A letter from Ma Dawei to his girlfriend Xiaoyanzi Dear Xiaoyanzi: How are you? I miss you very much. On Wednesday I caught a cold, had a headache, a sore throat, and a slight fever. But I am fine now. I want to tell you something. Xiaoyanzi, I like you very much. I want you to come to see me often, listen to music and drink coffee with me. But the dormitory I live in is too small and inconvenient. I want to rent a house with a kitchen and a toilet, and the rent cannot be too expensive. I asked Songhua to help me find a house. On Saturday, Songhua and I went to Jiamei Rental Company together. We saw a house. The house was very good and big, with a kitchen and a toilet, but the rent was too expensive. Songhua called Lu Yuping and asked him what we should do. What a coincidence, the manager of Jiamei Rental Company is Lu Yuping's friend, and Lu Yuping asked him to help us. The manager was very enthusiastic and asked us to see many houses. I rented a very suitable house, and the rent was not too expensive. In the evening, we invited Lu Yuping and the manager to eat Peking duck. I am so happy. Xiaoyanzi, I want you to come and see my new house. You said, when is the right time? I am waiting for your reply. Your Dawei. |
