Gao Xi heard the old man say that no one understands tea, it was a little strange, he still saw a lot of Chinese on the way here, including more elderly people, how could this old gentleman say that there is no one who understands tea?

So he smiled and said: "You are still very young at this age, you can walk around on weekdays, it shouldn't be a problem to find a tea friend, drink tea, play chess, that day is also quite good." ”

"When people are old, they are not very adaptable, our family is an old immigrant, I have been here since my father's generation, I should actually be a relatively pure American, but in fact this is not the case. My parents were detained in the United States because of some special circumstances, so they naturally have a better feeling for the motherland, and they did not let me go to American schools, but educated me at home, which made my familiarity and love for Chinese and Chinese culture far exceed that of English and American culture. You can also see the furnishings in this room, except that I have never lived in China, I am basically a real Chinese. The people around me are different from me, they are also old immigrants, but many of them don't speak Chinese, they speak English very slippery, and they also know more about American culture, to be honest, it is difficult to have a common language. My son saw that I was bored, so he got such a farm, at least there was something to do, so he didn't feel miserable and lonely. The old man sighed and said.

Gao Xi still felt a little incredible, so he asked, "Aren't there any new immigrants who just came here in the vicinity?" For example, Kefeng and Liu Peipei? ”

"Yes, of course, there is. But Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are the majority, and there are also southeast coasts, they all chat in Cantonese, I am an authentic northerner, I can't understand it at all, just play chess together and make do. Nothing else can be said at all. Kefeng and his wife can talk together, but after all, they are young people, and we old people think differently. ”

"I see."

Gaoxi can still understand that there are more people in the southeast coastal area who get rich first. So there are many immigrants, and the Hokkien, Cantonese, Wenzhou dialect and so on over there are not understood by the northerners at all, and in the eyes of the northerners, it seems that the people on the southeast coast speak Cantonese, but in fact, it is not at all, this matter is still Gao Xi listened to Lu Chengfeng, Lu Chengfeng is an authentic Hokkien people.

"Yes, although I don't have to worry about eating and drinking here, sometimes I really want to go back to China to retire. As people get older, they become more and more homesick. The old man sighed.

"You haven't been back in years?" Gossi asked, confused.

"No, I heard my son say that China is still in chaos, going to the mountains and going to the countryside, and there are all kinds of riots, and my son told me to stay in the United States and not let me go back. I didn't want him to worry, so I agreed. ”

"Huh?" Gao Xi was frightened by these words, what age is this. This old man's son actually arranges China like this, isn't he afraid of being exposed?

But when you think about it, you understand. The news in the United States is often very biased, which also leads many Americans to still have a perception of China in the sixties and seventies of the last world, thinking that China is still a poor country that cannot afford electricity, electrical appliances, or telephones, let alone cars.

In the eyes of these people, people in Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen can afford to use mobile phones. Afford to watch TV, afford fried chicken burgers.

Gao Xi didn't know why the son of the family said that, maybe he was just afraid of trouble and didn't want his parents to return to his hometown, so he deliberately made up a lie. But even so, his motherland was so slandered, and he still felt strange in his heart.

He is a person in Cao Ying's heart in Han, although he has taken American citizenship, but he has always regarded himself as a Chinese, and he is afraid that he will not be able to change it in this life, just like this old man's parents.

"Uncle, it's the 21st century now, China is not the China it used to be, if you really want to go back, go back and see, although I haven't been to many places, but judging from the situation in our hometown, the China in your son's mouth is not the same dimension as mine." Gao Xi said with a smile.

"Haha, in fact, I know this, I'm not old and confused, those new immigrants will also tell me about the situation in the country, some people are trying their best to slander, but there are also many people who say that their country is good after going abroad, I call it both listening and listening, and I will probably have some understanding of the situation in the country. My son probably thinks about me and his mother, both of us have a little high blood pressure, and our cervical spine is not very good. ”

"It looks like I'm talking a lot, so you know it."

"Not much mouth, not much mouth. Anyone who has a little bit of patriotism will certainly not be convinced when he hears others slander his motherland in such a way. The old man shook his head and said.

"Do you have any relatives in the country?" Gossey asked.

"Yes, my hometown is in Yancheng, Shaanzhou, I don't know what is going on there." The old man nodded.

"No wonder I heard that your Mandarin still has such a taste of Lao Shaanxi. It turns out that you really have to be from Shaanzhou. I am also from Shaanzhou, and I live in a small county near Yancheng. Now Yan Cheng is very powerful, it is a famous aircraft city. I guess your relatives are now rich. Gao Xi said excitedly.

"I heard my father say that the people in my hometown are all in the countryside, so what can I do?" The old man shook his head and said.

"You are very wrong, Yan Cheng has actually been the fastest rich in recent years, but it is the rural people. There is a large area of development, anyway, the villages near Yancheng have basically relocated, and they have received a lot of compensation, and then they are doing business and renting houses, and the people there are rich and rich, and the cars they drive are Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Land Rover, and even luxury cars like Porsche, Infiniti, and Lamborghini. "Gao Xi is not very familiar with other places, but Yancheng is really not far from their home, they went to the city when they were young, one is to go to the county seat, and the other option is to go to Yancheng.

"By the way, my dad said that the village in our hometown is called Nanli Village, you know?"

"Nanli Village? I know, my aunt's family is in Nanli Village. This Nanli village has not been demolished, but the land has been sold almost, because there is a wetland park, and the people of Nanli Village have built their houses high and big, and they have used them to rent, and they can really make money without doing anything, and a hundred thousand yuan a year is a small matter, and the village has to pay money, because a lot of the leased land is collective. Gaucy replied.

"It's good to have a good time, then I can go back with confidence." The old man said with a smile.

"What? Poor relatives, don't you want to see it? Gao Xi asked after a pause.

"Where do you want to go, young man. It's not that I look down on poor relatives, but you know, if they have a bad life, then I will go back to be poor and show off, and there is no point. Poor relatives also want to save face. It's different now, they're doing well, and I can recognize my relatives directly when I go back, which saves me a lot of unnecessary trouble. ”

Gao Xi smiled secretly, he can actually understand what the old man is worried about, rich relatives suddenly came back from abroad, if they are all poor relatives, then they will definitely ask this rich relatives for help, but in fact, this old man's life in the United States can only be said to be middle class, and it is reasonable to say, if you really want to help, you really can't help anything, then it will be embarrassing.

Things are much better now.

So he smiled and said: "Maybe you can go back and find a way to make money, our hometown has only developed in the past few years, and it has great potential." ”

"My old man doesn't want to make money, he has a headache, I'm now, just control myself, just protect it, don't let the children worry about it, as for other things, let the children do it." I have three children, a son and two daughters, the son is now a senior official of a large company in China, and the two daughters have their own warm families, which are not rich, but they are living a good life, and they have grandchildren and grandchildren, what else can I pursue? ”

"It's the same thing, when people get old, they still have to pay attention to the quality of life. Live well, that is the greatest success, and don't suffer in the wind and rain every day. By the way, if you go back to your hometown, you can go with my parents, there are companions on the road, besides, although that Nanli Village belongs to Yancheng and we belong to Fucheng, but the distance is very close, only two miles, go back together, and let my parents help you find your relatives. Gao Xi thought for a moment.

"Oh, that's so much thanks to the West Field. I have time, I must go to the West Farm's ranch first, I haven't hunted for a while, can you hunt there? The old man asked with a smile.

"Yes."

"That's great. You see that this has been talking for a long time, and you haven't introduced this little girl to me, is it your daughter-in-law? ”

Hearing this, Xi Haijuan's face turned red all of a sudden, like a red apple.

"Oh, you see how I forgot, Haijuan is my cousin, their family is in Yancheng, and they are old residents who live in the center of the city, she knows more about Yancheng than me. My cousin got a tour company, and this time she came with a group. Gao Xi hurriedly explained.

"Speaking of tourism, the United States is really good for travel, the air is good, and you can hunt on horseback. Business isn't bad, right? The old man asked.

"The company has just opened, and I can't say whether it is good or not, but from the perspective of these two group tours, the response of tourists is quite good, and we have indeed made money." Xi Haijuan said with a blushing face, until this moment, the flush on her face had not completely disappeared.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely find a time to go to the Yellowstone Ranch, maybe I can meet a lot of friends to talk to." The old man nodded, obviously in a good mood. (To be continued......)
