Chapter 423
When Little Pearl started attending kindergarten...
That year, Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun planned to go to the United States together to investigate the market.
The couple decided to go to the United States mainly because Ji Wanmei's clothing brand planned to expand its sales market overseas. In addition, not long ago, Ji Wanmei received an invitation to perform at a fashion week, hoping that she would go to visit and exchange ideas as the founder of a Chinese-style clothing brand.
It just so happens that Ji Wanmei's aunt and uncle now live abroad year-round. Apart from the last time they came back when Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun got married, they have rarely come back in recent years.
Ji Wanmei thought that she could take this opportunity to go abroad and visit her aunt's family.
Since both husband and wife are going, they certainly can't leave their daughter alone at home.
Although Ji Xingguo is now retired and has nothing to do at home, he can help pick up and drop off the children at kindergarten.
However, Ji Wanmei also wanted to take her daughter with her so that she could go out and see more of the world with her parents.
Little Pearl is four years old, and her intelligence and talent have been showing earlier than most children.
Ji Wanmei put a lot of effort into raising and educating her daughter.
I hope she grows up to be a modern girl with her own thoughts and insights.
Little Pearl, guided and influenced by such excellent parents from a young age, was different from other timid and cowardly little girls.
She is very brave, daring, and quick-witted, often coming up with wildly imaginative ideas that leave adults both amused and exasperated.
This time, when the family went abroad, Ji Xingguo said he was too old to travel and wasn't curious about foreign places, so he wouldn't go with them and let the three of them go on their own.
We did take into account that Ji Xingguo has high blood pressure and might not be able to adapt to the diet abroad.
However, Ji Wanmei felt that his main reason was probably that he didn't want to meet her aunt and uncle, preferring to stay at home and take care of his flowers and plants.
Fortunately, they have a nanny at home who can take care of their daily life, so even if Ji Wanmei and her family stay abroad for a week or two, they don't need to worry too much.
We bought plane tickets for our family of three well in advance and packed our luggage for this trip abroad.
Come to think of it, Lei Tingjun has never been on a plane, while Ji Wanmei certainly has in her past life.
Lei Tingjun was taking his wife and children abroad, and he made sure everything was in order. He had his secretary check the weather, the necessary procedures, and the passport application status well in advance.
They made meticulous preparations for going abroad.
Little Pearl was the most excited one. After learning from her parents that she was going to America with them, she told the other children in Yuelu Garden that she was going abroad to play, and she also talked about how she would bring back gifts for them when she got there.
This attracted a group of children who surrounded Little Pearl with envy, wanting to recognize her as their leader.
On the day of their flight departure, the driver took the family of three to East China Airport.
While still in the waiting hall, Little Pearl saw the planes on the tarmac outside through the large glass walls and excitedly exclaimed while sitting in her father's lap, "Daddy, look! Big planes!"
Ji Wanmei carried a film camera in her bag and said to Lei Tingjun, "This is our daughter's first time traveling abroad with us. When we get to the boarding gate, let's have someone take a picture of us."
Before Lei Tingjun could even speak, Little Pearl clapped her hands happily: "Great! I love taking pictures with Mommy and Daddy the most!"
She plans to take lots and lots of photos during her trip abroad, filling her entire personal photo album.
After boarding the plane, Little Pearl looked around curiously. "Mommy, so this is the inside of an airplane! It's amazing! How does it fly?"
Ji Wanmei patiently explained the principles of airplane flight to her daughter in the simplest way possible, and then said, "If Pearl is curious about aviation technology, she should study it seriously when she goes to school in the future."
"Any knowledge can be acquired through learning."
Little Pearl nodded: "Mommy, scientists and inventors are amazing!"
Lei Tingjun stood to the side, affectionately patting his daughter's clever little head.
Little Pearl was curious for a short while, then fell asleep on the plane.
The flight from China to the United States takes more than twenty hours, so not sleeping is not an option.
Fortunately, the service on the plane was quite good; not only were food provided free of charge, but also drinks and small towels.
This meant that Lei Tingjun, who originally thought he would need to prepare all these things himself, didn't need the items he had packed in his luggage.
However, he had heard that food from abroad wasn't as good as food from China, and he didn't know if that was true.
They had previously met several foreign businessmen at their partner company. They all looked quite overweight and said that since coming to China, the food here was so delicious that they had gained ten or twenty pounds.
Lei Tingjun even told Ji Wanmei about this as a strange tale.
Ji Wanmei said that when it comes to food, there are indeed few countries in the world that can compare with China.
After all, we have eight major cuisines here, and many of our food cultures have been passed down for thousands of years.
After thousands of years of elimination and selection by the people, how could it not taste good? If it didn't taste good, it would have been eliminated long ago.
After the plane landed in Los Angeles, USA, Ji Wanmei's aunt and uncle came to pick them up at the airport.
Seeing that Little Pearl is already four years old, the little girl was curious about everything after getting off the plane, jumping around excitedly, which was very cute.
Aunt Shi Manli looked at Little Pearl in surprise: "My grandniece has grown so much!"
