China has been invaded for half a century, and only the concession can present a prosperous scene.

In addition, even Pingcheng, which has a long history and profound political significance, is a dilapidated scene. The roads are wide enough, but the government has no money or energy, and has no mind to pay attention to infrastructure. The road conditions are bumpy and the loess road surface is crushed by carriages, one shallow and one shallow.

Standing at the same historical node, the current situation between the United States and China is very different.

When the ship approached the shore entrance, Xiao Sheng and others were huddled in the room. At this time, they walked out of the cabin with their luggage to the deck. Just look up and you could see rows of tall buildings standing one after another. The iron bridge was built high in the river, and pedestrians were walking laughing and making fun of them above.

Xiao Sheng and others were completely shocked by the current situation of such a city that was different from Pingcheng.

"This is the United States! No wonder they said they must come out and see the world. Compared with Western countries..." Jianghuai couldn't control his turbulent emotions and sighed with a trembling voice.

There are obviously many people who have the same idea as him at this time.

Xiao Sheng barely regained his peace when he heard Jiang Huai's words. For some reason, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Heng Yu.

It was obviously the first time he came to such a big city like them, but compared to their surprise, Heng Yu's expression was extremely calm.

However, the other party came from a famous family and was now in a poor family, but the things he came into contact with were not on the same level as him. It was natural that he would be so calm.

Jiang Huai also saw the calmness on Heng Yu's face and snorted softly: "Pretending."

Heng Yu smiled indifferently. Seeing that Xiao Sheng was still in a daze, he spoke and reminded: "Brother Xiao, the people in front are already a long distance away from us." They are now queuing up to get off the boat.

"Ah, oh oh oh." Xiao Sheng came to his senses and hurried forward.

After getting off the boat, the few people were shocked by the lively scene at the shore entrance again.

Heng Yu stood by with his luggage and waited for Xiao Sheng and the others to come to their senses.

Such an impact is bound to occur. Although it is clearly at the same historical node, China is poor and weak, and the people's faces are numb, while the United States is different.

These people on the road clearly have high or low identities, but their faces are all very peaceful, the kind of peace that has not been infected by the turmoil in troubled times and smoke.

"It's so good." Xiao Sheng suddenly turned his head to look at Hengyu, "Brother Lin, this trip abroad is indeed the right one. I originally wanted to go to Japan, and the tickets and expenses for Japan were much cheaper, but my teacher had been to the United States before and always suggested that I come to the United States. I only know his intention until now."

Although the United States is also a rising star compared to the United Kingdom, its progress is undoubtedly much faster than that of Japan.

Heng Yu couldn't help but smile when he heard these words, and showed the first smile when he got off the boat.

At this time, the two had already separated from Jiang Huai and others. Xiao Sheng originally wanted to find someone to find a place to stay, but Heng Yu had a clear goal, so Xiao Sheng followed him.

As they walked, they left the shore and came to the street.

Compared to the bustling shore entrances, the streets are more spacious. There are pedestrians walking on the flat streets, cars and carriages, and the railway tracks spread from their eyes to the end of their sight and can no longer be seen.

After Xiao Sheng had experienced the previous impact, he could calm down in the face of such a scene. Before he could look at it a few more times, he saw Heng Yu quickly walking towards the carriage parked by the roadside, talking to the coachman in fluent English, and the two quickly got on the carriage.

The carriage crushed the road. Xiao Sheng sat in the shaking carriage for a while, but still couldn't help but ask Heng Yu, "Brother Lin, where are we going now?"

"I went to find a friend of my father. Before I came to the United States, I had written a letter to him and asked him to find a place for me near his home." Heng Yu replied.

As one of the first batch of people in China to study abroad, Lin’s father must have connections. Among the same group of people as Lin’s father, there are scholars, politicians and generals. Although the number is not large, it covers almost all aspects of talents.

The carriage swayed for almost an hour and finally arrived at its destination.

Xiao Sheng and Heng Yu got off the carriage. The place they came to looked not very prosperous, but the environment was quiet and far away from the noisy streets and factories.

After Heng Yu got off the carriage, he carried his suitcase to look at the street sign. He didn't talk much, but he was doing things safely. Xiao Sheng didn't ask much and followed him directly.

After judging the location clearly, Heng Yu and Xiao Sheng quickly walked into a street. Two of them asked about the road again. After walking for nearly half a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.

The place they visited was a unique villa building, which looked a bit old from the outside.

Heng Yu stepped forward and rang the doorbell. Soon, an elderly lady in a dress came to open the door for Heng Yu. Her eyes were circled around Heng Yu and Xiao Sheng, and then stopped on Heng Yu.

Zhuo Nansi smiled and said to Heng Yu: "This should be Heng Yu. You have grown up a lot, and your aunt almost couldn't recognize her."

"Your Uncle Han and I have been waiting for you. Calculate the time, your boat has arrived in the past or two days. I was still talking about you just now. I didn't expect that people just kept talking about you. As soon as they said, you heard the doorbell ringing outside."

Zhuo Nansi made some moves a little bit and walked in for Hengyu and Xiao Sheng, "Come in first."

"Thank you, aunt." Heng Yu replied with a smile, walked in with Xiao Sheng, then stood there waiting for Zhuo Nansi to lock the door, and then walked into the house under her leadership.

Lin’s father’s friend Han Feiguang was sitting in the living room looking through the newspapers delivered this morning. Hearing the movement at the door, he stood up, and Zhuo Nansi happened to lead Heng Yu and Xiao Sheng in.

Han Feiguang's hair was a little short. This world is different from the earth in modern historical process. As early as 40 years ago, when China opened its eyes to the world, many progressive people in China called on the Chinese to cut off their braids and keep short hair like foreigners. Over the years, Chinese men who have received a certain degree of education have all had short hair.

The same is true for Heng Yu and Xiao Sheng, but they were drifting on the boat for more than a month. Heng Yu's hair was slightly longer, slightly blocking his sharp and clear eyes.

When Heng Yu saw Han Feiguang, he smiled and said, "Uncle Han, I'm disturbing you."

"What are you saying?" Han Feiguang put the newspaper back on the table and welcomed him forward. "I haven't seen you for many years. When I went to the United States to settle down, you were only high in my shoulders. Now you are already taller than me. And Lao Lin..."

After being gently patted by Zhuo Nansi, Han Feiguang realized that the topic was a little off. He shook his head and asked Hengyu and Xiao Sheng to sit down, "Oh, sit down, you guys sit down first. Is this Hengyu's friend?"

Xiao Sheng met Han Feiguang's gaze and subconsciously sat up straighter, "Hello, my name is Xiao Sheng, and I met Brother Lin on the boat."

Han Feiguang nodded, and saw that Xiao Sheng probably didn't know his identity yet, and introduced himself: "I am Han Feiguang, and I have been living in the United States for many years."

Han Feiguang... Anyone who knows something about the Chinese literary world knows this name very well.

Han Feiguang was also the first batch of students in China to study abroad for public expenses. After returning from school, he served as a senior government official and was mobilized several times in the education system. Until a few years ago, he was implicated due to political issues and went to the United States to settle in order to take refuge.

Xiao Sheng couldn't help but feel awe, "I heard Mr. Han's name for a long time, but I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see you today."

Zhuo Nansi brought two glasses of water and put them in front of Hengyu and Xiao Sheng. When he heard Xiao Sheng's words, he couldn't help but chuckled: "You are Hengyu's friend, why not follow Hengyu and call us as uncles and aunts.

You are going to stay in the United States for a while, and you are still learning for the prosperity of your country, so you will be more comfortable here."

Xiao Sheng was a little flattered. Although others were a bit nerdy, they were definitely not stupid. Following Zhuo Nansi's words, "Uncle, aunt."

When Xiao Sheng talked to Zhuo Sinan, Han Feiguang's eyes kept falling on Heng Yu.

From the moment he entered the door, Heng Yu's back has been straight. His aura is not sharp, but when he sits there quietly, you will never ignore him just because he doesn't make a sound.

On the contrary, this young man seemed to have a strange magic power, which always made Han Feiguang unable to help but look at him.

"Hengyu, let's drink some water first. You have not drunk some water after entering the door for so long." Han Feiguang suddenly spoke, raised his hand and pointed to the cup on the table.

Heng Yu had long noticed Han Feiguang's gaze, but the elder's gaze was gentle and harmless. Heng Yu did not notice anything wrong and did not react. He just listened quietly to the conversation between Xiao Sheng and Zhuo Sinan.

Hearing Han Feiguang's words, Heng Yu pursed his lips and chuckled, raised his hand and picked up the water cup and took a few sips, "Thank you uncle."

Han Feiguang had no longer paid attention to Heng Yu, but Yu Guang could not help but look at Heng Yu's drinking water.

He has lived abroad for so many years and has received many young students who came to study in the United States from China. Some of these young students have been appreciated by him and become his disciples.

But he had seen so many people, but just from his demeanor, no one could compare to Hengyu.

Thinking of Brother Lin who died of illness, Han Feiguang sighed in his heart. His friend had raised a good son.

The few people sat for a while. The cook invited by Han Feiguang had already cooked the lunch. The four of them used lunch together. Han Feiguang took Heng Yu and Xiao Sheng to their place.

"You live in an apartment, enough for you two to live. It only takes five minutes to walk from me. It was a friend of mine before. But if he had something to move out at his house, I rented the apartment.

Because he is an acquaintance, the price given by the landlord is very affordable." Han Feiguang said as he walked.

He said it simply, but Heng Yu still thanked him solemnly, "Please trouble uncle."

Han Feiguang smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Lingchu originally wanted to stay at home to greet you, but yesterday there was something happening in the school, so she had to hurry back to school. When she came back, you came over to my house for a meal."

Han Lingchu is the only daughter of Han Feiguang. Before Han Feiguang came to settle in the United States, the Han family and the Lin family lived very close. Han Lingchu and Heng Yu often played together when they were young.

"No wonder I didn't see Ling Chu at home today." Heng Yu pursed his lips and smiled, "I brought her a meeting gift, but I won't bother my uncle to bring it to her. I will give it to her in person when I meet next time."

Han Feiguang smiled and said, "She has been talking about you since she received your letter. Fortunately, you didn't forget to bring her a gift, otherwise she would have been talking about it by this girl. She has been spoiled by me and her mother over the years and has become more and more coquettish."

Heng Yu knew the art of chatting well, and he had a good impression of Han Lingchu, so he praised according to Han Feiguang's words: "With my uncle's family tutor, Lingchu was only a little lively at most, and it had nothing to do with spoiling."

Han Feiguang couldn't help laughing and waved his hand, "I won't talk about this girl anymore. I haven't asked you yet, what are you planning to do after you arrive in the United States? If you want to go to school, I have some connections in my hands, so I can arrange some of them for you."

Heng Yu glanced at Xiao Sheng, "Brother Xiao, let's talk first."

Xiao Sheng was always worried about his studies. When he saw Han Feiguang willing to help, he felt embarrassed, but he still said respectfully: "Uncle Han, I have a bad foundation in English. I plan to learn English while doing odd jobs and earn money. I will take time to attend architecture at a nearby university every day. When my English level is improved, I will consider formal admission."

Han Feiguang suddenly asked in English, and Xiao Sheng was stunned for a moment before he realized, and he was busy replying in English.

He is not fluent enough when speaking English and has some pronunciation problems. It doesn’t have much problem using it for communication during daily life. It will be a bit difficult if he wants to keep up with the teacher in class.

Han Feiguang nodded, turned his head to look at Heng Yu, and asked him another question. Heng Yu pursed his lips and chuckled, answering in English. After answering Han Feiguang's question, Heng Yu turned his head to look at Xiao Sheng, "We can switch to English when we communicate with each other."

Xiao Sheng smiled gratefully at Hengyu.

"What are Hengyu's plans? You used to be in the Department of Mathematics at China University. Are you planning to go to the Department of Mathematics to continue your further studies?" Han Feiguang asked in Chinese instead.

"Uncle, I plan to take a look first. If I need it, I will ask you to help." Heng Yu politely declined Han Feiguang's proposal.

Nowadays, the situation is changing every day. It is not very useful for him to study quietly in school. He still has to think carefully for a while.

His body is only twenty years old now, and people of his age are still in school. Han Feiguang subconsciously frowned when he heard his words, because Heng Yu's current choice is very different from what he wrote in the letter a few months ago.

However... he traveled across the ocean for more than a month. He was well protected by his family before, but now he has seen it a lot, and it is possible to have other thoughts.

Seeing Hengyu's expression serious, Han Feiguang knew that he had made a decision in his heart, but he did not persuade him again, "Anyway, there are still two or three months before the start of university. You should think carefully first. If you need any help, come and find me."

While speaking, the three of them had already walked to a residential building, climbed the stairs to the third floor, Han Feiguang took out a key from his pocket, opened the lock, and pushed the door open and walked in.

This apartment has three rooms, a living room and a kitchen, and the furniture is also ready-made.

Heng Yu put his luggage into the largest room, and Xiao Sheng entered the one of the remaining two rooms close to the kitchen.
