evening.
Su Huazhu met her uncle and cousin.
After having dinner at a large restaurant in the area, we took Uncle Su and his older cousin back to their hotel.
On the way home, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan talked about how Uncle Su wanted to take their whole family abroad.
“Your mother and I don’t plan to leave. Although this place is certainly not as economically developed, resource-rich, or convenient as the country in the past or present, things will only get better here in the future, and we don’t want to leave.”
“No matter how good the country is, it's not your own place. You're unfamiliar with the land and can't speak the language, so you're like a rootless duckweed. Your uncle and his family left because they were eager to go, not because the country was so great. Of course, if you want to leave, I have no objection.”
Qiao Jiuru told Su Huaiyuan about their thoughts and plans; if their children really wanted to go abroad, they wouldn't stop them.
Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan were surprised when Su Huazhu heard that her uncle was going to take them to the country, but she was also surprised when she heard that her parents had no plans to go to the country.
After the reform and opening up, they met many businessmen. They heard how great it was in China, living in villas, driving cars, eating meat and vegetables every day, and buying clothes casually and fashionably. They were not without envy, but despite their envy, they never thought about going abroad.
"Mom and Dad, if you don't go out, I won't go out either."
Su Huazhu always listened to her parents. She didn't want to go too far from home, and besides, listening to her parents was never a bad thing. This country is another country, someone else's territory. What kind of good treatment could a country like theirs possibly receive?!
"Yes, Mom and Dad, we'll listen to you."
Since her aunt said so, Zhou Wanwan naturally expressed her opinion. Although she was both surprised and delighted when she heard the news, and was very excited, she did have some thoughts for a moment.
However, her in-laws' words made it very clear to her that they had no intention of going abroad, did not care about the country, and had no plans to leave.
“If you have any ideas, you can speak up. Everyone has different thoughts and ideas.”
Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan are not the kind of domineering, controlling patriarchs. If Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan had such ideas, they would not stop them.
"Mom, we don't have any plans in that regard right now."
Su Ze finally came to his senses. If his parents didn't go out, he didn't want to go out either. Their family was doing well, unlike other families who were struggling.
Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan remained silent. In any case, they had no intention of leaving. If their son and daughter-in-law wanted to go, they wouldn't stop them.
"Although we don't plan to go abroad, your grandmother is still in the country. We plan to take you to visit her next summer vacation."
Grandma Su is over ninety years old, so it's not feasible to let her come back to see them. Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan discussed it and decided that they could wait until summer vacation, which has about two months of vacation, and then the whole family could fly over to visit her hometown.
While she and Su Huaiyuan were still young and in good health, they wanted to visit the old man whenever possible.
By the way, let the children see the world of 늌面, and see if the world of 늌面 is as good as they imagined.
Anyway, she and Su Huaiyuan didn't think it was a good place; they went to visit relatives and do some sightseeing on the side.
Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan were overjoyed when they heard that the family would be going to visit relatives in the country next summer vacation. They never expected that they would be able to go to the country so soon.
Meanwhile, in the hotel, Uncle Su was discussing this matter.
"Dad, I don't think Uncle and Aunt have any intention of going out with us."
Today, while at her uncle's house, Su Lin felt that her uncle and aunt's standard of living was not bad, and they were doing quite well.
"I know, but I still hope your cousins can go abroad. It's really not as good as being in the country here."
Uncle Su felt that the next generation should go out and explore the world, as he was not optimistic about the development of this area.
Furthermore, with my family's abilities, we only earn a few hundred dollars a month here. Back home, we could easily earn thousands of dollars. He felt this was unfair.
“Dad, if my cousins don’t want to go, we can’t force them.”
They wanted to take their relatives away, but the family didn't want to leave, and they tried to force them not to.
"Just now, your uncle and aunt told me that next summer vacation, they will take their family to visit your grandma in the country. When they go to the country and see how nice it is, they might want to stay and not leave."
This is why Uncle Su stopped trying to persuade his younger brother and his wife to get married; no matter how much he said, it was better to see for himself.
However, what Uncle Su didn't know was that no matter how good the country was right now, Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru had no such plans.
“Yes, let’s leave the money we brought back to your uncle and aunt first. Only when they have money can your grandmother and I put our minds at ease.”
Before returning to China, Uncle Su transferred a sum of money to a bank in Hong Kong. After arriving in Hong Kong, they withdrew a small portion of the money and then took a flight from Hong Kong to Beijing.
Today, they gave them a total of $12,000 as a meeting gift, and they still have more than $150,000 in cash on hand.
"Dad, get this done by noon tomorrow."
Su Linli wouldn't let go of his uncle and aunt, worried that their lives weren't as good as they seemed, and thought it would be better to give them money.
"As for the sponsorship for Peking University, make an overseas call back and ask Su Yang to wire $500,000 over."
Kyoto University is where his younger brother and sister-in-law have always studied, lived, and worked. Even Uncle Su, who grew up in Beijing, naturally has feelings for Kyoto University and is willing to sponsor it.
Su Lin wrote down her father's words one by one. Besides mainly looking for relatives, they also wanted to go back to their hometown to relieve their homesickness.
"Dad, about the invitation from here to come back and invest..."
"No rush, let's take a look first."
"good."
After the father and daughter finished explaining the situation, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, having accomplished their purpose of returning.
After Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan returned with their two children, they went straight to the fourth floor.
After Zhou Wanwan got home, she went to look at the four big red envelopes she had received at noon. After opening them, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Su Ze, come and see, your uncle and the others gave us US dollars."
That thick red envelope must have contained money, but I didn't expect it to be not the Great Unity, but US dollars.
Each bill has a face value of one hundred dollars, and there are twenty bills in a red envelope.
Su leaned closer to take a look and saw that there were indeed many colorful banknotes, which were clearly US dollars.
Finally, the couple counted their money together. The family of four received a total of $8,000, which is approximately 15,000 RMB.
"My uncle and his family are really rich."
Zhou Wanwan couldn't help but sigh, saying that the total amount of money she and her husband had saved over the years, plus the money they earned from their street stall, was just over ten thousand yuan, which was still less than the amount of money they received today.
