September of 1984.
In a foreign country, Zhou Jiao meets Miao Tianming again who comes to pick her up at the airport.
"sister."
Zhou Jiao blinked in surprise.
Miao Tianming laughed heartily. Distance couldn't change his familiarity with her. No matter how much she disguised her appearance, she was still his fairy sister.
"Sister, this is your future sister-in-law, Mi Anqi." Miao Tianming pointed to the girl next to him, "Anqi, this is my sister Miao Xiaoqiao, dear."
Mi Anqi stepped forward and gave her a hug, "Sister Xiao Qiao, nice to meet you."
"Me too. He finally found a wife. Please be more tolerant of him in the future." Zhou Jiao said this from the heart. If her brother didn't find a wife, she would suspect that he was determined to be single.
Miao Tianming gestured to the bodyguard beside him to collect the luggage, nodded to the few people not far behind Zhou Jiao, and looked around hesitantly.
Soon, he noticed a tall man walking slowly towards him.
He waved to Liuyi, feeling a bit regretful that Wuyi didn't come to the scene to pick him up, otherwise the kid would have been screaming.
"Let's go back to the hotel and talk."
Sitting in the car, Zhou Jiao looked at the bustling urban area from afar. What she saw with her naked eyes did give her a hazy and elusive sense of the future.
In the 1980s at the end of the Showa era, the country's economy was indeed not to be ignored. No wonder its self-confidence swelled to the point where it claimed to buy the entire United States.
No matter how much she resists it in her heart, when faced with the visual impact, most people will be dizzy and shocked by this overwhelming prosperity.
"Sister, is everything going well? Once you're settled, I'll take you to Ginza, where it's even more prosperous."
Zhou Jiao nodded silently.
If you ignore the pedestrians in kimonos and the ghostly pictures in Chinese on the billboards along the way, you really won’t feel like you are in a foreign country.
"Sister Xiao Qiao, don't listen to him. It's actually only better in the city. It's not that good in the countryside. The security here is even worse than back home."
"Are you back home?"
"Well, my grandfather took me back in 1980, and my eldest brother and I went back again in 1982. Our country will not be inferior to this country in the future."
Hearing Mi Anqi's words, Zhou Jiao glanced at Miao Tianming approvingly. As a Chinese immigrant living overseas, he had this understanding. It was true. Just based on this bit of patriotism, his brother had not misjudged him!
"Have you been to the capital? I'll pick you up next time I come back."
"Okay! Not only Beijing, I've been to many places during my two trips back home. My hometown is Hai City. My grandfather went to Southeast Asia in the early 1940s, and later married my grandmother and settled abroad.
My grandfather is still in Beijing. His family has a beautiful courtyard house near Qianmen. I also have several aunts, and they are all very nice..."
Listening to the girl's story slowly, Zhou Jiao did not ask for the detailed address and name.
——She had to sigh that Beijing was really small, and since she was surnamed Mi, she had a premonition that her identity would be exposed if she wasn't careful.
In the hotel, the mother and her two children were delighted to see each other. They didn't have time to huddle together to express their feelings. After arranging the arrangements for the others to go back to their rooms and wash up, it was time for dinner.
After the so-called welcoming banquet, it was already late when we left. Under the lights and feasting, this country was prosperous again.
As they had to go back to reunite with his companions on May Day, the mother and her two children gave up the idea of shopping and asked Miao Tianming and his wife to entertain Hu Xiaohui and the others.
Compared to her youngest son's personal feelings, Zhou Jiao wanted to understand his views on the current situation more. "Xiaobao, you have been here for a while. How do you feel?"
"I have to say, we lost a lot."
Looking at the bright lights outside the window, Zhou Jiao sighed, "Yes, we stopped for ten years. We lost a lot in economy and culture."
Even if the ensuing economic crisis sets the country back twenty years, how many years will it take for it to catch up in the future?
"Mom, this isn't like you. How can you boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? Seriously, our country isn't going to stop for ten years, it's going to stop for a hundred years."
"How many years has the United States been established? And we, a country that was completely plundered, have now begun to revive."
"As long as we have capital and talent, what does this current prosperity matter? In the future, our motherland will surely become a world power."
"Now the whole world has seen the awakening of the dragon. One day, Chinese people will be able to stand in every corner of the world, hold their heads high and proudly declare that they are Chinese."
Whenever Wuyi thought of the foreigners he met in the past, he would first ask himself if he was Japanese, and he was always filled with anger.
Damn it, it seems like this country is the only great one in Asia.
Just these short legs, I hate that I was born at the wrong time, how could I be born decades too late! And those yellow-haired monsters that Geng girl mentioned.
One day, I will settle the score with you regarding the Eight-Nation Alliance.
"Hey, the lab here is pretty good." Wuyi gave Liuyi a sly grin. "I heard a rumor that DRAM technology is nearing its end."
Zhou Jiao's eyes lit up when she heard that.
Isn't it? In the previous life, DRAM technology was first invented by the Japanese, then sold to the United States. Intel, which acquired this technology, has since entered a period of rapid development.
Similarly, the Japanese also had an absolute advantage in the electronics industry because they mastered this technology.
Liuyi blinked in understanding and changed the subject, "When do you and your group plan to leave?"
"They won't leave until school starts."
Liuyi pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "Then just go and have fun. I'll contact you if anything happens."
"Second, you don't want to play with me again."
Liuyi kicked him, "What the hell are you doing? Seriously."
Wuyi jumped up and rushed to Zhou Jiao's side, "Mom, my brother hit me."
Zhou Jiao slapped him in amusement, "Alright, stop teasing your little brother. It will be inconvenient for you to contact me from now on. Tell Mom about the situation here."
Wu Yiyi put his arm around her neck and said with a cheerful smile, "Okay, mother."
Even though his mother didn't mention it, Wuyi was planning to have a good talk with them.
For example, regarding public security, although this area is prosperous, gangs are in control behind the scenes, especially outside the downtown area, where the situation is even more chaotic.
If you have nothing to do at night, it’s better to stay out of the house.
Another example is going out shopping.
It's best to go to Ginza and avoid the black market. Some people specialize in ripping off the rich, and they're organized gangs.
Especially the second-hand market is even more frustrating.
Who knows where those second-hand clothes and appliances are collected from? If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Especially those who came with his mother.
Another example is some places that are not suitable for children.
His aunt Hu Xiaohui is the one who loves to join in the fun, and she even aroused his mother's curiosity and wanted to go and see for herself.
Zhou Jiao stared blankly at her youngest son, who was chattering non-stop. She finally swallowed her urge to pry into his emotional issues. What if this distracted her? What could be more important than her son's safety?
