"I thought you would ask this question when you just came back from the United States, but I didn't expect to wait until now." Shen Long didn't feel surprised, this was not Xiaoxia's confusion alone, but a common problem in the eighties, after the reopening of the country, people suddenly found that European and American countries were so developed, causing huge psychological turmoil.

This phenomenon has had far-reaching effects, some of which even continue to this day, for example, when the real estate market takes off in the future, many developers will follow the eight-character principle of "admiring the foreign and flattering, thick and thin", resulting in foreign names such as Provence and Tuscany everywhere.

The reason is that because the people who had the ability to buy a house at that time grew up during this period, at that time the gap between domestic and foreign countries was too big, everyone mentioned Europe and the United States, instinctively felt that it was tall, and taking a foreign name could meet the psychological expectations of customers, so that they instinctively felt that the quality of the project was good, so that they could save promotion costs.

"I firmly believe that we will be able to see China's re-emergence in our lifetimes, and I have no doubt about that." Shen Long said with great certainty, these are all witnessed by his own eyes, in his time, although there is still a gap between China and Europe and the United States, but not many people regard Europe and the United States as paradise.

"This concept since I took the college entrance examination when I saw those eager to learn eyes, I firmly believe that the current era is the era of science and technology, as long as there are these young people who are eager for knowledge, China will not always lag behind...... "After understanding the prosperity of foreign countries, not everyone is eager to go to the arms of European and American countries.

There are also people who have been stimulated to fight hard and begin to try to catch up, and these people Shen Long has seen a lot when he gave speeches at various universities, and it is precisely because of them that China is slowly catching up......

"You are interviewing everywhere outside, you should have seen more things than me, our country is still poor, and our people are still full of suffering, but you should also see that the environment is different now, this is a poor but vibrant country......" Shen Long said a lot, and he was a little excited.

Compared with the present, and then compared with what he will see in the future, how can Shen Long not be excited? No one knows better than him what has happened in the last 30 years.

Xiaoxia was also gradually infected by his emotions, and slowly convinced his explanation, she looked at Shen Long and smiled, compared with those people who tried to go abroad and vowed to stay in the United States at work and university, his words were simply too fascinating, and he was not empty words, he could have stayed in the United States, but he gave up this opportunity.

"It's like our Sun family! You haven't been to Shuangshui Village and don't know, my dad used to work for the old landlord Jin Guangliang and his father, several generations have been like this, our Sun family is also the poorest family in Shuangshui Village, I couldn't even afford the cheapest C dish when I was in high school in Yuanxi County, and I could only eat African buns at every meal. ”

"If you put it at that time, I'm afraid no one would believe that our Sun family could get up, and it was only a few years of hard work? The Sun family in Shuangshui Village has already become the entire Shuangshui Village, not one of the best families in the entire Shibijie Commune! ”

I say this not to show off, but to prove that as long as people are willing to work hard and can find the right way, success may not be as difficult as you think, for individuals, and for the country! Since the old Sun family, who has been poor for several generations, can get up, why can't our country get up? ”

"I feel so much better to hear you say that!" The smile on Xiaoxia's face also brightened, deep down in her heart, she was also full of confidence in the future of this country and the nation, before she saw the prosperity of the United States, the pressure in her heart made her a little confused, and now it is much better to be guided by Shen Long.

The two sides had the customary kissing farewell ceremony, and then Xiaoxia entered the compound of the prefectural committee, and tomorrow she and Shen Long would return to Shuangshui Village, her hometown that she had never been to.

Shen Long went to Jin Bo's place to spend the night, although he had the money to live in a hotel, but the current atmosphere was like this, if he didn't go to Jin Bo's house, Jin Bo would be angry.

Now Jin Bo no longer lives in the dormitory of the post and telecommunications office, he has made a yard for himself outside, the place is spacious, when Shen Long passed, he had already asked Tsering Yangjin to prepare wine and food, just waiting for him to come back and drink, now Tsering Yangjin is pregnant, and Jin Bo will have a child in a few months.

"Shaoping, you see I'm about to have a child, and you're about to become an uncle, you have to hurry!" At the wine table, Jin Bo asked about Shen Long and Xiaoxia with concern.

"Come on, won't I take Xiaoxia back to Shuangshui Village! By August next year, we'll get married! "Shen Long and Xiaoxia's agreement under the pear tree was in August last year, and next August is exactly the two-year agreed period, and it would be better to get married at that time.

Of course, they still have a hurdle to pass before this, that is, the flood, Xiaoxia's work in the newspaper is different from the original book, and I don't know if she will be sent to that place at that time, but even if she goes, it doesn't matter, Shen Long will definitely be able to keep her safe.

The next day, Jin Bo personally drove Shen Long and Xiaoxia back to Shuangshui Village, pulling Shen Long's things for his family in the carriage, passing by the Shibijie Commune, the black smoke of the Shao'an Brick Factory shrouded half of the sky, at this time no one said anything about pollution, the big guys saw the black smoke enviously, every time the brick factory was busy hiring short-term workers, the young people of the entire Shibijie Commune would rush to sign up, as long as it could be accepted, the money to buy fertilizer this year would be gone.

Based on this alone, the original poorest commune of Shibijie has become the envy of other communes, and even because of these, several girls from other towns have married into Shibijie, which is something that was unimaginable in the past.

By the way, Shao'an also took it, and the group returned to Shuangshui Village, I heard that Shaoping came back with his daughter-in-law, and she was Tian Fujun's daughter-in-law, so the whole village came over to see the excitement.

The old man and his mother were also happy when they heard about it, and hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to prepare food for Xiaoxia, and even the old grandmother laughed.

The villagers paid attention not only to Tian Xiaoxia, but also to those things in the car, in the envious eyes of everyone, Shen Long unloaded the TV from the car, climbed to the big tree at the door to tie the antenna, and then turned on the power and turned on the TV.

"Child, this is your home, the courtyard is elegant, the simplicity shows the style, and the tuba is the Chinese ......" The theme song of "Chen Zhen" immediately sounded.
