Chapter 37 I was speechless
"Mom, don't be angry, that Mariana definitely deserves it, and my sister should beat her!"
"Mom, you go slowly, be careful of the stairs~"
Sophie walked out of the principal's office all the way quickly, and remained silent, Oscar and Hannah couldn't stop talking, but Alice also kept silent until everyone walked out of the school gate together, and saw James striding towards them from a distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'm in class, Sophie, Alice hit someone?"
"I stunned them for the time being, and everyone got in the car."
Sophie waved her hand, and the whole family obediently got into the car, at this moment, she showed no means the calm and gentleness at home, but like a gold medal lawyer who is about to enter the courtroom and face the jury!
As soon as the car started, James immediately asked, "Alice, baby, the headmaster hung up on me, you got into a fight with a girl?" ”
"It was Mariana who provoked first!"
Oscar first said loudly: "I heard Mike talk about the situation at that time, didn't Alice write a manuscript of Jurassic Park and send it to the publishing house, and I don't know how Mariana has a brain, so she has to frame Alice for stealing her father's manuscript, and then constantly insult her, and even insult our whole family!" ”
"Yes, yes!"
Hannah also said: "Marissa told me all the situation at the first time, and my sister is so amazing, Marisa said that she still has a feeling of dreaming until now, she said, my sister knocked Mariana away at once!" ”
"Hit ...... Flying? ”
James was a little out of his senses, and although Hannah was very young, he knew that his little daughter almost didn't have to speak in an exaggerated way: "Alice, what the hell is going on?" ”
From almost the very beginning, Alice never said a word again.
When chaos spreads in the classroom, Sissi, Johnny, Mike, Marissa and other classmates who have a good relationship with her do not hesitate to side with her, and there are absolutely a large number of them. When Mr. Joseph, Director Robert, and Principal Hirota arrived, they all pointed out that it was Mariana's fault, and Alice didn't even need to explain herself.
When Mariana's parents arrived, Oscar was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and she still didn't need to speak as an older sister, and the younger brother alone confronted the couple into a dumbfounded. After all, when a teenager yells regardless of it, adults often can't hold it up.
Of course, in this process, Alice is not secretly helping, just a little mental power, she easily makes Mariana unable to even let out a fart.
As a result, it was not surprising that she noticed that Principal Hirota, who is of Japanese descent, was extremely speechless about this situation. Who would have thought that what should have been the incident of beating a classmate was instead the "victim" became the wrong party who was suppressed? And is it the Chinese he has always hated as a Japanese?
"The inferiority complex and the sense of superiority that bring about violent acts, this is essentially what it is."
Faced with her father's question, Alice opened her mouth to utter an unclear sentence, which made Oscar and Hannah look at each other immediately.
However, James was suddenly silent.
Inferiority complex, as well as a sense of superiority.
With his understanding of his daughter on weekdays, coupled with his own life experience, he instantly understood the meaning of these two words.
It is clear to everyone that Mariana Levin's family were immigrants from Czechoslovakia, and that they had just moved from Eastern Europe four years ago.
As a member of the Warsaw Pact, this small country in Eastern Europe is really not rich. Four years ago, in 1980, although James did not know the specific situation, he was able to make people leave their homeland and emigrate to other countries, and they were still running to the United States as the head of NATO...... God knows what kind of standard of living would have allowed the Lewin family to make such a decision.
After all, in general, if you can, you should go to the USSR and live in Moscow or St. Petersburg, right?
The only explanation is that in order to survive, for a better life, the family had to come to the United States instead of their big brother in the Soviet Union, the steel-based military-industrial powerhouse.
How to come to the United States in such a capacity without making them feel inferior?
And then it was in this situation that their daughter met Alice, who was of mixed Chinese descent.
"It's unavoidable, kid."
After a long silence, James said: "Although the United States is a melting pot, its problem of racial discrimination has always existed, and although this phenomenon has eased a lot now, and it is still mainly concentrated among black and white people, we will still be affected to some extent." ”
Sophie sighed as well.
As the wife who has been with James for more than a decade, she certainly understands all this.
"Speaking of which, Alice, and Hannah, you should really feel that you were born in the seventies."
Sophie laughed self-deprecatingly: "Mom, I was born in the late forties and then went to college in the sixties. Did you know that in the fifties, the percentage of women attending university was very low, and most of these majors were not open to women? For example, almost all women work as nurses, because the real profession is not open to women at all! ”
"So Alice, you don't have to be too upset about today's events, the country is still changing very quickly. Think about it, when your mother and I finished school, we were one of the few female PhDs in the entire history of the United States, but look at how many women are going to get high degrees one after another? ”
In the same way, all kinds of contradictions we encounter every day will definitely be constantly solved, from big problems to small troubles. Think about it, what was our goal for the mayor of Culver City last year? ”
When the question was asked, Hannah answered: "Put a fence on the lawns of all residential complexes, and the city government will pay for it!" ”
Hearing Hannah's immature voice, the whole car burst into laughter, and Sophie then said: "Yes, it's just a fence on the lawn, this is the propaganda goal of the mayoral campaign, why is it just such a trivial matter?" ”
At this point, Hannah couldn't answer, pouting and furrowing her eyebrows, and Oscar spoke: "Because big things like widening the road and expanding the library have been solved, he has to focus on some trivial things." ”
"That's right, that's it!"
Sophie laughed loudly: "Because the big problems have been solved, I can only deal with some trivial things." And if you think about it, in terms of the questions that Oscar just raised, the goals that we didn't achieve in Calver City ten years ago, widening roads and expanding libraries, are these kinds of things actually trivial if they are put in some slightly backward countries? ”
"Because there are more important issues that have not been solved, such as the transformation of slums, universal access to health insurance, the increase in employment rates, and even as a larger city, efforts to achieve industrial modernization and strive to achieve a well-off life as soon as possible...... Ahem, that's the truth. ”
Alice coughed twice, but Hannah thought she was uncomfortable and slapped her on the back twice very considerately.
"Don't worry, Mom, I understand these truths."
Alice couldn't help but sigh and looked out the window. Since it was already noon, James drove directly to the city to eat, not far from the street, and the Los Angeles Chinatown was clearly visible.
"In fact, as long as we become stronger, it is impossible for anyone to dare to find fault casually."
Looking at the plaque at the end of the street, Alice smiled slightly: "I am more confident than any of you, and in just thirty years, China's GDP will definitely reach the second place in the world." Mom, do you want to make this bet with me? ”
Thirty years in the world's second, this prophecy is really exaggerated, Sophie certainly did not think it could come true, but she still smiled lightly, and immediately looked at James, and sure enough, he also showed a warm smile.
It's just that Oscar in the back seat rolled his eyes, and Sophie couldn't help but feel that he didn't give his sister face too much, right?
"Okay, then I'll bet with you."
As James slowed down and was about to stop at their target hotel, Sophie smiled, "However, since you think China will become so powerful, do you also have to achieve something?" ”
"That's a must!"
Alice looked out the window, Cadillac was parking in front of a Chinese restaurant, watching the compatriot in traditional clothes keep commanding, she was happy.
"The first step, let's make a net worth of 100 billion dollars, all walks of life are involved, and turn the whole United States into your own back garden! And then, then...... Belch...... The next steps haven't been thought out yet, but since they have reached this realm, it would be too tasteless to talk about money. Hey, Oscar, Hannah, you guys say, right? ”
Hannah kept nodding at her for the first time, and Oscar leaned lazily on a glass, humming a little fun.
"Then Miss the richest man in the world, do you still plan to lead mankind to the universe?"
"Uh...... This is still an exaggeration. ”
Seeing her parents laughing in the front row, Alice grimaced in the rearview mirror, and said happily: "But it's still good to fight for it, come on and work hard~"
"Oh! Come on, sister! ”
"Well, mom is optimistic about you."
"Okay, my daughter is really angry with her father."
"Of course~ Eh, Oscar, don't you say something? Your sister and I are going to be the richest man in the world! ”
Oscar pursed his lips and cut off.
"It's useless, let's ask Cisco to make the first pot of gold first, and then let's talk about it, spend five dollars to register a leather bag company in the living room!"
"Uh...... Well, I was speechless. ”
