Ellis traveled from Ireland to New York by boat alone, with a strong accent and hometown culture. Just like myself five years ago, one person flew from Beijing to Atlanta with two suitcases. After a short period of excitement and freshness, I slowly experience the endless boredom and hardship of the American countryside.
Ellis went to the mall to work as a salesperson. He was not good at words and had a serious expression. He was said by his boss several times. Thinking of myself at the time, my listening was so bad that I couldn't understand the teacher's questions, the oral English was so bad that the teacher couldn't understand the questions I asked, and the essays were even more grammatical and unintelligible. These are nothing. Chinese students are least afraid of hardship. As long as they work hard, they can always solve their academic problems slowly. The most terrifying thing is the loneliness and confusion of being alone in a distant country, like a big net, overwhelmingly pressed down, making life extremely boring.
At that time, I yearned to advance to the Northwest. This is where I tried my best to come to the United States. A year later, another man dragged two suitcases and flew from Atlanta to Seattle. A three-hour drive from Portland.
Ellis was in his early twenties when he arrived in the United States. When I came to the United States, I was 29 years old. He deceives himself and thinks that he is still at a fancy age. Perhaps the only advantage of the wandering state of life is the ability to maintain a naive and fearless heart.
Even though I am unknowingly and stress-free among a group of young girls in their early twenties, the anxiety of my parents on the overseas phone calls can always pull me back to the cruel reality of a leftover girl in an instant.
Ellis asked Diana, do you want to get married? Diana replied, "No, I want to live in a group dormitory forever and share a bathroom with everyone. Of course I want to get married again, have my own bathroom, and a man with heavy legs is sitting on the toilet and reading a newspaper."
Working as a plumber When Tony said to Ellis that I love you for the first time, Ellis immediately thought of getting married. It seems that women are really born to be marry freaks.
When Ellis told Tony that she also loved Tony and imagined the future, my heart touched my throat, fearing that Ellis' confession would directly scare Tony. Because all love experts warn women to be reserved and to refuse to welcome them. Ellis is lucky. She and Tony are at the same pace, walking hand in hand with joyous dance steps.
I also want to get married, so much. The man who made me go across the ocean to the United States desperately is also of Italian origin. But I am not as lucky as Ellis. He is not Tony either. He shuttled among the blonde beauties, and I was just a passer-by.
There is no turning back in life. I have made appointments for a few times, and I have experienced a few relationships, but I never met the right person. I gave up the idea of getting married and started to concentrate on doing things that I liked. Write brush calligraphy, write novels, model for some photographers, and practice long-distance running. On a summer evening, sitting outside the cafe and calling my mother, I told her confidently that a happy life is better than the pain of marrying a wrong person. I will study hard, find a job hard, save money to buy a small house, and then you can come to the United States to see me.
I thought I would live alone in a foreign country.
But a year later, I got married. I met Tony, a husband who loves me, cares for me, and takes care of me, a home of his own.
When Ellis returned to the Irish town, a new suitor appeared. She wanted to refuse yet to welcome. I thought she was moved. After all, young talents have a good family background and gentlemen are polite, making them a perfect marriage partner. After all, the mother was alone and wanted to keep her by her side to enjoy her old age. After all, that is her hometown, her home. After all, she also got a decent job.
But in the end she returned to Brooklyn and returned to New York. Back to her husband Tony's side.
The entanglement is related to love and has nothing to do with love. what is love? Looking back and smiling Bai Meisheng, only that one glance is ten thousand years; Who doesn't love good clothes and food, handsome boy? But it's just other people's love.
For Ellis, love is the sincerity and responsibility of a poor boy who stands at the school gate every night to pick her up. It is the sincerity and responsibility of taking her to a wasteland to describe her home. It is the sincerity and responsibility of proposing to her and going to the city hall to get a marriage certificate before she returns to China. , Is a letter that is misspelled but sincere.
I can understand Ellis's entanglement, because I have also inadvertently imagined another possibility, the original dream, the person close to the sky. He is like the Irish son, with the aura of envy of the world. A few days ago, the mother of single Wang Lao Wu, a kind and wise elder, sent an e-card on my birthday. She is the one who remembers my birthday except for my husband and my mother. Imagining the old American lady figuring out the day of my Chinese birthday (I only celebrate my birthday), I think sometimes, she is like my mother.
But, I know, that is not my love.
Because I have my Tony.
