Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 992, pick up

In the 80s, the reform and opening-up policy was implemented and my country's door opened again. This was fresh and tempting news to the whole world!

In the early days of reform and opening up, domestic tourism consisted of only small-scale official business trips, and there was no outbound travel in the strict sense. The tourism industry, which was transformed from foreign affairs reception, carried the political mission of earning foreign exchange for the country, forming a market structure in which inbound tourism was the only one that stood out.

Foreign countries were full of curiosity about China, which had just opened up, and a large number of foreign tourists flocked to China, but in contrast, the domestic infrastructure was extremely backward.

At this time, the tourism industry began to transform from a cause to an industry. From 1979 to 1991, the tourism industry entered a growth stage, and the tourism industry transformed from an economic growth point to an emerging industry. During this period, the development policy of the tourism industry gave priority to the development of inbound tourism, and adopted a policy of "not advocating, not promoting, and not opposing" domestic tourism, with the main purpose of earning foreign exchange.

Our country has strict foreign exchange controls, so foreign tourists can only exchange foreign exchange coupons when they arrive in the country, which was hard currency in the country at that time.

Because you can buy things at the Friendship Store with foreign exchange coupons, many of the items there are top domestic products and rare items imported from abroad.

Before, people from China were not allowed to enter at all. They needed special certificates to enter.

For example, the proof that Jiang Yan gave before, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to enter.

However, after the reform and opening up, the Friendship Store has opened up a lot. As long as you have foreign exchange coupons, you can buy things there.

The car couldn't drive in, but people could still get in. At least Jiang Yan's connections could be used. After getting off the car, Jiang Yan went straight to the baggage claim area to wait for Kudo Hideko and her daughter.

In this era, checked luggage on airplanes could be collected with the number plate corresponding to the level of the aircraft at that time.

Jiang Yan could guess that Kudo Hideko must have brought a lot of things, probably mostly gifts.

Jiang Yan was not wrong to think so. During the month of waiting for the visa, Kudo Hideko went to many shopping malls to choose luggage.

She heard from Jiang Yan that there were six children in his family, three boys and three girls. The oldest was in his twenties and was already married, and the youngest was in his teens and was in high school, so she still had to prepare gifts for the children when she met them for the first time.

In addition, the gift for Jiang Yan's legal wife cannot be neglected. As a concubine's wife, Kudo Hideko herself should have the right attitude. The gift should not only be grand but also valuable, as it represents her attitude.

As for the wives and children of Jiang Sang's good brothers, she naturally cannot be careless. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that they are her husband's brothers cannot be careless at all.

Together with his own and his daughter's clothes, the sundry items filled up several large suitcases, and the shipping cost alone was 100,000 yen.

Kudo Shizuka, who was nestling comfortably in her mother's arms, had no idea of ​​her mother's current predicament. She opened her round eyes wide and looked around curiously.

"Mom, look, that's Dad over there." Shizuka Kudo saw Jiang Yan standing not far away and said loudly to her mother.

After being reminded by Kudo Shizuka, Kudo Hideko also saw Jiang Yan waving at her at the exit. Her eyes were sore and she held back her tears and walked quickly towards Jiang Yan.

"Dad." Shizuka reached out to Jiang Yan from a distance.

Seeing Shizuka with her arms open in Kudo Hideko's arms, Jiang Yan also took her in with a smile on his face.

"Do you miss your daddy?" Jiang Yan asked happily, resting his head on Shizuka's.

"Think about it."

"No way." "Here, here, here, they all look like daddy." Shizuka pointed at her head, chest and stomach and spoke.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Yan spoke gently when he saw Kudo Hideko standing in front of him.

"It's not hard. We have finally arrived in your country." Kudo Hideko said.

"Wait a moment, wait a moment." When Jiang Yan and Kudo Hideko were about to pick up their luggage, a voice in English came from behind asking him to wait.

When Kudo Hideko heard the voice, her face changed and her body involuntarily moved closer to Jiang Yan, looking very nervous.

"Dad, this annoying guy just now kept pestering Mom, but Mom ignored him."

After hearing what Kudo Shizuka said, Jiang Yan realized that his relationship was being harassed.

At this time, his eyes narrowed. He saw someone so arrogant on the flower-growing family's territory.

"Get out of the way. I want to treat this beautiful lady to a meal." John arrived angrily and spoke in English with a slightly annoyed voice.

"You are being very rude. This is a flower-growing family." Jiang Yan stood in front of Kudo Hideko with a calm expression, but his eyes were fixed on John as he spoke word by word in English.

"Someone who grows flowers." John asked with some doubt.

These words left Jiang Yan speechless. On the land of the Flower-Growing Family, who else could he be if not a member of the Flower-Growing Family? Could he be from another country?

But the one who was even more depressed was John. He just found out that Kudo Hideko was a member of the Jiaobenji family. According to common logic, her husband should also be a member of the Jiaobenji family. Now suddenly a person from the flower-growing family came, and he couldn't wrap his head around it.

But he was very sure that this was a flower grower.

Although China, Japan, and South Korea are all yellow people, there are still some differences between them if you look closely.

During World War II, in order to distinguish themselves, the army of the United States specially published a booklet called "The Pocket Flower Grower's Guide" as a guide and distributed it to every American soldier heading to the Flower Grower's Country.

The most important point is body shape, that is, height. For the people of Jiaobenji, height has always been a permanent pain.

“一些种花家人比较高（平均5英尺5英寸，约165.1厘米），实际上所有脚盆鸡都矮（平均5英尺2又三分之一英寸，约158.3厘米）。

Compared to the shorter Nakazakura family, the people of Jiaobenji look more sturdy and have a wide hip...

The summary in this book is quite detailed, and it directly lists all the shortcomings of the Chicken People.

However, nowadays, there is naturally a new-age method of judgment. That is, when you see people from these three countries, those with evasive eyes are mostly from China and South Korea. It may be because they are vassal states, or it may be because there are American troops stationed there. In their eyes, there is more fear and submission.

However, the people of the Flower-Growing Family were completely different from them. Perhaps because of the battle, most of the people of the Flower-Growing Family looked at them with more curiosity in their eyes, but John dared to swear that he actually saw an eagerness to try in the eyes of some of them.

And when he knew that he was going to work in the Flower Planting Family, his grandfather who had been in the battlefield came to his house and told him about his participation in the Korean war. He repeatedly warned him that he must get to know the people of the Flower Planting Family correctly.
