Chapter 105 Dad, stab me again! (First order requested)
At San Francisco Airport, Zhang Wei looked around with a disappointed expression.
Although this is the second largest airport in the western United States, the facilities look very old, giving Zhang Wei the feeling of being in a Hollywood movie in the 1980s.
"It's more shabby than I thought! When you went to New York before, was the airport like this?" Zhang Wei asked.
"That's okay. I feel like New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport is even worse than here." Ye Haotian replied.
The infrastructure in the United States is really hard to describe. As far as the United States is concerned, California is already considered a state with relatively good infrastructure and business. Airports in other states are really not as good as long-distance bus stations in many prefecture-level cities in China.
When I left the airport customs, the immigration officer was not friendly to Chinese people. Various questionings delayed a lot of time.
When I walked into the pick-up hall, I saw the person sent by Berkeley to pick me up. He was a bearded white man nearly two meters tall. He was holding a sign for the University of California, Berkeley, and stood out among the crowd.
Zhang Wei and Ye Haotian immediately came forward to say hello. After confirming their identities, the bearded man led the two to the parking lot.
"Besides you, there are two other people on this flight. They came out earlier and are already on the bus!" The bearded man introduced.
The bearded man's car is a Chevrolet Express, a large van with four rows of seats. However, in order to accommodate luggage, the fourth row of seats has been folded down, leaving only three rows of seats.
The car door opened, and a person got out of the front passenger seat. He was a white young man with a volunteer badge hanging around his neck. He should be a volunteer sent by Berkeley to pick him up.
"Hi, I'm Sam, a volunteer at the University of California, Berkeley! You must be 'Ye Zhang', right?"
"Karma?" Zhang Wei was a little lucky, but luckily Ye Haotian If they don't have the surname "Nie", they will become an evil duo.
Ye Haotian introduced himself: "Hello, I am Ye Haotian and he is Zhang Wei. We are both from Tsinghua University in China!"
"Welcome to San Francisco! I guess you must be very tired from your journey. It doesn't matter. I'll take you to eat something first. I know there is a store that sells apple pie, which tastes very good. They also provide packaging services. Then I will take you to the dormitory. Have a good sleep and get rid of the jet lag!”
The volunteer said, opening the rear door.
Sitting in the second row were two young men, both with Asian faces.
Looking carefully, we can see that there are really enemies on the same road. One of them is Xiao Xihachi who was sitting on the other side of the aisle when we were on the plane!
Xiao Xiba was slightly surprised when he saw Zhang Wei and the two of them. He didn’t expect that the fellow traveler sitting next to him on the plane was also an exchange student coming to Berkeley!
One of them looked at his watch and said impatiently: "We are on the same flight, why are you so slow! I have been waiting for you for more than half an hour!"
"The efficiency of the U.S. Immigration Department "Hey, what does this have to do with us? Go complain to the U.S. Immigration Department!" Zhang Wei immediately replied.
Xiao Xiba was immediately choked. How dare Xiao Xiba complain at the immigration office of his American father!
Volunteer Sam noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and immediately said: "You are all coming to Berkeley as exchange students, why not introduce each other first!"
"Hello, I am from China. "Qingda University, my name is Ye Haotian." Ye Haotian said first, showing his sunny smile.
"China, Tsingta University, Zhang Wei." Zhang Wei didn't even bother to say hello.
"Hwang Jun-ki, Seoul National University, South Korea."
"Hello, I am Lee Jung-min, Seoul National University, South Korea."
"OK, you all know each other , let’s set off!” The volunteer returned to the co-pilot, and the bearded man also sat in the driver’s seat.
This volunteer named Sam is a talker. He kept introducing the surrounding situation along the way. Even if he passed a pizza restaurant, he would give a score on the spot.
However, the other people in the car were too lazy to interact with him. The bearded man had to concentrate on driving. The other four people had just taken a ten-hour flight and were already very tired. Coupled with the jet lag, they didn't want to talk at all at this time. .
"Hey, gentlemen, don't be so reticent. Although the journey back to school is not far, we still have to walk for more than forty minutes. We have to say something!" Sam looked expectantly. Looking at the four people in the two rows behind.
Huang Junji snorted coldly and said in English: "I think these two people are probably not used to this environment and don't know what to say! Don't worry, this is America, there is freedom everywhere The smell!”
Xiao Xiba started to cause trouble.
"Who told you? We Chinese also enjoy the right to freedom of speech!" Ye Haotian immediately retorted, showing the excellent ideological consciousness of a socialist successor.
"Really?" Huang Junji smiled disdainfully, and then said: "We Koreans can scold the president of South Korea, but can you?"
Ye Haotian was slightly startled.
Zhang Wei, who was standing next to him, replied: "Isn't it just to scold the President of South Korea? We Chinese can also scold the President of South Korea! Not only that, we can also scold the President of the United States. Can you Koreans do that?" "We..." Huang Junji suddenly stopped talking. He subconsciously looked at the volunteer Sam and the bearded driver. Both of them were Americans. They scolded the President of the United States in front of other Americans. Is this appropriate?
That’s America’s father’s president!
As a Korean, you can scold the President of South Korea as a piece of shit, but you would never dare to scold the President of the United States!
Zhang Wei showed a sarcastic smile and continued: "Even the President of the United States dare not scold him!"
Finding that the atmosphere was not so peaceful, Sam quickly came out to smooth things over: "Swearing at the President of the United States!" It’s not a big deal. We Americans scold the President of the United States every day. I have some jokes about the President of the United States. Do you want to listen?”
Sam made fun of the President of the United States. The atmosphere in the car was tense.
"Gentlemen, this joke is not bad! We Americans have always had a great sense of humor! If you want to make American friends, you should also have a sense of humor. How about this, each of us, How about taking turns telling a joke?”
"Tell a joke?" Huang Junji looked embarrassed. Let's not talk about whether he was prepared or not. Just speaking of his English level, it was still at the stage where he could communicate normally. He was still far from telling jokes in English!
"Then I'll come first!" Zhang Wei volunteered.
With a TOEFL score of 120, his oral fluency is similar to that of Americans. There is no communication barrier at all. He can tell a joke without any problem.
"This joke is called, how to anger a Korean. It is said that three soldiers of the US military stationed in South Korea made a bet. The content of the bet was who could make the Korean officer in front of him angry.
The first one The American soldier walked up to the Korean officer and said, "Your wife has a really good figure. I especially like the feel of her butt." The Korean officer just smiled and nodded.
The second American soldier walked up to the Korean officer and said, I met your daughter yesterday. I wonder if she is as good as your wife. The three of us plan to ask her out tonight! However, the Korean officer just smiled and was still not angry.
The third American soldier walked up to the Korean officer and just said something in the Korean officer's ear. The Korean officer immediately started fighting with the American soldier, and at the same time he said, "Are you crazy?" ? You bastard, you have to have a limit when joking! "
"What did the third American soldier say? "Volunteer Sam immediately asked curiously.
"The third soldier said, we Americans are planning to withdraw our troops from South Korea! "
"Hahahaha..." Ye Haotian was the first to laugh.
Immediately afterwards, the second person to laugh was the bearded driver. Instead, it was volunteer Sam. He didn't react and looked at the bearded driver in confusion.
Just listen to the bearded driver explain: "Sam, I served in the Marine Corps before. Although I have never been to South Korea, I was stationed in Japan for a period of time. Believe me, for those who have served in the Marine Corps, For American soldiers who have been in overseas bases, this is definitely a very funny joke!”
The two Xiao Xiba opposite had extremely gloomy expressions and almost started to hit them!
I asked you to tell a joke, what can I say? Isn’t it funny that my second brother is invincible? Does it have to involve us Koreans?
Moreover, the US military stationed in South Korea is used as an argument. American soldiers bully Korean wives and daughters. It is only natural. How do you want us Koreans to refute?
Outsiders cannot touch the dogs we raise, so why can’t I pet them myself? It's in your way!
Sam also noticed something was wrong with the expressions of the two Koreans. Although he had never been a soldier, he felt that this joke was not friendly to Koreans.
Sam felt that now we should all be on the same page, at least on the surface, on the side of the Koreans, lest these four people really start fighting in the car.
So Sam put on a serious expression and said; "I have no prejudice against the Chinese, but some of China's actions violate universal values and international norms. As Americans, I still disagree very much.”
“It’s another guy who reads too much of the Wall Street Journal! Let me argue with you!” Zhang Wei thought to himself.
As a reborn person, Zhang Wei is not the kind of Chinese who doesn’t understand the world at all. The self-media of later generations is so developed, and various popular science UP masters introduce the situation of countries around the world in various ways. If it is really a debate, Zhang Wei is better Not even a coward.
So Zhang Wei asked coldly: "What actions do you disagree with?"
"Why don't you China let South Korea be independent?" Sam said righteously.
"This..." Zhang Wei was stunned on the spot.
This question really stumped me!
The two Koreans were stunned.
What does it mean? Why do American dads say this? Don’t American dads love us anymore?
Dad, don’t you want to speak for me and support me?
Why did you stab me with your backhand?
