Chapter 8031: Long time no see
Pudong Airport, private jet runway. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A small three-engine jet with dark blue paint landed on the runway, and after taxiing for a while, the plane turned into the tarmac position, and before the gangway could be lowered, the horn of a waiting car was "ticked" to be sounded, as if urging the people on the plane to hurry down.
The gangway was finally lowered, and a head with blond coiled hair poked out of the gangway, which naturally belonged to Barbara...... (Haha~)
Barbara didn't bring anything, she got off the plane, and when she walked to the car, the co-pilot's door was opened, Barbara got into the car with a smile, glanced at the little doll in the baby cradle in the back seat, and smiled: "Mira, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to give birth to a baby." “
"......" Troy in the front seat and Mira in the back seat both looked at Barbara with a blinded face, but they didn't expect that Barbara would become so unable to speak after not seeing each other for a few months.
Barbara hurriedly smiled and waved her hand: "This is actually Valerie's exact words, she has always felt that you are marrying a man and having children is a nightmare for her." ”
The two of ......them continued to be blinded, especially Troy, and even put on an expression of "Are you the Barbara I know?"
Barbara smiled again and waved her hand, "Okay, I drank too much coffee when I came here to beat the jet lag......"
Mira shook her head and said, "Valerie has been speaking more straightforwardly since she was a child...... Well, no, it's a bad word, Troy, don't take it to heart. ”
Troy shrugged his shoulders and looked at Barbara and shook his head helplessly, after all, this is the only girl in his family, although she is adopted, but she is also held by several brothers, and now the highest status in the family is Barbara, after all, she and Phoebe together made such a good situation, the most important thing is that Troy is too experienced, his daughter-in-law and Barbara actually have a very good relationship, if he really "disciplined" Barbara, his daughter-in-law would definitely stand on Barbara's side- Thinking of this, Troy himself also felt that what Valerie said also made some sense, his daughter-in-law would marry him and give birth to a son, which is indeed beyond the imagination of some people, after all, the two families have not known each other since childhood, and Mira's temperament has always been strong like a strong woman, and even a little like a strong woman who hates men - just look at how she led her sisters in the family to bully Abron since she was a child.
Seeing that Troy didn't say anything, Barbara didn't pay attention to him, but turned back to Mira and said, "How's it going?
Mira glanced at her somewhat quiet son next to her, nodded and said, "It's generally going well." ”
Barbara glanced at Troy again and said, "Let's go, they won't come down until evening." ”
Troy glanced back at Mira, who looked through the window of the plane, and saw her sister Valerie's face appear on the porthole, Mira nodded and waved, and Valerie responded to her, and then Mila said to Troy, "Let's go first." ”
Troy heard this and drove the car off the tarmac, and on the way, Barbara made a gesture that only people in the diplomatic system knew if it was safe to talk here, and Mira did not shake her head or nod, and told Barbara with a gesture: The Chinese are listening to the conversation in this car.
In this regard, Barbara smiled slightly, and then began to say: "Mira, I heard you say that you went to the ceremony to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the bombing of the Chinese Embassy?"
Mila nodded and said: "Go, you know, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world order began to be unipolar, and there are more and more people who can give advice on the relationship between countries, and that time is the biggest shame in the American diplomatic community since the collapse of the Soviet Union, which actually allowed the intelligence system and the military to influence foreign policy, and most importantly, even the Chinese embassy was bombed at that time." The entire Kosovo War actually meant the decline of the traditional diplomatic circle, and it seemed that the lives of Chinese diplomats were sacrificed, but in fact, we put ourselves on the altar. ”
Barbara nodded: "Well, the new circle is also very dissatisfied with the current foreign policy of interfering in China at every turn, this is not the diplomatic method of the diplomatic circle after the founding of the United States, it is simply the military-led diplomatic method of the failed empire where the sun never sets, on the contrary, the diplomats of the Chinese are very similar to our methods." ”
Mira smiled and asked, "Isn't anyone worried about being recognized as treason by those soldiers?"
Barbara shook her head, "Everyone thinks that it was the soldiers, not us, who turned their backs on the traditions of the United States in the first place. ”
Mira nodded and smiled at Troy, "No wonder you all haven't been in the army for long. ”
Troy rolled his eyes inwardly, he knew that the purpose of Mira and Barbara saying these words was actually to want the Chinese to hear, but at this time to provoke himself, this is simply friendly firepower, but he still shrugged his shoulders and said: "No way, you are in HSD, I can only join the Secret Service to stay in HSD." ”
"Hehe, that's what you'll say~" Mira laughed.
Barbara rolled her eyes, and then said to Mira: "This time I am in such a hurry to let Valerie and them come to China, because judging from satellite photos, there is a large-scale plague in the northern neighbor of South Korea, but we have no excuse to enter there, we don't know what is going on there, and you know the two countries on the peninsula, they will only shout when they are fine, and if something really happens, they will be silent like now, and they would rather wait for death than tell anyone." Everyone is worried that this news will be seen by those soldiers as a good time for military intervention in Northeast Asia, so they want the Chinese to quickly take care of it. However, I think Valerie is not in the circle, although they will not be stared at by domestic people, but they have no experience at all, I am afraid it is not easy to convince the Chinese. If you have time, how about you go and bring them?"
Mira immediately said: "I don't do it, I've been preparing to do TV shows recently, if I touch politics, my position is not neutral enough, and I'm still in confinement, you find someone else." ”
"Confinement?" Barbara was stunned, this was not something that had been communicated in advance, and listening to the pronunciation, it was obviously a Chinese word.
Mila smiled and nodded: "Well, Oriental women have to recuperate for a month after giving birth, I think this is a very good habit, which helps to help women adjust their endocrine in this month, it is easier to recuperate mentally and physically, after all, suddenly losing so much weight, it is impossible for people to fully adapt, I think Eastern women are much happier than Western women in this regard." ”
Barbara nodded slightly, although she didn't know about "confinement", but knew that one of the plans that Phoebe had made for Mila before was to ask Mila to praise some traditional customs in China, which could make it easier for Chinese to accept her, so regardless of whether Mila really liked "confinement", but saying it in the case of eavesdropping is indeed a good way for the Chinese to accept her faster.
Mira smiled again: "And what you don't know is that the confinement of Chinese women is happier than that of other Oriental women, no wonder Chinese women were willing to wrap their men's feet in the past." But you look at us modern women, willing to wear high heels for men, but we didn't even mix it up with confinement, and we were fooled into saying that it was women's rights, tsk, fortunately, Troy is not that kind of man. ”
"Haha......" Barbara smiled awkwardly, after all, Troy was her brother.
And Troy also looked in the rearview mirror funny, and then explained to Barbara: "Chinese women can calm the personality changes caused by pregnancy hormones through confinement, so that when they come out to see people after a month, they are not much different from their previous personalities. ”
Barbara nodded this time and said, "In this way, I feel that this confinement is quite good." ”
Mira smiled, touched her son's head, which was still asleep, and said, "Don't talk about this, in the future, do we really want to move closer to China?"
Barbara nodded: "You can't come in July, so I don't know, at that time, several old men from the Cold War era always believed that the diplomatic bloc should have gotten rid of the subjective opinions of the intelligence system and the military system like this, and independently made diplomatic proposals that were beneficial to the United States." But the collapse of the Soviet Union was so rapid that no one reacted at all, so many good opportunities were missed. ”
Speaking of this, Barbara smiled, pointed to herself and said: "They also said that it was because of a young man like me, who was deceived by the capitalist gang back then, thinking that the collapse of the Soviet Union could increase many diplomat positions, but in fact, it is precisely because of the dominance of the United States that the IQ threshold for handling foreign affairs has been rapidly reduced, and anyone can be a diplomat, while people in our traditional diplomatic circles will be quickly marginalized, if in the Cold War era, this kind of thing is unimaginable." ”
Mira laughed: "Why? Some people say that if China is broken up, there will be a lot of new diplomatic posts?"
Barbara nodded and shook her head: "There are indeed such idiots, it has only been more than ten years, and the weakening of the diplomatic circle is too rapid. Therefore, everyone decided that China must be preserved, and even appropriately allowed China to annex some small and insignificant countries, so that China's strategic posture can be in a better position, so that we can remove those unqualified diplomats from the circle and restore the glory of the diplomatic family for more than 200 years. ”
Mira shook her head: "As far as my observation during this time in China is concerned, I don't think the Chinese will follow our way of thinking, they will cooperate in some things at most, but things will definitely not develop as everyone thinks." ”
Barbara sighed slightly and said: "So, we missed a very good opportunity before, and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia really shouldn't let the people of the intelligence system and the military system have the upper hand." ”
Mira didn't speak, nodded, so there was silence in the carriage for a while, and Mila suddenly asked again: "By the way, do you really think that by selling special metals to the Chinese at a low price, the Chinese can establish a cooperative relationship with us?"
Barbara shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, "I don't think so, but that's what Abrun meant, so men are idealists, and after beating Chinese to the point that his nose and face are swollen, he still wants to make friends with Chinese......" Barbara said this, and deliberately glanced at Troy who was driving, and said, "Even Bayer thinks so." But I think it's okay to try, sooner or later you will have to deal with the Chinese, but today's young people are increasingly lacking in diplomatic training, so you must bring them with you. ”
But Mila didn't say yes, she didn't say bad, but pointed to her son and said, "You know? He has a Chinese name, called Mihe, and I, my name is Mira, and Troy also has a Chinese name, called Mite." ”
Barbara was suddenly blinded, not knowing why Mira was off-script again, what she didn't know was that someone somewhere who was listening to their conversation couldn't help but laugh. Because he clearly remembered that Troy told himself with a depressed face that his wife was more domineering than usual when she was confined, and not only let herself take her surname, but also named herself. And the origin of the surname Mi is because it is just during this time in the broadcast of the world's granary, the protagonist who has wisdom and responsibility is called Mihe, and she is called Mila, so Mila gave her son a Chinese name Mihe, the reason why she did not use the same "river" as the protagonist, but used the peaceful "and", is because the protagonist of this drama, Mihe, ended up being a little mixed, and Mila did not want her son to become the same as Mihe in the future, becoming an idealist who disregarded the people around him.
But in general, Mila still likes Mi He's character very much, plus she has the "surname Mi", so the family of three became Mihe, Mila and Mitte - but Mila and Troy didn't know that when Troy was a little happy and a little helpless to tell his Chinese friend his Chinese name, he almost made his Chinese friend laugh and go back to his anger, because, Mitt, Mitt, seems to be saying that he is an American spy......
(The Granary of the World actually premiered in 2002, but I checked that CD TV rebroadcast the show in early 2009, so it's not surprising that the two old men in Mira's house chased the show.) )
