After Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang got off the plane at the San Francisco International Airport, they were a little at a loss. At first glance, they were surrounded by white people with blond hair and blue eyes, and occasionally some black people with black hair from head to toe. There were only a few people with the same skin color. According to legend, The voices that reached their ears were all in a foreign language they couldn't understand, and they couldn't tell the specific language.
The old couple had never been abroad in their lives. The farthest place they had ever been was Shencheng. They had never seen such a scene. Even Zhao Meilan, who had a strong temperament, couldn't help but feel a little restrained at this moment. The old couple walked subconsciously. He began to move closer to Su Mingzhe.
A strange country, strange faces, strange language, and strange words. Only by following in the footsteps of the eldest son can we bring such a little bit of safety and happiness to the old couple.
Following the flow of people, Su Mingzhe led his two elders towards the customs hall. There are two types of entry points in the customs hall, one is for American citizens and permanent residents, and the other is for foreigners. Although Su Mingzhe is not yet a U.S. citizen, But having obtained a green card (permanent residence), Su Mingzhe and his parents were naturally at different entry points.
On the occasion of parting, Zhao Meilan's initially dazed expression suddenly became tense, and she grabbed Su Mingzhe who was leaving.
"Mingzhe, please show mom the customs clearance process you went through on the plane again. I can't remember it clearly."
Su Mingzhe stared at his mother in fascination. In his impression, his mother had always been a majestic person, with a strong temperament and great skills. She kept the house in order. This was the first time in so many years that he had seen her like this. The mother's eyes were full of hesitation, helplessness, and fear of the unknown.
"mom!"
Zhao Meilan's weak and helpless look touched the softest part of Su Mingzhe's heart. This call sounded a little choked.
"You just need to hand the note saying "I'm sorry, I don't speak English" to the customs staff later, as well as the letter to the customs, your passport, and the form I compiled.
If they want to ask you a question, don't be nervous. They will find someone who understands Chinese to ask. It is actually very simple to enter the customs, so don't worry. "
Zhao Meilan repeated Su Mingzhe's words while rummaging through the materials. After repeating them several times, she slowly nodded.
Su Mingzhe almost couldn't help but accompany his parents to complete the entry, but when he thought that this was part of the plan, in order to mediate the conflict between his mother and sister as soon as possible and restore the harmony of the family, he still suppressed his heart. I couldn't bear it, and after a few final words, I left my parents' team alone.
The main reason for doing this is to create an atmosphere of isolation and helplessness, so that Zhao Meilan will regard Su Mingzhe as the only life-saving straw. This is the first step to disintegrate Zhao Meilan's strong character. First, implant a kind of evil in her. , the only subconscious mind one can rely on.
If Su Mingzhe is still obedient to his mother and arranges everything very thoughtfully as before, then once Zhao Meilan becomes familiar with the unfamiliar environment, she will return to her true nature and take charge of the family again.
If you want to change Zhao Meilan's character, you must first deprive her of the power of life and death in the family. During these days in the United States, Su Mingzhe must firmly grasp the power of the family and occupy a dominant position.
At the beginning, Li Jie spent a lot of effort to convince Su Mingzhe to accept this plan. After all, in Su Mingzhe's concept, the earth is big and the parents are the biggest. What Li Jie instilled in him was that you are the eldest son of Su and you must protect him. Harmony in the family, and everything planned now, although the process is painful, but for the harmony within the family, all the things experienced now are the price that must be paid.
All the gifts given by fate have already been secretly marked with a price. There is never something for nothing in the world. If you want to get something, you must first learn to pay for it.
Although Su Mingzhe's character has some flaws, he is not stupid. He understands all these principles. He is the kind of person who can't lead him away or fight him. If Li Jie didn't 'force' him from behind, he would never step forward. Don't take this first step.
During the period when he returned to China, Li Jie would contact Su Mingzhe secretly while avoiding Su Mingyu's sight, because Li Jie was really worried. A soft-hearted good man like Su Mingzhe would go out wherever he could if he didn't constantly urge him. If something goes wrong, all the early efforts will be in vain.
Zhao Meilan hugged the document bag filled with information tightly and waited nervously in the queue to enter the customs. Looking at the fierce visa officer, her palms were all sweaty from nervousness. Su Daqiang's performance became even more unbearable. He was depressed from the moment he got off the plane. Without saying a word, she followed Zhao Meilan step by step.
"Su Daqiang, you are really useless!"
Before Zhao Meilan spoke, she secretly glanced at her surroundings and cursed Su Daqiang in a low voice. If she had been in her hometown in China, the sound would have been at least dozens of decibels louder.
Su Daqiang was used to being scolded, so he didn't react at all, his body didn't even tremble, he didn't even raise his eyelids, he still lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhao Meilan couldn't help but feel a little bitter when she saw this, and thought to herself, what a sin, why did you find such a person in the first place? It didn't work at all at the critical moment.
Fortunately, the entry process was very smooth. Su Daqiang and his wife brought nothing with them except one hundred US dollars. The visa officer did not give them much trouble. The scene of being invited into a dark room that is often shown in TV dramas did not appear.
After successfully exiting customs, Su Mingzhe reunited with Su Daqiang and his wife, found two luggage carts nearby and headed to the luggage conveyor belt area.
Zhao Meilan brought a lot of things this time. Even if a lot of things were eliminated later, she still packed three large suitcases.
After waiting for a while, Su Mingzhe took it and saluted. After a period of buffering, Zhao Meilan's mind became active again, and she asked.
"Mingzhe, how can we get to your house later?"
Su Daqiang raised his head for the first time after hearing this, and stared at Su Mingzhe silently with his eyes. Su Daqiang was very concerned about this issue. Deep in his heart, the person he most wanted to pick up the plane was Su Mingyu, although he knew that it was unlikely due to Mingyu's temperament. It will come, but he still has one ten thousandth hope.
Su Mingzhe looked at the expressions on his parents' faces without any trace. Among them, his mother's face was calm and she couldn't figure out what she was thinking. However, his father's eyes were clear and full of concern. He paused for a few seconds before speaking.
"Oh, parents, don't worry, our boss has made arrangements, and my assistant will pick me up later."
Su Mingzhe did not reveal Li Jie's identity to the old couple, which was also part of the plan.
