"By the way, Xiao Jin, have you finished your travel plan for summer vacation? My cousin and Jianguo will be on vacation in a few days, right?"
"It's done. This time we'll go through the central part. We won't go through the places that Manman and Mingge went to last year."
"good."
This summer vacation is the last one that my cousin stays in the United States, and the first one that Xu Jianguo comes to visit. Naturally, he wants to travel around and broaden his horizons.
Moreover, this year Caleb Jin has arranged his work in advance and will go with them. Xu Jianguo also got his driver's license in advance at Xu Manman's urging, so that he can have someone to take care of him along the way, and it will be more lively with more people.
Xu Manman's exams were to be taken later this year, and there were many subjects. When Chen Ming and Xu Jianguo came over during the holiday, she had not finished her exams yet.
The house had been tidied up long ago. Caleb Jin, the "owner of the house", had already "given up" the master bedroom, and now of course he would not be asked to give up the second bedroom. So the extra Xu Jianguo would sleep on the sofa in the living room.
The sofa was big enough and much more comfortable for him than the bed in the dormitory, so he didn't mind it at all.
Before the official holiday, Xu Manman returned to the dormitory to attend Kara and Chaya's graduation party. Kara graduated with a bachelor's degree in human resources, and Chaya graduated with a master's degree in marketing. Caroline, who was supposed to graduate at the same time, was going to continue to pursue a master's degree.
That day, Xu Manman saw Caroline and secretly asked, "Do all the dresses for the graduation dance need to be custom-made?"
Although Caroline is going to continue her graduate studies, she also wants to attend her undergraduate graduation prom.
"Why not? Just go to the store and buy it. Some niche brands have good designs. Otherwise, go to a second-hand store and have a look."
This kind of clothes is basically only worn once, so there is no need to spend too much money on custom-made ones... Not everyone is a rich man,
Molly, you are studying for a doctorate now, haven't you graduated yet?"
"No, I'm just a little curious. We rarely have the opportunity to wear gifts in the country."
"Yeah, we're not from the United States. We can't wear formal attire all day long like we're in a play." After getting to know each other better, Caroline wasn't as aloof as she was at the beginning, and sometimes she even made jokes.
After this incident, Xu Manman stopped paying attention to the ball and the dress. After all, no one came to her again. (In fact, no one found her.)
After Xu Manman officially took vacation, the four of them set off directly from New York in two cars and began their beautiful 50-day inland trip.
The climate along the way is typical temperate continental. Except for Xu Manman who can never get tanned, and Caleb Jin who always has fair skin, the remaining pair of cousins, although their skin color is still very different from that of Africans, are already very close to Indians.
Anyway, it was later than expected. After only two days in New York, the cousins went back to school.
Another semester ended. Before Christmas, Chen Ming had already obtained his official degree and was about to return to China. After some discussion, he decided to return to New York first.
As early as after New Year's Day in 1980, the first air route between China and the United States was opened. It was most convenient to depart from New York, and Xu Manman had a lot of things that she wanted her cousin to help her bring back.
Chen Ming looked at the carpet, which was already filled with a suitcase with more than half of the stuff still left, and his head started to ache.
"Manman, you don't want me to take all these back, do you?"
"No."
Chen Ming had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Manman say, "Jianguo and I will go back together this year."
Xu Jianguo, "Huh?" How could he not know that he wanted to go back.
Chen Ming also looked confused.
Xu Manman continued packing her things as she continued, "Now that the flight routes are open, it's quite convenient to return home. I haven't been back for two years, and I don't lack the money for the plane ticket, so why don't we go back together to visit the country?"
The route passes through Hai City, so we can stay there for a few days to visit my uncle and aunt, and then Jianguo and I will take the train back to Beijing City."
Xu Manman had clearly arranged this in advance.
Chen Ming and Xu Jianguo really had no reason to object. Chen Ming was eager to go home, and although Xu Jianguo had only been there for a year, he really missed his family.
Moreover, following your sister will give you meat to eat, and it is definitely a good idea to hold on to her golden thigh.
With US Dollar paving the way and Caleb's help, they booked the tickets very smoothly.
