National Tide 1980

For the sake of love, Ning Weimin went through a lot of troubles in Tokyo, Japan.

But almost simultaneously, his every move was reported by Akira Okamoto to Keiko Matsumoto who was far away in the capital through the phone.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and these news are like throwing a big stone into a dull pool of stagnant water.

Matsumoto Keiko's already gradually quiet mood stirred up again, making her emotionally chaotic.

You know, when a woman in her thirties falls in love with a man eight years younger than herself, in fact, just as Matsumoto Keiko's mother thought, she will instinctively treat the man as a younger brother and dote on him more, and she will think more about him.

Specific to Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin, no matter what obstacles they encounter, Matsumoto Keiko instinctively thinks that I am older than him and naturally have more life experience than him.

Not only can he provide many good suggestions for his work and life from his own experiences of success and failure.

Even if something goes wrong, I should be the one to deal with it.

Therefore, Matsumoto Keiko never blamed Ning Weimin for problems in her marriage. Instead, she felt that she was useless, which was why she failed to deal with these problems.

She believes that everything is a problem that she needs to bear and be responsible for solving. Even if she really needs to make sacrifices, she is mentally prepared to a certain extent.

I didn't even think of taking Ning Weimin's promise "I will marry her" at the airport seriously, although I was very moved.

But it turned out that Ning Weimin proved everything with his actual actions!

It proves that he is a responsible, capable and courageous person who is completely worthy of being entrusted with life.

As a woman who loves him deeply, Matsumoto Keiko naturally cannot calm down.

In addition to being excited and moved, she felt even more distressed and painful.

She pitied Ning Weimin for the great sacrifice he had made for her, felt sorry for the huge price he had paid for his love, and felt sad that their relationship had been unfairly hindered.

Her current understanding of Kang Shude is that of an overbearing and unreasonable authoritarian parent who, like her father, wants to control everything Ning Weimin has.

Not only did he take advantage of Ning Weimin's respect and affection for him, but he also continued to overdraw and hurt without any scruples.

For this reason, Matsumoto Keiko became more and more painful as she thought about it, and finally formed an idea - she could not let her Amin suffer any longer!

He can't be allowed to bear everything by himself!

Absolutely not!

In fact, Matsumoto Keiko's mother was right when she said something. Her daughter is sometimes too stubborn!

Not only is she beautiful like a hurricane, she is aggressive, but she also has a generous side in her character, and she can really ignore things that she sees clearly.

Just because of the news she learned from Tokyo, she suddenly changed her ticket.

Originally, the flight on the morning of December 31 could fly back to Tokyo at noon, but she changed it to the evening and had to arrive in Tokyo at 11 p.m.

Whether he can make it home in time before midnight is still unknown.

But fortunately, her colleagues in the film crew had already gone back, so her behavior was completely free and no one would be suspicious even if she went out of line. All she had to do was say hello to the office.

As for what to do with the free time?

Thousands of drums thunder, thousands of flags fire and the wind rises!

War can happen even in a small area, and of course it comes to the door.

Before returning home, she had to find Kang Shude and talk to him face to face.

But not for herself, but for her Amin.

She could not let Ning Weimin suffer in silence and work hard, but Kang Shude still thought that he was selfish and failed to live up to his cultivation.

This kind of Amin is so pitiful and aggrieved...

At this time in Beijing, the snow has stopped for a few days, but it is also the coldest time.

As the saying goes, it is warm after the wind and cold after the snow.

In the middle of winter, the capital city shows its cold power because the snow absorbs heat.

The north wind blew snow foam all over the ground, turning it into fine ice particles.

But Matsumoto Keiko was not afraid of the cold, so she got up early on December 31 and dressed up carefully.

Then she asked Luo Guangliang, who came as scheduled and thought he would drive her to the airport, to take her to see Kang Shude.

Needless to say, Luo Guangliang was confused by this sudden request, but he could not refuse this errand.

Because before Ning Weimin left, he had already promised that he would do his best to help and take care of Matsumoto Keiko who stayed in the capital.

And from his true heart, he is really satisfied with this future younger brother and sister.

Not only is she beautiful, she is also a big star in Japan.

When he first recognized this as Konatsu in "March of Kamata", and when he sat down to eat with Matsumoto Keiko, he felt like he could play it for the rest of his life.

If Ning Weimin really got married to her, let alone Ning Weimin, even he would be too beautiful to sleep.

And maybe it's because Matsumoto Keiko still has a halo as a star. Her aura or temperament makes people admire her because she likes and admires her, but doesn't understand her.

Luo Guangliang always felt that every word and action of Matsumoto Keiko was the same as the person in the painting, and that he was a different person from himself.

He was only happy that he could help her and had no ability to refuse.

So I had no choice but to obey orders and leave as I was told.

Luo Guangliang started the "little potato" that he had filled with oil in advance, took Matsumoto Keiko and set off from the Beijing Hotel. He passed the huge portrait of "Main and Lenes" across the road and drove past the Tiananmen Gate Tower, and then Bypassing Tiananmen Square where the Monument to the People’s Heroes stands.

When we reached the intersection in front of Qianmen Building, we turned the steering wheel and plunged into Meishi Street.

He was so sincere that he sent Matsumoto Keiko directly to Kang Shude's wine vat without thinking about anything, and gave Kang Shude a sudden visit like a "precision strike".

It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and of course there were no drinkers in the big wine vat. Only Kang Shude, Zhang Dashao, the noodle chef and the shop assistants were sitting at the Eight Immortals table eating breakfast.

The millet porridge is thick and greasy, the pickled radish is carefully chopped, a refreshing plate of pickled crispy cabbage, and two chickens fried to perfection for each person.

The simple and ordinary breakfast is very pleasing to the eye.

But what interests Luo Guangliang the most is the freshly cooked “snails” on the table.

"Snail Zhuaner" is a kind of fire cooking. The preparation of the dough is a little more complicated. It needs to roll the oil and salt layer by layer, cut it crosswise, coil it tightly, flatten it, bake it first and then bake it, so that the middle is slightly raised. Quite authentic.

The "Snail Zhuan'er" on the table is indeed well baked. It looks brown and smells fragrant. It looks much better than the stuff sold in the sesame cake shop outside.

These are undoubtedly the craftsmanship of celebrity chef Zhang Dashao.

So when he saw this scene, he drove out early in the morning. Luo Guangliang, who had not eaten breakfast, suddenly moved his index fingers and salivated.

And soon, he got his wish.

Because it was like Keiko Matsumoto who suddenly opened her eyes wide when she saw several large wine vats in the main room.

The few people in the room who were sitting around the table enjoying a satisfying meal with glowing faces were quite shocked.

No one expected that Luo Guangliang would bring a elegant and well-dressed Japanese beauty so early in the morning.

When Matsumoto Keiko, who was wearing a light-colored cashmere coat and looked extremely stylish, walked into the tavern, which was gray and dark in color and full of the smell of matchmaking, it seemed to have a self-luminous effect, and even the light in the room was bright. few.

Especially Kang Shude, after recognizing Matsumoto Keiko, he felt as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. He almost spit out a mouthful of millet porridge he had in his mouth before he could swallow it.

Needless to say, after the old man swallowed the porridge in his mouth, he quickly stood up and received the guests.

Although the old man was not very happy, either because he choked on the mouthful of porridge or because it was too unexpected, his expression was serious and his face turned blue.

Luo Guangliang, who finally saw the difference between his eyebrows and eyebrows, sat down like a primary school student who knew he had made a mistake.

I immediately took the "Snail Zhuaner" handed over by the waiter and started eating quietly.

After a while of whispers, through Luo Guangliang's careful disclosure, the elders sitting here learned about the origin of this beautiful Japanese girl.

The co-author was Ning Weimin's partner in Japan.

At this time, the big wine tank was already very quiet, and no one was seen.

Kang Shude had a premonition that the following conversation might hurt both parties' faces, so he took Matsumoto Keiko into a more private back room.

It's a bit cold inside. The fire has just been lit and is not very strong yet. You can see the mist even as you speak.

But according to the standards of people in the capital, even uninvited guests must be served tea and be polite.

So as soon as Matsumoto Keiko sat down, Kang Shude brought the thermos over and made her a cup of scalding hot tea.

Even if the clothes are not warm enough, with this cup of tea, at least my hands can be warmed.

Matsumoto Keiko was impatient and her Chinese proficiency was limited. She was afraid of missing the opportunity, so she politely expressed her apology for her unexpected visit.

Then she spoke bluntly pronounced Chinese and said straight to the point that she came to see Kang Shude this time because she wanted to talk about her relationship with Ning Weimin.

Unexpectedly, Kang Shude's next reaction was even more surprising, and he actually spoke fluent Japanese.

Although the wording is quite old-fashioned and somewhat out of touch with today's era, it does not hinder communication and is more conducive to protecting the privacy of their conversation.

Not only did Matsumoto Keiko not expect this move, but the elders sitting at the same table in the outer room were also extremely surprised.

This is the first time that everyone knows that the owner of the big wine vat has the ability to keep his face secret. I speak Japanese very well and can chat with Japanese people effortlessly.

But having said that, once the conversation started to get serious, Kang Shude gradually became a taciturn man.

It doesn't sound like Kang Shude admits that he is in the wrong.

The key is that as an elder and a man, he maintains his own identity and cannot argue with a girl from a younger generation. He must show self-restraint.

Otherwise, if a man sat in front of him, the old man would have sent him away with a few unpleasant words.

But right now, he can't do that. He can only treat her passively and listen silently.

This is in sharp contrast to Keiko Matsumoto, who speaks fiercely.

The people in the outer room only heard Matsumoto Keiko's persistent questioning. Although her crisp Japanese was incomprehensible, she said a lot in almost one breath.

Without using her hands, the words she said were what she was thinking about every day. She had thought about them thousands of times since the last time they met.

She didn't understand why Kang Shude opposed her relationship with Ning Weimin, and was even more distressed by Ning Weimin's situation.

As he talked, he talked about Ning Weimin, just to find someone to replace Kang Shude and fulfill his wish, he spent hundreds of millions of yen in Japan to run awards for him.

She felt more sympathetic and couldn't help but shed tears for Ning Weimin's grievance.

"...No matter what, even if you object to us being together, you can't treat Amin like this. You said you would never see him again, how sad Amin would be. He was your only relative in the world. Yes. I know this best. No matter what, please don't hurt him like this again. If he was really your child, would you treat him so cruelly? Amin is so pitiful..."

At this moment, Kang Shude finally couldn't sit still.

Except that he didn't expect Ning Weimin to be so thoughtful. He was not afraid of cross-strait relations deteriorating again and wanted to find Mr. Song's whereabouts for him. Also because he was a woman's most powerful weapon.

Especially for a beautiful woman like Matsumoto Keiko, the more outstanding her appearance, the more powerful this weapon will be.

Seeing Matsumoto Keiko bowing to him repeatedly with tears streaming down her face, he couldn't help but stand up.

Then he walked around the house anxiously with his hands behind his back, and pondered for a long time.

"Girl, I don't have an opinion against you, I'm just discussing the matter. Frankly speaking, I can see that you are sincere to that boy for what I said today. Otherwise, you wouldn't feel wronged for him. I admit, Maybe you can really be in love, harmonious, and be a good couple in the world. If possible, I don't want to be this evil person."

"But after all, there are differences between China and Japan. Even if I can forget about the war between the two countries in the past, I don't care about the past conflicts between China and Japan. But I can't let the things belonging to my ancestors be lost because of your marriage. It was lost from the hands of the people overseas. The Japanese have robbed too many of our things, and I don’t want to see this happen again in peacetime.”

"Of course, antiques may be unfamiliar to you. You don't know much about them. You may only know that some of these things are relatively valuable. But I have to say that no matter how much the price is, it is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the culture that comes with it. The spirit of dozens of generations of Chinese people and thousands of years of history are contained in these small objects. Regardless of the tripods of the three generations, jade pendants of the Han Dynasty, bricks and tiles of the Qin and Han dynasties, and ivory carvings, every item is implicated in people. These are the collection of the souls of us Chinese people. As long as we are Chinese, we have the responsibility to protect these things and preserve them for our future generations. As a teacher, Wei Min’s ability to identify ancient relics was taught to him by me, so Once cultural relics leak out from his hands, it will be my fault. I will have trouble sleeping and eating, and I will not be able to see my ancestors."

"If I'm not mistaken, the jade bracelet on your wrist was given to you by him, right? This thing is fine in texture and warm in color. It should be produced in Hotan, XJ. After Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty passed through the You domain, a large amount of Hotan jade entered the Central Plains and was concentrated in the Central Plains. In Chang'an and Xianyang, it is loved and collected by rich and powerful people. If he gives something like this to you, then it will become a Japanese thing and have no relationship with China. Today, if you are not a couple, he can give it to you, but in the future, if you are a couple, it will be the same. How about it? Do you know how many precious antiquities he has in his hands? I can't even imagine the consequences if you two become husband and wife. Don't blame me for being cruel or stubborn, but because there is no way to resolve this matter. The problem……"

Kang Shude had already said this, and Matsumoto Keiko was also dumbfounded.

She said nothing, quietly touching the bracelet Ning Weimin gave her in Japan, and said nothing for a long time.

Even in her dreams, she never imagined that she would be in such a situation, because these dead objects would make it difficult for living people.

If it stands to reason, everything that needs to be said has been said, and everything that needs to be seen has been seen. Even if you are reluctant and disappointed, it is time to say goodbye.

Just like the old man said, there is no way to resolve it, we can only accept it.

However, Matsumoto Keiko still refused to admit it. She raised her head sharply, leaving no room for herself.

"Old sir, don't worry. If you are worried about this, why don't we create legal documents? I don't want any of the things you mentioned. As long as Amin and I have legal documents before we get married, it will be his private property. Even if there are any problems after marriage, I have no right to obtain it. In this way, I will be able to do as you wish. If you are still not worried, then why not naturalize me as a Chinese? I am willing to give up my Japanese nationality..."

Kang Shude couldn't believe that Matsumoto Keiko would actually say such a thing?

He never thought that there was such a possibility.

In the excitement, I even forgot Japanese, "Girl, are you serious? Is this what you're saying?"

Matsumoto Keiko nodded, her tearful eyes were full of firm hope. (End of chapter)
