The Pentium Era - South to North
Chapter 1671 Xiaofang
Xiaofang drove Zhang Xiangbei to New Haven, drove directly to Yale University, first went to the student office to register, and then went to Zhang Xiangbei's rented house.
Fortunately, Xiaofang called her original landlord in New Haven from New York more than a month in advance. The landlord told her that the two tenants in the house where she lived had graduated this year and were now available, so Xiaofang took the house. The house was rented so that when they arrived in New Haven, they would be unhurried and feel like they were back at home, without even meeting the landlord or having to meet him.
The Yale School of Economics, where Zhang Xiangbei studied, is one of the twelve residential colleges at Yale University. It has student dormitories, but Xiaofang believes that it is more convenient to rent them outside the school.
The house they rented is very close to Yale University. It is on the third floor of a five-story building on Humphrey Street. It takes less than ten minutes to walk to Phelps Gate, the main entrance to Yale.
The two of them went upstairs. Xiaofang was familiar with the way and walked to the door of the room. From under the doormat, she got the key that the landlord put there, opened the door, went in, and put down the things she brought.
The house was a suite with two bedrooms and one living room. Xiaofang and Zhang Xiangbei said, "Beibei, take a notebook and write it down to see what else you need. Let's go to Wal-Mart."
Zhang Xiangbei opened the refrigerator and took a look. It was empty. He sat down at the dining table, took out a notebook from his bag and started writing. While he was writing, Xiaofang was checking every room. She was here. Having lived in this house for two years, I know very well what is missing in it.
Xiaofang walked out of the room and saw Zhang Xiangbei standing in the living room waiting for her. Xiaofang asked:
"Has it been written?"
Zhang Xiangbei agreed.
"show me."
Xiaofang said that Zhang Xiangbei handed her the notebook. Xiaofang looked at it and burst into laughter: "You just wrote down a refrigerator of food?"
Zhang Xiangbei scratched his head and said, "Yes, as long as there is food in the refrigerator, nothing else can be dealt with."
Xiaofang smiled and said: "You have to live here for four years, are you prepared to deal with it for four years?"
Zhang Xiangbei shook his head and smiled.
Xiaofang sat down and wrote in the notebook. After a while, two pages were filled. Then she stood up and said, "Let's go shopping."
They went to Wal-Mart, filled the trunk and back seat, and when they got in the car, it was already dinner time.
Xiaofang did not drive the car directly home, but went to the "Miya Sushi" on Hauf Street, a few roads away from their home. Xiaofang and Zhang Xiangbei said that this place was rated as the best in the United States by a food magazine. Delicious sushi.
The sushi restaurant was very small. When they walked in, the owner was an Asian. He came over immediately and greeted Xiaofang in Chinese:
"Xiaofang, you haven't been here for a long time. How are you in New York?"
Xiaofang said yes, but I am going back to China soon.
"China is great. Now everyone is running to China." said the shop owner.
Xiaofang introduced them to each other. She told the store owner: "This is my nephew, a freshman in the School of Economics. Please take good care of him in the future."
The shop owner smiled and said: "Of course, they are all Chinese."
Xiaofang and Zhang Xiangbei said that the boss also graduated from Yale.
The boss said to Zhang Xiangbei: "Your aunt and I graduated in the same year, but she is a graduate student and I am an undergraduate."
After finding a seat and sitting down, Xiaofang and Zhang Xiangbei said that in fact, the boss can only be considered half Chinese. This store was first opened by his mother. His mother is Japanese and his father is Chinese. In recent years, Yale University in China As the number of students increased, the boss liked to call himself Chinese when he saw Chinese students.
Xiaofang ordered scallop jacket and column sushi, as well as salmon roe sushi. Xiaofang and Zhang Xiangbei said that the scallops they had here were all flown in from Hokkaido and were particularly delicious.
Zhang Xiangbei tasted each one. It was fishy and not very delicious, but he was embarrassed to say it. When their signature dish, scallop tempura, came, Zhang Xiangbei became more and more confused as he ate. explain:
“Isn’t this just scallop meat?”
Xiaofang laughed and said, "If you have knowledge, it's just a scallop."
Zhang Xiangbei muttered: "There are so many flowers. Scallops, scallops, scallops, scallops, and scallops are not all the same thing."
Xiaofang said yes. When we arrived in Hawaii, they were still called Hawaiian clams. Many things would have different values if they were renamed. In the financial field, this kind of trick is played more often. You will know after reading the book for a year.
Xiaofang stayed in New Haven for two days and took Zhang Xiangbei around almost all of the small town. Before leaving, Xiaofang asked Zhang Xiangbei, "Is it okay? Can you adapt?"
Zhang Xiangbei nodded and said yes.
This time, they came in Zhang Xiangbei's car. Xiaofang's own car was parked in the garage of her home in New York. Zhang Xiangbei would also use the car here, so they drove his car over.
From New Haven to New York, you can take a train or a bus. Xiaofang still likes to go to Union Station and take the bus to 42nd Street in New York.
Xiaofang and Zhang Xiangbei said, while you are here, you can study with peace of mind and don't run around. After I return to New York, I will return to China after finishing the matters in the company. However, I will still come to the United States and New York frequently. Wen.
Zhang Xiangbei kept nodding.
This time it was really time to say goodbye. When they walked to the door, Xiaofang and Zhang Xiangbei said, "Beibei, come here, give me a hug. Let's say goodbye here. You don't have to see me off."
Xiaofang was worried that when they arrived at the station, the two of them would cry again.
Zhang Xiangbei didn't answer. Xiaofang hugged him and told him, "If you have anything at school, just call me. I can go directly to the principal and your dean."
Zhang Xiangbei said yes.
"Also, don't get into trouble with people. New Haven is one of the areas with a high incidence of shooting cases in the United States. People are outside and it's okay to suffer some losses. Don't show off, okay?"
Zhang Xiangbei said yes.
If she kept talking, Xiaofang felt that she was about to cry. She quickly said, "Auntie is gone, please don't send Beibei away." She turned around and opened the door and went out. When she reached the street below, she took a deep breath and looked up again upstairs. Then she walked forward, planning to walk to the gate of Yale University and take bus No. 212 to Union Station.
When the bus started to move, Xiaofang looked outside and felt a shiver in her heart. She saw Zhang Xiangbei following him secretly, hiding in a doorway and looking towards the bus. Xiaofang quickly turned her attention to the bus. Here, she was afraid of meeting Zhang Xiangbei's eyes.
The car drove to the corner and turned around. Xiaofang leaned her head against the car window glass and couldn't help but shed tears. Xiaofang said to Xiao Zhao in her heart:
"Sister, I sent Beibei to Yale."
…
Zhang Chen received a call from Xiaofang and told him that arrangements had been made for Zhang Xiangbei at Yale and that she might return to China earlier than originally planned in September.
Zhang Chen said yes, give me a call when you arrive and I will come to Shanghai to pick you up.
Xiaofang nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll tell my parents when I return to Hangzhou. I'm worried..."
"Are you worried that they will come to Shanghai to pick you up?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"I'm worried that even Xiaoshu will no longer be safe, and they will urge them to come to Shanghai." Xiaofang said, "I might as well not even tell Xiaoshu."
Zhang Chen said yes, "It would be nice to give them a surprise."
On the day Xiaofang came back, Zhang Chen went to Shanghai Pudong Airport to pick her up. After picking her up, Zhang Chen asked: "Go and see your house first, and then return to Hangzhou?"
Xiaofang originally wanted to say no, just go back to Hangzhou, but thinking that this house was Zhang Chen and Xiaoshu's wish, she couldn't spoil their interest, so Xiaofang said okay, let's go take a look.
They arrived at "Century Fairview" and opened the door. Xiaofang couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound. She looked around. She couldn't explain why, but there was always a feeling of déjà vu. The decoration of the house, the furniture and furnishings inside seemed to be familiar. There was a kind of concentration that made her sit on the plane for more than ten hours, and her dizzy head suddenly sobered up.
At the same time, my mind seemed to be beginning to settle down, and I felt like I was "at home."
"Do you like it?" Zhang Chen asked.
Xiaofang nodded "hmm" and finally said: "Thank you, brother-in-law... Oh, and thank you Xiaoshu."
Zhang Chen handed the bunch of door keys to Xiaofang, as well as the three access cards, and asked her to keep them.
Xiaofang took off a key and handed it back to Zhang Chen together with an access card, and said to him: "Brother-in-law, when you come to Shanghai, you can come back directly by yourself."
Zhang Chen quickly said: "No, no, I can just stay in the hotel."
"Why, isn't this your home too?" Xiaofang looked at him and asked, "Or is there no room for you to live in here? There is a home here, and you still want to stay in a hotel?"
Zhang Chen was left speechless by Xiaofang's question. He couldn't say what he wanted to say. Talking too much made him look stingy. He could only accept the key and access card.
Xiaofang went upstairs and downstairs, looking from room to room. Zhang Chen sat down on the sofa, took out his cell phone and called Xiaomi.
When Xiaofang came down from upstairs, Zhang Chen said to Xiaofang:
"Give Xiaomi a copy of your ID card, passport and U.S. driver's license later. She will help you make an appointment for the physical examination and test. The test will be subject one, which is the theory test. After the test, you can get your domestic driver's license. .”
Xiaofang said yes.
"Also, Shanghai now requires a lottery to buy a car. However, Xiaomi has already bought a license plate for you. When you come back from Hangzhou, you can just buy a car directly." Zhang Chen said to Xiaofang, and Xiaofang nodded.
The two went downstairs. Zhang Chen drove to Jin Mao Tower. Xiaomi was waiting for them at the gate. Xiaofang gave Xiaomi a copy of her ID card, passport and American driver's license. Xiaomi asked, do you have any photos? I will ask someone to prepare the physical examination form directly. Then you will not need to have a physical examination, you can just take the test directly.
Xiaofang found the photo and gave it to Xiaomi. Xiaomi handed Xiaofang a "Motor Vehicle Driver Subject 1 Theory Study Material" and told her that the passing score was 90 points. If she was not sure by then, I would Just let someone take the test for you.
Xiaofang was surprised and asked: "Is this okay?"
"Okay, okay, just say ouch." After saying that, Xiaomi laughed: "I forgot, it doesn't matter if you take the exam."
Xiaofang quickly said thank you, thank you.
They wanted to go on their way, so they didn't go upstairs and just turned around and left.
Xiaofang sat in the passenger seat and burst into laughter.
Zhang Chen turned to look at her and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"It's better to be in China. You can take shortcuts and open back doors to everything. I'm not used to it at all." Xiaofang said with a smile.
Zhang Chen said: "You don't know that there is a saying that holds the front door tightly, and encourages everyone to use the back door."
Xiaofang nodded and said: "Yeah, I learned it. It seems that I want to follow the locals as soon as possible. By the way, brother-in-law, this Xiaomi seems to have a lot of energy."
"It's not that she has great energy, it's the husbands of our members who do everything. This network of connections is very powerful." Zhang Chen said, "By the way, when you need to apply for a license and so on, let Xiaomi help you. .”
Xiaofang said yes.
When we were almost driving to Songjiang, Xiaofang said, "Brother-in-law, I want to go to the logistics base to visit."
"Aren't you tired?" Zhang Chen asked.
Xiaofang shook her head and said she was not tired.
Zhang Chen agreed, "Then we will go to the logistics base for lunch. I originally wanted to rush to the Xiashaxia Expressway and go to Tuxiangyuan."
