Chapter 486: 486 Episode
What did I say back then? I said it wasn't my country anymore.
The woman just now was right, am I really a running dog and traitor? Otherwise, how could I have said such things back then. It really makes one feel cold.
Now I always remember those looks of disdain from a few classmates at that time.
As I get older, I just think about going home, wanting to go home to take a look.
But here, they claim freedom and equality, yet my application simply won't go through.
Shen Zhigang stands here dazed, with only discomfort left in his heart. Even kids look down on me.
This life is truly a failure, what am I really after?
Su Yuanyuan doesn't care about his fragile heart. This is his own choice. Honestly speaking, we're all adults, what's the point of such actions now?
The four ladies arrived at the hotel. Lu Jianjun looked at all the books they bought, "Xiao Su, you can't take these books back."
"Let's give it a try."
At this moment, a middle-aged woman around thirty came over.
"Comrade, is it okay to go out?"
Su Yuanyuan honestly shook her head, "Not really, it's very chaotic here, robberies can be seen frequently."
This made the woman stop talking, she's really feeling uncomfortable here. Watching those four ladies go out again and again, how could she not be envious?
But after hearing them say that, she really didn't have the courage to go out.
Lu Jianjun informed everyone that there would be a dinner hosted by local officials that night.
Su Yuanyuan didn't care. She took the kids into the room. The four of them lay on the bed, and she didn't let the kids sleep.
Instead, she gave them some fruit and had them play for a while.
About ten officials came in the evening, and Su Yuanyuan wasn't interested in any of them, even with five interpreters around.
The four ladies ate dinner in silence; though they didn't like the food, they had to eat their fill.
At this moment, a middle-aged man came over. He greeted Su Yuanyuan with a gentlemanly smile.
She just smiled politely, and then a young interpreter came over.
The three children, having eaten their fill, just watched the man.
The interpreter waited for Su Yuanyuan to speak, but she just smiled earlier and then continued eating her food.
"Comrade?"
Su Yuanyuan frowned and glanced at the interpreter.
The three children knew that their mom was unhappy.
So Qi Yan stood up and spoke to the foreigner with a smile.
"Wow, such a young child speaks our language so fluently; it's really impressive."
By this time, Su Yuanyuan had finished eating, put down her knife and fork, and stood up.
"Thank you for the compliment." Her foreign language was also fluent.
"Madam, you are really impressive. How did you learn your foreign language?"
"Just learned from those who know foreign languages." That's exactly how it was.
Seeing their mom stand up, the other two kids also stood up.
"Sorry, the kids are still young, so I won't participate in the rest."
As she said this, she held her daughter's hand and nodded as she left.
Watching this woman leave gracefully, both the interpreter and the official felt a bit embarrassed.
Su Yuanyuan didn't care about them. The four ladies headed directly back to their room.
Qi Yan stood by his mom's side. "Mom, should I not have spoken?"
Su Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow, "Why do you ask?"
"Just felt like, I was worried I overstepped."
Su Yuanyuan ruffled her eldest son's hair. "It's okay, Qi Yan did very well; no need to worry. You stepping in prevented others from thinking we're rude."
The official outside was very interested in watching Su Yuanyuan's back; she truly was a very unique woman.
Many people were paying attention to them. Seeing Su Yuanyuan like that, many people thought in their hearts that she was too arrogant; after all, this was in a foreign country, and he was an official.
"Sir, who is this lady?"
"I'm not too sure either." Even if he knew, he wouldn't say. It's a matter of discipline, right? Even if dissatisfied, they know it's abroad, and they are citizens of one country.
The foreign official smiled and went to chat with others.
Su Yuanyuan didn't care how others saw her. She didn't like dealing with foreigners; in her past life, she had foreign pursuers, and to her, they all seemed hypocritical.
Don't even mention gentlemanly demeanor or respecting women; in Su Yuanyuan's eyes, it's all hypocrisy.
In this life, she wouldn't have any interactions with them.
Actually, now she even questioned why she came. Taking on such a big risk?
Probably because she wanted the family to be together. That must be it, otherwise, it couldn't be explained.
After returning, Su Yuanyuan read to them an introduction about planes, mostly about the origins and some general info.
"Mom, weren't our origins earlier? Didn't we have kites?"
They still remembered when Tan Shaoting took them to fly kites.
"Haha, you can say that. Actually, we're very clever; look, we invented gunpowder, we just didn't take it further."
The next day, the four ladies went out again, this time shopping from store to store.
There was actually another banquet today, but Su Yuanyuan declined; it wasn't about not being sociable but rather about not liking it.
Although this was against the rules, after reporting it, the higher-ups agreed, so Su Yuanyuan continued to take the kids out shopping.
"Mom, why are they all looking at us?" Qi Wen was really helpless, she hated being watched.
Su Yuanyuan laughed, "Because in their eyes, we're also foreigners?"
Seeing new and unavailable things, they still bought them, and the shopping was quite fruitful.
Su Yuanyuan also bought some seeds and wheat seeds, wanting Hu Chunhua and the others to try them out, maybe they could succeed.
If handed over to the technicians, maybe they could research and develop improved seeds.
The kids liked the fast food here, but they really didn't like the drinks.
The four ladies didn't return at noon; they just wandered outside.
This was the reason Su Yuanyuan agreed to come. She wanted the kids to see the outside world.
Actually, she felt a bit like making a detour; they hadn't properly toured the Capital with the kids yet.
Staying in the garrison every day actually limited the four of them.
The training of the cultural troupe in the garrison had already ended. Yu Haibin was about to cry, finally over. Goodness, their team had completely transformed.
Now, they're not delicate anymore. The girls all had a bit of vigor. The feeling was just different.
After this day ended, Miao Xiaotong stepped forward, walked to the front, bowed to everyone, and said sorry.
Now, everyone no longer had the same grievances towards her as before, but they still weren't very comfortable about it. This bow relieved everyone a bit.
