My daughter works in Japan.

Three shallots, equivalent to more than 70 yuan. ...

Frankly speaking, it is not a taste for my daughter to dig abroad. Especially when some friends and relatives see me, they always scold me like a criticism meeting: how can you let a writer, such a daughter, work abroad! ..... Some simply sarcastically said to me: You didn't see those working girls in the city, that's your daughter's portrayal! I felt terrible when I heard that. So I desperately wrote more letters to my daughter. I said how many articles I wrote last month, how many I took, how many I wrote and how many I took this month, which means that I have money now and don't have to work. I didn't expect my daughter to write to me desperately, saying that how much is an egg and how much is a catty of rice? Everything abroad is extremely expensive. Buying three shallots is equivalent to more than 70 yuan! The implication is that she must work.

Later, I learned that my daughter found a job in a restaurant, of course, washing dishes and serving dishes. I don't think Japanese restaurants can stand while serving food like China Hotel. They should kneel on the ground. God, poor daughter, I am afraid that you will be tired when you bring me a bowl of rice at home, but you have to kneel there to serve the "Japanese devils." Ah, I'm in pain.

My daughter wrote to me again and said, Dad, don't be so sad and hurt your liver. The Japanese migrant girl next to me, whose father is also the big boss of a company, will never reach out to her rich father for tuition and room and board, and she is determined to work independently. What am I? I was relieved to see such a letter from my daughter. It turned out to be a foreign capitalist's young lady kneeling there with my daughter!

Later, my daughter wrote to say how much money she earned by working for an hour. I was not only relieved, but also began to envy her. The money she earns in an hour is worth my whole day's work and capital. The wife's eyes are redder. It turns out that a daughter's day's work money can be worth a month's salary.

Emergency telegram in the middle of the night, conflict with Japanese boss ...

Late one night, my daughter suddenly called from abroad and said that she had something urgent to ask me for help.

It turned out that Zhao Mei, a female classmate in her dormitory, had an argument with the Japanese boss and ran back to the dormitory in tears. Then, her daughter handed the phone to Zhao Mei, and she cried to me about what had happened.

It turns out that Zhao Mei has been working in a factory for more than half a year, and everything is going well. The Japanese boss who is in charge of their work is also quite polite to her. But tonight, I don't know why, the Japanese boss expressed dissatisfaction with her just because she didn't make coffee in time, and even shouted in front of her: "I hate China people the most!" Zhao Mei was surprised and angry, because in such a long time in Japan, she had never seen a Japanese speak so rudely. Besides, it's not her fault that the coffee is not ready in time, but there is no sugar in the coffee. To this end, Zhao Mei was very angry and rudely refuted the Japanese boss loudly: "I hate Japanese people the most!" When he said that, he left his job and said that he had resigned. The Japanese boss didn't expect Miss China to be so fierce, so he apologized politely and told some jokes in a humorous tone, hoping that she could continue to work. But Zhao Mei said that he would do nothing and go on strike resolutely. She hurried back to the dormitory.

Her only thought after she came back was to ask my daughter to call me. She said that at this critical moment, we can't find our dear father, only the writer's father. These last two sentences made me nervous before I could be proud, and then I felt more responsible.

Frankly speaking, I am also very excited after hearing the story of Zhao Mei, because Zhao Mei is my daughter's classmate in China and often comes to my home to study with her daughter. She gave me the impression that she was honest and a little shy. I didn't expect to be so brave in a foreign country. First, I praised her. I said I didn't expect you to be good. You dared to rush up at the critical moment, which greatly destroyed the arrogance of the boss and gained prestige! I said that if you were in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, you must be a hero from the front ... On the phone, I heard my humor make her laugh, so I changed my tone and said that the Japanese boss said that he hated China people the most, which was from the heart; You said you hated the Japanese the most. In any case, people will feel that "foreign countries are stronger than China". People will think, in that case, why do you have to go through all kinds of procedures to apply for studying in Japan? I said that your bravery tonight, although exciting to me, is not a "way of fighting". In fact, you didn't even say anything, just smiled contemptuously at that rude boss. That's the best. Think about it, a boss of a rich country who thinks he is very advanced and has a developed culture says insulting words to a little girl in a backward country, and the little girl just smiles contemptuously, which will make him feel ashamed! Zhao Mei said you really should be a writer, Dad. I said that this is not my opinion, but what I learned from Mr. Lu Xun's article-my contempt is silence, even turning my face away.

After I put down the phone, I couldn't put my heart down and continued to write. I said in my letter: You worked for more than half a year before you ran into an "incident". If you work in a factory in China, you may have many "incidents" with rude leaders within six months! Of course, at home, no matter how fierce the quarrel is, it will not rise to the height of national dignity. In foreign countries, any small friction may lead to a high degree of national dignity and personality. But I still advise you not to be too nervous. Why do thousands of our students study so hard from others even if they are not afraid of losing money? In fact, they admit that we are behind others. Only by daring to admit backwardness can we overcome it, so I don't want you to feel great discrimination when you are angry and wronged at every turn. I think from a human point of view, people don't just live in ideas, but the weaknesses and defects of personality are some problems of people. So I don't want you to be arrogant, but to be far-sighted and superb.

My daughter wrote that you should stop talking. We are already excellent. Zhao Mei is very tall and her boss respects her.

Sure enough, when Zhao Mei was leaving the factory to take a college exam, the boss specially gave her a gift, saying that you are an ambitious young man from China. I wish you study hard and succeed in the exam.

I hope you don't do too well. ...

I often encourage my daughter that you will have a bright future. Because you have your father's wisdom gene and your mother's diligence gene, you will be excellent in all aspects.

Maybe my daughter's confidence increased after hearing my encouragement. She made rapid progress in her studies, and her Japanese speech was awarded a certificate by the mayor of a Japanese city. In the hotel where I work, I became more and more excellent and was promoted step by step. The so-called Excellence means that my daughter quickly mastered some skills of hotel work, such as Japanese cuisine pays attention to aesthetics, and the names of dishes and flowers are integrated. If you want chrysanthemum, all the dishes and vegetables should be arranged according to the shape of chrysanthemum; If you want a cherry blossom, you must arrange it in the shape of a cherry blossom. In short, it is called "posing flowers". Generally speaking, Japanese people are very afraid of performing. Because my daughter is studying art in China, she is very surprised, but I think the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn can arrange flowers quickly and well after she learns to arrange flowers. From then on, she was not allowed to wash dishes and end dishes, specializing in advanced flower arrangement. Setting flowers is not only a skill, but also a management nature, because in the process of setting flowers, we must give orders to pastry chefs and chefs to deliver this dish to that dish, and no one can be late.

The hotel owner began to value my daughter and asked her to do some hotel management work every day. From the kitchen to the front desk, from bookkeeping to collecting money (collecting money), the daughter shows her talents everywhere. Actually, she is examining my daughter's working ability. On a holiday, a branch company 0/00 km away from/kloc was in a hurry, because there were too many guests, and it was urgent to increase the work and management personnel. The boss sent a car to see my daughter off because her daughter did well in the branch after exercising in the head office. She is in charge of overall management while doing a good job. She said it was a miracle that day, and she could see and do it in time which process was missed, which plate and bowl were empty, and which guest needed anything. She is so nimble that she can't believe it herself. After closing the store at night, everyone was shocked, and the income of this day broke the record since opening the store.

When my daughter came back from the branch, all the Japanese and China people in the main store lined up to applaud her victory. Since then, my daughter's prestige in the hotel has become higher and higher, and as a "cadre", she has gradually gained some authority. My daughter was very proud and said to me on the phone, Dad, I'm not bragging. Now, if I go back to China, I can be a manager of a medium-sized hotel.

I said, why are you doing so well? Genetically speaking, you are showing my intelligence. The daughter said humorously: the latecomers come from the top. If I still show your cleverness, it's equivalent to marking time.

My daughter's excellent study and earning more money by working make me complacent, and sometimes I can't help bragging in front of my friends. Indeed, there is an old saying in China: A son travels a thousand miles and worries. A little setback of a daughter in a foreign country will make her parents uneasy day and night, but a little achievement will make her happy, not to mention that her daughter can have such excellent performance. I think I can watch my daughter safely from now on.

Unexpectedly, my daughter wrote a sad letter. The letter said that while she was working very hard, a Japanese female employee in the hotel talked to her and said to her daughter in a pleading tone: Please take care of her, I hope you won't do too well ... My daughter didn't understand at first, but later she learned that the Japanese female employee was a member of the hotel (equivalent to a regular worker in China). If a migrant worker works well and surpasses her, then. What makes her daughter unbearable is that in a festival to express friendship, Japanese female employees specially sent her a dress and asked her for understanding. Daughter holding this specially sent gift, the in the mind is not a taste.

My daughter sympathizes with the Japanese female employee, but she doesn't want to do badly. What should I do if she calls? I said that in China, if your Excellence endangers the interests of another person, that person will be jealous at first, and then he will slander you and try to discredit you. My daughter said that if the Japanese woman used this method, I would be relaxed, but she pleaded so well that I was at a loss. I said I had never seen a victim who begged you so gently in my life. Dad is at his wit's end. Do it yourself!

Two cakes, one for you and one for my son.

When my daughter first started working, she often complained that her boss was stingy, strict, hypocritical and clever. I wrote to criticize her picky and unfair. I said, if the boss in China was as smart and strict as the Japanese boss, China would have been rich! I said that these problems you mentioned are actually the advantages of capitalists; I said, why do you expect capitalists to be angry with you, true to you and stupid to you? I said you must hold your horses and bite your teeth. Your real purpose is to study. I talked and talked, and gradually I didn't have to talk, because my daughter complained less. Finally, I turned my face and began to have a good impression on capitalists.

For example, in a rainstorm, the factory informed my daughter and Zhao Mei not to go to work tomorrow. The teacher who answered the phone forgot to tell her. In this way, the daughter and Zhao Mei went to work in the factory in the rainstorm the next day. The boss of the factory was surprised to see his daughter and Zhao Mei coming in the rain, saying that they had been notified yesterday and were closed today. But later, he said, I'm sorry, it's our fault, because we are calling the school teacher and telling you that this notification method will be wrong ... Then the boss went to the store next door to buy two packs of snacks for my daughter and Zhao Mei, and said he was sorry and bowed frequently. On the way back, Zhao Mei and her daughter were very moved, saying that if this were in China, the factory leaders would not be so polite and would not scold us for being fools. On another occasion, my daughter and Zhao Mei had to quit their factory jobs because of the difference in study time and working time. The owner of that factory was not happy at first. Besides, the boss's impression of overseas students in China is to work to earn money, and he can't understand why he resigned. But when he found that his daughter and Zhao Mei had resigned in order to study better, he was moved and called out the boss's wife. They bowed and praised their daughter and Zhao Mei's study spirit, and took out some study stationery as gifts. Now, my daughter and Zhao Mei are moved to tears. The proprietress cried when she saw this, and advised them to study hard and have the opportunity to work in the factory. Excellent children like you, they are welcome when they come.

What moves my daughter most is the restaurant owner, who often buys her some small gifts and snacks. Capitalists don't judge patterns and progress like we do, but they have their own ways of praising them. The boss will give her a proper salary increase for her outstanding performance in the restaurant. More importantly, whenever she gets off work, she will take her daughter to the market to buy two cakes, one for her daughter and one for her son. Let the daughter feel that the boss is as good to her as his own son. The daughter is going to college, and the boss is just like his son. He cares about it every day, and often buys some delicious desserts for his daughter to encourage her to study hard. My daughter sometimes addresses her boss in Japanese in her letters. I looked it up in a Chinese-Japanese dictionary, and that Japanese actually means mom.

Seeing my daughter moved to this state by capitalists, I can't help but return to my daughter's original point of view. I said that there will never be hatred and love for no reason in this world. The hypocritical feelings of capitalists have blinded you, because the emotions they use are strict work emotions, and you are often confused and even stupidly moved by this work emotion. How much people feel about you is actually how much you have created for him. I said that when you go to work during the rainstorm, the capitalist will buy you some snacks, but it is just a means to win over you to work better for him in the future; I said that the proprietress is a capitalist and can cry for your study for the same purpose; I said that the proprietress treated you with affection for her son and moved you to continue to work hard for the hotel. All this is hypocritical and must not be really touched.

My daughter was not convinced and wrote a letter to refute me; I wish our factory director in China a little hypocrisy, at least let us feel the warmth of human feelings.

I am speechless. I think our leaders probably don't even have hypocritical patience.

Suddenly one morning, my daughter called. We never answer our daughter's phone in the morning, thinking that something important has happened; But my daughter's voice is normal, even a little beaming. She said that she wanted to go to college, and the hotel owner discussed with her that if she entered the city university, the tuition of the university would be fully borne by the boss. The boss said that the conditions in that university are very good and the teaching quality is very high. An excellent student like my daughter will have a bright future if she is admitted to such a university. My wife and I can't believe this is true. Do foreign bosses really care so much about our daughter? Later, my daughter told us that there was a branch of the boss in that city, and the boss wanted her to go to that university, hoping that her daughter could continue to work in the branch. The boss's concern is conditional, and my wife and I are relieved at once. I'm a little worried, because the boss's conditions are also very attractive, which may induce my daughter to give up her favorite university and major, but if my daughter doesn't listen to the boss, the boss will definitely be angry with her, and the result will be even worse ... My daughter heard my worry, and she said, Dad, you underestimate me and my boss.

My daughter finally got into her favorite university and major, and left the hotel where she worked to go to another city. Of course, the boss was sorry and unhappy, but she gave my daughter a gift beyond normal etiquette with a smile and encouraged her to work harder in the new mileage. I felt ashamed when I read my daughter's letter. She is really rich and cultured. I really look down on her.

My daughter arrived in a new city and soon worked again. She proudly told me on the phone that her self-reliance ability "went up two floors"! She can do more than a dozen hourly jobs a day without delaying her studies, and she can cook for herself. The wife shouted at the side: Don't be exhausted! Don't be exhausted! ..... My daughter said she was tired. Japanese old ladies in their 70s are more capable than me. We China people are so sissy!

My daughter has only been studying abroad for more than two years; However, she has become so hardworking and self-reliant. Whenever I see a picture of her staring into her innocent eyes on the wall, I am really happy and distressed.
