With a beaming smile and expectant eyes, Song Qingling looked at her eldest sister and said happily, "Big sister, if you really decide to settle down in Hong Kong, then the number of times we sisters get together will definitely increase greatly!"
However, Song Meiling did not agree with her sister's statement. She looked worried and retorted, "Hong Kong and the mainland are like two completely different worlds now, so far apart. It's not so easy to meet up."
Upon hearing these words, Song Qingling's initial joy vanished instantly, and her face turned gloomy.
After all, what his sister said was right; otherwise, Song Jingwei's family wouldn't have moved from the mainland to Hong Kong to settle down.
Song Qingling sighed softly, "Yes, the situation is turbulent now, so it's really not easy for us to meet."
Her gaze fell into the distance, as if she could see the future through time and space.
However, no matter how far apart they are, that deep and profound family affection is as solid as a rock and will never be shaken by the distance of time and space.
Song Qingling said firmly, "Even though we are far apart, we can still maintain this emotional bond through letters."
Song Meiling nodded slightly in agreement, a tear welling up in her eyes as she murmured softly, "I hope everything goes as I wish..."
Only Song Ziqing's family knew that even these seemingly simple correspondences were actually facing numerous difficulties.
Moreover, this approach is likely to bring many unexpected troubles and consequences to Song Qingling, who remains in mainland China.
After all, there are still more than a decade before the mainland implements reform and opening up. In such a long period of time, if the Song sisters do not take good care of their health, then a reunion may become a distant and unattainable dream.
However, she could not say these words aloud; she could only keep them buried in her heart and sigh inwardly.
"Otherwise, I'll accompany you to Hong Kong for a visit. Even if you want to settle down somewhere else, we can live in Hong Kong for a while first, and then talk about settling down."
Stillness breeds restlessness, and Song Zhiwen's heart was stirred.
After hearing Song Ailing's words, Song Zhiwen also had different thoughts.
He didn't particularly like America either, since most of the people around him were white, and people of Asian descent like them were looked down upon there.
His descendants will not receive fair treatment in the United States, whether they pursue politics or business.
Even if you still encounter these problems after going to Hong Kong, the majority of the population is Chinese, and with more people, there is more power.
Song Zhiwen's idea was supported by his family, and the family began to plan their trip to Hong Kong.
However, since the Song family had just arrived in the United States, they still planned to take them sightseeing in the US for a while first.
It was summer vacation, and New York City was at its most beautiful during this season.
The next day, after breakfast, Song Ziqing and his family got into Song Zhiwen's nanny van and headed towards Times Square in New York with their parents and children.
At this time, Times Square in New York was filled with towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, truly a scene of unparalleled prosperity.
This city looks exactly like a modern city. Apart from not having cell phones, it's no different from cities after the new millennium.
The vehicle drove smoothly on the road, and Song Ziqing and his family enjoyed the scenery outside the window.
"Wow, it's so lively here!" Song Ziqing exclaimed.
This city feels more international than Hong Kong; it's definitely a developed country, and it looks quite different from other cities.
It was only the 1960s, yet New York City was already so developed. Song Ziqing felt as if he had traveled through time and returned to his past life.
"Yes, Times Square in New York is one of the world's most famous commercial centers."
Lin Chengyu said with a smile, and then said to Song Ziqing, "We will also buy a few shops here in New York. In the future, our group's jewelry, clothing, various foods and so on can be sold here."
Seeing that his son-in-law couldn't forget about work even while shopping, Song Jingwei said helplessly, "Chengyu, you're still too concerned about business. Our purpose today is just to go shopping; you're not allowed to talk about anything else."
"Okay, Dad, I'll listen to you. I'll spend as much time as possible with you all in America."
Lin Chengyu also realized that it was a bit of a downer to talk about work while his family was resting.
The group got off the car and strolled among the bustling crowd. Huge electronic screens displayed various advertisements and news, and colorful neon lights illuminated the entire square.
Although Song Jingwei and his wife were time travelers, they lived in mainland China for a few months before going to Myanmar and then to Hong Kong.
They had seen quite a lot, but after coming to the United States, they realized that the inland cities they lived in during the new millennium could not compare to New York in the 1960s.
The comparison is truly terrifying.
These Americans live such good living conditions; it feels like there are so many cars and people coming and going on the streets.
The family got out of the car right next to Times Square, arranged a time for the driver to pick them up, and then let him drive away.
As soon as she got off the car and arrived at the square, Zhang Lihua took out her camera from her bag and started snapping pictures of the surrounding scenery as if film were free.
Lin Chengyu and Song Ziqing held their children on either side, letting them experience the prosperity and vitality of this unfamiliar country.
“Honey, this place is full of opportunities and challenges. Perhaps we can find broader prospects for development here. We can also study abroad in the United States in the future.”
Song Ziqing, however, didn't seem to care much about her husband discussing their business while they were having fun.
After all, their investments were joint property, and the better the business performed, the greater her gains would be.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, bringing a touch of coolness.
Song Jingwei looked at the sky and said, "It looks like it's going to rain. Let's find somewhere to take shelter from the rain."
Everyone agreed, so they went into a nearby coffee shop.
The Song family entered the coffee shop and found a seat by the window. The rich aroma of coffee filled the air, making them feel relaxed and happy.
"Mom and Dad, what would you like to drink?" Song Ziqing asked.
"I think a latte will do," Song Jingwei replied with a smile.
Just then, the rain outside started to pour, and the raindrops hit the window, forming strings of water droplets.
"This rain is really heavy," Zhang Lihua said, looking out the window. "New York has a really nice feel to it when it rains!"
“Yes, but it also gives us a chance to rest here,” Lin Chengyu replied.
