Chinese ship across the ocean

The female investigator said, "Shall we talk in the study?"

Lu Shaorong smiled and said, "Okay."

Zhan Yang sat up straight anxiously, and said, "Should we talk separately?"

The male investigator said casually: "The new plan will be implemented on January 1 this year, please understand."

Zhan Yang: "Huh? No problem, shall we start now?"

Zhan Yang lit a cigarette, and Lu Shaorong and the female investigator entered the study room. He closed the door, tiptoed to get the tea from the top shelf, and said with a smile, "What's your name?"

The female investigator replied gently: "You can call me Linda, Mr. Lu."

Lu Shaorong turned on the electric kettle, brewed two cups of Pu'er, and introduced: "This is the Chinese tea I brought from home."

Linda smiled and said, "Thank you, your Chinese families are very hospitable." She put a wallet-sized portable computer on the desk, and Lu Shaorong noticed that the red light on the side of the computer began to flash, knowing that the recording function was turned on.

"It will be Americans soon." Lu Shaorong replied a little sadly.

Linda asked, "Do you like New York?"

Lu Shaorong thought for a while and replied: "Frankly speaking, I haven't integrated into this society yet. So far, I still prefer Hong Kong."

Linda said, "You stayed because of him."

Lu Shaorong smiled and said: "The first time I came here for my own survival, and the second time I stayed because I loved him."

The male investigator asked: "Mr. Zhan, did your fiancée not adapt to the change of social environment from Hong Kong to New York?"

Zhan Yang was stunned, this question seemed a bit too advanced for him, and he replied after a while: "I can't see any difference, he is at home, and most of the time he wears a game iris to communicate with Chinese people .”

The male investigator nodded.

Linda asked again: "How long do you think the motivation to support you to stay in New York because of love can last?"

Lu Shaorong thought for a while, and replied: "I can't tell, but I will work hard, and it is best to last forever. People's hopes are idealized, right? And I believe that I can always love him, and maybe accompany each other for a while Finally, love will transform into family affection. This is actually difficult to define, as long as it does not touch some principled issues."

Linda asked, "What's a question of principle?"

Lu Shaorong thought for a while, and answered: "Cheating, gambling, domestic violence, drug use."

The male investigator said: "Then how do you think we can help him get used to this environment?"

Zhan Yang said: "Habits? He is doing well now, as long as he is happy, I can let him do whatever he wants."

Male investigator: "..."

The male investigator said again: "That is to say, he has no financial ability at present?"

Zhan Yang couldn't help crying and laughing: "He has the financial ability! He even earns more than me. The economic crisis has no impact on his industry at all! He bought the gift for my parents when I went home this year! Tell me! Damn it When will the economic crisis end?!"

The male investigator was speechless, and smiled, "Don't get excited, brother, I can understand your feelings."

Zhan Yang wanted to light a cigarette for the male investigator, but the latter waved his hand and said, "I've quit smoking for a long time...you understand."

Zhan Yang patted him on the shoulder, and replied, "I think I'm almost there too..."

The male investigator asked: "Then if he has no financial means, you will bear the family foundation."

Zhan Yang said: "Of course! I have been taking the initiative. As a husband, I have the obligation to support the family. I think his labor income can be used as his pocket money. I will take care of most of the family responsibilities. This is what I want too. .”

Linda asked, "Are you going to work this summer? So what do you usually do at home?"

Lu Shaorong thought for a while, and replied: "Clean up, cook... play games in your spare time."

Linda nodded, and Lu Shaorong said, "The housework alone is not easy."

Linda said: "Of course, the endless housework every day can drive people crazy."

Lu Shaorong laughed, and said: "Playing games can also subsidize the family, but it is nothing compared to the money earned by Zhan outside."

Linda said: "My son is also playing. There are many Chinese people in his school. Um...Actually, I don't understand a lot of content about the game that he discussed with his father. Maybe I should also find out."

Lu Shaorong said: "I'll show you this game."

He turned sideways on the swivel chair, turned on the light screen, and pressed a few keys to play the game video of the famous scene in Shu Jian.

The male investigator said: "This is unrealistic."

Zhan Yang said: "Why is it unrealistic? It is a husband's responsibility to protect his wife."

The male investigator emphasized: "He has the ability to protect himself."

Zhan Yang said: "It has nothing to do with whether he is capable or not. This is my responsibility, and it is also our Chinese concept. Chinese parents raise their children until they finish college at the age of 22, or even longer. This is relatively rare among Americans. , but in their eyes, it is a matter of course. After the age of 16, during the six years when the child can be independent, parents are willing to continue to raise it, which is an expression of love."

The male investigator nodded, and Zhan Yang said again: "Because I love him, I have to protect him. It has nothing to do with whether he has the ability to protect himself."

The male investigator said: "I can understand that I just finished the investigation of a Middle Eastern family. Arab men are more intense than you when they encounter this problem. However, how can you guarantee that one day in the future, when you don't love him anymore, How is he going to survive in this society?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhan Yang vetoed the investigator's question: "It's impossible, I will love him forever."

Male investigator: "Who can guarantee that they will love another person forever?"

Zhanyang replied arrogantly: "I can, huh?!"

Male investigator: "..."

Zhan Yang said proudly: "Okay, the opening remarks are over? Please stop discussing these meaningless issues, and start investigating quickly? After lunch, I want to play games with my baby. He wants to be promoted to the first grade quickly." Level [-] to be struck by lightning..."

Male investigator: "Mr. Zhan, we are already investigating. What we just asked you is the content of the investigation. The recording has started for 5 minutes."

Zhan Yang was dumbfounded.

Lu Shaorong laughed so hard that he turned off the game video, and said: "Later, he failed in his trial and deleted the game characters. It took me a long time to find out, and I feel that the way he handles emotions is like a child."

Linda suppressed a smile: "I heard that this is a manifestation of psychological imbalance in love. I met my husband when I was studying, and he likes to squat outside the library to peek and see who I am with when I study by myself every day." together..."

Lu Shaorong said: "This kind of complex was once brought into the theater in ancient China, and it was called 'Zhuangzi splitting the coffin'. It is a metaphor that people like to test whether the other half is loyal or not."

Linda nodded in agreement, and said: "In Western culture, people are independent individuals, and they are not allowed to be tempted... But I often regard it as the action of love when it loses its mind, and I think it is understandable."

"Of course, it must be confirmed that its starting point is good. The topic is too far away... um... I was investigating you, why was I led away by you?"

Lu Shaorong laughed loudly and said, "I also think it's understandable."

He poured tea for Linda, and Linda was very funny: "Do you think your parents can accept him?"

Lu Shaorong shrugged and said, "Is this important? I married him, not my parents."

Linda said sternly, "But maybe a marriage that didn't get the blessing of parents and friends is... a pity?"

She tactfully adopted another way of saying it, but Lu Shaorong understood what she meant.

Lu Shaorong said: "So this is my goal. I believe that as long as I work hard, things will be the best. Even if I don't accept it for a while, I can always find a way to resolve it after marriage..."

"What's more, my father... used to wish I could marry him. Whoever opposes my marriage with Zhan is the enemy of my father and my stepmother..."

Linda has been laughing since the beginning of talking with Lu Shaorong. She just felt that chatting with him is very easy. She turned off the recording, and Lu Shaorong said: "How old is your son?"

Linda looked like he was having a headache: "Don't mention it, he's too addicted to playing."

Lu Shaorong said: "I'll give him something."

Linda hurriedly said, "This won't work, our job..."

Lu Shaorong said, "I know, if it's worth no more than five dollars, there's no problem." He took out a set of Zhushanjiao's mechanism model from under the bookshelf, and carried a miniature version of the Xianguang Yunjie Cannon on his shoulder.

"Here is the price. I brought it back from Shanghai." Lu Shaorong turned over the bottom of the box and gave Linda a look. The latter said, "Machine gun, um, thank you! My son must like it very much. You can't buy this in New York. They can't buy it in New York." To protect the local game ... there are many models of World of Warcraft."

Lu Shaorong said: "I'll show you our bedroom."

Linda stood up and said, "Okay."

Lu Shaorong knew that the investigator had a main task, which was to judge from the traces of life whether the husband and wife were in the same bed and had sex, so he took Linda into the bedroom on his own initiative.

Linda held her forehead and said, "This is too bad."

Lu Shaorong went to pull up the quilt, and said: "You guys came too early, I haven't started tidying up yet... Zhan has never had the concept of returning things that are used up..."

Linda felt the same way: "My husband did too, and I was responsible for putting back everything he took out, and with my son, it was a disaster!"

Lu Shaorong continued: "After one afternoon, the same thing will be repeated the next day!"

Linda said angrily: "Yes! Is it difficult to develop the habit of putting things away?!"

Linda walked around the bedroom and went out to look at the balcony. Her mission was basically over.

"Are you planning to have kids?" Linda asked.

Lu Shaorong said: "He will definitely want it, I... am not ready yet."

Linda smiled kindly, "You're still a child yourself."

Lu Shaorong accompanied her out of the living room, and said, "I will try my best...well, to be a good father."

Linda opened the refrigerator and took a look, then said with a smile, "You all like to eat Chinese food."

Lu Shaorong said: "Yes, he likes...that..."

Linda took out the ball of paper from the refrigerator and unfolded it curiously. Lu Shaorong was dumbfounded.

Zhan Yang was eloquent, but suddenly got stuck, and the atmosphere in the living room and dining room was indescribably weird.

"What's wrong?" the male investigator asked.

Linda took a look and asked curiously, "What's written on the note?"

Zhan Yang said: "That's the recipe...the recipe I like to eat."

Linda nodded and said with a smile: "The recipe is still in the refrigerator, it's very interesting."

Lu Shaorong accepted it in embarrassment, read a few words, and joked: "It's not a recipe, I'll read it to you."

"When I was young, I took you to my house on a children's bicycle...you hugged my waist in the back..."

"Every day I go to school, I will buy you glutinous rice chicken... I will eat glutinous rice if you eat chicken wings..."

Linda interrupted, "I see."

Lu Shaorong smiled and said, "Our love romance."

Zhan Yang: "..."

Linda asked again: "Why put it in the refrigerator?"

Lu Shaorong threw the paper ball back, closed the refrigerator door, and replied with a pun: "Because it can keep fresh, that idiot thinks that if it is placed in the refrigerator, it will never expire."

Zhan Yang knew that Linda had finished asking, so he spread out on the sofa, and as if reciting aloud, he took the initiative to talk about his romance with Lu Shaorong.

He said boldly: "We have known each other since we were four years old, and he is my one and only..."

Linda said: "You two have a very romantic life. Very cute peach blossom fish."

Lu Shaorong nodded dumbfoundingly, stepped forward to take away the coffee cup on the coffee table, and then grabbed a paper towel to wipe off the cigarette ash and coffee stains on the table.

Linda exclaimed, interrupted Zhan Yang's recitation, and said, "What's wrong with it?"

Lu Shaorong ran out of the kitchen in a hurry, seeing Linda looking at the fish tank worriedly, Linda asked, "Has it eaten too much?"

In the fish tank, the big peach blossom fish pretends to turn white, with its belly facing up, floating around on the water.

Lu Shaorong explained: "This one is called Yang Yang, it's so boring... I've been liking it a lot lately, and started playing dead after being bullied a few times by the younger one."

The little peach blossom fish swam up, pushed it with its mouth for a long time, and pushed the big peach blossom fish over. The big peach blossom fish wagged its tail and swam away with the little peach blossom fish as if nothing had happened.

Linda: "..."

Lu Shaorong said: "Yangyang feels that his sense of existence is too weak, so he often gets into trouble."

Linda nodded dumbfoundingly, and Zhan Yang said angrily, "Who are you talking about?"

Lu Shaorong smiled and said, "I'm talking about it, not you."

Zhan Yang let out a "huh" and motioned for Lu Shaorong to come over, but Lu Shaorong didn't know what Linda wanted to investigate, so he said, "Want to go to the bathroom...to visit?"

Zhan Yang commanded with dignity: "Baby pig, come to my husband!"

Lu Shaorong had no choice but to sit next to Zhan Yang. Male investigators did not have many tasks. People who have lived in the United States for a long time are usually used to the government's way of doing things. He didn't intend to say anything to Zhan Yang, just listened to him. A nonsense.When Linda finished her questioning, it meant that the investigation was coming to an end.

Zhan Yang said, "Can we get a marriage certificate?"

Linda smiled softly: "Not yet, I will ask the two of you some routine questions."

Zhan Yang frowned, stretched out his arms to embrace Lu Shaorong, and said, "So troublesome?"

Lu Shaorong gracefully said in Chinese: "Wipe, be patient."

Linda suppressed a smile, opened a small book, and said, "These questions need to be answered by the two of you separately. Please don't communicate in Chinese in private, and we won't record it."

Lu Shaorong knew that this was a relaxation of the standard, and replied with a smile: "Okay."

Linda asked, "When is your significant other... birthday?"

Lu Shaorong thought for a while and said, "I remember you were on August 8th? Leo..."

Zhan Yang: "..."

Linda asked again: "Mr. Zhan, do you know when your significant other's birthday is?"

Zhan Yang: "He's a Cancer, I know that."

Lu Shaorong was embarrassed, and said after a while: "I... July [-]th, Cancer."

He remembered last year when Typhoon Signal No. [-] was raging and he was fired. After a while, he said with a smile in Chinese: "I just broke up with my ex-boyfriend on my birthday, and we stayed together for more than a month... The typhoon passed through the border, I was fired, and then I went home to pick you up." Call me to come to New York and marry you. I'm very impressed."

Zhan Yang said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Lu Shaorong smiled, patted Zhan Yang's head, Zhan Yang stretched out his finger, and poked Lu Shaorong with an unhappy face.

Linda asked again, "What food does your significant other like to eat?"

Lu Shaorong said: "He likes to eat ice cream."

Zhan Yang nodded, and replied: "He likes to eat..." - stuck.

Zhan Yang: "..."

Lu Shaorong: "..."

The light bulb on Zhan Yang's head dinged and he finally remembered:

"Egg tarts! Portuguese egg tarts!"

The corner of Lu Shaorong's mouth twitched, Linda asked with a smile, "Really?"

Lu Shaorong said: "Yes, I liked to eat egg tarts when I was a child, and now I still like to eat French fries..."

Zhan Yang became irritable in an instant, wouldn't it be enough to just say "yes"?What do you do with these things? !

Zhan Yang said: "What's so delicious about that thing, junk food! It's full of starch and calories..."

Lu Shaorong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So he won't let him eat."

Zhan Yang said: "This is for your health! This is the expression of my love for you!"

Lu Shaorong expressed his surrender. Zhan Yang was obviously doing hypnosis and self-hypnosis. The male investigator outside did not know how long he had been hypnotized. It was really embarrassing for others.

Linda smiled and closed the notebook: "That's it for today. It seems that there is no need to ask the rest of the questions. Let's go back and sort out the information first."

Zhan Yang got up, and brought Linda to the door with Lu Shaorong. Lu Shaorong said with a smile: "Both of you, you are welcome to come over as guests when you have time, and try my Chinese dishes."

Linda smiled kindly: "Okay, I take it as your invitation. Goodbye, I wish you happiness."

Zhan Yang and Lu Shaorong bid them farewell and closed the door.

Zhan Yang was furious: "What the hell are you talking about?! Others are staff members, you want to invite them to your home for dinner?! After today's investigation, it's over! Waiting to get the marriage certificate! You look forward to being asked by them every day. Lots of questions?"

Lu Shaorong said: "You can also make friends! What are you doing so seriously?"

Zhan Yang said angrily again: "There is also the problem of the egg tart just now, you can paint your whole body blue to be a pig, standing next to Courage just happens to be the mascot of the gang—!"

Lu Shaorong said frantically: "You're never finished! I'm just telling the truth! Don't people believe it later?!"

Zhan Yang roared: "Something always happens at a critical moment! You don't take this issue seriously! What if you don't get married?!"

Lu Shaorong: "That's impossible! Let me tell you, everyone can tell whether you love it or not. You write a bunch of lines in Qiong Yao accent, why start from the age of four or five, look at the stars and the moon, and talk about poems and songs that describe life Ideal, I love you very much, the mountains have no edges, the heavens and the earth are in harmony... It's just bullshit! Trick your big duck!"

Zhan Yang: "It's better to bullshit than screw things up! This is marriage! It's a major event in our lives!"

Lu Shaorong: "Do you understand the prosperity of family and everything?! I doubt that the entire financial tsunami in the United States was caused by your quarrel. Every time you make such a loud voice! Can't you restrain yourself?!"

Zhan Yang was furious, and complained: "It's a fart! It's obviously you Kefu! When you were in Hong Kong, nothing happened, and when you returned to the United States, the financial tsunami..."

"Ding dong", the doorbell rang again, and Zhan Yang opened the door in a rage, seeing Linda holding back her smile and enduring it in great pain.

She pointed with a pen and said, "Two...after ten working days...remember...remember..."

The male investigator had a strange look on his face, as if he didn't understand what Linda was laughing at, and explained: "After ten working days, the registry office will re-seal and get the marriage certificate."

Zhan Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "It must be on time!"

Linda waved goodbye to Lu Shaorong, and left with a smile.

Lu Shaorong said: "You big duck, her husband and son are both Chinese hands-on, they can understand Chinese, and they can also understand square characters..."

Zhan Yang: "..."

Is this passed?Forget it, Zhan Yang checked the Internet again after lunch, and the review status was marked with a "Passed" sign.

He sat in the study, facing the computer, with mixed feelings in his heart. A moment later, he fetched last year's desk calendar, turned a few pages forward, and read it day by day since the day Lu Shaorong arrived in New York.

On the desk calendar, there are occasional memos written down by Lu Shaorong, the time when Zhan Yang goes home, reminding himself to go offline, and some fragmentary memos.

Zhan Yang suddenly felt that the more than 20 years of his life seemed to have just passed by in a flash. Since Lu Shaorong came, his life has truly been enriched.

Every day is filled with memories, and every day is filled with fun.

He still has at least 50 years left in his life. In the 50 years, if he could live like this every day, how good would it be?

After Lu Shaorong washed the dishes, he said, "Why are you in a daze?"

Zhan Yang put the desk calendar back, got up and said: "I didn't stay here, I'm choosing a date to see when the wedding will be held..."

Lu Shaorong asked suspiciously: "You are not in a daze, but you have a fever. Use last year's desk calendar to choose the wedding day?"

Zhan Yang coughed and said, "That... it's all right!"

Lu Shaorong said: "I want a reward."

Zhan Yang completely forgot what he had said earlier, and said, "Marriage is not my business alone. It's as if you didn't get any benefits. What reward do you want?"

Lu Shaorong provocatively said: "That's right, I thought so too, just now who said that if I answer the question well, there will be sweets for me?"

Zhan Yang said: "There is sugar under the coffee table, go and eat it yourself."

Lu Shaorong rolled up his sleeves and said, "No sugar, go online, and practice with me to level [-]. There are still three days left. If you go all out, I'll just use the Jiuyi Cauldron to smash it, and it will kill those diamond guilds!"

Zhan Yang said frantically: "Three days! You need to practice more than 5 million experience points! Do you think I'm a GM?!"
