A few people found a small restaurant together. In fact, besides hamburgers and hot dogs, there are also other things to eat in the United States. For example, salad cheese with various vegetables and fruits.
If you don’t eat it often, it feels good to eat it for the first time, especially now that it’s summer. There are many more varieties of cold drinks and desserts here than in China.
Several people ordered a lot of things and Wu Xue rushed to pay, which made He Qiuju and Xue Wei look at Yang Dongxu strangely.
Naturally, he didn't care at all about such looks, and he took more bites than the others and ate them sweetly, which made several people look at Yang Dongxu with even more disdain.
I originally thought he was a rich man from the mainland. After all, going abroad at this time is not something ordinary people can do. Who would have thought that a poor man would come here and eat like a country bumpkin who had been fed for eight lifetimes? The plane ticket when he came here was probably paid for by his family.
What made Xue Wei even more crazy was that when facing this poor relative who had no idea of his relationship, Wu Xue served him like a little girl, rushing to pay the bill, serving tea and water during meals, and even had a smear on the corner of his mouth. The cream helps each other wipe it.
"Is the flight ticket expensive when you come here?" After Wu Xue asked Yang Dongxu if he had eaten enough, he asked for a burger again. Wu Xue helped to get it. Xue Wei couldn't help it anymore, with a condescending sense of superiority. Asked.
"It's quite expensive, but the flight time is so long. It should be more expensive." Yang Dongxu lowered his head and took a sip of Coke and said.
He Qiuju and the others were even more speechless. It turned out that the brain circuits of those who came from the countryside were different from others. They actually felt that the flight took a long time and the air tickets were expensive. The money spent was worth it. You shouldn't think that the flight was too long. Are you uncomfortable?
"Have you never eaten these things in China?" Xue Wei continued to ask disdainfully.
"Well, I haven't eaten it before." Yang Dongxu nodded. Although many foreign companies have entered the country now, compared with later generations, KFC, McDonald's and the like are naturally not so ubiquitous. This was really the first time he had eaten a hamburger after his rebirth.
"Would you like to pack two of them and take them home?" He Qiuju didn't know what to say for a while.
I originally thought that Yang Dongxu was quite tall and handsome, with a good temperament, and his family background in China was pretty good. After all, he bought a plane ticket to come to the United States to see Wu Xue. Who would have thought that he was just a country bumpkin.
"The chicken legs taste good. Let Wu Xue pack two of them back later. I just saw that there is a kitchen where he lives. If you are hungry at night, you can heat them up for a late-night snack." Yang Dongxu seemed to think this idea was a good idea and nodded.
The disdain on the faces of several people was even worse. They had seen such shamelessness. I have never seen such a shameless person, even if I don’t pay for food, I still have to take a bag back for a midnight snack.
But these people never thought that they were not paid for food, and compared to their simple relationship as classmates, Yang Dongxu seemed to have a closer relationship with Wu Xue.
"How many days can you stay here? I'll accompany you everywhere." Wu Xue helped Yang Dongxu get a hamburger while holding a bag in his hand: "Seeing that you like chicken legs, I packed two for you. Let’s eat at home tonight.”
This made Xue Wei and others even more jealous. They had never seen Wu Xue be so considerate. Although Wu Xue is usually kind, he is also very stubborn. Otherwise, while everyone is enjoying domestic subsidies, she uses her spare time to work and rent her own house. What's more important is that they have never seen Wu Xue treat that man so well.
You must know that gentle ladies and gentlemen are very charming. There are many more boys than girls who come to study abroad. Wu Xue, who has become more and more generous in the past two years, is pursued by many people, including some Chinese-American students, but she rejects them no matter who they are. Today, they were too kind to a country bumpkin, which they couldn't accept in their hearts.
"Two or three days, I still have things to do at home, and the things coming out this time are quite long. Don't you have any work these two days?" Yang Dongxu took the burger and took a bite.
"The part-time job I do is in the morning and evening. I don't have much to do during the day." Wu Xue said.
He has two part-time jobs, one as a morning waiter at a breakfast bar. One is selling milk tea at a milk tea shop at night, both near the school.
Originally, he found a longer job during the summer vacation, working as a cashier in a supermarket. But because the boss found a long-term and stable employee last week, he settled her salary and resigned.
"Isn't it unsafe to work at night?" Although there is nothing wrong with a milk tea shop, the security of the United States is not that safe if it is too late, even if this is a school area.
"It's okay. The milk tea shop is right next to where I live. The shop is opened by my landlord. We went back together after closing time." Wu Xue said with a smile.
Yang Dongxu nodded, and it was basically no problem. He also understood Wu Xue's persistence. So he didn't feel anything bad about Wu Xue working part-time. As long as you don't delay your studies and can support yourself and exercise your abilities earlier, it will be easier than just knowing how to study.
"It's getting late now, don't you want to go to work today?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"No, I just told the landlord's daughter to ask for leave for me when I went out."
Yang Dongxu nodded without saying anything, and several people finished eating and walked out of the shop. Card proposed to go to the bar for a drink. Xue Wei and others agreed, but Wu Xue refused with a smile.
Although many bars here in the United States are quite formal, unlike in China, they are just places where all kinds of filth and evil are hidden. But the nightclubs here in the United States are also more open, so Wu Xue never goes to nightclubs, not even bars.
To be precise, her life is very monotonous, even a bit boring in the eyes of many people. In addition to studying and working part-time, he doesn't have much time for entertainment. This seems incredible to American students. Gradually, many international students who are trying to integrate into American life also find it incredible to him.
If you don't go to bars or nightclubs, American nightlife is actually pretty boring. So after separating from a few people, they continued to listen to Wu Xue talking about her life studying abroad and returned to where she lived.
Yang Dongxu originally wanted to stay in a hotel. After all, no matter how good the relationship between two people is, there are still differences between men and women. They are adults and need to pay attention. Wu Xue did not agree and said that she would sleep with the landlord's daughter at night and let Yang Dongxu sleep in her room. There was no need to waste money by staying in a hotel.
She knew that Yang Dongxu was rich, but with his character of not wasting money, he had no reason to refuse. So without any further refusal, Wu Xue bought some small desserts and took them back on their way back.
This was not reserved for late night snacks, but was given to the landlord and her daughter. Yang Dongxu has to apologize for staying at home for a few days. Of course, if the landlord's family could get used to Chinese food, Wu Xue wouldn't mind taking two large boxes of food to share with them.
"You will graduate next year. Are you going to continue your studies or find a job after graduation?" Yang Dongxu asked when he saw Wu Xue returning from delivering gifts to the landlord's daughter's room while sitting on Wu Xue's bed and reading a few books out of boredom.
"I don't want to go to school anymore." Wu Xue sat on the floor and pulled out another pack of snacks from the box. She couldn't get enough of the taste of her hometown, even though her stomach was a little full.
"What's wrong?" Yang Dongxu didn't expect Wu Xue to give such a definite answer.
"The more I learn, the more ignorant I feel. It's true what our ancestors said about endless learning, so I want to work directly after graduation. If there is anything I want to learn, I can continue learning if I have free time after working." If the family is able to afford it, Better yet, she might choose to pursue further education.
But she has been in college for four years, and although her family does not have much money to contribute due to state subsidies, and she can even send some money home by working part-time, she still feels that it is better to find a job after graduation. It would be better for the country to repay her blood for supporting her for four years as soon as possible.
"Have you decided what to do?" Although Wu Xue's answer was unexpected, it was also reasonable. After all, she is the kind of girl who would rather be tired than cause trouble to others.
"I don't know. It depends on the state's arrangements. The most likely possibility is to become a teacher in a university." She obviously has an idea of her future job.
This year, although the country has abolished the system of allocating college students, some college students still continue to receive allotment. What's more, it's an international student like Wu Xue who has both good character and academic performance.
The state's support for overseas students to study abroad is basically divided into two parts, one is mainly to learn various advanced technologies, and the other is mainly to learn various advanced knowledge. The former is basically destined to enter a research laboratory, while the latter is expected to join a state-owned enterprise or teach in a university.
"Is there a university you want to go to? If so, I have a good relationship with the Education Bureau and can help you talk about it."
"No need." Wu Xue shook her head, then thought of something and smiled and said: "If you continue to study, help me run the business and go to Hangcheng University. I will be your teacher then."
"What, you just graduated from college and you are like a graduate teacher? Your qualifications are not enough." Yang Dongxu said with a smile when he saw Wu Xue's cute look.
"It's not okay to look down on people." Wu Xue wrinkled her nose and snorted: "I will definitely be able to do it in the shortest time based on my professional title. If I want to lead graduate students, I will only choose the ones that I like. Be careful if you want me to lead you, I will I won’t take you with me.”
"Yes, yes, teacher Wu Xue is so awesome. He basically gets full marks in all subjects." Yang Dongxu raised his hands in surrender, as if he admired him very much.
Although many people in later generations have commented that many Chinese international students have high scores and low abilities, you do not admit that the Chinese people have strong learning ability. And although Wu Xue has no actual teaching experience, he is definitely not related to the 'imbecile'.
After returning home, I relied on my academic qualifications from studying abroad and obtained a degree certificate. As long as she has been practicing for a period of time and with her ability, it is really not a big problem to get the title of associate professor.
"It's good to know. Even if I don't take you, I will still be your teacher. If you dare not listen to me, I will make you stand on the playground." Wu Xue stuck her waist and put on the air of a teacher.
Then he seemed to think of the scene where Yang Dongxu felt aggrieved but did not dare to resist and had to stand in the playground and started to giggle.
The two chatted until about eleven o'clock before Wu Xue went to sleep at the landlord's daughter's place. Yang Dongxu went to the bathroom to wash up briefly. As soon as he lay down and prepared to go to bed, he heard a clang outside, as if someone had kicked the door open.
