Whether they are in a different place or a foreign country, migrant workers have one thing in common: they miss their families all the time.
Even though Ning Weimin installed a telephone in his employee dormitory in Tokyo that could make international long-distance calls at any time, each employee was given a certain amount of time every month to make domestic calls at public expense.
But just making phone calls cannot replace the companionship of being together day and night.
So after being busy outside for nearly a year, none of the migrant workers who followed Ning Weimin to Tokyo didn't want to go home quickly.
It started from the New Year’s Party on January 26, until they finally set foot on the Capital Airport.
There is only one theme left in these people’s minds—going home for the New Year.
So that whether they are eating, drinking, going to the toilet, shopping, shopping, or even sitting on an airplane.
Everyone’s words are inseparable from their parents, wife, children, and even seven aunts, eight aunts, nine uncles and ten masters.
The closer I get to home, the more I miss home.
On January 28, 1987, at 11:15 on New Year’s Eve, when they finally flew from Narita Airport to Beijing, they were reunited at the airport with their family members who picked them up.
The sadness and the hard-to-recover fatigue that had been in my heart for the past year were finally resolved, and I finally let go.
Yes, they are all back in full glory!
Not only came back, but also came back with a full load.
Brought back rich gifts to his family and brought back wealth unimaginable to ordinary people.
So it was completely different from those close relatives who were immediately excited and even cried with joy when they saw them.
These people all had smiles on their faces and were in good spirits. They comforted their loved ones in a very calm manner, pretending to be relaxed and saying soothing words.
"Why are you crying? It's so bad to celebrate the New Year. Dad, Mom, I'm not coming back now? I'm not going to jump in the queue to settle down. My son has brought you a lot of things..."
"Ah, if I had known you were going to cry, I wouldn't have let you come. Damn it, I said it's almost done, this is such a joke..."
"Oh, look at my son! You’ve grown up a lot. What? You don’t even know your father anymore? I bought you a big car with a remote control..."
They are all lucky people from the East, and they are everyone here. A hero for ordinary families!
A kind of deep-seated pride and confidence took over their souls.
So much so that this scene of warm and joyful reunion of relatives has become a unique Western scene at the Capital Airport.
Not to mention those foreigners who have never seen such a returning team, not even the airport staff have seen it.
Some staff looked puzzled and muttered privately.
“Hey, let me say, where do these people come from?”
"Little Japan."
"It doesn't look like it. I didn't hear them speaking Chinese. Or maybe they are overseas Chinese from the Philippines who returned to visit relatives?"
"It doesn't look like it either. These people It's not that dark, and look at their suitcases..."
"Oh, the ones with wheel wheels, they can't be all Chinese Americans, right?"
< br>“Don’t tell me, look at these big and small bags, how rich they are, it’s kind of interesting...”
However, although others may look confused, these people who have returned from Japan know clearly in their hearts where such visible and fulfilling happiness comes from.
So even if they can disband and leave after arriving in the capital, these people will still have to say hello to the noble man who made them rich and their good leader before leaving.
Either shake hands with enthusiasm and say with deep gratitude, "Mr. Ning, I wish you success in your work in the coming year and all your wishes come true."
Or just nod with an affectionate smile. , and said the last sentence, "Mr. Ning, I wish you and Miss Qingzi a happy marriage soon. We are waiting for the wedding banquet."
To describe this scene appropriately, it is almost like the American movie "The Godfather" "In ", those mafia cadres worshiped the young godfather.
There is one more thing to say here.
During this trip, the relationship between Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko was no longer a secret to those who were on the same flight with them.
Because Ning Weimin returned to China with so many subordinates, it was difficult for him to be special. He still couldn't fly first class or business class, and bought economy class.
Qingzi, who was traveling with him, also volunteered to downgrade his consumption and insisted on accompanying him.
As you can imagine, these two people sat together in the economy class and talked and behaved very intimately.
In addition, when she was sleepy, Matsumoto Keiko unconsciously rested her head on Ning Weimin's shoulder.
In this case, as long as he is not a fool, no one can see the relationship between the two.
Thus, these returned employees of Tan Gong Restaurant became the first group of people to gain insight into their love affair.
There was so much gossip along the way.
This group of people brainstormed and analyzed and studied Ning Weimin's original tricks.
I gained a new understanding of Ning Weimin's secretiveness.
Of course, no one would object to such a surprise.
On the contrary, everyone was inexplicably impressed and even excited about it.
Look, what is a capable person? This is it!
Not only did he make a lot of money from the Japanese with them, but he also did not delay his own affairs.
He actually abducted someone else's "number one beauty" quietly.
As expected of Mr. Ning!
What a idol for everyone!
Awesome!
So in this situation, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko can only be the last ones to leave. There is no other way.
However, this burden of two people receiving blessings from everyone is undoubtedly pleasant and relaxing.
I don’t know why, but when I saw the eyes of those employees and their families, I felt truly grateful.
Ning Weimin felt no secret joy at being in the limelight, but felt an inexplicable sense of fulfillment.
…………
Luo Guangliang and Mi Xiaohui, who came to pick them up at the airport, had actually arrived long ago.
They had been waiting at a distance, because they saw Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko being daunted by the stars, and did not dare to rush forward to disturb them.
Finally, they saw the crowd dispersed. , only a young couple and their luggage were left in place.
Luo Guangliang then took Mi Xiaohui to greet him.
"Wei Min! Wei Min!"
In order to let Ning Weimin see him quickly, Luo Guangliang shouted loudly from a distance.
"Brother Weimin!" Mi Xiaohui waved and shouted.
Both of their voices were trembling, and they were particularly excited.
Not for anything else, just because Ning Weimin has a big star next to him.
And he is also a Japanese star.
In this era, for ordinary people like them, celebrities are born with a certain aura of divinity.
Wanting to get close but not knowing how to get close is a combination of fear and love.
Saw it!
Ning Weimin turned around and saw them.
Ning Weimin looked at them, smiled, waved, gently pulled Matsumoto Keiko's hand, and then pointed at them.
“You are back!”
Luo Guangliang walked closer and took the initiative to rush to his luggage, looking honest and hard-working.
Ning Weimin was not polite to him. He smiled and handed the box in Qingzi's hand directly to him.
"Hello, Miss Keiko!"
Because I once sat at the same table as Matsumoto Keiko and had dinner, we are no longer strangers to each other. Luo Guangliang smiled and said hello politely.
"Hello, San... Sange..."
Sure enough, Matsumoto Keiko still remembered her without any pretense.
Not only did he answer in somewhat jerky Chinese, but he also bowed formally.
Luo Guangliang immediately smiled like a sunflower and scratched his head in embarrassment.
But Mi Xiaohui ran to Ning Weimin without asking or giving in. She held his hand and said, "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome. Warmly welcome you to come."
Ning Weimin frowned and was stunned for a moment.
I just feel that this word sounds familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.
After thinking about it for a while, he let out a "poof" of joy, and then said annoyance.
"You girl, how come you still use this word when you see me? Could it be that I am a foreign guest."
Since he ran over, his big eyes never left Matsumoto. Mi Xiaohui from Qingzi.
At this time, he was also confused. When Ning Weimin said this, he felt like he had just woken up from a nap.
It was then that I realized that I had made a fool of myself in my excitement.
Looking at Ning Weimin, then at the Japanese star, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue.
In Japanese terms, this emoticon is very "kawaii".
Ning Weimin was immediately amused by the little girl's embarrassment.
Although Keiko Matsumoto didn't understand what was going on, she saw that Mi Xiaohui was a very innocent girl and liked her very much, so she also smiled.
At this time, Luo Guangliang leaned into Ning Weimin's ear and whispered the inside story.
"This girl came here to see the stars. Last time you left, she couldn't see Xiaoxia in "March of Kamata" with her own eyes. She has been regretful and depressed for a long time. This time she heard that you are back , she insisted on picking you up at the airport, Xiao Tao was so frightened by her, he had to let her go."
Ning Weimin immediately understood what was going on.
So in order to help this girl, he took the initiative to introduce Matsumoto Keiko.
"Qingzi, this is my neighbor's child. We live in the same courtyard. She can also be regarded as my sister. Ah, by the way, she is still your little movie fan. I didn't see you last time, and she felt uncomfortable. "
He then touched the top of Mi Xiaohui's head and said, "Really? So if you have any requests, just ask them quickly. Don't blame me for not reminding you. This is your private time to chase stars? But this store doesn’t exist anymore!”
With this introduction, both Matsumoto Keiko and Mi Xiaohui laughed.
The only difference is that Matsumoto Keiko has a very generous and kind smile.
Mi Xiaohui, on the other hand, has the shyness of a girl, a little restrained, and still a little bit unable to let go.
"I have seen your movie. "Putian March" is a sobering and thought-provoking work. I really like your role as Xiaoxia, but... you... you are so beautiful in person, even more beautiful than in the movie. . ”
“Thank you for the compliment. I’m glad to meet you, and I’m glad to hear that you like my performance.”
“That’s okay. Can you sign your name for me?”
“Of course, I’d be honored. If you want, it’s okay for us to take a photo together.”
“Really, that’s great. ”
Keiko Matsumoto is very patient with Mi Xiaohui, who is a bit incoherent.
Probably because of Ning Weimin, Aiwujiwuxia, Matsumoto Keiko not only met Mi Xiaoran's requirements, but also answered all her questions very carefully.
Even soon, she and Mi Xiaohui sat in the back row of the car.
In this way, Mi Xiaohui, who got her wish, also became a flower.
Being able to get along so closely with Matsumoto Keiko seemed like a dream to her.
In particular, she also discovered that this big star had no airs at all, and was neither squeamish nor picky.
This strengthened her star-chasing heart.
So the little girl secretly made a decision. From now on, only Keiko Matsumoto will be the number one Japanese female star in her mind.
But there is also a side effect, that is, Mi Xiaohui, who has met big stars, can't stand her sister even more.
Because I am afraid of comparison in everything.
Even serious celebrities don't find anything picky, they ride in cars that look like "big shoes", and they don't mind the wind and sand in the capital.
My sister behaves like the Queen Mother of the West, arrogant and picky when she comes back.
I don’t like this, I don’t like that, I just praise the United States.
What is this? Who is the foreigner?
I have to say that the closer Mi Xiaohui gets to Matsumoto Keiko, the more she feels beautiful, amiable and exquisite in everything.
It completely violates the law of "distance creates beauty".
But at the same time, I also felt more clearly that my sister had become narrow-minded and stingy.
He is no longer the person he is familiar with.
This inevitably made her a little disappointed and sad, and she understood what is the "gold content" of a person.
After getting on the bus, of course Luo Guangliang also revealed the news that he would have to change places to celebrate the Spring Festival this year, which surprised Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko.
Only then did they realize that this year, because Mi Xiaoran came back to visit relatives, the Mi family's house was not enough.
The old man packed up the house with Luo Guangliang and lent it to the Mi family for a few days.
So I didn’t spend New Year’s Eve in No. 2 Courtyard of Shan’er Hutong. The old man made the decision and moved to the small courtyard of Majia Garden.
Ning Weimin’s most important stamps have now been moved there together with the old man’s treasures.
Just wait until he gets to the place and settle it by himself.
In other words, there will no longer be any important objects placed in Shan'er Hutong.
Logically speaking, this is of course a good thing.
The Majia Garden is a large place, and there is a newly renovated large garden with exquisite architecture. Even the facilities in the house are top-notch.
Water supply, heating, even boiler, kitchen, ice cellar, toilet, bathing place, whatever you need is available.
Ning Weimin has actually long wanted to take Matsumoto Keiko to have a good look at it, let her see what a truly good house is in a private house in the capital, and let her appreciate the Chinese people’s efforts in courtyards and landscaping. unique art.
But the problem is, he is really afraid that the feast will not be a good one.
What if the old man’s bad temper comes back again and he forces them to break up face to face?
Ning Weimin couldn't help but frown with worry. Sitting in the passenger seat, he subconsciously turned to look at Matsumoto Keiko in the back seat.
Luo Guangliang seemed to be aware of Ning Weimin's concerns and comforted him while driving.
"Don't think too much. The old man just wants to have a good meal today. As long as you don't mention it, he won't necessarily mention it. And the old man is a kind-hearted person. Since he asked me I won’t drag you all here just to embarrass you and make you unable to get off the stage.”
These words clarified Ning Weimin's point.
Yeah, it’s really hard to find, and it can’t be this day.
Okay, then go ahead.
The worst case scenario is to give him the Song Dynasty tea cup passed down from Qingzi’s family.
Be willing to give up, only by giving up can you gain.
I would not hesitate to give up such a rare treasure just to change my wife. I am embarrassed to disagree, right?
Thinking of this, Ning Weimin felt a lot more at ease, and he turned to look at Qingzi again.
The two looked at each other.
As if she understood what he was thinking, Keiko smiled at him with a trusting expression. (End of this chapter)
