Some people dream of going abroad, and once they go out, they never want to come back.
I wish I could get my green card earlier and move overseas.
But some people are just the opposite, and are quite content to stay abroad.
But I have never mistakenly regarded this country as my hometown, and I will always remember that I am a descendant of China.
If Zhou Manna and Shui Lan can be classified into the first category of people.
Then the Shoucheng couple are examples of the latter.
Due to the remarkable curative effect, there are more and more repeat customers looking for Shouzhen in massage parlors.
There are even people who are willing to follow his advice and receive acupuncture treatment.
As a result, Shoucheng's hourly wage has increased to eighty dollars.
In addition, Lin Su also found a drug-preparing job in a Chinese pharmacy.
Also due to her high level of professionalism, she is often able to help customers who have minor or urgent problems.
Formulate special medicines to relieve diarrhea, cough, and hiccups to solve the problem.
This makes the business of Chinese drugstores getting better and better.
So the owner of the Chinese drugstore raised her salary to the highest in the store, to $25 an hour.
In this way, Shouzhen worked three hours a day and Lin Su worked six hours.
Their combined monthly income is as high as $8,000.
The living standard has caught up with that of American lawyer families, and they are definitely upper middle class.
Among the local Chinese community, they are at the peak of income levels.
But the even bigger good thing is that not only did Shouzheng and Lin Su get green cards.
Moreover, Shouzheng has passed the second part of the medical examination and successfully found an internship hospital.
This means that you only need to go through three more years of residency and pass the final exam part.
He now has the formal qualifications to practice medicine in the United States.
Therefore, their prospects in the United States are bright.
It's completely affordable to buy a house now if they want to.
If you want to become a U.S. citizen, Shouzhen's tutors and internship hospitals are very willing to help.
But even under such circumstances, they did not have such an idea.
In fact, because Lin Su was seven months pregnant, she was sent back to the country for resettlement.
There is only one reason. The two parents are afraid that if something happens, the child will become an American when he lands in the United States.
According to what they said, you cannot let your children become foreigners, otherwise you will be ashamed of your ancestors.
But the most coincidental thing is that the day they came back happened to be the night of Shui Lan's departure abroad.
The Shui family was sad, while the Shou family was happy, forming a sharp contrast on this night.
I think this is the wonderful thing about life.
They are obviously the same people, but the different choices they make determine their different fates in the future.
It's just that although this person's return is a happy event, there are still some problems to be solved.
The key is how Lin Su gave birth and was given confinement.
Lin Su's natal family has too many rooms and few rooms. She cannot go back to her natal family and can only live in Shou's family.
Shouzheng's sister Shou Rong, although thanks to Hong Yanwu's help, moved her family back to Beijing.
The unit that can accept them is an optical instrument factory affiliated with the Light Industry Bureau, far away in Xisanqi.
If Shou Rong had to take care of Lin Su, she would not be able to go to work or take care of her family.
What if Lin Su's own mother wants to take care of her?
The mother and daughter have to face an old father-in-law like Shou Jingfang all day long.
There are differences between men and women, so it's awkward no matter what you wear, and it's really inconvenient in daily life.
So as soon as the Shou family got together, they had to buy a house.
They are not short of money, Shouzheng brought back fifty thousand US dollars.
So I thought it would be best to buy a small courtyard not far away.
Allowing Lin Su and her parents to move in will improve the living conditions of the Lin family.
Shou Jingfang could usually take care of Lin Su, diagnose her pulse, take care of her body and so on.
So the Shou family took the opportunity to entertain relatives and friends and told Hong Yanwu about the matter, hoping to entrust him to help organize the matter.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu had a better idea.
He discussed it with his parents and suggested that the Shou family simply move.
Shou Jingfang and Lin Su moved to the Hong family's old house.
There are three reasons.
First, it takes time to buy a suitable house.
Don't worry, it's not easy to be satisfied with everything.
Besides, I still have to pack it after I bought it, so it’s really too late to rush.
Second, winter is coming soon. If the bungalow is not properly arranged, it will suffer.
For Lin Su and her children's sake, it would be best to live in a building.
But it is naturally more difficult to get a suitable building for this building.
Third, Shou Jingfang will retire soon, although he will no longer go to the pharmacy.
But those old sick people will inevitably come back to look for them after all.
With just the two small rooms in the Shou family, can they bear visitors coming to their door every day?
There is no place to receive us.
And if you are so bothered, will the old man fix the medical records?
So Hong Yanwu's real idea was to let Lin Su and her daughter live in the Hong family's small foreign-style building.
There is heating, running water, and you can take a shower, not to mention it is very comfortable.
Hong Yanwen and his wife can also help take care of her, and there are usually people to talk to.
He also wants to hire one or two more nannies to help take care of the house, so that life in the small building will be more comfortable.
As for Shou Jingfang who needed cleanliness and space, he simply moved to the small courtyard of the old house where the big house was.
Hong Yanwu will arrange for someone to open a door on the outer wall.
In this way, not only would Shou Jingfang be able to entertain guests, but he would also have space to write a book, and it would only be a few steps to go to the small foreign-style building.
It couldn't be more appropriate.
It doesn't matter if Hong Yankang, who is far away in the East, comes back. He happens to be a companion with Shou Jingfang.
Because to be honest, that's where Hong Yankang lived when he was young, and he originally wanted to live there.
At that time, the Hong family arranged for him to live in a small building, but they felt that he had been away from home for too long and was no longer adaptable to life in a bungalow.
I'm afraid that if he lives alone, he won't be well taken care of, and he will appear lonely.
And there's an added benefit.
Between the courtyard of the big house and the small foreign-style building is the courtyard where the Hong family's grandfather used to live.
From now on, if Shou Jingfang wants to open a clinic, he doesn't have to choose another location, which is extremely convenient.
It’s even lively during the Spring Festival.
The Shou family and the Hong family can definitely live together.
Of course, you still have to buy the house in the end, and this matter should continue.
But since there is no need to rush to relocate Lin Su, Hong Yanwu can take control more easily.
According to his idea, while the price is cheap, he can buy two houses, one for each of the Shou family and the Lin family.
The key point is that the location should be good and it should be a private house.
In this way, he not only bought a property, but also improved the living conditions of the Lin family. It was said that the son-in-law had fulfilled his filial piety.
There is no doubt that Hong Yanwu's idea is a great one.
It's a bit exaggerated to say it's exhaustive, but it's worthy of being thoughtful and considerate.
Shou Jingfang and Shou Zheng were very happy and praised him endlessly.
So after the banquet, Shouzheng took the initiative to invite Hong Yanwu to his house to get money.
Not only did Hong Yanwu laugh and refuse, he actually had other ideas.
"No, U.S. dollars are hard currency. Are you going to use them in this way and not waste them in China?"
"In this case, I will send you 20,000 yuan later, and you can forget about buying a house. I will advance the payment first, and we two brothers will settle the matter later."
"As for the fifty thousand US dollars, you listen to me and you have to take the money back..."
"We can't waste things. Of course we have to use this money to harvest the wool of Americans. You listen to me, open a stock market account when you get back and buy American Tobacco Company stocks. No matter the price, buy them all. Just keep holding on.
