1156 The Feeling of Home
Father smiled and joked with Jin Muchen, but Jin Muchen smiled: "It's not bad, don't lose your old man's face." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Well, it's good, worthy of my old Jin's son."
The father said with a smile, the mother next to her, looking at the father and son who were bragging to each other, her eyes were full of doting, indeed, no matter who has Jin Muchen, a son, she will be proud of herself.
Jin Muchen's father can be regarded as an old man in society, he has never seen any scenes, and many of his friends are celebrities in politics and business in his circle, and some of those people may be better than him, but when it comes to children, then Dad Jin is absolutely qualified to be arrogant in front of those people.
How many of those people's children can be as good as his son? Most people are still relying on Lao Tzu's shadow to mess around in society, and some of them are out of tune, and now they can already see the essence of the loser.
There are only a few that are not bad, relatively good, floating in big cities like Beijing or Puhai, but most of them rely on their father's funding to barely gain a foothold there.
And there are several children of those people who have gone abroad, but how many of them can mix so well like his old Jin's son abroad?
So Jin Muchen can be said to be the one thing that Jin's father and Jin's mother are most proud of, and when they usually go out with relatives and friends, they are the most worthy of their bragging.
After all, when people reach their age, there is nothing else to compare with, only their own children are the most worthy of their boasting and comparison.
Although Jin Muchen also knows that this kind of thing is not a good thing, but there is no way, there is such a circle in China, twenty years ago, people looked at your father's face and respected your son, and twenty years later, it was people who looked at your son's face to respect your father, if you can't do this, then it can only mean that you have failed.
Although this is very straightforward and cruel, this is the current reality of Chinese society.
And he is also very happy to be proud of his parents, after all, as a child, he can make his parents' faces shine, which is also a kind of filial piety.
"Okay, you two, don't stand here and blow it, hurry up and get in the car, I'm already tired after a day on the plane."
Mom looked at the two of them, standing outside the car and blowing non-stop, and saluting each other's cigarettes, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she slapped the car door and shouted at the two of them.
Dad Jin didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly stepped on the cigarette, and then pulled Jin Muchen into the car.
"I said Lao Jin, how many times have I told you to quit smoking, let you quit smoking, but you just don't quit, you see that even your son has made you bad and smokes with you."
Jin Muchen drove out of JFK Airport in a car, while Jin's mother complained vigorously in the back seat, and Jin's father sat in the front passenger seat and was hehe.
In fact, both of them know that smoking is not a good habit, but Jin Muchen is okay, he is now physically strong, and the little poison of smoking will not cause any harm to his body at all.
Although he used to smoke, he didn't smoke much, but then something happened, after he came out of the original unit and started to do his own engineering, he smoked more and more, and his addiction to smoking became bigger and bigger.
This is also no way, the domestic business environment, now is like this, such as going out to socialize, others give you a cigarette, if you say you quit, open-minded people are fine, careful people are afraid that you will think that you have an opinion of him.
And sometimes when you go to work with people you don't know, there must be no common words at first, and sometimes you give each other a cigarette, which is likely to quickly shorten the distance between the two sides, so Dad Jin is really in the rivers and lakes, and this smoking is not so easy to quit even if you want to.
The car quickly drove out of the airport, and then drove straight to Manhattan, along the way, in addition to the familiar nagging of my mother, that is, my father could find a topic and point to the scenery outside.
Jin Muchen's family used to have good economic conditions, so when he was in middle school, the family often went out to travel during the holidays, and the domestic tourist attractions basically turned around, and then Australia, New Zealand also went to a few times, but then there was an accident at home, and when the family was in the middle of the road, he didn't travel much.
Later, after Jin Muchen fished out his father and arranged a new position, his father has been very busy and has no time to travel.
This time is the first time in a few years, Jin's father took Jin's mother out to travel, they used to want to come to the United States to see Jin Muchen, but at that time, because of various things, they were very busy and had no chance, this time they finally had the opportunity to come to the United States, so they naturally had to keep their eyes open and take a good look at what this financial center, known as the world's number one power, is like.
It's a pity that the prosperity of the United States advertised on TV is completely invisible in places like Brooklyn and the Bronx, and the streets are not wide, with low houses on both sides, and the corners are full of idle blacks and Latinos, who don't look like good people.
So Dad Jin and Mom Kim were disappointed all the way, most of their impressions of the United States are still stuck in those pictures on TV, there are high-rise buildings everywhere, and there are bustling street scenes everywhere, but who would have thought that this place is known as the world's financial capital, this place is not as good as the big cities in China, Beijing and Puhai.
Just waited for Jin Muchen to drive the car onto the Brooklyn Bridge and saw Manhattan opposite, the two closed their mouths, looking at the place in Manhattan, they finally saw a little bit of a big city, and this place, like the American movies and TV series that I often watch, is indeed full of high-rise buildings.
But as soon as the car entered the SOHO area, the old couple made another fussy mistake: "Hey, this is still the world's largest metropolis, do you see what the road looks like?" There are patches everywhere, and it's good that my son's car is good, otherwise this ass wouldn't be crazy. ”
Regarding his mother's behavior of having nothing to say, Jin Muchen could only smile helplessly: "Yes, the road conditions here are really not good, but after all, this road has been around for decades, and in this place in New York, it often snows heavily in winter, in order to avoid traffic hazards, so the road administration department often has to sprinkle snow remover on the road, and these snow removers are still quite damaging to the road surface, so every year when the spring snow melts, the road administration department has to contribute to tinkering on these roads." If you want to completely renovate it, it is basically impossible, after all, this is the busiest city in the world, and every day the road is crowded with countless cars, and renovating the road will cause a big traffic jam... ”
Jin Muchen explained to his mother with a smile, but his father scoffed when he heard it: "Don't talk about it, you can't renovate it during the day, won't it be renovated at night?" There was no one on the road at night... ”
Jin Muchen could only smile bitterly and stop talking, to say that it is indeed possible to build roads at night, there are indeed no cars on the road at night, but do you think that these Americans are as hard-working as we Chinese?
It is no exaggeration to say that building roads this night is not a difficult thing for us Chinese at all, and it is not a problem at all to build dozens of kilometers, or even hundreds of kilometers, for you in one night.
But the Americans... Oh, with their efficiency, it's good to be able to repair a kilometer for you in one night, and these guys can obviously do the work in thirty days, they have to do it for you for a hundred days, after all, they do work, but pay by the hour, so the longer a project cycle is done, the more they earn, which is why many American employers like to spend money to find black workers, such as those Chinese or Mexicans who work black to do the project, on the one hand, because their asking price is cheap, The other aspect is that they are really efficient.
But for municipal projects like road construction, do you dare to find black workers? Those trade unions can be so disgusting to death that today they dare to go to your construction site to block the road and beat your workers, and tomorrow they dare to go to the city hall to besiege the city government.
And even if you put this work in the hands of those local workers, they can do it for you for 30 days for 100 days, but if that happens, the common people will not do it, they will run to the door of the town hall every day to protest, waste crossbows, make noise and so on.
So this kind of road renovation work, although many people know how to do it, but no one has ever dared to propose, after all, this is a bad thing that can't eat mutton, but it is easy to get into trouble, and not many people are willing to make such trouble for themselves.
But I can't say these things to my parents.
just wandered all the way, and soon arrived at Jin Muchen's house, and when he drove the car directly into the parking garage of the building he bought, his parents were completely stunned.
"Yo he, I already knew that your kid made a fortune, but I didn't expect you to make it to such a point, I knew that you were so rich, your mother and I are still working hard in China, I should have retired a long time ago."
The father looked at Jin Muchen's big house and said with a sigh, while the old mother rolled her eyes vigorously beside her: "Old Jin, I said that you old guy, why are you so hypocritical and wrong to speak?" Your son has long asked you to retire and go home to retire, but aren't you happy? At this time, I will complain about my son! I tell you, don't use my son as an excuse. ”
Jin Muchen smiled and watched his parents pulling around, this kind of home feeling is really good. (To be continued.) )
