After the start of school, the parents followed the younger brother's family to a rented house in the city, the younger brother and his family had to work, and the parents had to cook for their grandchildren, and the grandchildren had to go to school. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI also like that my parents live in the city, so it is more convenient for me to visit them, I don't have to go by car, I can get to them by bike or walk for more than ten minutes.

In the afternoon, my mother called me to say that my niece Lulu, who was studying in the United States, had come back and had already taken the train to see her coming, and asked me and Lu Tao to drive to the train station at 8 o'clock in the evening to pick her up.

As soon as we heard that my niece was back, our family of three was very excited, not only because we hadn't seen my niece miss her for many years, but more importantly, because I wanted to feel the taste of foreign countries from my niece.

Our family drove and waited in the square in front of the train station at half past seven. In order to see his cousin, Yang Yang didn't even do his homework, and of course, I acquiesced to him. Yangyang and I both think that seeing Lulu is more important than doing homework, Lulu can only see each other for many years, and homework is available every day, that is rare? But it doesn't mean that Yangyang is not allowed to do his homework, and when he gets home, he will be allowed to do his important homework selectively, just sleep a little later.

Half an hour later, the train came into the station, and as hundreds of passengers poured out of the station, I called my niece and told her the color and license plate number of our car, as well as where we were. Our family of three had already gotten out of the car and were standing in front of the car and craned our necks in the crowd searching for my little niece.

When the passengers were about to disperse, my eyes lit up and I saw my eldest sister!

"Eldest sister, this way!" I waved my hand and hurriedly ran in the direction of the eldest sister.

"Where's Lulu, where is it?" I asked, as I ran up to my eldest sister, looking left and right at her.

"Over there, I went to buy bread. The eldest sister pointed to a bakery next to her.

"Buy bread? Yangyang doesn't like bread very much now, and told her not to buy it. I said politely to the eldest sister. I think Lulu must have bought bread for Yangyang.

I didn't want my eldest sister's next words to make me a little embarrassed, she said: "It's not for Yangyang, it's for her boyfriend, her boyfriend only eats bread and doesn't eat Chinese food!"

"Does her boyfriend?" Lulu has a boyfriend?" I asked, surprised and delighted.

"Alas, I only found out when she came back, and it makes me angry to bring a foreigner back!"

"Lulu got a foreign boyfriend?"

My eldest sister and I were talking when we saw a tall foreign man walking towards us with a petite Chinese girl. Although Lulu has changed a lot from before she went abroad, she is less student and more feminine, but I still recognize her immediately. And the foreign man next to her I couldn't tell his age for a while, he looked like he was forty years old, but the foreigners were all mature, maybe only in their twenties.

With three people coming, our car couldn't fit and we had to get a taxi for Lulu and her boyfriend.

The group came directly to my mother, who had already prepared a meal and was waiting for us.

"Look at my Lulu, she's growing taller again. "That's what Mom likes to say when she sees her granddaughter, even though I didn't see any significant increase in Lulu's height.

As I expected, when my mother saw Lulu's boyfriend Jimmy, who was 1.9 meters tall and had to bow his head when he entered the door, her face showed surprise dozens of generations as I did when I met this foreign friend at the train station.

"Grandma, this is Jimmy. Lulu introduces her boyfriend to her grandmother.

"What?" Mom said, looking up at Jimmy with her mouth wide open.

"It's Jimmy!"

"Chicken?"

When Lulu was crying and laughing at her grandmother's interruption, the eldest sister spoke: "Chicken is chicken, the sound is about the same." ”

Jimmy also greeted his mother with a smile on his face, but we didn't understand him. Lu Tao quietly asked Yang Yang if he could understand, and Yang Yang said he couldn't understand. Although Yang Yang has been taking English classes since the third grade of elementary school, when he actually meets foreigners, he can't even understand simple conversations, because the first time he hears English from the mouth of a foreigner, there is a big difference between listening to English from the mouth of a foreigner and speaking it from the mouth of his teacher. English teachers in China have been speaking English in a Chinese accent, just as foreigners in China have been speaking Chinese in a foreign accent.

As our family sat around the table, Jimmy was alone eating his bread. After dinner, as we laughed around Lulu, Jimmy became a photographer and kept taking pictures of us.

"Would Jimmy want to live in China?" I asked Lulu.

"No, I'm going to settle in the United States. Lulu replied.

At this time, the eldest sister on the side couldn't laugh, sighed and said: "At the beginning, I just wanted to train her to become a talent, and I wanted her to have a good career and live a good life in the future, but I didn't want to be careless and let her slip out of the country! And I didn't want to come back! I didn't even want my parents! Alas, your brother-in-law and I were really empty!"

"Mom, how can you say that? What do you mean that the bamboo basket is empty? I will take you and Dad in a few years. Lulu clearly disagrees with her mother's point of view.

"Forget it, your dad and I won't go to the United States with you, if you take the two of us abroad, it's the same as throwing us both on Mars!"

"Mom, can't you just think about opening a little, don't stay in one place and don't move your nest, the world outside is big, walk everywhere!" Lulu persuaded her mother.

"Lulu is right, don't circle yourself, just be casual. ”

"Feel free? Can you put penguins in Hong Kong to live? I know that I only belong to China!" Listening to the eldest sister's words, people who don't know her still think that her choice is completely out of patriotism, but in fact, she mainly thinks about herself.

Jimmy didn't understand our conversation at all and was smiling the whole time.

"Sister, are you in New York?" asked Yang Yang as he squeezed over his cousin. Apparently, he was curious about this cousin who had returned from abroad.

"No, in Alaska. ”

"Where is Alaska?"

"Didn't you take a geography lesson? Go back and look it up on the map. ”

My younger brother also came over, and instead of praising Lulu for anything, he encouraged Yangyang and said, "Yangyang, you have to learn from your sister, and you will be admitted to a good university in the future, and if your grades are particularly good, you can also go to a foreign country like your sister." ”

I didn't want Yangyang to smile and said, "My mother doesn't have that much money to let me go abroad." ”

"As long as you can pass the exam, you can go to university there in the future, and you can choose any university in the world. I immediately said.

"Oh, it's enough to go to a university in China, and sending a child abroad is equivalent to giving a child away!" the eldest sister still sighed and said, it seems that she now regrets sending Lulu to go to school abroad, and she can't help but miss her daughter.

"Sister, when the children grow up, they are like birds leaving the nest, they want to fly there and there, you don't always think about keeping the children by your side, don't always want to plan the future of the children, you can complete your task by raising the children as adults. ”

"It's always bad to have a child so far away from home. ”

"As long as the child is happy. ”

After nine o'clock, the family of three returned to their house, and as soon as they entered the door, the first thing Yang Yang did was to take a pencil and look for something in the world map pasted on the front wall of the study.

"Mom, Alaska is so far from New York? After a while, Yang Yang said to me loudly as if he had discovered a new world.

"No, otherwise you think Alaska is there? You can't learn geography all the time, and you don't know where such a famous place is. "I tactfully criticized Yang Yang.

"Mom, I want good grades, will you really send me abroad?" Yang Yang asked me with a serious face as he removed the pencil from the world map.

"Yes, didn't my mother say it at my grandmother's house? As long as you can pass the exam, you can go to college there. I promise again.

"Well, I'll study well. ”

"Yes, as long as you study hard, I will send you to the United States in the future. ”

"No, I'm not going to the United States, I'm going to Japan!"

"Japan, why do you have to go to Japan?"

As soon as I heard Yangyang mention Japan, I remembered the bloody story of the Japanese who I had heard thousands of times about the Japanese who killed my relatives. I didn't object to Yangyang going to Japan, but I knew that his grandmother and grandmother would definitely strongly oppose it.

"I just want to go to Japan to study anime production, not politics. Yang Yang said.

At this time, Lu Tao, who had been in the audience next to him, spoke: "Hurry up and let Yangyang do his homework, it's not too early." ”

"Okay, you do your homework, Mom is going out. ”

When Lu Tao and I withdrew from the study, Lu Tao lowered his voice and said to me: "Yangyang has grown up, he can't coax him anymore, you promise him to study abroad now, what if he really wants to go abroad in the future?"

"I'm not coaxing him, I'm serious, as long as he has good grades, he can choose from universities all over the world. ”

"Do you really want Yangyang to go abroad?"

"It's not that I think, it's up to him to choose, I just don't block and support more. ”

"Didn't you listen to the eldest sister? Sending a child abroad is the same as giving a child to others, it is equivalent to having no children, and you won't see each other for a few years, are you willing to live like that?"

"Didn't you listen to what I said to my eldest sister? We are parents to raise the child to complete the task, as for what career the child will engage in in the future, where to go, it is all up to the people themselves, we can't drag the child back, we can't always want to tie the child to themselves, you have to really love him, that is, let him do what he likes to do, that is, to make him happy. ”

"I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to sleep, I find your mind thinking cranky every day!"

"What nonsense is this? I think it's true!" (To be continued.) )
