Chapter 490 Met a compatriot from the motherland in a foreign country(1/2)
The provincial capital of Hunan Province.
A luxury villa.
Lisa Tong said: "How about we give cash directly and let Master Jiang buy whatever he wants, so that he won't be afraid that the gift he gives will not be what he likes."
Ke Baoqiang said dumbfounded: "Mom, money is indeed omnipotent, but it would be too vulgar to give money directly. If you can give something in kind, it's better to give it in kind."
Xia Yuhe suggested: "I think you can give something that can preserve its value, such as a real estate store or something. This kind of gift is practical and won't be as vulgar as giving money."
Tong Lisa's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said in agreement: "Yu He's proposal is very good. From ancient times to the present, there are people in our country who don't like real estate and shops. This gift is also honorable."
Ke Baoqiang nodded and said: "Okay, then we will give it to the store. This will not only preserve the value, but also generate income. I will leave this matter to you, Mom."
Tong Lisa said: "Since we want to send shops, it is best to send them to the same city, so that Master Jiang can manage it easily. Then I will go to the provincial capital of Guangxi Province tomorrow to do this. I must buy some good shops.
Give it to Master Jiang."
Ke Baoqiang and Xia Yuhe both nodded and said yes.
After deciding on the gift-giving plan, the three of them discussed some of the details.
…
Tokyo, Japan.
At noon, Yamamoto Shisan and Mikami-sensei discussed Chinese poetry culture in the office. The result was that Mikami-sensei was naturally slightly better. After all, Mikami-sensei had discussed with many famous people, and coupled with the natural advantages of women, she naturally excelled in this aspect.
It's not something Yamamoto Juzo can compare to.
However, Yamamoto Shisan can barely keep up with Teacher Mikami's pace, which is already very good. At least Teacher Mikami is satisfied.
After discussing poetry culture for more than an hour, both of them felt refreshed. Teacher Mikami, who had not discussed with others for a long time, was even more radiant.
"Teacher Mikami, I want to take you back to have a meal with my parents tonight and introduce you to my parents. What do you think?"
Teacher Mikami blinked and said noncommittally: "Yamamoto-kun, I didn't prepare a gift in advance. It would be too rude to go to see your parents!"
Yamamoto Shisan smiled and said: "The meeting gifts are very simple. I have many in my office. You can just pick a few. The key is that I want to introduce you to my parents as soon as possible. I can't wait to marry you now."
Go home."
After all, we had just discussed poetry culture together, so Mikami-sensei said obediently: "Okay, if you insist, Yamamoto-kun, then I will agree to it."
Yamamoto Shisan said happily: "Thank you, Teacher Mikami, then I will call my mother and let her get ready."
Teacher Mikami showed a nervous expression and said very cutely: "I'm so nervous. I wonder if your parents will like me?"
Yamamoto Shisan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Mikami, my parents will definitely like you."
Teacher Mikami said: "Then Yamamoto-kun, please tell me about your parents, their hobbies and so on."
"No problem, I'll call my mother first and then tell you in detail."
"OK."
…
Someone once said this: The most perfect life in the world is to "live in a British house, eat Chinese food, earn an American salary, and marry a Japanese woman."
There is indeed some truth to this statement.
According to surveys, the social status of Japanese women is the lowest in Asia.
Unemployed Japanese women should prepare meals before their husbands come home, put out the bath water and stand at the door to greet their husbands. After saying thank you for your hard work, give them slippers, take their coats and briefcases, and then serve their husbands dinner.
If the rice is not to your liking, you will definitely be scolded.
Japanese women who have jobs also have to cook, because Japanese men don't even go to the kitchen. You can cook late, but you can't be careless.
Regardless of whether Japanese women have a job or not, they have to send their husbands to work in the morning, and they must send them to the door and bow to say goodbye.
Even if my husband has a car, he cannot take a ride by himself. He has to take the bus when he goes out.
Japanese people love to be clean. Married Japanese women have to clean their rooms every day, vacuum and dust them. There is almost no dust visible, and they will dress their homes beautifully and delicately.
What man wouldn’t want to marry such a virtuous and obedient Japanese woman?
There is a saying in Japan that "women have no home in the three realms", that is, after a woman is born, her home belongs to her parents. When she grows up and gets married, her home belongs to her husband. After her husband dies, her home belongs to her son.
Therefore, it is necessary to "obey your father at home, obey your husband when you are married, and obey your son when your husband dies".
This is simply a replica of the "Three Obediences of Women" in ancient China. However, after China went through the baptism of "not liking red clothes and preferring armed forces" and "women can hold up half the sky", the so-called "feudal legacy" has disappeared. On the contrary, Japan is still
There's quite a bit left.
Before Li Shuixiu married in Japan, she had actually heard about the low social status and family status of Japanese women. However, when she was still young at the time, she was already dazzled by the so-called love. Regardless of her parents' strong opposition, she made a decisive choice.
Married to Japan.
I remember that at that time, her parents were really angry. Her parents, who had more traditional ideas, were already very unhappy when she chose to marry a foreigner. What's more, she married a Japanese. How could her parents accept this?
But as an only daughter, Li Shuixiu grew up with the love of her parents. She wanted to marry willfully, but her parents couldn't stop her.
In the end, her parents couldn't help but agreed to her cross-border marriage with a dark face, but they all said the same thing in front of her, that she would definitely regret it.
But at that time, how could she listen to such words? She directly swore in front of her parents that she married the right person and she would never regret it.
But today, a few years later, Li Shuixiu is sitting in a rocking chair on the balcony, staring at the sunset in the distance, with endless confusion and regret in her eyes.
Now she finally realizes that her parents' original advice was right, and that Japanese culture and society are far from her expectations.
She didn't expect that married life would be so difficult. Her husband was not only chauvinistic, but also didn't care about his family at all. The first thing he did after get off work was not to go home, but to go to some pubs and izakayas for a drink. I drank until late at night.
For this reason, she had quarreled with him, but he silenced her with just one sentence, because in this strange country like Japan, if a man comes home on time from get off work, it is considered a sign of incompetence.
What else could she say?
Because the ethos of the entire Japanese society is the same, the husband occupies a dominant position in the family, while she passively accepts various arrangements.
She longed for independence and hoped to pursue her dreams in her career, but found that her role in the family was limited to the traditional housewife image.
Moreover, Japan lacks an environment that helps women balance childcare and work.
In China, if there are children at home, they are usually raised by the elders of the family, and the couple can work and make money without worries.
However, in Japan, the parent-child relationship is relatively weak. Children are raised by their mothers themselves after birth, and elders such as grandmothers and grandmothers rarely participate in raising grandchildren.
According to Japan's traditional family concepts and education concepts, children become independent after marriage and have to solve everything by themselves. In particular, raising children must be done by themselves, and parents will not interfere too much.
As a result, her academic experience and professional abilities were forced to be forgotten, and she was occupied by the endless housework and children's education.
This is really not the life she wants!
Tears of regret rolled in Li Shuixiu's eyes. She regretted not listening to her parents' advice and not carefully considering her decision.
She thought about divorce more than once, but her self-esteem did not allow her to do so.
After all, she swore in front of her parents that she had married the right man and would never regret it. However, she got divorced and went back in despair within a few years. Even though her parents would not say anything about her, she, who had always been concerned about face, could not accept this.
kind of ending.
Therefore, she has actually been trying hard to hold on for the past two years. To be precise, it is her unwillingness to admit defeat that is supporting her.
But now, she really couldn't hold it anymore, because she discovered a sad thing, her husband had cheated! And it wasn't just recently, he had already cheated!
This is actually not surprising at all.
According to surveys, the cheating rate among Japanese women is as high as 49%. Basically half of the women will cheat after marriage, and 6% have had the idea of cheating.
This data is unbelievable in China, but it is completely normal in Japan.
Think about it, even women have such a high cheating rate, let alone men who are naturally lustful. The cheating rate is definitely higher than that of women.
After discovering that her husband had cheated on her, Li Shuixiu completely gave up on the marriage. The idea of divorce became stronger and stronger. However, there were still two unresolved matters that made her delay in implementing the divorce.
The first thing is the problem of children.
She has brought the child with her own hands and feet since birth. She will never let go of this child. If she gets divorced, she will have to take the child away with her.
The second thing is to have no face to face your parents.
She was too full of words at the beginning. In the past few years, when she called her parents, she only reported good news but not bad news. When she suddenly got divorced and returned home, how to face her parents was also a problem.
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. Li Shuixiu simply stopped staying at home and planned to go out for a walk to relax. Her husband wouldn't come back so early anyway.
…
A five-star hotel.
Jiang Feng looked at the time and said to the two bodyguards: "Sister Bingbing, Sister Wutong, it's getting late now. Let's go out to eat. What do you want to eat today?"
Baili Wutong said: "Boss, you make the decision. We can eat whatever you want."
Guo Bingbing nodded and said: "We listen to you, boss."
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Then let's go out for a walk and see if there are any special snacks that we like or other appetizing delicacies here in Tokyo."
Baili Wutong and Guo Bingbing naturally have no objection.
So, the three of them went out and wandered aimlessly.
After walking for about ten or twenty minutes, Jiang Feng and the others saw a snack bar.
The name of the snack bar reads "もんじゃ焼". Jiang Feng didn't understand Japanese, but he just recognized one of the characters and asked, "Sister Baili, what kind of snacks does this snack bar serve?"
