Counterattack 1988

Hearing the meaning of Zhou Xia's words, Wang Lin seemed to be a little angry, but he was not annoyed, and said haha: "We are not only relatives, but also subordinates. You are my most capable assistant, my most important right-hand man, and my right-hand man. People who don’t dare to offend, and are even careful to please.”

When Zhou Xia heard this, her pretty face that was originally stern turned into Hongxia in an instant, and she smiled softly: "You can really talk with this mouth!"

Wang Lin laughed beside her and said, "Xiaoxia, my brother is very generous. We spend his money just to satisfy his rich man's desire to help the poor. So, just spend his money and don't have any psychological burden."

Wang Lin said with a smile: "It's still my sister who understands me. I am, to put it bluntly, a nouveau riche. Once this person has money, he likes to show off, love to show off, and likes to throw money at people and knock them out. I'm very happy."

Zhou Xia pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You are obviously not that kind of person, do you have to make yourself so miserable?"

Wang Lindao: "Hey, I still have such a problem. If I spend money on others and they don't accept my favor, then I will really be unhappy. It's like you are a woman and you fall in love with a certain man. You ran over to confess your love, but you were rejected, can you feel better?"

Zhou Xia smiled and bent over: "Can this be the same?"

Wang Lindao: "Same, same."

Zhou Xia said: "Then what do you mean, if you spend money on me, you are also expressing your love to me? I'll tell Wenxiu to go."

Wang Lin: "..."

Zhou Xia rolled his eyes at him, smiled triumphantly, and took two clothes to try on.

After a while, everyone chose their clothes and took them to the cashier to pay.

The store is very big, and there are many people shopping, but there are quite a few people paying the bill, so there is no need to queue.

The cashier was very happy to see that Wang Lin and the others had purchased so many clothes.

"Hello, sir, are you paying the bill together?"

"Yes."

"OK. I'll settle the bill for you now. The total is twenty-eight thousand dollars."

Li Wenxiu roughly calculated it just now, and said in surprise: "Isn't it right? I just calculated these clothes, and the number is wrong."

The cashier said: "That's it. Our selling price does not include tax, so additional tax will be added at the time of settlement."

Wang Lin nodded: "I know."

He said to Li Wenxiu: "The shopping here is like this. There is no tax on clothes below 100 US dollars, but cosmetics, shoes, and meals are all taxed. The tax rate is different in each state. Of course, there are also many Chinese here. There will be no extra tax for Chinese shops.”

Li Wenxiu said: "Why is this so! I'm really speechless."

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Many of our domestic products also include taxes."

Li Wenxiu said: "Okay, do as the Romans do."

Wang Lin paid the money, asked the clerk to pack the clothes in multiple bags, and left with them.

The night view of New York is similar to that of Shanghai twenty years later. For those who have seen Xiangjiang and the bustling streets of Paris, although it is not bad, it is not amazing.

The most obvious difference is that there are a lot of cars on the street, which is really busy, especially when the traffic is congested, the street is full of cars, and you can't see the end at a glance.

New York is the world's largest metropolis, and it is also a world-famous city that never sleeps. The whole city is brightly lit every night. …

The brightness of a city's lights at night can also be said to represent the prosperity and modernization level of a city.It is not accidental that New York can become a world-renowned city that never sleeps.

Beside the road, rows of street lights illuminate the night, so that the night is no longer dark; in the road, there are long lines of cars, so that the night is no longer lonely; on the houses, strings of decorative lights dress up the houses, so that the night is not No matter how ugly it is, a nice English song floats out from that intersection.The horns of the cars waiting for the red light, the ringing of the bells of the bicycles crossing the road, and the voices of passers-by on the sidewalk, the whole street became a noisy and disturbing piece of music.

Later, many cities in our country also learned from the United States and started lighting projects, and some of them even had night light shows.The night of the city is much more beautiful, but it also creates other problems, such as light pollution and energy waste.

When crossing the road, it is clear that there is a red light, but there are still many people who run the red light.

Li Wenxiu said: "Aren't these American people following the traffic rules?"

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Americans talk about freedom and not being bound by rules. If you go shopping and find that there is a red light on the opposite side, but all the Americans around you are crossing the road and you stand alone, that is not right. Strange. In fact, in other parts of the United States, pedestrians obey the traffic rules, but in New York, people feel that waiting for a red light is a waste of life."

Li Wenxiu said: "I don't believe it. People in New York are so busy? So busy that they can't even wait for two minutes for a red light?"

Wang Lindao: "People in every region have their own way of life, we don't have to worry about it."

A group of people went shopping and saw that it was late, and the mothers began to miss their children, so they returned to the hotel.

Everyone came to Wang Lin's presidential suite.

Children also suffer from jet lag, and it is not always possible to fall asleep after dark.

Wang Wen and his friends are having fun!

Wang Lin, Zhou Jun and others discussed the itinerary for the next few days.

"You must go to the Metropolitan Museum." Zhou Xia said, "This is the largest museum in the world."

Wang Lindao: "There are many museums in New York. If you want to visit them one by one, it may take a year."

Zhou Xia said, "I'll talk about the rest later, but the metropolis must go."

Wang Lindao: "Okay, okay, then the first stop of our tour will be in the metropolis, okay?"

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "Okay!"

Li Wenxiu said: "Where are the tall buildings we saw?"

Wang Lindao: "You mean the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center, right? Those are the tallest buildings in the world, and they are worth seeing."

Zhou Congee said: "There is also Times Square! We went to see it tonight, but we couldn't see the whole picture. We have to go to see it again during the day."

Wang Lin took a pen to write down one by one: "You can tell where you want to go, and we can arrange the itinerary. If you don't know where to go, just take a look at the travel guide we made in advance, as well as the map and travel guide of New York."

Tian Xiaoqing said, "Wang Lin, where is Wall Street?"

Wang Lindao: "In the southern part of Manhattan, a big street extending from Broadway Road to the East River. Wall Street must go, let's touch the cow's butt." …

Li Wenxiu smiled and said, "What kind of bullshit?"

Wang Lindao: "There is a big copper bull in front of the New York Stock Exchange. Every tourist who comes to New York will take a photo with it to get a sense of bullishness, just like we would touch some mascots when we go to temples."

Li Wenxiu said: "Then if we want to touch it, we must also touch the cow's head and horns. What are we doing touching its butt?"

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Because there are too many people, the people taking pictures at the cow's head are crowded, we can only touch the cow's butt."

Everyone laughed.

Gu Qingyu said: "Central Park is worth visiting."

Wang Lindao: "Yes, this place is definitely going to."

Zhou Congee said, "I want to see the Statue of Liberty."

Wang Lin said: "Okay, let's go and see."

Zhou Jun said: "Brooklyn Bridge! That is the symbol of New York."

Wang Lin said: "A bridge, what's so good about it? You don't know where to choose!"

Zhou Jun said: "Have you seen any American movies? That bridge is very famous, just the red and red cable-stayed cable-stayed suspension bridge with two tall red pillars, have you seen it?"

Wang Lin said: "I seem to have a little impression, it's just a bridge."

Wang Lindao: "Sister, that's all right, let's take a car and pass by the bridge, just take a good look at the bridge."

Shen Xuedao: "Broadway! I heard that there are dozens of theaters. We have to take a good look to see if there is anything worthy of learning and reference for our little larks."

Li Wenxiu said: "I'm here to investigate the beauty market, Shen Xue, let's find some time to go to the street to see the beauty parlor, I also want to introduce the latest model of beauty machines!"

Shen Xue said: "Okay, let's experience the capitalist beauty project too!"

Zhou Jun smiled and said, "Then let's go see the capitalist bars and dance halls, shall we?"

Wang Lin said: "Are the dance halls and bars here particularly open? What strip dancers, and even more explicit performances! Are they all there? If there are, don't go to see them."

Zhou Jun said: "You have come to New York, why are you still so conservative? Be more open! We came here with a critical attitude."

Wang Lin stared at him and said, "You still want to criticize? You must be the first one to be corrupted."

Zhou Jun patted his chest and said: "Absolutely impossible! Not to mention those dancers, even the eldest lady of capitalism can't corrupt me."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Sister, it's okay to go and see for a while. How can people's thoughts be so easily corrupted? Just see the world."

Wang Lin said: "This person is the easiest to turn bad! Those women seduce him, can he stand it?"

Wang Lindao: "Sister, if you are worried, you can follow along. With you by his side, how can he mess around?"

Wang Lin asked in surprise, "Can women also play?"

Wang Lindao: "It's just a night show. It's just drinking, singing, watching and dancing. There are also many women going there. What kind of place do you think it is? However, the sex of Americans is indeed more open than ours, so there will be more temptations, but It's hard to say whether those blond-haired and blue-eyed American girls can fall in love with Orientals like us."

Zhou Jundao: "That's right, what do you think I am? Everyone loves me?" …

Wang Lin thought about it for the same reason. Could it be that if Zhou Jun went out to play for a while, he would be able to meet girls from the United States right away?It's impossible to think about it, right?Maybe American girls have such a low vision?Thinking of this, she stopped talking.

We discussed the itinerary and listed a dozen places that we wanted to go sightseeing.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Half a month should be enough for us to travel."

Unknowingly, the night was deep, and no one felt sleepy.

Li Wenxiu said: "This is not possible, we have to hurry up to get rid of the jet lag, otherwise we sleep during the day, where can we go to play at night?"

Wang Lindao: "Go back to your room and rest! Lie on the bed and force yourself to fall asleep. We can use up to two days to beat the jet lag."

So everyone dispersed.

Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu came to the bedroom.

Huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, outside is the brightly lit city night scene.

"This is really a city that never sleeps." Li Wenxiu looked at the street scene and said, "How can there be such a scene in Shencheng?"

Wang Lindao: "This is also the reason why Chinese people are keen to go abroad."

Li Wenxiu said: "A person who works in a restaurant can earn so much money every month, who wouldn't want to come out?"

Wang Lindao: "Actually, they are almost the same. The consumption in New York is also high. Shencheng also has high wages, and there are also foreigners who come to work and make money!"

Li Wenxiu said: "That's right! There are also poor people in foreign countries."

Wang Lindao: "Of course, we are in the most prosperous area, and what we see is the most beautiful side. The average salary of Americans is only about 4500 U.S. dollars, and the salary level of [-] U.S. dollars per month belongs to the income comparison The high class belongs to the gold-collar class, such as: university professors, doctors, etc. Like the waiter we know, he is just an example, maybe he has done a good job. Another point is that we believe half of what they say Now, maybe his real salary is not so high, it's just a show of face in front of his compatriots."

Li Wenxiu smiled and said, "Everyone wants face! Wang Lin, I suddenly want—"

She snuggled into Wang Lin's arms, and the two kissed passionately.

Wang Lin hugged his wife and came to the big and soft bed.

The two were exhausted and fell asleep hugging each other.

On the first night in a foreign country, I didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

Wang Lin set an alarm clock and forced himself to wake up at [-]:[-] in the morning. Only in this way can he finish jet lag the next day, otherwise it will be a vicious circle and it will be difficult to travel.

Li Jiaxin, Tang Yan and others had already arrived in New York from Xiangjiang, and came to the hotel to meet Wang Lin.

To Wang Lin's surprise, Zhou Xiaomin also came.

The few of them didn't see Wang Lin for a while, and they talked after a farewell.

Zhou Porridge and the others were still asleep, and they couldn't wake up no matter how much they shouted.

We waited until ten o'clock in the morning before everyone gathered.

Zhou Conge yawned and said, "I just slept for a while, and you woke me up! We came out to play, not to work, what are we doing up so early?"

Wang Lindao: "What time do you check? Is it still early? It's time for lunch. Do you still want to play?"

After washing up, everyone came out.

This is the case when there are too many people. This one is more anxious, that one is slower, this one procrastinates, that one says he needs to go to the bathroom again, and this one says he forgot to bring something. …

It was already eleven o'clock when we officially left the hotel.

Everyone didn't bother to eat any big meals, bought some bread to take with them, and went to the first stop, the Metropolitan Museum.

Manhattan is divided into upper, middle and lower districts.

Uptown can be divided into the Upper West Side and the Upper East Side with Central Park as the boundary.

The Metropolitan Museum is located on the east side of Central Park in Midtown Manhattan, across from the Museum of Natural History.The Metropolitan Museum, the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, and the Hermitage are known as the four major museums in the world.The long-term exhibits in the museum total 200 million pieces and are divided into 19 exhibition hall areas.

It's such a big museum that you can't finish it in a day.

Like other large museums, there is also an Asian exhibition area, among which there are many rare treasures from our country.

The Metropolitan Museum can take pictures at will, as long as the flash is not turned on, but no video is allowed.

Tickets adopt a donation system, and tourists are completely free to choose how much to pay. No matter how much they pay, they will be issued a small round badge, which is the ticket for the day.

Today is not a holiday, and there are not many people visiting the museum.

After Wang Lin and others entered the museum, they followed the tourists in front and watched the past one by one.

An exhibition hall next to the hall was cordoned off, surrounded by many people watching something lively.

Wang Lin and others leaned over to have a look, and it turned out that a film crew was filming.

"He's filming, it's nothing to see, let's go!" Li Wenxiu said.

Wang Lin hummed and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
