Christmas gift

Bright phearl

Go back to the motherland already a year many, however every time christmas comes, that pair of ablaze big eyes meet Japanese girl gold emerge at the moment in mine. At this moment, she appears genuflect sits on couch couch rice, look into the distance wears China is asking me: “が of す of で of aperture さ ん , vigour. ” (alveolus, how do you do)

I cannot forget lovely, pure gold girl, cannot forget the night of that exotic Christmas.

I am read as companion, stayed two years in Tokyo along with the husband, because life ground is not familiar, japanese bad, carry tray in Japanese arrange inn from beginning to end. Gold girl is 21 years old, it is the employee of a photo studio. Her have delicate features, special court person loves. Gold has a good friend to also carry dish to work in our inn by the United States really, every time she two crowded do not give time to say a private words, make an appointment to come arrange store for company works. Often gold becomes a visitor, cross one’s legs sits on couch couch rice, a bottle of Japan clear wine is put on the desk, two small cups. Move back and forth in inn hall to work by the United States really, one be free sneaks away before gold word of say a few words, “Zhi is smooth ” a wine. Gold smilingly the ground, looking at our busy back, often encourage me this novice path: “ね of て of っ of ぱ of aperture さ ん , が ん ! ” (alveolus, cheer dry)

Christmas is about, on Tokyo street immediately lively all the more rise, colourful New Year gift is so inviting. Japanese youth goes into the street in succession purchase, prepare the night in the Christmas to let friends eat one Jing. And I and husband however whats don’t have preparation, the ト of ィ of ア ル バ of the night because of the Christmas (work) be not us these poor student studying abroads not are belonged to.

That day, the station looks at elated guests in inn hall eye, I how glad also to do not rise, because work,not be tired, sigh with emotion however oneself lead a wandering life foreign land, santa Claus already did not know me certainly.

Busy all the time to in the evening at 11 o’clock half, we just sit to eat the dinner of boss award. As a result of that evening the business is too good, dish sells entirely almost. The proprietress feels compunctious it seems that, go buying a bottle of cheap wine to celebrate a festival for us in adjoining hotel. Speak buoyantly when her ” merry christmas ” when, I am looking at what fastening on him body to surround meal of the dull on sheet and desk, tear is hit in orbit come around.

I remember the night of the Christmas of in former years, we are in Shanghai home the Christmas evening party in is how lively. Friend of my writer, singer recites poems Gao Ge, our child plays piano music of Mozart, everybody performs program each other to give gift mirth sound voice, be in ” restful night ” the ding that New Year greets in singing. Now day, at the moment, far the daughter that is in China is certain already disappointed go off, there is tear stains on the face, and the handicraft work that her father perhaps has not dropped a hand to go up is in work overtime.

at this moment, gold girl is wrapping sliding door of a suit algidity to come in, the paper bag that she is choosing a color is rushing to say gladly by the United States really: “Merry christmas! ” cheer by the United States really, had received a gift to open look, it is the plush slipper of double thaw. I lower my head to have a meal, dare not carry soon they, feel gold girl was stupefied only, pulled open the door to go out again. Not a little while, gold hand held 3 carton that plunging into colored ribbon in both hands to come back again, before the Chinese that she walks along 3 to us to work, hand the gift one by one we, gently, like fooling the child, say: “Hey, merry christmas! Congratulant New Year! Congratulant New Year!!

The tear that the hold in mouth or eyes in my eye wears flowed not obediently eventually, I am holding the gift of this christmas only in both hands, resemble holding the benevolence of this not familiar Japan girl in both hands, I am so excited that I do not say to give a word to come. Say really, what is I care about what install in this box far from, even if cotton of a piece of paper, posse, and I got the night that important is the Christmas the love that is worth to cherish most between the world.

Be in Japan, anonymous lose often can upsurge in my heart, I ever suspected whether I am worth a few degrees. I and husband abandoned Shanghai’s superior work environment, parting the daughter reads in exotic an alien land struggle, we were paid so much, even if can save a bit money, whether be equal the implementation at our life value? And the thing that whether a person still has a lot of is worth that go after later in dress warmly and ear one’s fill?

Open the gift of gold, it is the toy of cylinder of a crystal, add up to pushbutton, lamplight of happy and harmonious spills over from the hut window of snowflake of a stack, facile and graceful is waving to asperse the ground to flying outside hut glittering and translucent snowflake. Be, a warm and stable home, a healthy motherland, not be us the dream that abroad boy far away from home looks forward to day and night? But in all fairness, what is there not to need to give the good work that can you get passing on on the world? Yes, a bit happier, cheer up, although already was winter, and to me, at present is cultivated season, and results stays wait for tomorrow!

Lovely gold girl became my friend from now on, I also abandoned gradually of psychology self-abased and new optimistic rise, we often sing together, go aquaria amuse oneself… in Japanese flash two years, I already returned China now, and the night of that Christmas lets foreign land however my for a long time cannot dismiss from one’s mind, the heart like that gold is in gold girl from beginning to end Yi of the Yi in my impression is unripe brightness.
