The landlady's surname is indeed Long, and her name is very interesting, she is called Long Mei.
She looked at Tang Xiaobao and suddenly smiled.
No matter who he is, he is just her guest here.
"Do you want to eat?"
"Yes, fellow."
Tang Xiaobao said hello in Sichuan dialect.
"Are you from Sichuan?"
Long Mei asked in Sichuan dialect in surprise.
"Isn't Dragon Warrior a panda? Sichuan is the hometown of pandas."
Tang Xiaobao blinked.
"You can't really be Don—"
Long Mei didn't say anything.
Tang Xiaobao just smiled and did not answer, deny or admit.
Long Mei understood and said to the waiter: "Quick, go get some dishes and I'll treat you."
ah?
The waiter was stunned for a moment and frowned and said, "Sister Long, won't you close today? If you don't close the door, it might not be safe soon."
"Don't worry about it, you can go cook."
Long Mei hesitated for a moment and then made up her mind.
The waiter had no choice but to go to the kitchen to cook.
Tang Xiaobao was arranged to sit down by Long Mei.
She poured another cup of tea and said, "This is the tea I asked someone to bring from China. It's not a good tea, but I usually can't bear to drink it. Today, a distinguished guest is here. Let's try it to see if it tastes like home."
"
Tang Xiaobao took a taste and looked up, only to find that Long Mei was waiting expectantly for his answer.
He was embarrassed to say that he couldn't taste the tea, so he could only smile and said: "It is indeed delicious, and it has a taste of hometown."
"That's good, that's good."
Long Mei smiled and nodded, a little at a loss.
For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say.
She is now sure that the man in front of her is the Dragon Warrior who is wanted everywhere, and he is from Sichuan, so he is probably really Tang Xiaobao.
But she won't point it out.
After a while, she asked carefully: "You are wanted everywhere outside, aren't you afraid?"
"Why should I be afraid? It should be them who are afraid."
"That's right, you are really awesome."
Long Mei gave a thumbs up.
Tang Xiaobao smiled and asked: "You are also from Sichuan, why did you think of opening a store here? How is the business?"
"The business is so-so. In fact, I have been living here since I can remember. I was brought here by my parents. In the past ten years, I have never been back."
Long Mei said sadly.
Tang Xiaobao was a little curious: "Why do you feel so sad? Are you homesick?"
"Well, I think, I dream about going back."
Long Mei's eye circles were a little red.
Tang Xiaobao consoled him: "You can go back if you want. China has developed very well in recent years and has changed a lot."
"I can't go back."
Long Mei sighed.
Tang Xiaobao asked: "Why?"
Long Mei hesitated for a moment and then said: "Are you drinking?"
"ah?"
"I'll have a few drinks with you. It just so happens that I haven't eaten either. Then we can chat while drinking, okay?"
Long Mei looked at Tang Xiaobao expectantly.
Tang Xiaobao naturally would not refuse.
It’s nice to be in a foreign country, eating food from home, drinking wine with fellow villagers, and listening to stories.
Soon, the waiter cooked up a few dishes.
He took off his apron, frowned and said: "I have to go back, you should close the stall early, it will be really unsafe soon."
"Okay, you go back first."
Long Mei said: "By the way, don't talk about what happened tonight everywhere."
"Long Mei, you are looking down on me too much. We are Chinese after all, and I can't do anything like betraying our compatriots."
The guy said seriously.
"Okay, okay, you go back first."
Long Mei waved.
The waiter said hello to Tang Xiaobao and left first.
Long Mei went over and closed the door, then came back and took out a bottle of wine.
This wine is also a small turret in the country.
"Why do you have this kind of wine?"
Tang Xiaobao was even more surprised.
"This is the wine from my hometown, Pyeongchang, do you know?"
"I know, I'm from Bazhong."
Pingchang is a county town and is under the jurisdiction of Bazhong.
"Ah, yes, yes, you are from Tongjiang, Bazhong, and I am from Pingchang. We are really fellow villagers."
Only then did Long Mei remember something. Wasn't Tang Xiaobao from Bazhong Tongjiang?
The fellow villager burst into tears when he saw the fellow villager. Long Mei was a little excited. She poured two glasses of wine and said to Tang Xiaobao: "It's fate that we can meet a real fellow villager here. Let's do it."
She drank it all herself.
However, she doesn't seem to be a very good drinker. After a glass of wine, her face turns red, like a red apple in autumn, which only adds to her cuteness.
She looked very young, twenty years old at most, but she looked very mature and prudent, and she seemed to have a lot of things on her mind, which made Tang Xiaobao feel a little sympathetic.
and curiosity.
Tang Xiaobao also did it, and while eating the food, he said: "Since our fellow villagers bumped into each other, it is fate. If you have anything on your mind, you might as well tell me. Sometimes, you can't keep things in your heart and talk about it.
If you share it with others, you won’t be so unhappy.”
"I want to, but I don't have anyone to share it with. Just so you can be an audience today."
"Okay, I'm all ears."
Long Mei rubbed her eyes with both hands to push back the tears from the corners of her eyes. She took a long breath and then said: "My hometown is Pingchang. My father used to be the deputy county magistrate in charge of urban construction. But later,
He moved our family here."
"Why?"
Tang Xiaobao couldn't help but ask.
How could a deputy county magistrate suddenly immigrate?
"Because he was embezzled and embezzled a lot of money. He was afraid that the incident would be exposed, so he took us to Country M and kept his name anonymous."
"ah?"
Tang Xiaobao was immediately dumbfounded.
This story…
It really surprised him.
Long Mei laughed at herself: "Do you look down on me in particular?"
"Why should I look down on you?"
"Because my dad is a fugitive."
Tang Xiaobao smiled bitterly and said: "What does that have to do with you? He is him and you are you. By the way, how have you been doing since you came here? Where are your parents? Why do you let you open a shop here alone?"
Long Mei poured the wine, took a sip, and then said: "They all left and died in a car accident, leaving me alone to live."
Tang Xiaobao didn't know what to say for a moment.
Is this retribution?
But it doesn't seem very fair to Long Mei.
She is innocent.
Now he is an orphan.
Long Mei continued: "I have been unhappy these years. After graduating from high school, I have been working outside. After my parents passed away, I donated all the money at home back to China. I funded a lot
I am an orphan in the mountainous area. I want to use this method to atone for my father's sins, but it is obviously useless. In the past two years, business has become increasingly difficult, and the public security nearby has become worse and worse. I often have to be arrested.
Robbery, me
I don’t want to do it anymore, but I don’t know how to do anything else except open a shop. I want to go back to my country. I dream of going back to my country. Even if I go back to beg, it’s still on my own land. People in the country think that I have taken it.
The green card in country M means that people are better than others. In fact, here, we Chinese people are very discriminated against and excluded by the locals. What's more, I have not received a green card now. In other words, I am now fully qualified.
