for more than 20 minutes, they saw the laundry shop from yesterday again.

"It was really thanks to that family yesterday." Lao Li said, "I definitely wouldn't dare to go this part of the road if they didn't send us off last night. You certainly wouldn't dare to go either."

Husky gave Lao Li a blank look and didn't want to talk.If you don't dare to leave, can you not leave?There are no shops in front of the village or behind this place. If you don’t go, why don’t you just sit on the side of the street all night?

After returning to Boston by train, Huskies took the subway to Brigham and Women's Hospital according to the already checked route.Because it was an hour earlier than the agreed time, Lao Li and Husky wandered aimlessly on the street, and they felt wrong.

"It seems, it is, Harvard Medical School." Lao Li blinked his eyes and looked at the English letters on the wall of a building.

"It seems, yes." Husky felt a little dazed, just like the suburban he saw last time.No, I'm even more confused than at that time. The legendary Harvard Medical School appeared in front of me like this. Husky really wanted to slap himself to make sure it wasn't a dream, but if this slap woke him up, That would be a big loss.

"Daughter," Lao Li touched the wall with Harvard's name engraved with a little excitement and yearning, "you have to work hard. If you can be admitted to Harvard, my mother will go bankrupt, throw everything away, and put our two houses together. If you sell it, you rent it out, and if you and your father go to rent a rental house, you will have to pay for it.”

Husky swallowed his throat, this may not be a question that can be passed by just working hard.Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for her to let Lao Li work hard for most of her life, and finally retired, and ended up living in a rented house without even a home of her own.No way.

The huskies took a few pictures for the excited Lao Li, and were dragged by Lao Li to take several photos. Many passers-by looked at them clearly.When the appointed time was almost up, Huskies and Lao Li walked into the tall gate of the hospital like countrymen. Lao Li sent a text message to Dr. Yan, and Dr. Yan replied quickly, with a big text message , pointing them to walk through the hurrying hall, through a small green yard, to another quiet building.

When they arrived at the designated location, Lao Li sent another message to Dr. Yan. This time, Dr. Yan did not reply to the message again. Just a few minutes later, the elevator in front of Huskies and the others opened, and an unattractive, slightly short woman in her 50s left. come out.

"Are you Xiaomei's friends?" Dr. Yan stretched out his hand and asked directly.

"Yes, yes." Husky nodded quickly and shook hands with Dr. Yan.

"Hi, everyone," Dr. Yan re-entered the elevator, "Come in, the office is on the second floor, so it's easy to find."

"Very easy, very easy." Lao Li said.Dr. Yan swiped his ID and pressed the button.

On the second floor, there is a laboratory on the opposite side of the elevator. The walls are covered with various articles. Huskies glanced over and saw several science and nature articles, and swallowed their throats. This is the real tallness!

Before Huskies finished feeling, Dr. Yan had already opened the door of his office and walked in.The moment he entered, Huskies had the feeling of being in a small library. The office was not big. There was a bookcase with the ceiling next to the door. Opposite the bookcase was a desk. Next to the desk was a small round table. The wall next to the round table was turned into a bulletin board, but whether it was the desk, the bookcase, the small round table or the bulletin board, all kinds of articles and books were densely packed. For a while, Husky even felt that he and Lao Li might be together. Not even a place to stand.

"Sit down." Dr. Yan pointed to the chair behind his desk and the chair beside the small round table, and Husky sat down obediently.This kind of highly respected scientist, Husky thinks that is the real goddess of knowledge.

"I heard from Xiaomei that the child is studying in New York? How did you come here?"

Lao Li immediately replied, "We came here by car, and then turned around here..."

"Train." Husky reminded and added, she suddenly thought of a scene in a movie before, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were asked by their private school teacher how they got there, Zhu Yingtai's housekeeper said every time a means of transportation, The teacher asked her to sit one space forward.But now, um, there are only three chairs in the whole room, and it's impossible for her to go any further.

"Yes, get it to a place far away." Lao Li said and glanced at Husky, "You tell the professor yourself."

Husky reported the name of the town, and then explained, "It's just to get to the South Railway Station, then take the small train, and walk a little bit."

"The road is also very remote. When I walked out this morning, I walked for more than half an hour." Lao Li said.

Dr. Yan nodded, she understood, she continued to ask, "Which school is the child in now, and what is he studying?"

Husky glanced at Lao Li and saw that she had no intention of answering, so he said, "Columbia University, Department of Biochemistry, now a sophomore."

Dr. Yan responded, "So after finishing reading, I want to do a Ph.D., right?"

"Then she must pass the exam." Lao Li said. "So, I just want to meet you today, please give me some pointers."

"That's usually enough to pass the exam." Dr. Yan leaned on the back of the chair, "It's another matter whether you can read it or not. The United States will give you 6 or 7 years, and you won't be able to read it." A graduation certificate is issued, which means that you have graduated from a graduate school."

Husky let out a sigh, so that’s the case. No wonder she read the PhD application a few days ago. The basic requirement is to graduate with a bachelor’s degree. She thought that the American people are so good that they can directly study for a Ph.D.

"So you want to come to Boston?" Dr. Yan asked.

"Yes." Lao Li nodded, "There are more schools here, and I heard that there are more pharmaceutical companies here."

"So the child wants to do medicine in the future." Dr. Yan said, "Did you do any research in school?"

"Yes." Lao Li said before Huskies wanted to answer, "She was doing research with a teacher at the school some time ago. Tell the professor what you are researching."

"A curcumin-like substance," Husky explained, "and our professor wants to be able to get a new curcumin-like substance into the brain."

Dr. Yan nodded, "Okay, then study hard now, and if you want to come over in the summer vacation, just tell me, and I will ask my secretary to send materials to your school."

Secretary, send information.Husky was stunned for a moment, she thanked him a little foolishly, and glanced at Lao Li, both of them were full of admiration in their eyes.

"Then let me show you around the laboratory." Dr. Yan stood up and walked towards the door while talking.

Lao Li gave Husky a glance, and Husky hurriedly took out Lao Li's perfectly packaged box from his schoolbag.

"Professor Yan," Lao Li took it and handed it to Professor Yan. "This is a special product of our Zhejiang province. It is a silk pajamas."

"You don't have to be so polite." Professor Yan took it, opened it for a look, and put it on the desk, "Next time, you don't need to bring anything." She walked out of the office as she said, Huskies and Lao Li quickly followed.

Visiting the laboratory, Huskies have completely entered the Grand View Garden this time.Husky has actually seen all the experimental equipment, but they are of different grades, such as the sterile operating table, the rows of utensils, petri dishes, and the boxes of high, medium and small gloves. , and the whole set of guns.Husky felt that he had really feasted his eyes today. Where did the "Analects of Confucius" say, the son heard "Shao" in Qi, and he didn't know the taste of meat in March.Her husky has opened her eyes today, um, although it doesn't mean that she doesn't know the taste of meat, but the meaning is not far behind anyway.

Dr. Yan led Huskies and Lao Li around the laboratory, and then sent them away.Sitting in the lobby of the hospital, Huskies were still under the impact of the large group of high-end equipment.

"Daughter," Lao Li sat beside the husky and patted the husky's leg, "You have to work hard. When the time comes, try to get into Boston and find a doctor. Then you will be happy for the rest of your life."

Husky nodded emphatically, he must pass the test and strive to be able to use such high-end and high-grade equipment.

Husky and Lao Li, who were not familiar with Boston at all, didn't stay long, and soon took the subway back to South Station, where they bought a sandwich, and the two of them got on the bus back to New York after splitting up.
