在安平的一个晚上
A night in Anping
安娜给朋友打了电话,告诉她自己在安平,没事。朋友听了,在电话里笑了很长时间。
老王说:“今天晚上就住我们家吧,你跟芳芳住一个房间。”安娜说:“太谢谢你们了!”
晚上,很多人来饭馆吃面,安娜也开始帮忙,给大家送面。车站的那位奶奶也来了。她看见安娜,笑着问:“你怎么还在这儿?”安娜说:“我在这儿上班了!”饭馆里的人都笑了。
第二天早上,老王和芳芳送安娜去车站。安娜拿出手机,要给老王钱,但是老王说什么也不要。他说:“你真想给,就下个月再来,跟芳芳说说外国的事情。”芳芳在旁边说:“姐姐,下个月你要来啊!”
火车开了。安娜想起来,她还是没有去天河。但是她觉得,这是她在中国最快乐的两天。
