My name is Miko Ishihara. This year is my fourth year of marriage to China. Last month, my husband and I returned to Japan to visit relatives. We carefully selected some beautiful gift boxes to broaden their horizons.
Who knows, as soon as I entered the house, my younger brother complained before I could show them the things in the gift box. Sister, you took these things home, which is too flashy to be true. You told us that China is good, were you kidding us?
My younger brother has always been like this. My parents are also blamed for spoiling him. He doesn't know how to be polite at all, nor does he know how to think twice before acting.
But I still appreciate him. If it weren't for him, my current husband, Xiao Qi, and I wouldn't know each other, and probably wouldn't get together.
My husband and I knew each other in China. The reason why I went to China was that my younger brother wanted to visit China so much that he begged his parents for a long time. He didn't agree with him until he achieved a good result.
It's a pity that he ate his stomach badly before flying and was admitted to the hospital. His parents rushed to take care of him. In the end, I was the only one who flew to China.
At that time, I didn't want to come, because I didn't have a familiar person, nor could I speak Chinese, and my English was very poor. I was afraid that I would get lost when I got off the plane.
My father hated the iron and said that if you don't go, you can't change the ticket and return it. It's a waste of money. Besides, you are so big, how can you lose it? Go quietly and send us videos and photos!
In this way, I was put on a plane to China. Our destination is Chengdu, Sichuan. I heard that the giant pandas here are very famous and the food is good.
However, this is all in my imagination. The reality is that I lost my way as soon as I got off the plane. I walked around the airport three times before I found the exit, and successfully took a taxi to the hotel.
After successfully checking into the hotel, I asked the hotel service staff to order a meal for me, and then took a rest. Although there was no jet lag between the two places, it was very tiring after several hours of flying.
When I woke up, I asked a local guide on my mobile phone to show me around Chengdu the next day and take me to enjoy the local special food - hotpot.
Because I really want to see pandas, we set our first stop at the Giant Panda Park. Before I came to Chengdu, I never saw real pandas. I saw them on my mobile phone.
So when I saw the panda at the first sight, I sent out a scream of surprise. People who visited with me looked at me with strange eyes. Even the little sister of the tour guide came to remind me to pay attention to my image.
It's a pity that I didn't suppress my inner ecstasy. Along the way, I either cried out in surprise or asked my guide sister to take pictures of me. During that time, I also took photos with several tourists, including Xiao Qi.
After visiting the Giant Panda Park, my sister, the guide, and I were about to go out for dinner when Xiao Qi suddenly stopped us and told me that we were very lucky, hoping to invite us to have a meal.
I agreed without hesitation, because I was really hungry, because I didn't eat in the morning, so Xiao Qi didn't choose hotpot for us, but invited us to have a meal of noodles.
Xiao Qi told me that he was right behind us when he visited the giant panda in the morning, so he saw me all the way and thought I was a very cute girl, hoping to make friends with me.
After dinner, Xiao Qi asked us what we were going to do in the afternoon. The little sister of the tour guide told me about a scenic spot. Xiao Qi was very surprised and told me that he was going there in the afternoon, so we could be friends.
I think this is a good idea. After consulting the guide's little sister, we went together.
With Xiao Qi as my companion, I found this trip more interesting, because every time I saw a place, Xiao Qi could always explain it quickly and in detail, which was more knowledgeable than the little sister of the tour guide.
After visiting two scenic spots in the afternoon, I was really tired, so I said goodbye to them and went back to the hotel to have a rest.
It was more than eight o'clock the next morning when I opened my eyes again. As soon as I opened my eyes, I received a piece of news that was not very good. My guide said that there was something temporary at home, and I could not play with me in the next few days. He returned all his money.
Just when I was depressed about this, Xiao Qi sent me a message asking what we were going to do today to see if we could go together again.
I was disappointed to tell him the news, and told him that his trip might be over and he would fly back to Japan in two days.
The next second, Xiao Qi called me directly and said that he could be my tour guide. He was a native of Chengdu and was familiar with all the scenic spots around, so he could take me to play.
Xiao Qi's enthusiasm made me a little overwhelmed. I didn't know what to say. The next second, Xiao Qi joked that if you don't charge more, you can just give me the market price.
I thought about it for a while, and I didn't suffer. Besides, it was not easy to come back, because it was not worthwhile to go home for such a small matter.
I promised Xiao Qi. After getting up and cleaning up, I went to the first floor of the hotel to wait for him. Xiao Qi came very quickly, and hung up the phone and arrived more than half an hour later.
Under the leadership of Xiao Qi, we went to three scenic spots in one day, and he also took me to eat an authentic Sichuan hot pot in the evening.
Xiao Qi told me that their local people all want to eat spicy food, but because it's my first time to eat it, I'm afraid I won't adapt to it, so it's slightly spicy.
But even if it was slightly spicy, I found it hard to accept. I used dessert to quench my thirst while eating. Xiao Qi saw that I was so hot that my tongue stuck out, and he laughed directly.
However, one thing to say, although hot pot is hot, it is really delicious, so that I missed the taste all day after I returned to Japan.
On the last day in Chengdu, Xiao Qi and I confessed. I promised him that he had loved me from the first time he saw me. In fact, I had already loved him.
It's a pity that we have to face the difficulties of foreign love at the beginning of our love. Xiao Qi comforted me that the transportation and communication are very convenient now. If we miss each other, we can see them at any time.
However, I can't stand the hardships of exotic love. After returning to China, with the consent of my parents, I returned to China and prepared to develop here.
It has to be said that development in China is not the same as visiting China. There are a lot of things to consider for development in China, such as accommodation, travel, communication, and the most important thing is work.
However, thanks to Xiao Qi's help, these difficulties were easily solved, and I successfully found a suitable job in Chengdu.
After two years of love with Xiao Qi, he proposed to me and then met both parents. Fortunately, both parents were very open-minded and did not block our relationship.
The next step is to prepare for the wedding. The wedding here is very different from that in Japan. If I have to choose one, I prefer the Chinese wedding because it looks more solemn and lively.
I gave birth to my son in the second year of marriage. Because the child is small, I haven't been able to go home to visit my relatives. Usually, I can only meet them through my mobile phone.
Finally, in the fourth year of my marriage to China, when my son was three years old and no longer dependent on me, I could go home to visit my relatives.
Before leaving, my husband told me to buy some high-end gift boxes and supplements for my parents, which seemed more formal. I smiled and said to my husband, "If you don't buy gift boxes, you can just carry some fruit. They are also very happy.".
Why do you say that? Because fruits and vegetables are very expensive in my country. Ordinary families like ours are reluctant to buy too expensive fruits to eat.
In the end, my husband sold more than 10 items, including supplements for my mother, tea for my father, and some fruits and meat. If I hadn't stopped him, I thought he would have moved the supermarket to my home.
After getting off the plane, my husband and I took a taxi home. My father and mother were in the kitchen to help us with the lunch. My brother came to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door and saw what my husband and I were carrying, my brother said impatiently, Sister, you bought these flashy things again. Be careful what your parents say about you.
Why does my brother just say that the packaging is flashy? This is because most of our beautifully packaged outer boxes are filled with some impractical things.
Before I could explain, my younger brother said again, "I didn't expect that China is also such a low-grade thing. I really don't know whether the China that you said is good in everything is true.".
I ignored my brother's sarcasm and told him that you can open it and see what gifts your brother-in-law and I have chosen for you.
The younger brother opened one of the gift boxes with a look of disgust. It happened that it was fruit. The younger brother first shouted, and then asked me incredulously, Sister, did you get rich, and how did you buy so many fruits?
I looked at my younger brother's frightened face and said with a smile, "Without making a fortune, Chinese fruits are much cheaper than ours. They cost less than 100 yuan. You can eat them with confidence.".
After opening several gift boxes one after another, my brother completely changed his attitude and said that it was not that the Chinese things were too low-grade, but that my experience was too short. I am sorry for the previous remarks.
In fact, if my younger brother is not still studying, but my parents are still working, I really want to take them to China for a walk and a look, so that they can see the real look of China and feel the greatness of China!
