Compared with the scenery I saw when I came back a year ago, Tokyo has undergone great changes. First of all, there are more cars on the street, and most of them are Japanese cars. In Ai Shizuko's opinion, this is even more surprising than the Mercedes-Benz cars that her son drove into a German car: "Xiao Ai Jun, have you seen it?"

Ai Fei browsed the street scene casually. The styles of these cars seemed too old-fashioned to him! He was talking to his mother in disguise, and suddenly, he stepped on the brakes: "Squeak!"

Ai Xiko was shaken by him: "Xiao Ai Jun? What's wrong?"

"What is that...?"

Ai Shinko looked at him along his finger, but she didn't seem surprised: "This? It's a parade that the Chinese who stayed in Japan asked to return to China."

Ai Fei looked back at his mother in disbelief: "You mean, do you know something like this?"

"Yes?" Ai Xiko felt that her son was a little fussy: "What? Don't Xiao Ai Jun know?"

"I... don't know." Ai Fei murmured to himself, pushed open the car door with great affection and stood on the side of the road: passing by him was a parade of about 300 people, some holding large photos of horses, Eun, Les, and Mao in their hands, some holding five-star red flags, and some holding large slogans that read: "Request the Japanese government to release it! Let us return to the motherland as soon as possible!" Some wrote: "We must go back to our country just like the Chinese government allows Japanese expatriates to return to Japan. Allow us to return to China!" Walking through the streets.

As a time traveler, Ai Fei knew only some knowledge that could be obtained in books. He never thought of such a scene. Why... Chinese people in Japan did not go back secretly when they returned home, but also protested with such a big fanfare? Ah! This is really the first time I have seen it!

"Xiao Aijun?Xiao Aijun?"

"Hey!" Ai Fei agreed without looking back, still staring at the Chinese people demonstrating on the streets. Listening to their uneven Japanese slogans, he felt strange in his heart: Is this useful?

Ai Shizuko finally couldn't help getting out of the car: "Xiao Ai Jun, let's go home?"

"Ah? Ah! OK, we... go home." With a feeling of unknown importance, Ai Fei and his mother got into the car: "Oh, mom, you have seen such a thing, have you seen it?"

"Yes. What, is there any problem?"

"No, no." Ai Fei never had the good mood to return after a long time: "Mom, what's going on?"

"Well, I'm not very clear." Ai Shizuko's words immediately made his heart halted, but fortunately, she continued: "I just knew that from the 25th year of Showa, some Chinese students or other people had returned to China on secret routes. Well, after the 27th year of Showa, because the number of expatriates returning from China was increasing, Chinese in Japan could also propose to return to their motherland with the permission of the Japanese government."

Ai Fei frowned: "Secret route?"

"Hi Yi! It is said that it was obtained by Chinese people in Japan... What kind of visa is from the Taiwan government. Then take a freighter with British flag and returns to Tianjin, China from Yokohama Port. Because it is a very secretive approach, it is called a secret route." (Note)

Ai Fei didn't know anything about such a history. He thought Ai Yukiko was cheating on him. He knew that his mother could not do such a thing, so he had to sigh that his knowledge was still too poor. His mind was filled with Chinese demonstrations, and he had no intention of appreciating the achievements of Tokyo's construction. The mother and son drove their cars all the way back to the downstairs of the apartment in Chiyoda District.

He moved his luggage and other items upstairs in three times. Ai Xiko looked at his son's sweaty face lovingly: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Ai Jun! Let's take a break?"

"Hey! I'm really tired!" Ai Fei sat on the tatami regardless of his image, and stretched out his legs: "Well, it seems that it's still comfortable at home? Mom, where is the dog at home?"

"Yes! I didn't pay attention!" Ai Yukiko was reminded by him, and got up and looked for it. No. I don't know if it was sent to Taro Ai Zhu or what happened. Not only was the dog's thing not there, but the other dogs in the family were not there. I could only wait for my husband to come back and ask.

Ai Shinko sat next to her son: "That... Xiao Ai Jun?"

"Um?"

"I heard from Yumiya-kun that you have told me about you." Ai Shizuko said in a small voice: "That American girl's affairs..."

“Eh?”

"Mom won't take what Xiao Ai Jun said at the beginning." Ai Shinko explained incoherently: "I originally wanted to say to Xiao Ai Jun on the boat I came back, but I wanted to go home and return to China this time. Is it okay..."

"What?"

"Please ask someone to arrange it for Xiao Aijun again?"

Ai Fei looked at her in confusion: "What to arrange for once? Ah! Mom, are you talking about blind dates?"

"Hi Yi Hi Yi!" Ai Yuko pursed her lips with a funny look: "Xiao Ai Jun is 21 years old this year, right? Can you take this opportunity and arrange it again?"

Ai Fei smiled bitterly: "Mom, do you think I can have the spirit of going on a blind date now? Mom, I can't stay for a long time when I return to China this time, and I have to go back to the United States. Do you think anyone would be willing to date such a person?"

Ai Shinko felt that what her son said made sense, but she refused to give up: "But, there is always nothing to see, right?"

"Mom, I know you want me to find my partner as quickly as possible, but such things cannot be achieved by being anxious. Moreover, if you really meet a certain girl, the other party has a good impression of me, but I have to leave and have no time to talk with her. Do you think such a relationship is acceptable?"

"Xiao Aijun is already 21 years old. Maybe it's time to get married, right?"

Ai Fei burst out laughing: "Mom, it would be so simple if you just want me to get married and give birth to a lot of fat babies. However, this kind of life is definitely not what I want to pursue. You don't want to see the girl I marry into is the kind of girl who has no feelings for me at all, right?"

"But, the girl Xiao Aijun likes has rejected you?" Ai Shizuko regretted it: "I'm sorry, my mother said the wrong thing."

"No, nothing. You are not wrong." Ai Fei didn't seem to take this matter seriously: "Rejecting me is someone else's own choice, just as Aiguchi said to me, this is her loss, not mine. You don't think Ai Fei can only choose a girl as the object of his life, right? Grace is very beautiful, but if she is the woman I'm the one I'm going to see, you may not be too arrogant!"

“Eh?”

"Nothing." Ai Fei took a break and got up from the tatami: "I have to go out once in a while, mom, let's go out to eat?"

"Why not go to the company today?"

"I can't go today. I may have to go to a friend tonight. Well, I'll go to work tomorrow."

"But, what about dad?"

"Don't tell him for the time being, otherwise, all the colleagues in the company will come. Tonight, you and me are the only ones going out for dinner."

"Hi! I'll change my clothes."

It was dark late in June, and it was still far away. You could see Mr. Nagasaki standing at the door of the whale fish, bowing to the guests with a smile. Beside him, there was a young man standing, who was also following his appearance. It seemed that the future receptionist was receiving the first step of training?

The Whale Fish Restaurant is located opposite the street, with several similar restaurants around it. Due to the improvement of the economic situation, more people chose to drive to the restaurant for dining. So, several shops around joined forces to empty a large area on the roadside for use as a parking lot. When Ai Fei and his friends came over, several cars had already been parked in groups of three or three in the parking lot. He glanced around and found that most of them were domestic brands.

After parked the car, the mother and son walked slowly towards the restaurant gate. Mr. Nagasaki bowed with a smile and said, "Good evening, welcome!"

"Good evening!"

Hearing this familiar voice that had not been heard for a long time, Nagasaki was stunned for a moment: "Ai...jun?"

"Hello, Mr. Nagasaki. Is the business doing well recently?"

"Ah! It's really you? It's been a long time since I saw you? I once asked Fuji-kun, who came here to eat, and then I learned that you're going abroad. This time... have you been back?"

"Hey! It can't be considered back, I'm just going back to China for the time being. I'll deal with some things and I'll have to leave after a while."

"Ah, that's really a pity!" Nagasaki smacked his lips regretfully: "Ah, I'm sorry, look how rude I am? Is this a wife?"

"Hi Yi!" Ai Yuko took a step forward: "I am Ai Yuko. Xiao Ai Jun has always been taken care of by you, thank you very much."

"Where should be said that I and Naiko were taken care of by Ai Jun. After Naiko learned about Ai Jun's going abroad, she felt a little regretful!"

Ai Fei looked around with a smile: "Is the business recently good? It seems that there are a lot more customers than before?"

"Hi Yi! The business is indeed much better than last year. It seems that the main reason is that the guests have a lot of money in their hands, right?"

"So……"

"Hi Yi Hi Yi! Please come in and please come in. Oh, let me lead the way." Nagasaki led the way in front, and the two followed in. Sure enough, there were really many guests in the restaurant, most of whom were office workers, with briefcases next to the seats, and a suit was dragged down on the back of the chair, chatting and laughing loudly. On this hot afternoon, I went to the restaurant to order a few side dishes, drink a glass of cool beer, and relax with my good friends. It was simply a supreme enjoyment.

"I'm sorry, please wait!" Nagasaki explained, ran forward, and whispered a few words to a girl in front of the counter. When the latter turned around, Ai Fei recognized it. It was Mrs. Nagasaki Yingzi.

Mrs. Yingzi didn't expect that he would suddenly appear in the restaurant. After distinguishing it for a while, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Good evening, welcome!"

"Well, good evening! Mrs. Yingzi is really getting more and more beautiful!" Ai Fei joked with her: "Mom, this is Mrs. Yingzi, just like the situation at home. Mr. Nagasaki's family is also in charge of the family!"

With a word, everyone smiled at the same time.

"So, Mrs. Yingzi?"

"Ah, hey, hey! Please go here."

Note 1: About 95 of the Chinese demonstrations and secret routes in Japan are completely true. It is not a fabrication by the author. Even when I started writing, I asked my grandmother who had real experience. In her words, she and my grandfather returned to Tianjin, China on the secret route. It was 1951 at that time.
