Pittsburgh
Halloween has passed, but the joyous atmosphere in the neighborhood continues.A series of important holidays such as Christmas Eve and Christmas are coming soon.
The roadside shops are decorated in advance to welcome these important festivals.These colorful lights contrast with the snow that fell yesterday.
There is occasional snow in Pittsburgh, but it is not too big, similar to Hao Yunli's hometown.
————————
Stepping on the thin snow, Hao Yunli returned to the apartment with vegetables and beef bought from the supermarket.
In the past few days, the pace of work in the laboratory has also slowed down, so she left early to prepare more delicious food.
Tian Ru, the girl who lives with her, is also from China.Because they are thousands of miles away from their hometown, they also call each other as fellow villagers.The apartment I live in is not cheap due to its proximity to the school.Two people renting together is considered to share the cost.
In Pittsburgh, everything is fine.The temperature here is not too high, similar to Hao Yunli's hometown.The housing conditions here are also very good, with indoor heating, which is more comfortable than home.
The only thing that made her a little uncomfortable was her diet.Fast food is popular here in the United States, and one serving is so big.This is expensive and not worthwhile for her petite body.
Fortunately, the ingredients here are very cheap. Compared with her scholarships and allowances, they are cheap.
Hao Yunli received a full scholarship and an assistant's subsidy in the laboratory. The funds are very abundant. Even if the rent is removed, there is still a lot left.
She and her fellow villagers took turns cooking together.Saving some is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also troublesome.Neither person has a car, so it is not very convenient to go out for dinner.
In the past two months, Hao Yunli saved a lot of money and prepared to buy a second-hand car after the Spring Festival.Used cars are very cheap, you can get one for a few hundred yuan.When driving for the first time, just get an anti-made one.

Hao Yunli's mood is exceptionally good today.
Because I feel comfortable, even the worry of cooking in the past is not a burden.She was cooking and humming a song.
Time flies quickly, and when Tian Ru comes back, three dishes and one soup are ready.
————————
"Huh, why is it so rich today?"
As soon as he entered the house, Tian Ru found that the dining table had been set, with an open bottle of red wine and two goblets on the table.
Tian Ru will have to graduate next summer and has been worrying about the thesis recently.
For professional reasons, it is too difficult for her to write a paper.Seeing the essays written by her fellow villagers one by one, she was extremely envious.
In addition, Tian Ru only has scholarships in life, and his life is very tight.Fortunately, there are some sponsorships at home, so that she will not fall into the situation of washing dishes.
Of course, Tian Ru also has an advantage to be proud of, that is, her green card has been obtained.Because of the turmoil a year ago, their group of people generally got green cards.
But the green card, this young fellow doesn't care at all.Wherever the strong go, they will be respected.

"A friend published a paper and I was celebrating for him."
As a result of drinking, Hao Yunli's cheeks became slightly red.She has been drinking herself for a while.
"Friends? What about people?"
Tian Ru was taken aback, and hurriedly looked around, but he did not see any trace of the visitor.
"Others are still at home."
Hao Yunli explained to her companion, and raised the cup in her hand again, inviting to the bright moon outside the window.
"Congratulations!"
