The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 37 I'm speechless

"Mom, don't be angry, that Mariana definitely deserves it, sister deserves to beat her up!"

"Mom, walk slowly, watch out for the stairs~"

After Sophie walked out of the principal's office, she went all the way fast and kept silent. Oscar and Hannah couldn't stop talking, but Alice kept silent too. When everyone walked out of the school gate together, they saw Mr. James Step towards them.

"I was in class, Sophie, did Alice hit someone?"

"I frightened them temporarily, let's talk about it after getting in the car."

Sophie waved her hand, and the whole family sat in the car obediently. At this moment, her aura was definitely not the calm and gentle one at home, but like a person who was about to go to court and face the jury. Endless Gold Medal Lawyer!

As soon as the car started, James immediately asked: "Alice, baby, the principal called me, did you fight with a girl?"

"It was Mariana who provoked first!"

Oscar first said loudly: "I have heard what Mike said about the situation at that time. Didn't Alice write a Jurassic Park manuscript and send it to the publishing house? I don't know how that Mariana's brain grew. You must frame Alice for stealing her father's manuscript, and then continue to insult her, and even our whole family!"

"Yes, yes!"

Hannah also said: "Marisa told me everything about the situation right away, and my sister is so amazing. Marisa said that she still feels like a dream until now. She said that my sister immediately told Ma Liana is flying!"

"Hit...fly?"

James was a little bit stunned. Although Hannah was very young, he knew that the little girl hardly had to speak in an exaggerated way: "Alice, what's going on?"

From almost the very beginning, Alice didn't say another word.

When the chaos spread in the classroom, Sissy, Johnny, Mike, Marisa and other students who had a good relationship with her all stood by her side without hesitation, and there were definitely a large number of them. When Mr. Joseph, Director Robert, and Principal Hirota arrived one after another, they all testified that it was Mariana's fault, and Alice didn't even need to explain herself.

When Mariana's parents arrived, Oscar was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. She still didn't need her as a sister to speak, and the younger brother silenced the confrontation between the couple by himself. After all, when a teenager yells recklessly, adults often can't hold it back.

Of course, during this process, it wasn't that Alice didn't help secretly. She just needed a little mental strength, and she easily made Mariana unable to fart.

As a result, because of this, she also noticed without surprise that Principal Hirota, who is of Japanese descent, was extremely speechless about this situation. Who would have imagined that the "victim" who was supposed to be the one who beat up his classmate became the wrongdoer who was suppressed? And it's the Chinese who he has always hated as a Japanese?

"Inferiority and superiority, the violent behavior brought about, this matter is essentially what it is."

Facing her father's question, Alice opened her mouth and let out an unclear sentence, causing Oscar and Hannah to look at each other in blank dismay.

However, James was silent for a moment.

inferiority complex, and superiority.

Relying on his usual understanding of his daughter and his own life experience, he instantly understood the meaning of these two words.

Everyone knows that Mariana Levin's family is Czechoslovakian immigrants who just moved from Eastern Europe four years ago.

As a member of the Warsaw Pact, this small country in Eastern Europe is really not rich. Four years ago, that is, in 1980, although James didn't know the specific situation, he could make people leave their homes and immigrate to other countries, and he still rushed to the United States, which is the head of NATO...God knows, what kind of living standard can make the Lewin family make this decision.

After all, generally speaking, if you can, you should go to the Soviet Union and live in Moscow or St. Petersburg, right?

The only explanation is that, in order to survive and a better life, the family had to travel far and wide to come to the United States, instead of going to their big brother in the Soviet Union, the steel and military powerhouse.

Coming to the United States with such an identity, how can we not make them feel inferior?

Then in this case, their daughter met Alice, who was of Chinese descent.

"There's no avoiding it, boy."

After a long silence, James said: "Although the United States is a melting pot, its racial discrimination problem has always existed. Although this phenomenon has eased a lot now, and after all, it is mainly concentrated between black and white people, but we It will still be somewhat affected.”

Sophie also sighed.

As the wife who has been with James for more than ten years, she certainly understands all of them.

"Speaking of which, in fact, Alice and Hannah, you should really feel that you were born in the 1970s."

Sophie laughed at herself and said, "Mom, I was born in the late 1940s and went to college in the 1960s. Did you know that in the 1950s, the proportion of women going to college was very low, and Most of these professions are not open to women. For example, almost all women practice medicine as nurses, because the real professions are not open to women at all!"

"So Alice, you don't have to feel too bad about today's events. The country is still changing very quickly. Think about it, when your mother and I finished school, there were only a handful of female doctors in the entire history of the United States, but look Now, how many women are going on to obtain higher degrees?"

"Then by the same token, all kinds of conflicts we encounter every day will definitely be resolved continuously, from big problems to small troubles. Think about it, everyone, what was the goal of the Mayor of Culver City when he ran for office last year? "

After the question was raised, Hannah answered: "Fence the lawns of all residential areas, and the city government will pay for it!"

Hearing Hannah's immature voice, the whole car burst into laughter, and Sophie immediately said, "Yeah, it's just a fence around the lawn. This is the publicity goal of the mayor's election. Why is it just such a trivial thing?" What about small things?"

Now, Hannah couldn't answer, she pouted and frowned, and Oscar said, "Because major issues like widening roads and expanding libraries have been resolved, he has to focus on some A trivial matter."

"Correct, that's it!"

Sophie laughed loudly: "Because the big problems have been solved, I can only deal with some trivial things. And think about it, with regard to the problems Oscar just raised, we in Culver City ten years ago The goal that has not been achieved, widening roads and expanding libraries, if this kind of thing is placed in some slightly backward countries, is it actually a trivial matter?"

"Because there are still more important issues that have not been resolved, such as the transformation of slum areas, the popularization of medical insurance, the increase in employment rate, and even as a larger city, strive to realize industrial modernization and strive to become a well-off society as soon as possible... Cough cough, that's the reason .”

Almost talking too much, Alice coughed twice, but Hannah thought she was uncomfortable, and patted her on the back very thoughtfully.

"Don't worry, mom, I understand these principles."

Saying so, Alice still couldn't help sighing, and looked out the window. Since it was already noon, James drove directly to the city for dinner. Not far from the street, Chinatown in Los Angeles was clearly visible.

"Actually, as long as we become stronger, it is impossible for anyone to dare to pick faults."

Looking at the plaque at the end of the street, Alice smiled slightly: "I am more confident than any of you. In just thirty years, China's GDP will definitely reach the second place in the world. Mom, do you want to make this bet with me? "

Being number two in the world in thirty years, this prophecy is really exaggerated. Of course, Sophie didn't think it could come true, but she still smiled lightly, and immediately looked at James, and sure enough, he also showed a warm smile.

However, Oscar in the backseat rolled his eyes, and Sophie couldn't help feeling that he was too disrespectful to her sister, right?

"Okay, then I'll bet you."

When James slowed down slowly and was about to stop at their target hotel, Sophie smiled and said, "However, since you think China will become so powerful, don't you want to make some achievements?"

"Absolutely!"

Alice looked at the environment outside the window, the Cadillac was parking in front of a Chinese restaurant, and watching the little brother in traditional costume continue to direct, she laughed happily.

"The first step, let's make a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars first, all walks of life are involved, let's talk about turning the whole of the United States into our own backyard! Then, then...uh...the next steps haven't been done yet Think about it, but now that you’ve reached this level, it’s really tasteless to talk about money. Hey, Oscar, Hannah, are you right?”

Hannah nodded at her immediately, and Oscar lazily leaned on a glass, humming.

"Then Miss Richest Man in the World, don't you still intend to lead mankind to the universe?"

"Uh... this is still a bit exaggerated."

Seeing her parents laughing non-stop in the front row, Alice made a face in the rearview mirror, and said cheerfully, "But it's good to fight for it, work hard~"

"Oh! Sister, come on!"

"Well, mom likes you."

"Okay, my daughter is really proud of my father."

"Of course~ Hey, Oscar, don't you want to say something? Your sister and I are going to become the richest man in the world!"

Oscar curled his lips and made a cut.

"It's useless to talk about it. Let Cisco make its first pot of gold first, and then talk about it. It costs five dollars to register a leather bag company in the living room!"

"Uh... well, I'm speechless."
