The facades on both sides of Chinatown, as well as the various signboards hanging high on both sides of the buildings, are almost all in Chinese.
Moreover, there are almost all Chinese faces on both sides of the street, and there are very few foreign faces here, which makes people feel like they are on the streets of China.
Vancouver Chinatown is one of the most famous Chinatowns in the world and one of the largest.
In this city, Chinese account for 21% of the entire population, which means that one out of every five people in Vancouver is Chinese.
And Chinatown is a place where Chinese people gather highly, so it is normal not to see foreigners here.
The Heisting Street where Ye Chen was going was the most prosperous and core area of Chinatown. When the taxi drove onto this street, the bustling crowd around it was even more lively.
Due to the driving direction, the driver parked the car across the road at No. 47 Hasting Street.
After Ye Chen paid and got out of the car, he immediately saw the store opposite called "Youlin Convenience Store". This was the convenience store run by Aunt Li and Li Xiaofen.
The store doesn't look too big. In terms of width, apart from a double-open glass door, there is only one glass display window.
In addition, it can also be seen that this store was recently renovated, and the overall cleanliness is much higher than other stores around it.
There were many people shopping in the convenience store at this time, and Ye Chen could even see Li Xiaofen who was busy in front of the cashier.
So, he deliberately stood for a while, waiting for all the customers in the store to pay their bills, then he smiled and walked towards the convenience store.
At this time, Li Xiaofen was sorting the cash in the cash register behind the cash register. When she heard the sound of the wind chime when she pushed the door, she said without raising her head: "Welcome!"
Next to the shelves in the store, a girl who was arranging the shelves with her back to Ye Chen also said sweetly: "Welcome!"
Ye Chen saw that both of them were too busy to look at him, so he directly chose a piece of chewing gum from the shelf, and then handed the chewing gum to Li Xiaofen.
Li Xiaofen was too busy to look up, so she just said habitually: "Hello, one dollar."
Ye Chen casually took out a one-dollar coin and placed it in front of Li Xiaofen.
This is a RMB coin with a face value of one yuan. According to the exchange rate, it is almost equal to two cents of the Canadian dollar.
When Li Xiaofen saw the one-yuan coin, she raised her head helplessly and blurted out: "Sir, did you get the wrong one..."
After picking up the wrong three words, before she could finish speaking, Li Xiaofen saw Ye Chen with a smile on his face.
At this moment, she was stunned and stunned. After a while, she came back to her senses and shouted loudly: "Oh my god!! Brother Ye Chen?! Why are you here!!"
As he said that, he crawled over from the cashier counter and immediately threw himself into Ye Chen's arms. He said with surprise and joy: "Didn't you say you would wait until Sister Churan finished her class before coming here? Why?
Arrived today?!"
Ye Chen said with a smile: "It's your sister Churan who is in class, not me. I have nothing to do in the United States, so I came to see you first."
"Oh my god!" Li Xiaofen hugged Ye Chen and jumped several times excitedly, then picked up her phone and said, "I'll call Aunt Li and tell her the good news!"
Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Aunt Li must have gone to the daycare to help, right?"
"Yes!" Li Xiaofen nodded and said, "Aunt Li is in child care from 1:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon."
Ye Chen then said: "Then don't tell her yet, let her busy first so as not to be distracted. I'm not leaving today anyway. It's the same as waiting for her in the store."
Li Xiaofen smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, then you wait in the store to give her a surprise!"
With that said, Li Xiaofen quickly waved to the girl who was packing the shelves in the store: "Claudia, come on, this is the brother Ye Chen I have been telling you!"
The girl named Claudia turned around, looked at Ye Chen, waved politely, and said timidly: "Hello, Mr. Ye..."
