HSK 2Chapter 4 of 4266 characters
每个月的星期六
One Saturday a month
从那个星期六开始,安娜每个月都坐火车去安平。这一次,她没有坐错车。
每次去,她都跟芳芳说外国的事情,也帮她准备考试。老王教安娜做面。开始的时候,安娜做的面不太好吃。老王吃了一口,想了想,说:“这个……很有意思的面。”但是半年过去,她做的面已经很好吃了。有的人还问老王:“这是你家的外国女儿吗?”
一年过去了。芳芳考试考得很好,明年就要出国上大学了。老王虽然有点儿不想让她走,但是他比谁都高兴。
一个星期六的上午,安娜在安平下了车。她看见车站门口站着一个外国男孩儿,手里拿着手机,不知道去哪儿。安娜走过去问:“你好,你坐错车了吧?手机也没电了?”男孩儿看着她:“你……你怎么知道?”安娜笑了:“没关系,你跟我来。我知道一家饭馆,那儿的面最好吃。”
