Chapter 184 Flying to America to See My Daughter
Looking at An Min, who was still furious, Liang Yi made a decision.
He sat down next to his wife and took her hand: "Min, arguing on the phone, with the Pacific Ocean in between, won't convince anyone."
"Seeing is believing. Let's go to America to see her, to see what kind of environment she's living in. We haven't seen our child in so long."
Anmin initially refused, feeling that it would be giving in to her daughter.
But she couldn't resist Liang Yi's persistent pleading and her concern for her daughter, so she finally nodded.
Visa, airfare, itinerary...
A few months later, Liang Yi and An Min boarded a flight to the United States.
After more than ten hours of flight, Anmin looked at the sea of clouds outside the porthole, feeling a mix of emotions: annoyance, worry, and anticipation.
The plane landed, and Si'an was already waiting at the exit.
Upon seeing her parents, she rushed over, first giving her father a tight hug, and then looking at her mother with some hesitation.
Looking at her daughter's face, which seemed a little thinner, Anmin suddenly felt the words of reprimand she had been holding back all the way stuck in her throat.
Finally, he just said stiffly, "Wearing so little, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Si'an rented a car and drove her parents away from the airport.
Along the way, she excitedly pointed out the buildings and streets outside the window, trying to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.
Anmin looked at the clean yet unfamiliar surroundings outside the window and remained silent.
Over the next few days, Si'an carefully planned her itinerary, determined to help her parents, especially her mother, truly understand her world.
Instead of going directly to museums or landmarks, she took them to Silicon Valley.
She led them on a tour of Apple's visitor center, pointing to the minimalist yet stylish products.
"Mom, look, the reason why this phone operates so smoothly and the interface is so clear and easy to understand is because of the hard work of the user experience designers."
It's not just simple graphic design; it studies human habits and psychology.
Anmin looked around at the tourists from all over the world praising the products, lost in thought.
She took them to the outskirts of a well-known technology company park. Although they couldn't go inside, the atmosphere there was amazing.
Looking at the casually dressed, hurried young people, Si'an spoke up.
"Many people here are doing jobs that didn't exist ten years ago. Dad, Mom, times have really changed, and the boundaries of innovation are expanding every day."
This is where dreams take flight, and Si'an believes that in the future, these ideas will spread throughout China and create a trend.
She even brought out the course projects she had created herself.
She showed her parents a prototype of an app she designed: "This is my homework. Look, I've adjusted the position of this button more than ten times, just so that users can click it in the most natural and effortless way."
This process requires a lot of testing and analysis, just like how you, Mom, used to experiment repeatedly to adjust the efficiency of the production line.
Liang Yi listened with great interest, nodding and asking questions from time to time.
He is quick to accept new things and is very interested in them.
Anmin observed silently, watching the gleam in her daughter's eyes as she talked about her profession.
That focus and enthusiasm is quite similar to what they had back then.
Could it be that her old-fashioned idea was really wrong?
One afternoon, Si'an took them to a modern coffee shop.
Watching her daughter skillfully place an order and pay on her phone, then wait for the electronic card to vibrate to pick up her food, Anmin couldn't help but exclaim, "This is so convenient; I don't even have to take out my wallet."
Si'an smiled: "Mom, this whole process, from the APP interface to the ordering steps, and then to the meal pickup reminder, is all part of the user experience design, with the aim of making it convenient and worry-free for you."
An Min paused for a moment, then looked down at the vibrating electronic sign in her hand. She glanced around at the people waiting leisurely, seemingly unsurprised.
For the first time, she truly felt that the future her daughter had described had already quietly become part of the present and part of her ordinary life.
In the evening, in Si'an's small apartment, the mother and daughter sat side by side on the sofa, looking through Si'an's design drafts and project proposals.
Looking at the exquisite interface and rigorous user research report on the screen, Anmin suddenly said softly.
“I used to think that only real businesses, those that are tangible and visible, were respectable careers. I thought that your brother’s involvement in national defense was the real deal and had a promising future.”
Unexpectedly, these unseen and intangible experiences have become a vast field of study, capable of creating such immense value.
Si'an's nose tingled, and she leaned on her mother's shoulder: "Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have argued with you so impulsively. I just really wanted your approval."
Anmin sighed and gently stroked her daughter's hair.
"It's because your mother is getting old and her vision is outdated. She always wants to choose the safest path for you, but she forgets that you have eyes and a brain and can see further."
Your father is right. Back then, when we broke our secure jobs to start our own businesses, it was considered unreliable by many people.
Now it's your generation's turn to shatter our old perceptions.
She paused, her voice choked with emotion, "You chose this path yourself, so you must walk it well. Make something of yourself and earn your mother's complete respect."
Si'an hugged Anmin and nodded: "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Having her parents' support made her happier than ever.
With her inner conflict resolved, Si'an linked arms with Anmin and spoke with great enthusiasm.
"Dad, Mom, I've been so busy teaching you all this time. Now, let me show you around and help you relax!"
We've come all this way, we should definitely have some fun!
When they talk to their old friends later, they can say, "They've been to America."
Si'an took them to San Francisco.
As the car drove along the winding streets, Anmin looked in surprise at the group of painted villas for women lining the roadside.
The colorful and uniquely designed wooden houses struck her as novel and adorable.
"The color of this house is really bold; we wouldn't even dare to imagine it where we're from."
Si'an explained with a smile, "That's just the California style, free and unrestrained."
She actually quite likes it here; she has really learned a lot here.
However, if she really had to choose, she would still prefer home.
Because it's not a very peaceful place here, she plans to return to China after completing her studies.
As they stood on the observation deck of the Golden Gate Bridge, they gazed at the giant red bridge spanning the blue sea and sky.
With the sea breeze caressing her face and seagulls circling overhead, Anmin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The pent-up emotions in my heart seemed to have been largely dispelled by this magnificent sight.
Afterwards, they drove south along the picturesque Highway 1.
The azure Pacific Ocean stretches out to the right, with waves crashing against the rugged rocks, and occasionally you can see sea lions sunbathing on the beach.
Sian made a special stop at Seventeen Mile Bay so that her parents could stroll under the lone cypress tree and experience the tranquility and magnificence of the sea and sky merging into one.
Looking at all this, Anmin suddenly felt that sending her daughter abroad to experience the beauty of the world was also a good thing.
She has broadened her horizons, and in the future, she will surely have a better future and a better path.
