The feeling of driving a car is indeed different. Holding the steering wheel, Jiang Hua feels like the world is at his feet.
After Zhang Kai's guidance all the way, the car drove out of the DC Special Economic Zone. It took more than two hours and it still didn't reach its destination.
Jiang Hua asked, "Master, where are we running to?"
Although he was very happy to drive for the first time, he was also very tired due to all his concentration and had to speak.
"Not far away, there is a small farm. The owner of the farm is one of our compatriots. Let's go visit it."
"OK."
Jiang Hua drove intently, and after a while asked, "Why do we have to visit him?"
"He used to be a well-known figure in the circle of Chinese compatriots. Now his son is doing very well in business. It is necessary to get along with him."
Jiang Hua asked while driving: "Master, what is your usual work? Why do you still visit these people?"
Zhang Kai leaned on the co-pilot and said: "In our current situation, there are too many things we can't do. We can only maintain good relations with all walks of life in Chou Country, promote ourselves on various occasions, and let them know more about us. No matter how high-end That’s not something we can do.”
Under Zhang Kai's guidance, Jiang Hua drove into a small farm. The area was not large, with 180 acres of land. He did not grow food, but grew vegetables, flowers and the like.
The farm was very quiet, so people in the house could clearly hear the sound of a car driving in. Two people came out of the house not far from the gate.
Before Jiang Hua could turn off the engine, the two men had already come up to him. Jiang Hua stopped the car, and Zhang Kai had already gotten out of the car and walked over.
Zhang Kai held the old man's hand and said enthusiastically: "Oh, Mr. Zhao, I am flattered that you went out to greet him personally."
The old man also said happily: "Mr. Zhang, you are distinguished guests, why don't you go out to welcome them? Please come in, I have already prepared tea for you."
He led Zhang Kai and the others into the room. They had indeed made tea, but it was black tea and from Tianzhu. This is understandable. Our foreign trade is not big now. Chou Country doesn’t import much green tea, so we can’t buy it. It is also normal to drink green tea.
After everyone sat down, Zhang Kai said: "Mr. Zhao, this is my colleague named Jiang Hua. Jiang Hua. Mr. Zhao was once a professor in the Ivy League. Now after retirement, he runs this farm around the Special Administrative Region."
Jiang Hua was also so happy that he said: "The professor from the Ivy League is incredible. He turns out to be a great intellectual. I am really ignorant."
The old man poured tea into the teacups in front of them and said happily: "Actually, since you established yourself in the Special Administrative Region, I have always wanted to visit my compatriots in the motherland, but I didn't have the courage."
The old man paused and said: "I studied biology back then and did not return to China for my own research. Now that I am old, I have begun to regret it. I want to visit you, but I can't let go of this old face. My wife has repeatedly said You encouraged me, so I had the courage to call you, but I didn’t expect you to come to see me, which made me feel ashamed.”
Zhang Kai said: "There's nothing embarrassing about this. We are all compatriots. It's good that you can still think of us."
Jiang Hua spoke up and said, "Yes, we all share the same blood, otherwise we wouldn't say such unreasonable things."
Mr. Zhao was obviously a little excited. He pulled Zhang Kai and said a lot of homesickness. In fact, Jiang Hua felt a little disdainful in his heart. When he was young, you didn't come to contribute. Now that you are homesick, you pulled us to say such painful words. ,What is the use.
Zhang Kai is definitely a qualified intimate sister. He listened to the old man's narration without feeling bored at all. He also chatted with him about the new situation in the country and told him about the exciting achievements the country has made in recent years.
Jiang Hua could only beat the drum and occasionally add a few words.
After chatting for most of the day, Zhang Kai said goodbye. Mr. Zhao was a little too excited and could not continue chatting.
Of course, Mr. Zhao definitely wanted to offer to have guests for dinner, but Zhang Kai politely refused. Mr. Zhao sent them out of the farm regardless of his physical discomfort.
On the road, Jiang Hua was still driving, and Zhang Kai took a pen to write and draw in his notebook.
After a while, Zhang Kai put away his notebook and said, "The look on your face just now made you feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Hua nodded: "When we were poor, he refused to go back for the sake of his career. Now that we have straightened our backs and talked loudly, he told us about his homesickness. Isn't this nonsense!"
Zhang Kai smiled and said: "Not everyone can be selfless. You have to allow this. If you don't tell others, it's just you and me. We may have small selfish motives."
Jiang Hua was speechless. He must have selfish motives, and they were not too young.
"As long as he still recognizes the motherland, then we will accept him and unite all the forces that can be united. We can still treat foreigners with courtesy, but why can't we be compatriots? At least they have not betrayed their ancestors."
Jiang Hua nodded: "I understand."
Zhang Kai pointed at Jiang Hua and said with a smile: "You are still young and lack of exercise."
"I will study harder."
The car drove for a while, and Zhang Kai suddenly said: "Do you know what Mr. Zhao is studying?"
Jiang Hua shook his head and said, "I don't know. You didn't give me the information. I don't understand anything at all."
"He is a biologist who studies spiders. Do you understand?"
Jiang Hua suddenly realized: "Oh, even if he returned to his motherland twenty years ago, there would be basically no use for him unless he changed his major."
Love reading books
"Yes, he stayed in Chou Country to do research and made great achievements in spider research. Now we have gained a compatriot who is quite prestigious and has a good impression of us."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "Master, if you say so, we will definitely make a profit from this business."
"Yes, we maintain the goodwill of these compatriots and at the same time do a good job in publicity to the ordinary ugly people. This is the focus of our work."
As the car turned into the station, Zhang Kai said, "You can rest after you park the car. I'll report on my work."
Jiang Hua happily went to park the car. After parking the car, he first saw the logistics staff wiping the car. So he took off his coat, picked up the rag and helped wipe the car together. Anyway, Zhang Kai also said that he could rest after parking the car.
Zhang Kai reported work on the second floor. The leader stood at the window and happened to see Jiang Hua and his comrades in the logistics cleaning the car together.
The leader asked casually: "Is this young man okay?"
Zhang Kai also stood at the window, saw Jiang Hua working hard, and said with a smile: "He has a flexible mind and high patriotic enthusiasm. He is a good young man."
