Chapter 1236: Homesickness
International airport.
An international flight plane landed slowly.
As the hatch opened, a few bodyguards took the lead in the front, and after everything in front of them was cleared, a person who looked like a chief turned back to the cabin.
Then, an elderly woman, surrounded by her, walked out of the cabin.
From a distance, she was still young, only forty or fifty years old, wearing a dark rose-colored cheongsam, and her hair was meticulously groomed.
Looking closer, it can be seen that this woman is no longer young, the skin on her cheeks is loose, there are wrinkles on her forehead and eyes, and her black hair is all dyed.
Behind her, there was a young girl in her twenties, tall and tall, wearing a small dress with a good texture at first glance, looking at the strange land under her feet with an arrogant expression.
"Grandmother, this place doesn't look good." The girl pouted in displeasure.
But the woman who walked in front was extremely excited, and her lips were trembling slightly.
This has been gone for decades, although I also know the various changes in the country from the mouths of old friends, but this is always touching to see with my own eyes.
"It's good, it's really good, it's kind to look at." The woman in front replied.
This woman is He Meng'an, who has an agreement with Bai Peide.
And she is followed by her most beloved granddaughter, Nancy.
Outside the airport, several cars were already waiting.
This is the staff arranged by Hu Zhizhong, who is responsible for the reception, and Hu Zhizhong himself has gone abroad with Lan Yin, although he is old and no longer performs the operation himself, but it is still necessary to press the formation on the side and do some on-site guidance.
The staff knew that this was to pick up a returned overseas Chinese.
Thinking about these years, these overseas Chinese have also made a lot of contributions to the country, and the staff still admires them very much.
Just like the lyrics of that song sing, although I wear a dress, my heart is still a Chinese heart, and I can't change it no matter if I am in another country, my Chinese heart.
According to the prior agreement, the staff arranged five cars to pick them up.
This car is already the highest specification car here, and what the reception staff thought was that the people who returned to China this time were many overseas Chinese who came back together, so they wanted so many cars.
But in the end, the staff here learned that there was only one overseas Chinese, and there were more, all of them were accompanying people.
Good long.
The staff watched the group of people walking towards this side, and felt that this pomp and circumstance was really big.
He didn't know He Meng'an, he didn't know at all, the He family, now abroad, has flourished, in addition to being quite influential among the Chinese, the younger generations have gradually integrated into the upper class society and have a considerable right to speak.
He Meng'an has raised five sons and four daughters all his life.
Such a number seems so incredible today, but in their time, it is completely normal to have so many children, and the so-called more children and more blessings have always been the same truth.
At that time, it was extremely normal for an ordinary family to have six or seven children.
First, there is no contraceptive measure, and secondly, various diseases and accidental deaths are high, and only by having more children can we ensure the derivation of life.
Just like Bai Peide, he had to have seven or eight children, but he died two young, and in the end, he now has three sons and one daughter.
It's just that He Meng'an stayed abroad, and the medical treatment abroad a few decades ago was naturally much better than that in China, and her several children survived healthily, and then spread out, and the family became more and more huge.
Among her grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren, there are many mixed-race children, and she can't remember how many grandchildren there are, but she likes Nancy very much, just because Nancy is still of authentic Chinese ancestry, a typical Oriental face, and has a few looks like He Meng'an when he was young.
He Mengan is willing to take Nancy with him, and it is also from Nancy's body that he can see his shadow back then.
"Hello, Ms. He, right?" The staff asked politely.
The one who asked them to pick it up was an old lady of seventy or eighty years old, but this lady did not seem to be seventy or eighty years old, and the staff naturally asked more questions out of caution.
"Yes." He Meng'an replied.
After so many years abroad, she has always spoken a foreign language, and when she returned to China at first time, the two sentences of Chinese spoken were a little ambiguous, but He Mengan was very willing to speak Chinese, which made her feel cordial.
"Hello, Ms. He." Seeing that the identity was confirmed, the staff bent down and bowed, and explained, "Mr. Hu Zhizhong has received a temporary task in the past few days to go abroad to participate in an academic exchange. He wants us to convey his apologies and hopes you don't get angry. ”
He Meng'an smiled easily and didn't mind.
She was in such a hurry to return to China, and she was not in a hurry to meet Hu Zhizhong, she was happy that Hu Zhizhong could receive her in person, but Hu Zhizhong was not available, and she had nothing to be angry about.
Now that we are old, we have made achievements in various fields, and we always have our own things to do.
"It's okay." He Mengan expressed what she meant, "I came back in a hurry by myself, and I didn't make an appointment in advance, so I don't blame him." I also want to come back and take a look first, it won't affect it. ”
The older the person gets, the more anxious the homesickness becomes.
What's more, now that she has learned the news of Bai Peide, she is naturally anxious to meet Bai Peide.
After all, I'm old, and I'm old, maybe I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow morning if I sleep tonight.
The staff was secretly relieved to see that He Mengan was so reasonable.
The convoy drove all the way to the Overseas Chinese Hotel here.
Along the way, Nancy looked out the window with some dissatisfaction.
All this, compared to the ones she had abroad, was really much worse, and I really didn't understand why my grandmother had to bring herself along.
Look, the car in which I sit is more than one or two grades worse than the car I usually go in and out of.
Also, the streets outside really look terrible, full of people.
In the midst of such complaints, the vehicle arrived at the Overseas Chinese Hotel.
It has been more than ten years since the construction of the Overseas Chinese Hotel. The purpose of the original construction was to receive these returned overseas Chinese, and it was originally built according to the three-star standard.
At that time, the domestic standard, three-star standard, is already very good, with all kinds of spacious and comfortable rooms, including standard single and double rooms, deluxe single and double rooms, luxury suites and business suites, with Chinese and Western restaurants, cafes, business centers, health saunas, shopping malls and other supporting service facilities, can be said to be very perfect.
