Even in the 1980s, international travel across the continent was not a trip at will. Moreover, the destination was mainland China, which is far from the European and American worlds. Moreover, this continent itself has extraordinary significance for the whole family. Therefore, when Alice made this suggestion, there were too many things to prepare.

For example, first of all, James hung up the phone to his parents who lived on the Central Plains.

“嘿,爸,你们最近都怎么样?”

Not always can you hear such authentic Chinese conversations at home. Alice, Oscar and Hannah all lay obediently on the armrest of the sofa, watching her father chatting with her grandfather.

However, James frowned slightly: "Do you suffer from wind and cold? Is it severe? Have you taken medicine? Is it because you forgot to close the window last night?"

The old couple actually caught a cold together, which made the whole family look solemn, and Sophie quickly walked from the kitchen to the living room.

"Dad, I've said how many times have I been to California with us. The average temperature here is much warmer than yours, and there are still people to take care of it."

"Isn't we taking care of you? Dad, with us here, why do you need the elderly care centers? Tsk, you are just stubborn! Where is my mom!?"

It was a common topic again, Sophie immediately pouted at Hannah, and Oscar rolled his eyes.

If every family has its own difficult sutras, Alice is no exception.

She could hear it clearly, and her father, who was still holding his breath on his front feet, suddenly softened his voice, obviously it was grandma who answered the phone.

"Mom, I'm afraid that the heart can't stand it when the plane is not going to be able to stand it when driving, so why don't I have a train? Haven't you been here to Los Angeles by train? There's really no need to book a trip to California for half a year. You just can't bear to take all the flowers you can't bear to raise? You can just bring them all."

"Tsk, why are you both so stubborn or not? We won't go to China anymore. So how about I let Sophie go to Alabama to take care of you? Don't worry about Oscar and Hannah, they are both thirteen or fourteen years old, and there's no Lawrence."

Listening to the head of the family quarreling with the old couple again, Sophie sighed in a low voice and touched Hannah's head: "See, baby, this is why I like your father. You can also find such a man in the future."

As she said that, she did not forget to throw a glance at Oscar and Alice one by one.

Hannah enjoyed Sophie's touching her head like a kitten, while squinting her eyes happily: "Hehe, mom is still a slut when she is forty."

“臭丫头,不许这么说我!”

Oscar's face turned weird: "Looking for a man? Looking for a girl? Uh?"

I didn't say a few words, but it seemed to be very connotative, just because I didn't know what he was thinking.

Just now, James had already hung up the phone, sat on the sofa, and sighed: "I'm suffering from cold again. The last time I got sick was almost the same. I hope this time there is no big problem. Sophie, my parents will give it to you, isn't it?"

Sophie raised her eyebrows and said easily: "Of course there is no problem. I am the holder of the Global Special Nurses Qualification Certificate. Are you questioning my professional level?"

"Oh, so dear special nurse Sophie, please come and rub my waist."

Suddenly, Alice collapsed on the sofa like a big meat worm, her head resting on Sophie's thigh, and her body turned like a top: "Look, look, I can't twist my waist by myself, it's so sore, hurry up and rub it."

“哇,恶心!”

Oscar was extremely glad that he had stood up from the sofa: "Sister, can you still be younger? Do you want to hold your mom and drink milk?"

“嘿,说什么呢!?”

Sophie gave her son a blank look, then patted Alice's head and said, "Look, what image do you have in Oscar's eyes? Why don't you get up from my legs?"

However, Alice was still resting on Sophie's thighs, her whole body was lying on the sofa, her calves were still stretched out outside the edge. What a big flesh worm, and she turned horizontally like a top, and she was still acting coquettish.

"No, no, I'm going to make Oscars hate Oscars. Do you hate me so much now?"

Seeing Oscar running into the kitchen with disgust, James finally laughed, and patted Hannah and Alice's heads, made room, and sat down: "You brothers and sisters. Forget it, Alice, you really have an idea. Is there any way to get your grandparents to go to Los Angeles honestly and live with us?"

Alice stopped making trouble for a serious topic, but she still laid on Sophie's thigh, and then thought about it seriously: "It's really not easy."

It's really not easy.

毕竟,家家都有本难念的经.

The old couple moved from California to Alabama since James got married.

As workers who arrived in the United States before World War II, like many people, Alice's grandparents settled in California. But I think we know that the workers back then worked very hard, and that was in the 1920s and 1930s, and the status of Chinese people was far less stable than that of now. When the old couple worked hard all their lives and their son finally married a "blonde foreign girl, white and rich beauty" with an annual salary of 500,000 US dollars, what reason do they have to worry about raising their elderly?

It is worth affirming that the rural environment of Alabama is indeed very outstanding. Just like the environment where "Forrest Gump" grew up, the vast farmland, fresh air, and many simple folk customs make the old couple who have been up early and till late all their lives instantly indulge in an instant. It is not difficult.

Of course, this is based on the premise that they do not lack food and clothing. Sophie is a very filial daughter-in-law. The entire three-story building with an excellent geographical location covers an area of ​​half a White House, and there is also a hurrying lawn that is regularly taken care of by gardeners every week. I believe that for any retired elderly, this is an undeniable temptation.

As a result, a speechless situation was born.

That is, the old couple who are used to living in the beautiful Alabama, letting them go back to California is as hard as sending their children to school.

"Or we'll burn the house with a big fire."

Alice said unsurprisingly: "Then, although I will definitely be beaten up by my grandfather and my grandmother will keep crying, they will definitely live in our house."

James rolled his eyes without hesitation, Sophie burst into laughter, Oscar was gone, Hannah gave a thumbs up and said admiringly: "Good idea, Alice, then you can go and execute it quickly, I will buy you the best tombstone in the world!"

In this way, the suggestion of inviting the old couple to their motherland was that they had to end because they were suddenly infected with the cold. Sophie even went to Alabama to take care of them, so they would eventually leave, namely, father and daughter. As for Oscar and Hannah, considering that this trip to China might last for a few days, and now it is a few days away from the start of school in March, they had to stay at home from the beginning.

"But Vivi, is this idea really OK to cultivate competitors for herself?"

The streets were filled with sunshine in the afternoon, and the sisters were wandering on Vinton Street. After waving to Uncle Levins at No. 11, Hannah said worriedly: "Why don't we let Cisco enter China directly?"

"Because, of course it's because, after all, we are American capitalists."

Alice hugged her sister's shoulders and looked at the sunny residences around her: "Although China has begun to open up now, the core industry still controls the country. It is not very sensitive yet, but no matter which country it is, when it moves towards full networking, Internet hardware will bring security risks."

Hannah understands what her sister said, and using Cisco router to invade the Nasdaq Exchange, and until now, she can occasionally see some follow-ups in the Wall Street Journal. Although blue-chip stocks have not been in a slump and the company's official has been trying to recover various losses, from a historical perspective, this top company has been considered a terrible for a hundred years.

“嗯,嗯,有点道理.”

Hannah nodded with her arms and said, "If I were the relevant government responsible person, after knowing the precedent, I would definitely not dare to let Cisco's products build the stock exchange network. If at this time, a domestic company suddenly launched routers and switches, it would definitely throw a super large order."

“呀,你说的还真有道理.”

Alice suddenly stopped and pondered: "What will the Chinese government think about this matter?"

这还真是个大问题.

The two major stock exchanges in the Chinese stock market, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Shenzhen, both started business in December 1990, which is a normal history. At that time, Huawei had just been established for three years and had only developed a user switch for hotels. As for the routers of Pulian technology, it had to wait for 1996 to start research and development. In other words, according to Cisco's current development speed, Alice could have entered China earlier than 1994 in its original history, and there was the largest application field in front of it.

But it is also this largest application field that there is now an invisible obstacle.

If the Chinese government knows about the incident, will it dare to let the two major exchanges use Cisco's equipment?

难说!

So in this way, if she plans to "save the country in a curve" from the inside, it will coincide with her current evil behavior?

"Well, so, Hannah, my sister has to stay for a few days this time."

Her eyes were rolling around, and Alice smiled strangely. To be continued.
