Ye Chen waved his hand: "China has grown up, where the loess doesn't bury people, when the time comes, find a place to settle down, maybe there will be a chance to make a comeback, and when the time comes, pay back the debt, maybe you can return to your hometown."
After speaking, Ye Chen looked at Lang Hongjun, and asked again: "By the way, brother, what work did you do in Mexico? Is there any way to introduce it to my brother?"
"Me?" Lang Hongjun sighed, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I don't have any way, but if I have a way, brother, I won't abandon my wife and son and go to that ghost place in Mexico."
As he said that, Lang Hongjun lowered his voice and said to Ye Chen: "Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, Mexico is an extrajudicial place according to what we in China say. Why did the president spend so much money on it before?" Building a wall on the border? Isn�t it just to control the illegal immigration and drug smuggling over there? Who the fuck are good Americans coming here.�
Ye Chen nodded, and asked curiously: "Brother, you have been talking for a long time, but you didn't say what you were going to do."
Lang Hongjun no longer concealed it, and said seriously: "To tell you the truth, my brother, I went to Mexico this time to become a seaman."
"Sailor?" Marven Ye asked curiously, "Are you a sailor?"
"Yes." Lang Hongjun nodded and said, "It was introduced by a friend of my mother's. She said that the salary is quite good. I can earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but it's just a bit of hard work."
Ye Chen frowned slightly, not knowing what purpose Mei Yuzhen used to deceive the Red Army under the guise of a sailor.
But at least one thing is certain, a ruthless person like Mei Yuzhen would never be as simple as tricking Lang Hongjun into becoming a sailor.
Ye Chen didn't show any signs of expression, and said: "Brother, you are also a high-achieving student. Going to sea to be a crew member is a bit inferior. Instead of this, to be honest, you might as well go back to China to develop. The domestic development is so fast, and you will definitely find a good one." way out."
Lang Hongjun was stunned, and then sighed: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but sometimes I can't be ashamed. My relatives, friends, and former classmates all know that I immigrated to the United States early, and I also brought my old mother to the United States. The United States enjoys good fortune. For so many years, they mentioned that our family is envious or envious. If I return to China to develop at this time, they may say what about me behind my back..."
Ye Chen smiled slightly when he heard this, and said calmly: "Brother, don't think that I am younger than you, but I can see clearly than you when it comes to right and wrong. Face is something that the wife, children, parents, and the whole family are full of." You don�t care until you�re warmed up, you have to support your family now, why do you care about these things? Could it be possible to save your face by going to Mexico as a crew member?�
Lang Hongjun said with a shameful expression: "To tell you the truth, my brother, all these years, I have always felt guilty for my motherland. Don't look at me as an American citizen and holding an American passport, but I always remember in my heart that it was the motherland that cultivated me. Me, the motherland paid me to go out for further studies, and I couldn't resist the temptation from the outside, and I failed the trust of the motherland. If you say that I am like them, I will become a big shot. What are the top 500 entrepreneurs and executives? , I am also willing to return home with money and clothes, donate some money to my old alma mater, set up a bursary fund to help those children who cannot afford to study, it can be regarded as atonement..."
Speaking of this, Lang Hongjun's eyes turned red, and he said sadly: "The key is that I don't live up to it! I couldn't betray the motherland first, and now I can't get along outside, so I went back and begged the motherland to stay behind?"
Seeing Lang Hongjun's face full of shame, Ye Chen's impression of him changed a little.
Originally, I thought that he was just an egoist who was only greedy for glory and wealth, but looking at it now, he still has some conscience in his heart.
As for Lang Hongjun himself, he hasn't said these heartfelt words to anyone in all these years.
He also didn't really think that he had such a great fate with Ye Chen that he could speak the deepest words hidden in his heart.
He just hid these words in his heart for too long, and kept talking, but he couldn't find a suitable person to confide in.
So, Ye Chen comforted him and said: "The motherland has always been tolerant to its children. After so many years, so many people like you have gone back, the motherland has always embraced it with open arms. Pursue that everyone can go back to serve the motherland after completing their studies, but as long as some of the sent out are willing to go back, then this is worth doing. As for the part that is lost in the middle, it is just normal It's just a loss."
After a pause, Ye Chen said again: "It's like transporting a piece of ice in a foam box. No matter how tightly you wrap the ice, part of it will melt during transportation, but that doesn't matter, for the ice transporter. In other words, as long as there is still ice left when reaching the destination, then these efforts are of practical significance.�
Lang Hongjun was slightly taken aback, then nodded lightly, and muttered in his mouth: "Actually, we were attracted by the colorful world of the West back then. We always felt that the stage here is bigger and we can express ourselves better. In fact, we didn't I haven't really forgotten the motherland, but everyone is full of energy in their hearts. If they get along well, they will go back and serve the motherland a hundred times, a thousand times, and ten thousand times. It's just that there are always some people like me. Gradually, everyone will disappear..."
Speaking of this, Lang Hongjun said with tears in his eyes: "I really want to serve the motherland! But now I can't even support my own mother. She is over 70 years old and still has to work in a Chinese restaurant to earn money. To subsidize the family, I have studied for so many years, learned so much technology, and written so much code, but in the end I have to be a seaman to support my family, how do you think I have the face to go back to China?"
Marven Ye asked him: "Do you understand the work of seafarers?"
Lang Hongjun shook his head, and said: "I only know the general workflow, but I don't know the specific working methods. I probably just do odd jobs on the ship. After all, I'm new here, and I still focus on learning. This work should be mainly about hard work. , unable to stay at home for a year or so."
Ye Chen asked again: "Then do you think you are suitable to be a sailor?"
Lang Hongjun shook his head again: "To be honest, I work in communication technology. If you want to ask me how to locate the freighter, how to avoid obstacles, and how to contact the land through satellites, I can tell you one, two, three, but you Let me be a seaman, I am really at a loss, I don't even know the basic structure of a ship, and I don't even know if I will get seasick when I get on the ship."
Speaking, Lang Hongjun said with emotion: "But there is no way, for the sake of life."
Ye Chen chatted with Lang Hongjun for a long time, and also learned more about Lang Hongjun's past. JrNovels.com
