Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Hot pot is warm and harmonious

Not long after, Bai Guo's boyfriend Jiang Gu graduated from PHD. Originally, he wanted to go to Harvard or Duke University to do Postdoctoral, because the conditions provided for him there were better, and the initial annual salary was 38,000.But Bai Guo insisted that he come to LA.Bai Guo said to him on the phone: "Jiang Gu, this is a chance, and it may be the last chance! Think about it, I'm almost thirty years old. I don't need to wait for your hollow voice on the phone all day Money should be nothing to us now. You really want to have your own carrier, but it’s not the same wherever you develop? I want you to seriously consider my words!"

Jiang Gu called back the next day, saying that he had made up his mind and that he was willing to come to the West.Among the resumes he sent at the time, one was also sent to C University.He quickly sent an E-mail to C University, and the other party accepted him.However, the annual salary is 8,000 less. Bai Guo breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly felt a little empty in her heart.She thought, if her boyfriend really came over one day, would her life be enriched?She looked at the empty room, imagining the scene of a man walking up and down there, and suddenly became upset.She asked herself: Why should a person marry?Especially a woman? !Does a woman really need a man that much?It seems that what He Ru said at the Casino that night was not unreasonable!

It was the weekend that day, so Bai Guo picked up the phone and called He Ru's office.Why not, Bai Guo bit the pen in her mouth, her desire to find someone to chat with became stronger and stronger, she suddenly remembered the man who helped her outside the Casino last time, but at that time she forgot to ask him Phone number and address too. She thought, living in this kind of metropolis is like being in a desert, empty and empty, without even a single sincere friend. She suddenly had a whim: If her boyfriend could come and go as soon as he is called in the future, how great would that be? !But the idea certainly feels like a fairy tale.Because everyone should have their own position and responsibility. Isn't it because of a sense of responsibility that her boyfriend is willing to come to the West for her?It seems that her temper will be restrained in the future.

So she went online.She often spends long hours chatting online while at work.She browsed a few websites, all of which were boring topics.It turns out that the Internet is also a desert.When she was about to get off work, she received a call, and she knew who it was when she heard it.She said happily: "He Ru, where are you now? I just called you. Do you want to come out tonight?" He Ru on the other end of the phone said with a smile: "I want to! But tonight I want to go to Chinatown to eat the Little Sheep Hot Pot in Inner Mongolia. It just opened. Do you want to go? I'll treat you."

Bai Guo said: "It's cold today, so it's time to enjoy hot pot. I will definitely go! I don't know which restaurant to go to?" He Ru said: "It's right here on Valley Avenue. When you arrive, call my cell phone. I also invited another person, I don't know if you mind?" Bai Guo laughed and said, "As long as she doesn't have a big appetite, I don't mind." He Ru said with a smile: "It's also the first time I invite him to dinner, and I don't know if he has a big appetite. But it's okay, anyway, the hot pot base is for three people, as for the dishes, order whatever you want."

Bai Guo laughed and said, "I won't be impolite then." When Bai Guo arrived at the restaurant, he saw He Ru and a man sitting there waiting.Bai Guo originally thought that He Ru was inviting a woman, but unexpectedly it was a tall man.After she sat down, she suddenly recognized the man as the one who had charged her car in the Casino parking lot earlier. Bai Guo glanced at He Ru, feeling a little puzzled: How did He Ru get in touch with this man? At this time, Liu Dongqi stood up and introduced himself to Bai Guo.He Ru smiled and said to Bai Guo: "Mr. Liu just came from the east. He is a lawyer. His office is near our company. His car was hit by Lao Mo last weekend. Today I am Surprised him, and by the way, thank him for saving us last time."

Liu Dongqi laughed and said, "It seems that we met because of the car!" The hot pot was served, and the three chatted while eating. Bai Guo is a careful person, she secretly observes the expressions of He Ru and Liu Dongqi, but she can't see any special relationship between them, so she is inexplicably relieved secretly.Bai Guo asked Liu Dongqi, "Which eastern city was Mr. Liu in?" Liu Dongqi said: "In Washington DC." Bai Guo laughed and said, "What a coincidence, my boyfriend also goes to school in Washington." Liu Dongqi said, "Which school does he belong to?"

Ginkgo said it was J big.Liu Dongqi laughed and said, "I'm from J University too!" Bai Guo said: "He will come over in a few days and go to C University to do Postdoctoral." Liu Dongqi laughed and said, "Since we are all alumni, when he comes, I will be the host." After hearing this, He Ru originally wanted to tell them that Wu Xiaotian was also doing postdoctoral work at C University, but after thinking about it for a while, he thought it would be better to do less, so he swallowed the words back. Liu Dongqi said: "I didn't expect things to go wrong after arriving in the west. My car drove more than 2,000 miles from the east, and nothing happened all the way. But not long after arriving here, I was hit by Lao Mo. The front guard The cover was also arched, and a hole was knocked out in the middle of the fender, just like Zhu Bajie. My car was a second-hand 'Nissan' car bought in 1995, which cost more than 5,000 yuan. Japanese cars don't like collisions, and they don't have air bags, so they can't collide with American cars. American cars have excellent hardware. The car that hit me was an "Old Bie" that had been driven for nearly 20 years. Lao Mo liked to drive this car. It’s an old car, the side bars are only dented a little bit, and my car even knocked out the plastic foam inside the fender, and it’s like a kid’s toy car on the road.”

He Ru laughed and said, "It's a shame that you are still a lawyer! Why don't you settle with that old Mo?" Liu Dongqi sighed and said: "Most of Lao Mo's cars are not insured, and they hit them. You have to sue them, but they don't want to pay for compensation. They would rather go to jail and waste it for you. My old car is in the I only got single insurance in the Eastern Conference, so I thought about it and let it go. It’s better to have less than one more thing!” Bai Guo said: "Fortunately, no major accidents happened. One of my colleagues was hit by a big truck last year and lost his mind. He didn't recover until recently. But he can no longer work on computers."

Liu Dongqi said: "But I still have some regrets in my heart, mainly because of nostalgia. I drove the car for two years, and when I decided to come here to work, I was reluctant to sell it to others, so I gritted my teeth and drove over from the east. The day before yesterday I wanted to have the car repaired, but the dealer said that it would cost at least 3500 yuan to repair the car. So I sold the car as scrap parts and sold it to the dealership for 100 yuan to pay for the towing. " He Ru heard Liu Dongqi say that he was nostalgic for the past, so he glanced at him unconsciously.She thought to herself that people who love the past are generally very humane.So I couldn't help but think of Wu Xiaotian again, is he also that kind of person? !

Bai Guo asked Liu Dongqi, "Then what do you do when you go to work now? Do you want us to help?" Liu Dongqi laughed and said, "I will have your help in the future. I rented a car for a few days and will return it tomorrow. Tomorrow I want to see a new car. In the United States, wives and husbands are allowed to leave, but the car is absolutely unacceptable." of!" Bai Guo thought of her boyfriend Jiang Gu, and smiled knowingly.
