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, he also gave each employee a certain amount of time each month to make domestic calls at public expense.
But just making phone calls cannot replace the companionship spent day and night.
Therefore, after being busy outside for nearly a year, none of the migrant workers who came to Tokyo with Ning Weimin did not want to go home as soon as possible.
It started from the annual party on January 26, until they finally set foot on the capital airport.
There is only one theme left in these people's minds - go home for the New Year.
So that whether they are eating, drinking, going to the toilet, going 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 unrecoverable 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 did I come back, but I also came back with a full load.
He brought back rich gifts to his family and 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? This is not to jump in and 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 so ridiculous..."
"Oh, look at my son! He's grown a lot. Why? You don't even know your father anymore? I bought you a big car with a remote control..."
They are all the lucky pride of the East and the heroes of every ordinary family here!
A kind of heartfelt pride and self-confidence took over their souls.
As a result, 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 tell you, where do these people come from?"
"Little Japan."
"It's not like that, I didn't hear them speaking Chinese. Or maybe they are overseas Chinese from the Philippines who have returned to visit relatives?"
"It's not like that. These people are not that dark, and look at their suitcases..."
"Oh, those with hub wheels are really new. They can't all be American overseas Chinese, right?"
"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 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.
Or 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 say, "Mr. Ning, I wish you and Miss Qingzi a speedy marriage. We are looking forward to the wedding banquet."
To describe this scene appropriately, it is like the mafia cadres worshiping the young godfather in the American movie "The 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 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.
So it is conceivable that 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 way, anyone who is not a fool can't see the relationship between the two.
As a result, these returned employees of Tan Gong Restaurant became the first group of people to gain insight into their love affair.
There was really a lot of gossip to be had along the way.
This group of people put their heads together and analyzed and studied all of Ning Weimin's original attempts to conceal the truth.
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 does it mean to be a capable person? This is it!
Not only did he make a lot of money from the Japanese with them, he also did not delay his own affairs.
He actually abducted someone else's "most beautiful woman" without a word.
As expected of Mr. Ning!
What an idol to everyone!
So awesome!
So in this situation, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko can only be the last to leave. There is no other way.
However, this burden of two people accepting everyone's blessings together 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 early.
They had been waiting at a distance, because they saw Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko being put off by the stars, and they did not dare to rush forward to disturb them.
Finally, the crowd dispersed, and only a young couple and their luggage were left in the same 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 also waved and shouted.
Both of their voices were trembling, and they were particularly excited.
If not for anything else, it’s 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.
If you want to get close but don't know how to get close, you are afraid and in love at the same time.
Saw!
Ning Weimin turned around and saw them.
Ning Weimin looked at them, smiled, waved, gently held Matsumoto Keiko's hand, and then pointed at them.
"You are back!"
When Luo Guangliang came closer, he took the initiative to rush to his luggage, looking honest and hard-working.
Ning Weimin was not polite to him and handed the box in Qingzi's hand directly to him with a smile.
"Hello, Miss Keiko!"
Because I had sat at the same table with Matsumoto Keiko and had dinner before, we were no longer strangers to each other.
Luo Guangliang smiled and said hello politely.
"Hello, third... third brother..."
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 didn't need to ask or give in. She ran to Ning Weimin in a few steps, held his hand and said, "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome. Warmly welcome you to come."
Ning Weimin frowned after hearing this and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
I just thought this word sounded familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.
After thinking about it for a while, he let out a happy "Puch" sound, and then said angrily.
"Girl, why do you still use this word when you see me? Could it be that I am a foreign guest?"
Mi Xiaohui's big eyes never left Matsumoto Keiko ever since she ran over.
At this time, he was also confused. When Ning Weimin said this, he felt as if he had just woken up from a nap.
Only then did I realize that I had made a fool of myself in my excitement.
He looked at Ning Weimin, then at the Japanese star, and 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 when she heard that you were coming back, she decided to come no matter what.
Xiao Tao was so worried about picking you up at the airport that she had no choice but to let her do it."
Ning Weimin immediately understood what was going on.
So in order to make this girl happy, 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. Oh, by the way, she is still your little movie fan. She felt uncomfortable not seeing you last time.
"
Then he 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 star chasing time? There is no store like this in this village!"
"
Under such an introduction, both Matsumoto Keiko and Mi Xiaohui laughed.
The only difference is that Keiko Matsumoto has a very generous and kind smile.
Mi Xiaohui, on the other hand, has the shyness of a girl, a little restrained, and 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 your compliment. I'm glad to meet you and I'm glad to hear that you like my performance. You are also very beautiful."
"Then... can you sign your name for me?"
"Of course, I'm honored. If you want, it's okay for us to take a photo together."
"Really, that... that's great, I'm so happy."
Matsumoto Keiko was very patient with Mi Xiaohui, who was a little incoherent.
Probably because of Ning Weimin, Aiwujiwuxia, Matsumoto Keiko not only satisfied 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.
To her, being able to get along so closely with Matsumoto Keiko was like a dream.
In particular, she also discovered that this big star had no airs at all, and was neither squeamish nor picky.
This further strengthened her star-chasing heart.
So the little girl secretly made a decision. From now on, only Matsumoto Keiko will be ranked number one among the Japanese female stars 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'm afraid of everything.
Even serious celebrities are not picky about anything, they ride in cars that look like "big shoes", and they don't mind the wind and sand in the capital.
My sister behaved like the Queen Mother of the West, arrogant and picky when she came back.
I don't like this, I don't like that, I just praise the United States.
What is this thing? 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 that "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 a person's "gold content" is.
As for 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 along with the old man's treasures.
Just wait until he arrives at the place and settle it by himself.
In other words, no important objects will be placed in Shan'er Hutong from now on.
Logically speaking, this is of course a good thing.
Ma's Garden is a large place with a newly renovated and exquisitely constructed garden. Even the facilities in the house are top-notch.
Water supply, heating, even boiler, kitchen, ice cellar, toilet, bathing area, whatever you need is available.
In fact, Ning Weimin had long wanted to take Matsumoto Keiko to have a good look at it, so that she could see what a truly good house was in a private house in the capital, and let her appreciate the unique Chinese art of courtyards and landscaping.
But the problem is, he is really afraid that the banquet will not be a good one.
What if the old man's bad temper comes back again and he forces them to break up in person?
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 about it. 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. Besides, the old man is a kind-hearted man. Since he asked me to drag you all over,
It’s not just to embarrass you and keep you from coming to power.”
These words clarified Ning Weimin's point of view.
Yes, it’s hard to find it, and it can’t be this day.
Okay, then go ahead and go.
At worst, I'll give him the Song Dynasty tea cup passed down from Qingzi's family.
Only when you are willing to give up can you gain something.
I would not hesitate to give up such a rare treasure just to get a wife. I am embarrassed to disagree, right?
Thinking of this, Ning Weimin felt much 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. ()
