After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

These fish balls were made fresh yesterday. I made a fish ball soup last night, and it was especially delicious.

Su Mingzhe and Xia Ran were worried that they weren't very good at cooking, so each of them took charge of a pot.

They promptly used serving chopsticks to put the vegetables and meat into the bowl, then helped to scoop them into empty plates for the children to eat.

The adults found this way of eating quite novel, but after a few tries, they got the hang of it.

But I must say, it tastes amazing, very delicious.

The meal lasted almost two hours, with everyone eating and stopping intermittently, until everyone was stuffed.

In the end, all the vegetables were eaten, but some meat rolls were left.

They didn't even think about drinking alcohol or beverages.

After everyone finished dinner, they began to tour the house.

When old man Smith saw the two computers in the house, he said, "So you installed these for your home? That's quite extravagant of you."

"Yes, it will make things more convenient."

Then people noticed the garlic sprouts and green vegetables that Xia Ran had planted and kept asking her questions.

Because vegetables here are always very expensive and there aren't many varieties, especially in winter, leafy greens are a rare commodity.

Today's meal included some of the vegetables Xia Ran had grown. They ate them and found them delicious, so they became interested.

Xia Ran told them how to grow vegetables.

The result was a reply: "That sounds really difficult."

Xia Ran thought, "Is it difficult?" Oh, she forgot that these people were foreigners.

So he invited, "If you are really interested, you can come and learn from me next spring."

I plan to plant some of my favorite vegetables in the garden outside.

Just throw in some seeds and you'll have more vegetables than you can eat.

"really?"

"Well, really."

The children ran around for a while, then got bored and lay down next to the wall hanging to watch Su Mingzhe brew tea for everyone.

A child asked Su Mingzhe, "Brother, why don't you have a Christmas tree at home for Christmas?"

"Because our country doesn't have the custom of celebrating Christmas, we celebrate the Spring Festival."

What is the Spring Festival?

Su Mingzhe was discussing some professional issues with his teacher when these adorable kids arrived, completely interrupting their conversation.

So he brewed tea while answering the children's questions, almost all of which were about China.

He would check on Xia Ran every now and then, only feeling at ease when he saw that she was safe and sound.

Outside the window, other children were playing and chasing each other in the snow.

The sound of silvery laughter drifted over, sounding especially charming and warm in the firelight of the fireplace.

After everyone had eaten and digested their food, Xia Ran brought out the dried fruit and fresh fruit she had prepared to help them pass the time.

"Wow, why do you have so much food at home? And it's all stuff we don't have here?"

"These are almost all products produced in China. They are indeed not easy to buy here. If you like them, eat more."

Have an apple, it symbolizes that everyone will be safe, healthy, and have good fortune in the new year.

Xia Ran took a fruit knife and cut and distributed some apples to everyone.

Actually, she usually eats it whole, rarely cutting it in half, because she's afraid they won't be able to finish it.

"Okay, thank you."

"Mmm, delicious, sweet, and tasty."

Smith's youngest daughter asked, "You are different from other Chinese people I know, Xia. Are you and your husband nobles from your country?"

The reports I read said your country is very poor, and the people don't have enough to eat.

"We wouldn't call ourselves nobles, but we are certainly among those who are doing quite well."

As for the reports you mentioned, they are somewhat biased. The days of not having enough to eat are long gone; we're doing very well now.

"I see."

……

Christmas passed by amidst everyone's merriment.

Before leaving, Xia Ran and Su Mingzhe took out the Christmas gifts they had prepared for everyone, which once again caused a chorus of exclamations.

They also packed some dried fruit for us to take away, because many of these dried fruits weren't available here, but the kids wanted to eat them.

In the end, the Smith family left happily.

The children were somewhat disappointed when they first arrived and didn't see a tall, beautiful Christmas tree.

In the end, the regret of not having a Christmas tree was long forgotten.

The youngest boy, a four-year-old, blinked his big, round eyes and asked Xia Ran, "Pretty sister, can we come to your house again next time?"

For no other reason than that this little cutie called her "pretty sister," she had to agree.

"Sure, you can come anytime, as long as we're home."

"Really?" The other children chimed in with their questions.

This Christmas has broadened their horizons and given them a different kind of holiday experience, which they find wonderful.

"Yes, you are welcome to come to our home."

The children chattered on their way home, and even after they got home, they kept sighing about it.

Not only the children were saddened, but the adults were too.

I feel that many of the things I saw today were different from what they originally thought.

It seems to have redefined and re-understood the concept of China.

They always thought Chinese people were poor, but it turns out they live better lives than them.

My country is a developed country, while the other country is a developing country.

The idea that a developed country like them lives a life worse than people in developing countries is quite surprising.

Let them start to re-examine some things.

Meanwhile, Xia Ran and her husband started cleaning up the house as soon as they saw off their guests, and went to bed early after they finished.

Christmas is over and time flies.

And then the US government raised interest rates for the fifth time, causing interest rates to rise again and again.

Xia Ran and Su Mingzhe began packing their things to go to New York, preparing to buy up stocks and futures in the US market at rock-bottom prices.

The two discussed the upcoming battle plan in detail.

To be honest, Xia Ran really didn't want to move; she had finally gotten used to living here.

Making money was equally important, so he took some bodyguards and returned to the house, where they settled in.

After visiting a few overseas Chinese friends at the beginning, Xia Ran and Su Mingzhe spent almost all their time in the stock market.

I started monitoring the market closely.

Su Mingzhe didn't realize just how rich Xia Ran was until he saw her casually buying and selling in units of millions or tens of millions of US dollars.

The amount was so large that it shocked him; his wife was so outstanding that he felt inferior.

He held Xia Ran even tighter, as if afraid she might suddenly fly away.

As expected, his intuition was right; this was someone he couldn't reach in the first place.

We met by chance, and he ended up clinging to me with his shamelessness. What did he do to deserve this?

He held Xia Ran tightly, repeatedly calling out, "Wife? Wife? Wife?"

Xia Ran turned her head and kissed her silly dog, then said, "Hmm, what's wrong? Tell me?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to call you."

"Okay, go ahead and call me whatever you want."
