I practiced in the United States

"You guys."

Li Ang opened the door and saw the two people at the door, and was suddenly stunned.

Standing in front of him were two Chinese women. The older one looked to be in her thirties, wearing a brown cashmere coat, holding an LV tote bag in her left hand, and a suitcase in her right hand.

The other one should be about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a pink down jacket, with white skin and a little red cheeks due to the cold wind.

Although the two people's faces were a little different from his memory, Li Ang still recognized them at a glance. Aren't they his fourth aunt and cousin?

Of course, if the original body was here, he had only seen a few group photos sent by relatives a few years ago, and he might not be able to recognize them.

In this parallel world, he was born in the United States and has never been to China in the past ten years.

When his parents were alive, they had intersections with relatives in China, but after Li Ang was the only one left, they completely lost contact.

But in Li Ang's own memory, he still had a lot of contact with these two relatives.

He never thought that he would be able to see his relatives again in the United States one day.

The two people at the door, after seeing Li Ang come out, immediately compared the photos in their mobile phones, and then looked at Li Ang again, and confirmed the address by the way, and finally dared to speak:

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You are very different from the photos. I am your fourth aunt, and this is your cousin Liu Menglin. Menglin, call me brother."

The woman in the cashmere coat said, while nudging the little girl next to her with her elbow, signaling her to call someone.

"Brother."

The little girl was obviously still a little unaccustomed, and she lowered her head slightly and called Li Ang in a low voice.

It's no wonder that they also confirmed it for so long. After all, Li Ang has changed drastically compared to himself a year ago, not to mention compared with the photos a few years ago. It can be said that except for some similarities in eyebrows and eyes, there is no other similar points.

Liu Menglin didn't expect that she actually had such a handsome cousin. If she took him to school, she would be so proud! She even felt that the male stars that her girlfriends liked were not as handsome as her American cousin.

"It's cold outside, you guys come in first, and we'll talk later."

Li Ang turned sideways and motioned them to come into the house first.

Being a stranger in a foreign land, Li Ang was really happy to see his former relatives all of a sudden.

In his impression, his cousin was very well-behaved and cute, and her academic performance was always good. When they were young, they often played together.

Although this fourth aunt was a bit snobbish, she was not a bad person after all. She just occasionally spoke a little harshly, and she had made a lot of efforts for the development of their family over the years.

Qiao Yuhui walked into the house, looking at Li Ang's big house with some envy and said:

"America is still good. Everyone can live in such a big villa, and have their own garden and lawn. Unlike us, it takes a lot of life to buy a 100-square-meter house."

In her impression, her distant relative in the United States has always been in average conditions, especially after Li Ang was left alone, I'm afraid his life will become more and more difficult. As an underage child, where can he earn money to support his family?

Li Ang shook his head and explained:

"In the United States, generally only the poor live in this kind of house. In fact, it is not much different from the self-built houses in our hometown. Moreover, even if you build your own house here, you still have to pay property taxes, property fees and other miscellaneous fees."

Although he is definitely not a poor person now, it is indeed the case.

After hearing Li Ang's description, Qiao Yuhui understood it and forced a smile on his face, but did not continue the topic.

"This is why we came here this time. Menglin is just in the first year of high school. Maybe she is not used to the life in school and is a little behind in her studies. The teacher also suggested that we take the child out to play, broaden her horizons and relax her mood. I brought her out now."

"It just so happens that you are alone in the United States. We came here so that we can take care of each other. It just so happens that you are also going to have Christmas, so we can go out and play together."

Although Qiao Yuhui's words were simple, Li Ang still heard a lot of hidden meanings.

First of all, why did she choose to travel at this time? It is more reasonable to take children out to play during winter or summer vacation, but it is rare now.

Moreover, high school is the most intense time for study, and her teacher actually suggested that she take a vacation to play. The situation here must be more than just the reason of not adapting to school life.

He has also been to high school. Seriously, even if he is really sick, as long as it is not serious enough to affect his studies, the teacher will generally not approve the leave.

However, he can't ask more about these things now, and can only slowly understand them from the subsequent chat.

After the two walked into the house, the warm interior with heating suddenly formed a sharp contrast with the cold wind outside.

At first, Qiao Yuhui really believed that Li Ang's big house was similar to the self-built house in the countryside, but now that she came in, she saw that it was not the case at all.

First of all, not to mention the decoration, how much does it cost to heat the whole house in one winter?

Their commercial house is only 100 square meters, and the monthly heating bill costs thousands. There are two floors here, and there are so many rooms, so it must cost thousands, right?

This is just for them, but they still have to grit their teeth to live in it.

Moreover, the decoration inside the house is obviously newly renovated and looks quite good. It is not at all the simple style of self-built houses in rural areas.

In her impression, although her husband's brother lives in the United States, he seems to have never had much money. Now it seems that the actual situation is different from what she knew.

She originally thought that when they arrived in the United States, they were unfamiliar with the place and their English skills were not good enough. She could just call her nephew on board, who could serve as a tour guide and translator, and she would spend money to take the children around. Going shopping and buying him some clothes is considered taking care of him.

Judging from the house at this time, her nephew does not seem to be a poor person. Of course, it is also possible that she is not aware of the situation in the United States.

Liu Menglin was quite reserved. After entering the room, apart from taking the cup of hot cocoa that Li Ang poured for her, she just sat on the sofa in a daze.

The TV was put on for them, and Li Ang took out a lot of snacks and fruits he had stored to entertain them.

In order to supplement vitamins and replenish energy at any time, Li Ang now buys these things by the car, and the main thing is not to seek the best, but to seek the most expensive.

Liu Menglin looked at the fruits, chocolates, cookies, donuts, ready-to-eat seafood, beef jerky and other snacks spread all over the coffee table. Her eyes, which had been in a daze, finally showed some different fluctuations.

But she didn't reach out to take it immediately. Instead, she glanced at Qiao Yuhui next to her.

Qiao Yuhui sighed softly and said:

"Eat, eat, come on, we've all come out to play, can we still restrict you from eating?"

At home, she has always strictly controlled her food. She has basically never eaten any drinks, candy, fast food or junk food.

After hearing her mother's permission, Liu Menglin finally dared to carefully pick up a piece of chocolate and stuff it into her mouth.

Li Ang looked on with some helplessness. In life, there is not much happiness that can be obtained. For most people, food is actually the cheapest and easiest to obtain.

Human genetic instinct determines that the human body will gain satisfaction and happiness when consuming these high-fat and high-sugar foods. However, some people are already having a very hard life, but they still have to limit these.

In his opinion, he just needs to control the amount a little. If he always restrains his desires, living is actually quite boring.

Judging from this point, Li Ang was very suspicious that his cousin might have a psychological problem.

But since she still has desires and is interested in some things, it means there is still hope.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Li Ang let them rest briefly and planned to take them outside to have a good meal.

In his opinion, most mild depression can be cured by heavy consumption and a lot of money.

Just imagine, of course, while you were doing emo late at night, you suddenly found out that you won 100 million in the lottery. Would you still feel that life is boring?

It is also time for them to experience how happy a capitalist country can be.

Because the capacity of his GTR was too small to accommodate two people's luggage, Li Ang even asked Sheila to borrow her Raptor.

Hearing Li Ang say that he would take them out to stay, Qiao Yuhui's face was slightly embarrassed. She had already checked the price of the hotel before coming. Although it seemed to be only one or two hundred yuan, when converted into RMB, it was over a thousand. It's really expensive to live in.

I originally planned to make do with Li Ang's place, but I could save one day's room fee.

But the master has spoken, so of course she can't stay here just begging for nothing.

When they saw Li Ang driving a huge pickup truck, their eyes lit up again.

Although they can't tell how much this car costs, in the simple concept of many Chinese people, big means good and big means expensive.

"It seems like your life is pretty good! You even drive such a nice car."

Qiao Yuhui inquired without leaving any trace.

Li Ang shook his head and replied:

"No, this car is borrowed from a neighbor. My car is a bit small and can't hold so many things."

Qiao Yu will show a true expression.

Liu Menglin silently held a piece of high-end chocolate given by Li Ang, and her condition was obviously much better than at the beginning.

Driving to the best restaurant in the city center, Qiao Yuhui couldn't help but ask before entering:

"It must be expensive to eat here, right?"

Li Ang waved his hand nonchalantly, "I have arranged all these things. As the host, how can I let you spend money?"

Liu Menglin also saw the Michelin logo she had seen in a short video on the wall of the restaurant, and she was a little afraid to go inside.

This money is really insignificant to him. To put it bluntly, his one-day income is enough for the two of them to have fun in the United States for a month.

Before a few people entered, the manager of the restaurant had already greeted them, leading a row of waiters behind them, and gave them the highest reception etiquette.

Even the owner of the restaurant rushed back in person when he heard that Li Ang was coming for dinner today, urging the chef to produce the highest level of food.

Li Ang had asked his assistant to arrange this in advance. If he hadn't wanted to let them experience foreign customs and customs, or to be able to show off in front of other foreigners, Li Ang would have even planned to book the venue.

Not to mention Liu Menglin, even Qiao Yuhui had never seen such a posture before. How could so many foreigners bow and bow to them?

After entering, Li Ang first handed them the menu to see if there was anything they wanted to eat, and then he would add more. Otherwise, if he had finished ordering, they would definitely not dare to order.

It was just that the two of them looked at the three-digit prices on the menu, struggled for a long time and couldn't make a decision. In the end, they just ordered a steak set meal that cost 99 yuan.

Li Ang had no choice but to bring over the menu and order the most expensive dishes.

Although Qiao Yuhui couldn't understand the English spoken by Li Ang, she could tell by looking at it. The waiter had written down a lot of things in the notebook. She subconsciously tried to dissuade her:

"Okay, okay, if you order too much, we won't be able to finish it. Don't spend too much money."

"It's okay, I didn't order much. My cousin and I both ate more when we were growing taller."

Li Ang said without looking back.

"By the way, waiter, add two more pairs of chopsticks to this table."

Worried that they would not be used to using knives and forks, Li Ang thoughtfully asked for two pairs of chopsticks.

In China, if you use chopsticks to eat Western food, you will most likely be called a country brat. But in the United States, if you can use chopsticks to pick up food, you are really awesome. Not only will people not laugh at you, but they will also yell at you. Cast a look of admiration.

When the food was served, they didn't know how much Li Ang actually ordered.

M12 grade beef, French oysters, Australian dragon, king crab, horse dung sea urchin, caviar, foie gras, white jade snail.

In short, a table full of various dishes was laid out.

Although they have never eaten these dishes, thanks to the popularity of short videos, they have seen them in videos.

Qiao Yuhui was really scared. She was already thinking about whether the money she brought would be enough to pay for the meal if her nephew didn't have enough money.

Not to mention it’s expensive. With so many orders, who can eat them all?

In fact, Li Ang himself was quite happy spending this small amount of money, even happier than spending money on himself.

Originally, he thought that he would never be able to show off in front of his relatives and friends in China for the rest of his life. Who knew that they would still take the initiative to send them to him?
