Chapter 22 Returning to China for the New Year

The plane landed at Haishi International Airport, and Liu Jun had been waiting in the waiting hall for a long time.

When Su Zhen and Liu Jun walked out of the airport hall together, they found that Liu Jun actually drove a police car to pick them up, Su Zhen and Liu Ru didn't say anything, and Liu Shihua called away immediately.

"Dad, why did you come here in a police car, didn't I leave you money, how good it would be to buy a car yourself." Liu Shihua was very dissatisfied, after all, sitting in the police car was different from other cars, there was always a little weird feeling, but Rachel was very curious and looked around in the car.

"Hey, it's a waste of money to buy your own car, the unit already has a car, you can use it, and you can't usually use it when you buy a car yourself" Liu Jun didn't care.

At this time, Liu Ru spoke: "Big brother, it's better for you to buy your own car, although the private use of the bus is not a big deal, but sometimes it is easy to be realistic, and the police car is too eye-catching after all, especially if you are on the rise now, some aspects are still good to pay attention to, anyway, now the family conditions are good, poetry and painting have made a lot of money, and it is nothing to buy a car." ”

Liu Jun has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, this bit of political wisdom is still there, as soon as he heard Liu Ru's words, he suddenly became very cheerful, nodded immediately, and was ready to go back and get his own car to drive, and his daughter made a lot of money writing books This is something that many people know, so I don't worry about being misunderstood because of buying a car.

After about two hours of driving, we arrived in Hangzhou.

Along the way, Su Zhen introduced his hometown to Rachel, Rachel was very excited, and after a few months of living together, Rachel was aroused by Su Zhen's family to have a great interest in this country, and this time she finally had the opportunity to come to this country.

Rachel found that the country was completely different from many American propaganda, especially Haishi and Hangzhou, which were completely cosmopolitan cities, and there was no scene in the propaganda of the American government.

In Su Zhen's view, in fact, each country's internal and external propaganda methods are actually similar, all of which are to promote the bad points of other countries internally to improve national happiness, and externally to publicize the various benefits of their own country to enhance national competitiveness and the attractiveness of human resources.

According to Liu Jun, this year's housing prices have risen a lot compared to last year, Su Zhen is naturally not surprised by this, the current increase is just beginning, but when it comes to houses, Su Zhen remembered several classical old villas on the edge of the West Lake.

These old villas are the rich merchants and gentry of the Ming and Qing dynasties in order to enjoy and specially built, the general area is very large, there are European-style villas and typical Jiangnan garden style, aside from its own historical significance, it is located in the beautiful environment of the West Lake, can be said to be the top health place.

Su Zhen considered whether he should get a few sets and give them to his grandfather to live in the future, and such a large villa can allow two uncles and grandfathers to live together, so that the elderly can be easily taken care of in the future, but now most of these buildings are in the hands of the government, and now the "Measures for the Protection of West Lake Historical Relics and Buildings" that allow these villas to be bought and sold has not yet been implemented, I don't know if Lu Dao can buy it, Su Zhen remembers that there is a villa in the future that was sold for more than 300 million yuan.

The car soon drove to Su Zhen's "home" before going abroad, and his grandfather originally hoped that Su Zhen and Liu Ru could live directly with them, but there was only one guest room at home, and Rachel couldn't let Rachel live alone in the hotel, so he simply accompanied Rachel to live back to his original home.

After sending Su Zhen and Liu Ru home, Liu Jun carried Liu Shihua home, and the two of them naturally thought about it after not seeing their daughter for a few months, and they must have a lot to say.

Liu Ru and Su Zhen took Rachel into the house, and the furniture in the room was covered with oilcloth, and all the furnishings were the same as when they left.

After putting away the luggage, Su Zhen and Liu Ru Rachel began to clean up together, and it is estimated that they will stay for more than half a month when they return to China this time.

I went to my grandfather's house for dinner, but I didn't want to, so I took a taxi and arrived soon.

The uncle and the second uncle are both in the family, they are all here to pick up the wind for Su Zhen and Liu Ru, Su Zhen introduced all the members to Rachel, everyone is also very welcome to this beautiful and generous foreign girl, although more than a dozen people are crowded in the small dining room is slightly crowded, but no one cares about these, the family is happy to reunite is real, although it is not yet the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but the strong smell of the year has permeated the surroundings.

After eating, Liu Ru and Rachel took out the prepared gifts and distributed them to everyone one by one, grandma pulled Liu Ru to ask about life abroad, and the two aunts listened to Rachel and Liu Shihua talk about some new things abroad.

In the next few days, Su Zhen accompanied Rachel to visit all the places of interest in Hangzhou, appreciated the Jiangnan style, and added a variety of snacks to make Rachel linger. Liu Ru and Liu Shihua spent their time at reunions with some of their former friends and classmates.

Soon it was the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was also eaten at my grandfather's house, but the second uncle's family was not there, but went to the house of the second aunt in the neighboring city.

After eating, the whole family crowded into the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala, at this time, people have not been impregnated by various entertainment programs and networks in later generations, so watching the Spring Festival Gala is still with relish, including Rachel, everything in China is very new to her.

There are still some differences between the Chinese New Year in the south and the north, the dumplings are eaten in the north during the New Year, and the rice balls are eaten more in the south.

In this way, in the midst of the noisy firecrackers outside the window, Rachel spent the first Chinese New Year.

A few days later, Liu Ru took Su Zhen and Rachel to visit relatives and friends, and every family went to pay New Year's greetings, perhaps everyone felt very new to have a beautiful American girl to visit the New Year, basically every family wrapped a big red envelope for Rachel, Rachel didn't know this habit of the Chinese at first, felt very strange, what to send her money for no reason, and made a joke, or Su Zhen told her that the money sent by the Chinese to send red paper bags represented a blessing for good luck in the coming year, and then Rachel happily accepted it.

When he returned home after his old age, Su Zhen looked at Rachel who was happily counting the money, obviously he was a serious relative, well, his red envelope was at most a big unity (98 years still used the fourth set of RMB, 100 yuan is the top of the four older generation of leaders, and now the fifth set is used. However, I feel that the current four are not as good as the one at that time~ I believe everyone has a deep understanding), for what Rachel received, but there is at least one ~ The nature is completely different!! Looking at the thick stack of red envelopes that Rachel took out, compared with the thin ones in his hand, he was full of resentment

During this period, Su Zhen also went to visit his grandfather and grandmother, although Su Yucheng was sorry for himself and his mother, but the older generation was not wrong, Su Zhen chatted with the two old people about the current situation, and learned from the conversation with the grandparents that Su Yucheng went to the woman's hometown Shishi since he divorced his mother, and did a small business there, only occasionally contacted the two old people by phone.

After the New Year's greetings, Su Zhen's family took Rachel to start a trip in southern China, in fact, in the previous life, Su Zhen can be said to have basically not gone abroad in Zhejiang Province, this cup is better, and went directly to the United States. So he took this opportunity to take his mother and Rachel to get ready to visit the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland.

Su Zhen, who was far away in China, didn't know what to say, just when he was happily traveling, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a storm caused by him had slowly set off.
