V1.Chapter 1347

Xia Xiaolan hung up the phone and was in a trance.

However, as Tang Hongen judged, there are too many things waiting for her to do in the United States, and she doesn't have much time to tangle her feelings. If you are unfamiliar with Zhou Cheng, let it go first and solve it when she and Zhou Cheng are free.

She is really busy today.

When her family came back and had breakfast, winmanny was going back to New York. Professor Wen disagreed:

"You should take Xiaolan to get familiar with Ithaca. Can't you give up your work for a day? Law firms can run without anyone. "

Wen Manni looked over and Xia Xiaolan quickly waved her hand: "no, I have feet and a mouth. I can do those things myself. I'm an adult!"

She just went abroad for the first time in her life.

With a mouth asking for directions and no language barrier, Xia Xiaolan felt she didn't need to waste other people's time.

She has the experience of independent life, not a giant baby!

Winmanny seemed relieved, too.

She still values her work.

Before leaving, Wen Manny gave Xia Xiaolan a business card:

"If you encounter something difficult to deal with, you can call me and ask questions for free“

Lawyers are very useful in the United States. It is more difficult for reliable lawyers who are not cheating. In addition, they can consult questions free of charge. Wen Manny is really as cold outside and hot inside as Xia Xiaolan judged.

Xia Xiaolan is a little girl in each other's eyes. She hasn't graduated from college and isn't mature enough.

Xia Xiaolan accepted the other party's kindness. "Connie, I may really need your help. When I handle the things at school, can I have a long talk with you?"

When she first arrived in the United States, she met a lawyer. Xia Xiaolan thought it was a good start.

She must go to San Francisco herself, but before that, she can also ask a lawyer for help.

Lawyers are sometimes more effective than the police in finding people.

She won't let winmani waste her time. She must pay for it.

Wenmani thought it was about getting her driver's license or buying a car. She nodded at will and drove back to New York.

Hu Ying came out of the house. "You're going to report at school today, aren't you?"

"Yes, aunt Hu, I want to report to the school and visit the town again. I want to live here for another year. I always have to get familiar with Ithaca. "

She can't be cheeky to live in Wen's family. Does she still depend on Wen's family?

Always know where to shop. If she doesn't pay the rent, she can share other daily necessities. Xia Xiaolan had two meals at Wen's house. Wen's family immigrated for a long time. Dinner and breakfast are very American. Xia Xiaolan probably knows what ingredients to buy every day.

Professor Wen is still recuperating and doesn't have to go to work.

Hu Ying has to take care of him and can't drive Xia Xiaolan.

Fortunately, the Wen family still has two idle bicycles. Xia Xiaolan can ride to school. The largest building complex in Ithaca town is Cornell University, and Xia Xiaolan can't get lost.

This year, Cornell's spring enrollment time is January 15 in the United States. It was too late for Xia Xiaolan to report today, but she is an exchange student. The university is allowed to report before February 18 - it is also the arrangement of the Ministry of education to accommodate most students when going abroad. Most universities in the United States are enrolled in February, which is just right at this time.

Professor Wen should have taken her to school. Mao Kangshan didn't know that Professor Wen had only been seriously ill recently.

Xia Xiaolan rode out and looked at the environment of the town. The infrastructure here is very good. It will take about 20 years for China to catch up.

However, after this growth period, the growth rate of the U.S. economy slowed down. China later attracted the attention of the world. That is, the economic growth rate is very strong.

She rode all the way to the University. The school was so big that she asked for directions by mouth.

After tossing around all morning, I finished the formalities.

She got a class schedule, which classes she needed to take at a glance.

I bought the textbook myself.

The Ministry of education did not include this part of the expenses. The clerk kindly told Xia Xiaolan that she could buy used books:

"Can save you a lot of money!"

Chinese students?

It doesn't seem very rich.

This person is really a kind reminder, because college textbooks are really not cheap in the United States!

The teaching materials are extremely inconsistent. What should each professor say? The teaching materials designated by him are monopolized by a publisher. The publisher sets its own price and does not buy or find similar alternative teaching materials? Don't dream. No one dares to risk his grades. If the professor specifies a textbook, he will also leave homework from the textbook!

And the alternative teaching materials found may not be cheap, which may be designated by professors in other universities.

The second-hand book market came into being naturally. Students who have studied a certain course sell their teaching materials. If they want to save money, they can buy them.

But publishers are not stupid. They keep printing new editions in order to protect their own interests.

In each new edition, the charts have changed, the page numbers have been disrupted, and the homework questions have been updated. It is very troublesome to compare the old and new textbooks.

Xia Xiaolan didn't bother to spend this effort and directly spent money on new books.

There is a bookstore in the school, where you can buy most of the books in the timetable. There will be three or four books for a course, which add up to a lot. Professional books are thick and expensive, and it cost Xia Xiaolan more than 700 dollars... That is, she can bear it at will. If she studies abroad at ordinary public expense, the state pays tuition fees. She usually lives on scholarships and odd jobs. More than 700 dollars is really painful.

This is really not a small sum of money. Hu Ying was afraid that Xia Xiaolan couldn't figure out the price here when she came to the United States, so she specially told her some expenses.

For example, Professor Hu Ying and Professor Wen live together. Their living expenses for a week are about $70-80, which is the cost of buying food for two people for a week.

Xia Xiaolan buys books for one semester, and Professor Wen and his wife can pay for 10 weeks of food!

If it is not intuitive enough, how many textbooks will you buy if you convert it into Chinese currency, even if it is close to 3000 Chinese currency at the official exchange rate of 3.45?

It's expensive in China, okay? Xia Xiaolan once spent more than 10000, but she donated a lot of books to Anqing No. 1 middle school library!

"It's OK to study at public expense. Those who study at their own expense can't apply for a scholarship. I really don't know how to live in the United States..."

Xia Xiaolan muttered that the high value of knowledge is particularly obvious in the United States. The money for teaching materials can almost buy a second-hand car.

She had been riding well and suddenly squeezed the brake.

I saw an old acquaintance on the first day!

Ning Xue held the book and talked with several white students all the way. She reported according to the normal opening time of the spring semester and has been majoring in architecture at Cornell University for a month.

Xia Xiaolan is still like a headless fly. Ning Xue has obviously adapted to the life of Cornell University.

She looked up and saw Xia Xiaolan.

He smiled at Xia Xiaolan and didn't come over to greet him. He turned his head and continued to talk to the white students around him.

——Yo, Ning Xue, did you step on the land?
