America started as a game

Li Hua was stunned for a moment, not understanding what his parents meant at first.

homesick?

Aren’t you at home now?

But soon he thought of something. What his parents said about missing home was probably not his current home, but his hometown.

Li Chengping and Luo Yun were both first-generation immigrants, or rather stowaways, which was still very common at the time.

It's just that Li Chengping and Luo Yun rarely talk about this aspect, and Li Hua doesn't know much about it either.

As for how he came to the United States, Li Hua is not very clear.

"Do you want to go back to China?" Li Hua asked.

Li Hua subconsciously talked about the country, not China. This is why he considered himself a Chinese, not an American, from the beginning to the end.

Li Chengping nodded and then said: "It's okay, I just think about it occasionally. It will be fine in two days."

In fact, over the years, Li Chengping and Luo Yun have thought of their hometown more than once.

But their life has never been rich. After struggling for so many years, they have gotten a little better. Their son has to go to college again, which requires a lot of expenses.

In addition, a round trip requires a lot of money, and the air tickets alone are not something they can afford.

In addition, when they came out, the country was not very stable, especially in terms of foreign policy.

What's going on now, given their status, they don't know very clearly. We can only learn about the situation from some newspapers.

But Western newspapers often demonize the domestic situation.

So they are also worried about these situations.

In the past, they had no money, were very busy, and had no time, so if they thought about it occasionally, it would soon be replaced by the trivial matters in life.

But it's different now. Now that their son is rich, they don't have to worry about it. Plus, with the two million dollars from their son, they have money and more time.

So when I felt homesick again, I felt a little out of control.

It's just that they don't dare to go back because they really don't know what the situation is in the country now.

In addition, after being away for so many years, I feel a little timid. Even if I go back, what will happen?

When Li Hua saw his parents like this, he immediately asked: "You haven't told me about your past situation yet? I asked you, but you never mentioned it."

Luo Yun looked at her son and said in a serious tone: "I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would have a bad impression in the country."

"Although your father and I are both American citizens now, we never consider ourselves Americans."

"But you have grown up in the United States since you were a child, and we are worried about you..."

She didn't finish her words, but Li Hua did understand what they meant.

This is because he is worried that Li Hua may have resistance to his identity as a Chinese.

This is actually not uncommon in the United States. There are even many such people, including Chinatown.

Li Chengping and Luo Yun didn't see each other anymore, so they had always been worried that something like this would happen to Li Hua.

After all, the environment they lived in back then was not very good. If they told their son, it would inevitably have some impact on his opinion.

So many times, they keep silent about it.

But now that my son is capable, even if he doesn't tell them, he can still learn some information from various channels.

Li Hua said seriously: "Mom and Dad, you are wrong. From the beginning to the end, I am proud to be Chinese, really!"

Seeing their son's serious eyes, the couple looked at each other, and then both smiled happily. They could see that these were Li Hua's sincere words!

Li Chengping happily drank up the wine in his glass. If it wasn't enough, he poured himself another glass and finished it off!

"Hahaha, okay, your mother and I thought too much." Li Chengping laughed.

Li Hua waited for his parents to finish being happy, then asked: "Then tell me, what is the situation in our family? In addition, my grandparents, grandpa and grandpa should all still be there, right?"

Li Chengping shook his head bitterly, "I don't know. We have been out for more than 20 years. Although we have sent a few letters back, we have never received a reply, so I don't know what the situation is."

"But when we came out, the old people at home were still there." Luo Yun was afraid that Li Hua would think too much, so she immediately added.

Li Hua continued to ask: "Then tell me."

Li Chengping's face showed a look of reminiscence, "My father is your grandfather. He has six children in total. I am the third child in the family. I have an older brother and older sister, and two younger brothers and a younger sister."

"My family is all from rural areas. You may know about the domestic situation. We eat from a big pot and all resources are distributed uniformly."

Li Chengping just briefly talked about the situation without going into detail.

"Anyway, life is not very rich, it can even be said to be difficult. Sometimes I don't even have enough to eat. Plus there are so many children in the family, I really can't afford it."

"I once overheard that your grandfather was about to give up my youngest siblings. They were just over a year old at the time and they were twins."

"I couldn't get angry at the time, so I rushed in and had a big fight with them. I didn't understand their actions at all. In fact, it was impossible to open the pot at home at that time. All the children in the family were sallow and thin. But now that I think about it, in fact, we were

Our family is already amazing, because we have so many children and none of them died young."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, after we had a quarrel, I ran away from home in anger, saying that I would go out and make a living by myself instead of eating the rations at home."

"In the end, without knowing it, I got into the hands of a human trafficker and was sent to the United States."

Although it sounds simple, Li Hua could see some fear in his father's mouth. Obviously, the experience at that time was not that simple.

"Your mother's situation is similar to mine, but she ran away because she didn't want to follow the family's arrangements and marry a fool."

"We were on a boat, and then we came here. Due to some accidents, we escaped, and then we survived in the United States."

"Fortunately, we met Hoya's grandparents at that time, and they helped us and allowed us to live here."

Listening to his father talk about the past, Li Hua could also feel the hardship at that time.

Seeing his parents sinking into memories of the past, Li Hua immediately said: "In that case, let's go back. As far as I know, domestic policies are much more relaxed now."

"Really?" Li Chengping suddenly woke up and asked with some surprise.

Luo Yun also looked at Li Hua nervously.

Li Hua nodded, "I know a little bit about it, but I'm not very clear at the moment. How about we go back when the Chinese New Year is coming this year? It just so happens that I'm also planning to recognize my ancestor and return to my clan."
