Chapter 83 The New Year (the first deacon
"Mom, happy New Year! I can't go back this year, so I can only call you to greet you!" Before I finished speaking, my mother's cry came from the other end of the phone. Lu Qiujian quickly comforted me, "Don't cry! It's almost March now, and I can go back in four months!... It's great. I plan to go to greet a few Chinese professors in the past two days... Then make dumplings with some international students and watch the Spring Festival Gala... Don't always think about saving money. My part-time job income is quite high, so don't worry about spending it! I'm just over twenty, you said this is too early, right? My friend asked me to go out, I'll hang up first! I wish you and your father good health and a happy New Year..."
After finally dealing with the family, Lu Qiujian breathed a sigh of relief. Now, although he couldn't return to China, he could still call them, but what about his real parents? When will he see them again?
Lu Qiujian, who was in a depressed mood, came to the living room, opened the refrigerator and found the beer stored by Patrice, opened a can and brought it to the balcony, drinking and looking at the distant starry sky. When can I really go home by myself!
Dingling, just when the homesickness was in full swing, the phone rang, and Lu Qiujian answered it without looking at it, "Hello?"
"What are you doing now?" A sweet female voice came from the opposite side. This warm voice made Lu Qiujian feel a little better.
"Yangyang! Happy New Year!" Lu Qiujian pinched the empty beer can into a ball and threw it back. The beer can fell into the garbage can without any bias, with a beautiful shot.
"Brother Lu, you have a happy New Year, do you have any red envelopes?" Yang Yang laughed playfully.
"Oh, no matter how you say it, you can't let me call you for nothing! I will definitely give you a big red envelope!", why did she call now? Is she also missed home?
While guessing, Yang Yang said, "Don't be fooled! Then I'll go to Princeton to find you! You promised to show your cooking skills to me before! Can you cook in your dormitory?"
"Isn't I going to have a big party like Christmas?" Since it's the Chinese New Year, I must drink. The homesickness and loneliness after leaving home, coupled with alcohol, can easily lead to the downfall incident! But now he has Stella to solve his needs, and Natalie can soothe each other's hearts, and I don't want to go further with her for the time being.
"Hey, it's not interesting to make a fuss with them. I just want to find a place to stay quiet and stay up to the New Year." I didn't want to meet Natalie again at the big party. Maybe I felt that my words were a bit ambiguous. Yang Yang quickly added, "Don't you mind if I go with my roommate, do you? You are also a big beauty!", pronounced with accent.
I guess there wouldn't be any accident if I brought my best friend here? First, it was about the paper, then the competition and the stock market was riots. I was really too busy during this period, and it seemed good to relax. Lu Qiujian happily agreed.
After hanging up the phone and going out to buy some gifts, Lu Qiujian knocked on Professor Nan's door with something. Among the Chinese teachers in Princeton, he was the one he was most familiar with.
"Happy New Year Professor Nan, I wish you a happy New Year!" As soon as the door opened, Lu Qiujian bowed with his hands and fists.
"Oh...oh, you're having a happy Chinese New Year too!" Professor Nan was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he quickly touched his body in a hurry, and finally took out Zhang 20 Miyuan and stuffed it over.
After a while, Lu Qiujian took it away with a smile. After entering the room, he looked at it. Professor Nan was alone in the room, and there was no trace of the New Year atmosphere.
"Are you going to another place to celebrate the New Year? I didn't delay your itinerary, right?" asked Lu Qiujian.
"No, I'm just alone, I'll just be fine!" Professor Nan said with a smile, "What about you, how are you planning to get by? Go and have a party with those international students?"
"Two friends are coming from New York and saying they are making dumplings from me!" Lu Qiu Jian was scheming, "Professor Nan, please go together if you don't dislike my craftsmanship trend? We have never cooked much and are in need of guidance from experts like you!"
"Hahahaha!" Professor Nan waved his hands repeatedly, "You have found the wrong person! My kitchenware at home may not move for a while for half a month. Besides, I will not get involved in your young people's activities!"
Seeing that his attitude of rejection was not very firm, Lu Qiujian continued to joke and persuade, "That's better than us! You can't bear to send two more red envelopes, right?"
"You guy!" Professor Nan pointed at Lu Qiujian and cursed. He just refused because he was afraid that Lu Qiujian was polite. Now he saw that he was sincerely invited, so he was a little moved. "Your dormitory is so small, so you can do it. Moreover, the pots and pans are all Western-style and are not suitable for use. So come to my place! Although I don't cook much, the guys are all complete, and the seasonings and other authentic products bought from Chinatown. We just need to go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables!"
On the way out of Professor Nan’s house and to the supermarket to buy things, Lu Qiujian told Yangyang about this, but Yangyang did not show any unhappiness.
It was 7:00 p.m. Beijing time, and it was six:00 a.m. US time. When the Spring Festival Gala was about to begin, Yangyang and her classmates came to Princeton's door. Lu Qiujian, who had been waiting here, quickly met him.
"Brother Lu, this is my roommate Xu Si; Xu Si, this is what I am talking about Lu Qiujian!" Yang Yang pulled the tall beauty beside her in front of her.
"Happy New Year, Brother Lu, I've caused you trouble!" Xu Si reached out to her hand openly.
"No trouble, but you have worked hard to leave early in the morning!" Lu Qiujian took out two red envelopes from his arms and handed them over, "Happy New Year, two!"
"Thank you Brother Lu!" The two little girls cheered and picked it up. Under Lu Qiujian's leadership, they came to Professor Nan's house. Naturally, two more red envelopes were handed over.
"Thank you, Uncle Nan!" The two little girls are close to Lu Qiu Jianhui. After receiving the red envelope, they immediately gave the gifts they prepared. Although they were not very expensive, they also made Professor Nan particularly happy.
A group of people turned on the TV in the living room, watching the Spring Festival Gala chatting while wrapping dumplings, which was also very happy. Lu Qiujian's skill in making dumplings was not as bad as he said. The dumplings were thin skin and big belly, which looked as popular as Yuanbao, so the three of them handed over all the work of making dumplings to him.
After cooking, the two girls who had eaten Western food for a long time were extremely excited. They ate so fast that they even ate a few more. After eating dumplings, this year passed like this, what will happen in the new year?
