After freshening up, a Japanese woman in a red kimono bowed deeply to them at the door.

Said he was here to clean up the room.

Li Zhejun took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant for breakfast." ”

When passing by the living room, Du Xiaowei saw that in the living room, there were also two Japanese women wearing red kimonos kneeling on the ground and wiping the floor.

Du Xiaowei asked curiously, "Why did your family invite so many Japanese maids?" ”

Li Zhejun smiled mysteriously: "I'll tell you later." ”

The dining room is on the side of the living room.

When I went inside, breakfast was already on the table. It's one of the most famous snacks in Los Angeles: hot dogs and burgers, with a glass of fresh milk.

Du Xiaowei saw that Li Zhejun's father was not there, and asked where he went. Li Zhejun said that he went to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to participate in the party.

After breakfast, Li Zhejun said, "I'll take you to Chinatown." ”

Du Xiaowei readily agreed.

In the car, Du Xiaowei remembered what he had just said, but he hadn't said it yet. So, I asked again.

Lee Cheol-jun said: "Actually, my dad doesn't like Japanese people. I heard him say that when Japan invaded China, it burned down the house in our hometown. My grandfather was displaced, so I fled to the United States with him...... Therefore, he has always had a prejudice against the Japanese. ”

Du Xiaowei still didn't understand what he meant: "What does that have to do with hiring a Japanese maid?" ”

Li Zhejun smiled: "This...... You can only understand it, but you can't say it...... You see the way they kneel and lift your shoes and wipe the floor, and you understand......"

Du Xiaowei suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's ......"

In fact, in China, there are many elderly people who are still haunted by the crimes committed by Japan back then. In addition, their government has so far refused to admit its mistakes and apologize, so I am afraid that this kind of mustard cannot be eliminated for a while.

However, she was still a little puzzled: "That Mr. Yamamoto ......"

"That's the exception...... Because he has always been friendly to China. ”

Du Xiaowei nodded.

Before you know it, Chinatown has arrived.

Standing on the bustling street, Du Xiaowei had a feeling of being worn in an instant.

Archways, lanterns, couplets, Chinese knots, yellow skin and black eyes, Chinese architecture, Chinese character signs, a dazzling array of Chinese goods...... and the five-star flag flying high on the roof of the building......

Everything in front of her made her feel as if she had returned to a small county town in China.

Li Zhejun said: "It's shocking, right? We Chinese can create miracles everywhere. Yesterday, you said that my house is a cottage, and now I want to correct it. This is not a copycat, it is a historical and cultural inheritance. ”

Du Xiaowei nodded in agreement.

The two of them walked slowly along the street, tasting various flavors of food. At this moment, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums in front, and a group of people in golden performance costumes caught their attention.

It turned out to be a dragon and lion dance team.

The two of them hurriedly ran over......

After watching the dragon and lion dance performance, I went to the coffee house next to me to have a cup of coffee, and before I knew it, it was noon.

Li Zhejun asked: "Do you go home for dinner or solve it on the spot?" ”

Du Xiaowei was having a lot of fun and didn't want to go back so soon.

Li Zhejun said: "Okay, I'll give you a surprise." ”

Du Xiaowei was very happy: "What surprise?" ”

Li Zhejun pulled her to the door of a Hunan restaurant and said, "How about eating here?" ”

Du Xiaowei opened her mouth wide in surprise: "OMG, there are still restaurants for Hunan people here?" ”

Li Zhejun smiled: "This is not unusual, Chinese people are all over the world!" ”

"Then I must try the American version of Hunan cuisine!"

With that, he walked in quickly.

Du Xiaowei and Li Zhejun found a seat and sat down. The interior decoration is not much different from that of restaurants in China, and what surprised her even more was that the owner of the restaurant could still speak authentic Hunanese.

On the other side of the world, being able to hear her familiar native accent, Du Xiaowei suddenly felt very cordial!

She couldn't wait to order a few of her favorite Hunan dishes. Then, despite Li Zhejun watching from the sidelines, he ate it with a big meal.

Li Zhejun gave up his life to accompany the gentleman and also ordered a plate of fried meat with chili peppers.

However, seeing Du Xiaowei eating in a big gulp, she couldn't help but remind: "Hey, eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

He was curious, it had only been a few days since he went abroad, and she was like she hadn't eaten something from her hometown for several years?

……

Coming out of the restaurant, Lee Cheol-jun proposed to go for a walk on the beach.

Du Xiaowei asked excitedly: "Is there a sea here?" ”

"In Santa Monica, it's a 20-minute drive away. ”

Du Xiaowei nodded again and again: "Okay, you lead the way." ”

Santa Monica, located west of the city of Los Angeles, is a resort and seaside city.

Soon, the two arrived.

Golden sunshine, deep blue sea, flying seagulls...... There is also the white sand beach covered with the footprints of tourists.

Today's weather is good, so there are a lot of tourists.

Du Xiaowei and Li Zhejun stood on the shallow beach, watching the white waves rushing towards them wave after wave, and couldn't help cheering.

"The air here is so good!" Du Xiaowei opened her mouth and took a deep breath.

Li Zhejun said: "Of course, this is a natural oxygen. ”

The two held hands and walked a long way along the long beach. Li Zhejun looked at the villas behind the beach under the rows of coconut trees, and said with deep feeling: "If we are old in the future, we will also build a villa by the sea and watch the sea every day, how good it would be!" ”

Du Xiaowei said coquettishly: "I don't want to retire here. ”

Li Zhejun asked: "How about going to Sanya?" Give birth to a doll, I will be the principal, and you will be an aunt? Take them to the beach every day to pick up shells, how happy! ”

Du Xiaowei let out a "poof" and forced herself to laugh.

Then, he slapped him the shoulder: "Start to flam your tongue again, be careful that I pinch your ears!" ”

Li Zhejun reflexively covered his ears, but he was not intimidated by her threat. Instead, he added with a serious face: "You think about it, I think this idea is quite good." ”

When Du Xiaowei heard this, she wanted to pluck his ears.

Li Zhejun was already on guard, turned around and flashed to the side. Du Xiaowei went to arrest him again, but Li Zhejun took a step forward and ran forward.

Du Xiaowei chased behind: "Li Zhejun, don't run!" ”

Li Zhejun shouted loudly: "Ah, the beauty is chasing me!" Ah, help! ”

Although the surrounding couples couldn't understand what Li Zhejun was shouting, they could already understand from his smug expression that they were joking.

The two chased each other and soon came to the dock.

There's a small Ferris wheel next to it. Du Xiaowei said: "It's so small, much smaller than the one in Changsha." ”

Li Zhejun said: "Don't look at it small, it's still beautiful at night." And, there are memories of my childhood! Shall we go up and sit down? ”

Du Xiaowei also wanted to experience the feeling of riding the Ferris wheel by the sea, so she agreed without hesitation.

Coming out of the dock, Li Zhejun led Du Xiaowei to go shopping with ease.

It is a pedestrian street.

On both sides of the street, there are bars, restaurants, gift shops, cinemas, you name it.

Compared to the pedestrian streets in China, there is no annoying noise and crowding. Walking down the street, it's a real treat.

After visiting a store called Santa Monica Palace, Li Zhejun bought a lot of gifts for Du Xiaowei.

When I came out, night had fallen.

Du Xiaowei didn't want to play outside for too long, so she went home.

In the next few days, Li Zhejun and Du Xiaowei didn't go anywhere. stayed by Li Haonan's side, chatting, watching TV, and playing cards with him......

Or go for a walk in the yard.

After all, you only see the elderly once a year, and accompanying the elderly is the most important thing.

What's more, it's still the Spring Festival.

See, a few days of vacation is coming to an end.

On the night he left the United States, Li Haonan specially called the two into the study.

He earnestly admonished: "When you go back, you must run the company well." Now, the U.S. is waging a trade war, and a lot of companies are being affected. I'm worried about the ...... of the new company."

Li Zhejun said: "Dad, you don't have to worry, we will run it well." ”

Li Haonan shook his head and said earnestly: "Don't take it lightly...... Perhaps, you haven't felt it yet...... You don't have your own technology...... ZTE is a good example of this. Powerful on the surface, but actually vulnerable...... Therefore, after you go back, you should take precautions and build your own R&D center as soon as possible, and don't be controlled by others......"

Li Zhejun nodded: "Dad, don't worry, the R&D center has been almost built." It will be ready for use in a few years! ”

Li Haonan nodded, looked at Du Xiaowei again and said, "Xiaowei's ability is not below you, you must listen to her opinion if there is anything, don't go your own way!" ”

Li Zhejun nodded again.

"And ......" Li Haonan took a sip of water from his cup: "Recently, I saw the boss of a certain domestic company say in the American media that they are not Chinese companies...... I am heartbroken, you must not do this...... People can't forget their roots, they can't have milk is their mother, and so is the enterprise

So. An enterprise without roots and soul will not last long. ”

Li Haonan paused and said: "It is understandable that he wants to make the company bigger, and he wants to avoid risks. However, businessmen should serve the country with industry and have social responsibility, and they can't just leave! This is also the difference between a boss and an entrepreneur. ”

Finally, he stared at the two of them and said, "Remember, no matter what the circumstances, you must not forget your roots and soul." ”

Li Zhejun and Du Xiaowei both nodded in agreement.

When getting into the car, Li Haonan personally sent the two to the door.

Looking at his father with a concerned face in the cold wind, Li Zhejun choked up and said, "Dad, go back, I will listen to you......"

Du Xiaowei was also teary-eyed.

She thought, father's love is like a mountain, but that's it, right?

Li Haonan insisted on closing the car door for them, and then suddenly leaned into Du Xiaowei's ear and whispered: "I hope that this time next year, you can change your name to my dad." ”

When Du Xiaowei heard this, her face was suddenly covered with red clouds.

After the car started, Li Zhejun asked, "What did my dad tell you?" ”

Du Xiaowei said shyly: "It's nothing, he asked us to report a safe ...... after we arrived in Haizhou."
