"Knockknock".
There was a knock at the door, and Lu Ke looked up and looked over. "Who is there?"
"Jack? It's me, Vance." It was a strange voice, and a strange name, but it was not uncommon. Lu Ke had lived alone for almost a year, and not all neighbors knew it. .
Lu Ke stood up quickly, opened the front door, and said politely, "Sorry, my father hasn't got off work yet. I'm Lu Ke. Can I help you?"
Standing at the door is a middle-aged man about 40 years old, wearing a simple white golf shirt with a light gray casual blazer, and the two temples are slightly stained with gray, revealing the traces of years There is a posture of real estate agency managers-
In the United States, real estate intermediaries are considered middle-class occupations, and their income is really good.
At this time, the person came holding a squared kraft paper bag, which looked like the size of a vinyl record. The reason for this speculation is that Lu Zhengzheng has the habit of collecting vinyl records.
It ’s not a collection of limited editions or rare editions, but vinyl records of Chinese songs, such as Deng / Lijun, Zhang / Xueyou, or Feng / Feifei. When I first came to the United States, I always missed my hometown, but suffered from no way. Music is undoubtedly the best carrier. Lu Zhengzheng began to collect vinyl records.
It is not so much a hobby as it is a habit that has continued from then on.
"You are Lu Ke, right? The San Francisco 49ers quarterback." The other side looked up and down carefully, and then successfully recognized Lu Ke. "I have heard before that Jack's son is now. The darling of Candlestick Stadium, but I am not a football fan, and I have never seen it with regret. I finally met today, but ... "
The other party's gaze made Lu Ke lower his head and looked at himself. Then he realized that he was still holding a walnut kernel box in his hand, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, and looked like an unemployed wanderer at home. Lu Ke laughed dumbly, "In my parents' house, I still used to make myself light and comfortable."
"No, I mean, you are less like a professional player than you think ... If you tell me that you are a reporter or a graduate student, I would not be surprised." The face frankly expressed his inner thoughts, but with a kind of gentle and natural like spring breeze.
Lu Ke couldn't help but chuckled, and said meaningfully, "Don't be bound by a fixed impression."
"I finally realize the meaning of this sentence now." The other party even agreed with his jaws. "Yes, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Vance-Jacobs, and I am very happy to know you. I did not expect that I could actually meet a rugby player, and it was not the same as I expected. "
"Mr. Jacobs, it's my pleasure to know you." Lu Ke gave up his foot, gestured the passage in front of him, and issued an invitation. "Sorry, I actually let the guest stand at the door. If my father knew, He must blame me for being impolite. "
"No, no." Vance repeatedly shook his head and refused. "I just made a special trip to return this vinyl record."
Vance still stood at the door, handed the vinyl record in his hand to Lu Ke, and then explained, "The last time I came here as a guest, I borrowed it from your father, but I forgot to return it. Yesterday night, my little The daughter and the younger son were making trouble together, and they almost knocked down the entire bookshelf. The little guys had no way to quiet down. Before they completely damage Jack ’s collection, I ’d better return as soon as possible. "
Lu Ke took over the vinyl record and said with a smile, "Don't worry, these are not out-of-print collections. Friends appreciate and share with each other. This is the best way to realize the value of the record. I believe I Father must be very happy, you can like this vinyl record. "
"I do like it very much. Jack's music taste is very good, and the previous Chinese songs are also very tasty. Did you know? I watched a lot of fragrant / Hong Kong / movies when I was a kid. These music can always awaken those good memories." Vance's words brightened Lu Ke's eyes slightly.
Then Lu Ke smiled his jaw gently, he could imagine that Lu Zhengji and Vance's conversation must have many common topics. "Sorry, the experience I can share about music and movies is really limited. But as a kid, my father often played these songs at home. For me, this is the background music of childhood memories."
"Yes, yes. I have forgotten, your childhood must have been spent on the training ground." Vance said suddenly.
"Vance?" There was a call from behind, as well as the sound of the engine stalling. Lu Ke and Vance both turned around, and then you could see Lu Zhengzheng, who was getting off the car, with an unexpected look on his face. , "Why did you come here, why didn't you call in advance? If I'm not at home, it's too rude."
"Just come here to try your luck." Vance pointed to the vinyl record in Lu Ke's hand, and Lu Ke also shook his vinyl record at the same time, cooperating with the gesture, "If you and Anne are not at home, I will take it Put it on the window sill and if I stay at home, I do n’t know when it will be completely damaged. "
Lu Zhengzheng quickly walked up, "Xiao Ke, why don't you invite guests into it? It's not polite." This sentence was spoken in Chinese, then switched to English, and said to Vance, "Go into the lobby Sit down and talk, stand at the door and talk. This is not the hospitality of China / China. I think it should not be the hospitality of the United States? "
Vance spread his hands, "I know, you told me that when a guest visits, he must invite the guest to drink a cup of tea. This is the etiquette of your hometown. I originally wanted to let go and left, but now you are caught , I can only accept it with pleasure. "
Lu Ke took the lead into the house, went straight to the first-floor study, and placed vinyl records on the bookshelf; then came to the kitchen and began to boil water and prepare tea; then came to the hall again Scattered things are sorted out and ready to welcome guests.
Lifting his head, Lu Ke noticed Vance's slightly surprised expression, and he responded with a smile.
On the candlestick court, he was the starting quarterback who led the team to victory; and in his parents' home, he was a son who had worked shortly after graduating from college.
Although Lu Ke has limited opportunities to go home now, as long as he comes back, he will still do his housework properly, helping to move heavy objects, helping to deal with garbage, helping to take care of the backyard, helping entertain guests, etc. .
Staying on the ground and chatting with Vance in the lobby, Lu Ke became busy.
It did n’t take long for Jiang Youning to return with a large bag and a small bag. Lu Ke quickly went outside and helped unload the goods from the rear compartment of the car. Austin and Tiffany across the street also came to help. In a blink of an eye, the Lujia Hall became warm And the lively, a small family party is in progress.
Between the trivial chat clips and Jiang Youning's supplements, Lu Ke gradually learned about the process of meeting Lu Zhengzheng and Vance.
The two actually work in the same area. About a month ago, when Lu Zhengzheng went out for dinner during his work lunch, because the nearby tables were already full, Vance accidentally worked with him on the table. The two had a short greeting and Conversation; Soon after, Vance ’s car broke down, and his phone was out of power. Lu Zheng was passing by, and he called the road rescue team.
Between two visits, the two met each other in this way. Later, during a business lunch, I occasionally met unexpectedly, and sometimes the two would sit down and eat together, gradually becoming so familiar. In particular, I was surprised to learn that Vance has a special hobby for old movies, including Hong Kong / Hong Kong movies in the 1980s, and Lu Zhengze couldn't help being excited, which became a common topic among them.
Last week, the Jacobs and his wife sent an invitation to let Lu Zhengzheng and Jiang Youning visit their home, and Vance ’s wife personally served them to entertain them; last week, Lu Zhengzheng and Jiang Youning invited Jacobs to reciprocate The couple came to visit, and they also enjoyed Lu Zhengzheng's vinyl record collection.
That vinyl record was borrowed by Vance at that time.
Originally, today was Lu Ke's special trip home to visit his parents, but unexpectedly deviated from the original track. Lu Zhengzheng and Jiang Youning warmly entertained Vance, Austin and Tiffany to stay for dinner-China / China / The hospitality of people is still hidden in their bloodstream, so a family party has evolved into a small party.
Lu Ke has always been rushing in and out for Jiang Youning. In order to prepare a dinner, he has been really busy for a long time.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly in an orderly manner, and finally ended successfully. The table full of precious food was completely wiped out, and even a bottle of wine was even drunk. Of course, Lu Ke did not drink because tomorrow still needs to get up early to train He can only use tea instead of wine to make up for the fun.
At the end of dinner, the night was dark, and it was almost eleven o'clock.
Austin and Tiffany lived across the street, and it was natural and convenient to go home; but Vance was not easy.
He drove by himself in the afternoon, and it was inconvenient to drive after drinking. This is a basic principle that everyone knows. Vance is going to call a taxi to go home, while his car stays here. He will come again tomorrow and drive away.
In response, Lu Zhengzheng and Jiang Youning felt embarrassed.
Lu Ke proactively issued a proposal, "I will Vance home, and then I will take a taxi back." Vance also wanted to refuse, but Lu Ke said with a smile, "This is our hospitality. First, make sure that the guests return home properly. This is also the intention of the host. "
Upon seeing this, Vance did not continue to refuse, "Then I would like to express my gratitude first."
When Lu Ke and Vance got into the car and drove away slowly, he said with a smile, "Mr. Jacobs, if I am not wrong, should you ask me something?"
