Chapter 154: The future is safe and sound
The sun rose slowly, the sky was covered with red clouds, and the beautiful scenery of Baiyun Mountain was really pleasing to the eyes, not to mention that Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan were both very good-looking. Two other couples came behind to watch the sunrise, but they were so attracted by these two people that they couldn't take their eyes off them.
Chen Jintao also slowly leaned her head on Huo Beichuan's arm. Although neither of them spoke, their hearts were so close at this moment, so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeat.
"Huo Beichuan, I'm glad to be with you. I'm glad you're willing to accompany me to do everything I like."
Shen Jintao suddenly whispered.
Huo Beichuan just felt a little distressed, so he took her into his arms and said softly, "No matter what you want to do, I will support you unconditionally. If I have time, I am willing to stay by your side. Wife, I don't know what you went through in your last life, and how much suffering you had, but you are mine in this life, and I will not let you suffer any grievances."
Hearing the man's words that sounded almost like a confession, the corners of Shen Jintao's mouth slowly curled up.
Two couples not far away saw their actions and followed suit. The girls leaned on their partners' shoulders or arms.
Time passed minute by minute until the sun rose completely, and then the two of them staggered down the mountain. They were not in a hurry when they went down the mountain. They both walked slowly so that they could appreciate the scenery of Baiyun Mountain.
It was already noon when they came down the mountain. In the morning, each of them ate two buns. Actually... Chen Jintao only ate one, and the remaining three were eaten by Huo Beichuan. The main reason was that the buns at that time were too big, and Chen Jintao was full after eating one.
But even if they had eaten a full meal in the morning, they still felt very tired and hungry after going up and down the mountain. The two of them went directly to the restaurant and ordered a few signature dishes, which they ate up completely. Even Chen Jintao ate half a bowl of rice more than usual. Huo Beichuan was very pleased. After all, his wife usually had the same appetite as a kitten and ate very little at every meal.
"Wifey, shall I take you to the customs this afternoon?" Huo Beichuan also knew what his wife was most interested in, and decided to cater to her preferences.
"Is it really possible?" Shen Jintao was a little surprised. Customs is not a place that anyone can visit.
"Well, I can take you there, but we can only watch from a distance."
Huo Beichuan always carries his officer's certificate with him, but if he just wants to take a look from a distance, the customs won't say anything. After all, Huo Beichuan's position is there. Besides, his officer's certificate also lists his achievements. Doesn't that make people admire him even more?
As expected, the customs department really said that they could view from a distance. Although they couldn't get close, they could still see many things clearly.
Huo Beichuan felt a little uncomfortable as he watched box after box of foreign goods being unloaded from the huge cruise ship.
"Wife, do you think foreign things are really that good? Our country is not bad either, why do people admire foreign things so much?"
"In this era, we can't blame everyone for thinking that foreign things are better. Our industry and technology are not as developed as those in foreign countries, but we don't have to worry about it, because our country will be that powerful sooner or later. When that time comes, our people will no longer be blatantly discriminated against when they go abroad. There are even many countries that welcome our people to visit them. Even the most ordinary people in China will be treated preferentially in those countries. This is the strength of our country."
"Even in adversity, I will never complain, but will choose to work hard to catch up with countries that are stronger than me, and have a safe future. It's great!"
Hearing his wife say this, Huo Beichuan seemed to see tall buildings appearing in front of him, and all kinds of goods could be bought and sold at will. Everyone had a mobile phone in their hands that could be used to make calls or video calls with people thousands of miles away...
What kind of scene would that be? Even Huo Beichuan was looking forward to it, hoping that his country could really become like that. In that way, the Chinese people would never be bullied again.
"In our country, can these things only be bought in overseas Chinese stores?"
Shen Jintao quickly changed the subject.
"Well... most of them are like this, but even the customs can't control everyone under their control. There are also those who will take advantage of it. I guess you can buy some foreign goods on the black market here, but the quantity shouldn't be too large."
Huo Beichuan analyzed it.
Chen Jintao nodded, "Brother Chuan, I also want to do business in the future. I want to sell my own products abroad. I also want to open a restaurant, and eventually open restaurants all over the country..."
"You can do whatever you want." Huo Beichuan smiled indulgently.
Chen Jintao was very satisfied with the man's answer. A staff member came over and showed them around. Chen Jintao even felt that she looked a bit like a senior official who came to check on the work.
Huo Beichuan demonstrated through his own actions what it meant that you can do anything you want, but that is a story for later.
The couple visited some tourist attractions in Guangzhou that became famous in later generations, but the more they visited, the more boring they found it, so they started to go on a shopping spree.
"Wife, I think this is great. If I'm not at home in the winter, you and mom won't be cold. This is great! I just don't know if I can get it to work!"
On the third day after arriving in Guangzhou, the two came to the largest department store in Guangzhou. As soon as they entered the store, they saw a lot of people and things. The merchandise was dazzling. If they walked around aimlessly, it would take a long time.
Because there was basically everything in the house, except for some local specialties that were not available in his hometown, there didn't seem to be much else, until he saw the place selling home appliances, Huo Beichuan couldn't move his feet.
There is actually a three-wheeler and one-whirlpool at home, but compared with the washing machine and TV in front of him, those things seem a bit childish. Huo Beichuan likes this washing machine in particular very much and wants to buy it directly and use it in the army. Of course, if possible, he even hopes to get a washing machine for his hometown.
Huo Beichuan didn't know much about women's affairs before. After he married Shen Jintao, he realized that girls have pain once a month. If they don't protect themselves and catch a cold during this period, they have to be extra careful every time they have sex thereafter.
Liu Guifen often said that women must not eat or touch cold food during their menstrual period, otherwise they will suffer when they are old.
